Cat stands there and looks at us while holding her purple giraffe stuff animal. "Mr. Purple saw everything."
I feel myself blush and a quick glance at Jade reveals that she can blush after all. Jade quickly fixes her composure.
"And what's that beautiful?" Cat glances away, and then nervously coughs.
Jade raises an eyebrow and I slowly calm myself down, at least enough to stop my absurd blushing. "Well, cat. We're waiting you know." Jade carefully encourages.
Cat coughs again. "Okay. I know what you two were doing. And I'm okay if you guys are together and all, but I was wondering why you didn't just tell me and instead you let Mr. Purple see it and all."
"I'm sorry Cat." Jade says smoothly and hugs her.
"Yeah Cat, we're sorry. We just didn't think you would understand you know..."
She smiles and nods. "Also, Cat?" I ask. "Yeah?" she answers.
You're not going to say anything to anyone, right? I ask her.
"Okay, I won't." She smiles again but she clutches Mr. Purple closer.
"Promise?" Jade adds a little too fiercely.
"I promise Jade and Tori. OH! I'm gonna call you Jori for short, okay?" she says holding out her pinkie in which Jade locks her pinkie with. Then I lock my pinkie with Cat's.
Jade sighs. "Fine. Just don't let anyone know about Tori and I okay?"
"I can manage that." Cat exclaims happily. "Oh, I forgot to tell you guys. I'm inviting a couple more girls over. You won't know them, but I thought they were nice. Plus they said they love parties and they won't break anything."
I meet Jade's eye. "Oh god." Jade nods at me as Cat continues. Suddenly the doorbell rings.
"OOOOOH! THEY'RE HERE!" Cat squeals and dashes out of the room and all the way to the front door.
Jade just shakes her head. "Oh god. Hopefully she didn't invite those guys from her birthday party over again."
"Oh yeah, I hate those guys. All they did was hit on us." I say as I follow Jade to the front door.
