When Push Comes To Shove ch. 13
Vega taking me out on a date was definite experience for me but it was good one as she took me to see a horror movie even though she was scared shitless and spent most of it with her face buried in my neck. I don't know how we got on the subject of the film festival but talking about it with her made feel better but I don't know gonna submit anything but I guess that we'll have to see. Things got back on track when we decided to grab something from this little Italian place downtown just talking while guessing what other people were saying from the other side of the restaurant. I never felt this at ease with someone before but with Vega, I felt like I could tell her anything and she wouldn't judge me for it as I guess that it's part of the reason why I would go to her for help so much in the past. I got her home five minutes before curfew but the last thing I need her Dad hunting me down, looking for his daughter and I'm more sure that it would be in my best interest to stay on his good side but it doesn't mean that I wanted the night to end.
I have to admit that I'm a bit envious of the close relationship that the singer has with her father and I could see how much he loves from the interacts that I've seen in the past as I guess a small part of me wishes that I had that kind of relationship with my own. There's no way that's gonna happen with Daddy Dearest being the asshole that he is and he's gonna change any time soon so there's no point in hoping for something that's never gonna happen. I don't need him back then and I certainly don't need him now. He's made his choice. I shake my head to rid my thoughts of those thoughts because I don't want to ruin tonight with thoughts of him. There's so many things that I wanted to say to her, things that I wanted to express but I didn't know to as I've never been at it but with the pop star, she just seems to know as she press her lips against mine.
I didn't want it to but unfortunately it does and for whatever reason things don't work between us, I'll treasure the time that we spend together for the rest of my life as she retreats inside. I went home with a smile on my face while Ma lightly teases me that I'm becoming a softie which isn't true because I'm West and Wests are badasses before grabbing a empty notebook, jotting down potential ideas for a script before going to sleep. I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and well rested for the first time in a long time as I get ready for a long day filled with classes and dealing with losers but the only upside to it all is that I'll see Vega. I take a quick shower and quickly got dressed before checking on Haru to see Ma in the kitchen, making breakfast in her robe which I'm surprised because she rarely has a day off but I'm glad that she's getting some rest, kissing her cheek while grabbing a piece of toast.
She tells me that she'll drop the soccer player off at school and to tell Tori that she said hello before heading out of the door, making it to Hollywood Arts in ten minutes and I see the pop star getting out of her sister's car with Aisha in tow when lock eyes. The singer smiles bright at me as she makes her way towards me, holding out a piping hot cup of coffee which I take, finding it as black as my soul with two sugars which I'm surprised that she exact remember my coffee order before kissing my cheek. There was still time before the first bell, sitting on the hood of my car as Vega settles between my legs, leaning against the front when our usual group of loser joins us one after the other. I honestly couldn't be bothered with listening to them especially Robbie whining about another girl rejecting him yet again but that's to be expected as the boy has so many issues that it's ridiculous.
Andre and Beck were talking something or whatever as I wasn't really wasn't paying attention as the male musician was partially leering at Aisha and Cat who were talking to the pop star about something. I'm pulled out of my thoughts by something touching the side of my jaw to see the girl leaning against me with a smile on her face as I raise an eyebrow at her before returning the smile.
"Aww careful West, keep up with the smile and people will think that you're losing your edge" Beck teases.
"Fuck off Beckett" I said flicking him off.
"Be nice Jade" Tori lightly reprimands me.
"I don't wanna and he's use to it"
"PLease" Tori said batting her long eyelashes.
"Whatever" I said rollin my eyes.
Andre and Beck start making whipping noises and motions but quickly stop when I glare icily at them because I'm not whipped in any way, shape or form when the bell rings as I finish off my coffee. The losers head off in different directions, leaving me and Vega alone for a few minutes as she looks at me shyly before wrapping her around my waist as her green apple shampoo and if liking the feel of her pressed against me is me being whipped then I don't think I minded too much. What is this girl doing to me? Why does it feel so good? The pop star pulls back slightly to look her in her big, expressive brown eyes before leaning in to kiss her fully on the lips and it feels like the first time as she lets out a tiny squeak but moaning slightly. She wraps her arms around my neck as I hold onto her hips when the warning bell rings out, groaning pitifully at the interruption as the Latina giggles before pecking me onto the lips before pushing me towards the building.
I honestly couldn't care about being on time for class, not like the teacher are gonna say shit to me about it but I know what Vega would say because she's such a good student and a bit of goody two-shoes. I guess that I could stay my studies a bit more serious but seems like way too much effort on my part and it's not like I'm failing any of my classes to begin with. I pull out my notebook, making it seem like I was studying while actually working on my script when something lands on top of the edge of my desk to see a piece sitting there with my name written on it. I look around to see who might have put it there but everyone was either talking to someone that they knew or doing something as I open the note to see that it's clearly written in Toru's neat hand writing. I roll my eyes amused at her indirectly telling me to be a good student and set a good example for my sister as I know what she's getting at while surprised that she's using my sister against me to make me a good student.
Well played Vega, well played. Setting my script aside for the time being and actual paying attention for the first time, shocking the teacher who look like she seen a ghost or that someone told her that that Big Foot's real. I actually took notes for myself instead of taking them from some nerd that I share with the class with as I shake my head at the effect of having the Latina on me as I make my way towards the usual table where my group of losers are. I was always out when someone calls my to see the pop star walking towards me with a proud smile on her face.
"You seem happy, Vega" I said raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, a little birdie told me that you actually paid attention in class and took notes" Tori said smiling.
"Oh yeah and who's this bird? How do you even know that they're actually telling you the truth?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"I have my ways and a good spy keeps some things to herself" Tori said smirking. "Oh really, do I have to find out these secrets?" I asked feeling my interest peeked.
"If you're a good girl, I'll think about revealing a secret or two" Tori said sashaying away.
Damn this girl is gonna be the death of me.
The usual suspects are talking among themselves when Aisha notice our linked hands before smirking knowing as I roll my eyes as she know about our date last night since she was there when we left and I'm sure that Tori what happened.
"Aww look at that, the lovebirds finally decide to grace us with their presence after trying to suck each others face off" Aisha teases smugly.
"Aisha!" Tori said lightly smacking her arm.
"Oh god, I was right wasn't I?" Aisha laughs.
"So what if we was, you seem a little too interested in what we do for someone who chasing after two people" I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Ooo touché, kitty got claws" Aisha said wrapping her arm around Cat's waist.
"My brother had a cat once but he doesn't anymore because he tried washing it in the washing machine" Cat said off-handedly.
Aisha look worriedly at Cat for a moment before looking up at Tori and me for help but all of us are so used to hearing weird stories about her brother and he's the reason that I stopped going over there in seventh grade. I found him hovering over me during one of the sleepovers that the fashion designer back then and it freaked me the hell out, making worry about my friend's safety as I don't know what's going on in that psycho's mind. I mouth to let it go because it wasn't worth it as the dancer nods but it's obvious that she's worried about her girlfriend but there's not much that we can do about that. I grab a burger and fries combo for myself along with a salad for Tori from Fergus before returning to the table as the singer swipes one of my fries from plate when two douche bags make comments about her being waste or some shit like that and it pissed me off. I was ready to rip them a new asshole when the singer grabs me by the arm, forcing me to stay seated as she gets up, calling out to them with a sickening sweet smile on her face.
"Think that you might repeat what you had?"
"I said that it's a total waste for someone as pretty as you to be a lesbian even more so being with a major bitch like West" Aaron said shrugging his shoulders.
"Yeah, I bet that all you need is a real man to straighten you out" Chris said leering sleazily.
"Oh really, that's what you think and you think that you can straighten me out, eh?" Tori asked raising an unimpressed eyebrow.
Both boys nod in agreement like they were about to get lucky but Vega did something shock everyone in the vicinity as she punches them in the stomach before grabbing them both by the ears, twisting painfully.
"Look here you sorry excuse for insecure little boys, you wont speak to me, Jade or anyone for that moment in that way or I swear that I'll report you to the facility for harassment. If you even look at us funnily, I promise you that I'll do far worse than punch you in the stomach, do we understand each other"
"We understand, we understand. Please let us go" Aaron cries out in pain.
"We'll listen" Chris said in agreement.
"Good boys, now leave" Tori said letting them go.
Both guys ran as far as they could from Vega as she sits down, eating her salad like nothing had happen before realizing that we're staring at her with shocked looks on our face.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" Tori asked touching her face.
"Damn Vega, I never knew that you were such a badass. That was fuckin' hot" I said falling for her even more.
"I wasn't about to let them disrespect us like that and guys like that only understand one thing plus I didn't want you to get expel for fighting even if it was justified" Tori said smiling.
"Remind me to never piss you off" I said shaking my head.
