N/A: super short, super sorry I have been so exhausted lately but I got this done . So Tori and Jade continue their discussion in bed.


13. Doing it well


I turned to my side. I looked at the beautiful woman laying beside me all naked and vulnerable and I couldn't find it in me to regret any of what I was doing tonight. "I'm so glad you said yes."

I leaned forward and kissed her collarbone. "I never got over us. Never."

My heart began to beat erratically. It has been ten years. I hadn't ever gotten over us either. I pulled away and looked into her eyes. "But, You seem to have moved on."

"I have not seen you in Ten years, You don't know what I do?" Tori said pushing up on her elbow. "Don't tell me you believe the trash you read in the tabloids. As if that were ever an accurate account of anything."

I sighed and lay back in bed. "I don't know, They have my life pretty figured out."

She looked at me. "Has he been cheating on you for the past ten years?"

"Yep pretty much. He's only with me for Lilah." I answered with a shrug.

"And you stayed?" She asked.

"What was I supposed to do?" I answered. "You were no longer talking to me. You weren't even pretending to see me at events we were mutually invited to. You ignored me and stayed away from me. You were all I wanted." I said. "Besides, I needed to establish that I could act straight like Tessa Thompson before I came out or I would never have work."

She nodded.

"Im a star now." I said and ran my handling her naked hip "I have proven my worth and ability." I kissed her neck. "And I couldn't give a fuck about Beck Vitale and his affairs."

She turned her head toward me. Her eyes searched mine, then dropped to stare at my lips. "You never got over me?" She asked softly.

I shook my head slowly and deliberately. She took her hand and pulled my head toward her. She kissed me hungrily and I responded, kicking my shoes and underwear all the way off. We finished undressing needing to feel our skin touch again.

This time we took our time. Our touches lingered a bit more lovingly than before. "I love you, Tori. I mean it." I said against her lips "I meant it Then, and I mean it now."
