Hello again
...
The rest of the day is a breeze. Jades slips on a tank top and some yoga shorts and stands at the stove making eggs. She wears her big headphones to drown out Tori and Beck playing their guitars in the living room (shes started keeping one of her guitars there).
Jade pours the last bit of eggs on top of the mountain shes already made and call her friends to breakfast. Tori puts her guitar down and Beck keeps playing. Jade knocks the peak of egg mountain onto another plate and meets Tori on her walk to the kitchen.
Tori stops in front of her and slides her headphones down to her neck. "-only teenage wasteland..." She sings to Jade. Her voice and his instrument harmonize, Becks skills have improved greatly since Toris been helping him. "Teenage wasteland." she finishes.
Beck cheers behind them "That was incredible! Jade, did you hear that?!" She doesn't break eye contact with Tori when she nods. She smiles and takes her plate. Jade and Beck grab their own plates and join her on the couch. Tori finishes before them and picks up her guitar, fiddling around while they watch TV. Jade finishes ver eggs and lays her hand on the strings "You never stop do you?" Tori blushes and shakes her head. Jade kisses her, then lets go and faces the tv again. Beck tosses his plate on top of Jades and starts asking Tori questions about what she's playing.
...
"Please?"
...
"Pleeeaaaassee"
...
Jade sits on the end of Toris couch, clenching and unclenching her fists in her lap to combat the coiling in her stomach. Tori gives her her best pout, hoping that after 3 months of begging for things it still affects her.
Shes sitting on her knees facing Jade, begging her to go on a double date with some of her weird friends. Jade would do anything for Tori, steal for her, fight for her, but both these things sound far better than an evening of forced conversations with non-Tori people.
She faces the girl in question. The sun pours in from the window and flows over Jade, drowning Tori in light and making her eyes shine as she waits for Jades answer. 'Shes just...the best' she thinks.
Toris the only she can talk for hours and Jade doesn't have to say a word, she can just listen to her voice. She doesn't complain when Jade says the lines with her favorite movie, or deconstructs all the ones she hates, she just smiles and listens. Shes never really cared for horror films and tends to find Jades commentary much more interesting anyway. She doesn't recoil at Jades favorite songs, she learns to play them for her.
She faces her lap again and swallows the lump in her throat painfully, then nods. "Really!?" She nods again. "Oh thank you thank you thank you!" Tori cheers, strangling her in a hug and peppering the side of her face with kisses. She ceases her attack and looks Jade pointedly in the eyes.
"Hey, I love you." A smile erupts on Jades face, as well as a blush. She isn't quite there yet, but she definitely doesn't mind hearing that Tori is. The pain in her stomach is instantly relieved and she surges forward to kisses her, hard enough to let her know that love or not, she definitely has strong feelings for her.
"Eh hem" Trina clears her throat. They separate and look behind them. Trinas standing there scowling with a bowl of popcorn under her arm, but when their eyes meet hers it vanishes and she rounds the couch, plopping down at the other end. Jade tries to understand the encounter but before she can grasp it Toris unfolded her legs and is sinking into her side.
"Jade said she'd come with us!" Tori tells her sister excitedly. "Shes coming!?" Trina and Jade yell in unison. Tori looks between them curiously as they both deflate. Trina faces the Tv and replies "Super." before eating a fistful of popcorn. Jade crosses her arms and feels the coiling begin again. "Can't wait..." Tori gives her a sad, knowing smile and curls her hand behind her neck. Jade sighs and leans into the touch as their night descends into awkward silence and network television.
...
As always, Trina doesn't go to bed until Jade goes home. "Goodnight!" Tori calls from the kitchen. She opens the fridge and browses her options when she hears a quiet knock at the door. She tip toes to the window and peaks through the blinds. When Jade sees her she leans against the window sill and mouths 'hi' Tori laughs and Jade nods towards the door.
Tori opens it as slowly as she can, flinching at every creak. Jade walks in and opens her mouth to speak but Tori quickly covers her mouth. She shakes her head and Jade really wants to tease the incredibly serious look in her eyes. She reluctantly shuts up as Tori painstakingly shuts the door behind them. Tori tip toes to her room with Jade calmly walking behind her.
She shoves Jade in and yells "Goodnight!" Before closing the door. Jades sits on her bed kicks off her shoes, chuckling at her girlfriends dorkiness. Tori saunters her way and asks "What's so funny?" Jade looks her up and down then laughs again. Toris confidence subsides, replaced with worry. "What?" She asks again, rubbing at her clothes. "Nothing, its just." Tori sits beside her, eyes curious "there's something inherently funny about a girl as hot as you being this lame."
"Well" Tori huffs. She rises and walks to her dresser. Jade continues undressing while Tori fishes for pajamas. She finds a pair of Jades first and tosses them back blindly at her. "Thank you" Jade yells sarcastically, and muffled. Tori pulls out a pair of her own and puts them on top of the dresser.
She turns back to Jade and says "You're welcome" before stripping off her shirt and throwing it at her too. The garment slides off her face and reveals a less than amused scowl. This elicits a laugh from Tori, which makes Jades scowl deepen, which makes Tori laugh harder...until Jades pile of day clothes almost knock her over. "Woah!" Tori spins and regains her balance, mouth hung open in shock.
Jade regards her mischievously, slowly sliding under the covers. Tori shakes her head and takes at step. "You little..." She launches herself on the bed and tries to tear the covers from around Jade. Said girl has cocooned herself for her own protection. When Tori realizes she isn't getting in by force, she waits quietly. After a couple seconds Jades head cautiously rises from a previously unknown hole and Tori seizes the opportunity.
She rips the covers down Jade, leaving her exposed. She seems not to mind though, eyes hooded as she eyes Tori. Shes confused for a sec, until she remembers what they were doing. She rolls her eyes and climbs of the bed and resumes dressing.
...
"Stooop" Tori whines when the kiss breaks, but Jade goes on ignoring like she has been for the past 10 minutes and kisses her again. "I'm soo late" she says lamely before accepting another kiss. Jade pulls back and looks her in the eye. "Mmm I don't care" she shakes her head and dives in again. Toris new day job was seriously cutting into their time together.
The next time Tori pulls away "Okay, I really have to go now" Jade pouts and Tori pecks her once before gently removing her girlfriend from her hips and sliding her legs off the bed. She stretches while Jade watches her happily from behind. "Come baaaacck" she whines. Tori smiles and shakes her head, getting up and backing away out of her door towards the bathroom. "Can I come with you?" Jade shouts. Tori laughs. "No!"
...
"Shoes...shoes...shit where are my shoes!" Tori got out of the shower and immediately began running around her apartment trying to get ready. Her shoes were the last things she needed.
Jade sighs and goes to where she knows her girlfriend left them, in front of the couch, which means they're now under it. She fetches the shoes and presents them to her. A visible wave a relief washes over her. She rushes over and gives her a chaste kiss. "What would you do without me?" Jade says, circling her now free arms around Toris waist. Tori pretends to think for a moment. "Hmm. Not be late in the first place?" Tori laughs and Jade narrows her eyes, before joining in then kissing her again.
"Mmm Nooooo" and again. Tori pushes her shoulders but the taller girls fingers are interlaced behind her back, preventing her from going very far. She drops her shoes pulls her fingers apart then holds them in her own. "Jade, if I'm late, no more sleeping over on weekdays." Jade pouts. "But I miss you..."
"When you're asleep?" She nods. Tori sighs, if that's her opening argument, this is going nowhere. "Then I better get going, huh?" Jades pout morphs into an understanding frown as she pulls her hands back and crosses her arms. Tori crouches and puts on her shoes, then stands up and opens her arms. Jade reluctantly sinks into her with her arms still crossed. Tori just laughs, says "Bye Jade" and kisses the top of her head. "bye monkey..." Jade mumbles.
