Jade POV
It had been a week since we told Andre that we were dating, so far no one seemed to have realized that we were dating or they hadn't mentioned it if they had. I was sitting in the waiting room at the hospital with Vega for her check up. She was sitting tapping her foot annoyingly, I sigh reaching over and taking her hand. I didn't understand why she hated hospitals so much. We had our first fight a few days ago because I caught her in the basement attempting to lift some weights and punch that stupid bag of hers. Since then it had been a little awkward we had both apologized and explained why we were so upset, things still seemed tense though and I was afraid I was going to blow up at her and mess this up like I did with Beck.
"Vega" the nurse calls and Vega gets up she pauses looking at me.
"Um did you want to come or wait here" I open my mouth to tell her I'll wait but she's still fidgety and looking nervous so I get up and grab her hand following the nurse.
"The doctor will be right in," the nurse says before leaving, after asking Vega a bunch of invasive questions.
"Thank you, for coming with me" Vega mutters, playing with her hands in form of her. "Are we okay? Things have been all awkward lately"
"I don't know," I tell her honestly.
"Are you still mad at me?" She asks.
"No, are you still mad at me"
"No, I had no reason to be mad at you. I was being stupid I just hate feeling useless when I'm hurt" she mutters, "Thank you for taking care of me, even though I was being difficult" I get up from the chair I'm in taking the few steps that were separating us and wrap my arms around her.
"You aren't useless when you're hurt you just need to learn to slow down and take the time to heal" I kiss her forehead and internally groan I have become way too soft. "I don't like seeing you hurt"
"I know I'm sorry," she says just as the doctor walks in and starts poking at Vega, I return to my seat finding Vega's facial expressions very amusing although I'm slightly worried about her attacking the doctor.
"Alright, you are cleared for exercise again but ease into it. You don't want to risk hurting yourself again"
"Am I safe to ride my bike again?" she asks, he sighs nodding muttering under his breath about how dangerous motorbikes are in general. Vega jumps up telling her thanks to the doctor and dragging me out of the hospital.
"Come on I'm taking you on a date" I roll my eyes at her excitement, although I had missed her bike. I drive us back to her house so we can get her bike out of the garage. She grins passing me, my helmet and climbing on waiting impatiently for me to get on too. As soon as I'm holding on she pulls out of the garage speeding out.
"Where are you taking me?" I ask after we have been driving for a while and I still don't recognize my surroundings.
"Do you remember the diner I took you to a while back? I thought we could go there but if you want to go somewhere else that's okay too"
"No, that sounds good," I tell her, remembering the food which was amazing. We pull into the dinner a little later and I try to remember directions a little better this time. Molly waved to us as we head straight passed her and the customers she is serving and go to the back room which we were in last time.
"This is only part one by the way so don't go crazy," Vega tells me.
"I'm guessing it's going to be a surprise" I sigh when she grins and nods. "Isn't it my turn to take you on a date"
"This is more of a thank you than a date," she tells me as a server comes in to take our order.
"You have said thank you a million times," I tell her.
"Yes, but this is a thank you for taking care of me as well as a not yelling at me and getting too angry with me," she tells me.
"I'm trying to be less, grumpy you haven't been making it easy"
"Well I'll try to be less annoying, now I believe our it's your turn to ask a bunch of questions," she tells me reaching over to hold my hand on top of the table. I grin, I like our little tradition on our dates with questions. I also like how honest she is with me no matter what the question is.
"Really a doctor?" I ask her, I had asked her what she wanted to do after school and definitely hadn't expected that answer.
"A physical therapist, it's not guaranteed that I will be able to make it as a singer and Shelby Marx won't be around for ever" she sighs when I glare at her "because I quit fighting not because I'm too injured to continue" she corrects and I give a satisfied nod.
"But you would have to deal with like feet and stuff," I say still trying to understand her to back up plan when I asked what she wanted to do after school, I thought she would say be in a movie or go on tour not become a doctor. I have to keep her away from Dad I don't want her giving him any ideas about needing a backup.
"I want to be able to help people, and I don't really like the idea of cutting them up or anything. I've met a lot of physical therapists they all say they like their work, while as much as anyone can like their job" she says, finishing her last few fries and pushing the plate to the side. "Don't you have a backup?" She asks I had always been so against having a back up seeing it as a way of admitting to my Dad that I wouldn't be able to become an actress.
"I never thought about it I guess" I sigh.
"Well, you won't need one I'm sure you're going to be an amazing actress or maybe a writer," she tells me. "Now this got a little deep. Let me go pay and we can go on to part two"
"A fair?" I ask as we climb off her bike.
"Yes, they are supposed to have a great haunted house," she tells me, grabbing my hand "We don't have to go in if you don't want to I just thought it would be fun," she tells me. I shake my head dragging her towards the entrance.
"I want to see the haunted house now" she insists on paying for the tickets, even though I try to reason that she paid for dinner but she won't listen telling me I could pay for snacks later if I wanted.
"Haunted house first" I demand, pulling on her hand slightly, I hadn't been in one in ages. Thankfully the line is short and we are soon let in, it's not awful they have copied a few scenes from horror movies, when we get to the part where they copied The Scissoring I make sure to point out all the inaccuracies to Vega, which seems to upset one of the workers as they come running over to us scissors in hand attempting to look threatening. Vega steps protectively in front of me, I roll my eyes before going back to glaring at the worker in front of us who seems confused about why we are not running away screaming. I pull out a pair of scissors from my boot casually twirling them around in my hand. The worker's eyes widen.
"You don't want to know what she can do with those" Vega tells them seriously, causing them to turn and run out. Vega and I burst out laughing heading towards the exit. "The poor guy was terrified," Vega says.
"He shouldn't have tried to scare us" I defend. "Now what next?" I ask her eyes widen in surprise, she must have thought I only wanted to go in the haunted house.
"It's up to you," she says I drag her to the line of The Whip one of my favorites since the cart just moves us around a track without going off the ground. After we head to the bumper cars, followed by the carousel, we slowly move around all the rides that didn't involve heights. Vega seemed to understand and didn't even suggest a ride that took us more than a couple of feet of the ground. We stopped at a few booths Vega winning me a bear in the ring toss. By the time it was dark we had been on most of the rides at least twice as we were heading towards the exit I stopped in front of the line for the Ferris Wheel.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to kiss you on top of the Ferris Wheel," I tell her, "we have done all the other couple stuff, shared a candy floss, you won me a bear, we terrified the haunted house workers"
"I don't think scaring people is really a couple thing"
"Vega" I groan.
"Okay, but only if you are one hundred percent sure you want to do this, there is nothing wrong with kissing here on the ground" I pull her towards the line before I can back out. By the time we are on it I wish I had backed out this thing is way higher than it looks from the ground. After looking over the side. I quickly snap my eyes closed, squeezing Vega's hand probably to the point of it being painful but I can't seem to get my hand to let go.
"It's okay I'm here. You're safe, it's going to be okay" Vega whisper wrapping an arm around me and pulling me closer. I let out a whimper as the seat rocks, I take a deep breath trying to calm down. I slowly open my eyes facing Vega. I look into her eyes, not risking looking anywhere else. "You are doing great," she says, and I let out a shaky breath leaning my forehead against hers.
"Not my best idea" I mutter, she gives a small chuckle before leaning in for a kiss. When she pulls away I realize we are back at the bottom and it's time to get off. I almost collapse once we are back on solid ground glad that Vega is still holding on to me and is able to keep me upright.
"You're okay, you did if we officially checked off all couplely things to do at a fair" Vega tells me with a grin.
"Yes, we did," I tell her as we make our way back to her bike.
"Are you coming in?" I ask as we pull up to my house. "It's a Friday" she nods turning off the bike and following me inside.
"Did I leave any clothes here…." I cut her off with a kiss, as we walk into my room, she responds instantly pushing me up against my bedroom door, eventually, her hand starts pulling at my shirt. I pull back, and she jumps back apologizing. I reach over locking the door, before closing the distance between us I push her backward until the back of her knees hit my bed pushing her down and following her on top.
"Are you sure?" She asks pulling back enough to look into my face.
"Yeah, are you?" She doesn't answer just leans up to kiss me again before pulling my shirt over my head.
