"I can't believe you're still in bed! It's 4pm!" Tori stood in my bedroom doorway, one of her hands on her hip, the other holding two coffee cups. "I thought you said we were going to do something today? Have you even seen the weather today? It's glorious outside, Jade."
My eyes squinted open slightly, the last remnants of a dream being chased away by the realisation that I am awake again. I pull the duvet up over my head to keep out the bright, June sunshine that is forcing its way through my dark blinds.
"You've missed half a day being in bed, Jade." Tori placed the cups down on my desk before making her way over to me, sitting on the edge of the bed close to me. "You've missed out on half a day with me." She smirked, wiggling her eyebrows at me.
"I'm tired." Was all I could manage in my groggy voice.
She giggled. "Wow, for a second there I thought Darth Vader had entered the room!"
"Hilarious." I replied, pulling my tired body up and catching her brown eyes.
"I see you took full advantage of me not being in bed with you." She pointed to my position.
I was in the centre of the bed, and before I had composed myself I had been led in a starfish position, my arms and legs spread and covering the entirety of the bed. "I did not miss being kicked, that's for sure, or your sleep talking."
"I do not talk in my sleep!" Tori responded in defense. "We've had like four sleepovers, how do you know I do all those things?"
"Negative. You do it a lot actually. It never makes much sense, just random words. You've said my name a few times though."
She blushed a deep shade of pink. "Even in my dreams you won't leave me alone."
I noticed that she'd braided her hair to the side for a change, shaping her face and showing off her flawless cheekbones, as the majority of her hair was scraped off her face. A few strands of chocolate colored hair fell delicately across her eyes. Before she could brush it away, I moved my fingers gently across her face, moving the hair behind her ear before slowly leaning in and kissing her lips softly. "Good morning." I whispered in-between small, cute kisses.
"Afternoon." She corrected as she snaked her arms around my neck, forcing my messy bed hair out of the way.
"Shut up." I smirked into the kiss, moving my lips harder onto hers. I pulled her closer, holder her tighter as she moved herself on top of me, her legs straddling either side of me.
She pulled away ever so slightly to breathe, trying not to show just how vulnerable she seemed to be in that position. She took a moment, moving the hair from her face again, her tongue moving around her top lip as her eyes captured mine. She moved forwards again, wrapping her arms around my neck, her eyes zooming from my eyes to my lips and back. I grabbed her hips and gently pulled our bodies together. She bit her lip eagerly, her eyes filled with passion. There was heat between us, radiating, making us glow. I could feel butterflies in my tummy as she leaned down with her soft, pink lips and planted a soft sensual kiss on my mouth.
"You have bed breath." She sat up, putting her full weight onto me. "Are your parents in?"
I copied her, sitting up and holding her body against me. "Fuck off." I laughed to her first comment, kissing her once more. "No, they are at work. Now get off me. We need to get ready for tonight." I'd avoided my Mom totally since last week and I'd gotten the feeling that she was doing the same. We both knew it was for the best.
She flicked her long legs off me gracefully. "Tonight?"
"We're going to a pool party." I eyed her up and down, she looked cute. She was in a denim skirt with a floral top and converse. "You look too cute, you can't wear that tonight, pick something from my closet."
"Oh, ok." She made her way towards my closet, scanning my clothes with her eyes, her fingers fumbling through the materials. "What are you going to wear?"
I pointed to a small, blue dress laid out on the bed beside a pair of black heels. "It makes my boobs look even bigger." I chuckled. "Pick something while I shower, or you can wait and I can help dress you."
She blushed harder than before, looking back into my closet again. "Enjoy your shower, Jade."
...
"JADE!" My bedroom door swung open, slamming against the wall and swinging back to an almost close. "Jade, I'm hungry. What's for dinner?" Jett stood in his favourite pyjamas, an action man in his hand.
"Hasn't Mom made you anything?" I looked at the clock on my wall. "She should have been home an hour ago."
"Well she isn't home and I'm hungry. I have to go to bed soon too. Have I been naughty? Is she punishing me?" A desperate look appeared on the seven year olds face as he looked at the clock behind me.
"No." I rolled my eyes. Trust my Mom to stay out late, leaving me to deal with her responsibilities. I should be used to her shit now, but it still surprised me how inconsiderate she could be. "I need to get ready, can you just have some cereal?"
"I'm a growing boy, I need three meals a day, Jade!" He argued.
"I'm not cooking you food, it's gone seven. I-"
Tori cut me off. "I'll make him some dinner, I'm almost ready. It's no bother."
"I like Tori, she's nice. She pays attention to me, unlike you guys!" He stuck his tongue out at me as he snatched Tori's hand, dragging her out of my bedroom.
"I like her too." I mumbled back to him, making sure I had the last word before continuing with getting myself ready.
…
"So whose party is this?" Tori questioned as we walked side by side.
"Someone I know."
"Who?" She spoke again, more serious this time. "I told my Mom I would text her with the details so she wouldn't worry."
I rolled my eyes. "Mama's girl." I joked.
"Am not." She argued, sticking her tongue out.
"I don't really know them. It's a friend of a friends party." I admitted. "I heard about the party from word on the grapevine. I bet you wanna go home now, right?"
"Of course not." She replied, trying to sound confident. "I want to party. Plus I want to show off my new bikini, it's pink!" She giggled, shaking her shoulders seductively towards me.
"Good." I laughed deeply. "Tonight is going to be a messy night, Tori. Prepare yourself."
"Holy shit, is this where the party is?" Tori's mouth dropped open as I pushed open a heavy metal gate leading to the entrance of the house.
The first thing we could see was people. People surrounding the bar, people dancing, people in the pool. The party was buzzing with life. The house itself was large and expensive looking. Big windows and doors overlooking the whole of LA. Disco lights flew around the yard, floating over the pool and creating colorful reflections in the water. Loud music blared from a DJ based at the front of the house beside the pool.
"This place is amazing." Tori walked beside me; her eyes wide as she took it all in. I could see her brown eyes scanning the horizon in front of the pool. The entirety of LA lay below us, the bright lights shining like stars in the sky.
"Welcome to my world." I lead us into the house, again Tori's reaction being priceless.
"Do his parents know he throws huge parties like this?" She questioned, looking around the somewhat empty house compared to outside.
"Yeah, Mario throws some pretty sick parties. His parents are always going away and leaving him home alone." I placed my bag down in one of the various bedrooms in the house, quickly throwing my clothes off to reveal my bikini.
"I'm scared."
"Why?" I cocked my eyebrow at her as I scraped my hair into a high ponytail.
"I don't know anyone. I'm not good at making friends." She bit her nails, half covering her body.
"Don't be stupid. You made friends with me, I think that proves you can befriend anyone." I rolled my eyes at her. "You'll be fine, you've got me by your side." I kissed her lips softly as she went to speak. "Ok?"
She nodded. "I need a drink."
"That's my girl." I kissed her once more before leaving the bedroom in only our bikinis. "Vodka?"
She nodded again. "Of course."
...
After a few drinks Tori relaxed, dancing and singing loudly to the music playing. It was the first time I'd seen her so wild and free. She was mingling with the other party guests as though she'd known them for years. It amazed me how much confidence she had when drunk. If only she had that kind of confidence when she was sober.
"This is the best party ever." She slurred to me, wrapping her arms around my waist. "Let's go swimming!" She stole my hand, dragging me towards the swimming pool.
"Jump." I uttered. "I dare you."
Before I could say another word, Tori was submerged in the dark water.
"Fucking hell." I muttered to myself, half laughing as I jumped in quickly after her. The water hit me hard, the cold water almost hugging my skin as I sunk deeper in it. I opened my eyes only to see darkness looming around me, with several tiny bubbles heading for the surface. A quiet noise swam around my ears, almost silence.
"You were under water for ages."
I took a deep and long breath as I hit the waters surface. "I know. I like being in the water."
"Me too." She swam towards me as I held on to the edge, moving her arms around my waist to hold on.
"What's the matter, Tori? Can't swim?" I joked.
"I'm actually really good at swimming, I used to swim for my schools team." I could almost pretty much see her cocky face without even facing her. "I like it here."
"How much have you had to drink?" I smirked, turning to face her. I struggled slightly as I gained balance on my tip toes.
"The same as you." She chuckled. "What are you doing? Training for the ballet?" She looked down at my feet. "You're on point!"
"I actually am trained in ballet. I hate it though. It's too strict. I'm don't do well with rules."
"I've noticed. It's good to break the rules every now and again though." She lent forward, stealing a kiss from me. "You make me want to break all the rules, Miss West."
"Then I'm doing something right."
"Do you know what I like best about all this? Besides the view, alcohol and music." She watched me nod slowly. "I like how we can be just us and no one judges us. Not one person has given us a weird look for kissing or for dancing together. No one cares. That's how it should always be."
"Everyone here is cool like that. Plus they'd be a bit hypocritical of them to judge us when half of them do drugs on the regular." I smiled, trying to hide my blushing cheeks. "But I get what you mean. It's nice to be myself."
"Are you getting out?" She tred water, her little head bobbing up and down as I pulled myself out of the water.
"No. I'm getting a cigarette, want one?"
She shook her head vigorously. "No thank you." I half expected her to lecture me on how I'd get lung cancer or how it would ruin my singing voice, but nothing.
I sat with my feet dipping into the pool, Tori swimming beside me. "I only smoke at parties really. I like the taste when I'm drunk."
Tori bobbed up and down, bouncing against the pool floor as she held herself up. "It's fine. I've tried a cigarette before, I just don't like the taste. But all my friends smoke so I'm used to the smell."
"Watch this, I can do tricks." I waited until she was still, her eyes glued on me and the cigarette. I took a deep drag, making sure I didn't take back before I opened my mouth into an 'o' shape, almost coughing from the back of my throat and releasing the smoke in an 'o' from my mouth.
Tori grinned, a giggle leaving her mouth. "That's so cool. Who taught you that?"
"Someone at a party a while back. It's my party trick." I went back to smoking normally, flicking the remaining cigarette into the grass beside me. "So you're used to the smell, eh Vega? What about the taste?" My eyebrow rose with a smirk on my face as I slipped back into the pool beside her, placing my lips on hers as she tried to reply.
"I wouldn't know, until now." She spoke heavily inbetween kisses.
My eyes scanned the yard, the mass of people were gone. The house was lit up, but apart from the music still being played from the iPod dock by the DJ stand, there was silence. "I think everyone's gone to bed." I whispered against her ear, moving my wet body closer to hers.
"Maybe we should go to bed then?" She replied, biting her lip as I moved my lips onto her neck. "I mean real bed."
"No you don't." I bit her neck gently, forcing a moan out of her lips.
"No I don't." She admitted. "Stop." She moaned again, trying pathetically to push me off her.
"Don't even pretend you mean that." I smirked, pushing my lips onto her neck again, breathing heavily against her wet skin. "Ever been skinny dipping, Tori?"
Her eyes widened as I moved my hands around her back, un-clipping her bikini top in one quick movement. "Once." She murmured as I took the pink top off her, throwing it behind me on the pool side.
"Oh really?" I replied with an impressed tone to my voice. I moved our bodies close as I undid my top the same as hers.
She nodded slightly, biting her lip with a smirk as I felt her fingers graze across my back, making a shiver run down my spine. Her hand moved carefully up my back and moved slowly across my neck, ending up just below my cheeks. "Doesn't skinny dipping mean totally naked, Jade?" Her hands moved back down to my hips, moving slowly under the water across my wet skin. My stomach tensed and filled with nerves as her fingers played over the top of my bikini bottoms. Her eyes stayed connected on mine as she began pulling them down over my legs.
My naked body felt weightless as the water glided around me, water flowing across every inch of my body. "Brave move." I beamed.
The smirk remained on her pink lips as she took the remainder of her bikini off, throwing it into the dark distance. "What if someone see's us?" The smirk dropped slightly as she held herself close to me, our cool bodies brushing past one another as we held ourselves up in the water.
"Everyone's asleep. It has to be almost four in the morning, no one will come out now. Don't worry." I reassured her, sealing it with a kiss. As our lips meet again I can't help but tremble as my hands move across her body, moving slowly across each of her breasts. Tori moaned against my lips as my hands explored her body, her own hands becoming tangled in my wet hair. Her whole body tensed, a loud moan tumbling from deep within her as I slid two fingers into her.
"Shit." She moaned, a shimmer of shock on her face, biting my lip as she kissed me harder than before. She shuddered and moaned in loud desperate pleasure as I pushed deeper inside her. Her soft body moved in time with my fingers as her moans became louder.
Tori paused for a moment, slipping her hand down my tense body and mirroring what I was doing to her. A gasp left my lips as I felt her pushing against me. I had never felt more alive in my entire life. It was like I was plugged in. Wired. I was the center of everything, and it all revolved around me: the world, the sun, the stars.
"Move." I moaned, letting go of Tori and pulling the desperate girl towards the steps of the pool, positioning her on the top step above the water. I entered her a second time, deeper and harder than before, moving my lips down her smooth body, starting on her chest and moving down to her thighs. I could feel her leg muscles tensing and shaking as I began to kiss towards her centre. My own stomach tensed as I got closer.
"Oh my god." She threw her head back as my lips moved onto her centre, my tongue moving in circles around her as my fingers moved faster. My nerves quickly went away as I judged the sound of her moans, moving my tongue faster to make her moans harder. Her hands collapsed on my head, her fingers moving through my hair and pulling tighter on me.
"Oh my god." She repeated as I felt her whole body tense against me. A long and loud moan fell from her lips as she pulled my body up to her's, smashing her lips onto mine passionately, trying to catch her breath as she held me tight. "That was perfect." She breathed heavily. "Just wow." She was still breathless as she let go of me.
"Good." I grinned, a smug look on my face. "You taste amazing."
"Do I?" She raised her eyebrow at me playfully, kissing my lips once more before pulling at my waist to swap our positions round, her fingers running down my thighs, digging her nails in ever so slightly.
"Fuck." I whispered, biting my lip hard to hide the moans trying to force their way out of me.
She dragged her hands back up my thighs, mimicking what I had done to her earlier by kissing my thighs before moving directly onto my center. My whole body relaxed, butterflies fluttering around my stomach as I felt her warm tongue against me. The pleasure was better than I'd ever had before. I could feel my stomach tensing as she moved her tongue all over, flicking fast over my clit, forcing a quiet moan out of my lips. I could feel a smile peel across her as she heard my moans grow.
"Shit, shit, fuck." I cursed, running my fingers through my own hair as I arched my back against the pool steps as the pleasure increased. "Fu-fuck." I gasped one last time as my entire body tensed, stars covering my eyes until I finally relaxed against her. "Shit." I moaned into her as I placed my lips on her once again.
We moved back into the deeper end of the pool, the water covering us like a cool blanket. I couldn't take my eyes off her; her long hair was starting to dry, slight curls springing from the top of her head. Her face was slightly red, her cheeks a pale shade of pink. Her brown eyes were filled with the reflection of the stars above us. I'd never felt so infatuated with anyone in my life. I wasn't just attracted to Tori, I was obsessed with her. "You look beautiful."
"When did you turn so soppy?" She giggled slightly. "Thank you." Her cheeks stayed pink as she held her warm body against mine. "So are you."
"I really like you." I admitted, my cheeks turning as pink as her's.
"I really like you too." She kissed my lips softly. "I think it's time for bed now though. For real this time." She stepped out of the pool, the water dripping off her tanned body like a waterfall.
"Yes Miss." I laughed, catching my towel as she threw it towards me. I couldn't hide the smile on my lips, it stretched across my face from cheek to cheek. I'd never felt this way about anyone, not about Beck, not about any celebrity. This was more than a crush, it was more than infatuation and it scared me. Nothing had ever scared me before, but this beautiful girl, who I'd only known for just over a month made me feel weak at the knees, like I'd do anything for her, like I'd die without her. I couldn't remember a time before I met Tori.
"Goodnight, Jade. Thank you for tonight." She curled her body into mine as we cuddled in bed.
"Goodnight." I yawned, turning to kiss her forehead before entwining our hands together.
My heart raced and my stomach tensed as I lay awake, listening to her heavy breathing beside me. I could feel her chest rising up and down against my back. My hand tightened against her's as my mind raced along with my heart. She scared me, not her personally, but her feelings scared me. I knew I liked her more than she liked me, and that terrified me.
A/N - Wow it took me a long time to update. Sorry! I went on holiday to Spain and the majority of the pool part actually happened to me ;P
Did you guys see that Dan and the cast want to do a Victorious Finale? I actually almost cried when I found out!
Anyway, I hope you are all having a nice summer vacation :)
Let me know what you guys think about this update, do you think Jade likes Tori more than Tori likes her? This is a pretty long update so a few reviews would be lovely ;)
