Uninvited
Chapter 6 – Rollercoaster
No one's POV
Spotting her phone on the floor, Jade rushed to grab it. She wanted nothing more than to call Tori and scream at her now absent lover. But upon inspecting it, she could see the screen was shattered. She realized that after she had thrown it, the phone must have broken when it hit her dresser.
Realizing she had been totally fucked, physically and metaphorically and at the moment there was absolutely nothing she could do about it, not to mention she had to do laundry and replace her phone, Jade let out what could be considered a primal scream.
"VEGA!"
After she was done screaming, Jade found herself taking in the smell of sex that permeated the room and found herself wishing Tori was still there.
"FUCK! She got to me last night and she's still getting to me." Ranted Jade as she snatched her bathrobe off the back of her door.
Continuing to rant as she headed towards the bathroom, Jade found that her emotions were spinning round like a tornado. "I'm going to find her and chop her in to little pieces…..Just not that magical tongue of hers. DAMN!"
In the shower a few minutes later, Jade couldn't help but see a single short and curly hair on the soap that Tori had left behind. Instead of throwing her even further into her rage, Jade just starred at it and for a moment touched it tenderly.
Somehow managing to push all of that aside, at least temporally, Jade finished showering and got ready. By then it was almost noon.
Once she was dressed and ready, her first order of business was to open her bedroom window and air out the room. Next, she stripped the bed and put the sheets and bedspread into a laundry basket. While she could wash the sheets in the washer in the basement, the thick bedspread needed a larger washer, only available at the local laundromat. So, she decided to do it all there. After that would be a trip to the mall, where she'd replace her broken phone.
On any other day, that would be just a series of mundane tasks that needed to be accomplished. But this wasn't any normal day. Pulling out of the driveway, tried to focus on what she needed to do, despite the fact she was still riding an emotional rollercoaster. A rollercoaster that seemed to have no end.
Thankfully the laundromat was empty. The last few times she had to go there, there always seemed to be some mother with a couple of hyper kids in tow. Either that or some idiot guy who thought a laundromat was a good place to pick up girls, would be hanging around.
This time, the only company she had was her thoughts of Tori. Though she tried to read a cheap horror novel, she couldn't escape them. Nor could she escape what she was feeling. The rage, the anger, the desire, the memories, it was all there.
Though in all of it, Jade remembered one thing. When she first saw Tori in her bed, she had an odd thought of that fish guy from Return of the Jedi. That scene that popped in her head at that very moment, was that character uttering the famous words.
"IT'S A TRAP!"
That brought a further realization, that did not help settle her mind at all.
"On some level, I knew it was a trap, yet I walked into it anyway."
Her laundry finished, Jade headed to the mall and picked up her new phone. The very first thing she did, was to dial Tori. However, the phone went directly to voice mail, which only frustrated jade even further.
"Who in the fuck is she on the phone with? Doesn't she know that I want to have words with her? Rip that pretty little head off that body of hers."
A few minutes later, Jade dialed again and once again it went right to voice mail. It did 10 minutes after that and another 5 minutes after that. With each failed attempt to Reach Vega, Jade got only angrier.
Finally, she dialed the last person on earth she wanted to talk to: Trina.
After two rings, the elder Vega answered.
"What do you want Jade?" Quipped Trina, in a voice indicating she didn't want to be bothered.
"Lots of things. Your sisters head on a pike, for one. Where is she?"
"Don't know, she stayed over at Cat's last night. She came back this morning, changed and left. Borrowed my mom's car. She told my mom she'd be back later. Oh, and more thing. If you kill her, don't ruin the jeans she wearing, I want to borrow them. Later loser."
Before Jade could get a word in edgewise, Trina hung up on her.
Realizing she wasn't going to find Tori, Jade decided to go home and make her bed. With her room aired out and her bedding washed, the smell of that sex was gone. That left Jade with a very empty feeling. Of course, another call to Tori, resulted in it going direct to voice mail. By this point in the day, Jade was an emotional wreck.
She turned on the tv in yet another attempt to get her mind off things. Jade watched incredulously, as the very first thing came on was the movie, Carol with Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. Jade moved to turn the channel, but found herself completely unable to.
All she could do was sit down, watch the movie and once again, scream.
The pounding on the door, commenced almost at 6:55 Pm. Tori, who sitting on the couch, smiled and said to herself. "I wonder who that could be?"
After getting up, Tori walked to the door and promptly opened. It. As soon as she did, Jade with a wild look in her eyes, grabbed Tori and shoved her against the door.
"Vega! You are the Devil!" Shouted Jade. "Or should I call you by your real name. Beelzebub? Let me guess, I'm going to give birth to the anti-Christ in nine months, right? In any case, Adrian is a stupid name for a baby."
"Are you OK? Jade?" Said Tori in a soft voice, attempting calm the enraged Goth down.
"NO, I'm not ok. I was perfectly content with being miserable and being in denial about my feelings towards, you my sexual identity and urges. But NOOOOO…..You have to seduce me, then give me the most beautiful, emotional, sexual experience I could ever hope to have, not to mention you fucked the absolute shit out of me. How in the hell did you do that to me?"
Looking just bit embarrassed, made a nervous laugh. "Well, I was so excited to finally have you, I really got into it and that got you all aroused and the more aroused you got, the more excited I got and in turn made you more aroused. I think we fed off each other as a result, lots of fireworks, big beautiful, wonderful, perfect fireworks. It was a true labor of love. That's how I or we did it."
Jade for a moment, stood there digesting what Tori said then, gave look of pure disbelief. "Vega, I don't think you realized what you truly did. Do you know that at one point I looked into your eyes and I swear I heard choirs of angels singing? Do you know when I saw the ending of the movie Carol today, I cried. I FUCKING CRIED, because they were going to be in love and live together! Now, I'm all, in touch with my feelings towards you and couldn't be surer that I'm a lesbian if it were tattooed on my ass."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"YOU BROKE ME!" Jade then took a deep breath and brought her voice down to a low growl. "You may have ditched me this morning, but that won't happen again. Because, as the saying goes, you break it, you bought it. No refunds, no exchanges, no store credit. You my lovely dear, are stuck with me, forever. Besides the fact that now I am painfully aware, that I secretly harbored deep feelings for you and no other human on earth other than you, could ever sexually satisfy me. I'm your girlfriend now, period!"
Only then did Jade let Tori go and begin to calm down. In fact, a moment later, Jade grinned evilly. "You're mine now, I'm sleeping over and if tomorrow morning, you're not in my arms so I can cuddle, you, I will hunt you down make you cuddle with me!"
Tori was about to open her mouth to speak, when a young man holding a large bag walked up to the door. "I'm here to deliver the food from Peking Gardens."
"Great, thank you!" Said Tori, as she pulled 50 bucks out of her pocket and handed it to the man. "Here, keep the change."
The man handed the bag to Tori, said thanks and walked off.
Turning back to Jade, Tori said. "You couldn't have timed your arrival more perfectly. I took the liberty of ordering you beef with pea pods and shrimp fried rice. I believe you like that. I got the sweet and sour chicken with pork fried rice. You can have some of mine if you like."
Tori then pointed to the dining room table. Looking, Jade could see it was adorned with a red tablecloth, fancy dishes and candles in what looked like a very romantic setting. "Come on, let's eat"
Jade stood there for a moment as her expression of anger slowly morphed into a rather dumb look. "You were expecting me!"
Tori nodded with a smile "Yep"
"And you were expecting me, so angry that I got used for sex, to come over here and make you my girlfriend!"
Again, Tori nodded.
Jade then frowned. "Did I just get tricked into a long term, loving and very meaningful relationship"
"It certainly looks that way doesn't it" Tori said with a shrug.
For what seemed like an eternity, Jade stood there, starring at Tori with an unreadable expression. In fact, after a minute Tori began to worry and quickly thought, "perhaps I went too far, with my little plan After all, who'd of thought it'd actually work. Or did it."
After another 30 seconds, Tori started to tense up as she began to wonder, just where the first punch would land."
"When did you start planning this little venture?" Snapped Jade.
Her voice shaking slightly, as she still believed she was about to be destroyed, Tori answered. "About 10 seconds after I learned you and Beck broke up. You inspired me all the way, not to mention I learned so much from you."
"The note. You wrote it ahead of time didn't you!"
"I actually had 5 different notes, one for each of the possible outcomes I had anticipated."
Jade digested that for a moment, then spoke again. "I couldn't call you right away as my phone was broken. When I did replace it and I called and it went directly to voice mail. Supposing it wasn't broken and where were you all day anyway?"
"Beck calling and you breaking the phone, wasn't planned. If you hadn't broken your phone, you would have discovered in the morning that your phone charger had gotten unplugged somehow and as a result your phone would have been completely dead. As to where I went, I went up hiking in Grant state park. Very beautiful, very scenic, it's also notorious for having very bad cell reception up there. I did plug your cell phone charger back in for you."
"How considerate of you!" Said Jade her voice dripping with sarcasm. "GO on!"
"I knew that your defenses would make an appearance as soon as you woke up. Of course, then you'd take a long river boat cruise up the river of denial. I could have worked my way through your defenses, but I wanted you now. Me being gone in the morning, would short circuit your defenses quite nicely. Having ditched you for the afternoon, I came home, got ready and waited. I knew you'd come to me, almost certainly, right after the documentary on the horror channel on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You had said you really wanted to watch that It ended 30 minutes ago and it takes 22 minutes for you to drive here."
"So, I was doomed, the second I let you in the door!"
Tori by then, really began to think she had gone too far. It was a very elaborate and well thought out trap, but it was very obsessive and somewhat creepy. Tori couldn't help but cringe. "Yes"
Jade looked away from Tori, towards the table, romantic ambiance and all. "Quite an elaborate plan. Nothing missed, quite manipulative. Didn't it occur to you at any point, just how creepy it is?"
Still cringing, Tori meekly admitted. "I kind of do now…."
Jade fumed for a moment looking like she was going to explode again. Suddenly, Jade poked Tori in the chest, wrapped her arms Tori and kissed her softy. "Luckily for you, I happen to love creepy. I also love getting roses on my birthday every year and don't you fucking forget it. Oh yeah, tomorrow, we can go lingerie shopping, lots of lingerie for me and my beautiful, wonderful and super sexy girlfriend, my treat and afterward we have to pick out burial plots at the cemetery. Mine was only a single and since you're going eventually be buried next to me that simply won't do, so we have to find a double."
Now it was time for Tori to be shocked as her Jaw dropped. "My trap actually worked?"
"Congratulations, it most certainly did, you captured my heart and soul." Looking somewhat philosophical, Jade then broke into a British accent. "Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps." Jade then dropped into her own voice. "Much ado about nothing, Act III, scene I."
"and I won't be destroyed?"
"Only if you cheat on me. Happy now?"
Suddenly squealing with delight, Tori kissed passionately. "OH MY GOD YES. I love you so much. I'll make you so happy. Do you love me too?"
"Tell me Vega, are you currently lying in a pool of your own blood with a large pair scissors sticking out of you."
Tori scratched her head. "Uh. No."
Jade smiled warmly, then turned towards the table. "Well then, there's your answer. Come on let's eat, because I want to get to dessert."
"What's for dessert?" Remarked Tori with a rather puzzled expression.
Jade, licked her lips, then smirked devilishly smirked. "YOU ARE!"
Tori laid out a very nice trap and Jade, somewhat willingly fell right into it. How will the rest of the gang and Beck of course react?
