Chapter 8 – Kiss

No One's POV

As Jade slowly reached over and took Tori's hand, the Latina's mind went wild.

"Oh my god, Jade's holding my hand. She's actually holding my hand. She actually likes me. Jade really wants to be with me. Her hand feels even more wonderful than I ever imagined it. I think I'm going to hyperventilate." He mind shot off in rapid fire fashion as she couldn't help but grin.

As Tori tired to calm herself down, because she was going to hyperventilate with joy, Jade felt the warmth from Tori's hand. The Latin's hand was tanned, soft and warm. Just the softness made it feel much nicer than Becks rough hand.

The feel of the soft hand in hers was both alien and strangely comforting. But with each passing second, that alien feeling dissipated. In a gentle motion, Tori took her thumb and rubbed tiny circles on the back of Jade's hand. Each gentle stroke felt warm and inviting, sending small tingles up her arm.

"Beck's touch never made me feel this way." Jade thought quietly to herself.

As she gazed into Tori's brown eyes she felt a tiny pull in her already racing heart.

"This is nice." Jade said, still grinning.

Tori's grin widened. "Yes it is."

Jade felt herself getting sucked into the moment. It was a good feeling. As she thought she felt like she was taking the first steps on a road. But she couldn't help but worry a bit, as sometimes roads don't take you where you want to go.

As Tori studied Jade's expression she could detect the slightest bit of angst in her face. Tori tried to think of what to say to relax the Goth.

"Jade, I just want you to know that there's no pressure here. Don't feel like you rush anything to please me. I want you to feel comfortable. Stop me if you think I'm moving too fast. Me, I'm just happy as can be that I'm here holding your hand. As corny as that may sound. "

"I appreciate that Vega, I really do." Jade said as she grew more comfortable with the new feelings that swelled up inside of her.

Tori wanted to kiss Jade, in fact she wanted to kiss Jade rather badly. As they sat there quietly, Tori's eyes kept being drawn to Jade's lips time and again. Eyeing them as a person in the desert would view, a cool water filled oasis.

Jade couldn't believe she was here, and enjoying it no less. She felt her self gradually being pulled into Tori's orbit.

Jade thought to herself, "What's more shocking, the fact that Tori kissed me yesterday or the fact that today I want her to kiss me again."

Jade felt ready for her first kiss, so to speak. Her whole body felt like it was ready. She smiled and gave a inviting gaze to Tori and leaned in ever so slightly.

Tori's eyes lit up like the fourth of July as she realized Jade wanted her first kiss. With a Joyful heart she slowly leaned in. It seemed like an eternity as she came closer and closer to the Goths lips.

She closed her eyes in anticipation.

"TORI! Are you back here, Are you OK?" said the Voice of Trina that suddenly came out of no where.

Jade pulled back as if startled, as Tori hissed in annoyance.

The pair turned, to see a somewhat drunken Trina coming out of the woods.

"Cat told me that psycho boyfriend of Jade's attacked you. Are you OK?" Trina said as she ran up to Tori and gave her a hug.

"Psycho Ex-Boyfriend" Growled Jade, as she stood up.

Tori huffed. "I'm fine, it's only a little bump on the head."

Trina immediately started to examine Tori's head, much to the chagrin of Tori.

Jade looked at Tori who was still sitting down. "That asshole left a bump on your head."

Tori reached up and felt the bump that was on the back of her head. "It's not that bad,"

Trina ran her fingers across the bump on Tori's head. "Does it hurt?"

"A little" Tori said as she looked at Jade with a smile. "But something much nicer was distracting me."

Trina stepped back with embarrassment, as she finally got a clue.

"OH…Jade doesn't hate you anymore. Were you two…"

Tori just shot her sister a nasty glare and stood up.

Jade made a low growl and took Tori's hand. "Come on Vega, let's get you some ice for that bump."

Tori smiled, once her hand was in Jade's.

"So tell me exactly what happened anyway." Jade said, as she lead Tori down the path. Trina followed the pair.

"Well I was in the downstairs and Beck shoved me in the bathroom. The next thing I know I'm pressed up against the wall, where he tells me to but out and not even look at you. I pushed him back and he collided with a small shelf and yelped in pain. He charged forward and hit me, causing me to fall into the empty bathtub, where I hit my head. Robbie burst in right after that and stopped him."

Jade squeezed Tori's hand. "I should have done more than kick him in the nuts and punch him. If he so much as looks at you, tell me right away. I will deal with him." Jade said, her voice going cold right at the end of the statement.

As they reached the end of the woods and were about to enter the back yard, Tori paused and looked at Jade.

"Are you comfortable with being in public with me?" Tori asked quietly.

Jade looked at the crowd on the patio in the distance, then back to Tori. She had a quiet smile on her face. Something about it made Jade feel warm inside. She wasn't used to feeling warm inside at all. It felt right to be with Tori. It felt right to hold her hand.

"Come on Vega, let's go" Jade said urging Tori on.

Tori's eyes seemed to sparkle as Jade urged her on, still holding her hand. They made their way across the patio, through the partygoers. Jade noticed a few curious looks, but no one seemed to pay attention or really mind. Tori was practically beaming. She was holding Jade's hand in public and was happier than hell. Tori was wearing a huge goofy smile that made that warm feeling inside Jade grow.

A minute later, Tori and Jade were in the kitchen. At the moment it was empty, except for them. Trina got distracted by a hot guy she spotted and vanished once again.

"Let me see this bump." Jade said as she felt the back of Tori's head.

"That fucker." Mutter Jade as she felt the small bump.

Jade then grabbed a plastic ziplock bag out of a drawer and filled it with Ice.

Jade handed the bag to Tori. "Here, that should help a bit."

Tori held the bag of ice to the back of her head. "Thanks Jade, Let's get some more beer."

Jade frowned and grabbed Tori's arm. "You're not drinking anymore tonight Vega."

"Come on Jade, I'm not that drunk. Let's have some fun."

Jade scowled. "Just how dense are you Vega? Don't you know that drinking after any kind of head injury, no matter how small, is an extremely bad idea?"

Tori, exhaled loudly. "You're right."

"Well as my first official act of someone who's held your hand, I'm officially cutting you off."

Jade opened the fridge, pulled out a can of diet coke and handed it to Tori.

Tori opened the can and grinned as she leaned against the counter. "Looks like someone is starting to care for me?"

Jade narrowed her eyes and moved directly in front of Tori, so their faces were only inches apart.

"Take that Back!" Said Jade in Mock annoyance.

Tori leaned a bit closer to the Goth. "NO!"

"I mean it Vega." Jade said in voice that sounded rather low and seductive.

"Make me" Tori said, as she leaned in just a bit closer to Jades ruby red lips.

The moment seemed to come together. All Jade could think of is Tori's lips, her mind suddenly obsessed what they would fee like. How they would taste. She closed her eyes and moved to kiss Tori.

An instant later the door burst open and very drunk Cat ran in.

"Ohh…Sink…Gotta barf.." She said as she ran past them and started to throw up in the sink.

Jade backed off with another low growl as Tori groaned.

"What Happened Cat?" Tori said as she moved to hold back Cat's hair.

"Barf…Those shots…Barf…tasted like candy…Barf…6 of them...I messed up this nice sink…I'm sorry." With that the very drunk Cat started to cry.

Jade made a fist in frustration and quickly released it.

"Come on Cat. Let's get you home. You're done for the night." Jade said tersely.

Tori instantly frowned.

Jade grabbed Tori's arm. "You're not getting away from me that easily Vega. You're coming with me. Maybe I can find a place were we won't be interrupted."

"Yeah" Tori said.

Cat drunkenly looked at the pair. "Were you two going to get it on? I'm sorry."

Jade just made a growling sound and with grabbed both Tori' and Cat's arms. "Let's Go. Tori send your sister a text telling her I'm taking you home."

On their way out then ran into Andre and Robbie.

"How are you feeling Tori?" Andre asked.

She glanced at Jade with a smile. "Much much better, thank you."

Andre gave Tori a sly look, which caused Tori to blush. "You and Jade have a good night."

Jade took Tori and Cat to her car and started to drive home. Cat passed out in the back seat as soon as she got in the car.

"Don't you even think of Puking in my car, Cat!" Jade warned the passed out red haired Girl.

Tori just took Jade's hand and smiled.

For Jade it was strange and wonderful holding the Latina's hand. Her mind jumped at what the other things would feel like. She found herself wanting to hold Tori's hand, in the moments she wasn't.

"Why does she have to be so pretty and dam wonderful." Jade thought to herself.

They drove Cat home and deposited the passed out red haired girl in her bed. But they made sure to leave a bucket next to the bed and a bottle of water on her night stand.

"Come on Vega, you and I have business to finish." Jade said in a serious tone, as she took Tori back to her Car.

"And what business may that be?" Tori said, in a playful tone.

Jade got in the car and looked at Tori. She already knew she was going to fall for her. It all just felt right. More right than her and Beck ever felt. It was still scary, but Jade knew Tori would patiently guide her every step of the way.

"Remember I said I was having doubts about my sexuality Tori."

Tori raised an eyebrow. "Yes. Are you still having any doubts?"

Jade smiled and slowly leaned over to Tori, Ever so carefully pressing her lips against the Latina's. As the lips connected, Jade's mind exploded as the sensations hit her. The sweet fragrance of Tori's perfume, the softness of Tori's lips, the fact that they tasted like Cherries.

"God Dam!" was the only thing that Jade could think.

Tori slowly began to respond and deepened the kiss. Her mind exploded as well.

"Oh my God, Jade is kissing me. I can die now." She quickly thought, as Jade pushed her tongue into her mouth.

Jade could feel her nipples harden as Tori caressed her tongue with her own. Jade suddenly realized that Beck had never managed to do that with just a kiss. It was a kiss like none other, making Beck's kisses seem like nothing. Just feeling Tori's lips move across hers, her tongue move against her tongue. Jade felt complete for the first time in her life.

After a few more minutes, Jade broke so she could come up for air.

Tori grinned, like the cat that got the canary. "So what were you saying about doubts Jade?" The Latina said coyly.

Jade felt like she had been hit by a train. Her whole being had been shaken. She paused for a moment, as her brain came back on line.

"No doubt at all Tori, I'm Gay" Jade said with a smile. "But just to be sure there is no lingering doubt, I think you should kiss me again."

Tori laughed. "My pleasure"

Well they finally kissed after 2 interruptions and things are going well. Hope you liked this chapter.
