A/N: I think everyone is going to LOOOOOVE this chapter.

Just a feeling...

The first year of college for both girls were an intense experience, but in a good way. Jade was excelling at UCLA and she knew that Tori had enough distractions between schoolwork and her job at the multiplex to keep her from thinking about how badly her family burned her all those months ago. Not that she had received much in contact to begin with; no calls, no letters, nothing - but Tori made a conscious effort that her so-called parents and sister wouldn't have a backdoor into her life.

She suspended her profile, privatized her Facebook (after un-friending Trina and her mother), and had all of her mail re-routed to a PO Box at the post office a block from her school. Tori made a point to check it once a week, when she had a free period in the afternoon on Tuesdays. It was a small box for standard envelopes. During those stretches when they saw little of each other, Jade would write a letter longhand and send it to Tori's mailbox. It made the half Latina look forward to checking the mail even more.

When they did get to see each other, they were inseparable. Tori would talk about her to Lindsay at work and she was relieved to find out that she wasn't homophobic. Though she was a little naïve on the subject. She would ask Tori about common things like kissing or dancing and Tori would shrug and say there were pretty close to how straight couples do things. But she makes a point to tell Lindsay that while she used to have a "thing" for moustaches, Tori had to admit that after Jade she didn't miss that scruffy feeling from kissing a guy. Tori didn't have many pictures to show because Jade never cared for cutesy couples pictures.

Lindsay did meet Jade when she arrived at the end of Tori's shift. The two chatted for five minutes until the tan girl emerged from the back room wearing a purple top and white pants.

"About time you showed up," Tori folded her arms.

"You cannot rush perfection, Vega" Jade hissed. "Besides, it's my day and I am on time. Everyone else is just early."

"And that's different from every other day...how?"

Jade pointed "Watch it."

Lindsay laughed, "Please tell me you two are always like this." She then looked at Jade. "You like black don't you?"

"What can I say?" the Goth quipped. "Black goes with anything."

"Well, order what you want so you can GO with me."

Jade raised an eyebrow, "Bossy. Not sure if I love it or hate it."

"Save your decision until the end."

Tori ordered pretzel bites, Jade some nachos along with a large popcorn and large cherry coke to share. Lindsay gave them a wink and told them to enjoy the show. Jade was a little confused by the sentiment at first but then was startled by the empty theatre.

"Vega, where is everybody?" Jade looked at her phone. "Movie starts in two minutes."

"This is everybody," Tori said as she sat down in the middle of the center-most row.

"Tori?" Jade's voice was almost like an elementary school teacher. "What did you do?"

"What's your favorite scary movie?"

"You're quoting Scream now?"

Tori shook her head, "No, silly. I'm asking you."

"Um, The Scissoring. You know that!"

Tori grinned widely. "And I also know that you have always wanted to see it on the big screen but missed its original run."

"Not my fault," Jade folded her arms in a huff. "It was only released on like 7 screens."

"Well it just so happens AMC picked it up for a wider showing for Halloween this year."

Jade tilted her head "Yeah?"

"Now whenever a new film arrives, we must screen the print to make sure its okay before showing it." Tori outstretched her arms to illustrate their surroundings. "Your favorite movie on the silver screen and no annoying people. Happy Birthday, baby!"

Jade was speechless which was not an easy thing to do. But she grabbed Tori by the shoulders and kissed her madly.

"Best. Idea. Ever."

And a second later, the theatre went dark and the projector spun into action. Once the logo came up, Jade sat considerably higher in her chair while Tori held tightly onto her date's arm. As the movie unfolded, even Tori saw ever beat coming as Jade showed her this movie countless times. About midway through, they were paying a little less attention to the movie and more on themselves. Before long they started heavily making out. Eventually Tori had to stand up and go over to Jade's chair before continuing because of those arms that don't move between seats.

Jade was overcome with how good it felt, Tori grinding into her as they kissed so deeply. She was honestly impressed, never suspecting sweet sally peaches had it in her. Tori's dry humping was so intense it was as if their respective pussies were trying to kiss through their jeans. Jade's hands slid beneath Tori's shirt. Tori enjoyed the scratching of Jade's nails very much and used that as encouragement to continue on.

"Wait!" Tori said, getting off of Jade.

"Is something wrong?" the pale girl said, catching her breath.

"No," Tori replied. "Everything is wonderful. I just..."

Jade gave her that look that made Tori's heart race.

"You want to get out of here?"

"Yes."

About ten minutes later, they were back at the house.

They were barely through the door before going back to making out right there in the foyer. Jade's dad was away until the day after tomorrow so the house was all theirs.

"Upstairs," muttered Tori between gasps for air.

"Your room?" Jade asked.

Tori shook her head "Yours."

Jade leaned her forehead against Tori's.

"Are you sure?"

"I know I've been avoiding it for a while but I...I...feel ready now."

Tori brushed her hair back behind her shoulders.

"Yeah?"

Tori nodded and then said "I want you."

Jade gave a small kiss on Tori's lips and whispered into her ear..."catch me..."

And with that, the Goth ran up the staircase with a particularly hot and bothered half Latina pursuing her at a healthy clip. They burst into Jade's room where the door was slightly ajar and Tori almost caught Jade but she was faster.

Jade then got on the other side of the bed and began to slowly undress. Tori was slow to start but eventually began shedding clothing. Now in nothing but bras and panties, the two girls took each others bodies in. They had seen one another many times before in bikinis but their undergarments were a little more revealing.

Tori was drawn to Jade's perfectly-rounded breasts, how the fabric of her bra looked like it was holding them back at great effort. Jade's eyes admired Tori's well-toned stomach and hips. They somehow made Jade anticipate what lay further down even more.

Jade crawled onto the bed and curled her finger for Tori to come and make herself comfortable. But the girl hesitated.

Tori didn't tell Jade and probably thought it was too complicated to ever admit but...this was her turning point. She had kissed a girl, hugged a girl, made out with a girl, hung out, teased, and done other things of that nature. Basically, Tori hadn't done anything more serious than what a college girl who was "experimenting" would cop to. If she sleeps with Jade, that marks Tori's acceptance of her identity.

She was secure in her sexuality, despite what dissenting voices occasionally said. Admittedly, what happened with her family was a great blow to her confidence. But Jade was by her side whenever she was feeling weak and willing to give up. Tori loved Jade and wanted to make love to her but it was still a big step. It was further into the relationship so despite the lust, Jade respected Tori's wishes to wait until she was up to it.

If she does this, Tori acknowledges to herself; then she is gay. She was attracted to another woman and was prepared to consummate that love. She thought briefly of her parents and how quick they were to turn their backs to her. Fuck them, she said to herself. If they are willing to reject their own flesh and blood then she rejects them. Fuck them all and what they stand for.

Jade held out her hands, a loving and almost serene expression came across her face. Her body language said that it was okay if she said no at any time. But is she still wants to have sex, she will help her through this pivotal moment. It wasn't just Tori losing her virginity but her fully embracing what her heart wants. She was Tori Vega, out of the closet, and staring at the most beautiful girl in the world, almost naked...and wanting her.

Tori took Jade's hands and let them help her onto the bed.

"We can take it as slow or as fast as you want," Jade told her to calm her down.

"Okay," Tori nodded.

Jade deftly slipped off Tori's white bra. She looked at the tan breasts in front of her and carefully began to touch them. Tori bit her lip as Jade's smooth fingers caressed the soft mounds while both thumbs began to work on her nipples. They stood at attention as Jade continued to massage Tori's breasts, eliciting hushed gasps.

The Goth would have to keep exploring to find out if her girlfriend was a loud one or not.

"Does this feel good?" Jade asked Tori.

"Uh-huh" was all intelligible speech she could muster.

"Then you're gonna love this."

As soon as Jade stopped talking, her tongue was getting a workout. And it was a pair of beautiful tan tits that was the playground. Tori felt like she was going to lose it with every wet and warm tweaking of her nipples. She almost jumped when Jade began sucking on Tori's nipples, her soft lips felt like silk. Tori had never a speech impediment growing up but right now she was stammering like a fool.

With a loud noise, Jade's luscious lips released Tori's breast and the half Latina fell backward onto some pillows out of breath.

"Was that good?" Jade asked.

"Yes, yes" Tori nodded. "That was..."

She felt knees on both sides of her torso. Jade leaned in with her arms surrounding her own now-liberated mounds.

"Now you," the pale girl said, licking her lips. "They're all yours, Vega."

As Jade let her killer rack hang completely unfettered, Tori mouthed the words Oh My God.

"If you get lost, there is a map that tells you where to find your way out," Jade teased.

Tori's fingertips trembled as Jade's breasts became enveloped in her hands. They were the softest things she had ever felt. She found herself fondling them almost greedily like a child with modeling clay. Jade chuckled at how Tori was trying to play it cool despite being overwhelmed by her dirty pillows.

The tan girl buried her face into Jade's flesh, licking right in between them. Tori enjoyed the rush of bring in the midst of Jade's boobs, almost suffocating herself; adrift in a sea of flesh. Then Tori began to focus on one mound at a time, playing with Jade's nipple. The Goth expected Tori sloppily using her tongue to try to turn her on but she was genuinely surprised by the precise way she was using her teeth. They just touched her nipple and Tori vibrated her jaw, making Jade's voice vibrate.

And here Jade thought she was going to be the teacher and Tori the uninitiated.

When Tori took a short break, Jade quipped "I knew there was something about that smile I liked."

"I may be a newbie but don't think I never imagined what I was going to do to you."

Tori took advantage of having Jade lay beneath her and held down her arms whilst kissing her on the mouth...on the neck...on the ear...

Before Tori could do any more, Jade whisked her sideways and now she was straddling the tan girl. Her right hand went under Tori's neck, holding her tightly to allow her tongue to wrestle the half Latina's tongue to the ground. Meanwhile, Jade's left hand slid craftily beneath Tori's panties.

Tori felt something long and thin inside of her, having found her sweet spot in no time at all. Then she felt a fuller version of the same sensation. She had increased from one finger to two. Now the rubbing of her clit grew more and more intense. Jade relented from the deep kissing for a little bit to hear what Tori was moaning but it was beyond words. Because inside what she was feeling was beyond words.

After several minutes on unadulterated attention paid to Tori's dripping wet peach, Jade made a grab for her breast as the final crescendo came down.

Tori gripped the sheets around her like she was falling and was trying to keep from plummeting. Jade fell beside her, holding her clearly spent girlfriend tightly.

"That was..." Tori whispered.

"It feels like you have pins and needles all over, right?"

"Y-YY-esss."

Tori wiped the sweat from her forehead and took a deep breath.

"Somebody's no longer a virgin," Jade sighed.

"Guess so," Tori smiled.

"Welcome to the club."

Tori rolled over and looked at Jade in the eye.

"What?" Jade asked.

"Just looking forward to what I'm going to do to you next."

"Oh?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah," Tori sighed. "Just give me a few minutes to get my energy back."

"Get used to that."

"Used to what?" Tori asked.

"Get used to taking a break before going another round." Jade pointed to her door. "I recommend drinking some water before continuing."

"Too bad, because I don't want to leave right now."

"Me neither."

Tori blinked, "I've got an idea. Next time, we have a cooler by the bed."

"Brilliant..."

The two lovers closed their eyes and kissed. No sense of time or place was aware to them at this moment. They could have been floating in a great void because they didn't see anything beyond each other.

It was a birthday that Jade would certainly never forget.

And one day she hoped to do the same for Tori.
