'Saturday night' Beck thought repeatedly in his mind as he threw his basketball on the ceiling. The calender in his room, nearly popping out to remind him. Two days after the incident Beck had with Jade. No phone calls returned from Jade, no communication whatsoever. Beck furrowed his eyebrows close together as he thought of anything he could say that would make Jade that pissed she wouldn't talk to him. Him declaring his love for her wouldn't be a problem? Right? Right. He sighed under his breath as he gripped the basketball tightly, rolling over his side as he finally manages to let go of the basketball and let it fall on the ground with a loud thud. Beck wasn't use to being the chaser in the relationship, heck he wasn't even use to dating a girl that high maintenance. He was use to girls that were sweet, affectionate and shy. Not the other way around. Just the sound of her name, gives him a visual image and outlook of his current girlfriend (who by the way isn't answering his calls and texts). Her silky hair, falling in endless loops of curls that has multiple color of streaks (he secretly likes the vibrate colors she has on her). The way her lips purses in her signature smirk or snicker. Her words tumbling out of her mouth in a straightforward way as she grips on her coffee and smiles slightly at him. And her voice! Her voice is like angels singing, the way it seems so smooth and just right whether she sings or talks.
Just like that, the remembrance of her makes Beck want to get up from his room and drive to her house but he knows better. Who is he to lecture her about not answering his texts or calls? They only been dating for a week. Seven days. So how come those seven days seem like seven years? He sighs in frustration as he runs his dark chocolate hand into his unruly hair. In fact, she doesn't even know why he agreed to be her teacher in the first place. This part nearly breaks his heart, his hands entwine as one and is pulled over his neck. His two knees between his head as he curses mentally in his head a dozen times. And that's when his phone rings. His eyes widen as he springs forward, his hand desperately finding his phone on the disorganized desk as his eyes lands on his screen. Jade. His heart skips a beat for a second as he fumbles it open, his hands now sweaty as he imagines her on the other line. He breathes in and out slowly, as he clutches the phone tightly.
"Hey," Her voice. He recognizes it, and just like that he smiles.
"Jade." He whispers onto the phone, the way her name slips out of his mouth in a perfect motion. The way it fits so right on his lips. "What made you finally decide to call back?"
"I was at a family trip to Disneyland." She mutters, she tucks her hair behind her ear as she waits for his response. Her tongue clicking on the edge of her teeth. "I mean, we stayed there right after I came back from hanging out with you. It seems like my little brother finally got what he wanted. Plus I couldn't bring my phone or laptop. Father and mother's orders."
"That's nice to know you're hanging out with your family" Beck beams, he stares out the window as he closes his eyes. Relief and happiness over - flooding his system. 'So she wasn't mad at him', he decided with enough evidence to back up his thoughts.
"That's nice to know?" She repeats, raising her eyebrows as she rewinds his last words a few more times. "What's nice to know is knowing my boyfriend has already missed me." She smirking, he can feel it.
"What do you mean?" He says obliviously, hoping his words seemed true. It doesn't because once he slips those four words, she's already interrupted him with evidence.
"Oh you know, you calling me about ten times, the twenty text message you left me when I came back. The usual normal act of a lover missing his signifcant other."
"I was just worried." Beck protested, sighing softly.
"What are you my father? Anyways, don't worry about me." She pauses, looking up at her ceiling as she thinks of a possible excuse she could utter. "I'm a big girl. I can handle anything, I got my beautiful scissors I can throw at someone if they were to think of a dirty thought about me."
"Scissors?" He laughs, a laugh that makes Jade proud that she could bring that out of him.
"Yeah, scissors. The second thing I love."
"And the first?"
"Coffee."
"Coffee?"
"Are you going to repeat every word I say and end it with a question mark?" Jade scoffed, rolling her eyes slightly as she presses her cellphone closer to her ear. She purses her lips into a genuine smile as she tilts her head.
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out. We could go anywhere you want." Beck informs her, the corner of his lips forming into a lopsided smile.
"Sure. Meet me at the park near my house. We could go to the theaters and watch this show I've been craving to see." She says, her voice dripping with eager and a slight drop of happiness all in one.
"Okay, I'll meet you till then." Beck mumbled, gulping slowly as he hung up.
Looking around his room in a hurried daze, Beck walks towards his closet. His eyes scanning his clothes frantically as he wonders which one Jade would like best. As he does so, his hands themselves pushes the hanger to one side after another. Until finally, he decides to wear a plaid black and white shirt which would be also worn with his ripped white jeans. He smiled at himself as he looked at himself on the mirror. He was presentable, his hair was combed but still had that messy vibe going on. His clothes were the same as usual but was out of the 'darkened' clothing he was used to. He looked fine. Just when he was about to grab his black combat boots, a text appears on his phone. His eyes narrow slightly as he hesitantly grabs it, his face drops immediately when he sees it's Robbie.
Dude, Come over. Andre and I got some pretty wicked stuff. You'll like. :D
Beck replies quickly as possible. Typing out the following:
Can't. Meeting Jade...
In a minute or so, Andre's name appears on the screen of Beck's phone.
What's this about Robbie babbling on about you and Jade dating? I mean you're dating Jade? Jade as in Jade West? I'm getting wonky now. I didn't think you'll actually date her.
Beck presses his phone below his chin as he thinks of a way to respond back to Andre's question. He hasn't told Andre yet, heck the man would be mad at him since Robbie knew way before him. Beck would've told Andre if he had the time, it's just he just didn't have the time. His mind was all about Jade and of course the bet. He dismisses all his thoughts in his head as he glowers at the screen, his fingers pressing the buttons reluctantly.
Yes, I'm dating Jade. It just happened. She just happened. Don't get mad alright? We've only been dating for a week...Robbie figured it out since he sat with us. So, don't misunderstand. We'll talk soon.
Just when Beck finally presses the button 'send', he's already setting both of his feet onto his combat boots. Getting up from his bed, he quickly places his phone onto his back pocket. Walking downstairs with soft footsteps, he's able to be unseen by his parents (who are by the way reading a book in the living room). He smiles despite himself as he calls out 'I'm going'. Leaving the house in an instance as he gets into his car.
Jade doesn't sneer or glare at her boyfriend when she sees him walk towards her with a languid smile. She just watches as he awkwardly rubs his neck with his right hand. He's embarrassed from arriving late, she predicts. Though that doesn't stop him from sitting beside her, their bodies huddled close together as if they were one. She loves this part of him the most, the part where he loses all his confidence just because of her.
"You're late." She declares, frowning slightly as she clutches her coffee in her pale palms. She looks at him up and down and takes in his black and white plaid shirt and ripped jeans. It suits him. Beck shrugs his shoulders. He opens his mouth to say something but is quick to close it once again.
"I, err, I got a text from Andre and Robbie that kind of stopped me from getting here." He finally says, his lips parted in the middle as he lets out a sigh. His words muffled together as if they were one. Jade eyebrows are knitted close together as she makes out his words.
"Wait, I thought Andre knew?" She blinked a few times before sipping her coffee. Beck shakes his head.
"No, I assumed he would know. I mean - I'm dating the 'it' girl aren't I?" He snickers, having a coy grin on his face as he holds one of her hand.
She's taken aback for a few mere seconds before she pulls away and tosses one of her soft curls away. "It doesn't matter, right? He'll come around and if he doesn't. He's not a real friend."
Beck shrugs, shaking his head as he takes a deep breath. "Andre. He's a good guy, he'll come around. I'm sure of it." He smiles genuinely before he takes Jade's coffee away from her grasp and sets it beside him. Taking in her beautiful features before he presses both of his palms on both sides of her face, she narrows her eyes suspiciously but doesn't stop him when his face is so close to hers. Their noses practically touching as he slowly but gently kisses her. He opens his mouth slightly just so her tongue can battle with one another. Stopping short, when Beck pulls away. His breathing uneven as he lets out a nervous smile. Jade grins, pushing him slightly as she stands up. Once she does so, Beck finally takes in her clothing. Her black acid wash denim jeans flowing perfectly against her satin black fringe tank top. He slowly averts his gaze as he grabs the coffee he left beside him to hand it back to her.
"You're getting better." She admits, grinning slightly as she stares deep into his dark chocolate brown eyes. He laughs, pulling himself off the bench as he places his arm around her shoulders.
"Getting better at what?" He cooed into her ear, as her scent envelops into him. A scent that only can be passed out as strawberry mixed with a hint of vanilla. A scent that only belongs to her.
"Getting better at kissing."
"I was a awful kisser?"
"Not awful, just not great."
"I'm offended." Beck says, his voice seething with sadness and torment in an attempt to deceive her. Though, she's quick to see his acting ways as she sips her coffee once again. Shrugging her shoulders as she rolls her eyes.
"I'm just being honest, Beck." She smirks, pulling him in another quick peck on the lips before looking around the place. "Where's your car?"
"My car?" Beck asked, his eyes widening as he tries to remember where he parked it.
"Yeah, your car." She says between gritted teeth as she raises her eyebrows directly at him. He pulls his hand away from her shoulders as he digs deep into his plaid pants pockets. Finally pulling his hand up and away from his pockets, he presses the button to hear his car beep. He sighs in relief as he strolls towards it, Jade footsteps following behind him. After a few moments, they are finally in front of the car. As Beck opens the passenger door, he blinks a few times before he finally snaps out of his thoughts and sits himself onto the driver seat.
After a half of an hour, they finally arrive in the theaters. Their outfit seemed to match the setting. Jade grinned evilly as she took in the dark place. She crosses her arms, as she breathes in the scent. It's been awhile since she hung out in the theater with a guy. Heck it's been almost forever. The last time she's been with a guy in the theater was with her blind date. The one whom her mother set her up with. It was horrible. A tragedy. Ending with Jade dropping a cup of hot caffeinated soda onto the boy's head. Jade averts her gaze away from the different sorts of signs to stare at her boyfriend. Who was now walking towards the food court and ordering two large cup of popcorn and soda (they don't sell coffee, much to Jade's disappointment). Before she knows it, he's back. A huge silly lopsided grin on his face as he kisses Jade's cheek. Her pink voluminous lips setting into a wide smile. Beck's stops breathing at that moment when she does that.
"Let's go?" She finally asked, grabbing her share of the popcorn and soda as they both headed to the room that they were suppose to. Though, Beck is quick to stop midway when he sees them. Robbie and Andre.
"Isn't that your friends?" He hears Jade say, her eyebrows rising in sync as she nudges her boyfriend. Who nods his head despite not listening. Why are they hear? He asked himself as he sighs. Andre and Robbie looking up from their iPear's as they continue to laugh. And in that mere second, they stare at each other. Andre gulping hard as he watches his best friend dating her for the wrong reasons. He needs to stop this so she doesn't end up getting hurt. He walks up with hesitation towards Beck, pausing before finally opening his mouth.
"Does she know?" Andre mumbles, his eyes is staring down at the floor when he says this. Robbie raises his glasses closer to his eyes.
"What do I know?" She replies, her voice slightly shaking as she glares at Andre and back at Beck.
"Nothing." Beck finally manages to stutter out. He can't believe that his friend would do this to him. Why is he doing this? He repeatedly asked in his head as he stares at Jade who purses her lips closely together.
"Beck." She shouts, her patience running thin as she feels the air turning musky. If it weren't for the popcorn and the soda she was holding, she would be literally strangling her boyfriend and demand what he hasn't been telling her. Though, she can't. She couldn't.
"It's nothing." He repeats, his voice no longer shaking but is now confident and loud. "Right, Andre?"
"Beck - " Andre says, his hands reaching out for his best friend but knowing what he's not telling her was wrong. Heck, everything was wrong at this second.
"Andre was just wondering if you knew that he knew about our relationship." Beck says to Jade, sweat dripping down his face in small tiny beads of liquid. He's lying. He gulps slowly and softly so she doesn't see any signs of hesitation from him. He detaches his eyes away from Andre to see her staring at him. Looking for any sign of him lying but finding none, hoping that was the truth. She nods her head and motions him to go into the room where they were assigned to go to. Beck escorts her with a slight smile. Leaving Andre and Robbie to stare in utter shock.
