Cat's POV:

Jade leaves me all alone in the bathroom, extremely confused. I swear she's been acting so weird... Everyone thinks I live in my head, but I notice things, and it's almost like... never mind. I finish touching up and head to class.

I'm falling and falling and falling down a deep hole. There's no bottom and I'm scared, because I'll die of hunger, or starvation. But then suddenly there are two hands wrapped around my wrists, pulling me up and out of the abyss. They pull me up and wrap me in a strong, but gentle embrace, with my back against their stomach. I can feel their steady heartbeat on my shoulder blade. I turn around to face my savior and see black curls and pale skin.

"Jayd," I breathe out.

She places a slender finger on my mouth and quickly removes it. "Shhhh, not now, Kitten." she leans towards me and closes her eyes...

I wake with a start at the sound of my alarm; it's the third night in a row I've had that dream, and each morning I'm more confused. What's Jade going to do? Why am I falling and why does she rescue me? There's too many questions, yet not one measly answer. I throw off my comforter and jump out of bed while trying to avoid thinking of those gentle hands, knowing very well Jade would first punch me than hug me. Would I even WANT her to hug me in that fashion? I need candy.

Jade's POV:

I get out of bed already thinking of Cat. I avoided her all yesterday after letting my secret pet name slip, scared she would pick up on it. Everyone thinks Cat is a ditz, but I know better. She's smarter than she lets on; it's one of the things I admire most about her: her ability to manipulate. But would she manipulate me? Use me and throw me away? No, my kitten isn't like that. She's a sweetheart. I wish I could just sort out what I feel for her... Climbing in the shower, I can't help but let my mind wander to forbidden lands. I close my eyes and let the fantasy take me. Her chocolatey eyes meet mine and I smile seductively. She knows what I want, and she knows I want it badly. She's the drug that'll satiate my crave. I wrap my arm around her tiny waste and pull her close to me, taking in every detail of her face. "kiss me," I tell her. She smiles and slowly, so slowly it hurts, presses her lips against mine. We move as one and I slide my tongue across her bottom lip, asking for entrance. She complies and opens her mouth, granting me access. Her tongue is a candy on mine, and I let my hands explore her petite body.

"Jade, hurry up, it's getting late!" My mother screams from downstairs. Since when has she been home? Fuck. I finish rinsing out my hair and get dressed for the day. I can't take it. Cat's going to be mine one day. Soon, hopefully.
