Today is to be the shortest day of the year. The Winter Solstice. There was a full moon tonight, too, and a meteor shower. The next time something like this is going to happen is in 2094. What a great time to be alive.
Tori smiled to herself as she thought about this. She was pulled pulled from her thoughts as Jade noisily stomped into the cramped closet.
"What do you want?" Jade asked, her face a mask of disinterest and annoyance. She gripped the phone in her hands, the screen still bright from the text Tori had sent her just a minute ago.
"You wanna hang out after school today?" Tori looked at her hopefully, eyes bright and sparkling.
Jade's scowl deepened. "What about the others? Are they coming too?"
"No," Tori's face fell slightly. "I mean unless you want them to. Otherwise it'll just be us!" Jade pocketed her now dark phone in the back of her jeans. Tori reached for her pale slender hands and intertwined their fingers. She gave the thespian a cheeky smile. "You can stop making that face. It's just us here." She lifted Jade's hand to her lip and brushed them across her knuckles.
Jade's face flushed pink. "But what if someone sees us? I have a reputation to uphold." Jade replied haughtily, making no move to pull her hand away. "But yeah sure. I'm free to hangout. Where are we going, anyways?"
Tori smirked placing a slender digit against her lips. "It's a secret. Just swing by my place after school, and dress warmish." With that the brunnet whipped out of the custodial closet, just as the last bell of the day rang.
Around thirty minutes later Jade found herself parked outside of the Vegas' household. She wore a black leather jacket on top of a midnight blue blouse and dark ripped jeans. Tori bounced out of her house, clad in a similar brown leather jacket and a white flowy tanktop, with a wicker basket craddled protectively in her arms. She pulled open trunk with some difficulty and placed the basket in. After she finished, Tori slid into the passenger seat beside Jade.
"Drive, woman!" Tori commanded, smiling. Jade didn't move.
"Where?" The goth raised a perfect brow at her girlfriend, and tapped a black nail impatiently against the leather steering wheel..
"Righttttt," Tori gave her directions and they were off. They ended up on a highway encompassed by woods, around forty minutes from the city. "Stop here."
Jade shot her a puzzled glance but eased her car off the road. "We're in the middle of nowhere...," She trailed off, her eyes widening in a mix of horror and what Tori believed to be admiration. "Are you going to kill me?"
A thick silence was broken by the snickering of the brunette. "You're dumb," Tori pretended to think for a second. Her eyes fixated on the bug stain on the window."...maybe I will."
Jade swivled in her seat and undid her seatbelt, almost lunging for the shovel she kept in the back seat. Tori bursted out laughing. "Quit it. You know I don't have it in me to murder you."
Jade chuckled with her. "You're dad's a cop. I'm sure you would've gotten away with it."
"True." The two girls sat in the car for a moment longer, enjoying the warmth it provided. Snapping out of the moment, Tori undid her seatbelt and motion for Jade to step out of the car. The latina busied herself with opening the rusty trunk while Jade gazed around.
"So what exactly are we doing here?" Jade questioned, brows furrowed. Tori walked back to the front of the car, holding her basket. She set it besides the wheel and pulled out a blanket decorated with little stars. She threw said blanket over the front of the car so the glass was covered and hopped on to the hood.
"Stargazing." Tori beamed at the look of sheer confusion on Jade's face.
"Why couldn't we have just done that somewhere that's not in the middle of no where?" Jade asked incrediously hopping up to sit next to the crazed brunette.
"I thought it'd be romantic...," She started quietly, twisting a corner of the blanket around her slender finger. "Do you not like it? We can go back-"
Jade waved a hand feeling guilty that she made Tori doubt her idea. "No no. It is super romantic. But I have to ask. Why today? We have school tomorrow and I didn't expect a goodie-two shoe like you to take us so far away."
Tori stuck out her tongue but grinned nonetheless. "Today's the winter solstice!" Tori wrapped her arms around herself as a particularly chilly breeze swept through.
Jade moved closer to the shivering girl and pulled her into her lap. "Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Isn't it supposed to be the shortest day of the year?"
Tori bobbed her head excitedly. "Yeah. And there's also a meteor shower tonight. That's why we're here." Tori rambled just as the first streaks of light shot by overhead.
The singer oohed and ahhed while the thespian watched her girlfriend. Cheeks rosy from the cold and a childlike wonder in her eyes. She was, Jade thought, absolutely stunning. More and more meteors flashed acrossed the darkened sky and the two pressed closer together. Their breath visible in the air. Tori turned to Jade grinning so wide she thought her face would split in half. "Isn't it beautiful?"
"Yeah." But Jade's attention was solely focused on Tori. She pressed her cold hand to Tori's cheek, guiding her lips to her own. And for a moment. The world was on fire. Jade allowed her other hand to get tangled in the other girls hair and sighed contently against her soft lips. The moon rose slowly in the sky and its soft blue light washed over the couple. And it was then that they both decided that they wanted to be together until the next event like this and forever after.
Sorry it sucks. But I hoped you enjoyed it. Not as weird as the last chapter but i feel like it was kinda too similar. So the next oneshot will be very different. Hopefully. Also I wouldn't mind some request and/or suggestions. Comments are good for my soul. And again Thank you for reading!!!
