"Yeah, just play it."

Famous last words, for her at least. Jade had picked Give it Up because she wanted a fast-paced, loud song, but what she got was a song that just fit the two of them too damn well.

It hadn't been intentional, she had thought afterward, but she wasn't thinking much during the course of the song, considering Cat's beaming face was usually only inches from her own, and she kept finding herself dragged deep into the chocolate eyes.

She had always seemed to be out of breath, cliché as it sounded, but the sight of Cat, exhilarated as she sang, was sucking the oxygen out of her lungs.

For as many years as they had known each other, she and Cat had been friends, the best of friends. It was sort of odd, considering outwardly they were complete opposites, but they were actually more similar than people realized. So the two of them had hit it off quickly and had been best friends ever since.

But never had Jade seen Cat in this way, this breathless, gorgeous Cat Valentine was affecting her like never before. The feeling of just wanting to crush their lips together, to let her hands roam over Cat's whole body, and just soak her in, it honestly scared her. She'd never had this kind of feeling for Beck before; sure, she loved him, but this was something entirely different.

And it hurt, physically. Afterward, even more out of breath than she had been before, Jade resisted the urge to grab Cat in a hug. Jade West didn't hug Cat, Cat Valentine hugged Jade. But she didn't, and Jade couldn't help but feel disappointed.

When they sat down, Jade couldn't stop herself from watching Cat out of the corner of her eye, ignoring the burning feeling in the pit of her stomach. She didn't really understand why she was feeling what she was, but she had a sinking feeling she knew exactly what it was.

The scariest part was, she wasn't scared at all that she had just fallen for Cat Valentine, her best friend.

In case you didn't pick up on it, this is where I got the idea for the title.
