Love y'all,

P.S I'm sorry if I'm misinformed about California's weather, but I live on the East Coast so other than movies and books I really have nothing to base it off of.
Chapter 5: Rainy Days
California was called "The Sunshine State" so it was safe to say that Jade didn't expect to wake up the second morning to the sound of rain steadily pattering against the glass of her window.
She groaned quietly as her eyes adjusted to her familiar room as the natural light illuminated the room with a soft, blue glow. Jade sat up slowly rubbing the crust away from her eyelids.
Tori stood by the window. She'd pulled the blinds all the way up so she could gaze out into the steady shower. The gray radiance washed over her tan features and it made Jade's breath catch in her throat as the mermaid appeared to be caressed by the clouded light.
She was, much to Jade's frustration, naked again. Her right knee propped up against the window pane. Her left leg supported much of her weight. Her right hip supported her tawny hand and the threshold of the window supported her entire left side as she leaned against it.
Her left hand supported her chin and her fingers nervously tugged at her pouty bottom lip. She stared straight out at the rain, disregarding Jade's awakening. Her usually lively brown eyes were clouded with distress and worry, her brown was crinkled in concentration.
"I can't go out in this, Jade." The fingers tugged anxiously at her lip, "If I get wet, I'll change and people will see me."
Jade looked slightly taken aback, "That's what you're worried about?"
Tori scoffed and finally tore her eyes away from the downpour to respond to Jade, "Of course! What if, because you missed out onto today, I failed and you decided to shoot yourself or something?" She looked frantically at Jade, her cockle shell eyes widening in fear.
Jade sighed, standing up from her bed. She wore black soffee shorts and a loose t-shirt, "Look, it's no big deal really. We'll just stay in today and we'll watch a bunch of movies or something."
Tori cocked her head to side her tresses swinging back and forth, "Movies…?" A cute blush crept up to her cheeks.
"You'll see." Jade turned her back to the mermaid and began making her bed.
Tori's musical voice was in Jade's ear now, her dune grass and coconut smell in her nostrils as Tori latched herself onto Jade's unsuspecting back. Tori's face buried into Jade's neck and her warm arms wound around the Goth's waist. The creature's naked breasts pressed into Jade's back.
"Promise," Tori whispered in Jade's ear, her hot breath causing a pink blush to find its home at Jade's cheeks, "Promise you won't hold the fact that we couldn't do anything today against me."
Jade sucked in a breath through her teeth as Tori's lips pressed against her neck and her hand grazed Jade's sex. "I," Jade found herself stuttering for the first time she could ever remember, "I promise I won't hold it against you Tori."
Jade felt Tori's wonderful smile against her skin and Tori maneuvered in front of her giving Jade's lips a seemingly innocent peck.
Tori continued about her business; brushing her teeth, putting on clothes, very revealing clothes, but clothes all the same, and brushing her hair.
Jade stood by her bed still, stunned by the action of Tori kissing her. Her fingers touched her lips lightly and a light blush dusted her pale cheeks.
The sound of the rain picking up brought Jade out of her own head and she found that Tori was standing in front of her with her hands on her soffee short clad hips and her white tank top riding up her skin. Tori tapped her foot impatiently, "Well, Jade. Are we just going to stand here or are we going to watch a," she paused her eyes rolling to the corner of her sockets as she thought of the unfamiliar word, "movie?"
Jade did a double-take, "Are those my clothes?"
Tori plucked at the thin white tank top and brought to Jade's attention that the Goth was able to see her brown nipples through the fabric, "Yeah. They're yours, does it matter?"
Jade caught herself smiling, "No… I just think it looks good on you."
Jade shook her head grabbing Tori's warm hand and lead her downstairs to the large home theatre. It was a large room with a leather couch directly in front of the large television with two matching love-seats off to the sides of the couch at angles.
She selected two waters from the bar that was at the back of the room and grabbed the salt shaker for Tori as she walked to one of the cases that surrounded the room. She was looking for something particular.
As Tori vaulted herself onto the large piece of furniture from the back, she retrieved The Little Mermaid from one of the numerous cabinets against the walls.
She put the blu-ray disk and sat on the couch, she relaxed into the recliner. She handed Tori the water and salt and watched in amusement as the mermaid did everything in her power to open the top.
Tori had started to bite it when Jade took it from her, "Here, let me." She opened the screw top easily and Tori laughed happily pouring the salt haphazardly in her bottle.
"This movie is about a mermaid. It may not be accurate so I decided to warn you now." Jade focused on the screen and she jumped when she felt Tori's head rest in her lap.
"We'll see." The flickering light from the TV reflected off the girl's auburn wisps and, before Jade could stop herself, her pale hand began to stroke Tori's soft locks.
They sat like that for the entire movie. Tori's head in Jade's lap. Jade stroking her hair softly. Tori making snide remarks whenever the information about mermaids was completely and utterly wrong.
It was great. It made Jade happy.
Tori sucked down her fourth bottle of salt water as the movie ended and she looked up at Jade.
"What now?" She sat up, her hair slightly disheveled from Jade's fingers. The rain still pattered away at the roof signaling that they would not be going out in public anytime soon.
Tori hopped up from the couch and walked over to the window and looked outside her bored expression instantly lighting up, "You have a pool house? Why didn't you tell me?"
Jade felt her brow furrow, "It never came up in conversation." The words were left unheard, however, as Tori ran through the deserted halls of Jade's house and out the back door. Jade watched from the room as Tori ran into the pool house, she stripped her clothes from her body and the littered behind her as a breadcrumb trail for Jade to follow.
Jade sighed grabbing a couple towels from the closet and exited the house. She slowly became wet as she walked the cobble-stone path to the pool house. The Goth picked up Tori's forgotten clothes and she entered the dry pool house finding Tori in the pool.
A smile played at her lips as she watched the mermaid play and frolic in the artificially salted water. She set Tori's abandoned clothes on one of the lounge chairs and she moved to the gray control box on the left of the wall.
Pressing some of the buttons, she slid back the sunroof that dumped a stream of water into the pool. She noise roused the mermaid who was swimming in the depths. It rained down into the pool and Tori smiled at Jade. Her hair slicked back from her resurfacing, Tori motioned for Jade to join her.
Jade was in a trance as Tori's cockle shell eyes stared at her with a certain emotion that she couldn't place. She was only vaguely aware of hands pushing down her shorts and she shivered as she took off her tank top. The cool air met her skin and she stared at Tori.
The water sounded like a machine gun as it poured into the pool. It was so loud, but a beautiful sound pierced through the barrage of precipitation.
"Jade."
Jade's feet shuffled forward towards the pool and she didn't breath. The noise of the run was muffled as Tori sang softly seemingly to herself. Jade walked down the pool steps and she walked to Tori in the waist high water. The Goth came to the drop-off and she swam the rest of the way towards the brunette.
Tori hummed "My Jolly Sailor Bold" and Jade waited in a stupor for Tori to speak to her first. The beads of water pelted Jade's head, sticking her hair to her face. The Goth felt Tori's warm hands rest on her hips, and around her, the water stirred with the forced of Tori's strong tail kicking at the liquid.
"Jade."
The Goth closed her eyes, "Hm?"
The melody of the song swam around in her head, making it incredibly difficult for Jade to focus on anything other than the way Tori's hands felt on her cool skin. Tori's right hand ran slowly, lovingly along Jade's muscular back and Tori's finger pulled lightly at Jade's black locks.
Although the touch was light, Jade's head fell back in compliance with the pulling fingers. The rain poured onto her face and Jade shuddered in the water when she felt Tori's lips dance across her exposed throat and shoulders. Tori's swift fingers pulled Jade's bra strap aside and her mouth kissed at the newly exposed skin.
"Jade…" Tori's lips climbed up Jade's throat and she hummed against the skin, sending soft vibrations through Jade's body.
"Yeah, Tori?" The mermaid was fully supporting the Goth weight now and she maneuvered the girl against the pool siding. Jade's hand found its way to Tori's bare shoulder and she half-lidded her eyes.
Tori smiled softly at Jade, her smooth thumb ran across Jade's jaw, "We just want you to be happy."
Before Jade could question who 'we' was, Tori's mouth descended onto hers and she was lost in the mermaid's kiss.
The song played over and over again in her head as Tori kissed her. Her lips were soft, but demanding and Jade soon found herself in submission. Tori's tongue explored the Goth's mouth slowly and intimately. It took its time; discovering and exploring every fold and cavity in Jade's mouth.
It was true.
The mermaid's kiss could save you. It wasn't biased about whether a person was drowning physically in the surf. Or if was drowning themselves, their mind battering their soul with waves of depression and angst.
The mermaid's kiss just saved you. No questions asked.
And when Tori kissed Jade, the Goth knew she'd been saved.
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold.
