Here Cums The Bride
"VEGA!"
Tori jumped up from the small settee she had been perched on while waiting for Jade. She held the soft, blue material of her gown up to walk across the West mansion hallway more easily. She reached the bedroom door and walked in. What the hell is it now? the Maid of Honor asked herself.
While not a Bridezilla, Jade had become increasingly edgy and short-tempered as the big day neared. Especially after Beck flew back to Vancouver for a screen test a few days before. Tori hoped his flight back wasn't being delayed. 'He should've been back here yesterday!'
Now, the morning before the 1 PM ceremony, the latest 'crisis' had erupted. In truth, it was far worse than Tori ever dreamed.
"Yes, Jade," Tori asked tiredly as she came into Jade's room. The bedroom was surprisingly bright for someone who wasn't familiar with it – Tori remembered thinking it was an April Fool's Joke the first time she saw it. The double doors leading to the small porch were open, letting in lots of sun and a warm breeze. Tori absently saw the pool and the spa in the back yard.
Turning her attention to Jade, sitting on her bed facing the double doors in her long, white wedding dress with the wide black sash around her waist, Tori could see this was something big. The plunging neckline in the back exposed her toned back but also showed the tenseness of the bride-to-be's muscles. As Tori came around the bed to face the other girl, she saw Jade's hand was clenched around her PearPhone so tightly, her knuckles were white and Tori actually expected the case to crack. Then she looked up to Jade's face.
The expression was a mix of anger and growing sadness. Jade's eyes were brimming with tears and she just looked at Tori, pleading silently for help. She held out her phone and Tori gently pried her fingers loose to take it.
"I was texting Beck to see where the hell he was but got the…email be…before I s-s-sent my…" The screen was open to Jade's email and Tori saw the note was from Beck. She glanced at Jade who nodded her permission for Tori to read it then scrolled through a relatively long letter that boiled down to the fact that Beck had intentionally missed his flight and wouldn't be back for the wedding. In fact, he wouldn't be back at all. He was staying in Canada to work in film up there in Vancouver and Toronto.
'I'm tired of the rat race in Hollywood. I can't live there anymore.'
That line summed up most of the letter. At the very end was a short line inviting Jade to move north. But not a single sorry or anything like remorse, much less an apology. And no mention of affection of any kind.
"He's just now telling you this?! What the hell is wrong with him?! He was supposed to land in like…" Tori checked the time on the phone, "Like twenty minutes! He had to know a long time before and… I can't believe this!"
"Bastard!" Jade said. "There's no way in hell I am going to Canada! He knows that! Fucking bas…ba…" The rest was drowned by her tears.
Not even an 'I'm sorry'! Tori thought. Or 'I still love you.' Or anything else. Asshole! About to start calling Beck names and wanting to beat him up, Tori quickly sat next to Jade and wrapped her in a hug. Even as she pulled Jade to her, she absently noted the improved, streakless mascara the darker girl was wearing.
'Not that it matters,' Tori thought. Aloud she whispered, "I'm so sorry, Jade. He doesn't know what a fool he is! You deserve better." A pause then Tori added the tired sobriquet, "It'll be alright…"
A quiet, "When?"
"It'll take time…"
"God, it hurts so much! I never…"
Tori started to cry, "I know. I'm so sorry…"
They sat in silence, Tori holding Jade in what she hoped was a comforting embrace, the tenseness under Jade's warm skin slowly relaxing. Jade stopped crying but did not pull away, her face still pressed into Tori's near shoulder and her arms around the Latina's waist. Soon, Tori felt a gentle, rhythmic vibration and knew the emotional toll had caught up to Jade as she was sleeping, her head pillowed on Tori's breast.
Tori's mind wandered to the present, away from the near-murderous thoughts she had about Beck as she glanced down at the girl's head resting on her. 'I wonder if it feels as good for her as it did when I had to play that narcoleptic astronaut. She was so firm and soft…' She shook her head, 'So not the time…'
It had been almost an hour since Tori came in and she knew Cat and the rest would be wondering what was going on. She took Jade's phone and used the former Goth's password, Scissoring#1, to unlock it so she could let Cat know. She ended with her text with, 'Don't call. Jade's a wreck and resting now. Just let everyone know the wedding is…postponed.'
The response came back, 'K-k! I can't believe Beck… Call me when Jade's awake!'
Then she found the contact for Jade's mother. She quickly texted her, explaining what had happened.
Satisfied, Tori slowly laid back, bringing Jade with her until they were lying across the bedspread, their heads near the veiled train that had been laid out for Jade.
As Jade nestled into Tori, the singer thought, 'I could get used to this…'
But then, remembering the Canadian's betrayal, her thoughts turned back to Beck and darkened. Miserable rat bastard! I can't believe him! To break up on your wedding day by email… He's got big brass balls. Then she snickered, And probably a teeny thingie to go with them.
Jade began to mutter against Tori. Most was unintelligible so Tori tuned it out until she heard her name.
"…Tori is such a good…" mumble "…so sweet and…" mumble, mumble, mumble "…" Fading into silence then, "Should marry her…" mumble "…she would never do this…I…" mumble "Tori and…"
Tori what? Dammit! What is she dreaming? Her thoughts were interrupted when a hand gently fell on her other breast. "Oh!" Tori quietly exclaimed. That feels good…
The hand started to move and began massaging Tori through her Maid of Honor gown. Even as she tried not to, Tori's hand slid down Jade's soft skin to the white lace and over the black sash to rest on Jade's firm ass. As Jade's hand continued to rub her, Tori began to gently squeeze that supple ass cheek. She closed her eyes to enjoy the moment while it lasted. She knew she shouldn't but couldn't resist that round firm butt she had admired since their sophomore year in high school.
Her eyes shot open when soft lips pressed hers and a warm, wet tongue slid along her lips. Her mouth automatically opened and her tongue began to caress and taste the intruder. As the kiss deepened, she looked over to see Jade looking at her.
Pulling back, she gasped then asked, "Jade? What the hell is… I mean, I… Well, the kiss is great and… But now is not the time… Is it… Why… Shutup!"
With a small chuckle, Jade whispered, "That's my Tori." Her breath ghosted across Tori's mouth, further exciting the Latina. "Tori, I need you to do something for me… I feel so low and unloved right now… Please love me? Please, I need you to make love to me!"
The desperate note in Jade's voice tore at the singer's heart. She was equally torn between her own desire and guilt over taking advantage of Jade in her pain. Even if Jade was begging for her to do so.
A few years earlier, when they were college roommates, Tori knew she had to be honest with Jade. Knowing how Jade was accepting of the LGBTQ community both in high school and in college, Tori came out of the closet with her.
"Jade, I have had rotten luck with guys. I tried having sex with a girl and it was so much better." Seeing the puzzled look in Jade's eyes, Tori quickly added, "I'm not coming on to you. I just needed to tell you that I prefer girls. I hope that's not a problem…"
Jade told her it was okay with her, just to let her know when Tori needed the room. Unknown to Tori, deep inside, Jade admitted to herself that she was very curious what it would be like to have sex with Tori Vega. And, knowing Vega, it would be more love-making than just sex.
All that raced through Jade's mind as she kissed Tori again. This was definitely more heated and full of the film maker's lust and need. She whispered into Tori's open mouth, "Tori, I need this. I need to feel like I have value, not just some slut rag Beck can use for his pleasure then throw away."
Tori nodded slowly, still unsure but wanting to help ease Jade's pain. She returned the kiss then began to kiss Jade's ears and down her neck.
"Toriii…" Jade sighed contentedly as Tori sucked on her earlobe with the diamond stud. She moved back down Jade's throat, kissing, licking and gently suckling the soft, warm skin. She kissed Jade again, her tongue sliding into Jade's mouth like she belonged.
Then came the other side, as she resumed licking the shell of Jade's ear then down to the lobe and throat. Tori made a point of not giving Jade a hickey. Not for a one-time bout of comfort sex. But she was going to make Jade feel as good as she possibly could.
Pushing Jade back slightly, Tori's hands gently grasped the puffy off-shoulders of the white gown and slid them down Jade's arms, slowly exposing to lovely breasts. With the low-cut back, Jade naturally didn't bother with a bra so the firm, large globes with their perfect brown areola and hard eraser nipples were bared to Tori's eager, admiring gaze.
With memories of 'sleeping' on Jade's breasts in that insipid play and grasping them to fit into a silly, giant hamburger, Tori slowly lowered her mouth to the top of the other woman's cleavage. Her tongue blazed a wet trail around one mound as she spiraled to the peak with wet licks and sucking kisses. At the apex, she wrapped her lips around the nipple and began sucking and licking that hard nubbin. Then Tori ran her tongue down the slope and across the narrow valley before beginning the wonderful circular path to the peak of Jade's other breast to lick and suckle on that had nipple. She loved the feel of Jade's hard nipple as her tongue caressed and played with each one.
Finally, after sucking each of Jade's nipples twice, Tori got up and off the moaning woman.
Tori knelt before Jade and took off the dress shoes only to kiss the stockinged arch of her right foot. The feel of the silken thread was exciting to Tori and she began to lick the other girl's foot. Suckling the encased toes from one side to the other, Tori moved to the other foot and did the same. Then she started to lick up Jade's shin until she reached the knee and returned to the other leg to do the same.
Much as she loved the texture of the material on her lips and tongue, the singer wanted to taste the unadorned skin of Jade's legs. She reached further up under the skirt to undo the snaps on the old school garter belt and peeled the stockings off each leg.
Moving around a bit, Tori licked the inside of Jade's right knee, turning the jilted woman's moans into a louder cry. Tori moved up the inside of that thigh, tasting the damp muskiness of Jade as she neared the mound hidden between those silky thighs.
Reaching the apex of Jade's legs, Tori could dimly see the white undies (never panties) and the aroma was heady that close under the skirt. Nuzzling the silky undies, Tori was almost overwhelmed by the pungent, arousing scent of Jade's wetness soaking through her underwear. The wet smeared on her nose, lips and chin.
Before she resumed her teasing on Jade's other leg, the singer couldn't resist running her tongue up the mound hidden under that sodden material. The salty, tangy flavor almost had her pulling the cloth aside to dive into Jade. But this was about making Jade feel more than just release.
Jade felt that soft, firm tongue across her covered sex and moaned. If Tori was this good without actually touching her…
Moving back slightly, Tori ran her tongue tip along the back of Jade's left knee before slowly working her way up that wet thigh. Muffled by the material covering her head, Tori could faintly hear Jade moan her name several times.
Tori licked along the crease between her partner's leg and her pussy, using the edge of the now soaked material as a guide – like she needed one. Then the other side before she reached up and peeled the wet material away from Jade and down her legs to join the shoes and stockings on the floor.
After pushing those shapely legs apart, Tori licked around the perineum then up the crease on the right side of her target. Above Jade's pussy, she traced the outline of the near perfect triangle of pubic fur, slipping her tongue tip through the curls to get at the nectar trapped there. Back down the other crease and then her tongue slid straight up from Jade's perineum to finally caress her pouting outer labia. Licking each lip slowly, Tori finally pushed her tongue between and into Jade.
Tori almost swooned with finally tasting Jade. It was better than she had ever fantasized about. Knowing this was a one-time thing, Tori took a moment to savor it all. But, while savoring, her tongue caressed inside Jade, bringing forth more and more nectar.
Jade's hand fell on the back of her head under the dress, holding Tori to her pussy. Tori happily accepted the demand and continued to tongue her hot, wet flesh. Her tongue slid up to find the small, hard pearl emerging from the clitoral sheath. Careful not to shock the small, sensitive organ, Tori slowly suckled it.
For a girl with such a hard exterior, Jade was surprisingly sensitive and came shortly after Tori began to suck on her clit. As she cried out and spasmed in her ecstasy, Tori lapped up the froth of the darker girl's climax. But Tori didn't stop until Jade pushed at the bulge under her dress, pushing Tori away. "Please…"
Pulling back, Tori sat on her heels, her hair thoroughly mussed from being under the heavy gown. Jade snickered then said, "C'mere…"
Tori crawled up and they resumed heated kisses until Jade said, "I want you…"
Wordlessly, the jilted bride directed her Maid of Honor to pull her gown up, remove the lacy panties and squat above her face. Tori lowered herself onto Jade's face and was soon ecstatically enjoying Jade's initial, novice lesbian lovemaking. Still, as unpracticed as Jade was, she managed to mark 'prey'. Tori squeaked at the pleasantly painful sensation before the waves of pleasure rolled over her. Soon, the neophyte cunilinguist somehow hit the right spot inside Tori, setting her off.
As Tori spurted into Jade's mouth, Jade realized she liked the salty, musky flavor. Much better than the milky mess Beck 'gifted' her.
Tori collapsed next to Jade who crawled into her arms to nod off. Tori did as well.
Less than a half hour after the two exhausted sex partners collapsed, there came a knocking on the door, rousing the two half-naked girls. "Jade? It's Mom. I got stuck in traffic thanks to an accident ahead of me... Anyway, I heard about that louse. You okay?"
"Um…just a minute, Mom. I…"
Jade quickly tucked her boobs in and kicked their underwear and stockings under her bed. Tori stood on shaky legs, trying to smooth the wrinkled satin of her gown as Jade took a couple of faltering steps to her door.
"Mom, I'm…not alright. That…bastard…" She glanced at Tori, "But Vega helped me get through my crying. So far…"
Even as she said this, Jade fell into her mother's arms as Lily West said, "I'm so sorry sweetie. I can't believe he did this to you. I always thought he was better than this."
Tori spoke up, "So did the rest of us."
"Did you have a tantrum? The room looks like it…"
"I'm not 10, I don't do tantrums, Mom," Jade protested. "I may have gotten a little physical…" Tori coughed but didn't add anything. "But Tori helped me. We dozed off after all that and…"
"Thank you, Tori. Even if the groom is a loser, at least she picked a great Maid of Honor," Mrs. West said, her face lighting up as she smiled.
"Um…yeah… Uh, thank you," Tori said. Inwardly, she asked herself, 'Wonder how honorable she'd think I am since I just had sex with her daughter…'
"I know how Jade gets when she's upset. I hope she didn't hurt you, Tori."
Forcing herself not to wince when her thighs brushed together and her Jade-hicky brushed her other leg, she said, "No. Not at all. I'm just glad I was able to help."
"Um, thanks Vega. You don't have to stick around. I won't be much company for a while. Maybe a long while."
"You sure? I don't mind. After all, what are friends for?"
"I'm sure. I'll call you later. Anyway, someone has to head off Cat," Jade said with an attempt at a smile.
"Okay, call me and we can plan our revenge on that rat bastard!"
Jade actually chuckled as her mom smiled, "Vega called someone a bad name!"
"Oh hush!"
As Tori walked past the West women, she rested her hand on Jade's shoulder. Jade pulled her into a hug and said, "Thank you, Tori. You really helped make me feel better about myself."
"Like I said, what are…"
"Friends for," Jade finished the statement.
Just a little over a year later, not surprisingly, Tori and Jade were again prepping for a wedding – their own. All their friends and family, less Beck who no one had heard from since that fateful day, were there. The brides, both in white but one with a sky-blue sash and the other with a midnight-black sash, were radiant. It was a joyous day for all concerned, especially the two former enemies who found they were, in truth, soulmates.
