Jade's POV.
I woke to the sound of Tori pushing the door open, blinking a few times I saw it was a little after three in the morning, the room was pitch black minus the small amount of light coming through the crack in the bathroom door.
"Tor?"
"Shh, go back to sleep babe. Just coming in to put things on the charger," she said slipping into bed beside me.
"Where'd you go?"
"Just to get some water," she said before kissing my cheek, curling against me as I rolled onto my side.
When I woke the next morning, Tori wasn't in bed, which is strange cause she always wakes me for school. Her alarm was going off on the bedside table.
I rolled to her side of the bed, slapping her phone so it would shut up and pushed myself off the bed.
I listened out for her, frowning when I couldn't hear her in the bathroom.
"Tori?" I huffed, pulling an over-sized shirt on along with some underwear before making my way downstairs after grabbing my phone.
"Tori, seriously, where the hell are you?" I grumbled and noticed a note on the kitchen table beside a coffee cup that was steaming.
Frowning, I set my phone down beside the note and picked it up.
"Jade, I will be back in time to pick you up for school. Be ready. I love you. Yours always, Tori."
I read aloud and pouted, grabbing the coffee and taking a sip of it before looking down at my phone to see a message on the screen.
Tori: New Message. (23Mins Ago)
Swiping my phone unlocked, I smiled at the message.
It was only a simple 'I love you', but it made my heart skip.
I sat on the couch, dressed and ready to go both our phones and my bag with me so we could leave as soon as Tori got here and heard the rumble of my car idling in the driveway.
I stood, slinging my bag onto my shoulder, making my way over to the door when I saw Tori push it open, smiling at me with two large cups of Jet Brew in a cardboard tray.
"Hi!" She kissed my cheek and handed me the tray before running into the downstairs bathroom, yelling out to go wait in the car.
I frowned, grabbing one of the cups, taking a sip of it, standing at the door instead of going outside.
"Tori, where the hell were you?" I asked, leaning across the hall of the doorway, waiting for Tori to come back out of the bathroom.
"Tyson needed help with something," she called out over the sounds of the toilet flushing and the sink turning on. "Did you grab my phone? I forgot it in my hurry this morning," she said as she pulled the door open, trying her hands on her jeans.
"Yeah, it's in my bag, are you okay? You're very awake right now," I said, raising an eyebrow.
"Just had a lot of coffee, I finished three already this morning," she said, reaching for the other cup in the tray I was holding, but I held it up out of her reach, smirking.
"Pay the toll if you want it," I said, watching as her eyes flickered to my lips and back to the cup.
She stepped forward, gripping my shirt, bunching it in her hands before pulling me into a kiss that knocked the breath out of my lungs. "I love you, Jade," she said softly, giving me a few soft pecks over my lips, cheek and the tip of my nose.
I lowered my arm, holding the coffee out towards her before kissing her one last time. "Let's get to school," I said with a soft sigh.
"Mm, okay," she said, kissing my cheek before heading down towards the door. "Do we want to go out for lunch today? We have a free class after it," she said as I pulled the house door shut behind me, making sure it was locked.
"I need to get that assignment done, babe, but you can come eat with me in the room while I finish it off?" I offered.
Tori nodded along to what I was saying as I slipped into the driver's seat, sitting my coffee between my thighs as I pulled my seatbelt on after tossing my bag onto the back seat.
I looked over at Tori who was pulling her own seatbelt on before I grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckle.
She smiled at me, her eyes twinkling lightly as the sunshine reflected off them.
Her hand rested on my thigh as I pulled the car out of the driveway and out onto the road, ready for the short drive to school.
Tori's phone started blasting it's ringtone when we were halfway through Sikowitz's class, and she blushed brightly as she dug through my bag for it, pulling it out, she silenced the device, sitting it between her thighs as Sikowitz only frowned slightly at her before continuing on with her lesson.
"The hell was that?" I whispered when our teacher was distracted.
She looked down at her phone to see she had a missed call from Tyson and showed me the screen before putting it her phone back on her lap.
I looked up at the clock on the wall as I rested my hand on her thigh, squeezing it lightly. She settled against me and laid her head on my shoulder, her hand covering the screen of her phone as it kept lighting up.
Frowning, I bit my lip, not wanting to start something and be wrong about it, but my anxiety was getting the best of me.
Tori had been distant all morning, even last night when she came back to bed after apparently getting a drink.
I swallowed my worries and tried to focus on the rest of the class, thankful that lunch was coming up and I could get a coffee and relax for a few minutes before needing to dive into an assignment I had for my music class.
Tori followed me into the room I was using to finish my assignment and pulled me into a tight hug, kissing my cheek and letting me know she'd stay quiet so I could focus.
This is why I loved her. When I was trying to study with Beck, he tried to be quiet, but that quickly turned into him getting so into his video games that the silence was long forgotten.
Or he'd try to distract me with other things.
But when I looked up halfway through working on the project, Tori had her headphones in, her head leaned back with eyes closed and her fingers silently drumming against her stomach.
I took a sip of my coffee before running my fingers along the keys of the piano, the chords scaling down to the low notes.
I huffed and picked up my pen, throwing it at Tori.
She jumped when it hit her leg and pulled her headphones out, looking guilty. "Sorry, was I humming out loud?"
"No, I just can't focus right now." I pouted, and she smiled, setting her phone on the floor before making her way over to stand behind me.
Her hands slowly kneaded against my shoulders, my body relaxing thoroughly at her touch.
Her hands are magic.
"I'm sorry for being so strange today, I know you've noticed, and I thank you for being patient and putting up with me. I think, when we get home, I'll tell you what's going on," she said softly, pressing a kiss to the side of my head. "Nothing bad, I promise. It's a surprise."
My heartbeat slowed at her promise of everything being okay. She wasn't leaving me. That's all I've had on my mind all day. Well, since we got together.
Tori had been secretive all day, and coming home to her being so excited, practically dragging me out of the car. It was hard for my mind to process all at once.
But, at her pleases, and begging, I allowed her to blindfold me before we entered the house.
She guided me carefully to the couch, taking my bag from me before I sat down.
"Don't take the blindfold off, I'm just going to grab your surprise," she said, kissing me softly.
It was another minute or so of hearing the front door open and Tori's hushed whispering but than the door was pushed shut and footsteps were coming closer.
"Ty's here," Tori said, making me nod slowly.
"We're not having a threesome," I said with a smirk, making them both laugh softly.
"Not my type, remember, Morticia?" Ty's voice said, making me jump a little. He was right beside me, I felt the lounge dip a little and his hand on my wrist. "Don't kill me, this was Tori's idea," he said again, and I felt a weight on my lap before he slowly lowered my hand onto something very soft.
"I swear, this better be a prank," I said nervously and brought my other hand up to slowly pull the blindfold up, but not looking at my lap, only to see Tori holding her phone up, recording this most likely.
I glanced down and almost threw it across the room but protectively pulled it closer.
"Oh my god," I whispered. "This is a prank, right?"
"No, baby, he's yours," Tori said softly, and Tyson quickly got up, moving to take over holding the phone while Tori sat beside me, stroking the rabbit softly between the ears.
I set the black and white rabbit on her lap, my heart racing. She'd gotten me a rabbit. I heaved in air and ran into the downstairs bathroom, splashing water on my face to try and make sure this was reality.
"J-Jade, you okay?" Tori's hesitant voice called out.
I came back out of the bathroom and scooped the ball of fluff up out of her arms before pressing a kiss to her lips.
"This is real life," I said, a few tears slipping down my cheeks. "I-I thought you were fucking leaving me," I chuckled and hugged her tightly with one arm.
"Oh, Jade," she said softly and kissed all over my face. "No, I'd never leave you."
"And that is my cue to leave," Tyson said, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Thank you," we both said before he nodded, setting the phone on the coffee table and making his leave.
We made sure the rabbit, who was yet to be named, was comfy and happy down in its hutch by the back door.
When we were in bed, Tori curled against me doing some homework on her laptop while I edited all the footage from today and our day out yesterday.
Everything was perfect.
I ran a hand through Tori's hair, smiling softly as her eyes fluttered closed at the touch.
I glanced at the bedside close and noticed it was still early, smiling, I leaned over to press a kiss to her cheek before shifting my laptop on my lap so I could stretch my legs out. "Do you mind if I put my headphones in and listen to music while you do your homework?" I asked, rubbing her lower back.
"No, go for it, I'm almost done then I think I'll head to bed," she said softly, looking up at me from her slouched position.
"I think this is almost ready to post," I said, smiling nervously.
"Hey, whatever happens, we can continue or not, it's up to you, baby," she yawned and rubbed her eyes.
God, I can't wait till I can marry her.
