I really should stop saying that a story is done when in actuality inspiration can hit not once but four times at any moment… Yeah, you guys read right, I got four new plot bunnies (including this chapter) for Jade and Tori enjoying their holidays together and three of those ideas aren't even technically "official" holidays.
Then again, I also wrote chapters for our favorite couple's birthdays and anniversary and technically those shouldn't count as holidays, whatever the case I'm choosing to write the ideas I came up with as a part of this saga because I didn't want to post them as separate one-shots.
So for all my U.S. Jori readers, have a happy Labor Day.
Fun Fact: In Mexico, Labor Day is on May 1st.
One thing I want to point out is that the previous chapter, officially will be considered the last one of the saga as I felt it was such a properly touching Jori conclusion, so this one and the following three chapters chronologically will take place before chapter seventeen.
"I hate Mondays." Jade grouched as she got herself a cup of Joe. "Whoever came up with Mondays should be dragged to the streets and shot."
Tori snickered.
"What's so funny Vega?"
"You are, baby." The Latina replied with a wide smile. "I don't know if you realized this, but you're quoting Garfield."
"Well Vega, you can't deny that fat orange cat is very relatable." Jade said. "He hates Mondays, like any normal person, present company excluded."
"Hey, I don't like most Mondays either!" Tori counted. "There are some exceptions, like today for instance."
"And what, pray tell is so important about today?" The Thespian sneered. "It's not my birthday; it's not yours either and it sure as Hell isn't our anniversary, so it can't be that important."
"Geez, I forgotten how big of a gank my wife could be before her first cup of coffee." The Latina thought a bit annoyed. "Well baby, you're right that it's not as important as those days but it's still a time for us to relax."
"Relaxation and Mondays don't go in the same sentence Vega." The Thespian said before taking her first sip her drink. "God, I wish I'd married coffee."
"HEY!"
"You're so easy Vega." Jade smirked coyly. "I technically did marry coffee, your sexy skin and beautiful eyes remind me of this heavenly drink."
"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" Tori asked, crossing her arms. "Word of advice West, unless you want to sleep on the couch for the foreseeable future, don't compare your wife to a beverage made out of beans."
"Hey, don't get me wrong Vega." Jade shot back. "Coffee may give me energy but you give me excitement."
"Aww."
"After all, no one else can fuck me like you can."
"You couldn't quit while you were ahead could you?" Tori asked rhetorically. "You just had to mention our love life didn't you?"
"Don't act like you don't get a thrill out of it Vega." Jade teased. "I may still be half asleep but I can still see you blushing, it was cute when you were a prude back in High School, but now? Come on Tor, we're freaking married, need I remind you of all the stuff we done to each other? Things which I recall we're mostly your ideas. "
"We're getting off topic here." Tori snapped, her voice sounding a bit too high pitch for her liking, as Jade simply chuckled, despite how much she loves her wife, the Thespian still had her moments where she enjoyed getting under the Latina's skin for fun.
"Right… What were we talking about again?"
"That today is a day when we can relax."
"I doubt it." Jade said pessimistically. "I got a list to do three pages long, I have to go to the Studio so I can finish recording a song, I have get some carrots for Houdini, I don't know how he does it but I'm tired of him beating my to the fridge when I want to make myself a salad, we also have to go to the dump and can finally throw away the Christmas tree and…"
"… And you're completely unaware on what date today is, are you?"
"It's Monday, Vega." The Thespian sneered. "The worst day of the week, I thought we established that already."
"True, but it's also labor day."
"So… What you're trying to tell me Vega, is that I got out of bed for nothing?"
"Well, I wouldn't say for nothing." Tori said. "We can… HEY! Where are you going?"
"To take off my bra, get back into my fuzziest pajamas and sleep for a few more hours." Jade said. "Great way to celebrate Labor Day, celebrate work by NOT going to work."
"Putting the irony aside." Tori began to say. "Are you sure there isn't anything else you would like to do? Come on baby! We got a day off, let's take advantage of it!"
"And I will!" Jade replied. "Vega, we may have had a three day weekend but we didn't exactly get to enjoy Saturday and Sunday, we had to do a shit load of chores around the house and we didn't even get to finish them!"
"I know… But…"
"Vega, we can either argue on what we can do to take advantage of today or we can get back into our very comfortable bed because believe it or not, I had saved this idea for such an occasion, we can get back to sleep for a few hours, then when we wake up, I'll kiss you till we both are so close to running out of oxygen and then we can watch something Netflix, maybe that movie where you died on the toilet."
"JADE!" Tori yelled out embarrassed. "I didn't die on the toilet, I died on the bathroom."
"Potayto, potahto." The former Goth shrugged. "Anyway after that, we can have lunch and dinner in bed, cuddle under the covers, we take each other's pants off and screw each other's brains out and maybe, if we have enough time we can get up on our roof and look at the stars and just… Relax."
Tori had to admit, she loved her wife's plan for the day, minus the part where Jade laughs at her on screen movie death.
"Well… I'll say that its way better than what I had in mind."
"And what did you cooked up for fun today, Vega?"
"Would you believe an evening at a nice restaurant and dancing with you and maybe a walk on the beach?"
"Always the lovey-dovey sap, huh Vega?" Jade said while shaking her head. "Tell you what, we do my plan for the day and I promise you that the next time we have a night off, I'll take you out to dinner, we both know we need a date night sooner rather than later, we got to keep the romance alive, right?"
"You took the words right out of my mouth baby." Tori said lovingly before giving her wife a kiss. "You got yourself a deal."
"And I'm about to take your pants." Jade said as she grabbed her spouse bridal style, Tori squealed happily as the Thespian took her to their room to enjoy their day off.
"We're going to give each other a workout aren't we West?" Tori grinned at what she believed to be a clever joke.
"You're a dork, Vega." Jade said with an eye roll. "Then again, what can I expect from the woman who made a pumpkin graveyard last Halloween."
"You promised you wouldn't bring that up ever again!"
Hour later Jade and Tori were panting satisfied under the covers of their bed, both looking lovingly into each other's eyes.
"Ok Vega, I'll admit, you gave me a good workout."
"And you weren't fast behind, baby."
"Best labor day ever!"
This is the end of this chapter and like I wrote above, I still have three more ideas for this saga and hopefully not another plot bunny will strike me, so with that being said, I'm not sure when I'll be able to post the next chapter but I do have a name for it, which is "Trina Appreciation Day."
I bet most of you are thinking HUH? Where did that idea come from? Well stay tuned to find out.
For those of you who know, I'm a huge Garfield fan and I couldn't resist making a reference at the beginning, also, for those of you who have been reading, I made a few callbacks to previous chapters like the Halloweens one, the bunny Houdini and of course I had to make Jade tease Tori about her character Cassie dying in her new Netflix movie "Afterlife of the Party" and that wasn't a spoiler since it was in the trailer of the movie.
I also wanted to make a parallel to Victoria Justice's movie as both Cassie and Tori are social butterflies but unlike Cassie, Tori knows when to take it easy in life.
Anyway as always, constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.
