Guess who's back. Back again, Nikki's back; tell some friends! Sorry for the super long wait. Life has been super crazy! Good news though, I'm sick! Why is that good news? It gave me the kick to get back here and put up the next chapter! It hasn't been seen by my beta. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing so Medlie Skyth, if you happen to catch this and still want to be my beta, let me know. :)
Still don't own Victorious..hey did anyone catch the question on Jeopardy last night? I jumped up yelling VICTORIOUS! I got strange looks from the rents. lol
Okay, off to the super long chapter to make up for moths of not posting. Also *waves* Thanks to all of you who have reviewed!
Chapter 13
As we pull up I can't help but marvel at the beauty of the empty beach. Beck and Jade climb out and I reluctantly follow. I watch as Jade grabs a blanket from the trunk.
"Come on Vega," following her I watch as she spreads the blanket and places her shoes on two of the corners. Walking over to the other side she holds her hand out to me.
"Oh," I quickly slide out of my sandals and hand them to her. Looking around the only other sign of human life is a house a few hundred yards away.
Turning back I see Beck strip off his shirt and I can't stop myself from licking my lips. He laughs and shakes his head as he drops his hands to his pants.I feel my cheeks flame and look at Jade hoping for help only to see she's already lost her shirt and pants.
"What if they see you?" I wave my hand towards the house.
"No one is there." Jade says
"How do you know?"
"Jade's dad owns it." I ignore the sound of his clothes joining Jades.
"Your turn." I shake my head at Jade's statement.
"You can't go in in your clothes. What will you wear home?" I chance a glance at Beck to see his thumbs hooked in his boxers.
"Please don't take those off." I request as I drop to the blanket. Hiding my face in my knees I tense as I hear him follow me. I suck in a quick breath when I feel his hand on my shoulder.
"I won't. Please look at me." He says after I don't turn around. "I wasn't going to. I..I get that your not..not ready to see another man naked." He stumbles out.
"Its not that I'm not ready." I spit the word out and shake my head before pushing up and walking towards the water. I stand there arms crossed watching the waves roll in and out. Trying to calm down, trying to get his voice out of my head. A few minutes later a naked Jade trots pass me without a word. Watching the waves slowly swallow her up I can't help but stare.
"Beautiful, isn't she?" I jump not having noticed Beck standing beside me. I nod silently. He follows her out and I can't help but stare at his beauty also. After both of them are in I turn and head back over to the blanket.
Making my way to their clothes I look back to see them splashing around. I bring my hands up and slide my over shirt off, having left my jacket in Jade's car. Dropping it down I look back to make sure no one is watching. My hands start to shake as I lift my cami. I get it up over my stomach before letting it go. Laying down I ignore the tears gathering in my eyes as I stare up at the stars.
"You can do this Tori!" I whisper after the tears have slowed. I undo the button and quickly slide out of my jeans. Sitting up to fold them I freeze when I see Beck a few feet away. Clearing my throat I fold my jeans and avoid eye contact. I sit there pretending everything is normal and ignore him. Out of the corner of my eye I watch as he sits down on the other side of the clothes.
"You okay?" Looking over at him finally I see him watching Jade. Turning to watch her too I think about it.
"I don't know."
"You know you don't have to go this weekend."
"I know." We sit there quietly for a few minutes.
"I'm going back in. You coming?" He stands up and holds out a hand to me. I watch him and see a tiny frown as he starts to lower his hand. I place my hand in his and take a deep breath before pushing myself up. Walking hand in hand we slowly make our way to the water. I freeze at the first touch of the water.
"It's cold."
I give him a look. "No shit." Beck laughs and pulls me in.
"Took you long enough." Jade says when we finally make our way over to her. Jade lays back and floats. Beck, letting go of my hand, moves over and kisses her.
"Polo" he says then dives under.
Jade stands up and tilts her head trying to get some water out of her ear. "What did he say?"
I smile taking a step back. "Polo!" I go under and swim the other way.
Coming back up I hear Jade, "Are you both stupid? You can't play Marco Polo in the ocean."
"Why not?" Jade turns and swims closer to me.
"Because Tori," it's then I notice her eyes are closed, "what if I swim out and get eaten by a shark?"
I slowly circle her before answering, "Don't worry, most people survive shark attacks."
Jade lunges for me and I throw myself back. Diving under I swim towards Beck. Coming up a few feet away from him, I turn to see Jade about ten feet away from us facing the bank.
"Marco"
"Polo"
Jade turns towards us and slowly makes her way over. I slide behind Beck and lightly touch his back.
"Marco"
"Polo" I saw as low as I can.
Just as Jade makes her move, Beck turns wrapping his arms around my waist he brings me in between them. I can't stop the half scream/half laugh that escapes as I feel Jade's hand land on my leg.
"I win." She smiles proudly, "What do I get?" She steps closer and its only then that I notice Becks arms are still wrapped around me. His fingers lightly teasing my sides where the cami has risen up.
"I'm it?" I ask nervously. She shakes her head still coming closer. I back up into Beck.
"Hot tub and a massage?" I let out a deep breath as Jade smiles at Beck.
"What kind of massage?"
"Tori will get your shoulders and I'll take your feet." She looks over at me and I nod.
"But where can we get a hot tub?" Jade rolls her eyes at my question as she takes the final step bringing her body right up against mine. Quickly kissing Beck she turns and starts making her way to the shore.
"Come on." taking my hand again he leads me out of the water. Jade makes her way to our stuff and grabs a towel. Wrapping it around her she takes the other two and holds them out to us.
I take one and quickly dry myself off before wrapping it around me. I stare confused as she wraps our clothes in the blanket and picks up her shoes.
"I still don't, where's the hot tub?"
"Where do you think?" Jade turns and starts heading towards the house. Grabbing my shoes I follow.
Jade quickly pulls the key from its hiding place and leads us into the dark house. Not bothering with the lights, Jade takes us past the living room, kitchen and into the master bedroom. Walking through it she drops her bundle before making her way through a door on the other side of the room. Beck nudges me and I follow into what I think is the master bath.
Jade turns on the low lighting and I look around. Marble flooring surrounds a large jacuzzi. A rack of towels are on one side with a door beside it, that must lead to the bathroom and a mini fridge on the other.
"My moms gift before leaving. She turned her closet into the bathroom and put this here."
Walking over to the fridge she grabs three bottles, two glass and one plastic. She fiddles with some knobs I didn't notice I hear the jets turn on. I look over to it before bringing my eyes back to her I watch as she drops the towel and makes her way into the water. Settling down in front of a jet she sets the bottle of water down with one of the glass bottles. I watch as she pops the top and takes a big sip of her drink. she looks over at us, "You coming?" Beck makes his way over but Jade stops him before he can step in, "Off."
"Jade,"
"You know the rules Beck. No clothes in the jacuzzi." I start to open my mouth before she cuts me off, "For Beck. You can keep yours on but his gotta go. You can close your eyes if you don't want to see."
I cross my arms and stare at her until I notice Beck's hands going towards his boxers, I turn my head away.
"Going to stand there all night?" Looking over I see Beck sitting beside her drinking from the water bottle. Dropping my towel over his boxers I slip in sighing at the warmth. Jade holds the other bottle out to me, top already removed. I take it unsure. It's Smirnoff Ice Green Apple. "Try it, if you don't like it you can go get a water." Taking a small sip I decide its not bad and relax a bit further into the water.
Jade lets me relax for a few more minutes before moving in front of me. "Sit back." Doing as I'm told, I'm surprised when Jade sits down in my lap. Looking over at Beck I see Jade's toes peek up out of the water. Oh, right. Beck takes her right foot in his hands as I raise mine up to her shoulders.
Jade moans in approval as she lets out a little sigh. I look over at Beck and smile. We enjoy out little moment before getting back to the task at hand.
Its been thirty minutes and the only sounds have been Jade's moans, sighs and one "fuck, this is nice". Jade is laying back into me now and I'm working on her hands. I pause only for the few seconds it takes for me to take another sip of my bottle. Its my second. Beck having paused between feet to get Jade and I both another one. When I asked why he isn't drinking he replied, 'It tastes like shit.' Jade kicked some water at him for that comment before we settled back down.
"Where did you learn this?" She asks lazily.
"Took a class once." She hums.
"Tori?"
"Yeah?" I smile. I've never seen Jade like this before.
"Your shirt is itchy."
"I'm sorry." I see her pout and I can't stop the snort of laughter that escapes me. "Your just trying to get me to take my shirt off."
"No I'm not." She denies. Looking up at Beck he is staring very intently at her feet but I can still see the smile on his face. I push her up and slide the wet cloth off before pulling her back down covering myself.
"Is she always like this?" He looks up as he switches feet again.
"When there is a hot tub, massage? Yeah." I smile taking her hand back up.
"Tori's turn!"
"No, that's okay. I'll get mine later" I say holding her in front of me.
"Whatever." She scoots down a little and relaxes. Letting go of her hand I lightly run my fingers up and down her arms.
"Mmm" I look up to notice Beck is leaning back, eyes closed. Watching him I notice something move under the water. My fingers stop the trek as I realize what Jade is doing.
"What? You skipped your turn so it's Beck's. Jade slips off my lap and onto Becks.
Listening to them kiss, I cross my arms and turn my head. This is wrong. I stand up grabbing a towel off the rack as I pass, I walk out the door and make my way to the kitchen. Moving into the corner I slide down and let the tears fall quietly.
"Tori." I hear both of them call me. "Go check outside." As soon as the door shuts the light in the living room goes on. Its not long before Jade makes her way over to me.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have started that."
"He's your boyfriend. You can do whatever you want with him."
"Tori,"
"Just go please."
"No," she leans on the wall beside me before sliding down. We sit there in almost silence, my sniffles the only sound.
"Talk to me please?"
"I can't."
"Why not?" Jade slaps her hands against the floor.
"Because its wrong." I whisper.
"What is?"
"He was right."
"Who was?" We both hear the front door open. I wipe at my face as Beck walks in. He looks at us for a bit before settling down in front of me.
"Tori," Jade says carefully.
"Huh?"
"Who was right?"
"He was." I stress.
"What was he right about?" Beck tries. Looking down I can't stop hearing his voice.
"I'm a slut." I whisper.
"What?!"
"Tori, your not," Beck tries to touch me but I pull away.
"Why on earth would you say that?" Jade is standing over us now yelling. I pull my knees up and cover my ears.
"Babe, calm down." Beck reaches for Jade but she pushes him away.
"Don't tell me to calm down!"
"Look at her! Your not helping!" I lower my hands as Jade and I both stare at him. I think this is the first time I've seen him raise his voice at her. Jade sighs and drops back to her knees.
"Tori, look at me." She grabs my hand and I finally let my eyes meet hers. "Why would you say that?" I can see in her eyes she's pleading for me to tell her.
"A month ago I was raped and now I'm having to fight with myself daily not to kiss you or watch or-"I cut off unable to continue.
"Well then, what does that make me?" I look at her confused. "The night I was attacked I fucked Beck."
"You were-"
"Does that make me a slut?"
"No," I shake my head.
"Then why would it make you one? Now, unless you were off fucking the whole football team on the nights you aren't with us...your not are you?" I shake my head again. "Good."
"You were raped?"
"No, I came home late one night to find one of my dads friends was staying over. He cornered me in the kitchen. Grabbed a knife off the counter and said if I screamed he'd kill me. I tried to fight him off but he was just to big. My dad came in as he was shoving his hand down my pants. Hit him over the head with an empty beer bottle that was near the doorway. I ran out of the house and straight to Beck."
"I'm sorry." I wipe away the few tears that I shed during her story.
"Me too."
"Your not a slut."
"Neither are you."
"Neither am I" I repeat. Beck slides his hand into mine and I jump. I almost forgot he was there.
"Well, now that we all know we're not sluts, how about we head to bed?"
"Here?"
"Its my house Vega." Jade stands and it's then I realize that we're all in nothing but towels.
"And maybe some clothes?" Beck pulls me up and Jade takes my hand.
"I might be able to find you a shirt but I can tell you right now there are no fuzzy pants." I laugh and let her lead me back into the bedroom.
So..I need to find the notebook I write this story in before I post another chapter (I only have one more chapter on my computer!) but it shouldn't be to long of a wait. I'm also thinking about posting this on tumblr. I use to post just my favorite parts from each chapter but I think I'm going to do the whole thing. Not sure yet.
