Normal is the number one thing right now. I'm just trying to act normal in front of my parents, my sister, and my crush. I mean it shouldn't be this hard. I see them all everyday, well except Jade who I only see on school days but still, it honestly shouldn't be this hard.
I twirl the spaghetti on to my fork and look around the table. Jade on my right and then Trina at the head of the table and then my mom across from Jade and finally my dad across from me. And the other end of the table was empty. Surprisingly enough, Jade and Trina have actually been civil to each other, well actually there a little bit more than civil. There currently talking about the new freshmen and how much of a loser they are. I roll my eyes a little, the one thing they can agree on is making fun of other people, well at least that's something.
"So Jade, Holly here told me that you have been locking lips with my daughter." My eyes widen slightly and I can see Jade tense up from the corner of my eye.
"I knew it!" We all snap our neck towards Trina as she looks at me knowingly.
"What!? What are you talking about?!" I then move my gaze to my dad, "And what are you talking about!?" I start freaking out, oh my god they know, they know I have a crush on Jade, they know I'm gay, or bi, or whatever the fuck I am but they know.
I feel hand on my thigh and I immediately jump and slam my knee against the table. "Ow! fuck!" I see Jade quickly retract her hand and turn her head, and I can hear her quietly snickering. I glare at her turned head and then hear my mom's voice.
"Tori! What is wrong with you today? First you don't want to do your chores, then you interrupt me when I was talking and now you're cursing at the dinner table. Have you completely forgotten your manners?" I look down and feel my face heat up in embarrassment. I then hear stifling laughter coming from both Trina and Jade. I glare over at them and huff, great now they have two things in common, one being laughing at my embarrassment. "Honestly Tori, I think Jade maybe should teach you some manners because you've been acting out." I look at her with disbelief but see a small smile playing on her lips but she quickly takes a bite of her spaghetti to hide it.
"Oh and Jade should probably help Tori with her P.E. too.". I watch Trina grin as she glances over at our dad, "Tori has like a C- in that class or something.". Trina tries to nonchantely as she plays with her food.
"What? A C-? Really?" My dad asks as he finishes off his food." I bite my lip and nod slowly.
"Yeah, but it's totally not my fault." I counter back quickly. I mean how is it my fault that I that I can't do push ups, or sit ups or... I smile sheepishly at my dad. "Ok so maybe it is kinda my fault, but I just can't do push ups and sit ups! My running and everything else is fine."
He shakes his head, "See, I knew I should have signed you up for karate like I did for your sister. You possibly have no upper body strength." he says as he looks at my arms.
"Yeah, Tori totally has noodle arms." Trina comments and I glare back at her.
"I do not have noodle arms! I just- there just not the strongest part of my body.". I grumble out as I slump a little in my seat. It's not like it's my fault I have no upper body strength. I just like to jog and play the wii once in a while; I don't like to lift weights or all that other stuff.
"I'll help Tori." My eyes go over to Jade, just like the rest of my family we look over at her, waiting for her to continue. She shrugs nonchantely, "Yeah, I mean I'm getting an A in gym and I could help her work out and stuff.". She looks over at my dad with a smile and then moved it over to my mom. "And I could teach her some manners while I'm at it.".
I look over at my parents and roll my eyes a little as I see them looking a bit swooned by Jade's words and behavior. I look over at Trina and sigh in relief as I see her looking shocked at Jade. At least I'm not the only one that finds this totally weird and unJade-like.
"Well that sounds lovely, doesn't it Tori?"
I give my mom a fake smile and quickly respond. "Yeah, perfect. But me and Jade gotta go work on our project now sooo yeah.". I grab Jade's hand and drag her out of her seat and upstairs. I pull her into my room and then shut the door after me.
"What the hell was that!?"
She raises her eyebrows at my outburst and then plops herself down on the edge of my bed. "What was what Vega?"
I roll my eyes a little. "You know exactly what. What was that with you practically swooning my parents with your good manners?"
I sit on my computer chair and spin myself so I can look at her. I watch as she shrugs a little and then lays back on my bed, her arms folding behind her head. I bite my lip as my eyes roam over her body but then I quickly advert my gaze. Man I swear I have to control myself. I seriously can't just be checking Jade out like that.
"Well I was just being my usual, charming self." I can hear the cockiness in her voice and I can't help but roll my eyes again.
"Oh yeah, of course, because you have the most amazing manners ever and you just love adults." I reply sarcastically as I start up my computer and plug in the video camera.
"Vega please, I was just being nice and stuff because I'm in their house and I don't really want your parents to hate me or anything. And besides, I usually get what I want right? Most of the time by fear, but other times it's from my charm.". I raise an eyebrow and glance over at her, wanting her to explain this 'charm'. She looks over at me and let's out a long sigh, probably understanding that I want her to continue. "Ok, so most of the people at our school fear me, right. So usually I get what I want and they do what I say." Her eyes lock on to mine, and I can see a smirk forming. "Like you for example, I can get you to do whatever I want."
I blush slightly at the comment and then narrow my eyes at her. "Nuh uh!" is my immediate response. She so can't make me do whatever she wants. I am not her slave and I decide to tell her exactly that. "I am not your slave, Jade. And besides I'm not afraid of you so it doesn't work on me.". A small smirk plays along my lips as I turn back to face my computer. "Besides, I doubt you could 'charm' me. I am not an adult, so good manners wouldn't really work on me." I say, shrugging slightly.
I hear her scoff and then my bed springs squeak lightly as she gets up from my bed. "Really? You don't think I could work my charm on you? Vega do I need to remind you that I have gotten you to massage me for a whole week."
I shake my head as I start editing the video. "Nope, sorry that doesn't count. We made a deal so you know, I get hugs from you after this week is over.". I bite my lip, and feel my cheeks heat up in slight embarrassment. Did I really make a deal to massage someone just for them to hug me? God I'm almost as pathetic as Robbie when it comes to that. I mean I get plenty of hugs, don't get me wrong but Jade's hugs are just... Ugh it's just amazing. I like feeling her strong yet firm body pressed against mine. And I like the warmth she gives off, which is weird since people refer to as the ice queen but physically Jade is everything but that. She's like warmest person I know, and I think that's the reason why she doesn't sweat so easily. She already so warm so some extra heat is probably nothing to her because she's used to it and-
Speaking of warmth, I currently feel ten warm fingers pressed against my back. I glance down and see her gripping the back of my chair. I then look up at her and see looking down at me with an evil smirk.
"So you seriously don't think I could work my magic on you and make you 'swooned' like I did to your parents?" I watch her lean down a little as she locks her eyes with mine. Do I really think she couldn't swoon me? Well... Maybe. I bite inside of my cheek as I look up at her green eyes. Those gorgeous, mint green eyes; so beautiful and captivating and woah-.
I break my gaze and look to the side. If she can already do this to me just by looking at me then she could do a lot more if she sweet talked me. I take time and think it over, "No. There's no way.". I lick my lips nervously and then smile. "And if you think you can, then prove it."
Her eyes trail over my face and then roams over the rest of my body. Her arms still gripping the back of my chair as she leans down closer.
Is she checking me out? I watch her eyes move and I blush; Yup she is totally checking me out right now. And she's not even being discreet about it; she's just- oh she's leaning closer! Oh my god does she want to kiss again? Should I lean towards her too and close the distance? Or she is just messing with me? But god! I just want the feel those lips against mine so much. And why am I thinking so much in a time like this? I need to just shut up and kiss her already! But then I feel her warm breath ghost over my lips and my mind immediately fogs up as she locks her gaze on mine once again. Her knuckles pressing into the side of my back as she leans impossibly closer without touching me though.
"I don't have to prove anything to you Vega." it's low and smooth. Her voice actually sounds like pure sex and I can't really function properly. God she's so seductive and I just as I'm about to press my lips against hers she pulls back. That damn smirk gracing her face once again. I feel her hands let go if my chair and then watch her walk over to her bag.
I snap out of my trance when I hear my bedroom door open. "Wait! Why are you leaving?" I can't help the disappointment in my tone, "And what about the project?" I point out, hoping it'll make her stay.
She waves her hand carelessly, "I already said you're doing all the editing by yourself Vega, and besides its almost 9. And we do have school tomorrow." She flashes me a small smile as she grabs the door handle again. "Make our video look good, alright?" Mischief flashes in those green orbs as the smile turns into a smirk. "Or else." she taps her her hip and my eyes snap over to it.
Her scissors. She's indicating to her scissors because that's exactly where I found them last time. I look move my gaze back to her and open my mouth, about to say something but she cuts me off but as soon as she sees my eyes on hers again she gives me a wink and cuts me off. "Later Vega."
With that she walks out the door and leaves me sitting there, with my own thoughts. She winked at me. And this time it was a real life wink, not like the one in the text message I got yesterday. I feel my cheeks warm up as a stupid grin makes it way across my face.
I let out a happy sigh and spin back in my chair to face the computer only for my smile to quickly vanish and my mouth to fall open. I don't even remember pressing play or anything but apparently my computer had different ideas because it just automatically started playing our video. And currently it's at the part, where Jade and I got I but too into it.
I keep my eyes trained on Jade as I watch her pull me on top of her. I bite my lip and shift a little in my seat as I scoot closer to the screen.
"Tooooorii!"
I quickly snap back from the screen and grab the mouse as I close the window, this all taking me about a second to do. I then snap my eyes to the door, waiting for Trina to barge in but she never does. Instead she yells my name again, a lot louder this time, which I don't even know how that is possible when she was so loud the first time.
"Tori! Come play the Wii with meee!" I hear Trina demand. I roll my eyes, is she serious right now.
"Trina I can't! I'm working on a project!"
I hear stomping coming up the stairs and I look over at my door again. And there in all her glory is my older sister with her arms crossed an annoyed look on her face. "But I already set it up and you know I demanded a rematch from last time so come on already!"
She did demand a rematch, but I don't know if I want to verse her again, because it was seriously a miracle that I won last time and I loved having the right to rub it in her face.
"Just one game and that's it. Then you could go back to your project after I kick your ass."
I raise my eyebrows and look back at the computer screen. It would be nice to get a small break and distract myself from Jade... I mean, with editing that video, and with all the kissing and not so innocent touching we did and yeah I need a break. "Ok fine." I stand up and grab my phone before I walk with Trina to the living room. I unlock my phone and a picture of Jade half naked is greeted to me. Yeah I put the picture as my background. As I'm about to respond to a text and white controller is thrown at me and I let out a sigh, hopefully this will distract me from all the sexual frustration Jade caused me because I honestly can't take it anymore.
