A/N: sorry folks I have been watching you tube videos, and I love Jade, kind of obsessively, that Is why I mention her so much even though the story is about Tori and Andre. That is because I think that Jade really would like to be Tori's friend, but doesn't know how to go from hating her and being totally Jealous of her around Beck to just being her friend like she is to Cat.

She seems emotionally unavailable, but to be good as an artist you have to be in touch with your emotions and I don't think that people understand that about her. The emotion she is in touch with the most is anger, but if you watch her she doesn't hide it when she is happy, she doesn't hide it when she is sad. She is there, she has to be in order to succeed.

The chapter title is really self explanaTORI Lol, but it is just what it is… it was mostly for Andre's benefit really.

I kissed a Girl

Andre

We all sat in Sikowitz class, which was meeting at the black box. We had just auditioned for a play and were waiting for our parts.

As always Jade and my girl went for the lead. Jade looked pissed, and that is not the look I had fallen in love with that one late night at the recording studio. I have to admit, that sometimes we worked late with the band I get those little stirrings in my pants.

I know Tori can tell. She gives me a look that says 'look, don't touch'. Then she lets me touch her all night long. I smiled and licked my lips, which got Tori's attention. She blushed and sank lower in her seat.

Sikowitz finally walked into the class. "All right gang. Here are your parts." He handed Jade a piece of paper which she eagerly reads.

She growls, crumbles the paper in her hand, and screams. "Sikowitz!"

"You bellowed?"

"Why her?" She looks at Tori, "why is it always her?"

Tori picked the paper up, looked at it, and sighed.

Sikowitz came closer Jade and stopped in front of her. He looked like he was looking at something far away. "Because… Tori is more… emotionally available."

"She's what?"

"Tori is able to reach a level of emotion that you do not practice. A good actor has to be able to convey feeling, not just control them."

"I… convey feelings." Jade said, her voice shrill.

"Prove it. Right here, right now." Sikowitz challenged signaling to the stage. "You do a good enough job, you and Ms. Vega can switch roles."

"Great!" Jade said stepping on to the stage.

"Wait what?" Tori asked standing from seat. "That's not fair!"

"What Vega? You afraid you won't win?"

Tori looked down at the list then passed to me and said, "Fine, I'll do it."

"All right Jade," Sikowitz started, "she hates you; you love her. Love her into submission but you can only touch her once. Tori; don't let her touch you. Go."

"Wait," Jade interrupted, "Those are all of the instructions you have for her?" Jade asked in that disgusted tone.

"Why? She already has the part."

This was bound to be interesting. I lean forward in my chair. I saw Beck to the same. Tori stood nonchalantly looking around. She looked at me, smiled and winked. That was how she greeted me in public. Our secret life still was a secret to almost everyone.

Jade stood in the corner of the stage opposite Tori. She had yet to look at her, but she was decidedly looking less peeved. Slowly her eyes fell upon my girl and they softened. Those blue eyes looked at my girl as if they were hungry. They fluttered. Jade was flushed and her breath was shallow.

She walked towards Tori and outstretched her hand to get her attention, then changed her mind. Instead she said "I… love you." Softly, almost timidly.

Tori's head turned, "I'm sorry what?" She had just noticed how close Jade was to her and almost jumped back in disgust. "Eww … no," she walked to the other end of the stage.

Jade followed her, the reaction seeming to embolden her. "But I love you..."

Tori laughed in her face, "Jade stop being creepy." She took a couple of more steps away from her pursuer.

Jade's eyes flashed in anger. Her fist tightened and she came really close to Tori's face and screamed it at her. "I love you, I love you!"

My girl backed away. Her face said that she was being affected a bit. Maybe scared of this stalking lunatic. "I… ah…" she walked around Jade. "Take it easy, that won't work with me."

Jade's face contorts in frustration and hopelessness. "Please…" she pleaded, "I love you." My girl's resolve began to wane. She turned to look at Jade. Jade stepped closer and Tori stood her ground. Their eyes locked. I knew that look. That was my look. Jade's eyes looked at my girl and they felt like a warm blanket. She smiled, not her usual smirk of derision, but a genuine smile of someone who was getting through to someone would give.

Jade took a step closer, and Tori took a step back. "I can't," she said weakly.

Holy chizz this was turning me on. "Damn, I want in on that…" I heard Beck mumble. I held out my hand for a five. He didn't leave me hanging. The emotion was so intense, I felt like a voyeur.

"Yes you can, I love you." Jade nearly whispered. She leaned in the rest of the way and kissed my girl. Beck and I shot up out of our seats and clapped vigorously. They stayed like that for five seconds then separated. They both walked to their seats. My girl was mad, really mad. I scooted my chair closer to hers and held her to me.

"She stole my part." She whispered

"I know baby, It's gonna be okay. Her part is pretty good too." I said trying to soothe her as Sikowitz dismissed everyone and congratulated Jade. Absent-mindedly, I kissed her cheek and let my hand travel from her shoulder to her hip then her thigh. It's a possessive thing that most guys do.

I hear a throat clear. When I look up, Beck was staring at me. Jade was by the door waiting for him looking uninterested. "What?" I asked as if I had done nothing out of the ordinary.

"When did this happen?" Beck asked amused.

"When did what happen?" I said feigning innocence and separating from Tori. She looked at me, and smiled softly.

"He's your best guy friend, I think it's alright." Tori said squeezing my thigh.

I took her hand and placed a kiss on it. "The weekend before we started Vegas Valentine."

"Aw… now it all makes sense," Jade said, sitting across from Tori.

"What do you mean?" Tori said, startled by her. I don't know why, she knows she never leaves Beck behind unless they have separate classes.

"Oh it isn't like you made it obvious, " She stated flatly. "You two are always flirting around each other, even before all of this." Jade leaned back, "It's just that Vega is way less annoying and whiny, and Andre… You don't go out much anymore. I chalked it up to depression at first, but you always seem to be in a good mood."

Tori nodded, "Yeah he was sort of girl crazy."

"You do whine a lot less…" I said. She slapped me hard in the arm. "Ouch."

She smirked a bit and looked down at her lap, she had been avoiding Jade's eyes since they kissed.

"Why did you keep it a secret?" Beck asked refocusing the conversation.

"A lot of reasons." I answered then wiggled my brows at my girl. She blushed again and smiled.

"Ugh," Jade stood up again. "Spare me, let's go Beck."

Beck smiled and waved. "Later guys."

I looked at my bride. She was looking at me that way she looks at me when I know we aren't going to sleep much that night, if you know what I mean. "You two were hot on that stage."

"Hot?" She smirked, "Your fantasy come to life… Me, Jade… and you, a nice inverted Oreo." She came to me and straddled my hips.

Yes… yes it was my fantasy. Jade still jumps into my head every once in a while, but I was not about to loose my head and standing with the woman I truly loved. "Girl, you are enough for me. More than enough."

She smiled and began to grind her hips against mine. "Good answer," she purred. Then she kissed me. She tasted like Jade, Kind of like peppermint and licorice. I had kissed Jade once for a play. Now I tasted my girl and I tasted Jade, it was intoxicating.

My lady moved her hips on me as if she were dancing the salsa. I was getting so excited I didn't know If I could keep from just taking her here in the black box, but we really didn't have the time. Next classes will begin soon, and I didn't want to get in trouble with my next teacher. "Damn… Oh… Baby." I started to say between kisses and moans. "We're going to be late for class."

She gave me one deep hard kiss before disengaging and hopping off of my lap completely. "Okay." She said smiling sweetly and walking out of the room with a bounce.

Then I thought about it… I was going to be late to class anyway, because I couldn't move. I was so hard. "Hey… TORI!" I shouted to get her attention, "Baby please don't leave me here like this."

She laughed at me. "Remember, look, don't touch." She continued out of the room with laughter in her voice. "Bye Andre."

"Aw, man." Damn it Jade.

Tori

After Sikowitz class, I had a class with Jade, and Beck. Jade kept eyeing me suspiciously the whole class. I attempted to ignore it. I didn't want to look at her; I was embarrassed. She kissed me, and despite myself I liked it. Well, not enough to give up Andre, but enough to convince me that she did have feelings.

She was so good at acting, it is usually so studied and precise, but there is that rawness in her she never showed before. Yet I wonder if the audience could feel the sheer raw state Jade put herself in. It drew my emotions into a tailspin. She was talented, and I was in awe.

After class, I was headed out to lunch. I stopped by my locker to put a few things away. "Vega!" I heard from behind me.

I turned and tried my best to smile, "Hey Jade… Congratulations on your win."

"Yeah, whatever, I have a question." She said. She stood in front of me the same way she always did, her attitude oozing out of her pores, but her eyes were different.

"What's up?"

"Do your parents know about you and Andre?"

"Of course." I answered and went back putting the rest of my things in the locker then closing it.

"Let me get this straight… Your parents let their seventeen year old daughter move in to her millionaire seventeen year old boyfriend's house… and they are okay with that?"

I looked around and saw a few people looking at us. "Andre is not my boyfriend." I grabbed her arm the same way she had done me once when she and Beck had broken up and she needed to cry. She pulled her arm away from me and I took it again and pulled her to that conversation hole of ours.

I told Jade everything. I spilled about the baby, I spilled about our marriage, I spilled about 365, I did. I talked to her as if she were my best girl friend. And for that moment she was. Jade West, became my best girl friend for that day. I wondered how long it would last. "Don't worry Vega. Your secrets are safe with me." She said and walked out of the broom closet.

At home that night, I tried to hurry through some of my regular homework, so I could concentrate on some more fun home chores. Andre was in the studio writing. There was a knock at the door. I sighed, "Come in!"

"We come bearing video." Beck said walking in with some movies and a bag of Chinese food. I put my glasses on top of my head, "and food."

"Yum that smells so good, I haven't had a chance to cook yet."

"Oh please, don't poison us." Jade said sitting next to me on the couch. "Where is the hubs?"

"In the studio composing." I said reaching for an egg roll.

"Does he know you told me?" She asked

"About what? The song?" I asked and she nodded. "No."

"Good I'm gonna go screw with him a little… care to join me?" She raised her brow. Beck looked at us trying to figure out what we were talking about. I smiled and dropped my Trigonometry notebook and followed Jade.

The studio was dark, which meant Andre was over by the soundboard. We stood by a microphone and she turned it on. "Look Tori, that scene we did this morning…"

"Yeah I know, you won fair and square."

"Let me finish… God you can be so infuriating."

"Okay, Jade what's up?" Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Andre's head snap to attention.

"It was only… I won because… I have the biggest… crush.. "

"Jade don't say it! That's my woman, and I like you as my friend don't make me get ugly." He turned up the lights in the studio. I was blinded for a second and I closed my eyes.

I smirked; Jade was trying to hide a smile and turned her head away from us. "Oh… Andre… "She let out a little giggle, then glared at me before I dare laugh at her. "I'm sorry."

"Yeah that kiss was hot in theory, but I don't ever want you looking at her like that again." I was shocked at his possessiveness. I had no Idea that could affect him like that.

"Not unless you're in the room right?" Jade snarked.

"Okay, " I had to stop it, it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. "Andre, she knows about 365."

"Tor… "

"Don't worry Andre, It's a great song I love it." She softened. "And, you finally got your feelings straightened out." She looked at me. "By the way, your lady is one hell of a kisser."

My jaw dropped, and I blushed. Andre smiled his 'hell yeah' smile. "You know it."

"We came down here to tell you we have food." I said, "And videos."

"Cool, let's go." Andre said wrapping an arm around both of us.
