Third Person POV

"Beck" Jade moaned as Beck started leaving a trail of kisses along her jaw line then made his way down to her neck where he sucked his way to the spot on Jade's neck, he had discovered the spot during one of their first make out sessions, that drove her crazy. Once at the spot a smirking Beck bit down and started nibbling and sucking so much that it was clear there would be a hickey on Jade's neck with in a few hours. As expected a moaning Jade immediately arched her back and her hands flew up from being wrapped around Beck's neck to being tangled in his hair. Suddenly Beck bit down hard causing Jade to jump a little and let out a surprised shriek before letting out a giggle.

Chuckling against her neck Beck stopped for a moment "Jumpy?"

"Shut up." Then putting her finger under Beck's chin Jade redirected his attention back to her lips. Not that he was going to complain.

"There you guys are! Every one is waiting in the kitchen for you," The couple cut their kiss short and shared an annoyed look before turning to face their intruder. The ever bubbly Cat. "Well everyone but Tori, she's still in the shower. C'mon!"

The giggling twirled around and started to skip back to the kitchen not noticing how Jade growled at being interrupted during her make session and though Beck was holding her hand to calm her down she continued to glare. Feeling a slight tug on her hand she raised an eyebrow at her boyfriend. Giving Jade a half smile and a wink Beck said in a soft voice "C'mon Babe". After receiving a sweet kiss on the temple Jade grabbed the ventriloquist's dummy with her free hand and let herself be dragged in to her kitchen.

Tapping his foot against the black and white marble floor Robbie let out an impatient groan. He really wanted Rex back.

"Chill Fro Bro, Cat will be back with Beck, Jade and Rex in no time." Andre assured Robbie from his spot leaning against the counter.

On cue Cat came bouncing out of the hidden door way "Look who I found!" Cat sang as she held out her arms in a very show girl like way toward Beck, Jade and Rex, who Jade was now holding on her hip as if she were holding a toddler.

At seeing his precious doll/ best friend Robbie jumped out of his chair and all but ran to embrace his best friend. The first thing Rex said once he was perched on his master's arm was "No Four Eyes put me back on the dark diva's hip! She blew me out like no one has ever blown me out before."

Ignoring Rex's comment Robbie addressed Jade "Thanks again for helping me out with Rex, you know with drying and changing him." The last part Robbie said awkwardly.

While Jade nodded and gave a dismissive wave of her hand, Cat gave a half hearted giggle "Man your making me sound like a baby in front of the honey's. Or at least she's a honey," Rex pointed toward Jade who was talking to Beck as she leaned on the island with her arms resting crossed in front of her as Beck played with her hair "I'm not so sure what you are" Rex gestured toward Cat.

Ignoring Rex's honey comment Cat jumped up and down "Aw, I love babies! I have baby faces posted all over my slap home page!"

"I take back what I said about you not be a honey. If you keep jumping dressed like that I'll never take my eyes off of you!" Rex whistled as his head followed Cat's up and down movements. Robbie's own eyes followed Cat up and down focusing on the parts that were jiggling as she moved.

Cat stopped jumping and gave the duo a questioning look "What do you mean by that?" Strangely enough Cat didn't scream or shout, she just spoke softly.

Finding courage in Cat's soft voice Robbie cleared his throat and gave Cat a small smile. "All he means is that you look really great right now. Those clothes fit you perfectly." Cat looked down for about a half a second to look at her clothes. The gold silk top showed off Cat's upper part curves very nicely and was just loose enough to fit a finger between her skin and the fabric. The pants were another story. The silk maroon bottoms were loose on the perky girl and someone could fit a fist in the space between her leg and the dark colored silk. Though they were held up by elastic there was a silk draw string that Cat tied into a bow for decoration.

Blushing, Cat looked back up at Robbie "Thanks! You look good too! I never realized how you and Beck are about the same height." That gave Robbie a blush to match Cat's.

It was true, Robbie fit fairly well into Beck's clothes. Although the parts that were a little snug on Beck (Because he was more fit then Robbie) such as the upper arms and forearms where much looser on Robbie.

Andre sighed silently as his eyes moved back and forth between the two couples in front of him.

'Man I hate being the fifth wheel. Tori better hurry up.'

But Andre knew that the ache in his heart wasn't from being left out at the moment.

'Sure Cat and Robbie aren't dating YET, but look at them, they'll be an item in a week tops!'

Sneaking a peak at Jade and Beck Andre shook his head.

'And Beck and Jade are perfect for each. Why can't Tori see that? Why can't she see that Beck isn't interested in her, that she should should stop chasing him! She should know that I'm here for her forever and always. Why can't she just give me a chance, if she did I'd sho-'

Andre's thoughts were cut short as Tori glided into the room. His eyes almost fell out of his head as he took in the girl's appearance.

The black leggings fit Tori perfectly as they stopped mid-calf and hugged each curve of her leg. Then the t-shirt like nightgown stopped an inch or two below her bottom. The nightgown was loose on the Latina yet still showed off some of her curves. To finish the look the T-shirt like top fell about an inch off Tori's left shoulder showing off Tori's dark purple bra strap that actually matched her outfit perfectly.

As Tori walked farther into the kitchen she took in her surroundings. Robbie and Cat were talking, or is that their way of flirting? Beck looked amazing in his black T-shirt that was loose, yet tight enough to show off his muscles and the red and black checkered pants mixed with his black shirt gave him a sexy bad boy look. To say the least he looked hot, to bad he was brushing hair out of Jade's face with love in his eyes.

Then her milk chocolate eyes landed on the boy in the corner and she took a sharp intake as her eyes roamed her best friend. Andre looked amazing in Beck's wife beater as it showed off each of his muscles, and though the sweat pants were a little big and long on Andre, he made it work

'If Beck's hot then Andre's on fire! Wait, did I just think that?'

Confused at her thought Tori gently shook them out of her head. Taking a deep breath Tori bit her lip as she walked over to Andre.

"Hey, ya feel better now?" Andre asked while giving Tori a nod in acknowledgement.

"Hugh? Oh yeah I really needed that hot shower. Though for a second I thought I was going to get lost on my way down! How 'bout you?"

"I feel great, I mean I thought I was going to freeze my arms off if I didn't warm up! Luckily I didn't get lost because the bathroom I was in is in the hallway that right over there" Pointing with his finger Andre showed Tori the hallway he was talking about.

Just as Beck finished telling Jade about how Sikowitz cornered him with drive-by acting drills last week when suddenly Beck heard a loud grumbling noise.

"Is that you stomach" Beck chuckled.

"Yes it is! Unlike you people who had frozen yogurt, then dumbly got stuck in the storm, I haven't eaten since lunch!" Jade snapped back not at all happy with the lack of food in her stomach.

"Okay, okay." Beck raised his hands in mock surrender "Lets get some food in you, I know how you get cranky when you get hungry."

"Cranky is putting nicely."

Beck just put a hand on his girlfriend's shoulder as he addressed the group "Alright people who's hungry?" The question was met with a mix of answers but one thing was clear: They were all famished.

"Didn't you eat before you came?" Jade asked while giving the group a 'what the hell' look.

"Sure we did, but yogurt, even frozen, doesn't hold a person over for long." Andre informed his dark hostess.

"Plus all that running through the storm really built up an appetite." Tori added.

"Your were the one who said the weather would be nice enough to get the yogurt! So don't you dare start complaining about how your hungry from running in the storm! At least you weren't almost dragged away by the storm like I was!" Rex shouted at Tori from across the kitchen before Robbie was able to quiet him down.

"Oh but the yogurt was so good! Mine was strawberry and had pieces of real strawberries in it plus I got sprinkles! Wasn't yours so good?" Cat asked everyone clearly trying to keep the peace. And she smiled her brilliant smile at the grumbled "yes"'s and "I guess so"'s she got as her responses.

"Yeah thanks for bringing me one," Jade remarked sarcastically "I mean its common curtsey to bring something with you when you go to someone's house. You never go empty handed. You could have brought me a yogurt or coffee. A bunt cake would have been nice."

"Babe we didn't know we'd be coming here. Had we known I would have brought you a yogurt." Smirking Beck lightly nudged his scowling love "Coffee flavored."

Looking Beck in the eye Jade retorted "You do realize that you now owe me a coffee flavored frozen yogurt with whipped cream on top the way I like it. Right?"

"Its a date" Then very quickly Beck pecked Jade on the lips before the couple turned their attention to their very embarrassed audience.

"Okay what nationality food do you want?" Jade shocked the group by that question. Nationality? Really? That's one question they've never been asked before.

"Well as for our choses: What do we got? What do we got?" Robbie joked quoting himself from his time on Robarazzi and his food channel on the slap causing everyone but Rex and Jade to laugh.

"Yo Fro! Your fifteen minutes of fame are up! Let it go man, let. It. Go! Nothing is more pitiful then someone who clings to the lime light." Rex shook his head in disappointment from his spot on Robbie's arm.

Ignoring everything the puppet had just said Jade started rattling off their dinner options off of the top of her head. "We could make tacos, if your in the mood for chinese I've got a great recipe for sweet and sour pork. I know we can make either German, French or Irish foods or Indian if your in a spicy mood. Oh! I almost forgot, my mom made some pizza dough fresh this morning so we could make some pizza plus we have pasta and red sauce.

45 minutes later

The gang was now sitting at the West's large kitchen table and had just stuffed themselves with the home made pizza, amazing pasta with meat sauce AND meat balls PLUS home made garlic bread. In fact they were very impressed with the work they had just done to create such a wonderful meal and were thrilled that they took Jade's advice and cleaned as they worked since now the only things they had to clean were their plates, knifes and forks and Jade said they could just put them in the dish washer.

"Yo, I cannot BELIEVE that we made all that food in that short amount of time. And it was like five star restaurant quality too!" Andre announced as he leaned back in his seat which was in between Cat and Beck and across from Tori.

"I know right!" Robbie agreed as he nibbled on a piece of garlic bread with one hand and held Rex with the other.

"What I can't believe is how, Jade you told us exactly what to do and how much of each ingredient to use without even even looking at a recipe book! How did you do that?" Cat asked breathless as she looked at Jade with admiration in her eyes.

"Oh that was nothing. I've known how to make a simple meal like this since I was nine." Jade said nonchalantly as she moved her chair, that was between Robbie (and Rex) and Beck, closer to her boyfriend to lean on him.

"Jade's memorized dozens of recipes over the years. She knows how to make almost anything" Beck informed the group about his girlfriend's secret talent.

"Yeah, but how?" Tori pried from her spot between Robbie and Cat.

"I really don't see how this is any of your business but my grandma, my mom's mom, Sophia Petrillo, is an off the boat immigrant from Sicily, Italy. When she came over she raised her family in Brooklyn but a few years back she moved down to Miami Florida after my grandpa died and now she shares a house with my Aunt Dorothy and their friends Blanch and Rose," Jade had gotten a loving smile on her face and if you looked in her eyes you could tell she was going through memories in her mind. "Anyway, every summer for as long as I can remember I would spend a month with them in Miami, and my grandma taught me how to do many things, cooking was one of them. Now, I'm Italian on my mom's side and German, Irish and Polish on my dad's side, so though Germans and Italian tan, Polish and Irish people don't and, well, my pale genes over ride my tans genes, so my grandma would always say to me "Jaybird your the only Italian girl I know who doesn't tan so your cooking has got to be ten times better then all the tan Italian girls if you want to get married."

"Earlier, when you were giving that come back, I heard you speaking in a Brooklyn/Italian accent. Is that from your grandmother too?" Cat asked innocently.

"Oh yeah, I learned how to do witty remarks from that woman, sometimes I'll be speaking and I'll start talking in that accent without even realizing it."

"Wow you two sound close. I wish I could have that kind of a relationship with my grandma, but its hard to have a relationship with a woman who flew WAY cuckoo's nest" Andre said shaking his head in regret.

Jade's soft smile became a little wider and she got this far away look in her eye "Oh yeah, when we're together we're inseparable. It's weird, she's like a second mom to me but at the same time she's one of my best friends," slowly Jade's smile disappeared from her face and her eyes filled up with so much emotion the group couldn't believe it was the same girl they went to school with "To bad I haven't seen her since I was twelve. She and my mother had a huge fight four years ago, I don't think either of them even remember what it was about, I know I sure don't. And, well, my mom stopped all communication between my immediate family and my extended family."

Beck had never met any of Jade's extended family but he had seen pictures of Jade's grandmother and knew just how close they were. Half way through Jade's speech he started o rub soothing circles on Jade's back knowing how hard it was for her to be telling the odd group her family secret.

Cat looked like she was going to cry "Thats so said."

Suddenly Jade was taken out of her rumination "Yeah well what can you do." Standing Jade grabbed her plate and utensils "Help put this stuff away." With that Jade stalked over to the sink, with no emotion o her face once again, as she rinsed off her plate and other items and put them in to the dish washer.

Slowly the others followed Jade's example, all still processing what Jade had just told them. Andre couldn't get over how wrong he had been about Jade. He had always assumed Jade was just a mean spirited girl who didn't care about anyone except for herself, now he found out that Jade had a special relationship with her grandmother and she had it ripped away from her.

Robbie and Rex were at a lose for words for once. 'I think I want to give Mamaw a call. Just to tell her I love her.'

Beck's main concern was whether or not Jade was okay.

Cat had shed a few tears before walking over to Jade and giving her a comforting hug. Jade didn't return it, but she didn't push her away either. Once Cat pulled away she gave the girl she considered to be her friend a kind smile before putting the last dish into the dish washer and closing the machine's door.

Tori surprised herself by feeling bad for her enemy "Why don't you try to get in touch with your grandma again" Tori blurted out as Cat closed the washer machine's door.

"Gee Vega, why didn't I think of that? Oh thats right, I DID!" Jade sarcastically remarked "I've tried calling, wrote letters, sent e-mails to her friends even, hell I've done everything but take a road trip down to Miami!"

"Why are you mean to everyone? Did your grandma teach you that too?" Tori defended herself as she didn't take kindly to being yelled at.

"Its a defense mechanism. That way I either hurt people before they get a chance to hurt me or it keeps me from getting to close to someone, that way I never have to deal with the pain of losing someone all over again. Either way, I DON'T GET HURT!" Jade hissed back.

It was as if there was no filter between Tori's brain and her mouth because next thing she knew she was shouting "YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM, YOUR TO MEAN THATS WHY NO ONE LIKES YOU! YOUR GRANDMA PROBABLY KNEW YOU'D TURN INTO A BITCH AND THATS WHY SHE WON'T CALL YOU BACK, NOT BECAUSE SHE CAN'T, BUT BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO! AND ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE BECK LEAVES YOU JUST LIKE YOUR FAMILY LEFT YOU!"

Every one was shocked by what Tori said.

It wasn't like Tori

It was bitchy.

Suddenly the room seemed to become colder as Jade began to seethe. She resembled a hungry lioness ready to strike her kill. "That's IT!" She screamed as she went to pounce on Tori. Luckily Beck had grabbed Jade mid air and spun her around so he put himself between the two fighting girls.

"How about you guys head to the living room while Jade and I get some candles in case the lights go off. Robbie I think your the one who took your shower in the family room's bathroom so can you show everyone else where it is? Thanks." Without waiting for a response Beck lead a struggling Jade out of the kitchen and into a separate room that was down the hall so they could have some privacy.

Knowing his girlfriend she was going to either kick and scream or cry.

Chances are she'll do both.
