AN: Date night, helping a girl in need, and a lead on possibly spending their futures together? Buckle up, cause the girls might start something tonight to take the next step together.

~Two Weeks Later~

Things were going well for Jade and I, we hadn't put a label on it at all, which we were both okay with.

We weren't exactly doing much PDA outside of our houses, which was fine with me also, and jade was worried about the lashing out people would give me at school, so we kept quiet for now.

I was finally going to meet Jade's mother tonight, she'd been so busy that we haven't had a chance, and admittedly I was nervous.

Jade just said to relax while she lounged on my bed, watching me try on numerous outfits.

I think I'm on my sixth outfit at the moment, I was staring at it in the mirror. It didn't feel like 'meet your kinda-girlfriends mother' outfit.

"Vega?" Jade asked, sliding her arms around my waist, making me look up and catch her eyes on the mirror. "You look beautiful… as always," she said softly.

I fought hard to keep the blush from my cheeks, but it appeared anyway, making Jade chuckle, kissing the side of my neck.

"Stop, you're no help. I'm meeting your mother-"

"At my house before we go out to a movie, it'll be like ten minutes, not even that. Just wear something comfortable, please," she said as she cut me off.

"Jade?" I turned to face her so I could see her properly.

"Tori…"

"I-Is tonight a date?" I asked hesitantly.

"Would you like it to be?" She asked, bringing her hand up to push a lock of hair from my face, tucking it behind my ear gently.

"I…"

"Vega, would you to go on a date with me tonight?"

I nodded.

"Great, then hurry up and get dressed, I'm starving," she smirked, pecking my lips before making her way back over to my bed and flopping onto it.

"Is that any way to talk to your date?" I asked, clearly teasing her.

"Hey, I was always told to be myself, isn't that who I should be on a first date? Myself?" She shot back.

"Second," I said, making her look confused. "Technically, it's a second date if you count the pancakes the other week."

"Was it?" She asked.

"I like to think of it as one," I said, turning back to the mirror before pulling my shirt off and tossing it behind me. "Where are we going to eat?"

"How do you feel about surprises?" She smiled, making my stomach and heart flip happily as I caught her eyes in the mirror once again.

"I feel like I trust you enough that I'd probably like whatever it was."

Jade's dress. I should totally wear the dress I 'borrowed' from her and never gave back after she lied about playing Ping Pong.

"Tori, what're you doing?" Jade asked as I unbuckled my belt and pushed my jeans down my legs with a little difficulty due to how skin-tight they were.

"I want to wear a dress," I said, turning to fully face her with a smirk as she took in my almost naked body.

"Dress?"

Did she just swallow so loud that I could hear it from over here? I must be hearing things.

"Vega… you need clothes on now, cause I don't think I'll be able to control myself," she admitted.

I stepped up to my closet, pulling the dress from the hanger before tugging it on over my head.

"Fuck," she muttered. "You look so good."

"You're never getting it back," I said as I straightened the dress a little and looked at it in the mirror.

"It looks better on you." Jade came up behind me again and ran her fingers through my hair a few times before starting to do it up.

I stood still, lifting my chin a little as Jade asked me quietly to do so.

She patted my shoulders after a few moments making me look into the mirror and reach for the end of my hair, pulling it into view to see a tight fishtail braid.

"You ready?"

"Starved," I said, turning to face her and kiss her quickly.

"Well, come on then," Jade said, lightly rubbing my arms. "Bring a light sweater just in case you get cold."

We sat in Jade's car in front of her house, both looking up at it as if it were to hopefully vanish from existence.

"Now or never, right?" I asked softly.

She nodded. "How should I introduce you?" She asked as I had my hand on the lever, ready to open the door.

"However you want, Jade," I said, looking over at her. "It's honestly up to you."

We got out of the car, both meeting at the front before walking up to the door together. I half stepped back to Jade could open it, smiling when she gestured me in first.

"Mum?" Jade called, her voice seemed to echo through the large home.

"Kitchen!"

We made our way towards the kitchens entrances, stopping in the doorway when we saw her bent over the sink, scrubbing at something within it.

Jade cleared her throat, grasping my hand tightly. "Mum, this is Tori, we're going out to the movies then to dinner, so we won't be back till nine, maybe ten."

The woman looked over her shoulder at us, and I saw more of Riley in her face than I did jade. The only thing she seemed to get from her mother was her eyes.

Her eyes fell down to our hands before she nodded and turned back to whatever she was scrubbing.

"No later than eleven, please. Tori, are you going to stay the night?"

"Maybe, if that's alright. My parents gave me the all clear before we left if you agree too."

She nodded again, turning back to look at us.

"Are you taking boys out too?"

"No," Jade said. "Beck and I broke up two weeks ago, and Tori doesn't have a boyfriend."

The sound of the sink draining filled the kitchen momentarily.

"Sweet boy," she seemed to mutter lightly before drying her hands. "Jade… are you and Tori together?"

We both seemed to freeze at the question.

"We're… seeing where we end up," Jade said slowly, looking at me as if for validation.

I gave her an encouraging nod, smiling softly.

"Well, nice to meet you, Tori. Have a good night, girls. I have to be up early for a work party, someone's leaving the firm."

"Yeah, night mum," Jade said, I used my free hand to offer a small wave to the woman before getting lead away by jade.

"You still haven't told me her name," I whispered as Jade pulled the front door closed behind us.

"Alice," Jade said, our hands breaking apart as we parted ways at the front of the car to get in and make our way to the theatre.

As we sat in the back row on the far left side of the theatre, waiting for the movie, Jade set our drink in the cup holder between us.

"Hey," I said, stroking her thigh. "If this date goes well, would you maybe like to go on another with me next Saturday? Both my parents will be out of town."

"We'll see," Jade said playfully, kissing my cheek. "Where do you want to go to eat after this?"

"Where would you like to go?" I asked, looking at her, my hand lifting from her thigh to grab a handful of popcorn from the large bucket on her lap.

"I'm kind of thinking that place we went out to where I gave you that dress," she said softly.

I don't even remember the name of that place. But I remember singing to pay for our meal because of Robbie.

"That place was really expensive," I whispered as people began to fill the seats near us.

"So? I can afford it, I just wasn't paying for Robbie's stupid caviar bowl."

"Why didn't he front that money? Isn't his parents loaded?"

"Because his parents believe he's old enough to pay for his own things. And he spends all his money on mayonnaise for his bedside fridge."

My nose crinkled in disgust.

"He has an addiction," I grumbled, making Jade laugh, a little too loud for our quiet surroundings.

"Shhhhh," someone from a row somewhere in front of us said.

"The movie hasn't even started, you shhhhhh," Jade growled, making the man turn and look at us.

"It's known to be quiet in a theatre," he said, frowning at Jade.

"And I mistakenly laughed a little loud, I admit that, but you didn't have to call me out on it, fucking hell, dude. Just turn your hearing aid down."

"Excuse me?" He asked, loudly.

"Jesus Christ, old mate, just sit the fuck down and leave the girls alone. You probably only started shit to turn and stare at their tits anyways, I mean look at the little jailbait you brought with you," someone else said from the other end of our row, hurling their ice cream at the man and hitting him square in the face.

Fuming, the man grabbed the girl beside him, causing her to cry out and try to pull herself free.

"Let's go, Ashley," he growled.

"No, let me go," she said, still attempting to get herself free as the man half dragged her down the stairs.

"I believe she said to let her go," Jade said as she sat the popcorn in my lap and jumping over the chair they'd just vacated to get closer to them, pulling the man's hand free from the girls wrist.

"You have no right to interfere, here," he said.

"I have every right to help someone out who doesn't want to go with someone," Jade snapped, stepping between the man and girl who looked no older than us.

"Please don't let him take me," I heard the girl, Ashley, whisper to Jade as I moved up behind them, Jade's and my bag on our shoulders. I feel like jade won't be in much of a movie mood after this.

"Has he hurt you?" I asked, setting the drink and popcorn down on a nearby chair.

She nodded.

"He… he beats me daily before raping me."

My stomach turned harshly at her confession.

"And I'll do it more often if you don't come home with me now," he growled.

"I think that's a confession," someone just said, and I turned to see a man standing in front of the seat I just sat out things.

He was in uniform, a small camera flashing red on the front of his vest as he reached behind him and pulled out a pair of cuffs.

"You three girls are going to need to come to the station," the cop said. "Witnesses and victim," he murmured making Jade and I nod.

"Come on, you can ride with us," Jade said, making me hold out her bag so she could find her keys.

I grabbed the popcorn and drink, the three of us following the uniformed officer and man down to the main area of the cinemas.

"Everything okay?" A man asked, running over to us, a tag on his shirt saying he was the manager.

"These three girls need a refund," the officer said.

"Oh, of course. Right away."

"What about me?" The man asked, looking more angry than before.

"What about you? You won't need a ticket refund in jail," the officer said, looking at Jade. "West Hollywood precinct, I'll see you all there, ask for Detective Vega, he'll be in charge."

"I'll let him know we're coming in," I said, making the officer look at me confused. "He's my father."

"Tori, right?"

I nodded. "Sorry we couldn't meet on easier terms," the officer said, nudging the man towards the door. "Walk," he growled.

By the time we got to the station and found my father, Ashley looked a little less shaken about everything that had gone down.

I stayed by her side as she went into the interview room when she spoke to my father and Jade stayed by her when I needed to use the bathroom after finishing off the large drink Jade was meant to share with me.

It took about an hour for everything to be gone through and Ashley to be checked over by a medical professional.

Like a fine tooth comb, every bruise and mark on Ashley's body was photographed and written down on a clipboard.

"Those are from cutting, not from him," Ashley said quietly, making me look towards her.

"It's okay, Ashley, let them know everything," Jade said.

I was almost nine by the time we were let out of the station, Ashley's mother picked her up in tears, thankful she was out of the bad relationship and he'd be going away for a long time.

The woman thanked us many times over. After that, Jade and I just sat in her car for a while, letting the time pass by before my stomach growled loudly signalling my need for food.

She drove us to the nearest restaurant, which turned out to be an Applebee's and we waited for our food after ordering, Jade's hand slowly stroking over mine as she shifted her chair a little closer to mine.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I just hate that people are like that," Jade said, answering my question. "I hate that you went through a similar situation."

"Me too," I said softly. "I just… wish I knew you back then so maybe I could have helped you somehow."

"Tori, there's no way you'd have been able to stop my uncle," she said, making me quickly look up at her.

"It was your uncle?" I asked, my voice raising slightly.

Jade's eyes started to water as she nodded. "Yeah."

"God, I want to hurt him so badly," I admitted.

When the waitress brought our food, we pulled our hands apart so we could eat and cut our food up.

As soon as I had cut everything into bite sized pieces, I rested my hand on Jade's knee, thankful she's sat beside me instead of across from me.

I stabbed a piece of my meat, forking it into my mouth when Jade's hand rested on top of mine.

"Hey," someone said, dragging Jade's and my attention to the side of our table where a woman and a young child was standing.

"Hi?" Jade frowned a little.

"Sorry to interrupt your meal, but my daughter is a huge fan of The Diddly Bops," the lady said, smiling nervously.

"Oh." I laughed a little. "What can we do for you?" I asked.

"Would I be able to get a photo with you both, please?" The little girl asked.

"Of course," I said, shifting out of my chair, patting it to let the girl sit. "What's your name?"

"Jadelyn," the girl said, smiling up at me.

"Mine too," Jade said in reply, making the smile on the girls face grow bigger.

"I took her to come see your live show a few years ago," the mother explained as she took her phone out while I crouched beside the smaller Jade, smiling when the mother took our photo.

"Do you mind taking one with my phone too?" I asked, holding my phone up.

The mother quickly obliged, taking another photo before handing my phone back.

"Thank you," little Jade said before sliding out of my chair so I could sit back down.

"Well, I've had people ask me for a photo because of my National Anthem performance, but never for being a Diddly Bop," I said as they walked away, Jade's hand slipping onto my thigh.

"Riley finds it hilarious when a kid looks at me when we're out together," Jade said, making me laugh softly.

"That's adorable," I said, kissing her cheek. "Jade, do you want children?" I nervously asked.

She had just taken a mouthful of food, so I stayed quiet, eating some of my fries while she mulled it over.

"I think… maybe one, I wouldn't mind… or two." Jade turned her head a little, probably trying to see my reaction. "What about you?"

"Two wouldn't be bad," I said, smiling softly as she leaned in, quickly kissing me. "I'd like to have a decent paying job and be at least twenty five."

"That's a good age to have your shit mostly together," she said as she nodded. "I think I'd like a girl and a boy."

"One of each? How would you do that you can't control what you give birth to."

"Give birth? God no, I'd adopt. Give kids a chance that they couldn't have because of shitty parents," she said, making my eyebrows shoot up. "You're not asking in plans of having kids with me are you?"

"Oh, Jade. We're too young for that now, I just wanted to know more about you, who knows where the future would take us? I mean… even if we don't make it that far together, I'd still like to keep you in my life," I said softly.

"I'm sure I'd be stuck with you forever, Vega," she said with a smile, kissing my cheek.

I sure hope so.

When we got back to Jade's, the house was quiet and still.

I followed her down to her bedroom, my overnight bag in hand, which I tossed onto the couch instantly and smiled over at Jade.

There was a shift in the air, and like magnets, we were stepping closer to each other.

My fingers curled in her hair as our lips were pulled together, her hands bunching my dress at my hips.

I felt her tugging on it, so I stepped back and pulled it over my head. Her eyes were glued to my chest, making me bite my lip with nerves.

"Are you sure?" She asked, eyes coming up to meet mine.

I nodded.

Jade undid her belt, pulling it free with one strong flick and dropping it to the floor.

AN: Are you ready for smut? Just curious... next chapters already written anyways. Let me know what you thought of this chapter?
