Thank you for the follows, faves, and reviews.
I finished this earlier than I thought, so I decided to post it early. Next chapter won't be for a little while or so, depends on when I finish it and how it goes.
This chapter takes place at the Vega house, and is the talk between Jade and Shelby. No other characters will be seen in this chapter.
To Jay aka Jordan, I through in a surprise for you in this chapter. Your persistence, though you weren't actually persistent I guess since you didn't mention it a whole lot, got to me a bit. I don't know if I'll make Jordan a somewhat original character or not, but I hope this helps for now.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious', 'iCarly', or any characters.
No POV
"So, you wanted to talk?" Jade asks as they walk into the Vega house.
"Uh, you wanted to talk." Shelby says, grabbing a change of clothes she stashed behind one of the couch cushions and quickly training to her workout top and shorts, not ashamed of showing Jade her toned body. "So, talk." She says once redressed, tossing her stuff in the bag for now.
"How did you know?" Jade asks, surprised that she didn't stare at Shelby like she would have if it were Tori instead.
"Know what?" Shelby asks, heading into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water from the fridge.
"That I might, possibly, like Tori?" Jade asks, sitting on the couch.
"The way you stare at her." Shelby says, sitting beside Jade on the couch. "That and all the stories I heard about you from her. To me, they tell me a lot. Like when you pushed her off the set. It seemed more like you wanted her to conquer her fear, not mess with her." She says, drinking from the bottle.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Jade asks, staring at Shelby.
"From what I understand, you care for Tori more than you let on." Shelby says, putting the bottle on the table. "You might've done things to hurt her, but I get the feeling you had your reasons." She says with a small smirk. "Other than hurting her." She says, cutting off Jade.
"How do you explain the bush daisies?" Jade asks, staring at Shelby.
"I watched her run over her lines through video chat one day. She was afraid she would mess up the play." Shelby says, making herself comfortable. "She left her video chat on at school one day, the group of you came in and wanted to run over lines and she didn't have a chance to close her laptop, and thankfully no one noticed it, and I saw how as you guys were running over it, you kept correcting her, but the irritation you portrayed seemed faked to me. Like you did it just for show. And maybe, just maybe, the bush daisies were an attempt, a major one mind you, to get her from embarrassing herself." She says casually.
"Huh?" Jade says, surprised.
"Yep." Shelby says with a smile. "I need to work out. Want to watch, or you gonna leave?" She asks, standing u and grabbing her bottle of water.
"Why would I want to watch you get all sweaty?" Jade asks, disgusted at the thought, as Shelby puts on a pair of her workout gloves.
"So you can imagine I was Tori and you're the reason I'm so sweaty when you go home and masturbate tonight." Shelby says, heading for the small gym in the garage that Mr. Vega had set up for himself to stay in shape without having to go to the station.
"What?! I do not masturbate!" Jade says, standing up and following Shelby.
"Everyone does. I do every night." Shelby says, unashamed.
"And who do you think about?" Jade asks, following the MMA champ.
"This girl I train with at the gym on occasion. She calls herself Jay. Don't know her full name." Shelby says, attaching her PearPod to the speakers and letting her workout music play, some classic rock songs plus 'Eye Of The Tiger' by Survivor, of course she had to put on 'Eye Of The Tiger' on the playlist.
"You're gay?" Jade asks as Shelby starts a quick kickboxing routine against the heavy boxing bag.
"Bi. I had a crush on that Sam chick from iCarly, but I noticed how she would look at Freddie and let her go." Shelby says between kicks.
"Have you told anyone?" Jade asks after a few moments of Shelby training.
"Told anyone what?" Shelby asks as she kicks the bag, grunting in exertion with the kick.
"About me? That you're bi?" Jade asks, mesmerized by how fluid Shelby looks. On screen, she looks amazing. In person? So much more.
"About you? No one. About being bi? Tori, Trina, our parents, my grandma, my trainer, and my manager." Shelby says, taking a small break to drink some water. "Why?" She asks, panting gently, as if she didn't use a lot of energy yet, when a normal person would be exhausted at that point with how Shelby was moving.
"Curious." Jade says, looking away when she sees that Shelby's underwear and tight workout shorts are thinner than she thought, seeing a hint of a camel toe.
"In more ways than one, I'd say." Shelby says with a small laugh when she sees the rare blush on Jade's cheeks. "What's with the blush?" She asks, getting ready to go again.
"Your underwear and shorts are thin and tight." Jade says, leaning her back against the wall beside the still open door.
"Who said I'm wearing panties?" Shelby asks coyly as she starts another routine.
"I saw you when you put your shorts on, and don't say that word. I hate it." Jade says, clearing her throat.
"How could you have seen them, by lower half was hidden by the couch and pillows. And what word?" Shelby asks, doing a quick kick to the bag.
"I saw straps, and the P word." Jade says, glaring at Shelby.
"What color were the straps of my panties?" Shelby asks, stressing the word 'panties' to mess with Jade.
"Red. Like the couch. And don't say it again or I'm gonna hurt you." Jade says, increasing her glare at the uneffected fighter.
"Think about that for a second." Shelby says, performing a quick jumping knee and landing gracefully on the ground. "The straps of my panties were the same shade of red as the couch I was standing behind." She says slowly, like she's talking to a child, or Cat.
"Shut up." Jade says through gritted teeth.
"Ha." Shelby says as she does a cross punch.
For almost a half hour, Jade watches as Shelby works out, impressed by how quick and powerful the MMA champ is, and how graceful she lands after each kick.
"Where's your CFC title?" Jade asks at the perfect time, causing the jumping kick to miss and Shelby falling gracelessly to the hardwood floor where the workout equipment is set up.
"You messed up my kick." Shelby says, sounding an awful lot like Tori does when she's caught of guard. "And don't think I've forgotten about you saying you'll hurt me earlier." Shelby says, glaring at Jade.
"Hey, it's just a simply question." Jade says innocently, a small smile forming on her face.
"I keep it hidden." Shelby says, brushing her ass as she stands up. "You want to see it?" She asks, smirking as she turns around and gets ready to do another kick.
"Sure. Where do you hide it?" Jade asks, knowing that Shelby is hiding something.
"If you can land a hit on me in less than fifteen attempts, I'll show it to you." Shelby says, using more power than usual to taunt Jade.
"Only if I can use a pair of scissors." Jade says, not falling for it.
"Not happening. Tori told me you keep those things sharper than legal." Shelby says, laughing.
"Then what? There's no way in hell I'm risking attacking you and you defending yourself." Jade says, crossing her arms over her chest.
"If you can knock this off the hook, I'll show you the title." Shelby says suddenly, moving to mess with the chain so it's barely being held on by the thick hook keeping the bag and chain from falling to the floor.
"Uh, okay?" Jade says, confused. "Why?" She asks, slowly walking over to the bag.
"Humor me." Shelby says, stepping aside, removing the gloves she put on.
"How many tries do I get?" Jade asks as she gets into a fighting pose.
"Five. If it's not down by the fifth, you have to tell Tori you have a crush on her." Shelby says before Jade throws her first kick.
"Wait, what?" Jade says, turning to glare at the fighter.
"You heard me." Shelby says smugly. "Knock it off the hook, or either you tell her, or I do." She says, hiding her thoughts that she knows Tori likes Jade back, whether Tori admitted it to herself yet or not, and wanting to get them together.
"And if I do?" Jade asks, glaring at Shelby.
"I keep it to myself." Shelby says honestly.
"Fine." Jade says, turning around and kicking the bag, letting out a pained grunt.
"Plant your feet firmly, twist your body with your kick, and aim so your shin makes contact, not your toe." Shelby assists from her spot.
"And you're helping me because?" Jade asks, looking over her shoulder.
"Because I want you to tell Tori when you want to, not because of a stupid bet." Shelby says softly.
"Fine." Jade says, doing as Shelby instructed and kicking the bag again. It still didn't fall off, but it didn't hurt as much.
"Better?" Shelby asks, smiling softly.
"Better." Jade says, focused on the bag. "Any recommendations on how to add power?" She asks, eyes on the bag.
"None I can offer you when you don't have proper training." Shelby says, moving to watch Jade better.
With a sigh, Jade brings her leg back and thrusts it forward, kicking the bag again.
"Damnit." Jade says when the bag stands tall. Her fourth kick results the same. Letting her frustration take over, Jade uses more force than she thought she had for her final kick, her shin hurting from the force of the kick.
"Yes!" "Dangit!" Both girls cry out.
Cliffhanger. Hee hee.
Sorry. Had to. Any guesses on what happened to the bag? Did it fall and Jade cheered on her secret staying put, or did it stay up and Shelby plans to make due on her promise? One way to find out.
Not even I know, to be honest. The cliffhanger was a random idea.
To those who have read and reviewed my latest one-shot, I know I wasn't original with it. It was a random idea that I thought up, and wrote it out. There will be a third part to it, and I will put more effort into it.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and please review.
Blessed Be.
