Chapter 9 Hungry Like the Wolf
The brunch was hard to get through. After leaving the restroom, Jade found Tori waiting for her with a smile plastered on her face. "So was I any good?" she asked Jade when she walked up to her. "Just think what the real thing would be like…oh, that would be fun. Us in bed, me scratching my nails down your back, calling your name as I…oh, look, there's my parents." Tori leaned in and kissed Jade on her very red cheek.
Jade stood watching Tori walk off to the table. "Damn it, Vega…this can only be hell." She shook her head in frustration as she walked to the table.
Jade ate in almost complete silence, only answering when spoken to and then only in short answers. She wanted to get Tori home and get her into bed.
After they ate, they went to the mall. Jade thought she was safe here. Her plans involved Trina and Tori to be off at some trendy store and she could lose herself at Hot Topics. Jade found out very quickly that Tori had other ideas for her and that the mall would become her living hell.
Before she could slip away, Tori snagged her arm and pulled her into a brightly lit store that made her wish herself back into the hospital. The store was too bright, and the clothes were all pastels and, ugh, cute. She was feeling sick just being around all these clothes then Tori did the one thing that almost threw her into shock.
"Jade, I want to try this on." Tori showed her this very loud yellow outfit that made her want to slice her wrists. She looked down, so much cheeriness was not good for her. Tori took a step closer, waving the shirt under Jade's nose. "Come into the dressing room with me? And help me…try it on." Jade shot her head up so fast she was surprised it didn't fall off. She then looked around to see if Trina or Holly was around. Not seeing them anywhere, Jade grabbed Tori by the arm and pulled her to the dressing rooms.
"Hello, how are we today?" a very lively young lady asked as Jade pulled them up to her counter. "Oh, that's cute," she said, gesturing to the outfit. "Would you like me to start a room for you today?"
"Yeah, sure, start a room and she can get naked!" Jade all but yelled at the perky sales girl, an intense smile playing across her ruby lips.
The attendant just blinked once, and bubbled, "Yes, right away! Please follow me." She quickly flounced down the short door-lined hallway, escorting Jade and Tori to their dressing room. "Just call if you need help," the perky sales girl said as she quickly moved away from the dressing rooms.
Tori smiled at Jade as she pulled the pale girl into the room. After closing the door behind her, her thumb mashing down the button lock, Jade took in the room. It was on the large size and very private. On the back wall, there was a couch that looked very soft and inviting. Sinking into the couch, Jade turned to look at Tori, who stood in front of three large mirrors that gave a perfect view of Tori's body. Jade leaned back and watched as Tori started to remove her clothes, starting with her top. Tori watched Jade in the mirror as Jade slowly swallowed, her eyes widening as Tori ran her hand through her hair, dropping her head back with her mouth slightly opened. Looking back to the mirror, she ran her fingers down her neck to the middle of her breasts, Tori heard Jade catch her breath before it became slightly faster. Tori then ran her hand slowly to the top of her skirt, reaching for the zipper and pulling it down slowly. Tori looked at Jade over her shoulder, licking her lips erotically as she let her skirt fall to the floor. She walked over to Jade and sat on her lap, facing the mirror. Sliding back into Jade, she let her legs open. She bent over, running her hand down her leg to her boot and unzipping it. Tori brought her leg up, leaning her head back on to Jade's shoulder, sighing into Jade's ear as she slipped her boot off and then repeated her moves as she took her other boot off. As the second boot hit the floor, Tori turned and licked Jade on her cheek. Jade was now breathing hard, trying to keep her hands at her side and finding it hard to not touch this beautiful tan beauty on her lap.
"Jade, I need you…to help me with my bra," Tori whispered in to the pale goddess's ear. Jade finally let her hands run up Tori's sides then to her bra and unclasped it. Tori stood up before Jade had a chance to remove said bra and turned to face Jade. She moved to straddle her legs and, sitting on Jade's lap facing her, Tori bent down to Jade's ear again. "I want you to take it off."
Jade gasped as she ran her hands down Tori's arms taking her bra with her. Jade licked her lips as she took in Tori's now bare chest then, looking into Tori's brown eyes, she leaned forward to press her lips to Tori's. Jade leaned in to press her lips to Tori's. As their lips touched, there was a knock at the door. "You have got to be kidding!" Tori groaned as she pushed herself up from Jade's lap.
"Tori, are you almost done in there? We want to go. Hey, have you seen Jade? I've looked everywhere for her," Trina called through the door.
Tori looked at Jade as she redressed herself. "What do we do?" she asked, pulling her skirt back on.
"Trina, I'm in here with Tori. We'll be out in a minute. Now go away!" she yelled. Jade sighed deeply and pinched the bridge of her nose. She knew she would have to go visit another bathroom before she got back into the car with Tori. "Fuck, why is this so hard? Why? Why? Do I have to fight someone to the death to get any time alone with you?" Jade said as she looked at Tori, making sure she was dressed before ripping the door open, pushing past Trina on her way out.
The ride back to the Vega's was long and quiet. Jade sat in the back seat looking out the window while she thought about her and Tori. She wasn't sure if this would ever happen for them. From the time they were getting dressed to leave today, one thing or another had stopped her from kissing the girl of her dreams. She wanted to just take Tori into her arms and show her how she really felt about her. Jade never felt this much love for anyone in her life, including Beck, and now she had Tori this close but still a world away.
Tori looked over at Jade, wondering what the pale beauty was thinking about; she was also upset that they didn't get to have much time alone together today. Tori smiled when she thought about the dressing room and how she would have finally gotten to kiss the girl that she had loved from afar but, of course, her sister had to fuck that all up. Tori looked at Jade again then leaned over to whisper into her ear. "You know, we can go in to our room and finish what we started."
Jade looked at her with sad eyes and shook her head, then turned back to the window. Tori wasn't sure how to take that. She wasn't sure if Jade was just mad or if she was feeling it was a mistake to get involved with her. Tori tried again to talk to Jade. She needed to know what was going on in Jade's head. "Jade, what's wrong? Don't you want to be with me?"
Before Jade could answer the question, Jade was flung into Tori, who smashed into Trina. The car swerved into the other lane, David swearing at the driver that had cut him off. They all untangled from each other. Jade started shivering. She was transported back to the wreck. She fumbled for Tori, wrapped her arms around her and buried her face in the dark cascade of her hair. Her whole frame shuddered as Tori snapped up at her dad, "Come on, Dad, what the hell? Be careful! We're freaking out back here!"
He looked back over his shoulder, offering a sheepish, "Sorry, girls. You three ok?" He swung his head back, watching the road again. Holly's hand rested on his shoulder as she turned back, concern in her eyes.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks," said Trina. She shimmied in her seat, nudging Tori closer to Jade. Tori wrapped Jade tightly in her arms and grumbled at her dad, "I'm ok, too. Jade's freaking out a bit, but damn, way to give us a heart attack."
Jade barely heard the sniping. She kept feeling the horror of the wreck, seeing Tori and Cat injured, and she started to hyperventilate. But she jerked back out of Tori's arms, coughing. She started laughing, pulling Tori's hair that she had just inhaled out of her mouth. "Ok, crisis averted." She locked eyes with Tori. "Maybe we should shave your head and sell it to epileptics and people with anxiety. Choking on your hair will calm anyone."
The rest of the ride home was uneventful, though Jade didn't let go of Tori until the car was parked in the garage. Trina bounced out of the car, snagging her shopping bags out of the back and into the house. David and Holly climbed out while Jade reluctantly pulled away from Tori. They started to slide to the opposite sides, though Jade paused after David and Holly's doors were closed. "Hey."
Tori paused, her hand on the handle. "Yeah?"
"You know why I held on to you for that whole ride?"
"Oh, I don't know. You were scared?" Tori teased, sliding closer to Jade again. Jade shot her a dirty look. "No, huh? Well, because you wanted to eat more of my hair?" This time Jade barked a short laugh.
"I've been frustrated all day, and it's your fault. So, I figured I'd get what I could from you, since you won't hold still long enough for me to really show you how I feel," she said with a smile.
"Oh, well," Tori said, shoving back over to the door, opening it, and gave a wicked grin. "If you feel frustrated, you know where the bathroom is." She snapped the door shut, cutting off the offended croak of "You BITCH!" as Jade lunged for the door.
Jade leapt out of the car, and chased after Tori. They both pounded up the steps, and Jade laughed at the "Oh, nonononono!" squeal Tori squeaked out as they ran into the bedroom, slamming the door behind themselves.
