There are a few time jumps in this chapter. I'm trying to speed up the time a bit to get closer to Tori's first year of college ending.

Over the next few weeks, Tori and Jade have gotten closer. Monday through Friday evening were dedicated to work, and in Tori's case, classes. Friday nights were dedicated to Tori making sure her school work is taken care of, and Saturdays and Sundays were for playing with Blake, Jade doing last minute things for Bee, and Tori finishing her work.
Once, the Saturday after everyone was over, Tori and Jade again went on a date, Kelly again watching Blake.
Instead of going to dinner and a dance club like last time, Jade treated Tori to a move and picnic on the beach.
Jade again warned Tori about not calling her soft or whipped, since it was Tori's idea to do a beach picnic.
After the date, Tori and Jade were busy with school and work respectively. Tori had to start studying for tests, and Jade was writing more and more because Bee asked her to put up a new work to be checked out for potential Broadway potential.
Over the next month or so, Tori starts to prepare for finals, as Jade finishes her play for Bee, who sends it out to a close friend and business colleague in New York.
After the work of both girls has calmed down for the moment, they decide on another date. This time, instead of a Friday or Saturday date it's on Sunday, they go to a movie, going to see a new Disney movie that seemed to catch Blake's attention from the commercials, instead of the more adult movie they did last time. After that, they returned to the apartment, eating a homemade dinner Tori prepared before they left, risking a glass of wine each as Blake drinks from a bottle of breast milk prepared earlier that day. The formula bottles in need of washing, with Tori accusing Jade of emptying the bottles so there was only breast milk.
"Dinner was amazing, Tori." Jade says as she stands up to grab Tori's and her's plates and glasses, heading towards the kitchen.
"Thank you. The wine was fantastic." Tori states, standing up and picking up Blake. "Where'd the bottle come from?" She asks, picking up Blake's plate and the napkins she and Jade used to throw them away.
"Bee gave it to me." Jade says, washing the plates and cups, the silverware still in the tub soaking. "She figured out first anniversary of sorts should have something good to drink." She says, putting a plate in the dish drainer.
"She just gave you a bottle of wine?" Tori asks, stunned, as she puts Blake's plate and the plastic fork she used to feed him in the tub to soak.
"Yep. She's an awesome boss. She told me you deserved it after what you've been through since graduation to your ex, and it's the least she could do." Jade says, washing Blake's plate.
"How did she know about the...assault?" Tori asks, hesitant for the answer.
"She has high connections. She remembered the story in the paper, and made the connection to you being the one from the story. She cashed in a favor with a lawyer friend to find out your name. She asked me about it and I verified it." Jade answers, the wine glass she was washing in hand, the hot water spraying against the glass.
"I'm not mad." Tori says, knowing what Jade was thinking. "Is that why she sent me some clothes for Blake a couple days ago?" She asks, curious.
"Probably. She knows we're being careful with money, and I guess she wanted Blake to have some nice clothes." Jade says, continuing the dishes.
"She also bought me something." Tori says hesitant, leaning against the kitchen counter with Blake in her arms.
"What? Please tell me it's a strap-on?" Jade says, grabbing the silverware to wash them as she glances at Tori.
"No. Not a strap-on." Tori says, blushing. "She bought me a fancy dress. I got it the same day as Blake's clothes."
"Wait. She got you a dress too?" Jade asks, the fork in her hand dropping into the sink.
"What do you mean, too?" Tori asks, staring at Jade as the former Goth picks up the fork to wash it.
"Earlier in the week, about two days before Blake's clothes came in, she sent me to the dry cleaners to pick up a dress. When I handed it to her after returning, she told me to keep it. She had it, and your dress apparently, made special." Jade states, finishing the dishes and shutting off the water, drying her hands.
"She did what now?" Tori asks, stunned.
"She's spoiling us, apparently." Jade says, facing Tori fully. "There is a reason for the dressed though. There's a party next Saturday at her mansion. The dresses are for the party. There's a suit for Blake." She says, heading out of the kitchen. "It should have been in with the others."
"Oh. I didn't empty the box yet." Tori says, following Jade out into the living room. "I just put it in the closet for now, since we don't really have room in his dressers or ours for them." She says, sitting beside Jade on the couch.
"We shouldn't let Bee know we don't have room. I can almost promise you she'll buy us a dresser." Jade jokes, leaning her head against Tori's shoulder. "He asleep yet?" She asks quietly, eyes closed.
"Why?" Tori asks, curious.
"We need to shower. And why waste water by showering at separate times? Let's save water by showering together." Jade says, opening her eyes to send Tori a puppy dog pout.
"Are you ever not horny?" Tori asks, faux glaring at Jade.
"Of course." Jade says, standing up. "When I'm asleep, when I'm not around you."
"Why do I get the feeling there's something you're not telling me?" Tori asks as she stands up, being careful with Blake.
"Of course there is." Jade says with a smile, leading Tori to the half-Latina's room to put Blake to sleep. "I just don't think I should say it around Blake though." She adds with a smirk.
Sorry it's so short. This was just a filler chapter.
Blessed Be.
