038. Touch


She admitted it, she indulged herself every now and then. A slight brush here, a hand on her arm here, it was like Cat was a drug and she needed a fix every now and then to keep herself going.

The hug after Well Wishes, sitting behind her in the giant cupcake so her legs brushed Cat's back occasionally, performing Andre's song at Christmas, the whole detention ordeal, dog-sitting, the trip to Mona Patterson's house, the Platinum Music Awards (boy, that had been fun), the eyebrow incident. They had been getting more frequent for a while, until finally after Beck's movie when they had sat across from each other, hands linked together between the two of them.

Now Jade had the liberty to touch her whenever she wanted, and she took great pride in doing so. It made her smile, just to be able to grab Cat in a hug whenever the fancy struck her, and Cat would just giggle and snuggle against her.

Sometimes she did it without even seeing who was around; for some odd reason, Beck kept continuing to crop up at these times. She wasn't doing it on purpose to be a bitch, he just seemed to have horrible timing. At the wrong place at the wrong time a lot.

Speaking of Beck, he had been hanging out with Robbie a lot more lately, which seemed to be making the latter feel better. He was smiling again, real smiles, and every now and then he laughed. It had been odd, seeing a gloomy Robbie sulk around, tossing envious glances at the two of them, but now he was more back to normal, albeit not totally.

Cat had been a little worried about Robbie, and although she hated to admit, so had Jade. That didn't mean she hadn't been jealous though. She had growled as much in Cat's ear when she'd caught Cat watching Robbie with concern in her eyes, but Cat had just shot her a raised eyebrow and nuzzled her head deeper against Jade's shoulder.


Hints of Reck? Sort of, I guess. They don't actually get together until the very end of college.
