Chapter 13 - The First Date

Jade left Tori in the shower, going home to meet Cat and make sure that Tori wouldn't be let in on her surprise. She didn't want Tori to feel abandoned, though, so she left her a small note. Tori was letting the warmth of the shower wash over her body, and the imagination of Jade caressing her free her of all her mental trouble. She was finally certain of everything.

"If my family doesn't accept me, or my friends, then fuck them. I've got Jade, and honestly, she is all I want and need. So if it came down to me and her, and having to struggle for the rest of our lives just to make it, then I'd take that in a heartbeat over happiness and family anyday. Besides, I'll be happy with her, so all I'll really be missing is family. But then again, we'll be family, and we can adopt and build like a lot of gays and lesbians. And of course, if our friends don't accept us, then we can just find new friends. Besides, Cat is on our side, and Beck. And André seemed pretty cool with the idea, I think. I never actually saw his reaction before everything happened last night. And Robbie, well, he's a friend, but no one I'm close to. So losing him will hurt, but it most definately won't be the end of the world."

Tori washed her body with the cotton candy body wash and shampoo, allowing herself a moment to be thankful for Cat, and everything she had done. For one, she had prompted the girls to get together. Without her, then none of this would have happened, but Tori was still glad it had. Two, when Tori "broke up" with Jade to protect her, Cat showed just how much she could be trusted and how great a friend she was by keeping Jade sane enough until things worked themselves out. And she forgave Tori once the truth had finally come through. And third, she was more than willing to help with the destruction of the girl who had caused all this in the first place. Had Jessie not interfered, then Tori would have never done what she had. David and Holly wouldn't know, and Tori would be safe and sound at school, instead of cowering like a hurt puppy away from how she thought people might react. She would still have her family, her own bed and clothes, etc.

"Hmm, wait a moment. I don't have anything to wear tonight. Crap. I mean, I guess I could borrow some of Cat's clothes, but it won't be the same." Finally turning the water off in the shower, and stepping out, she heard the emptiness in the house. She knew nona wasn't there, and that Cat was at school, but she at least expected Jade to toy with being caught, and rush in the bathroom and start making out with her the moment the water was off. It caught Tori by surprise, and she was a little on edge after exiting the bathroom. She had one of Cat's bathrobes on, and was making her way through the house. She made her way to the kitchen, finding Jade's note for her.

My dearest Victoria

First, don't panic. I went home to get ready for tonight. I'll be back at 5, so make sure that sweet ass of yours is ready. Second, I made sure to get some clothes for you to wear from Cat, they're in the spare bedroom. I think you'll like them, I know I did. Thirdly, no matter what happens, know that I will always come back to you, and that I will never give up. You are mine, as long as you want me. You said forever wasn't enough for you, and that our lives would be a good start. I feel like that's not even a drop in a bucket compared to the amount of time I want from you. I love you, Victoria, and hope that tonight will be one you will never forget. I know it won't for me. ;) I've got something special planned, and don't even ask until we're there, or else you may ruin it. And you know how I get. Just remember your damned prome.

Forever yours,

Jadelyn

Tori was in tears halfway through the note. She knew that Jade's feeling were never easy for her, but that her writing allowed her the freedom to express it. And she had done so so elloquently, and masterfully. And then, but the time she read the last sentence, she was laughing. She regreted ruining her girlfriend's production, but did remember her in the dress. She had looked rather sexy in the dark green, and the length was perfect. Just enough to cover what's important, while keeping it interesting.

Tori walking into the spare bedroom, and as Jade had predicted, she was happy with what she found. There was a sequined blue top, and some tight dark skinny jeans. And a pair of black boots. The only problem with it, was that there was no underwear. She couldn't throw on yesterday's, and wouldn't dream of asking another girl to borrow a pair. "Hmm, I bet Jade planned this. Oh well, guess I'm going commando. Darn." Tori snapped her finger at her inner thought, "upset" that she wouldn't have any protecting from Jade's hands. Of course, ever since Jade had leaned into her, and whispered "I'll help you", all Tori wanted was Jade's hands on her body. The actions of that night had lit a fire in her, and she was intent on keeping it lit as long as possible. Tori looked to the clock, noting that she had a little over two hours to finish getting ready. She knew Cat would be with Jade after school, and that she wouldn't see her. But she wasn't sure about Nona. So she locked the door to the guest bedroom, and wrapped her body in the borrowed clothing.

"Cat, this is perfect. Thank you." Jade was looking to everything her bestfriend had brought for her. Everything requested, and a few more items Jade hadn't thought about, but after seeing them, knew would be neccessary.

"You're welcome." Cat hugged her friend, and left her to her own. She knew what Jade's plans were for the night, but wouldn't go home. She wasn't the best with secrets, and had sworn to Jade that she wouldn't let it slip. So the only thing she could do was stay away from Tori. Cat went back downstairs, getting in her car and driving away to get a Freezy Queen.

Jade was putting the finishing touches on her makeup. She kept it as simple as possible, so she could get it done quicker. Soon, she had some deep red lipstick, a dark eye shadow and a light amount of blush on her cheeks. She was wearing a pair of black jeans, a crimson top, and her usual combat boots. She added some green highlights to her hair, and gave herself a once over. Satisfied, she walked to the door, ready for her first official date with Tori Vega.

"Please, let this go right. I need her. And from the looks of it, and sounds of her family, she needs me. I'm never letting her go again, for any reason. Even if she stops fighting, I never will." Jade felt the box in her pocket, which had been another reason she wanted to leave Tori for a moment. Jade had only had a few minor roles before, and she had promised the money was to be used to further her writing. But Tori was too important, and needed it more than she did.

Tori answered the doorbell, noting that it was exactly five. Jade was punctual, if nothing else. But to Tori, she was everything else, and more. Tori looked to Jade, who had a sly smile on her face. It didn't unsettle her though, because Tori trusted Jade. She was the only one left who she could. Of course, Cat, but she was as threatening as a sick puppy. So protection from the outside world, was to be left to Jade West.

"Wow, Tori, I was right. You look great." Tori smiled. She didn't mind being called hot. But that was such a guy's word, and it really only meant "I want to get in bed with you". Pretty, beautiful, gorgeous, looking great. Those were the words that really touched her heart, and made her melt. Tori wrapped Jade up, placing a light kiss on her lips.

"My thoughts exactly. Now, you said not to ask, so I won't. But, what do I need to do?" Jade held up a blindfold. Tori eyed it for a moment, wondering what game Jade might be playing. After a moment, she turned around, and Jade had it tied around her head, nullifying her vision. Jade placed a kiss on Tori's neck before lightly biting her ear. She grabbed Tori's hand, leading her back to the car, and opening her door. After making sure Tori was in, and buckled, which Jade took extra fun in tracing Tori's body after making sure, she walked back around to her door. Opening it, she heard Tori whine. "Jade, you don't play fair."

"Hush, Tori. Now then, just listen to the music, and sing along if you'd like. Anything to distract you. It's gonna be a long ride." Jade started her CD player, and Tori instantly recognized the song. It was the same song she had done for Sophia Michelle's play. And Jade was right in her mind. Hearing Tori singing it, she knew that she was giving it extra to project the words to her. After the song, Jade stopped the car. She leaned over to Tori, placing her head on the latina's shoulder, and kissing her cheek.

"I love you too, Tori." After a quick make out session, the girls were on the road again. This time, the song for the two losers at Karaoke Dokey. They both sang, belting it out at the top of their lungs and laughing along with each other. All either girl wanted was their hands on their hips, and they would never stop staring at their - HEY. This time, when the car stopped, Tori leaned over to Jade, returning the favor from earlier. Another short make out session, and the car was going a third time.

After hearing the song from the Platinum Music Awards, which both girls sang, Jade stopped the car again. This time, the engine was stopped as well, and Jade offered a soft "We're here.". Tori reached for her blindfold, but Jade asked her to keep it on a little bit longer. Tori agreed, and she waited until Jade's hand grabbed hers and pulled her softly from the car. She heard the trunk open, close, and the Jade's hand guiding her. "So, Tori, do you know where we are?" Tori thought. She hadn't paid attention to which way the car had turned, and she couldn't hear anything familiar. And her vision was still blocked. She shook her head, and Jade let out a light laugh. It was all going according to plan. After a few moments, Jade finally allowed Tori to take off the blindfold.

When Tori's eyes caught sight of where she was, she instantly broke down. The beauty of it all was too much to handle. She was surrounded by trees, and could see a stream a little ways away. There was sunlight on them, enough that Tori could fully take in everything around her. She saw a patch of lillies and daisies, and tried to find Jade. After searching for a moment, she looked down. Jade was laying on a checkered red and white sheet, a picnic basket next to her. There was a vase with a red rose, and a few glasses with some pink lemonade. Tori laid down with Jade, looking at everything and trying to figure out where she was. But she couldn't place it.

"Jade, this is beautiful. I mean, it's got nothing on you, but wow. Where are we?"

"Thank you, Tori. It is beautiful, just like you. We're on the edge of Hollywood. When I was nine, I ran away from home. I found this place, my own secret paradise. It was here that I was inspired to write my first play, and where I found my passion. It was also here that I thought about you for the first time, in that way. That was nearly two years ago. I remember seeing Penny the zombie, and the Victoria, the perfect girl." Jade started tearing up. "I thought about why I couldn't get you out of my head. Then, two years ago, at Karaoke Dokey, with those two losers hitting on us, I finally realized what it was. I liked you, Tori. I actually liked you, and wanted you. And then the Platinum Music Awards. I don't know if you know or not, but I was watching when you and Beck almost kissed that night. And how you turned him away, because of me. It was right then, Tori, that I knew I loved you. I've never treated you right, but I feel like if you'll give me a clean slate, then I'll do my best to make it up to you for the rest of my life." Jade pulled the box out of her pocket, producing a small gold ring, a diamond sitting on top. "Victoria Dawn Vega, will you marry me?"

Tori couldn't even take in everything. The scenery alone had her teary eyed, but Jade's speech and the ring in her face got her into a full fledged, chest heaving, eyes running crying fit. It took a few moments to answer, but when she nodded her head, and offered a rather loud "YES!", which could have shattered a normal person's eardrums, the girls' lips found each others. They were in each other's arms instantly, their hands moving across their lovers' bodies. Tori realized that just like her, Jade wasn't wearing a bra. It allowed her hands the freedom to do what was both girls wanted. Her hand slid under Jade's top, cupping her breasts and playing with her nipples.

Jade, whose body had been deprived of Tori's touch since the entire Jessie incident started, fell under Tori's spell quickly. Tori's lips never deviated, never strayed away. After the girls couldn't go without breathing any more, they decided to hold the sex off, at least until they had food in them. They had eaten shortly earlier, but were still not going to chance forgetting to eat. After a few gulps of the pink lemonade, and eating a few sandwiches and some potato salad, the girls looked to each other again. Tori's curiosity got the better of her.

"Jadelyn?"

"Hmm.?"

"Why, if this place is special to you, would you bring me here? Aren't you afraid I'll ruin it?"

"No, Victoria. I know you'll respect it as much as I do, and that you'll leave it's beauty and grace alone. Except of course, for one thing." Jade got up, her top rather wrinkled after Tori had played. She shed the unneccessary clothing, and Tori looked at her in awe. Not just because of her looks. But that Jade would expose herself like that in a public place. "Oh, don't worry, Tori. We're about a quarter mile in the woods. No one will come down here. Now follow me." Tori knew what she meant. Walk beside me, do what I do. But Tori took her own top off as well, wanting to match Jade. The girls looked at each other for a moment, trying not to let their hormones get the better of the. They were failing rather miserably, so Jade decided to speed up what she was doing. She grabbed a knife from her boot, and walked to the tallest tree she could find. "Tori, everytime I came here as a child, I climbed this tree. It's special to me, just like you." Jade brought Tori into another kiss, fondling her breasts before breaking away for a moment. She took the knife, carving a crude heart into the bark of her special tree. She then carved a JW in the middle, and handed the knife to Tori. After branding the tree with a TV, she gave the knife back to Jade. Jade put the date under the heart, and an infinity sign beside it. Looking back to Tori, she grabbed her hand and led her back to the picnic blanket.

She laid Tori down softly, looking at her with awe. She kissed her before laying beside her, and intertwining their hands. Content with just laying with Tori until the sun went down, and the taking her home, Jade pulled Tori into her. But when she did, Tori's head landed too close to her breasts, and Tori's eyes couldn't look away. She grabbed one, playing lightly with one of the soft, puffy nipples, while her other hand went around Jade's back pulling her on top. Tori winked, then asked Jade a simple question. "Wanna play a game?"

"Of?"

"Truth or dare."

"I'm game."

"Okay, which one you want?"

"Dare." Tori put her finger to her mouth, "contemplating" what she wanted Jade to do. She finally looked to Jade, pulling her closer in whispering in her ear.

"You sure no one will see us?" Jade nodded. "I dare you to masturbate." Jade faked her shock, knowing where Tori was going with it. "I'll help you if you want. And in return, I want you to help me." Jade nodded, grabbing the button on her pants and pulling it, allowing herself and Tori access to work. She grabbed her fianceé's hand, and moved it along with hers down her pants. As Tori expected, Jade wasn't wearing underwear either, so hitting the target was rather easy. Tori's lips found Jade's again, and her hand was dancing with Jade's lower lips, keeping the girl's excitement on high. Tori's other hand was playing with Jade's nipples again, and soon, Jade was crying into the open air, begging for more and letting loose all the emotions she had pent up over the last week. Tori moved off her lips, moving to Jade's ear and nipping at it, while her hands moved Jade's jeans down off her hips. Tori got the combat boots off, and the dark jeans, and soon, was diving head first into Jade's core. The goth, who was tettering close to the edge, let her voice get higher and more desperate.

"Tori, Tori, YES, TORI, OH GOD YESSs, TTOOORRRIIII!" Tori finally added a few fingers in Jade's core, and her tongue was easily winning the battle with her clit. Tori's free hand started spanking Jade's ass, before stopping and just praising it's perfect proportions and firmness. Jade reached down, her hands interlacing with Tori's hair, begging her mouth and tongue to get deeper and harder, and soon, she had too much, and came on Tori, who didn't seem to mind. She did her best to clean Jade of everything, using her tongue. She even allowed Jade to taste herself off Tori's fingers. As soon as she was able, Jade flipped Tori down, not wasting a moment in returning the favor. She pulled the tight jeans off, and looked at Tori. Still out of breath, she tried to ask a simple question.

"Huhh, huhh, shit. Tori, you, huhh, trust me?" Huffing, she was finally rewarded with a nod. She looked down at Tori's bare body, and smiled. "Turn over, and get on your hands and knees." Tori looked up skeptically for a moment, before flipping and reaching the requested position. She felt Jade's chest on her back, and then one finger poking her core. Jade's free hand reached around her body, grasping her breasts and playing with the already hard nipples. Thankfully, Jade was a bit taller. So she had enough length to her that she could kiss Tori over the shoulder, while keeping her hands in place. Tori's body, being assaulted from every possible side, went into a convulsion. Jade was pumping into her core hard and fast, and squeezing her tits hard. Tori took her hand that she knew wouldn't block Jade's ability to keep on her tits, and started massaging her clit. Soon, she was crying out louder and more erratically than Jade.

"YEs, YES, OH JADE. PLEASE, JADE. YES YES. YES! MORE, HARDER. FASTER HARDER YESSSS!" Tori's body finally shook itsself to the core, her orgasm hitting hard. But Jade wasn't done. She pulled herself off Tori's body, before her lips found themselves to Tori's core. Jade's hands widened Tori's hips, and the goth's tongue started licking the inside and out of Tori. Tori screamed out more and more by the moment, before she realized that Jade was laying down, her core in Tori's face. So Tori did the only plausable thing. She laid down fully, and while Jade was still pleasuring her, started working Jade's core again. Tori thought the moment couldn't get any better, but she didn't see Jade reach into the picnic basket for one last surprise. She pulled out a large vibrator. She turned it on, placing it into Tori's dripping core, the latina crying out against it. But as much as it hurt, and the discomfort was out of place, she would never ask Jade to stop. She trusted her finaceé, plus it just felt too damned good. Tori finally came again, and reached down, grabbing the toy from Jade, and placed it on her, returning the favor. After Jade finally had enough, and actually began begging Tori to stop, the latina finally relented. At least, with the vibrator.

Once free of the additional help, Tori looked at Jade. "Okay, Jadelyn-" Tori couldn't even keep her composure. Her breathing was stressed, and shallow. But she was too horny and in love to stop any time soon. "-you're turn. Trust me?" Jade nodded. She had no idea what Tori was up to, or how the latina could possibly keep going. Tori kissed Jade, and raised her right leg. She moved her own left under it, before placing her right over Jade's left. Their cores came together, and Jade finally understood. She started grinding Tori, and their pleasured moans filled the open air again. It took until sundown at about nine PM, but the girls finally gave out. They finally got their clothes back on, and back to Jade's car. They drove back to Nona's, singing along with the rest of Jade's CD, which was full of songs Tori had sang, and even the one that Jade had sang to get Beck back. But Tori, who never asked, silently hoped that she had actually sang the song to her.

Once back at the house, the girls walked in, noticing Cat on the couch with a rather large grin. Tori didn't know Cat knew, but the instant the redhead saw the ring, she knew things had gone well. Why else would she be wearing it, or they have been gone for so long? Cat congratulated them both, and walked away for bed. She had a long day of distracting Jessie ahead of her, and she knew that now more than ever, she had to be perfect at it. But there was one last thing she needed to say. She walked up to Jade, looking at her.

"Tori, make sure she doesn't kill me." Both girls looked at her rather quizzically.

"Okay, Cat, but I don't see-"

"Beck and I are going out." Jade stood stunned for a moment.

"What?"

"Well, he said that with you two occupied, that he would be lonely. Plus he's actually kinda liked me for a long time. Plus, we're working on keeping Jessie occupied, and we were in his RV, and well, he kissed me. When I sat there for a moment, he apologized. But I kissed him back, and, oh Jadey, I'm so sorry."

"About? We broke up, and we're all friends. Beck can date whoever he wants. And besides, I'm never going back to him, so it's not like I can tell him or you no. I'm happy for you, Cat. Really, I am." Jade hugged her bestfriend, and thanked her again for everything she was doing to help. Jade walked to Tori's room, saw her on the phone, texting someone.

"Who was that?"

"André. I just told him about tonight. Well, not where we were, or the sex. Which was fucking amazing, by the way."

"I'll say, Tori. I thought our one drunken night, or the morning in the shower was fun. But damn, that wasn't anything compared to tonight. I swear, I told you you could do that whenever you wanted. And if you keep getting better at it like you are, then shit. Please, do it as much as possible, please."

"Okay then. But he knows we're engaged!" Tori's eyes sparkled at the thought. She didn't care about anything else, except that she and Jade would be together forever.

"So tell me something, Mrs. Victoria Dawn Vega West."

"What's that, Mrs. Jadelyn West Vega?"

"How's it feel?"

"Perfect, just like you." Tori kissed Jade softly, and held her tight.

"My thoughts exactly." Jade intertwined their hands, and the girls started to fall asleep.

Awwww. That's so sweet. Even without family, Tori will still be happy, right? Of course, she still has to navigate around Jessie, and all that crap. And of course, dodge Jade's family if they ever find out. So anyone with any idea where this is going? Please, R/E/R!

P.S.: AaronandSarah, I know I added this in without your permission. But as I said in the last chapter, I promise that everything in the outline will occur before this is over. If you'll just trust me, I promise it'll work out. After the way I ended chapter 12, I felt this was needed. Plus, the overview for chapter 13 was kinda light, so there wasn't alot for me to work with, so I added this as a buffer so I can combine 13 and 14 into one large chapter. Promise, it'll work out fine.
