YAY! Another chapter! *does happy dance* So yea, I've been working hard and I can't say thank you enough to my beta Nikki! She is super awesome for helping me get this last little bit put together. Thank you Nikki!
Oh my wow! Almost 10 reviews for 2 chapters! I want to thank the people who have taken a moment to review this story. : D
***Please don't forget to check out my beta's story "When it Rains" by Nikkibear624. It's an amazing story! (I should know because I'm beta-ing for her ;))***
And always the disclaimer: I do not own Jade, Tori, Beck or any of the cast of VicTORious. (God, do I wish that I did ;) ) I just let them out to play as they please. I promise to return them in more or less the same condition they were found in. I can't control the naughty situations that Jade/Tori/Beck find themselves in.
I do however own Trista, Maria and any other characters that you don't recognize.
I would also like to point out, Spanish is not my first language and I've been slowly learning from friends and friends of friends, so if something doesn't look right. Please let me know. I don't mean to offend anyone, I just want to do something a little different for me.
Anyway, thank you again for reading. Please take the time to review. It takes about 2 seconds, yet it means the world to us writers. (Yes, I know I'm shameless in asking for reviews: D)
Yours,
Cissa
Chapter Three
"So what is the plan for tonight Mi ja?"
"I'm not exactly sure. Trista obviously doesn't want us anywhere near here. She doesn't want us to disrupt her 'business' dinner."
"How about Karaoke Dokie?"
"They do have amazing wings."
"Hmph."
"Nothing is better than your cooking, Maria." Jade said with a smile.
"That's right. Now you'd better get moving before the wicked witch appears."
"You really don't like your step-mother do you?" Tori asked as Jade stood.
"I liked her until my dad said he was marrying her. He is twice her age."
"That can't be the only reason why you hate her."
"Oh, there have been many reasons and they keep adding up."
"Come on, let's get going. We can always talk about the step-monster later." Beck said as he handed his dirty plate to Maria and thanked her for dinner.
Tori shook her head. 'Surely this woman couldn't be that horrible, could she?'
"Come on Tori. You can't go dressed like that!"
Tori looked down at her outfit and then at Beck. "What's wrong with my outfit?"
He shrugged and followed Jade to her room.
"Jade….I look ridiculous." Tori whined as she tugged at the midriff baring shirt.
"I don't know, I think you look beautiful." Beck said as he stood behind her. Tori felt her cheeks flush as his hands came to rest on her hips.
"Admit it Tori. You look hot." Jade said as she adjusted her skirt and touched a hand to her hair.
"I don't understand why we have to get all dressed up if we are just going to Karaoke Dokie." She said as she swiped mascara on her lashes and then gave her shirt another tug.
"You know that shirt would look even sexier if you had a belly button ring."
"Uh huh, and I can just imagine what my mother will say if I came home with an additional piercing that is not sanctioned by her."
"Better to beg forgiveness than ask for permission." Beck said as he moved away from Tori and watched the girls continue getting ready.
"Yes, well my mother wouldn't see it that way. I'd find my butt locked in my bedroom till Graduation."
"That's only a year and a half away. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, would it? Besides, I could always sneak in."
"I love my family, don't get me wrong, but they can be stifling. If I came home and told my parents that I was in a threesome relationship with another girl and a guy and that I had gotten belly button piercing on top of that, I would probably find myself shipped off to boarding school."
"I don't think they would be that extreme." Beck said as he stood again.
"Have you met my mother? Or Trina? Where do you think she gets it from? Why do you think I didn't want to tell her about the three of us just yet?"
"Tori, it'll be okay. We won't let your family send you away and even if they succeed, between the two of us, we have more than enough money to find you anywhere and there is nothing they can do to stop us from coming to your rescue." Beck said as he pressed a kiss to Tori's lips.
"Besides, I can wrap just about anybody around my little finger. You're not going anywhere unless I say so." Jade said as she crossed her arms over her chest and smirked. Tori couldn't help but smile at that.
"Come on, enough talking about what if's and things that haven't yet affected our lives as of yet. I want to sing."
Jade held out her hand for Tori to take as she led the way down the stairs.
"Oh, Jade. Don't you think that outfit is a bit too grown up for you?" a voice said from the bottom of the staircase.
"I'm almost 18 Trista. This is what girls my age wear. Besides you aren't my mother so you shouldn't care what I look like."
"There's a court document filled in the state of California that says otherwise, darling. So you march yourself and your trampy friend upstairs and put on clothes that are more appropriate for your age."
"Trampy?" Tori said as she crossed her arms over her chest. She now understood why Jade hated this woman.
"With all due respect Mrs. West, you are not MY mother. Therefore, you'll have to excuse me when I disregard your request."
"Then you'll have to excuse me when I say that you are no longer welcome in this house. You may grab your things and leave before I call the police." She said as she crossed her arms over her chest and staring her down.
"Tori…don't." Beck said when Tori opened her mouth to say something more. She normally respected her elders, but this woman had just called her a tramp. Beck took her arm and led her down the stairs. Tori continued to glare at Trista as Jade followed.
"Try and stop me Trista. I dare you."
"Ja—"
"Ay, Mi ja. You look beautiful, but do you think that skirt is a little too short?"
"Saved by Maria." Beck whispered to Maria. "I'll be fine Maria. I have a pair of jeans in Beck's truck. Besides, Beck is going along as my protection. Be back later! Don't wait up!" Jade said as she pushed the two towards the front door. "Go!" She hissed as they exited house on Trista's call of "We aren't finished here Jade!"
"Have I told you how much I love Maria?" Jade said as she climbed in to Beck's truck after Tori.
"You don't have to explain why you hate Trista so much. Trampy? Ha! Look who's talking! I think I understand why you hate her."
"Tor, she said it because she was trying to get a rise out of me. I'm sorry she insulted you."
"Jade, it's not your fault. But seriously, who the hell does she think she is? "
"Tor—"
"I mean seriously. She's talks to you like you're 5 and she insults your frie-" Tori was cut off by Jade kissing her.
"Will you shut the hell up for five seconds?"
"She insulted me!"
"And should you care? She was doing it to get a rise out of us. She's winning for every second that you are angry."
Tori grumbled.
"Seriously. She's a gank. She's not going to ruin tonight for me. For us."
"What's so special about tonight?"
"It's our first date as group. Duh Vega."
The group sat down at a table near the stage and clapped politely as the young woman on the stage finished her song. Beck ordered food and drinks for the girls and sat down between them. "So what are you planning to sing?" Tori asked Jade as Beck played with her hair.
"I have a couple in mind." Jade said as the waitress put a smoothie in front of both of the girls.
"This isn't what I ordered." Beck said as he sat up straighter.
"It's from the guys at the table over there." The girl said as she gestured towards the two teenage guys sitting near the stage. Both of them had triumphant smiles on their faces.
"Send them back and tell them, 'Thanks but no thanks'." Jade said as she grabbed both drinks and put them back on the waitress' tray.
"Whatever, your loss." She said as she took the drinks back over to the guys and set them down.
"They don't look too happy." Tori observed.
"And now they are coming over here… Great." Beck said.
"Hey, we were trying to do something nice for you girls." The blonde haired teen said.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you it's rude to send back a drink that a guy pays for?" The other teen said.
"Did your mother tell you it's rude to interrupt a girl on a date?" Jade shot back.
"Heh, you can do much better than him." The blonde muttered, eyeing Beck.
"Wanna say that to my face?" Beck said getting annoyed. Jade put her hand on his wrist and gave the two boys a withering glare.
"What about you, sweetheart? Since the two lovebirds don't want to be bothered or nothin'." The other teen asked, looking at Tori.
Tori looked at Jade and Beck for help. They looked at each other, unsure what to do. Jade and Tori shared a meaningful look. Then Tori smiled at the two boys. "Umm, sure. Jade? Will you come with me to the bathroom?" she said looking at Jade.
"What? Tori, you can't be serious." Beck said as he looked at both of the girls.
"Trust us. We know what we're doing." Jade said with a wink and a smile. She grabbed her purse and linked arms with Tori.
Beck looked at the two girls and shook his head. They were up to something, but he wasn't about to get in the middle of it.
He glared at the two boys as they high-fived each other. He sat back in his chair and waited for the waitress to bring their food and drinks out.
"Did they ditch you for those two?" The waitress asked as she set the food down.
"Nope." Beck said.
"Too bad. They don't seem to appreciate you. I mean what girl would give up a handsome guy like you?"
"Sorry, I'm taken." He said obviously knowing what the girl wanted.
"In case you change your mind." She said as she put a napkin on the table with her number and lipstick kiss on it.
"I'm sorry, but no thanks." He said pushing the napkin back to her.
"Just in case." She said leaving the napkin where it was and going to see to her other customers.
Beck ignored the napkin and leaned back with his soda in hand. He watched the girls enter the restroom and the exit a minute later. He watched them join the two teens and glared at them. Jade turned back to him and winked at him.
He had to trust that she knew what she was doing but at the same time he felt his blood boil. Who did those two think they are? He took a deep breath and waited patiently. Jade and Tori could take care of themselves and he was only a couple tables away if things went bad.
"Hey man, what's up?" Andre said as he, Robbie and Rex said down on either side of him.
"Nothing." He said as he took a sip of his soda.
"Where's Jade? Isn't she like surgically attached to your hip?" Andre asked.
"Mama found some Northridge boys." Rex said as he spotted Tori and Jade.
"Did you guys have a fight?" Cat asked as she sat down.
"No, we did not have a fight. She's trying to teach them a lesson." He said as he took another sip.
"What? That Northridge boys don't date Hollywood Arts girls?" Robbie asked.
"Something like that." He said as Tori and Jade stood up and went over to the DJ.
"Show's about to start." He smiled. Suddenly everything made sense to him.
"Yay! Go Tori! Go Jade!" Cat cried as the girls were handed a pair of microphones and they took the stage.
The lights dimmed and the show started
