A/N: I'm so glad that I got a good response from the first chapter! Thank you to those of you reviewed and followed and Favorited it so far! I have a question for you... At the moment I'm being vague as to who Andre, Beck and Trina are dating because I'm not sure who I should pair them with... Do you think Andre should be with Trina or do you think Trina should be with Beck? Or should I just create oc's? Anyway, let me know... Hope you like this chapter...

Chapter Two:

"So... Um... let me get this straight. No pun intended... You and Jade... are an item now?" Andre asks me. Jade and I are sitting in a coffee shop next to each other, her arm draped round my shoulder while Andre, Beck and Trina sit opposite us. I nod and turn to face, Jade giving her a 'Loving gaze'. One that I practiced all morning as I prepared to tell our friends... or well lie to our friends.

"Yep... Jade and I are an item now" I conclude. Trina gives me a look that says; 'Really? this one?' but I ignore it and smile happily as if nothing in this world could make me happier than to be sitting next to the one and only Jade west.

"I can't believe it!" Andre remarks, his eyes still wide in shock. Jade shifts a little beside me then I feel her inch closer. I turn to face the goth as I watch her intently. Then all of a sudden without me even realizing it she pulls me into a heated kiss to which I freeze but after a while I return as I feel the gazes of our friends on us. We've gotta act the part, right?

"Now do you believe it?" Jade asks as she pulls away a smirk playing at her lips. Andre holds up his hands in defense and chuckles a little.

"Alright, I believe you... Just please don't have sex to prove it!" Andre laughs a little, Beck chuckles along with him whilst my sisters eyes widen in horror.

"Great! Now you've got that image in my head! Not that I don't approve of this... relationship... but Tori's my sister! Ew!" Trina winces, glaring at Andre a little. Andre's smile falters.

"Yeah, you're right... sorry" He apologizes. I turn my gaze to Beck, he seems to be the only one who hasn't said anything. He looks to me and then to Jade and I wonder what he's thinking.

"Um... Tori... could I have a word?" Beck asks, bringing me out of my daze. I nod and follow him outside the coffee shop so we could have a private conversation. He looks over his shoulder to make sure we're along before turning to me.

"Are you sure?" He asks me. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. What does he mean?

"Am I sure about what, Beck?" I ask him. He runs his hands through his extremely perfect hair and sighs.

"About Jade... I mean I'm not one to judge... I dated her in High-School for a looonngg time but... She has a problem Tori... She's in a lot of debt and you just lost all your furniture... are you sure that you can go through with this relationship knowing all that?" Beck wondered. His intentions were pure, I knew that he still deeply cared or the girl even though they had broken up a very long time ago but I was slightly annoyed. Yeah, Jade and I were only pretending to be in love but still, I had to defend her honor!

"Look Beck! I know about the gambling... I know she owes you money and all that but I'm willing to see past that and give her a shot" I tell him firmly. He nods.

"I just wanted to make sure you knew, that's all" He defended himself.

"well I do... how much debt are we talking though?" I wondered aloud, Jade still hadn't informed me of that detail. He looked me straight in the eyes and sighed. He looked straight over to the coffee shop and concern spilled over his olive complexion before he turned back to me.

"Enough to borrow Eight grand from me!" He says and I feel my mouth drop open. That was a hefty amount of money!

"But her borrowing goes beyond me..." He tells me. "So I'm going to ask you again, Are you sure?"

"Yes! I am" I tell him. I'm not about to ruin our plan because of Jade's problem which I already knew was bad anyway!

"Good" He remarks before heading back inside with me following closely behind. I creep into the seat next to Jade and kiss her on the cheek. That is what couples do!

Later that same day Jade and I head to my apartment. Since she'd basically been kicked out of her cheap apartment, I offered for her to stay with me, you know considering we are supposed to be getting engaged soon and it was the right thing to do. Luckily she had a decent amount of furniture... Like a bed for starters and a very small and tacky... yet comfortable couch. She even had a fluffy rug that would compliment my living room nicely.

"So... what did Beck want earlier?" Jade asked me, once we'd finished placing her furniture around the apartment. I callapsed on the couch that we'd just put in place and sighed.

"He was just asking if I was sure about dating you" I explained, smiling a little. Jade rolled her eyes as she sat beside me on the couch.

"What did you say?" She asked.

"I said I was going to give you a shot despite your gambling habits" I tell her truthfully. Although, I doubt had this been a real relationship I would have been so willing... but it wasn't this was purely for one thing... money!

"Anyway... you are going to regular meetings for gambling addicts!" I inform her. Her eyes widen in shock and she glares at me. I shrug.

"You have a problem, Jade!" I remind her.

"Yeah and it's you!" She tells me. I glare at her.

"Is that how you talk to your fiance?" I tease.

"You're forgetting something there, Vega. We're not actually engaged yet... were not even pretending to be engaged yet!" She reminds me.

"Yes, but it's not like we're going to magically break up before you pop the question! It's a fake relationship" I retort to which she just rolls her eyes.

"Who say's I propose... What about you?" She asks.

"Well we could draw straws... or play rock paper scissors" I suggest, she rolls her eyes but places her right fist in front of her.

"Best out of three" She informs me before we start the usual counting of rock paper scissors.

The first go I have paper and she has scissors, then I have rock and she has scissors again... then I have scissors and she has rock. Jade gives me a wink.

"I win! That means you have to propose to me!" She exclaims.

"Fine!" I agree.

"Ooh... But let's make this interesting!" Jade says, her eyes lighting up like the 4th of July. I give her a questioning look.

"I'm listening" I assure her.

"You're proposal... Not only does it have to be in front of our friends... you know so they know it's happening. I mean this is a show purely reserved for them... but it has to be so good that I don't see it coming!" Jade says.

"I don't know Jade... seems a like a lot of work" I say unsure of myself.

"It'll be fun!" Jade insists.

"Maybe" I agree.

"Good. Now move aside! I'm sleeping here tonight!" Jade says pushing me off of the couch. I land on the hard wooden floors with a bump and mutter things I only hope, Jade can't hear as I help myself up and head towards the bedroom. I change into my night clothes then pick up a few blankets from being folded up on the floor and hand them to Jade. She nods in response of them.

"You're welcome!" I call for no reason as I head back to my room and settle into... what technically is, Jade's bed. I ignore the fact that she offered to sleep on the couch and let me sleep on the only bed in the house as I settle into the bed.

A loud ringing brings me out of my slumber as I reach for my pear phone. Who was calling me?

"M-hmm" I mumble into the phone.

"Is it true!" A loud and happy voice calls from the other end. One that I can only recognize as Cat Valentines voice!

"Cat! aren't you on your honeymoon?" I ask as I bolt upright in the bed. I glance over to my clock, it's 3 am in the morning. Cat!

"Yeah. I am so is it true?" She asks happily.

"Is what true?" I ask.

"That you and Jade are together now?" She asks. I sigh, I nearly forgot about that.

"Yes, Cat!" I tell her.

"Oh Goody, Goody! That's great!" Cat exclaims happily from the other end of the line. "When Robbie and I get back, we MUST double date!" She tells me happily.

"Yes, Cat" I agree. Jade is going to love this!

"Good, I'll let you get back to sleep... Bye Tori!" Cat says before hanging up. I put my cell back where it was and relax back into bed, I have to be up in a few hours for work. I am currently working on my first single and it's going okay so far but it is a lot of work.

A/N: I'm going to end it here. So let me know what you thought. If there is anything I need to improve on? Also who you'd pair Trina with? Let me know in a review! :) Thanks for reading!
