XOXO
Tori and Jade walked into school hand in hand. It was the day before their one year anniversary so they had big smiles on their faces. Jade walked Tori to her locker to get her stuff for first period. Jade's things were in there too. They still had about 15 minutes until class started so they went to the janitor's closet to have a little alone time. Jade locked the door and within seconds Tori had her pressed against it. Hot breaths and moans were swallowed by the other. Tongues danced a routine they had done many times before and hands traveled to forbidden places. Then the bell rang, interrupting their intimate moment. Jade groaned and Tori gave her one last kiss before they walked out of the closet. They walked to their first period class together which was with Sikowitz. Jade sat down and Tori put her legs over Jade's lap. About halfway into the class, Lane walked in with a sympathetic look on his face.
"Sikowitz, can I speak with Tori for a moment?" Lane asked. Sikowitz nodded so Tori followed Lane out of the room, shooting a confused look at Jade who just shrugged.
Three agonizing minutes passed as Jade sat there chewing her bottom lip and wondering what Lane and her girlfriend were talking about. A moment later, Tori came back into the room to get her things. To the untrained eye, Tori looked fine. Jade knew better. She could see the way Tori's shoulder slumped slightly, the way her shining eyes had dimmed, the downturned corners of her mouth. Something isn't right. Jade thought to herself. Tori left the room again without a single word.
"Sikowitz, can I go to the bathroom?" Jade asked, desperately wanting to be with her girlfriend.
"Yes, but I suggest using a toilet." Sikowitz said. Jade rolled her eyes and rushed out the door with her things. She figured that Tori would be in Lane's room so she went there first. She looked through the window in the door and saw Tori laying on the couch sobbing. She frowned and pushed the door open.
"Baby, what's wrong, what happened?" Jade questioned as she pulled the crying girl into her arms. Tori just sobbed harder. Jade laid them down on the couch and held Tori on top of her. Tori laid her head on the girl's stomach. Jade could feel the Tori's tears soaking through her shirt. This is really bad. Jade thought. You would think that Tori was emotional and would cry a lot, but in actuality she rarely cried. Even in these rare moments, Jade knew what to do.
Jade rubbed the girl's back gently and waited for her to cry herself to sleep. Tori wouldn't be answering any of her questions in the state that she's in now. Only sleep could calm the Vega girl down enough in order for her to be coherent. It took a while but eventually Tori was snoring softly. Jade kissed her forehead as Cat happened to walk into the room.
"What's wrong with Tori?" Cat whispered when she saw that the girl was sleeping. Jade just shook her head indicating that she didn't know. Cat walked over to the couch and frowned when she saw the dried tear tracks on Tori's face. She gently lifted Tori's legs and sat down on the couch, placing the legs in her lap. She rubbed them gently and smiled when she saw Tori lightly smile in her sleep. Jade was also smiling at the interaction between the two.
Cat was always really affectionate towards her and Tori, for reasons that she didn't know. It was either a touch that lingered a little too long, a hug that was a little too tight, or a kiss on the cheek that lasted a little longer than it should have. Jade wasn't complaining though. She liked the attention Cat gave her.
"I hope she's okay." Cat spoke softly, staring sadly at the sleeping girl.
"Me too." Jade said as she licked her thumb and gently wiped away the dried tear tracks on Tori's face.
About two hours later Tori blinked her eyes open. She quickly realized that she wasn't lying on a couch, but on people. She looked up and saw that Jade was asleep which caused her to smile softly. She then looked down and saw that her lower half was across Cat, who was also asleep. She smiled at the fact that they both cared about her so much.
Then her memory came flooding back as she realized why she'd been in Lane's room in the first place. Her eyes began to tear up and she cried softly. The girl's soft shaking woke Jade. She looked down at Tori and shushed her quietly. Tori soon calmed down as her girlfriend wiped her tears away. She leaned up to give Jade a sweet kiss. The movement caused Cat to wake up. She looked over at the two lovers kissing and smiled. She felt a twinge of jealousy in her chest, but she pushed it back. The two pulled away and noticed that Cat was awake.
"Hey Cat." Tori smiled, cuddling into Jade more.
Cat smiled at her. "Did you have a nice nap?" Cat asked.
"Yeah, thanks to you guys." Tori sighed contently.
"So, are you going to tell us why you were crying?" Jade questioned. Tori tensed up. Cat returned to rubbing her legs, which relaxed her enough to tell the story.
"Well um, my dad went to work really early this morning because he got a lead on a case he'd been working for a few weeks. They'd finally tracked down the suspect, but I guess the guy knew the police were coming. My dad just had to be the brave one and go in first." Tori shook her head solemnly. "He'd only taken a few steps into the house before it blew up. He was the only officer that died and apparently the bastard killed himself in the explosion too. I would've loved to see his sorry ass rot in prison for what he did." Tori started to cry again, but this time it wasn't out of sadness. It was out of anger. She gritted her teeth together hard as she tried to will away the tears.
Jade and Cat worked together to calm Tori down. Jade gently wiped her cheeks and shushed her while Cat rubbed her thighs and whispered comforting words to her. Tori relaxed under the girls' touches, emotionally exhausted.
"You want to get out of here and go to my house?" Jade asked her softly. Tori nodded so Jade picked her up. Tori tightened her arms and legs around Jade. All three girls left the room and Cat started to walk back to class. Tori whimpered and reached out for her; that was all she could do in her current state. Cat turned around and walked back to them.
"Where are you going?" Tori asked her quietly, about to fall asleep again.
"I figured that you guys wouldn't want me there so you could have some alone time because of what happened and everything." Cat said timidly.
"Cat we want you there." Jade consoled. Cat couldn't hold back her smile as Tori agreed by stroking her cheek softly. Cat leaned her head into the gentle touch. The moment ended too soon for Cat when the bell rang and people began to fill the hallways.
"C'mon." Jade called. They walked out of the school to Jade's car. Cat got into the passenger's seat when she noticed that Jade got into the driver's seat with Tori on her lap. They did it often so Jade's ability to drive wasn't an issue. Cat was still a little apprehensive. She didn't want to be the third wheel and torture herself by watching them make out. Her thoughts were interrupted when Jade started the engine.
It didn't take long for them to get to Jade's house. Cat got out as Jade carried Tori, who had fallen asleep again. Jade opened the door and they walked inside. Cat had been to Jade's house many times before, but the house always seemed to amaze her. It was spacious and had a warm, welcoming feeling to it. They went up to Jade's room so she could lay Tori on the bed. Tori snuggled into the sweet smelling duvet. It smelled just like Jade, cinnamon and citrus, an odd combination that drove Tori crazy. Jade gave her a kiss on the cheek then Cat gave her one on the forehead. Both girls went downstairs and sat on the couch to talk and watch a movie.
"It's so sad what happened to her dad." Cat said, laying her head on Jade's shoulder. "Yeah." Jade agreed, leaning down to kiss Cat's forehead. Cat's skin burned where Jade's lips had touched her. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat at the sensation. Jade noticed and figured she could use it as a doorway to a conversation she'd been meaning to have with Cat.
"Cat, why do you get uncomfortable when me or Tori touches you?" Jade questioned.
Cat tensed up. "Umm, no reason." She said shyly.
"I just didn't understand why because you're always really touchy feely with us." Jade said pointedly.
"Does it bother you?" Cat said with a little panic in her voice.
"No, I actually kind of like it." Jade smiled. Cat visibly calmed down. "Why are you so touchy with us anyway?" Jade continued.
"I'm touchy with everybody." Cat said quietly.
"No you're not, Cat. I notice the longing looks and lingering touches. If you want to tell me something then tell me." Jade urged.
Cat began to tear up under pressure and shook her head no. "You and Tori are going to hate me."
"We could never hate you Cat." Jade assured as she wrapped her arm around Cat and pulled her closer. Cat snuggled into Jade's warmth. "Yes you will." Cat cried softly. Jade pulled the girl with her as she laid on the couch. She stroked Cat's hair to calm her down.
"Just tell me Cat, I promise I won't hate you." Jade said softly. Cat looked into her eyes and saw that she was being honest. She quickly got lost in the shimmering glow of them. Then, as if some force had been pulling her in, Cat pressed her lips gently against Jade's. To her surprise and excitement, Jade kissed back. The kiss quickly turned passionate with mingling tongues and roaming hands. Cat straddled Jade's waist and deepened the kiss.
"Wow." They immediately pulled away at the interruption.
"Tori!" Jade said in a panic. "I'm so sorry! She just kissed me and I couldn't help it and-" Jade buried her face in her hands out of shame.
Tori walked over to Jade and hugged her tightly. "Baby, I'm not mad." Tori said soothingly.
"How could you not be mad?" Jade said as she lifted her teary face from her hands. "I'm not mad because honestly, I kind of like Cat too." Tori admitted, wiping Jade's tears away with her thumb.
"What?" Jade said shocked. Tori kissed her softly then leaned over and did the same thing to Cat. The kiss between them was starting to get a little heated so Jade kissed Tori's neck to remind her that she was still there. Tori blushed and pulled away.
"Sorry." She said then gave Jade a chaste kiss. The taste of Tori and Cat combined made Jade moan a little.
"So where does this leave us?" Cat asked with a hint of hope in her voice. Tori and Jade shared a glance. Cat could tell that they were having a conversation with their eyes. They smiled at each other then smiled at Cat. They crept closer to the petite girl and got on either side of her. Jade gently grabbed Cat's chin and pulled her in for a sultry kiss. Cat whimpered when the lips moved away, but they were quickly replaced by Tori's equally soft ones. Cat moaned into the kiss, but Tori stopped it before it became too much.
"So, would you like to go out with us Cat?" Jade officially asked. Cat could barely control her excitement.
"It would mean the world to me." Cat started crying tears of happiness. She'd spent so much time dreaming about this moment and it was finally happening.
"Aww, don't cry baby." Tori assuaged. Cat smiled through her tears when Tori called her 'baby'. Jade pulled Cat into her lap. Cat straddled Jade's waist and cuddled into her chest. Tori smiled at the scene in front of her. Jade and Cat looked so adorable snuggled together like that. Tori kissed Jade then Cat and smiled at the taste of cinnamon and sugar on her tongue.
"You two look so cute together." Tori voiced her thoughts. Cat smiled and yawned.
"I'm tired." She said, relaxing more when Jade's arms wrapped around her.
"It's only one in the afternoon. What were you doing up so late last night?" Jade pondered.
"I was writing in my diary about you guys." Cat blushed. Tori and Jade giggled.
"C'mon, let's get you in bed." Jade said standing and carrying the girl up the steps to her room. She gently placed the girl on the bed and kissed her softly. Tori kissed her next.
"Sweet dreams Kitten." Tori said. Cat smiled widely, soon drifting off to sleep. Tori and Jade exited the room and closed the door quietly behind them.
"Kitten? Really?" Jade teased with a smile as they walked down the steps.
"Well her name is Cat and she kind of acts like a baby so I came up with Kitten." Tori said confidently. Jade let out a little snort of laughter.
"You're just mad that you didn't think of it first!" Tori said, sticking her tongue out at Jade.
"Don't get your thong in a twist. I think the nickname Kitten is cute. I might even use it myself." Jade smiled.
"How do you know that I'm wearing a thong?" Tori crossed her arms skeptically.
"I have a sixth sense when it comes to your choice of underwear." Jade smirked.
Jade sat on the couch and pulled Tori into her lap. "How are you feeling?" Jade asked, turning the mood serious. "I feel better now that I have you and Cat." Tori smiled softly, laying her head on Jade's chest. "I miss him so much." Tori said after a moment of silence.
"I know baby." Jade said kissing her forehead. "You want to spend the night here?"
Tori nodded softly as her eyes began to tear up. Jade held her close and gently rocked her. They sat in silence for a while, just enjoying the comfort they got from being near one another. Cat came back downstairs about an hour later, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She smiled warmly and gave each girl a quick kiss. Tori had calmed down not too long ago and just wanted something to take her mind off of what happened. Jade knew this since she could read Tori like a book.
"Why don't we play a game?" Jade suggested.
"How about I Spy?" Cat asked.
"Sure Kitten." Jade said, smirking at Tori. Tori playfully rolled her eyes.
"You want to go first Tori?" Cat questioned.
"Sure, I spy something red."
"My hair?" Cat giggled.
"Nope." Tori smiled as she kissed Cat's cheek causing the petite girl to blush.
"Cat's cheeks?" Jade guessed. Tori nodded and laughed.
"Ok, my turn." Jade smiled. "I spy something pink."
"Cat's shirt?" Tori asked. Jade shook her head no.
A thought occurred to Cat and she grinned. "These?" Cat asked and she leaned in and kissed Tori, biting the brunette's lip gently as she pulled away.
Jade eagerly nodded. "Can I have some of that?"
Cat giggled and did the same thing to Jade. Jade added a little moan at the end, much to her girlfriends' enjoyment.
"Yay, my turn." Cat said giddily. "I spy something brown!"
The game continued on for a while until the girls lost their creativity. They settled for kissing and cuddling while watching a movie. Around one in the morning Jade was beginning to doze off.
"I should've had a nap like you guys." Jade yawned.
"Go to bed baby, we'll be up later when we're tired again." Tori said.
Jade nodded and gave each girl a long kiss goodnight. After she went upstairs, Tori and Cat snuggled together and finished the movie. Around two in the morning they mutually decided to go to bed. They changed and got into bed with Tori in the middle; it seemed like she needed the most comfort right now. Jade instinctively wrapped an arm around Tori and pulled her closer. Cat snuggled into Tori's back and laced her fingers together with Jade's. All let out a contented sigh and let sleep carry them away.
Jade woke up first the next morning. She smiled when she saw her two favorite people in bed next to her. She untangled herself from them and went downstairs to start breakfast. She was almost done when her girlfriends came down the steps with their fingers intertwined. Tori immediately ran over to Jade and kissed her passionately.
"Happy anniversary baby!" Tori shouted excitedly. Jade pulled Tori into a tight embrace.
"I love you so much." Jade said placing kisses all over Tori's face. The smaller girl giggled. "I love you too!"
"Look what I made for you!" Jade grinned as she handed Tori a plate with eggs, bacon, and a heart shaped pancake on it. Under the pancake Jade had written 'Best Year Ever' in chocolate syrup. "Aww, thank you Jadey." Tori smiled, rubbing her nose against Jade's. Their intimate moment was broken when they heard a little sniffle. They looked over to the couch to see Cat lying on her stomach, crying into her folded arms. They rushed over.
"Kitten, what's wrong." Tori asked.
Cat lifted her teary face and sighed. "You two obviously belong together, I should just leave." She got up and started to walk toward the door.
"Cat wait." Jade pleaded and she grabbed Cat from behind and carried her back to the couch.
"No, it's your anniversary. Just go spend time with Tori." Cat said sadly as she fought against the arms that were still encircled around her.
"I want to spend time with both of you today." Jade said resolutely. "I'll prove it." She said as she carried Cat to the kitchen. "I made pancakes for Tori and you." She placed Cat in a chair and put a plate on the table in front of her. It had all the same things as Tori's except the writing said 'Best Day Ever' instead. Cat stood up a kissed Jade passionately then did the same to Tori.
"I'm sorry; I shouldn't have gotten so emotional." Cat apologized.
"It's ok Kitten." Tori smiled softly.
They ate breakfast in a comfortable silence. Tori sat and reflected on her life. Her dad had died a tragic death as a reward for his bravery. In a way, he was a hero. He was Tori's hero. She would miss him every day for the rest of her life, but it's ok because she wanted his memory to live on in her heart. She also had two incredible girlfriends. One was a book that she could easily read and the other was a book that constantly changed plots at random, but she loved them both the same. She'd had her future with Jade planned out, but now it looked like she needed to rewrite the whole story. She and Jade felt completed with Cat and that's the way it would stay forever.
The End
A/N: I think I made this too much about Cat when it should've centered on Tori. I was stuck on this story so I just decided to wing it. Hope you like it.
