I let go of Tori's hand the moment we were out in the hallway. I was still so angry at her. but now she couldn't run away from me. She was mine. "Jade…"
I looked around the hall and found a door off to the side. I walked over there and opened it. I chuckled it was a janitor's closet. I pulled her in there with me. There was a step ladder in there. I opened it up and had her sit on there. Then I stood there waiting for the right words to express how I was feeling.
Nothing came. I couldn't even say I was sorry because I really wasn't. Because to say that would mean telling her I was sorry for loving her. That was never going to happen. "Jade, I'm sorry." She said to me.
"For what?" I asked my voice trembling full of tears of anger at this stupid situation and joy at the realization that she had chosen me.
"You're angry." She stated.
"I am." I admitted. "Especially since you don't seem to know why… you're sorry."
She stood from her perch and came toward me. "I didn't know you were gay."
"Neither did I. But frankly it ought to have been obvious."
"To me?" Tori asked surprised. "How was I supposed to know? You had a boyfriend."
She was right, how was she supposed to know I hated sex with Beck… uh I know… I told her. "A boyfriend you knew I didn't enjoy being with."
"I just thought he was a lousy lay." Tori said.
"No one is with someone for so long and not learn how to please them. He was adequate." I defended my friend."
"Why are we talking about YOUR sex life?" Tori asked. "I don't want to hear about my wife with some man."
I looked her in the eye. dropped my eyes down to her abdomen then back to her eyes. "Really?"
She cringed. "This is different."
"How Tori?" I asked. "Except for the fact that your beard left a more durable mark than mine."
"When did you figure out you were gay?" She asked.
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"It has everything to do with everything." Tori stated. "Maybe I wouldn't have said yes to him if you had treated me like your best friend."
I laughed. "How the hell was I supposed to tell my hyper sexual best friend that I had figured out that I was a lesbian and that I was desperately in love with her?"
"Exactly." Was all Tori said. We faced off for a moment. She was right. She couldn't tell me she loved me.
"You could have told me you were gay." I whispered.
"I'm clearly not gay Jade. I am bisexual always have been. I told you once."
I scoffed. "You did not."
"Okay so you were drunk off your ass and I kissed you and I told you."
I quirked a brow. "You took advantage of me?"
She turned a little red. "I… I was a little drunk too. All I did was kiss you I swear."
My lip twitched a little. I wanted to laugh at this but she needed to squirm a little. if she only knew I was diffused. She always knew how to calm me down after we became friends. the only reason I was always wound up when she was around because I liked her too much. "Coward."
"Takes one to know one." she replied
I chuckled softly. "This is the weirdest day…" I mumbled.
She laughed and kind of stood there I don't think she knew if she could touch me or not. I placed my forehead on hers. she sighed in relief and wrapped her arms around me. "You forgive me right?"
"We wasted so much time." I whispered wrapping my arms around her waist.
"You're mine now." Tori said. "The time we lost… we can't get that back, but we can move forward from here."
"What would you have done if you knew I was gay before any of this." I asked letting her go and walking away. I still wasn't used to all of this. I still didn't feel comfortable with her body on mine. It was weird I loved her, but I didn't know how to be intimate with her.
"I guess… I might have tried to get you to ask me out?" She said.
I turned to face her and raised a brow. "You are going to earn these vows."
"What?" She asked confused.
"Woo me." I said simply. "Learn me."
"Jade…" Tori said still confused. "You married me."
"Prove to me that I didn't make a mistake." I answered leaning against the wash basin in the small closet. "I love you. I married you because I never wanted you to leave me. But-"
"But what Jade? How do I prove to you-" she interrupted coming closer to me with pleading eyes.
"Woo me."
Tori bit her lip. "I have an extra ticket to Rome Jade, I was planning on kind of touring europe for about three weeks would you like to come with me?"
My heart beat erratically. how the hell was she going to do that with a baby inside her. "I have my final projects to do."
"Well… The trip isn't till the semester is over. I wanted to be here for your Graduation."
"Where do you live Tori?" I asked.
"The guys helped me move back to our old apartment. I've been sleeping on the sofa bed. I saw when you came in last night." Tori replied.
I nodded and sighed. "you're taking the bed tonight."
"What?" Tori asked confused again. God she is adorable when she is confused but she looks like that way too often.
"You're pregnant. I'm not gonna have my pregnant wife sleep on the couch." I answered.
"But.. are you planning on sleeping on the couch?" she asked incredulously.
"We aren't even dating Tori. I'm not going to sleep in your bed." I retort.
"You've had no problem sleeping with other girls in their beds!" She stated angrily. There it was, the bitterness I knew was there. The one that was baseless because I didn't know she wanted me in the first place.
"I also wasn't planning on ever staying with them forever." I answered. She relaxed and sighed.
"Okay," she said.
"Okay," I echoed.
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Would you like to go to a wedding reception with me?" she asked.
"Sure." I answered.
She reached a hand out to me and I took it. she led me out of the janitor's closet, and hand in hand we walked to the reception area. Our guests cheered as we entered the room and Tori pulled me on to the dance floor and they played our favorite song. I looked at her approvingly and she knew she had done something right. She blushed smiled and kissed my lips. Just a chaste kiss, then held me to her and we danced together to Take a Hint. I know It's not a slow song. But I knew she needed to hold me close. so I let her.
