Tori
"Okay, I didn't even want to work with him in the first place how am I already associated with him?!"
"Tori, calm down."
Scooter puts his hand out doing that calm down gesture, you know the one that people do. Effy's standing there with her hand on her forehead 'cause she doesn't know what to do and these stupid PR people are basically doing the same, but it's stupid because all they care about is money and their position, not me. Scooter and Effy are the only smart ones here, honestly.
"Look, we'll kill this now before they blow it up. Tori's supposed to be a good influence on him and that's why they're set up to work together this year, yes?"
I know this sounds stupid, like I haven't done anything, but that's how it starts. I never even wanted to work with him, but the record label does and then he gets in trouble and now because I'm supposed to work with him it's like I'm automatically connected to him and next thing you know the media is printing stories on how I supplied him with drugs and blah, blah.
Everyone in the room nods in agreement with Effy.
"Tell L.A. I don't want to do anything with him unless I choose to."
Scooter says he will and then I walk out with Effy close behind. Before I walk out I turn to her. I can already see paparazzi waiting for me.
"I don't want to be connected to something I have nothing to do with."
"And you won't. Look, Scooter and I will make sure your name is out of this by tomorrow. You already know what to do. You'll be fine. I'll see you back in LA and we'll have lunch."
She smirks. It's how she smiles, it's just a permanent smirk. The Effy Stonem Smirk, more specifically.
I hug here before I walk out.
Ugh, TMZ, perfect.
Actually it is perfect. Everyone thinks they're the worst, but they're only as bad as the next media stalker except they're a little nicer than most. Plus, when you really want something to be known just talk to them.
Lights start flashing as I walk to my car and they all start asking questions.
"Tori, what do you think about Yazz being arrested?"
"Are you and Sutton back on?"
"Is Justin getting back with Selena?"
Wait, what...
"Are you and Jade fighting?"
"Tori, are you and Yazz friends?"
"Did you know anything about his drugs?"
"How's the collaboration with Yazz?"
When I get to my car I open the door and then turn to the TMZ camera guy. They all go quiet.
"I have nothing to do with Yazz, I didn't even know I was supposed to work with him. Bye, guys."
I say as I get in my car and then I hear them all start going crazy with questions before I rev up my engine, making them back away so I can leave.
Luckily, the traffic isn't so bad in this part of New York and get back to the penthouse soon enough. I really just want to enjoy the rest of our time here.
"Hey! Did you get it sorted?"
Cat happened to be walking by as I walked in. We walk into the living room where Jade is.
"Yeah, it'll be fine. So, do you have plans today?"
I ask Cat. I don't want to leave here all alone. Justin's got work stuff all day.
"Yeah, actually Ricky and Andre should be here soon."
"Okay, cool. Thennnnn Jade would you be so kind as to give me the honors of keeping me company today?"
She give me a weird look, but she's smiling a bit.
"You're so weird."
"So that's a yes."
She rolls her eyes as she stands up and grabs her bag...er...purse?
"See ya Cat!"
"Have fun you two! Remember self control in public and always use protection!"
Oh God.
I drove us to this outdoor shopping area, it wasn't far, and there's a parking garage, which is always a plus.
It's kind of a gloomy day today, but that doesn't stop us from wearing sunglasses to keep from being spotted. Believe it or not, most people here are wearing glasses too so it's not like we stand out.
I also have a snapback on (backwards), a red zip-up hoodie, black tee, some blue faded Baldwin jeans, which have pre-rips in knees, and classic Timberland boots.
Jade as a black coat on, which I got her for New Years Eve, so I guess she likes it, and the rest of her outfit is her usual black attire, making her teal streaks in her hair stand out, and then there's her eyes. Too bad they're covered by her blacked out sunglasses.
"You're staring."
She smirks without looking at me.
"It's a compliment."
She looks at me now with a real smile.
"So are you really okay with keeping us a secret?"
I don't want her to feel like I'm hiding her... well I am, but it's so we can have our privacy.
"Please and miss the chance to have some fun with confusing the hell out of media and your fans."
"You really are a twisted kind of girl."
"Does it turn you on?"
If I was drinking something I'd probably choke on it.
"...Maybe."
She glances at me before stopping and then looking past me. she starts walking. I turn around as she enters this, somewhat big, bookstore. We both take off our glasses as we enter the quiet store.
I catch up to her as she walks down an empty aisle between bookshelves. I grab her hips from behind and lean into her neck.
"You know what's also a turn on.."
I whisper and she hums with suspicious eyes.
"Just knowing the fact that we have to sneak around and not get caught."
I press my self into her and she bites her lip. She turns around and puts a hand around the back of my neck and the other is on my shoulder, slowly moving downward.
"You know what's even better?"
She looks at me mischievously.
Why do I feel like I'm going to hate what she's about to say...
Her moving hand slides over my now hardening member and cups it through my jeans. She leans in right by my ear and my breathing picks up.
"The fact that I can turn you on so easily in public and you have to hide so you don't get caught."
With that she gently pushes off of me and walks to a different aisle, leaving me to suffer.
"Seriously.."
She's going to be the death of me. Deep breaths Tori.
I eventually calm down and catch up with Jade and we decide to get coffee and some food from the cafe in the book store.
"So what day do you leave exactly?"
"Uh..the 20th and then I'll be back in April. Not sure when exactly, it just depends how everything goes with shooting and script changes ya know."
This sucks.
"Hmmm..Okay well, I was thinking..."
She raises her pierced eyebrow.
Focus.
"Do you want to go a little vaca before you leave? I mean it'd be with our friends too. Justin actually came up with the idea. Anyways, we were thinking Aspen?"
She sips her hot coffee and looks up at me. I can't read her, she's so good at keeping her emotions unreadable just to keep people guessing.
"We'll have our own private Jacuzziiiii..."
Finally, the corners of her mouth pull upward.
"You know I would have already said yes."
"Can never be too safe with a West."
She smirks.
"True."
Just then I notice some girls sitting a few tables behind Jade, staring at us and giggling. When they see me look at them they look away.
"We've been spotted."
I smile at Jade and she looks behind her. The three girls come over to us and I just smile at them.
"Hi, sorry to bother you. We're just you're biggest fans and were wondering if we could get a picture with you?"
The look kind of scared of Jade, but she offers them a warm smile. Yes, she's scary, she's Jade West, but she's not mean, especially to fans.
"No, of course."
I smile at them and stand up and put my arms around one of them as I grab one of their phones and huddle with them.
"Can we get one with Jade too? If that's okay?"
They're so nervous, it's cute though.
"Come on Jade, don't be so grumpy."
I tease her and she narrows her eyes at me, making the girls laugh. She stands up and huddles on the side of one of the girls and I hold the phone up again.
"Everyone act like the models that are too cool for pictures, but take selfies all the time, go!"
They all laugh and then we pose for the picture. It looks awesome.
"Thank you so much!"
"No problem, you guys are the best."
Me and Jade hug each of them and then they walk off screaming and laughing with each other. Jade tilts her head as she watches them go.
"I like them."
I smile at her. We go back to walking around outside before anyone else could spot us in the store. I grab her hand has we walk and she hers with mine.
"You're fans are crazy you know?"
"Yeah, well... I technically inherited all of Justin's fans by association so you know..."
She chuckles, knowing how insane his fans are. It kind of scares me how dirty their minds are, but what're you ganna do.
I spot a giant thrift store that looks so hipster I just couldn't resist and I pull Jade in with me. Bring on the cliche movie scene of the adorable couple putting on crazy clothes, hats, and other accessories and lauging at each other.
Jade finds this ridiculously big fur coat and puts it on and poses a movie star pose. I take a picture of her and she starts laughing when I show her.
"That thing is ridiculous and yet, so Macklemore."
"Vega, you're the epitome of a cliche."
She's laughing at me.
"Says the girl who is dating said epitome."
I smile at her like I just won this conversation. She just rolls her eyes at me.
"God, we're one of those couples, aren't we."
It's not a question.
"Yes, yes we are."
I laugh at her. We actually end up buying a few things and I carry the bags.
"I could definitely get used to this cliche though."
She smirks at me.
"Ha, ha, ha, you're so funny babe."
She just glances at me as we walk back to the parking garage. It's not late, but it's getting dark already since it's January, ya know.
I put the bags in car trunk. It's a rental; I didn't feel like riding in a black suv everywhere while we're here.
"You up for dinner?"
I already made reservations at this steak house. It's supposed to be the best here.
"You already made plans?"
"Maybe."
She looks around the parking garage discreetly before wrapping her arms around my neck. I pull her to me by her waist. She pecks my lips.
"You're- so- beautiful-."
I sing and she smirks.
That actually sounded nice. I should make that into a song later.
"Damn right, I am."
I start laughing before I kiss her again.
"Come on, let's go eat."
She pulls away from me.
"Are you just using me to get amazing food?"
She frowns.
"Of course not...I'm using you for free vacations and amazing sex too."
She says with a serious demeanor. I start laughing and shake my head as I get in the car.
I really love her.
Jade West posted a pic:
(It's a picture of Jade posing in a giant fur coat in the store)
" Macklemore I took your grandpa's style."
"Hi, I have reservations."
"Oh, yes! Right this way Ms. Vega."
The host smiles at us and leads us to our table. It's pretty fancy in here; dim lighting, white table cloths, dressed up people. It's nice.
"Thanks."
"I haven't been here in forever."
Jade says as she looks at the menu. She used to go here with her dad when she was little. He does a lot of business in NYC.
"Too nostalgic?"
"No, it's nice."
Soon the waiter arrives to take our orders.
"You know what I just realized?"
"Huh?"
"You're not even going to be here for the Grammys."
"You'll have to take Justin as your date."
That really makes me wanna laugh.
I sigh dramatically.
"I do like his hair..."
She looks at me with amusement.
"You're going to kill me Jade."
She looks at me like I'm ridiculous now.
"Seriously, I probably could fly in for the weekend."
"I'll send my jet."
I give her a seductive look.
"How did I end up with you."
"Was that an actual question?"
She just shakes her head at me.
The waiter brings us our food and we start eating.
It's soooooo goooooood.
"Okay, this is way better than I remember it, not that it wasn't already amazing."
I agree with her. We continue to eat and talk about random things for the next 3 hours.
Sometimes, I zone out when she's talking because I start focusing on her eyes or her lips and I just kind forget she's actually talking... Is that bad? I can't help it.
"Tori."
"What?"
She chuckles.
"Are you ready?"
Oh, right.
"Yeah, lets go."
We leave hand in hand and start walking out to the valet. Yeah, it's that fancy. As the valet goes to get our car, about three paparazzi guys come up to us.
Fantastic.
Probably someone in the restaurant.
"Jade you look beautiful."
She just stays close to me and keeps her head down, ignoring them.
"Are you two together?"
"I thought you were with Sutton, Tori?"
"Could you please just back up?"
I put my hand out towards them.
Why does Valet take so long when you actually want to leave.
"Yeah, back up guys."
There's always that one nice guy in the group.
"Tori, could you please answer a question for us?"
"Are you making an new music right now?"
Fine.
"I'm always making new music."
"Was your new song about Jade?"
Ugh.
Finally our car pulls up. I open the passenger door for Jade.
"Have a good night you two!"
"You too!"
I call out as I join Jade in the car.
"Sorry."
I felt the need to apologize to Jade just cause.
"Not your fault and it wasn't that bad compared to the usual."
True.
I lean over and peck her lips and she smiles. I grab her hand with my free hand as I drive us home.
When we get back we're greeted by Cat, Justin, Kyle Massey, Ricky Underwood, Khalil, Robbie, Hailey, Kendall, Cara Delevingne, Ryan Butler, and Andre.
"Heeeeyyyyy... Why so many people?"
Justin comes up to me and we do our handshake.
"Hey, We're about to go out to this club. Chris is having a party. You down?"
By Chris he means Chris Brown. So I'm assuming all the rappers and such will be there too.
"Yeah, course."
I'm so down.
Jade's talking to a hyperactive Cat right now and she's just nodding at the red head as she talks a 100 miles a second.
"The cars'll be here in here a few, so you got time to change if you want."
"Cool."
I probably should grab a warmer jacket.
I run upstairs real quick and grab a Joy Rich varsity jacket. It's super warm. I pull it on over my red jacket that I was already wearing and then I hear everyone yell my name and I start laughing as I run down stairs. Jade holds out her hand when she sees me and we head out.
