I sat down the chair, horribly annoyed at my mother and Jade. The two of them had gained up and me right there. Both of them were still laughing. Every so often they would stop, look at my face and break up laughing again. I scowled some more. One of those annoying generic ring tones cut through their laughter. Mami straightened up and still chuckling and wiping tears out of her eyes, marched out of the room.
Jade finally managed to calm down. "You done Jade?" I asked irritably.
Jade nodded and looked at me. "Yea, you're cute when you're mad. You know that?"
I opened my mouth and snapped it shut again. No words were coming to me. I'm pretty sure that was the first time she had ever given me a complement. Jade raised an eyebrow.
"This is the part where you say thank you"
I nodded. "T-Thank you Jade"
"T-tha-What are you doing?!" Jade's attempt at mocking at had been interrupted when I jumped up and put my hands on her waist. I grinned evilly at her. Jade grabbed my arms, but before she could do anything; my fingers scrunched up and started moving up and down her sides.
Jade collapsed on the bed in a fit of giggles as she tried to get away.
"No- Stop haha Tori! That's hahahah no fair!" My own laugh was muffled by a pillow hitting my face. I shrieked in surprise at that and fell backwards. Jade, panting; was holding the pillow that she had hit me with.
"Who?" she demanded.
I stuck my tongue out her. "I'm not telling Jadeykins"
That had the desired effect. Jade's left eye twitched wildly. I smirked at that. My smirk vanished however; when my brain caught up to my mouth and I realized who I had just antagonized.
Aw crap.
Faster then I could even think, Jade had launched her self up off my bed and towards me. I scrambled to my feet in an attempt to get away, but that failed when a pillow hit me in the face and completely blocked my vision. By the time I got the pillow off of me, Jade was right there.
She grabbed my wrists and pinned them above my head. At the same time she jumped on me and sat on my stomach. She flexed her fingers and trailed them up my side. I squirmed, trying to get away, but she had me pinned.
"Now then…who told you that I am ticklish?"
I didn't like the menacing tone in her voice.
"Lucky guess?" I ventured.
Jade's eyes narrowed at that. I squirmed again, but Jade just squeezed her legs tighter.
"No. You're not going anywhere Tori"
"Jade!" I whined. Okay so it wasn't all that bad being pinned by Jade, but I was rightly concerned about what she would do. Before I could find out what she would do, Mami walked into my room.
"Jay, that was your father calling- oh my. It looks like I have interrupted something"
I looked at her, and then looked at Jade. I could only imagine what it looked like to my mother. My arms pinned above me, and Jade straddling me. And from the feel of it, my shirt was bunched up as well. Great.
Jade smiled. "Nope you're not interrupting anything. Just trying to get some info from little jay here."
"And you have to straddle my daughter to get that info?"
"She wouldn't stop moving"
"I'm right here!" I said interrupting the two of them.
"Yes I can see that Little Jay, and I doubt Jade has forgotten that you're underneath her"
To my surprise, Jade actually blushed at that! As if she had just realized the position that we were in. Not that it meant she moved at all. No, she just stayed right where she was.
"Jay, your father called to let us know that we might lose power again. Storm is tearing the power plants apart. And now I think I will leave you two to…whatever it is you two are doing"
With that, Mami turned and left the room. "I'm interrogating her!" Jade called out.
"If that's what you kids call it these days!" Mami shot back instantly.
Jade chuckled. "Your mother..." She shook her head, clearly amused. I don't know why, but I spoke up and asked, "Where's your mom?"
Jade shrugged. "I don't know, last I heard from her was six weeks ago when she went to Hawaii with her newest fuck toy. And before you ask about my dad, he's somewhere in America with my step-mom"
I was a little stunned at the apathy at which Jade said that. Before I could say anything, Jade started tickling me, and I twisted and squirmed as I tried to get away. But Jade is stronger then she looks and I was trapped. I bucked my hips and then rolled, but Jade stayed attached to me. Her legs still wrapped around me, we rolled around my room, laughing as we fought to see who would end up on top.
After several minutes of this, Jade detached her self from me, and fell back against the side of the bed laughing. I was laughing myself, and more then memorized by the sound of her voice and the look on her face when she was happy.
"Something on my face Tori?" Jade's question brought me back to reality.
I shook my head, "No. Well not at the moment, but I was just thinking that you're pretty"
Jade shook her head and chuckled. "Tell me something I don't know" she said dismissively
"You're beautiful," I said quietly.
Jade's mouth opened and shut a couple times. "I…I know that" she tried for the dismissive tone again, but failed miserably.
Jade looked at me, and then said, "Lets just watch a movie before we lose power again"
I nodded. We argued over the movies, with Jade shooting down everything that was family friendly; and I was refusing to watch the violent horror movies that she had in her back pack. (Why would she have them with her?)
Eventually we settled on the Dark Knight Rises. I liked the movie, and so did Jade. It also influenced my decision to agree to the Dark knight because Jade threatened to put ice down my pants if I didn't pick a good movie within the next minute. Putting the movie in the dvd player, we climbed on the bed and I leaned back into Jade's arms.
Hopefully the power will last. I didn't want to move out of Jade's arms for any reason.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'll try and update more often but once again, college is getting in my way. Bastards.
