Trina was amazed to hear her parents were planning on going to some kind of couple's retreat. Her father had made reservations, and they'd be leaving in a couple of weeks to work on their marriage. Trina hadn't realized anything was wrong with her parents marriage, and was worried that her family was in danger of falling apart. Also, the once narcissistic girl was worried that this was somehow her fault.
She tried to get past it as she drove her sister to school. "So," She started, kinda nervous, "how long have mom and dad been having problems?"
"Couple of months." Tori replied. "For a while, I was worried that mom was having something with dad's partner, Gary."
"And?" The older girl asked. "You can't just say something like that then leave me hanging."
"And I don't know." Tori replied. "I mean, they're going to work on their relationship. That's good, right?" She asked, her eyes begging for her sister to assure her that everything was going to work out.
"Maybe." Trina said. "It depends."
"On?" Tori wasn't going to let it go.
"I'd imagine it would depend on how hurt they feel, on who did what, and if they can forgive each other, and themselves." Trina speculated. "Trust me, baby girl, you're the one good thing that's happened to this family."
"Trina!" Tori said, her voice stern. "It's not your fault either. If anything, you're getting better. That should help the family."
"So, have you had a chance to work on my song yet?" Trina asked Tori.
"Don't change the subject." The younger girl warned her sister.
"Not changing it, just want to know." Trina said. "Have you had a chance to start the song?"
"Nope." Tori said.
"Why not?" Trina asked, innocently enough. That's when the stress damn burst.
"Opening night is only a couple of days away, and Jade's entire family will be there." The younger girl snapped. "A family, I might add, that I haven't met all of yet. There are still important people who might not like her dating me, her brother at the top of that list. And on top of that, I've got rehearsals, wardrobe, my regular classes, and Mason is pressuring me to come in and work on my demo. I just don't have the time."
"I like the intensity, write about that." Trina said, smiling. There was a time when she'd have meant it, but recent events had changed her. Part of the change was she felt more secure in herself, so was free to be the caring big sister she often forgot to be in the past.
"TRINA!" Tori screamed.
"Relax, it's a joke." The older girl said. "You're allowed to laugh, you know."
"Look, maybe once I'm done with the play, dealt with Jade's family, and got another song done for Mason, I'll have the time to write you something." The youngest Vega said. "Until then, I'm sorry."
"It's fine." Trina said. "I'll probably just do a cover of an existing song. I need to get started soon, if I'm going to be ready before mom and dad head out for their retreat."
"Oh, right." Tori said, sounding sad. "Sorry. I really wanted to help you with that one."
"Yea, but maybe your spare time, what you have, should be spent with Jade." Trina assured her sister. "I'll talk to Andre, get something ready for my big debut."
"Yea, you do that." Tori said.
"Tori, seriously, don't beat yourself up over this. I have a lot of people who can help me." Trina assured her sister.
"It's not that." Tori said. "Not exactly."
"Then what?" Trina asked.
"I'm not sure if I deserve to grope Jade." Tori admitted.
Trina's laughter lasted the entire drive to school.
Once they arrived, Trina took Tori aside for a second to give a quick but of advice. "I know part of what you're stressing about is 'How will the whole sex thing work with Jade.'" Trina said. "Just relax about it. You're stressing yourself out when you need to just let things go and flow with it. You can use the success of the play, and your own success, as a bridge to get closer to her."
"And if the sex doesn't work?" Tori asked.
"Then you're not doing it right." Trina assured her. "Cause, little sister, I'm seriously afraid you'll cum in your pants the first time Jade lets you grope her."
"Trina!" Tori whisper yelled. "That's horrible."
"And true." The older girl said. "Regardless, your seriously into her. And Jade, she's into you. Just go at her pace, so there's no resentment. Okay?"
"When mom and dad are on this trip, I'm inviting her over." Tori said.
"Of course, ignoring me works too." The older girl said. "I've got to take care of something...see ya."
Trina walked away, oddly feeling better for talking to her sister. Somehow giving advice had helped her work through a lot of her feelings of stress over her families problems. 'it's a good thing, them working on their problems. It's a good sign.' She told herself.
Trina found Jade during lunch. The writer was sitting in the black Box theater, watching the rehearsal of her play. Moving quietly, Trina sat down next to her. "So?' she asked.
"I told Tori, she didn't get to feel me up until after rehearsal." Jade deadpanned.
"Not what I was going to ask." The older girl said.
"Sorry." Jade replied. "So what can I do for you?"
"You wouldn't happen to have a song lying around, would you?" Trina asked.
"Lyrics, yes, but you'd need a melody." The writer said.
"I can work with that." Trina replied, excited. "Tori won't have the chance to help until Saturday at the earliest, and Andre told me it can take a long time to write anything. So maybe this will help?"
"Don't rely on Andre, ask around. Maybe someone has a cool melody, probably rock, that would go with the lyrics." Jade advised.
"Thank you so much." The older girl said. "Now about your impending... Encounter with my sister. Don't do it out of guilt."
"All I was going to do was let her squeeze my tit." Jade said.
"This is a huge moment, and you know it." Trina reminded her. "Tori and you are moving forward on the road to making love."
"I knew your sister would use that phrase, but you?" Jade said, eyebrow raised.
"That's right, you wouldn't know the difference." Trina smirked. "I guess you'll find out. But not too soon. Let yourself ease into this."
"I am." Jade said. "It's time. I've strung her along long enough, and it's just a little under the bra action. Not that much."
"First, don't skip the over the bra parts." Trina said. "And second, Tori and you are both probably worried that the sex won't work. This will let you know it will."
"I know it will." Jade said. "I've done my research."
"Research?" Trina asked.
"Porn." Jade replied. "And yes, I know it's not as real as they'd have you believe, but it helped me see that I am attracted to the female form, and I was able to get a book on girl-girl sex." She looked at Trina. "I'm ready."
"Emotionally?" The older Vega asked.
Jade's silence told Trina everything she needed to know. "Tori wants you, but she wants all of you. Don't give yourself away trying to give her what you hope she wants. If you're ready, then trust me, it will happen." Jade nodded, but had to focus on the current act. There was something off, and she needed to fix it.
After school, Tori caught up with Jade before the next rehearsal, walking her into the Black Box theaters office. The Latina was visibly nervous, shifting from foot to foot as she moved closer to her girlfriend. "So, Jade, it's after rehearsal. Well, the lunch rehearsal..." She let her voice drop.
"Anxious, aren't we?" Jade asked.
"Well, this is a big deal. I mean, you're willingly letting me touch your boob." Tori said. "It's movement in out relationship, and I just want to make sure I do it right."
"Cup, squeeze gently." Jade informed her. "It's not that hard."
"Not now, but I'm hoping." Tori joked.
"Okay, Vega, calm the fuck down. This is natural." Jade threw her hands up, clearly frustrated. "I don't see why everyone is making such a big deal out of it?"
"You're not ready." Tori said, sounding deflated.
"It's not that." Jade said quickly. 'It's just, I'm not ready for things to progress too far. If it's just a little groping, feeling my tits, I'm ready. But for more, for sex, or making love, or whatever we wind up doing, I think I'd rather wait until after you meet my brother."
"So he can watch?" Tori asked. The Latina was confused, until she realized Jade didn't intend for her brother to witness anything.
"Perv much?' Jade asked. "No, it's just, you're under so much stress right now, and my life is changing. I just felt that maybe we should wait until things calm down a little bit."
"This is high school, and we're all trying to be performers. If we wait too long, we never get anywhere." Tori snapped.
"See?" Jade said, smiling.
"Okay, we can wait, and if this starts to get too hot, we'll just remind ourselves that Sinjin is out there, and could walk in at any moment." Tori said. "And if that thought is making you hot, I'd remind you that Sinjin would see you naked."
"Trust me, I'm not sure I'll ever get excited again." Jade said.
"Shall we?" Tori asked.
"Choose your boob." Jade said. Tori stepped in, putting a hand around Jade, and pulling her in for a deep kiss. As she did that, her other hand slid up along the outside of Jade's shirt, until she was cupping Jade's breast. Tori deepened the kiss as she gently squeezed. Jade moaned into her mouth, and for the first time both were aware of how far this one act could go. The broke the kiss before either would need new underwear.
"Okay..." Jade said. "That was..."
"You do me." Tori said, so quickly Jade had to take a moment to process.
'Do her?' Jade thought. Her brain somehow managed to push through her rapidly clouding thoughts. 'The couch in here is pretty uncomfortable.' She mused. "Do?"
"I got a feel, so you get one too." Tori explained. Then it hit her. 'Oh my chiz, what did I...Oh god.' Tori realized what she'd implied.
"Okay, no big." Jade reached for Tori, but froze. "Um, cup then squeeze, right?"
"Would you be more comfortable squeezing my ass?" Tori asked.
"How do guys do this?" Jade asked.
"You don't want to..?" Tori started.
"I don't want to mess this up." Jade replied. "What you did..."
"Yea." Tori smirked. "So just do it all ready."
Jade reached around Tori, pulling her in for a kiss, and as they hugged, she slid one hand down to Tori's rear and gave a quick squeeze. "Harder." Tori moaned. Jade complied, but then released her girlfriend. "Jade, you're sweating."
"I... I think I'm thinking about this too much." Jade said in a shaky voice. "Well, it's done now, so we don't have to be so nervous in the future."
"You're just lucky Sinjin's out there." Tori said. "Look, I have to get to rehearsal. How about we pick this up again later?"
"After you debut on Friday. I don't need you distracted." Jade said.
"Friday." Tori repeated.
After Jade walked out, Tori grabbed her phone and called Andre. "Whats up Chika?" He asked.
"Not to be blunt, but how do you guys get past the drama and squeeze a girls assets?" Tori asked.
"Normally not the kind of question I'd answer, but considering..." She could hear his smile in his voice. "After we get past the nerves, we just do it. Someone has to take a risk. Besides, you kinda love the way things feel."
"Thanks." Tori said. 'So most guys can grope because they're pigs.' She concluded. 'But now, at least, we're moving forward.
Tori's smile was blinding, and she couldn't stop throughout the whole performance.

A whole lot about that one moment. Makes it feel kinda important, doesn't it?
