Tori POV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm on Saturday morning, feeling exhausted from the tossing and turning I was doing all night. I couldn't stop thinking about today and get my body to fully relax. My stomach flutter from the butterflies that refuse to go away.
I slam my hand on the off button and lay there in bed, staring at the ceiling. "Well, today is the day." I thought to myself, tapping off-beat on the back of my hand.
I sigh as I push myself into sitting position and rub my hand through my hair. I hop out of bed and head to the bathroom. I finish up and head downstairs to make me some breakfast. I look around in the pantry and refrigerator to see what jumps out me but nothing seems to pop out. I try to eat some toasted up toaster strudels but the fluttering is stopping me from finishing it.
I walk into the living room and try to do something. Anything. I couldn't stay still for a minute. I would turn on the TV but I couldn't stick to anything. I try putting on a movie but I don't remember a single word that they said.
I grab my phone to scroll through TheSlap and I end up stopping on a picture of Beck and Jade. It was taken before we started dating and it was of them staring into each other eyes, their foreheads connected. They both have a soft smile, a look that people have rarely seen on Jade. The caption under it says 'Nothing else matters when I'm with you.'
My heart tugged at the picture and I mentally kept re-reading the caption. That is when it clicked for me. "No matter what they have to tell me...I'm in this for the long haul." I declared, feeling this sense of self-confidence rush over me.
At that moment, I get a notification on my phone. It's from Jade:
Good morning, how's our Little Sassy doing this morning? :)
I roll my eyes at the ridiculous name that Jade insists on calling me but that didn't stop the smile on my face. I text her back:
Morning, I'm doing good. How are you? Also, why do you insist to call me that?
She wasted no time to text back:
I'm good. It's because you're too sassy for your own good ;)
I shake my head and text her back. We text each other all morning and pretty much most all of the afternoon with Beck chiming in once and in a while and while I'm doing random stuff around the house like homework or some chores that I had put off over the whole week. I completely forgot my nervousness until Jade said that she has to go get ready for our date tonight. The butterflies came back with a vengeance as I put my phone on the charger and go get ready myself, starting with a quick shower.
Beck and Jade told me not to go overboard with the look for tonight. So, I went with a simple yellow mid-thigh dress with a leather jacket over it and a pair of black ankle boots. I kept my hair down and wavy. I kept the makeup natural looking. I kept looking at myself, making sure that everything looks alright.
I packed up my bag last night so I didn't need to worry about it but that didn't stop me checking it over several times to make sure that I didn't forget anything. Once, I felt like I was all ready, I try to sit down and watch TV but I couldn't seem to sit still. I kept bouncing my leg and tapping my fingers. I lost count of how many times that I kept checking my phone for any messages and the time.
I don't know how much time had passed until I heard a knock on the door. I rushed to the door and check the peephole. There are Jade and Beck standing outside my door."Oh god, that's them! Okay, Tori calm down, it's okay. Try to play it cool. This is Jade and Beck. They were your friends first before this and now they are your boyfriend and girlfriend. They care about you." I took a deep breath and calmly open the door.
There they were, looking as gorgeous as ever. Beck was leaning against the wall in a long sleeve maroon shirt that the sleeves were push up to his elbows, he has on a pair of denim jeans on with dark brown boots. Jade had a form-fitting knee-high black dress on that have a lacy, netting look at the top with some knee-high black boots on. The words stop in my throat as I openly check them out. They didn't seem like they mind from the smirks on their faces.
"Hey babe, you are looking gorgeous." Beck was the first one to speak as he walks in closer to me. He put his hands on my waist and pull me into a deep kiss. He let go of me and pass me to Jade as he went to grab my bag for me. Jade mirror Beck's actions but instead of letting go when she pulled away, she lean back a little and look me in the eyes. "Are you ready?" I nod my head. She searches for something in my eyes and then nods her head and smile. Whatever she found, seems to satisfy her as she pulls away.
I grab my phone, charger, and keys as we walked out my house. They waited for me as I lock my door and we got into Beck's car. Beck held the door for both me and Jade and put my bag in the back seat. I put my charger in the bag, so I won't lose it.
Beck got into the driver seat and look at us, "Everybody is all good?" We both nod our head and he smiles and backs the car out my driveway in a direction, I guess, towards Jade's house.
The drive was pretty quiet, everybody was in their own head but I didn't mind it. It allowed me to try to calm down and just let the flow of the night take me...take us. About an hour later, Beck is turning down a street that I don't recognize. I saw the dead end sign as he was turning. There wasn't a ton of houses on this street, they seem really spread out. There is more forest than houses around here. When we got to the end of the street, there is a big, tan two-story house. I can't tell too much of what it looks like because it was night time but I can tell that it is a beautiful home.
"Wow," I breathe out.
"You like?" Jade asks with a tone that I can tell that she is smirking but I hear an undertone of nervousness and something else under it.
"Yeah, this is so huge." I'm in awe. They both laugh at my child-like wonder. "Come on, let's show you the inside." We get out the car. Before I could, Beck grabs my bag. I was tempted to argue but something inside me stops the words from coming out my mouth. Jade walks ahead of us to unlock the door as Beck sit his hand on the lower part of my back as we wait for her to unlock the door. Once the door was unlocked, they let me go inside first.
I took one look around and went, "Woah!"
Okay, so I needed to stop the chapter here because I didn't want to start the next chapter in a weird place. Next chapter will still be in Tor's POV and the talk will for sure happen in the next chapter :)
