Jade worries over Tori not being at school and nurses her back to health... along with a little play time before they both go out with David.
I stepped up to Tori's locker just before the bell was due to ring, I hadn't really had much time alone with her since Tuesday night, last week.
I slipped an envelope into the small slits at the top of her locker door, quickly making my way across the hall to my own locker and opening it up, half keeping an eye out for Tori while I felt through my locker for my book for Theatre History.
Tori and I weren't exactly together, unless you ask our parents, cause we couldn't exactly say we were only sleeping together. Which wasn't the case.
Sure, we do have our fun, but I like spending time with her.
I like watching movies with her, it's not just a convenient thing to do.
The bell chimed again, signalling that the change-over for classes was over and everyone scattered from the halls as quick as they could.
But I will hadn't seen Tori.
Come to think of it, she'd barely made an appearance at all today. I saw her in roll-call, and at the beginning of first period, but sadly, our seats were separated due to how we used to be and the teacher refused to let us sit close to each other.
I frowned before hoisting my bag higher on my shoulder and slamming my locker shut. I made my way through the halls to my class, fishing my phone from my bag so I could text her.
That was until I saw a text from Tori on my screen from an hour ago.
Crap.
Vega: Went home, not feeling well. Might have to reschedule date night. -xo, Tori.
My heart shuddered at the small xo written before her name.
God, she's bringing down my walls one brick at a time so quickly that I'm worried she'll run before we even get a chance to start something.
I looked at the message once more before typing out a reply.
J: Hope you feel better soon, let me know if I need to bring you soup. The nurse will be on call for you (;
I cleared my throat, hoping to rid my body of the nerves before tapping send and taking my seat at the back of the room as my teacher started to talk.
After school, I went straight home.
I went through to the kitchen and searched the fridge and cupboards for items I needed to make soup before starting on it.
I briefly stopped keeping an eye on it to go get Riley from his bus, before continuing my task.
Rose came in when I was nearing done with the soup, arms red from the bags she had all up both forearms.
"Groceries," Rose said with a small smile.
"Hey, Tori's not feeling well, so I'm going to take her over some soup, there's a tonne in the pot so Riley can just have that for his meal and-"
"Toast cut into strips, I know," Rose waved me away. "Go see your girl," she said, grinning.
I felt my cheeks warm, knowing I'm blushing, but couldn't stop myself from rolling my eyes light heartedly with a smile of my own.
When I pulled up to Tori's house, I saw David coming out of the house in his uniform, a smile on his face.
"Jade, Tori didn't mention you were coming."
"I just brought her some soup, make sure she's feeling better."
"She's curled in a thousand blankets on the couch, make yourself at home," he said, pushing the door open for me.
When I saw Tori on the couch looking pale, I frowned a little, making my way over to her. "Vega, you look terrible, what happened?"
"Ate something bad this morning, haven't felt good since," she said, shifting her legs and making a move to sit up, but I put a hand on her shoulder to stop her, my other hand setting the container of soup down on the coffee table.
"Rest, I'll get you some water, you need to stay hydrated."
She pouted, and damn, if it wasn't the cutest thing I'd ever seen, I don't know what is.
"What did you have for breakfast?" I asked as I went over to the kitchen to get her some water from the fridge.
"A brownie my friend brought me," she said, and I turned to look at her, her face paling as she leaned off the couch and over a bucket she had at her side dry heaving a few times before throwing up.
I rushed to her side, rubbing her back as I set the bottle of water by the soup and when she finished puking, I moved to the kitchen, grabbing a rag and it, before coming back to her.
I handed her the rag, watched as she wiped the edge of her mouth with one end and her forehead with the other.
"Have you eaten anything else today?"
"My dad made toast at lunch time. I ate a slice of it before it all came back up."
Taking the bucket and rag to the downstairs bathroom, I washed them both thoroughly in the bathtub before bringing them back to her.
"Why aren't you upstairs resting in bed?"
"I washed all my bedding this morning, so I haven't made my bed yet," she said, curling back up on the couch, pulling the blankets over her body more.
"Come home with me, let me take care of you."
"I don't want to risk anyone else getting sick, what if it wasn't from the brownie?"
"You can stay in my room the whole time, it won't matter if i get sick."
"But it'll matter if I get Riley sick cause you were around me, you shouldn't even be here," she said, dropping the damp rag onto her face.
"I'll stay in my room with you."
"It's okay, Jade."
I stayed by Tori's side until she fell asleep before moving to the end of the couch and lifting her feet onto my lap.
When her dad had came home. It was almost three in the morning at that time.
"You're still here," he murmured softly, my arm resting across Tori's legs as I fought to keep my eyes open.
"Sorry, I just… I wanted to make sure she's okay."
"Thank you, Jade," he said, smiling as Tori rolled over, facing the back of the couch. I stroked her legs slowly, looking up at her father.
"I should get home, there's extra soup in the fridge, enough for her three times over, so feel free to eat as much as you want."
"Stay. I'll make up the guest room," he said, patting my shoulder before walking by the downstairs bathroom.
I felt weird, staying somewhere that wasn't my or Tori's bed.
He came back a little while later, I blinked, slowly, trying so hard to stay awake.
"I'll carry her in, go lay down," he said.
I slowly lifted myself off the couch, picking my bag up and taking it through to the room. I pulled the blankets down so when David brang Tori in, the bed was ready.
I covered her up with the blankets that were on the bed, adding the ones she was wrapped in to the top of the covers to make sure she was warm enough despite it being ninety-three degrees.
"Goodnight," I whispered to David as he left the room, pulling the door closed with a soft click.
I climbed onto the bed, curling into Tori's side with a soft sigh.
"Love you," Tori mumbled, making me jolt more awake and lift my head, staring at her before she let out a soft snore.
My heart thudded harshly within me, I could hear and feel it pulsing through my whole body.
Sure, Tori had admitted she was in love with me when we were in Lane's office the other week, but hearing her actually say it, even if she was talking to someone in her dreams… it shook me to the core.
It was on Friday afternoon that Tori felt well enough to go back to school.
Every day after Tori had forced me to go to school, I went, then went home, changed and grabbed a spare set of clothes before the next day, then got Riley from the bus and left him with Rose.
"Hey," Tori said cheerily as she set her spoon down in her bowl. "I haven't thrown up all day, I think Monday is a good day to go back to school."
"Well, that's good. Do you want to stay at my place tonight?" I asked, taking her empty bowl through to the kitchen and rinsed it out before moving back over to her.
"Dad mentioned going out tonight cause we haven't really had time together in a while," Tori said, looking upset. "Can I get him to drop me off afterwards? We usually go bowling and then play laser-tag or hang at the arcade."
The door opened, making us both look over to see Tori's dad, looking a little down.
"You okay?" We both asked him.
He only nodded, smiling softly. "Long day at work, Tori are we still on for tonight?" He asked.
"Yeah, if we're not out too late, can I go to Jade's after it?"
He only nodded, bringing a hand up to loosen his tie. "Of course, I'll just go shower and we can go… Jade, I know it's usually a daughter father night, but would you like to come?"
"That's up to Tori, really? I don't want to impose."
"Hey, it'll be good to have someone on my team helping demolish him," Tori said with a small laugh.
"Who said I'd be on your team?" I asked, poking her side lightly.
Tori only smirked and pulled me into her lap, kissing my cheek.
"I'll just go for that shower," David said, excusing himself before talking up the stairs.
"If we verse each other… let's make a bet."
"Like what?" I asked, shifting a little on her lap before straddling her, my hands holding the back of the chair as she slipped her arms around my waist.
"You win, you can do anything you want to me, I win… I get to do whatever I want."
I felt a chill run down my spine at the huskiness to her voice, finding myself nodding.
"Deal," I whispered before kissing her gently.
"Tori have you seen my- oh gross," Trina said, interrupting us. "You couldn't do that in private?"
"Considering every time I've come home to you on the couch with a boy," Tori rolled her eyes. "What did you want?"
"Have you seen my headphones?"
"No." Tori moved her face to the crook of my neck, my eyes fluttering shut as I felt her lips slowly make their way across my collarbone.
"How long do you think your dad will be?" I whispered.
"Half an hour, maybe more, why?" Tori asked, looking up at me.
I raised my eyebrows a few times before smiling innocently. "Bedroom?"
She nodded quickly and we parted, my hand clutching hers to drag her up the stairs.
When her dad knocked on her door forty-five minutes later, Tori slapped a hand over my mouth as she curled her fingers inside of me.
"Just a minute, I'm finding something comfortable to wear."
"I'll wait downstairs, don't forget your cards," her dad said.
Tori looked me in the eye, flicked her thumb against my clit a few more times leaning close to my ear before whispering.
"Cum for me, Jade, please…" I whimpered against her hand, trying to keep from crying out loudly, rocking up against her other hand as she thrust a third finger into me, my eyes widening at the unfamiliar but not unwanted sensation as I let my release take over my body.
My back arched as I clawed at the blankets beneath my body and rode her fingers until my climax had fully washed over me.
"Fuck I love hearing your moans, I wish we were alone so you didn't have to be quiet." She presses a light kiss to my lips before slowly pulling her fingers out of me and I watched as she examined them.
"Oh god," I managed to let out as she sucked each finger clean. "I think I just came again."
She smiled softly, getting off my leg and picking up her clothes.
"You said you were changing," I reminded her.
She nodded before tossing her clothes towards the bathroom and making her way to her drawers, pulling out a pair of basketball shorts, a bra, and a tank up.
"No underwear?"
"Why bother when they're going to be taken off the second we get to your place anyway?" She asked. "Or even sooner. I might even find a dark place within the laser-tag arena and fuck you against the wall."
Good god. She's going to be the death of me.
