Robbie was having a hard time not smiling so wide his head would slit open and the top fall off. Jade's family, the one's from the dojo, they were a kinda tight nit but accepting group. So far, he'd talked to three of them who'd worked with stunt people or otherwise been tangentially attached to movies. Their stories were interesting. They didn't have any stories about meeting big celebrities, but still the stories were interesting.
"So, how hard do you think it would be to get into the industry?" He asked.
"Harder then it used to be." The guy he was talking to said. "Back in the day, you joined the union, and it was easy enough to get hired as a camera operator for some low budget flick. Make good money, get experience, that kind of shit. But now, everyone who can is filming over seas, where they don't pay union prices for the crew. But there are always ways, I suppose. Ever consider becoming a stuntman? I know people, and we could find you work."
"Not that tough." The nerdy boy replied. "But I do appreciate the offer. Now, about learning to fight, that could be useful. Just as long as Jade isn't the one teaching me."
"No worries, but from what I'm hearing, she's developing in that area too." The guy said. They talked for as bit more, each enjoying what the other brought to the conversation. Robbie, for his part, improvised a few jokes to keep things light. He'd been changing due to the stuff Cat had him doing, as well as the friendship he was sharing with Tori.
That friendship was why he was watching said Latina like a hawk. He'd learned enough during his time spying on her and Jade to know what tonight was. Tonight was the night where Tori tried to seduce the black belt. They'd been together for some time now, they had a play out, and Jade was enjoying a high like he'd rarely seen the girl in. Tori may not need to confirm her desires, but she wants to be sure Jade will respond to her sexually, and the singer wouldn't trust anything less then total intimacy. Pity that for most teens, that meant sex.
"How do you know Jade again?" He asked.
"I'm kinda her step uncle." The guy said. "Kevin." He introduced himself.
"Robbie." Robbie replied. "You're okay with the whole Tori Jade dynamic, right?"
"We've been dying to see her happy for months. You know about the whole Shelby Marx indecent, right?" Kevin asked.
"I'm caught up." Robbie assured him. "The reason I'm asking is, Jade's been kinda off on something, and I'm worried about how it's going to affect her."
"Go on." The Sensei urged.
"Jade and Tori have known each other years, and they've been slowly getting closer, but is Jade ready for what comes next? She's only, to my knowledge, had one lover." Robbie added quickly "I'm sorry, this is probably an inappropriate topic. I shouldn't have asked."
"I understand." Kevin said, his voice more sober. "Excuse me, my brother and I need to talk about something."
Robbie wasn't expecting that response, but wasn't surprised either. The spy in him was on alert. So he entered another conversation, but tangentially, so he could listen in to Richard West talk to his step brother, or someone as close to it as anyone.
"So Richie, got a minute?" Kevin asked.
"What?" The West patriarch almost snapped.
"I just found out that Tori and Jade might be..." Kevin found it hard to find the words.
"Sex does make it real, doesn't it?" Richard asked. "Yea, I'm aware of how close they've gotten. Talked to Tori's father about it earlier. Thing is, it's not our business."
"Do you think Jade's ready?" Kevin asked. "I mean, I'm okay with her being gay, but sex, after such a short time? She doesn't seem ready."
Richard let out an annoyed breath. "She's going to have to face her fears, sooner or later."
"Fears?" Kevin asked. "What...?"
"From what Tori's sister told me, Jade may be afraid she's not really into Tori, and is afraid of losing what they have." Richard said. "I believe that. She's always been week that way. Needy like her mother. But the thing is, putting this off doesn't help either of them. So, if it happens, I'll be happy. Not cause she got laid, but because she'll see that what she's feeling is real."
"How do you know?" Kevin asked. "I mean, you're not the most empathic person."
"I know because Jade wouldn't be in this relationship in the first place if she didn't have those kinds of feelings." Richard informed his 'Brother.' "Jade's many things, but she wouldn't get involved with someone she otherwise couldn't be with out of fear of being alone." He slapped his brother on the arm and added "So be happy, cause tonight my little girl becomes a man."
Robbie groaned at that joke, and made his way to Cat. Quickly, he informed the redhead of what he'd overheard. Cat just rolled her eyes.
"Jade's dad is so wrong." Cat told Robbie. "Tori's going to be the man tonight." Robbie stared at her, trying to estimate how much she knew before his report. "Trina's thinking tonight's the night, and I suspect Tori's parents agree. No one is encouraging it, not to their faces, but the general consensus is tonight's the night."
"And you approve?" Robbie asked.
"I think what Jade's done is admirable, but that lingering fear, it's going to have to be answered sooner or later." Cat told him. 'Either tonight going to be a complete triumph, or we will be hearing about it tomorrow."
"Excuse me." Andy said. "Name's Andy, think we've met once. Just wanted to say, this conversations been freaking me out. I think Jade should have her night tonight, and they can go about the loving tomorrow night. Give Jade some separation. Besides, she has class in the morning, and I don't want her worn out."
"What kind of teacher is Jade, anyways?" Robbie asked. The conversation would progress from there.
Jade walked Tori to her door. "I'd love it if you'd come in with me, maybe spend some more time together." She said.
"Tori, it's late, and I have a class in the morning." Jade wasn't trying to be rude, she was just spent. "Can it wait until after class?"
"It could, but I don't want it to." Tori said, pouting. "Jade, I waited patiently for your play to open, worked hard for this day. I want to show you that we fit, that we work together."
"I know, babe." Jade replied. "If I had anything left, I'd give it to you. Honestly, this day was so draining. I may need help getting to bed."
"I'll take it!" Tori asserted, suddenly full of energy. "Just let me get my overnight bag, and we can get you ready for bed."
"Tori, I..." Jade tried, but the singer was reaching inside, grabbing an overnight bag and making for Jade's car. 'She planned this!' Jade realized as she watched her girlfriend open the car door and toss her bag in.
"Jade, you up for the drive. I have a learners permit, but that requires a driver over eighteen. But if you're too spent, I suppose we can fudge it." Tori called to her, seemingly getting impatient.
"I don't believe this." Jade muttered. Then, more clearly, she said "Okay, Tori, you can help, but no funny business. I'm tired, and I'll need to get to sleep as soon as I can."
The whole drive to Jade's place, Tori was humming. She seemed happy, almost too happy. The glances she was giving Jade had a predatory, hungry feel to them. Jade worried that tonight would be the wrong kind of turning point for their relationship.
However, once Jade parked, Tori was fairly subdued. "Jade, why don't I lock up while you head to your room. I'll be up in a moment to help out." Tori told her. The Latina took her time down stairs, and when she came up, had a cup of something in her hand. "Jade, I made you some Belgian Coco. Try it, it's good."
"Thanks." Jade said, The goth was partially undressed, in her robe, trying to move towards the bathroom. She drank the coco, enjoying the flavor and it's warmth. "I'd better go brush my teeth." She announced.
Jade walked into the bathroom, and found Tori standing behind her. "Don't mind me, I'll just get you out of that makeup while you brush." Tori proceeded to remove makeup as Jade tried to do the other parts of her nightly routine while her face was being rubbed. It was a strange tangle of limbs, one that almost felt crowded. But they got done quickly, with Tori smiling every second.
"Do you sleep in that?" Tori asked.
"I have something to sleep in." Jade assured her. "I just needed to get the makeup off before I finished changing."
"Let me help." Tori insisted.
"Help?" the goth asked.
"Yep, I'm here to help." Tori informed her. "Do you sleep in that bra, or do we get you changed."
"You're not taking off my bra." Jade stated.
"Okay, just trying to help. I'll be here if you need me." Tori said, her hands up in surrendered.
"You're going to watch me, aren't you?" Jade asked.
"Not if you don't want me too, but it's not like I haven't seen it all before." Tori said, using her best mom voice.
"Just not in these proportions." Jade replied.
"Come on, just a quick peek." Tori begged. "I'll let you see mine."
"That's what I'm afraid of." Jade said, her fight slipping away. "I'm too tired to do anything right now."
"Not even cuddle?" Tori asked. "All I want is to see the goods, then cuddle. Maybe some light groping, but we've done that before."
"Turn around." Jade insisted. Tori complied, and Jade changed faster then she'd have thought she could. "You can look now." she said. "I'm going to bed. You can join me, but I need sleep."
Tori smiled, and proceeded to change right in front of Jade. While the lower body was only seen in flashed, Tori took her time with the top of her sleepwear, and Jade got an eyeful. Once she was changed, Tori left to go brush her teeth and do the rest of her routine. A short time later, Tori crawled into bed with Jade, slipped her arm around the goth, and cuddled into her back.
"You didn't have to show off your tits." Jade said.
"But with all the hacking going on, I didn't feel safe sending you nude pictures." Tori replied. "Tomorrow, after class, You owe me a training session. So don't wear yourself out, got it."
"got it." Jade replied.
Despite her exhaustion, Jade found it hard to get to sleep that night. Images of Tori, standing naked in front of her, would not leave her mind. Those breasts Jade had seen were now pressed into her back, separated by thin layers of material. Thoughts of what Tori wanted also flowed into her mind, often uninvited, reminding her of the many things girls could do together.
Jade was feeling the arousal. Her body was screaming for the intimacy, the release that Tori's proximity promised. Jade forced her mind onto less appealing things, like Helen and Sikowitz getting it on. While the images she was able to form were disturbingly detailed, and would haunt her for months to come, it did the trick, and Jade's body calmed down enough for her to drift to sleep.
Tori had felt the shudder down Jade's spine from when she banished her arousal. Taking a deep breath, the drowsy singer whispered into Jade's ear "Just a few hours, and we'll see who's the man in this relationship. I'm betting it's you." Tori, still feeling mischievous, added "I can get a dick, if you need one. Just tell me how big."
Jade didn't answer. She was already drifting, dreaming of school where she showed up dressed and ready to go, only to find it was be "naked" day at school. Her night would be haunted by her own detailed imagination and artists vision of the world., as she was able to imagine what every student and faculty member would look like naked. And they were all giving reports.

Ever have that dream?
I feel like such a tease. I keep writing, and hoping that when I'm done, it will make sense.
