Beck couldn't wipe the grin off his face, since he kissed Jade.

He got into his apartment, and turned on his laptop to check his email.

15 messages from Tori.

Beck sighed, reading each one. All the messages conveyed the same message, Why aren't you responding? Call me. I miss you.

This is what he didn't like about Tori. She was hot, sweet, kind, nice, pretty, BUT - the biggest but of all - she was too clingy.

Jade was clingy went he went out with her in high school, and he could tolerate it. In fact, he found it rather cute when she would get jealous.

Tori, on the other hand, was just too clingy, especially for a non-exclusive relationship. He didn't understand why she was being really clingy.

His computer made a ringing noise. He was getting a video call from Tori.

He took a deep breath, before clicking the answer button.

"Hi babe," he said, casually.

"What have you been up to? I've been trying to get in touch with you. I miss you," she said, in a whiney tone.

"I've been busy with the movie and stuff," he said, trying not to put an emphasis when he said "and stuff."

She scoffed. "With you ex-girlfriend?"

Beck sighed. "Yes, with Jade. It's her movie."

"It's staying strictly professional between you two, right?"

Beck looked down, quickly, before looking back at the camera. "Yeah. Don't worry about it, babe," he lied.

He didn't know how to tell Tori, that he made out with Jade, earlier this evening - and that he enjoyed every single second of it. He knew Tori would have thrown a fit and possibly even stop him from ever seeing Jade again. He convinced himself that he was doing the right thing.

"Ok, I'm trusting you. I'm gonna be back soon."

"How soon?"

"Probably within two or three weeks. I'm not sure on the exact date. I'll let you know."

"Ok."

"Ok, well I gotta go for rehearsal. Bye, babe!" She blew him a kiss, and ended the call.

Beck exhaled, out of relief. He knew he should have told Tori, but he didn't want to jeopardize anything with Jade.

"Jadey!" Cat shrieked, as she jumped on Jade's bed.

Jade woke up, turned to the side, and looked at her clock. It was a minute before her alarm was about to go off.

She groaned, as she rubbed her eyes. "What the hell Cat?! I told you to never wake me up unless it's important!" She recalled the time she slept over Cat's house, once, and she woke her up to tell her a joke.

Cat jumped off the bed. "It is important silly. There's a present on the island counter." Cat walked out of Jade's bedroom, giggling.

Jade looked at the calendar, finding today's date. It wasn't her birthday. She didn't have anyone to celebrate an anniversary with. Last time she checked, she didn't do anything rewarding.

She pulled her comforter off her body and went outside to the kitchen.

There was a bouquet of chocolate covered strawberry, decorated beautifully, sitting on the island counter.

Jade's mouth dropped, completely surprised. "This is for me?"

"Isn't it the cutest thing ever? It's like a bouquet, except you can eat it!"

She grabbed a chocolate covered strawberry, and took a bite. It had a savoring taste and the chocolate melted in her mouth. "Mmm," she said. "It's delicious. Here, taste it," Jade said, handing one to Cat.

Cat put one in her mouth. "This is soooo good!"

"Who dropped this off?" Jade asked, wondering who on earth would give this to her.

"A delivery guy with a red shirt. Do you know who would give this to you?"

"I have no idea," she said, still wondering.

Cat looked around the bouquet, and found a small white enveloped, tucked in between the flaps. "Here's the card," Cat said, giving Jade the envelope.

Jade opened the envelope, and pulled out the card.

A delicious treat for those delicious lips of yours.
I hope you'll have a wonderful day at work with me.
From Beck.
P.S. Can't wait to kiss those lips again.

Jade blushed, as she read the card.

"I'm guessing it's from Beck?" Cat asked.

"What? How'd you know?" Jade asked, genuinely surprised by Cat's guess.

Cat giggled, before answering. "Because you're blushing a lot and you have a huge smile on your face."

Jade quickly covered her smile with her hand. She realized how silly she probably looked to Cat, and joined Cat for a laugh.

They both ate another one, and then Jade put it into the refrigerator.

She got ready for work. After showering, she dried her hair, letting her natural curls fall freely and loosely. She looked at herself, admiring herself. She knew it was a good decision to dye her hair back to her natural color.

She slipped on a blue tank top, that revealed her cleavage nicely. She pulled on her black slacks, that fit loosely. She put on a black blazer, that wrapped around her curves smoothly. It was low cut, and she buttoned the only button on the bottom. Even with it on, her cleavage was still seen. She put on her black wedges and her black sunglasses.

She took one last look in the mirror, reminding herself to talk to Beck before doing anything else with him.

Jade walked into the film warehouse, heading to her office. She was distracted, re-reading the scenes they were going to film today.

"Hey pretty girl," Beck whispered into Jade's ear, taking her by surprise.

She turned around to face Beck. "Hey Beck."

"Did you get the bouquet?"

"Yes. Thank you. It was really good."

"I was going to give you a bouquet of real flowers, but I remembered that you would have just cut them up."

"Actually, I don't do that anymore. I put away all of my scissors in storage, like three years ago. It's all in glass display containers. I want them in mint condition."

"What? Ms. Jadelyn West hasn't touch any of her scissors for three years? I'm shocked," he said, in a playful tone.

Jade slapped him, playfully. "Hey! Don't call me that in public! And yes, I haven't. You know, we are adults. We outgrow some our teenage selves."

"Well, I'm glad you haven't outgrown me," he said, smirking at her.

"Umm, about that... Beck, I think we need to talk-"

Beck interrupted her, by grabbing her hand and pulling her towards her office.

"What are you doing?" she asked, still holding onto his hand, letting him pull her. She liked holding his hand.

Beck didn't respond. He reached Jade's office, and opened the door. He pulled her in, and shut the door immediately.

He kissed her, passionately.

"Actually, we need to talk-"

He interrupted her again with a kiss.

He kissed her lips, over and over. His tongue tousling with hers, playfully.

He trailed his kissed down to her neck.

"Beck we need to talk..." she tried to say. His kisses made her want to melt.

"About?" he asked, then continued to kiss her neck; this time going up. He reached the top of her neck, and went up to her ear. He gently kissed her earlobe - licking and nibbling it.

She tried to resist him, but after minutes of trying, she gave up, again. He was too irresistible.

She kissed him back, gently then hard. She let the tip of her tongue play with his. She bit his bottom lip, tugging it out a little. Back then, whenever she did that, it would drive him crazy, making him crave her.

Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door and Jade quickly stopped kissing him.

"Jade, Brooke said camera man number 5 needs to speak to you right now," Josh said, knocking on her door.

"I'll be out there in a moment Josh!" she yelled out, loud enough for him to hear her.

She leaned her ear against the door, trying to hear if he left.

"What are you doing?" Beck asked, amused at her pressing her ear against the door.

"I don't want people knowing we're doing stuff. It's completely unprofessional," she told him. "I don't want people getting the wrong idea."

"Since when do you care what people think?" he asked, curious. In high school, she didn't give a damn about what anyone else thought about her. She said, did, wrote, and expressed, however she felt; no matter what.

"Beck, I'm their boss. They have to respect me and I can't just gallivant around like this with you," she said.

Her point was valid, making him understand. He opened his mouth to say something, but Josh interrupted.

"Jade!" Josh said, knocking on her door again.

"Coming Josh!" she told him. "I'll talk to you later." She went out the door quickly to attend to the problem.

During work, Beck respected Jade - in her trying to be professional. He didn't want to ruin her career, so he fought the urge to kiss her.

Though, that didn't stop him from doing silly things to make her laugh and smile when they were on break. He'd do anything to put a smile on her face.

When she called it a wrap for the day, she retreated to her office. She sat down on her desk, noticing a card placed in the middle of her desk. She picked it up to read it.

I'll pick you up at eight o' clock, sharp.
Wear something dressy.

"I didn't know you had a date tonight," Cat said, sitting down on Jade's bed.

"Neither did I," Jade said, looking at herself in the mirror. She wore a blue flowy dress with black wedges. "Beck left me a note after we were done working."

"So you guys talked things out?"

"No..." she said, feeling dumb for not talking it out with Beck earlier.

"Why not?"

"It was a busy day at work," Jade lied, as she recalled making out with Beck in her office.

There was a knock on the door. "Don't wait up!" Jade told Cat, as she grabbed her purse and walked to the door.

"Wait, Jade!" Cat called out to Jade, following her.

Jade turned around. "What Cat?"

"You know what you're getting yourself into right?"

Jade knew Cat was referring to the mess with Beck and Tori. She knew what she was getting herself into, and she knew she needed to talk to Beck about it, before she got waist deep into the situation.

Beck knocked on the door again. Cat and Jade looked at the door, and then Jade looked at Cat. "Relax. I'll be ok."

Jade quickly opened the door and took Beck's hand to get away as quickly as possible. Cat looked at the door, and saw Beck make an attempt to wave at her.

"I hope so..." Cat said, softly, to herself. She had a feeling that something bad was going to happen with Jade, Beck, and Tori, and she knew they were all going to get hurt, one way or another. It was just a matter of time...

How will their date go?
Will she finally talk everything out with Beck?

Stay tuned to find out!
