Well hello there, it's been months since my last update. I know you all probably thought that this story would never get updated ever again and I'm sorry for that. I guess I lost some motivation and lacked inspiration. I was stuck with where I want to take this story, still kind of am but I'm working on it. I hope I didn't disappoint with chapter. For those of you that have been following this story, I went back and deleted those annoying author notes I posted that took up chapter slots.
Let me know what you guys think
I got to say, yesterday was a fun time with everyone. It was weird at first not having Jade there to put her two senses into what movie to watch or hear Beck and her bicker. I guess we've all been so used to that being the norm. It was Sunday now and of course rain decided to ruin a perfectly good day. I don't mind the rain much, but Cat and I were planning on going to the beach. Now I'm stuck inside while it's pouring outside. I was sitting on the couch lounging and just roaming the internet while Trina was busy making a lot of noise in the kitchen.
"Trina, must you make so much noise?" I called over.
"Well someone decided to put all the bowls on the top shelf of the cabinet and I need one." She said making more noise. I got up, putting my laptop down and walked over to the kitchen to watch exactly what she was doing. I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. She moved everything off of one counter and onto the island and was now attempting to climb on top of the counter in heels. I walked over to the sink and saw that there was a freshly washed perfectly good bowl.
"Trina, you know there's a perfectly good bowl in the sink right?" I said holding up the bowl in her direction. She looked over and scoffed.
"It's not big enough." I thought it was a decent size bowl. I saw her grab the popcorn bowl out and climb back down. "Now this is a good bowl." She placed it on the table and went to grab a few things out of the fridge.
"So you want to explain to me why you need such a big bowl?" I watched her pour the rest of the mayo we had left into the bowl and was that honey she was putting into it? Great now what am I going to put in my sandwiches and tea now?
"Fine, if you must know I'm making myself even more beautiful. I read online that if you mix mayo and honey together, it'll make a mask that will get rid of all the dead skin on your face. And I need to look my best in school this week, so if you don't mind I would like to dip my head in the bowl in peace." She said before putting her head into the bowl.
"But what about all the stuff you moved around? You're going to put it back right?" I asked and only received a muffled grunt and a hand waving me to go away. I sighed and walked back to the living room and opening my laptop. I continued browsing the web for a few more minutes before I heard the doorbell ring. I looked over at Trina who paid no attention to it. "I guess I'll get it." I put the laptop down and opened the door.
"Beck?" I was surprised to see him standing in my doorway. He was leaning against the doorframe dripping from the amount of rain outside. "Come in, your soaking wet!"
"BECK?!" Trina shot right out of her seat once she saw that Beck was in the house and tried her best to wipe her face off, failing miserably. "I'll be right back, don't go anywhere!" She ran up the stairs. Shaking my head at Trina's antics, I focused my attention back to Beck. He was creating a puddle on the floor.
"Let me get you a towel." I jogged over to our downstairs bathroom and grabbed the towel off the rack. "Here!" I threw it over to him and he caught it.
"Thanks Tor," he said shaking his hair in the towel to dry it.
"Mind telling me why you were standing in my doorway in the pouring rain?" I walked back over to the couch. He smirked a little and tried his best to take off his boots without slipping in the man-made pudding beneath his feet.
"Well..Stella broke down on my way home and I noticed I was only a block or two away from your house. There was no way I could try and fix her in the rain, so I figured I stop by here and wait until the rain settled." He managed to dry off what he could off of him while saying this but he still looked soaked. I gave him a small smile. "Here, give me your jacket and shirt. I can pop them into the drier so you don't have to stay in wet clothes. I think my dad has a pair of sweat pants you can borrow too so we can dry your jeans." I reached my arm out waiting for him to give me his wet clothes.
"That's okay Tori you don't have to." He was trying to clean the puddle up now.
"Now see here Beckette, you're going to get sick if you stay in those clothes and I will not let that happen. Give them to me" I said sternly. He looked at me with an amused look on his face. "I'm not kidding Beck, give them here."
"Fine you win Miss Vega." He threw up his hands in defeat before removing his jacket, handing it to me. Next he attempted to remove his shirt but his wife beater was stuck to it causing his stomach to show. I couldn't help but stare at his abs and the V that formed right at the top of his jeans leading to his…um wait woah! Hold on I should not be staring at those things. Get a hold of yourself Tori, he's one of your best friends…who just so happen to have a great body.
"Tori, you think you can help me?" Huh? I looked back up to where Beck's face was covered by his shirt. "I'm kind of stuck. If you could just grab the tank top underneath and pull it down." I took a small gulp. Just relax Tori, I'm sure he didn't even see you oogling at his body. How could he if his face was covered by his shirt? Right?
"Um..Sure" I said grabbing the tank really quickly and pulling it down. He managed to get the shirt off with no problem after.
"Thanks, here you go Madame." Handing me the shirt as well, smiling. Focus Tori.
"Why don't you go to the bathroom, I'll go grab a pair of my dad's sweatpants for you and leave them by the door. Just bring your jeans to the laundry room when you're done so I can put it in the drier."
"Sure thing" He made his way to the bathroom and closed the door. I ran upstairs at this point and quickly grabbed a pair of my dad's old college sweat pants. I came back down and walked towards the bathroom. I knocked and told Beck that there hanging on the door knob. He thanked me again before I made way through the kitchen and into the door that led to the laundry room/workout area/garage. I just finished putting the clothes in the drier when he walked in with his jeans and handed them to me.
"Thank you." I added them to the drier and turned it on. "You will have dry clothes within the hour."
"Thanks again Tori." He smiled his signature smile. It's one that normally shouldn't have an effect on me but currently is making my stomach flutter like crazy. What is going on?
"Don't mention it. So what do you want to do? Want to watch a movie?"
"Sure." We made our way back into the kitchen. He questioned all the stuff on the island and the bowl left on the table by Trina. Who I just realized is taking a while to get that gook off her face. I merely told him he didn't want to know and we made a bowl of popcorn and put it in the bowl I originally found in the sink. The perfectly good size one. Beck poured two glassed of lemonade and we made our way on the couch. "So Victoria, what movie should we watch?" He asked plopping down onto the couch while I sat next to him with the remote.
"First off, only my Great Aunt Sue calls me Victoria anymore. Secondly, I'm not sure. What about we keep it classy with a Disney movie?"
"Works for me, what do you got?" He grabbed a handful of popcorn as I started flipping through the movies we had set onto our TV. I flipped through The Little Mermaid, Lion King, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast…
"Oh how about Aladdin?" I saw it pop up on the screen. "You know, you kind of look like him." I laughed and I could hear him chuckle.
"Is it the hair?" He ran his fingers through his hair smiling, making me laugh some more.
"Of course, so what do you think?"
"Aladdin works for me." He said picking up his glass of lemonade. I clicked play and we watched as the signature Disney castle logo popped up onto the screen. We spent a good amount of time into the movie laughing and talking. We made comments about Aladdin's hair, and also both agreed that Robin William's is brilliant voice actor. During the part where Genie helped Aladdin from drowning I felt myself grow sleepy. I tried to force my eyes to stay open but saw the darkness creep its way in.
"Okay I'm ready for you Beck!" I heard a voice yell out. I strained opening my eyes, they were a little blurry and I rubbed them to try and see who woke me up. I twisted my head around a little and saw Trina standing on the stairs posing. It seems that she decide to not only wash her face off, but also shower and curl her hair and make herself decent. But why was she ready for Beck? He wasn't here…I looked down and realized there was an arm across my stomach. I followed the arm to find out whose face it was and noticed a head full of hair. It took me a second to realize that it was Beck whose arm was around me. It also took me a second to realize that we both must have fallen asleep cause the main menu to Aladdin was playing over and over again.
"Beckkkkkkk. Where are you?" Trina called out. This time I felt his hand stir and sleepily called out to her. "Five more minutes" I felt his body move a little trying to get comfortable, he tried for a few more seconds before I saw his body bolt up and look me in the eye. "Huh? Where am I?" His eyes flashed across the living room, to Trina and then directly towards me again, "Tori?" I couldn't help but giggle. He looked so cute with his hair sticking up out of place and….Wait! Did I just say he looked cute? Well I mean it's not like he isn't cute or attractive or you know good looking. He was all those things and I..
"Tori?" I heard him say again pulling me away from my inner thoughts.
"Hello sleepy head. It looks like we fell asleep during the movie." I said trying to adjust myself better on the couch.
"Oh, you're right." He said taking a hand to his hair to fix it back to normal. He quickly looked down at where his other hand was and we both noticed it was still across my stomach. "Sorry" He pulled away, not making eye contact with me, I frowned a little when I felt the warmth of his hand go away. I felt my cheeks go a little pink at the moment. We both stood up trying to adjust the way we looked. I saw Trina still standing on the stairs eyeing us. I paid no attention to her.
"Looks like the rain stopped." He said walking over to the window looking outside. I followed behind and noticed it was sunny out now. "I better get my clothes and see if I can fix my truck before the rain starts up again." I nodded in agreement as I made my way to the laundry room to check on his now dried clothes. As I was walking I overheard Trina say, "So I wasted all this time to look this good and you're just going to leave?" I couldn't help roll my eyes. I grabbed his clothes and made my way back to the living room, sparing him for any more torture Trina would give him. He went to change and came back looking like his old self again.
"Ah there's the normal looking Beck." I laughed.
"You know I do wear sweatpants once and a while." He smirked handing me my dad's sweatpants. I noticed Trina wasn't in the room and must of gone back upstairs to have a hissy fit.
"I know that silly, but it's still weir seeing you not in your Beck outfit."
"I have a Beck Outfit?" He raised an eyebrow amused.
"You know what I mean." I smacked his arm playfully. We both started laughing for a few minutes and when it died down he looked at me. "Well Miss Vega, this was fun. We should do this again sometime."
"Yes definitely. I mean who doesn't like watching Aladdin and falling asleep during half of it?" I joked along. "Well regardless, it was still nice." He said smiling, causing me to smile as well. "And as nice as it was, I really should head out. Thanks again Tori." He hugged me really quick before walking out the door. "See you at school tomorrow!" He waved from the sidewalk. I waved back and said goodbye before shutting the door. I walked back over to the couch and couldn't help but smile. Today wasn't such a bad day after all.
Well there you go. I will try and update when I can and I promise it won't be months from now. Please let me know what you guys think and any suggestions you guys have I'm open to.
