Hi and Merry Christmas to all of you! Sorry for the long wait, I had finals and holidays and a bunch of other bulshit excuses you won't be reading about anyway.

I apologize if it's a bit rushed, and as always I aks you to kindly leave a review telling me what you think :)

Enjoy your read!

That, right there, was the reason why I broke up with the fucker.

He's just so smug, thinking he's got everything figured out. That jerk, he actually had the nerve to ridicule me in front of the whole class. Guess who's gonna be introduced to the pointy end of my scissors very soon.

…that was a really obvious lesbian reference, and it did not help the situation in my head.

I'm so TP'ing his trailer. And Sikowitz's house for a good measure. And…

Shit!

"Oh God, I'm so sorry I bump- Oh, it's just you."

"I'm not that thrilled to be touched by you, either," I snapped back from the ground, glaring at her. Vega stood over me, rolling her eyes before offering me a hand which I pointedly ignored.

"What the fuck was that in the class, by the way?" She raised her eyebrow as I got up, dusting off my pants.

"What was what?"

"Don't play dumb with me, princess, you know what I'm talking about. Why'd you kiss me?"

Now she had two of her brows up, fixing me with a look that screamed 'how did you get so stupid'.

"That was not me kissing you, it was my character. The scene called for it," she smirked arrogantly, "of course, it's not that you'd really understand, seeing as the only thing you get is cheap horror movies."

That was it.

I know that over the years I've said and did some stuff that made people think that I wanted to physically hurt Vega. But I'm not that screwed up.

At least I thought I wasn't, but the fact that I was currently holding her up against the wall by her throat kinda told otherwise.

"J-Jade, what the- let me go!" She choked up, flailing around. Her hands went up to dig the nails into mine, and I cringed. How did they do it in the movies anyway? That fucking hurt.

I chose to ignore the pain and got up in her face, snarling.

"You chose the wrong girl to mess with," I hissed, almost touching her nose with mine.

She smelled so good.

Goddamit, focus!

Tori stopped fighting and went completely still as I stared her down. Something flickered in those deep chocolate eyes, and it looked an awful lot like what I felt at the moment.

Which was lust.

I did say there was a good kind of pain, and her nails were definitely that.

They would feel amazing in my back as I pinned her to the bed…

My breathing got heavy as the mixture of arousal and anger made my head spin, and Tori biting her lower lip as she eyed me didn't exactly lessen the intensity of the situation.

"Jade," she whispered, her hands sliding oh so slowly down my arms, hesitating. "Can I ask you something?"

I grunted.

Yeah, smooth, I know.

In my defense, all the blood rushed down from my brain to my other… regions.

"About that… tension thing – it's not us, right? There's nothing going on, is there," she finished in a rush.

I assessed the predicament we were in.

By now, her hands were loosely placed on my shoulders, while I still held her by her neck, without squeezing. Our bodies were melted together, and if I moved my thigh a bit higher, I would be meeting little Vega up close and personal. My mouth was millimeters from hers, and I could smell mint and cherry from her breath.

Yeah. Nothing going on, sure. PG rated stuff.

But she was basically giving me an out. Or she was giving it to herself.

"Yeah, I mean no, nothing is going on," I breathlessly replied, taking a step back from her. She nodded vigorously at that, deeply breathing in and out and not looking at me.

"Well, this has been fun," she let out a nervous chuckle, hugging herself. "I think I had enough humiliation for the day, so I'm just gonna… yeah," with that, she turned and practically ran to the parking lot.

I just watched her, amused. The girl was a spaz at times.

And it was too cute.

She was cute.

No, I shouldn't be thinking it.

And why the fuck not?

I narrowed my eyes as I stared in the direction Vega ran off to.

Why shouldn't I be thinking about her that way, exactly? Because people will frown upon that? Um, hello, performing arts school – and most non-judgmental one at that. Because it's wrong? Yeah right, like I care about that.

The only reason I wasn't admitting anything is because I thought Vega hated me. But after what just happened I was more than sure she wanted me back.

Interesting.

Oh. My. God.

Okay, first of all, I really don't like Beck right now.

And Sikowitz. And the fact that I'm attending Hollywood Arts.

Because I wouldn't be forced to kiss my enemy at the normal school.

Alright, so I wasn't forced to kiss her, but I was made to act out a love scene with her and then I was humiliated in front of all my friends.

However, me getting turned on by Jade trying to kill me certainly was the highlight of my day.

What is wrong with me? I mean, she grabbed me by my throat. A normal person reacts with fear, not with flood in… well, down there. Or there could be flood, but from peeing oneself out of horror, not from getting aroused!

Alright, Tori, just calm down. I just need some time to myself. And a hot shower to get this horrible day off me.

The hot water hit my tense muscles, and I sighed with relief. Ah, yes. Now some green-tea scented shower gel…

As I was soaping up, my thoughts inevitably led to a certain raven-haired girl.

She looked so angry today when she attacked me. And it was totally out of nowhere, too!

…Okay, I admit it, I said pretty bad things that provoked her.

You know, I am getting really good at that. Provoking Jade, I mean.

But back to her jumping me. She actually kinda hurt my throat. I scrubbed my neck a bit, closing my eyes. Her grip is so strong. And she just had to wear a sleeveless shirt today. Her arm muscles flexed as she squeezed, and can I just say 'whoa'? The girl must do some working out. She looked all toned and muscled, but not in a butch way, more like a panther. Slim and deadly and sexy…

The pounding at the door tore me out of my thoughts, and also made me notice that my hands were going bad, naughty places.

Great. Now I was about to subconsciously masturbate thinking of Jade West.

The knocking grew louder and my patience grew thinner.

"Be right there!" I called out, irritated, as I shut off the water and hastily grabbed a towel, wrapping it around me. It was most probably Trina, who forgot her keys and now made it her goal to break down our front door. How are we related, seriously?

You know, I love my sister, but every time someone can't believe we share a bloodline, I feel so relieved.

"Enough already, Trina!" I snapped as I threw the door open and then I immediately forgot how to breathe.

Jade – and that's exactly who it was – apparently did, too, because she stood there with her mouth hanged open, taking me in. I blushed deeply from head to toe, remembering the state I was in. Naked. Well, not really naked, since I had a towel wrapped around me, but it was a pretty short one.

And also a traitor, since it chose this exact moment to fall apart, leaving me bare.

The piece of cloth hit the floor with a soft thud, and Jade drew in a sharp breath as her eyes went wide.

I just went still, paralyzed.

So we just stood there, in complete silence, with Jade devouring me with her eyes and me doing zero to try and cover myself.

Wait.

Jade didn't crack any sarcastic remark about my clumsiness.

Jade didn't laugh and point at me.

Jade didn't start taking photos to post it on the Slap.

Jade was staring at me practically drooling.

Holy cow. So Beck might have been right on the money with the whole Sexual Tension trope.

We've been silent for quite an amount of time now. Should I say something?

"Uh, Jade, I-I didn't know you were com-"

I guess Jade had other plans for me that didn't involve a lot of talking. With her lips hungrily attacking mine, it was hard to talk, anyway.

I had no other choice but to respond, which I did, eagerly, might I add.

Somehow, we wound up on the couch, her clothes ended up on the floor and I couldn't stop moaning as Jade kept licking and biting my neck. I knew she had a vampire fetish.

I racked my nails down her back, and she groaned, her hand going down to grab my leg and lifting it so I could wrap it around her waist. That made me completely open up to her, and I mewled at the contact with her exposed stomach. She noticed it and ground down on me, making me cry out.

I was already wet from thinking about her in the shower, and our fevered make out session added up to that, so right now I was seconds away from exploding. Jade obviously wasn't in the mood for slow and soft, either, which worked just fine for me.

However, that little common sense I still had left was screaming at me to stop and think whether it was such a good idea.

"Jade, I-" Cut off again by her expert lips as her fingers danced on my stomach. Her tongue battled with mine, and I moaned as it flicked the roof of my mouth. She tore away from it, leaving hot, burning kisses along my collarbone, going to my ear and biting it softly, her body nestling between my legs, and oh my God her finger just traced the outlines of my pussy lips.

What was it I wanted to talk about, again? Because with the way her hand was caressing my breast and her lips on my skin, I didn't want to talk ever. All I wanted was this to keep going, preferably forever.

She bit my pulse point at the same moment her fingers entered me, and I cried out in pleasure.

Jade set a fast pace, making sure to brush my clit every time she penetrated me. I grasped at her, scratching her back and squeezing her with my legs, urging her to go deeper.

"Ah, Jade, so good… Don't stop, please," I begged her. She responded by going even faster, and it wasn't long before she had me calling her name as I came, hard. Jade shuddered, moaning as she apparently came with me, although I don't know how she managed that one. Maybe she was also touching herself? Or she rubbed against me while we… You know what, it doesn't matter, what matters is us laying here blissfully happy.

"Wow," was all I could get out as I tried to calm my racing heart. Jade gave me a satisfied smile which I returned.

"Wow is right, Vega."

"Probably wasn't what you had in mind when you came here, huh," I said, breathless. She shrugged.

"I was hoping we'd end up fucking, but I certainly didn't expect you to open the door naked."

"I wasn't naked when I opened the door!" I exclaimed defensively. "You just used your secret… towel-dropping powers on me!"

"Sure," was her nonchalant reply.

"Wait," I frowned at her, confused. "You were hoping we'd end up sleeping together?"

"Fucking, Vega, it's called fucking, and there's no amount of sleep involved," she said, completely missing the point.

"Jade," I said sternly. Although I probably didn't look strict and proper, with me being naked and thoroughly satisfied.

"Vega," she shot back, mocking me. I pouted, and she sighed before caving in.

"Look, Tori, it's apparently obvious to the whole school that we want each other. And it occurred to me that all of them are right, so why should we miss out on the fun?"

"Fun?" I dumbly replied. She rolled her eyes.

"After you ran away from me at school, I did some thinking and realized that there's nothing wrong with wanting you."

"Why thanks," I said sarcastically.

"You're welcome. So I drove here to talk to you about us, and now here we are."

"There was no amount of talking involved."

"Well there was a lot of screaming on your part, does that count?" She asked, raising a pierced eyebrow at me as she smirked. I blushed.

"You did a fair share of the screaming, too," Jade just chucked at me and got up, putting her clothes back on.

"Whatever you say, princess." She grabbed her t-shirt from the TV, smirking at it. "Wow, Vega, you get really excited when you have sex."

Yep. Blushing even more.

"In my defense, I don't really remember how it got there," I said, smiling at her.

"Probably around that time you almost tore it apart trying to get it off me." She smoothed down the t-shirt and turned to look at me. "Has anyone ever told you that you look cute with tousled hair?" She asked huskily. I grinned.

"Not really."

"Well, you do."

"Thanks," I whispered, chewing on my lip as she kneed beside me, tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Ugh, Tori," she groaned, "you have got to stop doing that, because I want to take you every time you bite your lip." I gave her a half-smile, and she groaned again. "I just revealed a gigantic piece of manipulation material, didn't I."

"A-ha," I said, absent-mindedly.

We stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. I slowly lifted my hand and cupped her cheek, stroking it tenderly. Her eyes were so stormy blue. I always thought Jade had the most beautiful eyes, but up close they were breathtaking, just like their owner.

I began to lean in, ready for her full lips on mine and for us to spend the whole night in bed, when suddenly she shot to her feet, completely throwing me off balance.

"So…" Jade was clearly unsure of herself. "I think I'm gonna get going, Wouldn't wanna get stuck in traffic, so…"

"Yeah! Yeah, sure," I got up with her, suddenly feeling self-conscious as I grabbed the towel and hid behind it. "I guess I'll see you at school, then."

"Of course. Well, um, bye. And thanks for the, you know."

It was so painfully awkward. How did we get there?

"Okay, you too. Bye." She nodded, closing the door behind her as she left.

She wanted a fling, and I wanted her. That was how we got there.

So, with sexual tension out of the way, Tori thinks Jade doesn't need her anymore. Or does she?
