Tori
It was getting late. Tori had been up most of the day browsing through different websites and stores, trying to come up with some ideas for the Prom she was supposed to be setting up. She hadn't gotten very far, her mind wasn't really on the task and her eyes kept wandering over to the photograph of her and Jade on the beach.
I should really take that down Tori thought, but she couldn't bring herself to remove it, the photo made her smile but it made her feel bad all at the same time.
She sighed and shut down her laptop, giving up on her work. She was about to get up and collapse on her bed when her phone next to her keyboard started ringing, startling her. She picked up the PearPhone and smiled as she saw Cat's caller id flashing on the screen.
"Hey, Cat."
Cat
"Hi Tori!" Cat squealed over the phone. "I was wondering if you could sleep over at my house tonight. My parents are out of town and Doug went camping with his friends, so I'll be pretty lonely tonight." She paused. "Oh and he brought his blue blanket with him."
Tori ignored the last sentence and thought about the offer for a while. She was tired. If she'll sleep over at Cat's, she'll probably be up all night. But being Tori..
"Um, yeah, sure." Tori said in a cheerful voice. She heard Cat clap at the other end of the phone. "See you in a few, Tori!" The redhead said before ending the phone call.
Cat immediately dialed Jade next.
"What?" Jade answered.
"Could you sleep over at my place tonight?"
Silence.
"Jade?" Cat said quietly.
"Why? What are we going to do?"
"My parents are out of town and my brother's out with his friends. I don't want to be alone." The redhead answered, purposely softening her voice.
"What are we going to do?" Jade asked again, letting out an impatient sigh.
"We can watch some movies. You can bring some DVDs if you like. Oh and we can have a pillow fight!" Cat exclaimed.
"No pillow fight," Jade suddenly said. "But, fine. I'll bring some DVDs." She said in a forced voice.
"I'll see you then! Bye!"
"Wait, is your room pink-" Jade tried to ask but Cat already ended the call.
Tori
Tori put the phone down and groaned, she was tired and just wanted to go to sleep, but she just couldn't say no to her friend. She grabbed a bag from her wardrobe and started packing it with anything she'd need to go to Cat's before dragging herself downstairs. She wandered around the kitchen, shoving a couple of packets of sweets into her bag to keep Cat happy, and a couple of dvds for entertainment; she knew what her red haired friend was like and Tori wasn't in the mood for a pillow fight.
"TRINA!" Tori called out, unsure of where her sister was.
She heard a faint "What!" from upstairs and followed the shout. After much persuading and the promise of a foot massage when she got home- Tori cringed at the thought- the younger Vega managed to blag a lift to Cat's place.
The car ride wasn't very exciting. It mainly consisted of Trina 'singing', or so she called it, the songs on the radio while Tori started absentmindedly out of the window thinking over the events of the day and hoping that tonight might drive it out of her mind for a while. She didn't even notice they'd arrived at the Valentine's house until Trina shoved her out of the car door.
"Hey!" Tori whined, picking herself up of the drive just as Trina drove off, yelling something at 'beauty sleep' and 'foot massages'.
The Latina sighed, picking up her bag of sleepover items and walked up to the front door to ring the door bell.
Cat
Cat was humming as she prepared the sleeping bags for her guests in her room. After patting down the last one, Cat heard the door ring.
Someone's here!
Cat runs down in her pink pajamas and duck bedroom slippers to answer the door.
"Hi Tori!" The redhead says after seeing the brunette on her front porch. She greets her visitor with a hug.
Cat shows Tori around her house, except for her bedroom. She doesn't want Tori to find out that she's not Cat's only visitor for the evening yet.
After showing Tori Doug's room, the two girls returned to the living room. Cat got her stack of DVDs from her room and placed it on the sofa. "Go choose a movie. I'll just make some popcorn." Cat said, hopping towards the kitchen.
Tori
"Okie dokie!" Tori said with a smile as she flicked through the dvd's until she found something good for a sleepover. She got up an dropped to the floor beside the dvd player to put the disc in, select the language and let all the random movie trailers at the beginning play through.
"Hey, Cat. I'm just going to get changed into my pyjama's. Where's your bathroom?""
Cat pointed towards the left and Tori followed her directions until she reached the right door and entered the small room. She took her time to get changed into her night things- a pale blue vest top and some cream pyjama bottoms with little monkey faces on them- then padded bare foot back into the living room to find Cat already sat watching the beginning of the movie and munching her way through the popcorn.
Tori sank into the seat beside her friend and helped herself to a handful of food while the smaller girl snuggled closer, resting her head on the brunettes shoulder. The younger Vega gave her a small smile and allowed her to stay there, trying to ignore the twinge in her stomach that felt strangely like guilt. She didn't know why she'd feel guilty for letting Cat, well, be Cat, but Tori couldn't stop her mind from strolling to Jade and wondering what the goths reaction would be if she found them like that. She shook her head to rid herself of any thought of Jade. She focused her attention fully on the film, after all, she was here to try to forget everything for a while, again, so it was better to attempt to enjoy the night and not think about anything that had to do with Jade West.
Jade
Jade was befuddled. She couldn't say no to Cat yet she'd wanted to spend a good night alone, or possibly in Beck's trailer. She rolled her eyes as she stuffed things in an overnight bag. She was trotting down the steps when she remembered that Cat requested some DVDs.
She grunted really loudly and dropped her bag mid-step and headed back to her room to get what Cat wanted.
Driving to Cat's house was a mess. Apparently, Jade wasn't as good with directions as she thought she was because she got kinda lost on the way there. Add that to a number of things she was pissed about. After half an hour or so she finally made it to the familiar house and cursed inwardly at her own shortcomings. But whatever, right? She was here. Now she was going to have some… fun. Yeah, sure. Fun.
She didn't need to ring the bell because she's well known inside, but the thing is the door was locked which Jade even more annoyed that she kicked the door and almost banged it, if not for the ounce of sanity she had left. She knocked furiously and waited. Cat wasn't getting a smile from her.
Cat
Cat and Tori were comfortably snuggled against each other when Cat heard a loud bang on the front door.
Jade.
"Let me just get that.." Cat whispered, walking up to the front door. After taking a deep breath, she turned the knob to see an impatient goth glaring at her.
"Glad you could make it, Jade."
Tori
Tori peeked over the top of the sofa to see and almost choked on her popcorn when the door opened to reveal none other than Jade West. She tried to hide back behind the sofa but it was too late, Jade had already spotted her, groaned loudly in annoyance and turned on her heel to walk away, only for Cat to grab her arm and drag the reluctant goth inside while said goth muttered furiously under her breath. Cat pushed Jade onto the other side of the sofa from Tori, who still shrank back slightly at the look on the paler girls face before turning her attention back to the movie and stuffing herself with popcorn to drown the whirlwind of butterflies that had once again invaded her stomach.
Jade made a disgusted noise at Tori's actions and sank back into the sofa with her arms folded across her chest, glaring at the film. Cat hopped over and sat between the two girls, resting her head once again on Tori's shoulder. The brunette glanced over at Jade to see her staring daggers at Cat. She caught Tori's eye and gave her a sarcastic smirk then turned back to the tv. The movie finished with the three girls sat in total silence, save for Cat laughing loudly at anything slightly funny.
"So, what shall we watch next?" Tori asked awkwardly.
Jade
Jade took out a DVD from her bag called "The Deaths of Ian Stone" and slipped it in the player before anyone else could react. Basically it was about a guy who died a lot of times because he wasn't saving a girl or using his powers or something. Cat still found it funny.
Jade was sitting on one end of the couch and Tori was sitting on the other. Cat in between, leaning forward and animatedly expressing her feelings for the suicidal movie. Jade found herself staring at the younger Vega. Like she was metal and Jade's eyes were magnets. Utterly attracted to how much skin she showed and—-.
Whoa, whoa. Gay.
Jade shook her head and stood up, not uttering a word. Cat glanced at her and asked where she was going. Jade needed to change into her… sleeping clothes, right? So that's what she said.
She caught the faint eye of Tori Vega staring at her tensely.
She went to Cat's bathroom and changed into a black shirt, orange shorts (seriously, why does she have those?) and kept her other clothes in her overnight bag. She went to Cat's room and stored her things there and when she went back to the den, she saw Cat was splayed on the floor, watching the main protagonist dying in some sort of way. Jade moved to the couch, placing her legs on Tori's lap while she picked on something in her fingernails.
Cat
If anything, Cat hated the awkward silence. She knew Tori was still nervous about Jade's presence and the goth was probably too annoyed to start conversation, so she just.. giggled. "So, what shall we watch next?" Tori asked nervously. Before anyone could answer, Jade took out a DVD from her bag and played it without the other girls' consents.
It was a movie that Cat would definitely not watch. It was called "The Deaths of Ian Stone", a very dark and suicidal movie. Cat found it rather odd to see the protagonist die more than once. "I thought he was dead!" Cat exclaimed, pointing at the television screen in surprise. She continued blabbering about how shocked she was that the protagonist died.. and died again. But she knew neither Jade nor Tori was listening. Both were too busy shooting glances at each other to care about Cat.
When she felt Jade stand up, Cat transferred to the floor, hoping that when Jade returns, the goth will decide to sit beside the silent Latina.
Jade returned pretty quickly. It appears that she had already changed into her sleep clothes which consisted of a black tee and orange shorts. She sat down on the same space she occupied earlier, but this time she placed her feet on Tori's-to the brunette's surprise- lap.
After a few more minutes, Cat stood up and excused herself, giving the two some alone time. The redhead went upstairs to her bathroom and stayed there longer than she was supposed to.
Tori
"Cat!" Tori called weakly after the red head but she just continued skipping off to where ever she was heading.
The Latina tried to focus her attention back to the tv, but it was made difficult because Jade had taken this as her cue to fidget her legs around on Tori's lap, crossing them over one way then switching them back or else just jiggling her foot along to some random beat. Tori gulped, wanting to ignore every movement the goth made, only it was impossible for her. She busied herself with the popcorn again, even though she was far from hungry, she just wanted anything to do that could distract her from Jade and the glare she could feel she was being given.
At some point, Jades hand from it's way to Tori's knee and she started tracing circles round over the fabric of her pyjama bottoms. The brunette shivered at the contact and saw, out of the corner of her eye, Jade smirking.
"What?" Tori hissed, glancing around to see if Cat had come back yet.
Jade
"Nothing." Jade smirked, leaning in closer. "I know for a fact that Cat locks herself in the bathroom more times than you wear purple, Vega." She moved closer and expected Tori to lean in right away, but Jade pulled back, making Tori feel more uncomfortable than she already was.
"Aaand you wear a lot of purple. It's sickening, really." Jade's hands move higher and higher to Tori's thigh, but stop directly in the middle. She didn't want to violate her on Cat's couch. No, Jade was decent enough for that. Or was she? "Do you like the movie? It's a personal favorite. Except the ending though. It blows."
And there, Jade was off again from being absolutely promiscuous to the normal Jade Tori knew.
Tori
"I- I, uh…" Tori stuttered, totally caught off guard by Jade's behaviour. Jade gave a small chuckle and went back to drawing circles, only this time her hand lay on the Latina's thigh just above her own legs, making Tori's breath catch in surprise.
"W-we should go see what Cat's up too" She said, just earning another laugh from the other girl who didn't budge from her position, trapping Tori to the seat.
Tori jumped as Jades hand moved a tiny bit higher on her leg and she swatted it away quickly, blushing. The pale girl smirked.
"Look. Stop. We- You can't. You can't do anything. Cat's here, we're in her house…" Tori began to protest, swallowing a nervous lump in her throat. Jade raised an eyebrow, smirking wider. "Just- Just behave" the brunette finished lamely.
Jade
"Behave?" Jade raised a brow and let out the softest chuckle. She stood up and grabbed Tori's hand, dragging her to the Valentine's kitchen. Tori was about to ask her what she was doing but as soon as Jade switched on the coffee maker Tori didn't utter another word.
Jade served coffee to both of them and went back to their positions in the living room, only this time her sides were glued to Tori's rather than just her legs. Jade propped her legs up on the opposite side of the couch and watched Tori drink her coffee rather than Ian plunging in his own death by jumping in front of a train.
"Cat isn't as ditzy as you think she is." Jade said, taking a sip of her purely black coffee. "This movie's hilarious." Jade giggled, nudging Tori's side. The Latina was uncomfortable, but she had a cup of hot coffee in her hand as a buffer. Jade couldn't touch her or else coffee would fall on her.
"Hey, Vega? You gonna make it through the night?"
Tori
Tori sipped at her coffee as Jade laughed at the guy in the film continuiously dying. She raised an eyebrow, but didn't answer the question. Truth was, she wasn't sure if she would make it through the night with Jade here, especially if Cat stayed locked in the bathroom all night. Her mind kept flashing back to the events of earlier, causing her to blush and fidget uncomfortably and it really didn't help that the pale girl insisted on leaning on her or touching her in anyway she could.
"What do you mean 'Cat isn't as ditzy as I think she is'? Tori questioned, taking another sip of her boiling coffee so she wouldn't look over at Jade.
Jade
Jade smirked and turned to face Tori, "Can you imagine, she managed to trick both of us into coming here without the other finding out?" Jade's eyebrows moved as she spoke and her fingers were giving out gestures as well. "Pretty crafty, don't you think?" Jade rested her now empty mug on the center table and slumped back on the sofa.
Tori didn't say anything but from Jade's perspective, she was thinking of something clever to say. Whatever, Jade had all the time in the world. Just as long as Cat was locked in the bathroom, they could have their moments alone together.
And that was good, right?
Jade sighed but shifted to move up higher when Tori set her own mug down the center table. Her eyes drifted to her exposed skin again as she unconsciously licked her lips. This wasn't going to end well. Jade's obsession was acting up again, and she just needed to… touch.
Without warning, the goth grabbed Tori's right hand with her left and placed it on the space between them. Tori almost swatted her away if not for the look on her face that displayed curiosity. Jade ran her fingers through Tori's knuckles, then the back of her palm, then finally, laced them together lightly, tentatively and when Jade looked into Tori's eyes, something set them off.
Tori
"Jade" Tori whispered looking from the goths green eyes to their hands and back again. She gulped as Jade just smiled at her, waiting patiently for whatever the Latina was going to say, but she couldn't find any words. Her mind was blank and those damn butterflies were exploding in her stomach again. Why did Jade have to make her feel like this?
They sat in silence watching each other, Jade's thumb rubbing small circles over Tori's hand. The tan girl inhaled deeply, trying to keep the nerves at bay as she gave and lent forward, capturing the dark haired girls in a soft kiss, but pulled away quickly before the other could react. She shook her head a little and stared down at their clasped hand, swallowing yet another nervous lump in her throat.
Jade
Jade kept her eyes shut, maybe then when she opened her eyes she wouldn't feel anything anymore. But that wasn't the case. Life had always been unfair to Jade.
She opened her eyes slowly to see Tori licking her lips. Her free hand twitched and shook as it weaved it's way through her thick, black locks. She looked at Tori again, but the tension and the swelling pit inside her stomach was gone. She felt… solid. And that was good. When Tori's eyes met hers, Jade smiled slightly and moved the hand in her hair to Tori's chin, bringing them softly to her lips.
Jade kissed Tori's chin, then down to her jaw, then to her neck. Her hand gripped her waist tightly while the other never moved from being laced to Tori's hand. Jade felt utterly devious and decided to leave another mark on Tori's neck, very much visible to the host of this sleepover when she comes back.
Tori
Tori's eyes closed and her breathing became heavy as she felt Jade's lips run softly over her skin. She gave a small squeak of surprise when the goths teeth nipped at her neck and she sucked lightly at the skin, leaving another mark further forward than the one she had made earlier.
"J-Jade!" the Latina said quietly, nudging at the other girls shoulder. "Jade, s-stop! What if Cat sees!"
The pale girl chuckled against Tori's neck before kissing along the tan girls jaw then capturing her lips roughly. Any thought of protest was wiped from Tori's mind as she kissed back hungrily, her free hand found it's way from Jade's shoulder to wind it's way into her dark hair, bringing the goth closer. After a while they parted for air, both girls breathing heavily and looking straight into each others eyes.
Jade
"I don't— I frankly I don't—" Jade was having a hard time communicating with Tori. "God damn it, Vega." Jade whispered sharply in Tori's ear as she grabbed the Latina's shoulders and pinned her down Cat's couch.
Jade's leg dove between Tori's leg as the other made a base on the floor for balance. Her hands traveled from Tori's face to her neck and now it was making it's way up her chest. Tori squirmed beneath Jade but that only made Jade more feisty.
Tori was about to have it twice in a day. Damn.
Jade's lips moved from Tori's mouth to her jaw, then to her neck. It was all too familiar to Jade and she wanted to try something different. She hoisted up Tori's top and kissed her clavicle, her chest, the valley of her breasts, her flat stomach, and when she reached her waist, she glanced up Tori's direction and planted a soft kiss over her wet center. Over the pyjamas, of course.
Tori looked scared, which was why Jade's lips moved to meet hers again. Softly, languidly, passionately. Jade urged a moan out of her system, earning a smile from Tori, who laced their hands together in spite all of the of the roughness going on.
Tori
Tori knew they shouldn't be doing this, not again, not twice in one day and certainly not in Cat's house on Cat's sofa with Cat locked in the bathroom, able to walk in at any second. She was about to protest just as Jade's lips pressed themselves softly to her own, making the young Vega smile and forget what she wanted to say.
Tori's right hand found it's way back to Jade's left, lacing their fingers together again while the other travelled up to play with the hem of Jade's black t-shirt. She didn't move her hand any further for a moment, remembering how the goth had swatted her away angrily last time they were in this situation. Jade removed her lips from Tori's and ran her tongue over her jaw, moving up to her ear where she nipped at the lobe before sucking it lightly, causing the Latina to gasp. Her hand ventured underneath Jade's shirt and she dug her nails into the pale skin, hearing the dark haired girl moan quietly into her ear.
"We…we can't do this" Tori murmured in a hushed voice, closing her eyes and turning her head to the right, allowing Jade more access to the tan skin of her neck. "We've…we've got to…got to s-stop…" She trailed off and felt Jade smirk before sucking more harshly at the mark she'd made on Tori.
Jade
"If that's what you want," Jade agreed, disconnecting her mouth from Tori's and dropping the girl flat out on the couch. "I think you can have your way once in a while." Jade wiped the saliva off her face with the back of her hand. She could still taste Tori's skin on the tip of her tongue and it was the sweetest thing she's ever tasted.
Tori moved up, confused as to why Jade did as told. The paler girl moved to face her and smiled in a faux manner. "What?" Tori raised an eyebrow at Jade's question. "Isn't this what you want?" Jade smiled. Tori sat up straight, covered her stomach with her arms and rested on the couch, Jade watched her in a possessive manner and began trailing her fingers on Tori's arms again.
"You know I don't get you alone often." Jade smirked. "I was thinking we make the most of what we have."
Tori
Tori shuddered at Jade's delicate touch and let out a heavy sigh as she glanced in the direction of the bathroom to see if they was any sign of Cat making an appearance. When she confirmed that the coast was clear, she took the hand that was wandering over her arm and wrapped her fingers around Jades wrist, tugging the other girl closer until their lips met once again.
Jade smirked into the kiss which, in turn, made Tori smile to herself. She nervously removed her mouth from the pale girls and began trailing kisses down her jaw in a similar manner to what Jade had done to her. She reached a sensitive spot just below the goths ear and sucked lightly at the skin, copying the movements Jade had used earlier and earned a small moan from the girl.
The Latina drew back to look at Jade, who's eyes fluttered open at the loss of contact, making Tori gulp her nerves down again.
Jade
"Getting a little bossy… are we Vega?" Jade said proudly. She stood up and straddled Tori's hips, pushing away strands of her hair behind her ears. She proceeded to cup her face with both hands and ran her thumbs on her widely known cheekbones. Jade's eyes were clouded, she was transfixed in Tori's eyes and she was going to drown in them if someone didn't fish her out soon.
Jade whispered, "I love looking at you. Your face." Her index finger made a line on Tori's eyebrows, then the her eyelids, the bridge of her nose, her lips. Jade snapped back to reality with a cough. She gripped on Tori's neck roughly and kissed her again. Just when she almost showed emotion, she closed herself up because she was slipping through the cracks.
Cracks in which no one would catch her if she fell through entirely.
She felt Tori's arms snake around her waist, urging her closer. She only hoped that Cat did lock herself in the bathroom this time because she had no intentions of stopping until Tori's lips fell off her face.
Tori
Tori moaned against Jade's mouth, forgetting all about her anxiety over the situation as she ran her tongue confidently over the goths bottom lip asking for entrance, which Jade more than willingly allowed. Their tongues battled for dominance; the brunette lifted herself up slightly to bring herself closer while her hands slipped under Jade's black shirt, her fingers resting on the bare skin of the dark haired girls hips.
They both pulled away for air, resting their foreheads together while Tori took in every detail of the pale girls face, from her striking green eyes, the two small pieces of metal that pierced her eyebrow and nose, to the soft lips that had previously been attached to hers.
The Latina planted small kisses over Jade's lips, chin and neck while she tugged the black shirt up a little at a time, trying to removed the offending garment from the other girls body, hoping said girl wouldn't stop her actions.
Jade
Jade was surprised at Tori's assertiveness. She definitely has to see this more often. She let the younger Vega take off her shirt to reveal her black lace bra. Jade smiled as she wrapped her arms around Tori's neck even tighter than it already was, but she had to release it again when she wanted Tori just as naked as she was.
"Just exactly where are you going with this?" Jade seethed, biting down hard on Tori's shoulder after, causing the Latina to scream. Jade's nails dug on her back hard as her fingers made their way to the hooks of her bra. "Tell me," She panted on Tori's ear. That sick heat in her stomach was starting to grow again and this time Jade didn't want to stop it.
Tori
Tori screwed her eyes shut and buried her face into the crook of Jade's neck, hoping to muffle any noise she made as the pale girl bit at her skin and scratched trails in her back; the last thing she wanted as for Cat to hear anything and coming running to see what the problem was, needless to say, it would be more than awkward.
She avoided the goths question by sinking her own teeth into the skin between the girls neck and shoulder, gaining a sharp gasp from her and feeling the black painted finger nails dig deeper into her as they teased at her bra strap; Jade was evidently still waiting for an answer and it seemed she refused to go any further until she got one.
"I don't know" Tori mumbled, bringing her mouth back to Jade's and kissing her hungrily. "Just don't stop"
Jade
Jade growled at the sound of Tori's voice. She would easily come off with it, she thought. But since she had the real thing, why dwell on things that could be?
Tori's kisses grew noticeably fiercer and more passionate, and Jade had to control this situation. Jade stood up and pinned Tori down on the couch again, only this time her back made contact with the sofa's cushioning. Now Jade was in command again. Jade had to be followed.
She never did get Tori's bra off but she did make a compromise, her right hand slipped under Tori's bra while Jade's tongue ran through the valley of her breasts once again, her belly button, and once at the center of her waist and hips, Jade's free hand grabbed the garter of Tori's pyjamas and let pulled it down harshly. Tori was screaming for it, and it was evident since her underwear was soaked. Jade smiled menacingly.
"Do I make you this wet, Vega?" Obviously, Jade. "Do I?"
Tori
Tori made a noise somewhere between a moan and a groan in response. She grabbed a hold of Jade's shoulders and brought their lips crashing together in a heated kiss, then let her own finger nails trail down the pale girls back to the strap of her bra. Her fingers fumbled over the hooks until they finally came apart with a ping, making Tori smirk against Jade's mouth before the other girl moved away slightly, arching an eyebrow in curiosity at what the Latina's next move could be.
Tori bit her lip unsurely as Jade looked into her eyes, dareing her to continue. The brunette swallowed quietly earning an amused laugh from the goth.
"Something funny, West?" Tori growled, suddenly feeling confident as she took one to the girls breasts in her left hand, rubbing her thumb slowly over her sensitive nipple while her mouth transferred itself back to Jade's neck, biting and sucking at the pale skin, causing the girl pinning her to the couch to gasp sharply at every touch. Tori grinned, enjoying being in control for a short while, because she knew it wouldn't last long when it came to Jade. She lead her mouth over Jades shoulder, kissing all the way down until she reached the girls other nipple, which she began sucking lightly, feeling Jade's fingers dig almost painfully into her skin at the contact.
Jade
"You can't—- Ugh, Vega you can't—-" Jade had tears of pain and pleasure coming out of her eyes. Jade was running out of breath, so she had to do this quick. Besides, she can't always have sex when Tori's around. Or can she?
She'll probably have her way one way or another.
Jade dug her hands in Tori's center roughly and vigorously. Her tongue was moving from places in Tori's body and the air was getting sickly salty with sweat and the wetness from both girls. Jade was lucky, but in her opinion, Tori was even luckier.
After about twenty minutes of sucking, writhing, biting, panting, and all other rough words ending in -ing. Jade fell on top of Tori, breathless. The Latina was drawing circles in her bare back and Jade found it comforting. It was peaceful. The movie ended minutes ago and they were simply watching the ending credits roll.
"Vega?" Jade said vulnerably. Softly. For the first time, it was.. a different Jade.
Tori
"hmm?"
The brunette turned to softly kiss the girls temple. They lay together, Jade's head resting on the Latina's chest while Tori's arms were draped over her back, her fingers tracing patterns into the smooth skin, occasionally following a thin red line she'd made with her finger nails. Tori was smiling contently to herself, lazily watching the names on the tv screen scroll past although her mind was too clouded and her eyes were too heavy with exhaustion to take in anything.
When Jade made no response, Tori shifted slightly to look into the goths green eyes, furrowing her brow in question.
"What's up?" She murmured.
Jade
"Why?" Jade said, more of a statement than a question. "Why do you let me do this to you?" Jade shifted, moving both arms so they crossed over Tori's chest. She rested her head on them, bawling at the sight of her… friend's bare chest.
"I don't get it." She restated. She remembered the first time she'd uttered those words to the same person. The difference was, that time, there was no… sexual obligations or tense and heated stares (well maybe there was that) but that time, what Jade didn't get was why Tori was taking all the heat and all the blame just so she wouldn't have her ass kicked by the school.
That's probably the time Jade's obsession started kicking in. The time she dropped her bag on a chair in a really messed up Black Box Theater. Food everywhere, a lazy security guard playing games on his phone, and one persistent little Tori Vega cleaning up the huge mess just so she could save Jade's ass.
Now, what Jade didn't get was why Tori was all right with this. They were going to talk about it. Now.
Tori
Tori stared unseeing over Jade's head, her finger that had been lazily drawing on the girls skin stilled as the young Vega thought over the question in her mind. Jade had a good point, why wasshe doing this? They were meant to hate each other, right? It was known throughout Hollywood Arts, their infamous rivalry, Jade constantly trying to better Tori or else get revenge and visa versa. But here they both were, snuggled up half naked on Cat's sofa and, for some reason that Tori could not put her finger on, everything about the situation they were currently in felt right.
"I don't get it either" She concluded, glancing down to see Jade looking up at her, her head tilted slightly to one side as she waited patiently for the Latina's answer.
"I- I have no idea what's going on any more" Tori admitted with a slight chuckle. She smiled and ran a hand through her hair, trying to think of something to say. "But, I like it. I like being with you. That sounds weird, doesn't it? I mean, we're not even meant to be friends, everyone knows that, but, I dunno."
She cut herself off to stop rambling and sighed. She knew she sounded stupid, but she wanted an answer just as much a Jade did, trouble was, Tori couldn't find one. Not yet, anyway.
Jade
"That's what everyone thinks, and frankly I don't care about them." Jade scooted closer, smiling and halfway leaning into Tori's lips, "I'm not supposed to care. At all. About anything." She whispered, "Just myself," now her upper lip was connected to Tori's lower lip. Softly, slowly, she whispered again, "maybe sometimes a romantic partner," Jade's lips moved up and their upper lips and lower lips met. She darted her tongue slowly into Tori's and the Latina moved a hand up to weave in Jade's hair.
Jade broke away quickly, she wasn't done speaking. "but that's all." Her aura of sweet silence was replaced with thick tension as the look in her eyes changed from soft to hard. Like freezing. Tori tensed immediately beneath her. She knew what came next.
Swiftly, Jade bit down hard on Tori's neck. It's a good thing the paler girl was able to cover her mouth with her hand because Tori couldn't control the surprise pain.
Tori
"Jade!" Tori's protest was muffled by the other girls hand.
Jade pulled away from her neck, wearing her trademark smug smirk which only made Tori roll her eyes. Her hand left the Latina's mouth, her fingers linger on her lips before moving fully away to rest on her shoulder. She made another attempt to bite the tan girls neck, but Tori squirmed out of the way quickly, laying a finger over the goths lips to stop her.
"Can't we… can't we just lie here?" She asked quietly, stifling a yawn that was threatening to break through. She felt Jade's breath huff against her skin and she smiled playfully.
"Grumpy" Tori giggled, nudging Jade's arm lightly. She laced their fingers together again and brought the paler girls hand to her lips, kissing it softly.
Jade
Jade's heart dropped at the gesture. Why did Tori keep doing that? That thing that made her heart skip a beat? That thing that satisfied her obsession up to next week? She let out a sound that was more of a grunt and hiss combined but buried her face in the crook of Tori's neck. She pressed her lips lightly on tan skin and for the first time, Tori didn't jump or shake or jitter. In fact, she leaned closer so Jade's face buried deeper.
Jade took in the sweet smell of Tori's skin. Yes, aside from the salty, sweaty air they've caused, Jade loved Tori's scent. It was like fresh berries on a beautiful Sunday morning. Jade was drawn to it from the moment she had a whif of her and that was probably another factor.
She was going to get down to the bottom of this obsession of hers and she was going to drag Tori along. Whether she came willingly or not. "You're something else, aren't you, Vega?" Jade smiled.
Tori
"Am I?" The Latina said with a laugh.
She reached out with her free hand to tuck a stray strand of Jade's hair behind her ear, seeing the green eyes follow her movement before turning their attention back to the brunettes face; Jades smile seemed to twitch a little bigger. Tori sighed and licked her lips, unsure if she really wanted to hear the possble answer to the question that was eating away at her since Jade had questioned her.
"What about you, Jade?" She asked as nonchalantly as possible, taking her fingers away from the pale girls ear and letting the tips brush against her cheek. "Why are you doing this?"
Jade
Jade didn't know the answer to that. All she knew was that she was utterly happy and content in a void mess this was. But she knew that this wouldn't and couldn't last forever. Not while Beck's in the picture and most certainly not because she's a full and certified heterosexual.
Jade purred and rubbed her face on Tori's neck. She decided that with little action, maybe Tori would let the question slide for another day. It was too early to talk about things like this. She knew that. Tori knew that.
She felt fatigue wash over her as her eyes began to drop heavily on her face. She was half naked and when Cat comes out she'd see. Not like it would matter because Cat's… Cat, and all she wants is for everyone to be happy. "I'd love to tell you my 10-step plan, but not now Vega." She yawned and pressed her lips above Tori's right breast. It was a cynical joke, really, but when Tori laughed and pressed her lips on Tori's forehead, it was like a sign to drift off for only a moment.
Stillness, calm, quiet. Things Jade never really felt before. She doesn't want to wake up to a reality without this, but she won't ever admit it to anyone but herself.
Tori
Tori buried her face into Jade's hair, breathing her scent in deeply and smiling to herself. This felt strangly good, just lying on the couch snuggled up with Jade. Jade, of all the people Tori ever imagined sharing a moment like this with, it certainly wasn't the pale goth who had made it her job to make Tori's life as difficult as possible. She was still trying to figure out the big mess of feelings that buzzed around her head and heart, but, for now, she thought she could live like this. Just for now.
She beamed at the girl who was now dozing peacefully on top of her. Suddenly, there was a noise, like something being dropped, that startled Tori, making her more aware of her surroundings. They were still in Cat's house, on Cat's couch, with the red haired girl locked away in the bathroom, and she had been there for a while.
"Jade" The Latina murmured softly into the dark haired girls ear, shaking her a little to wake her. "Jade, wake up. We need to get dressed in case Cat comes back in."
Jade
"No, I want to sleep." Jade spat with much venom, grazing Tori's skin after. She loved doing that. No, no she didn't. "Don't you dare move, Vega." Jade snapped, her head falling down on Tori's chest again after.
After a while, Tori shifted again and managed to get out of Jade's grasp. She quickly put on her clothes. Top first, and as she was putting on her pyjama bottoms, Jade stared right at her. Tori caught the paler girl's gaze and soon enough, Jade moved her eyes away.
She was ogling Tori Vega and that was never a good sign.
To make matters worse, the younger Vega found some pleasure in Jade's attention. She slid up her pants slowly when Jade finally looked back and Jade couldn't help but lick her lips and swallow whatever it is she'd build up in her mouth.
Jade grabbed Tori's wrist when she was done dressing up— it was an inside joke, really— and kissed her passionately, with all the tenderness in the world. Jade didn't know she had it in her, but apparently she did.
Tori
"I thought you wanted to sleep" Tori teased when they pulled away for breath.
She snaked her free arm around the paler girls waist to bring her closer simultaneously reattaching their lips and kissing the other girl with as much passion as Jade had put into the last. There was something about this side of Jade that made all of the Latina's thoughts shut off until she became putty in the goths hands, which she knew was probably a very dangerous move, but she just couldn't help it.
"Get dressed" Tori said once her mouth was free again. Jade tried to lean forward to continue, but the brunette ducked out of the way, picking up Jade's abandoned clothing and tossing the items over to her.
Tori turned around, snatching the empty dvd box from the floor and proceeding towards the tv, all the while feeling a pair of green eyes watching her every move. She removed the disc from the player and stood up to place the box onto of the television, catching the other girls reflection in the screen to see Jade just stood there staring at her and holding loosely to her clothes.
"Need a hand, there?" The Latina asked, turning around to smirk at the goth.
Jade
"Shut up." Jade said jokingly, she tried to put her top on but she was too exhausted and too sleepy to get a coherent action from brain to muscle. She let out a grunt and figured that this was hopeless and useless and lay back down on Cat's couch.
Which was really wet, by the way.
"Why do you care?" Jade's voice was muffled by her head pressing down on a pillow. "Cat's gonna come out and think you wanted to rape me and that's gonna be a more plausible story." Jade faced Tori and smiled. That plan was something on the top of her head and she couldn't stop smiling at how flawlessly she would be able to execute it. Tori rolled her eyes at how immature Jade was an approached the paler girl.
Tori
"Yeah, like Cat's going to believe that" Tori replied, but glancing towards the bathroom door just in case their small friend choose this very moment to make an appearence. She sat herself down on the end of the couch by Jade's feet and picked up the tv remote to flick through the channels, not really paying attention to what was on the screen.
"But, by all means, stay like that" She added, resting her arm on Jade's ankle and drawing small circles on her leg. "I'll just tell Cat that you went crazy and started stripping or something. And, I'm not complaining." She finished with a cheeky smile, earning a groan from the pale girl and her hand being swatted away.
Tori laughed and continued her search for something to watch, but her eyes kept wandering back to the girl lying next to her who was still only wearing those orange shorts. The Latina tore her eyes away quickly, feeling a blush creep onto her face.
Jade
"Cat's going to believe whatever I tell her." Jade said, sitting up straight. She put on her shirt just so she wouldn't give Tori what she wanted. The girl next to her raised a brow at her, challenging Jade's statement.
"It's true." Tori laughed and Jade smiled at the sound. It was like angels ringing a bell and….
It wasn't time for her to think about what she liked about Tori Vega.
"I'm hungry." Jade stated. "Did Cat set out anything to eat?" By this, Jade was halfway to the kitchen while Tori's eyes trailed her. There was nothing, Jade knew it. She rolled her eyes and walked to the far end of the den to grab a cordless phone. It was eerie how Jade was so familiar with the Valentine house.
Tori looked at her with a question written on her face. Jade shrugged, "What?" and began dialing a pizza company.
Tori
Tori watched Jade wander around the house with ease, finding everything she wanted easily like the place was her own. She knew that Jade and Cat had been friends for a couple of years before she'd met them, so the goth had probably been to the little red heads house quite a few times. The Latina felt a small stab of jealously at these thoughts which she promptly tried to ignore.
"Shouldn't we wait for Cat?" She asked, gesturing to the left and turning to look at the bathroom door in concern. "She's been in there ages. Do you think she's okay?"
Tori felt guilty. This was the second time the three girls had met up in the past few days, and the second time she and Jade had left Cat alone while they were too busy with each other to notice. They were in the girls house, as well. The brunette turned back to the pale girl raising an eyebrow in question and opening her mouth to ask again, but Jade shh'ed her quickly and began ordering the pizzas.
Jade
"She's fine." Jade threw the cordless phone on the couch after ordering two pizzas and proceeded to bite her fingernails. Something was on her mind but she couldn't quite pick on it.
"Go check then, if you're so worried." Jade's voice was dismissive as she went to the kitchen and made herself another round of coffee. Jade knew Cat's parents. They loved her, and Jade thought they were bearable enough. There was just something odd about her brother that she couldn't quite explain again.
Let's face it, Tori Vega was messing with her mind.
So what was she now? Was she gay? Was she bi-curious? All she knew was that she was cheating on her boyfriend and that didn't seem to bother her in the slightest. Stupid. Now, Tori was out there acting so in love with her and she couldn't even understand why. She sighed, pulling out a stool and setting her mug on the counter.
She needed this alone time, yes, but knowing Tori, she'd be marching right in in a couple of seconds.
Tori
Tori shifted in her seat. She really should go to check on Cat to make sure she was okay, but something, that the Latina just couldn't explain, was drawing her to Jade, almost screaming at her to pull up a stool next to the pale girl who looked like she had something on her mind.
Tori stayed where she was for a while, staring unseeing at the tv screen- God only knows what show was playing- while she tried to unscramble all of the thoughts that were running amok around her head. What was this? She tried to figure it out, playing back the key events in her mind. First, Jade had taken her to the carnival as some sort of payment for everything Tori had done for her. While they were there, they'd spent all of their time together; Jade had practically hugged her on the beach at one point, then they ended up at the carnival where Jade had first kissed her.
That's where everything got complicated. It had only been a couple of day since then, but they'd kissed a lot after that. And they'd- Tori blushed at the thought- done it, twice, in one day. But Jade was still with Beck and Tori knew she should feel bad for doing this with him in the picture, especially when most people thought that it was him she fancied, but everything was feeling too good and too right for her to stop.
And she didn't even want to get started on her sexuality, she was too tired to think about that at the moment. Not that it had ever really bothered her enough to think about it before.
Tori lifted herself from the sofa and let her feet carry her in the direction of the kitchen where she helped herself to a coffee and sat at the counter beside Jade, not saying a word, just staring into space, deep in thought.
Jade
"Would you leave me alone for a second, Vega?" Jade spat out, not really meaning it. "Jesus." She whispered under her breath.
Tori had questions. Yes. Questions Jade tried to hard to avoid. But knowing Tori, she was a persistent creature. Jade wrapped her hands around the coffee mug and stared into the darkness.
Tori didn't budge. She simply propped her elbow and rested her cheek on her palm. Jade ignored her, thinking about what Beck would think. Thinking about what everyone would think, for that matter, even Sinjin.
She rolled her eyes at how she was slipping through the cracks. She was losing it and it was because of Tori. Tori freaking Vega. She was having a headache and she rubbed her temples with both hands. "I don't understand what I'm feeling. Or what you're feeling," She began.
"But I swear, months ago I felt nothing but absolute distaste for you."
It was killing her inside. What was this sick feeling she had whenever Tori was around? What was it? She knew, but she'd never acknowledge it.
Tori
"I didn't like you much either" Tori shrugged, standing up and moving away from the counter to collapse onto the sofa, giving Jade the space she so desired.
Tori sighed for what felt like the millionth time that day. She placed her mug in the middle of the coffee table by the couch and looked over at Jade, who was still gripping her own mug with both hands, staring out across the room. The brunette rested her head in her hands, running her fingers through her hair in frustration. Everything was happening so fast in such a short space of time with the one person she'd never in her wildest dreams have thought all this would happen with. Couldn't it be Andre? Hell, if she had a choice, she'd even take Robbie over Jade, maybe even Sinjin! but that was who part of her- was it her heart?- was screaming out for, ever since that kiss at the carnival.
"Why can't this be simple?" Tori said into her hands, more to herself than anyone else. She heard Jade give a short laugh from the kitchen.
Tonight was meant to help her forget everything that was going on, or at least put off dealing with it for a short while, but it had done a total flip and landed butter side down, now covered in fluff and bits of crumbs and stuff. Tori's stomach gave a rumble at the toast comparison, but she really didn't feel very hungry any more. She fell back into the cushions, grabbing the tv remote to turn what ever show was on up louder.
Jade
Jade laughed at Tori's question. Pathetic, really. Things weren't simple, they never were, and in time, they still won't be. She sighed. She was getting hungry and Cat was nowhere to be found. She wouldn't be surprised if she went to the bathroom to find that she's disappeared or something.
The doorbell rang. She looked at Tori, then at the door. "It must be the pizza." Jade said, Tori agreed. She sat up straight and grabbed her purse while Jade went to Cat's room to grab her money from her overnight bag.
When she came down she saw Tori flirting with the pizza delivery guy. It caused a fire in the pit of her stomach to start. It was like a wildfire: totally out of nowhere and it's cause is unknown. She pursed her lips in a straight line and stormed down the steps.
She pushed the younger Vega aside slightly and Tori covered her arm with her hand as if burned. "How much is it?" Jade spat at the pizza delivery guy.
He was probably in college. He had that lazed, given up look in his eyes and scruff and a stupid goatee. "Chillax," He said in a voice that reminded Jade of Beck. "It's $37.20, but I'm giving it $30 for your friend here." He smiled at Tori and handed the boxes to Jade.
"No, We're paying the full." Jade slapped a full forty in the guys hand, not expecting change. "Keep it, now scram." Jade shoved him out the porch and slammed the door in his face. "I can't believe that guy."
Tori
"See you then!" Tori called after the pizza guy before spinning on her heel to face Jade. "What was that about! He was just about to give us cheaper pizza and you shove him out the door?" She shook her head when Jade just shrugged, popping open a box and helping herself to a slice.
Tori snatched a piece up herself and decided to sit in the armchair closest to the tv, and furthest away from Jade who had now taken the couch. She huffed and took a bite, just for something to do, and the two girls sat in silence for a while, both lost in their own thoughts. However, the Latina was restless. She fidgeted around in her seat, crossing and uncrossing her legs, sinking back into the seat then leaning forward again, she just couldn't get comfortable, there was a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach that she didn't want to face right now, but it was trying to break free.
"Where is Cat!" the youngest Vega asked suddenly, abandoning her half eaten pizza on the table next to her empty mug. "It's her house, her sleepover. Why's she not here?"
Tori wasn't angry at the girl, not at all. She was just annoyed at the situation. If Cat had stuck around, none of this would've happened, and the three girls would probably be in the middle of a pillow fight or watching some silly film while eating tons of sweets, rather than just her and Jade, sat in the den and desperately trying to avoid what ever they were feeling, while at the same time, search for an answer.
Jade
Jade grabbed a slice to herself and began eating beside her. It was getting really late, perfect. "Did you want to watch another movie?" Tori shook her head furiously once Jade suggested the idea. Jade smiled, no one really understood what these foreign films about death, darkness or art meant. She laughed at their ignorance.
"Fine, I see your stash there, plug one in." Jade rolled her eyes and sat on the floor. Maybe then she wouldn't be tempted to creep on Tori's legs once more. Tori stood up in compliance and chose a DVD.
"So, what we watching?" Jade asked, pizza in her mouth.
Tori
Tori scooted back to the armchair and hit the play button on the dvd remote.
"Beauty and the Beast" She responded and noticed Jade raise an eyebrow at her.
"It's my favourite!" Tori defended, grabbing a cushion and hugging it close to her chest. "Besides, I thought Cat would like it too, and I didn't know you were coming, so…"
She trailed off. In truth, she just thought that watching her favourite film would cheer her up. She fast forwarded through the movie trailers while leaning over to reach for her bag and take out a packet of jelly babies she'd brought with her. The film started and Tori began stuffing herself with the sweets and concentrate on the story, but it was hard to feel any better when the cause of the discomfort sat in the very same room as you, their eyes burning holes into the back of your head.
"Sweet?" Tori offered, trusting the packet in Jade's general direction, not taking her eyes from the screen because, at the moment, she didn't want to face the girl.
Jade
"It gives me a rash." Jade said, not looking at the Vega girl either.
It was ironic really, the film. Beauty and the Beast. The first thing she thought of once she saw Tori put this forsaken movie was how it mirrored the people who were actually watching it at the very moment.
Halfway, Jade remembered why she hated flowers. They were signs of growth and beauty, but in the film it was a sign of time you lose. Time before you're permanently a monster. Time. Lost. Losing.
Jade doesn't know why she's so invested in the film because the next thought that comes to her mind is Tori's crying because the Beast was dying in Belle's arms. Some invisible force must've possessed her because the next thing she knows is she's on the couch, ready to touch Tori in the most gentle of ways, just to stop her crying.
But she doesn't. "Man up, Vega."
Tori
"Shut up" Tori said into her cushion, wiping away the tears streaming down her face. She'd tried not to cry at the film, especially not in front of Jade, but she just couldn't help it, it made her tear up every time.
The credits started scrolling up the screen; Tori yawned as she lazily felt around for the control that had slipping from its place on the arm of the chair at some point during the movie. She finally found it stuffed down the back of the seat, along with a couple of Jelly Babies she'd dropped and a lollipop covered in fluff that the Latina quickly dropped in disgust. She fumbled around with the buttons until she hit stop and the dvd player switched off, turning back to the television and some reality show that reminded Tori of The Wood.
"I'm sleepy" The youngest Vega announced, stuggling into her cushion and closing her eyes.
Jade
"Go to bed, then." Jade said rather sharply. She stood up her eyes rolling back and forth, heading up to Cat's room. She heard Tori yell to wait up or something but the goth simply ignored her and proceeded on walking upstairs.
"Cat? Where the freak are you?" Jade yelled before reaching the last steps upstairs. She didn't know whether the ditzy redhead disappeared in the bathroom upstairs or the one downstairs.
For all Jade knows, said redhead could be in Freezie Queen right now. Or the carnival. Or the beach. Jade didn't know. She shrugged, going through each room to search for Cat. "Caaaaat!" She called, as if searching for a small feline.
Tori caught up with Jade after a while, thus why when Jade stood up from searching under Cat's brother's bed she bumped into said Latina. "God damn it, Vega. Can't you watch where you're going?"
Tori
"Ow!" Tori whined, stumbling back from Jade and falling back onto the bed they'd been searching under.
She was tired, and she had a headache, and she really didn't want to be running around the unfamiliar house searching for a little red head who happened to be one of the few who actually lived in said house. She covered her mouth as she yawned widely and switched her attention back to Jade, who was now looking in the wardrobe for their friend.
"She's probably fallen asleep somewhere" Tori suggested sleepily. She lay back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. "It's weird that she's just vanished like that, though. Maybe she's forgotten we're here. Wouldn't surprise me if she did, to be honest"
Jade
"Whoa, what are you doing?" Jade extended a hand at Tori when she saw the girl lying on Cat's brother's bed. "Look, I know you're tired but you can't sleep in here!" Jade threw her hands in the air with a disgusted look on her face. Her hands made their way to her hips after.
"Vega, are you listening to me?" Jade asked, her head propped forward. "Vega?" Tori wasn't moving, and when she did she just shifted deeper in her slumber. Jade rolled her eyes, one hand on her hip. She moved closer to the girl and stopped once towered above her. She stared at the half-sleeping figure beneath her and smiled. She didn't know why or how but she did. One hand crept slowly to her face and brushed her cheeks lightly.
And on the other hand, she pulled the sheets so Tori came flopping down. "Move your ass, Vega."
Tori
The Latina tumbled to the floor with an "Oof!". She glared up at Jade from her place on the floor before pulling herself to her feet, holding onto the bed for support.
"Ow!" Tori cried at the goth, before shoving past her and out of the room. "Fine. Lets find Cat so we can go to sleep, yeah?"
"CAT!" She yelled as she stumbled around the house, wondering where on Earth the girl could've gotten to. "CAT!"
Tori wandered back into the den, half hoping to find Cat had returned to the sleepover and was sat on the sofa watching another film and eating all the popcorn, but no such luck. The brunette threw herself back into the chair in annoyance, closing her eyes for a few moments. She opened them again to see Jade walk into the room, still searching for the other girl.
"She'll turn up" Tori mumbled with a shrug.
Cat
Cat planned to "fall asleep" in her bathroom so she could give the two some alone time. She knew things would happen, based on what she had seen during the carnival. What's the worst thing that could happen? It was unlikely for Jade and Tori to start killing each other anyway so she just stayed in the bathroom. But after five minutes, Cat felt like boredom would eat her out, tempting her to join the other two outside.
The redhead stood and opened her bathroom drawer. It contained a hair-dryer, some combs, a pad of paper, a pen, and numerous hair elastics. Sighing, she closed it and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was red as ever, one side pinned away from her face. She was playing with her hair when an idea to relieve her of boredom struck her. She opened her drawer again and pulled out a comb and all the hair elastics there was. She scattered them on the bathroom counter and began braiding her hair.
"CAT!" The redhead heard. Jade and Tori started looking for her. She hurried braiding her hair. So far, 3/4 of her hair has been braided thinly. She chuckled to herself, humming at how she looked. "Cat!" The voices outside called. Just a little longer…
After 10 minutes, Cat finished with her hair. She admired herself and laughed before opening the bathroom door. The two had stopped looking for her, leaving the house a little quiet. She descended the stairs and saw her guests watching another movie. "Oh I love Beauty and the Beast!" Cat squealed, clapping on the last stair.
Jade
Jade heard Cat's ecstatic screams of her adoration from downstairs. The goth quickly ran downstairs to see Cat plugging in the movie she and Tori have already seen. "Jesus Christ, Cat. Where'd you hide?"
The redhead giggled and jumped up to meet Jade whose eyes were growing larger in anger. "Well, you better eat something. We saved you some pizza." She rolled her eyes and lazily walked to the couch and sat. "Now where's Vega?" Jade said, accompanied by a yawn after. She stretched her arms wide and her bones cracked when she stretched her neck.
Water formed from her tear ducts due to her yawning which Cat misinterpreted as Jade crying as The Walt Disney logo came on. Cat tried to touch Jade in a friendly manner but Jade shook her off in disgust. Well, in repulsion. Or something like that. "Jeez, Cat." Jade rolled her eyes, attempting to watch the movie she just saw minutes ago again.
Tori
Tori's eyes flickered open to find the room she had ended up in during the search for Cat was empty. She stretched, yawned widely and attempted to get out of her chair, only to trip over her pyjama bottoms and fall flat on her face.
"Ouch" The Vega girl grumbled, rubbing her cheek and stumbling downstairs to find Cat and Jade back in front of the television with Beauty and the Beast playing once again on the screen.
"Cat!" Tori smiled at her friend, collapsing next to her and giving her a quick hug. "Where've you been! We've been looking all over for you!"
She stifled a yawn and rested her head drowsily on Cat's shoulder. The Latina grinned lazily up at Jade before focusing her attention on the film they'd already watched, but she definitely wasn't going to complain.
Cat
"It's so scary." Cat murmured to herself, covering her eyes with her hands. Cat could feel Tori's steady breathing the same way she could feel Jade's glare from the other side of the couch. She ignored this and just continued watching, occasionally commenting on the movie.
After the credits, Cat's vision went blurry. She yawned and stretched her arms. "Let's go to sleep you guys." But as she looked at her guests, she saw that they had already fallen asleep on the couch in rather awkward positions. Tori was leaning on Cat and Jade was using the armchair for support. Cat decided not to wake them. She just placed a pillow on their necks and draped a blanket around the two. She then switched the lights off in the den and went to her room where she slept alone.
