*flashback*
Jade was staring at her plate as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. She and Beck had decided to go out to dinner that night since both of their careers were in full swing and they rarely saw each other. Jade had Savannah four years ago and the little girl had brought the both of them happiness. At least that's what Beck thought. He was worried about his wife, lately she became distant. Yes he cheated on her once, but that was in the past. They weren't even together when it happened… were they? Beck wasn't quite sure. All he knew is when Jade said "let's take a break" it meant "let's see other people" for the time being. That was his interpretation.
Looking at Jade from across the table, Beck noticed how distant she was being. It's almost as if she was in her own world. Clearing his throat loudly, he reached over and touched her. The movement seemed to scare her a bit because she jumped a little at the sudden contact.
"Jade, what's wrong? You've been… distant lately. "
Jade sat back in her seat and stared at Beck. Taking in his appearance, she knew right then and there why she was feeling distant. It's been a month since she and Beck got back together and things were going well. But for some reason she just didn't feel close to him… they were so young when they got married and everyone who knew Jade and Beck, knew that they were in love. That is until Beck cheated on Jade. She decided they needed a break from each other because she knew better than to yell in front of a child. Growing up, she was alone and scared when her parents argued in front of her. She didn't want her precious little angel Savannah to go through that. Jade couldn't even remember the full argument. She loved Beck, she really did. But she wasn't in love with him after that little cheating incident.
Looking back over at Beck, Jade was going to tell him. She had waited too long and it was probably for the best.
"Beck… I love you."
Beck smiled that smile that used to make Jade's knees go weak, but for some reason it just wasn't having that much of an effect on her.
"I love you too." It was obvious he meant it and yet it stilled had that "but" tone at the end.
"I know you do. I just–" oh no, Jade thought. Before she knew it, tears were streaming down her face and she tried so hard to stop them, but the more she looked at Beck the more the tears came crashing in.
"Babe, what's wrong?" Beck stood up and walked on the other side of the table and kneeled in front of his wife.
Jade just looked at Beck. And in that moment, she knew her life would never be the same again. Why did nothing ever workout for her? Why was she always lonely? Why did no one understand her? She cursed the universe that day, because there was only one person who would put up with her crap. And right now, she was letting him go. He deserved better.
*End of flashback*
"MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!"
Jade snapped out of her thoughts and looked in the back seat to a screaming-at-the-top-of-her-lungs, Savannah. How long was she in her little world? It always happened whenever she brought Savannah to her father's house. One minute she's singing to the radio and then the next, she's thinking about that day she let the best thing that ever happened to her go.
"Savannah, do you have to scream to get my attention?"
Savannah just unbuckled her seatbelt and shut the car door while hugging her teddy bear Jade got her at Target. The little girl wouldn't shut up about the bear so Jade gave into those big brown eyes of her's and bought the fluffy little thing. Ever since then, Savannah took it everywhere she went.
"We were sitting in the car for a whole five minutes. I tried throwing something at the back of your head, but my aim was off."
Jade laughed at her daughter as she rang the doorbell. It really surprised her sometimes how Savannah took after her. Heck, sounds like something she'd do herself if someone was spaced out. The door swung open and Beck stood there with that handsome smile of his.
"Hey there baby" Beck said as he squatted and gave his daughter a hug and lifted her up in his arms.
Jade loved seeing them together. Beck loved Savannah, not just because she was his own flesh and blood, but because she was the first actual child that he had. That is until Jessica was born.
"Well, I guess I don't get a hi." Jade said as she put on her best sad face.
Beck chuckled and hugged his ex-wife. The good thing about their relationship was that they both had moved on, though sometimes the awkward cloud was above them.
"I'll pick her up tomorrow, but please, try not to give her too much sugar this time." Jade gave a stern look at both Beck and Savannah. Both of them ate sugar like it was going out of style.
"Boo, you're no fun" Savannah climbed down from her father's arms and ran into the house to meet her step-sister.
Beck studied Jade for a second since she was doing something on her phone. She hadn't changed a bit since they got divorced. She was still gorgeous, but something seemed off about the blackhead. She looked… happy? Not that Jade wasn't happy every time He saw her, but something must of made her that way over the last week. But being the good ex-husband that he was, Beck was going to let Jade tell him on her own time.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Beck snapped out of his thoughts and found out that he was staring at Jade. Rubbing the back of his neck and clearing his throat, Beck tried to form words, but ended up stuttering something incoherent.
"Oh… I uh – well I just –"
"Baby, Jack is on the phone."
Olivia came into view and of course, she looked sexy as ever. Olivia gave off this vibe that Jade couldn't quite put her finger on. Out of all the girls in this world, he chose to marry Olivia Stride. She was the popular girl in high school, head cheerleader, head of student council, and of course a sex goddess. Jade didn't hate the girl, but every time she saw her, she felt self-conscious about herself and, well, her breasts. God, did that girl have boobs. Jade couldn't stand how Olivia could make a plain white t-shirt into a fuck me t-shirt.
"Oh- hi, Jade!" Said Olivia as she waved from inside.
"Hi Olivia." Clearing her throat she figured now would be the appropriate time to head off. So she said her goodbyes and warned her ex-husband about not feeding her daughter sugar.
"You don't have to be an ass, you know. Maybe try asking me like a normal human being." Tori was on the phone with her best friend, Andre. They've been talking about how she was liking New York so far, but of course, he only cared about her love life.
"I'm not being an ass… speaking of ass, have you gotten any since you've been over there?"
"Perv." Tori laughed and set the last bit of dinner on the dining room table. Truth be told, she couldn't wait to hang with Jade. There was something about the blackhead that gave her this eerie, yet amazing feeling. The blackhead was a mystery and Tori couldn't wait to figure her out.
"I'm not being a perv, all I'm saying is that you need to start dating again. I hate seeing you do this to yourself."
"I know you mean well, Andre. But she doesn't even know I'm a lesbian. I'm pretty sure she's straight. She uh... just got divorced. Well, I think two years ago." Wow. How the hell did she know that? Was it that obvious she was interested in the blackhead when she talked to Trina on the phone this morning?
Just as Tori was about to tell Andre how creepy and stalker-ish she was being, the doorbell rung and she almost tripped over everything while she ran to the door.
"Andre, I gotta go! Jade's here" Man, did she love the way Jade's name sounded on her tongue. So sweet and sexy, she could say it again and again and savor it each time.
"Get some tonight or don't call me again. Bye, I love you." Before she could reply the line went dead. Typical, Andre. Sex was the farthest thing from her mind and plus, Jade deserved someone better. Not her. There was just too much to her past the blackhead wouldn't be attracted to…
Opening the door slowly, she saw Jade standing in her black coat with her hands folded in front of her. She had a warm smile on her face… Tori studied her for a bit, taking in every single piece of her features.
"What is this? Stare at Jade until she gets uncomfortable day?" Said Jade thinking about how Beck did the same thing not too long ago.
Tori laughed and blushed. She didn't intentionally mean to stare at the blackhead. Jade was the epitome of pure beauty and Tori just couldn't help herself.
"So are you going to invite me in? If you haven't notice, it's a bit nippy out here."
Stepping aside and chuckling, she opened the door wider for Jade to enter.
"You're hot, so I think you would've been fine."
"That's so corny, Tori." Yet she still laughed loud at the blunt compliment. Tori thought she was hot? That surprised the blackhead because if Tori haven't notice, she was the hot one. Hence why Jade couldn't speak properly the first time she saw her.
" Yup, I'm just full of corny things. No seriously, I just had some corn before you came over." The thing is, she was being serious, yet she couldn't stop herself from being silly around Jade. It came naturally for her and she loved the feeling.
Laughing again, Jade took her coat off "You're something else." Said Jade as she sat down at the dining room table.
"You love it"
"Whoa there, we haven't even had our first date and you're talking about love?" Jade laughed and gave Tori another teasing grin.
Tori laughed and joined Jade at the table. But something didn't feel right, she didn't know if Jade was messing around or being serious. Did she know that the brunette was hitting on her? Or was this just another teasing thing that friends do?
"So then let's go on a date." Tori said a bit low. She figured Jade didn't hear her because she never got a response from the blackhead.
Dinner went as planned; Jade and Tori sat and got to know each other. The more in depth they got the more they found out little things about the other person. There was no tension, it's almost as if they've met in a past life and were reuniting again. Jade felt carefree around the brunette and even though Tori thought she was embarrassing herself by being silly, Jade couldn't help but to think how adorable, cute, sexy, and hilarious the brunette was. Tori was the full package. How the hell did Tori become so perfect? If this was back in high school, she and Tori would've probably never spoken. Jade kept to herself during all four years, that is until she went off to college and met the older Vega sister. Trina was her first real friend that she had and at the time, it took years for them to actually become the way they are now. Actually Trina was Jade's only friend, apart from Beck, Jade rarely hung out with anyone else. Was she and Tori actually becoming friends? She didn't know, but she did like the feeling.
After dinner they both did the dishes, even though Tori kept refusing Jade's help. The blackhead said she didn't mind, due to the fact that this was her best friend's house and the older Vega sister would probably have a heart attack or kill her if she came home to a messy house. After splashing each other and messing around for a little bit, they found themselves on the couch drinking hot chocolate and watching TV.
"Why do we have to watch this show? Anything but the Kardashians." Jade couldn't believe Tori was into this crap. Yeah, they were all gorgeous but the show was stupid.
"Oh common, they're all pretty. It's not like I'm making you stare at ugly people."
"This show is stupid, I can't believe you're into this crap."
Truth be told, Tori was sucked into the TV which made Jade a little upset. She wanted the brunette all to herself. The feeling kind of threw her off a bit. It surprised her how she yearned for Tori's attention and how she craved those tiny touches of the brunette's skinny fingers. But Tori was sitting on the other couch and Jade didn't like it one bit. Why was she so into the brunette? Maybe it's the fact that she hadn't had a friend since she met Trina. Making a new friend all over again was something she hadn't done in a while. Yeah, that was it. She forgotten how it was to actually have a girlfriend and do girly things with.
"Fine, we can do something else, but only if you don't ignore my question this time." Tori turn off the TV and walked over to Jade and sat down next to her.
"What question?"
Tori licked her lips slowly and looked down. Jade had to stop herself from staring too much because of how sexy that was. Why did Tori have to do these things that screamed "HEY! I'm sexy and I know it. And hell yeah I'm gonna show it and make everyone cum." Wait. What the hell did I just think? Thought Jade as she blushed. Thankfully the room was on low lighting so she doubts Tori saw how red she was.
"I wanna take you on a date." Tori blurted out. Hopefully Jade understood what she meant because during dinner she had given some hints as to how she felt about the blackhead.
Jade just laughed at Tori. Why was she so nervous? She and Trina had gone on many dates. Dinner dates, lunch dates, home-cooked meal dates, shopping dates, and many others. Jade didn't think anything of it because she thought it was going to be just two friends hanging out. Nothing more, nothing less.
Shrugging her shoulders and smiling at Tori Jade nodded her head.
"Sure, why not? I'll go on a date with you."
