Chapter 10 – Aftermath.
I think it is looking like Sunday is update day. Enjoy!
Jade's POV
Even I wasn't expecting his reaction to be that bad. I knew he would have trouble accepting it but, I couldn't have prepared myself for what he said. "you're disgusting"; his words kept going through my mind over and over again. And Tori, she was amazing. I'd completely frozen and she stood up for me, she yelled at my dad; and he's a scary man.
Shit. Now I remember what I'd said "I love Tori". I'd said it twice "Not like I love Tori". That is not how I wanted to tell her, through yelling at my dad. I wanted it to be perfect, a quiet, intimate moment between just us. But no, my father had gone and ruined that perfect moment for me too.
I look over at Tori who's still asleep, curled up at my side; so quiet and peaceful. I don't want to wake her so I just sit for a moment, quietly. Feeling Tori breathing slowly against me.
I hear a slight creak on the stairs and turn round slowly to see Trina stood there. I raise my finger to my mouth ''shh'' I tell her. I don't know what's gotten into her recently but she does as I say and creeps back upstairs. A few peaceful moments later Tori begins to stir, she opens her eyes and smiles up at me.
"Morning, beautiful" I smile at her.
"Good morning" she smiles back, cupping my cheek and pulling me down into a light kiss.
"Tori, I said something last night. Something I hoped to tell you first, not my dad! I was waiting for the perfect moment, just between us and I just shouted it at my dad" Tori smiled knowingly at my words.
"It's a nice, peaceful moment between us now. If you want your chance" she said as she lightly bit her lip.
"I love you" I simply say. It was as simple as that, I love her.
"I love you too" she said, looking back into my eyes.
I pull her into a kiss, it's slow, full of passion and feeling, it's like we have to prove to each other exactly how much we meant what we just confessed. Vega was certainly getting the point across because she decides to sit up and climb on top of me. Pinning me down against the sofa, my hands roaming her back, under her shirt.
"a-hem" I hear from behind me. Tori obviously hadn't noticed her mother coming down the stairs because she now stood behind me, hands on her hips and giving us 'the look'. "What did I say were the house rules?" she questioned.
"Sorry, mom we just…" Vega said jumping off me, fixing her shirt which was already half off.
"I can see. Don't let me catch you again" she said
"So you mean we can still do it, if you don't catch us?" I say, knowing it'll embarrass Tori.
"JADE!" Tori squeaked.
I just laugh at her, it's so easy to embarrass her like this. "Sorry we won't let it happen again" I say turning back to Mrs Vega.
"Morning, Tori" I hear, as I turn round to see Mr Vega now joining us. "And Jade, I heard what happened last night, I'm very sorry. Like Holly says, you're very welcome to stay here for as long as you need"
"Thank you" I say with a smile. They're so different from my family.
Tori's POV
"Jade, your phone is ringing" I shout to the bathroom door
"Well answer it then! I'm in the shower" I hear her shout back.
I look at her phone to see whose calling. Caroline. Who was that? "Jade, who's Caroline?"
"What? Why is she calling me?" I hear the water go off, followed by Jade walking out the bathroom wrapped in only a towel and her hair covered in shampoo.
"Who is she?"
"My mom" she responds before answering the phone. "What do you want?" she says into the phone. I have to deal with only hearing half the conversation.
"Yes, and what about it? … why would you- … fine… yes.. goodbye" I hear her say getting slightly more annoyed at each remark made.
"What did she want?" I ask
"She wants to meet up tomorrow, discuss what happened last night…" she says throwing her phone down onto my bed. "She hasn't took an interest in my life for years, so I don't know why she's bothering now" she states.
"I can go with you, if you want"
"Thanks, I'd love you to" she says smiling and giving me a kiss. "Now, if you don't mind, I have to get back to my shower" she says giving me a wink.
"I can go with you there too, if you want" I smirk
She laughs lightly at me. "Of course" she said taking my hand and walking back into the bathroom with me following behind.
Short chapter I know, sorry. It was sort of a filler to get stuff set up for the next one. Reviews all welcome!
