A/N: I was really working at a healthy clip lately, and then I lost Internet in my house for several days! Come on, I've got stories to tell, people! But I managed to get about half of it saved before that happened! But thanks to the three day weekend, I couldn't work on this in my backup location. But yesterday, WIFI was restored and I could finally do some dang work!
HUGE THANKS TO S.K. ROWLING for co-writing this chapter with me! Thanks again, I really needed the push.
ENJOY
The morning after the birthday party, Harry and Gemma were driving into town to visit Jade and Tori, or to be more precise, their daughters. He felt that they didn't have very much time with all the craziness of yesterday and the abundance of people. Harry really wanted some one-on-one time with Alice, and while Gemma was hesitant at first, she saw it was important that she come along.
Jade had clearly made the effort to ingratiate Tori with her daughter. They were comfortable together and Gemma wished to have the same thing with Alice as well. Tori's own girl, Mia and Alice being besties and going to school certainly helped strengthen that bond. Gemma knew she had her work cut out for her. She never had any children, not that it was out of the question. The New England native just never vibed with kids historically before. She was able to make it work because her boyfriend's daughter lived with her mother on the other side of the country.
But Harry had been expressing interest that he wants to be more present in Alice's life, not just limit their interactions to twice a year and the rest of the time strictly on the phone.
Gemma knew she needed to put in the effort just as much as Harry. What if they were to get married? She did NOT want to become the evil stepmother! Her relationship with her own mother wasn't the most personable, which influenced her inability to extol that maternal extinct. But Gemma had to try. She was intelligent enough and Alice seemed like a nice girl; they can spend a day together, right?
They're both very important to Harry. It would be nice if the women in his life got along.
She did succeed in establishing herself with the rest of his family. Gemma was in good standing with his parents when it was clear she wasn't instrumental in the marriage's collapse. Rather, she picked up the pieces of a man who foolishly messed things up. Gemma had liked him, but it was a secret she kept to herself. Not a word or action was inappropriate the whole time they worked together. HR had nothing on her!
Even when he was back on the market, she hesitated. Gemma only chose to act on her feelings when Harry expressed remorse for cheating on Jade and his willingness to change. She knew the man and saw he meant what he said. It took many months, but he proved himself and they were able to start dating guilt free.
Despite all of that, Gemma declined the invitation to spend the night at the family abode, saying it would be asking a lot. Of course, they wouldn't do anything risqué while under his mother's roof, but it still felt strange to stay there anyway. He understood and picked her up from her home a half hour earlier.
Harry attempted to call Jade instead of just surprising her like he was the cops. But his efforts went straight to voicemail, so her phone must have been turned off. He sighed before leaving a voicemail that he was on his way to the house and wished to take the girls for a day out. Harry hung up and started the car while Gemma came back with the coffee.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Nope," sighed the tanned woman. "Let's do it."
They drove off, the GPS saying it would be fifteen minutes until they got to their destination.
"You don't think...uh...that it will feel weird inviting Mia along with us?" she asked.
"Why would it be?"
"I mean..." Gemma tried to pick her words carefully. "I know she lost her father and... I don't know..."
Harry huffed with a smile.
"Pretty sure Mia's friends have dads as well."
"Sorry, I'm sorry!" Gemma moaned, covering her face. "I'm just so nervous. I don't want to screw this up!"
He patted her leg.
"You'll do fine," he assured her. "Just don't overthink it. Not like having a baby. She's a young adult, she's got opinions, a mind of her own. All you have to do is communicate with her, find common ground."
Gemma gave Harry a dubious look.
"Is that all? I have to relate to a teenager. Easy!"
They made it to the townhouse and parked behind the rental car.
"Besides," Harry continued stepping out of the vehicle. "I'm sure Jade and Tori could use some alone time. Knowing Jade, they have probably been abstaining this whole time."
Gemma snorted knowing their history. "And no other man would do after you baby," she said and held on to his arm and kissed his cheek as he rang the doorbell.
No answer but they could hear laughing and splashing, so they ventured around the fence and came across a gate leading to the yard. Harry knocked on it and the voices stopped.
"Hello?" came Mia's voice.
"Who's there?" asked Alice.
"It's me, daddy; your father!" he grinned from behind the wooden barrier. More splashing and the load unlatching of a deadbolt.
Alice opened the door and leapt into his arms. "Dad!"
"Hey there Al!" he said holding his baby close and kissing the top of her head. "Where's your mom?"
Alice blushed and stepped back to let them in. "Um… in her room."
He waved to Mia and Gemma tensed.
"Could you point me to the bathroom?" she asked.
Alice nodded and directed her to the door leading into the house. "Through the kitchen, take a right. It's just down that hall."
Mia's eyes widened and she poked the short one in the shoulder. But it was too late, Gemma was off.
The voices outside faded, just as she heard Harry say, "Do you think Mia likes roller coasters as much as we do?" There were two doors in the hallway, and Gemma was confident she would find it, so she headed in that direction.
She smiled as she approached a door and a whole different sound invaded her ears. It was a guttural moan and a string of expletives streaming out of someone in a most delicious way.
"Ffffuck… don't you ever fucking stop Vega."
(That was Jade.)
Then the more musical tone of Tori's voice followed, "You like that baby?"
"I've been waiting for you my whole life!" came the satisfied response. "I could do this all day..."
Gemma started almost forgetting her purpose, turned away and headed to the other door correctly assuming it was the bathroom.
When she came out the moans had stopped, but Gemma didn't want to be there when that door opened. She rushed toward the back yard, following the voices, where Tori's daughter was excitedly talking with Alice and Harry about going to Six Flags. Gemma was mute as Harry asked, "You should ask your mom if you can come out with us."
Mia paused. "Uh…"
Alice looked at her friend. "Chicken."
Harry furrowed his brows and tried to meet Gemma's eyes. But Gemma looked down at her feet. The blush clearly visible behind her tan. Mia could only facepalm as she knew this would happen.
"There is a reason they picked the first-floor master… why don't you knock on the door." Mia stated wrapping her towel around herself preparing to go inside and get dressed to go with Alice. She was sure her mother would say yes. She and Jade had been dying for some alone time.
Alice shrugged. "Fine." She turned and just as she was going to knock, her mother opened the door. Lips swollen and rosy cheeked. "Mom… Dad's here."
Jade blinked and looked at the time on her phone. All she saw was a black screen. "Shit…" she whispered to herself, shaking Tori but she was already putting her sweats back on. She looked back at Tori's while she ran a brush through her own hair. "Okay!" Jade shouted in return while hastily putting on her cotton shorts. She couldn't locate her bra, so she just threw on her grey shirt.
"We're going to Six Flags." Alice said then looked past her mom to the other mom. "Can Mia come with?"
Tori looked at Alice then at Jade and smiled, "Sure…"
Jade swallowed thickly and licked her lips. Then she rushed Alice down the hall toward her ex and his girlfriend.
"Morning!" she said. "Sorry, I... we overslept."
Harry turned to his ex-wife, and instantly knew that she'd been up for hours. Gemma looked away as he studied Jade's after sexed look. He loved when she looked like this. And was that a hickey?
"Hey, thought I'd take the girls off your hands for a day," he punctuated with his best face to smooth things over.
Behind Jade, Tori walked into the living room with a swagger that told him that she knew that she could please Jade better than he ever could. "Mia loves roller coasters," Tori said. "Six Flags, you said?" she asked Alice, who nodded in confirmation. Tori shrugged, "Guess it's better than hanging around with two old ladies all day."
Jade raised an eyebrow.
"Who are you calling old?"
Harry snickered.
"Good morning, Jade" nodded Gemma. "Nice to see you again."
Tori and Jade exchanged glances and both locked eyes with the woman. They know she must have heard them having sex and she knows that they know. But they try to maintain the social contract and accept the friendly gesture.
"You're looking well," smiled Tori.
"Likewise," Gemma coughed in her direction.
Harry smiled as Mia ran past the two women who were obviously excited for their time alone.
"Thanks, mom!"
She was off to get dressed having heard a bit too much that morning when she'd wanted to ask about breakfast. Those sounds were unnatural. At least coming from parents' rooms. Not that she hadn't heard them before… it had just been a really long time. Her mom and dad's room were right next to hers.
"You guys have fun!" Jade waved.
"And behave yourselves," added Tori.
They acknowledged that they will and the four departed, leaving a quiet house. Only the sound of the clock on the wall could be heard. Tori's hand traveled up Jade's arm, making it tickle.
"I don't know about you but I'm hungry!" sighed Tori.
"Guess we both worked up a real appetite," Jade agreed while checking the clock. "It's about brunch time. Think someone has earned a custom omelet."
Tori wrapped her arms around the former goth.
"Is that someone me?"
Jade turned to kiss her nose.
"You earned it, hot stuff! Just get cozy and find something we can tolerate on TV."
"And maybe later burn some of those calories?" Tori smirked.
Jade only winked as she disappeared into the kitchen.
By car, from Boston, this excursion would've taken at least an hour and half. But these new speed trains in the northeast had been getting their tryouts. Now Bostonians can get to New York, Philly, Hartford and more in a fraction of the time. It was a real boost for business and tourism out here. For Harry, Gemma and the girls they were able to get to Agawam in about forty minutes, which was fantastic compared to what would add up to spending half the day in the car.
When they arrived, they could see the highest points of track peering over the trees off in the distance. There it was, Six Flags New England.
Harry paid everyone's day passes and they wandered in, Mia having not been in a Six Flags since Magic Mountain back west. It looked pretty different here. Her eyes took notice of a humongous wave pool.
"What's that?" she pointed.
"Oh, that's Hurricane Harbor," Alice explained. "All water rides."
"Crap!" huffed Mia. "Forgot my swimsuit!"
Gemma turned her toward the left and pointed upward to a track above all the water rides.
"But we can get on that one!" she smiled.
Mia saw the log ride that reminded her of one she rode at Knott's Berry Farm a long time ago.
"LET'S GO!"
The line wasn't long on that one and the girls insisted on riding up front once they loaded into the log. Alice liked these flume rides as they were the first real thrill ride she had ever gone on. It wasn't until she was older she wanted to do things that went higher like the Ferris Wheel, or faster like the old wooden coasters. It was good that she eased into harsh drops and inversions and loops because she wouldn't have been able to go on those kind of rides anyway until she broke that four foot barrier.
It was hard not to go back to your childhood when on a log ride. Something about the simplicity of riding a wooden bob sled down a wet chute and making a splash was so perfect. Even people who had issues with heights or amusement parks in general can't help but enjoy a flume ride.
"Here it comes!" announced Harry with an excited smile.
The teens put their hands up as they shot like a bullet back to earth. The enormous wall of water that they caused soaked both them and passersby. Mia and Alice high fived, their clothes clinging to them and their hair a matted messes.
"BEST. DAY. EVER!" declared Alice.
"Let's go again!" Mia grinned.
Gemma rung out the corner of her pink shirt.
"One more time and I won't have to wash my hair tonight!" she chuckled.
Before they dried completely, the group went on one more wet ride that they could still go on in their regular clothes. Blizzard River was a wild rapids ride where everyone say in a round raft, facing each other as they hurdled around the raging waters. They shared their go on the ride with a father and his younger daughter, both wearing the same green and yellow hats. You could tell they were related as they had the same face, she was just smaller and had curly orange hair.
Mia looked at them with a sad smile before turning to see Harry, who was right beside her and Alice was on his right. She had snippets of going on day trips like this with her mom and dad. Her father was more interested in thrills than Tori, so obviously he was the biggest influence on her. Alice looked up at her dad and smiled. Mia was happy for her that they still had a good relationship. Lord knows Sam would still be there if he could.
The sadness she had felt since his passing, with the benefit of hindsight, didn't depress Mia like it used to. Of course she missed him dearly but his love lived on in the people around her that care for her. Mia sees that now. And Alice was a big part of that, and even her family accepted her as part of them. Harry turned to her and asked if she was enjoying the ride as they bumped and spun around helplessly but in that fun way. Mia couldn't help but grin and nod yes. They continued on, their screams melding with the screams of the others in the raft.
"YOU'RE FUCKING WITH ME!"
Tori rose up from the sofa and wandered toward the kitchen. She could hear some soft muttering from Jade after that outburst. The Latina more or less drowned out the random noises emanating from the room. The banging of pots and pans, expletives, cracking eggs, more expletives, and so on.
But that sudden spike in her voice was impossible to ignore.
"Babe, you alright?"
Jade looked up with a gasp.
Her phone slid from the grip between her shoulder and head. It then bounced off her arm and landed on the countertop. Tori could see that it was Beck on the line but the call had already ended.
"Oh, shit, Vega! You scared me!"
"Uh-huh...what did Beck want?" Tori asked, arms folded.
Her eyes looked down at the bowl she was holding of whipped eggs and poured it into the hot pan.
"He was calling because Cat had her hands full and she really wanted to know what Alice thought of the jacket. Told him to tell her she loved it!"
Tori shook her head and hugged Jade from behind.
"Sorry if I sounded accusatory."
The former goth leaned her head back and kissed her.
"You didn't accuse a Tori. You accused a Jade."
"Now who's making the bad jokes?"
"Why does shitty puns strictly a dad privilege?" she shrugged. "Might want to step back because I'm about to put on the bacon and I don't want it snap, crackling and popping all over your gorgeous skin."
Tori gave a snide grin when she rubbed her finger around Jade's outer ear, causing her spine to light up like one of those strength testers at the carnival.
"Just give me ten minutes," the pale woman said.
"Promise?" asked Tori.
"Promise."
Alice wasn't the biggest reader of American comics, so this was the most DC iconography she had ever been exposed to. You had a Superman Ride, a Harley Quinn Ride, and more! Alice thought the Superman ride was her favorite so far. They went on more rides after that, Gemma being less enthusiastic as the day wore on. She was a fun person, but scary rides weren't her thing and opted to sit the more crazy ones out. Half the time, Harry would hang out with her while the girls went on together.
They came across Batman the Dark Knight, and Riddler's Revenge, which impressed even Mia. The rides inspired by comic book characters were THE most intense rides at the park. These ones were really hardcore in that you were strapped individually, row after row of riders, with your feet dangling. You could tell rides like these were no joke because they not only had height requirements, but height limits as well. Yes, you can be too tall for one of these babies!
Harry sat those ones out and kept Gemma company. But the girls were pumped to test themselves. Alice and Mia never left each other's sides, going from one wacky inversion or spin or drop together. Alice joked that if they scream any louder they might lose their voices. Mia just shrugged that they probably would. Those two were peas in a pod, their giggles and banter sometimes making others in line look back at them.
They had wanted to go on The Joker, but the line was too big and wasn't moving. That was when they took a break from the big thrills for milder but still enjoyable rides like the toboggan, the Daffy Duck ride, and The Scrambler. Gemma did not care for the unbridled spinning nightmare that was The Scrambler. Mia was pretty sure she heard her cry, "No more! No more!" while they rotated helplessly like clothes in a dryer.
Once the line for the Joker went down some, the girls eagerly ran to it. As they got close enough, their jaws dropped. This wasn't just a dangling coaster. It had pairs of two passengers on both sides, which all spin independently. So, you don't just move along the track, you are at the mercy of gravity to the point that you and your partner's seat can go backwards and forwards freely as the you progressed through the ride.
Alice's face managed to turn even whiter, her feet locked onto the ground. Mia's heart pounded but then her eyes narrowed, like the coaster gods themselves dared to challenge her. But she didn't want to go alone. Harry noticed how queasy Gemma looked and saw that his daughter was terrified. He just shook his head, knowing what he had to do.
"I'll go with you," he offered.
"You're sure?" Mia asked.
Harry took a look at the track that towered over a hundred feet in the air and inhaled sharply.
"Sure, kiddo!" he chuckled.
Alice exhaled heavily.
(Oh, thank Christ!)
Gemma noticed an area that was selling snacks. She was far from interested in food right now but sitting down for a but sounded great.
"How about we take a load off," she pointed at the seating options near the stand.
"That sounds like a great idea!"
While they waited in the huge line, the pair mostly hung in silence, barely anything to talk about. The man figured the teen wouldn't crack first so he felt it his job to break the ice.
"So... you and Alice, huh? I know you were friends, but you act more like sisters."
Mia shrugged with a smirk.
"Yeah, we've been through a lot in a year."
Harry nodded reverently.
"She's told me a bunch about you; you made her feel welcome at her new school. I remember being a freshman and it wasn't easy. But a new town where you don't know anybody? I'm just glad you were there for her."
Her smirk faded, "Well... we didn't get along the very first time we met. But later that day, I dunno, guess I had a change of heart."
"First impressions are never perfect," he smiled. "Don't beat yourself up. You know how many friends I had growing up where we straight up hated each other? Heck, I would get into fist fights and then later, when we're all messed up, we're laughing and hanging out. Guess it's a guy thing."
"Not always..." Mia admitted, wavering in her stance. The line was at a standstill for a few minutes already.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Mia stretched her arms.
"Well, me and Chase almost came to blows when we first met."
"Chase, huh?" Harry asked with an arched eyebrow. "Is that your boyfriend?"
The tan girl shuddered, "Eww, gross! He's just a friend."
Flashes of what she could recall from the night she ran off and was beaten within an inch of her life came to mind. In those visions, everything was blurry from what Mia could see though the pain was freshly remembered. But things somehow got into better focus when Chase got the drop on those assholes and helped her to safety. She had the concrete visual of him holding her hand while she was still conscious in the ambulance.
"Actually... more of a friend than someone like me deserved."
Harry picked up on that slice of self-loathing.
"What's that about, Mia?"
"Nothing, just..."
The line advanced substantially and it looked like they would be getting on in maybe fifteen minutes. Must have had a lot of people chicken out at the last second.
"Just what?" Harry asked, wishing to stay on the subject.
"I wasn't the nicest person," Mia admitted.
She held her thumb to her lips in a thoughtful manner.
"Could have fooled me," Harry told her. "You seem like a bright girl who is doing her best."
"I still struggle sometimes," she sighed. "Like me and Ryan."
"Is HE your boyfriend?"
Mia nodded.
"Okay, I got that bit right!"
The teen snorted at this guy. She barely knew him and yet he was so disarming, Mia was comfortable enough to spill her guts. Now she knows where Alice gets it!
"Nobody's perfect," he sighed. "Take it from the divorced guy. People make mistakes, sure. But you saying that you struggle sounds like you're still trying. And that's a good thing."
"Think so?"
They moved up some more, now able to make out the platform that launched the riders better.
"Absolutely," Harry nodded. "It's good to love yourself, but never think you can never learn more, or do better. Your best isn't a brick wall, it's a moveable target."
Mia rubbed her neck.
"Where did you hear that one, fortune cookie?"
"No, my therapist. He helped me figure out what my problems were. Spoiler alert: it was me!"
She laughed.
"That's funny, I'm in therapy too."
Harry held out a fist with a grin.
"Here's to learning from your old mistakes and ready to make new ones!"
Mia rolled her eyes and huffed before reciprocating the fist bump.
"Are you having fun?" Gemma asked eagerly.
Alice nodded while she was having a snow cone. It really hit the spot on a hot day that even she was thinking about getting one. Gemma figured she could probably hold down a frozen treat that was mostly water versus say a chili dog.
"You come here before?"
"A few times," Alice said. "It has been the longest since being back. Think I was...eleven, twelve? Pretty sure eleven."
Gemma folded her hands and leaned in.
"Los Angeles, huh? That has to be exciting!"
The pale girl grinned, looking like the total opposite of her tanned companion.
"Hollywood Arts was very different but I saw that it was the right place for me."
She smiled and nodded.
"So, Hollywood Arts is the school... you're really in Hollywood, then?"
"West of Hollywood but we can see the sign in the distance most days."
"Most days?" asked Gemma.
Alice enjoyed more of her strawberry lemon cone. Equal parts sweet and sour.
"Yeah, sometimes the smog can get a little thick and block our view. I mean, from what I heard it was way worse in the 90's and the early 2000's. But clean air initiatives have been doing their best to tackle the problem."
Gemma looked concerned, not realizing the air quality was questionable where she lived much of the time. Boston had its own carbon footprint, but it didn't make the sky so hazy you couldn't see!
"You're sure you're okay?"
"Oh, it's alright. Mom takes me to the doctor regularly and I'm doing fine."
She brushed her hair back and sighed.
"I didn't mean to sound pushy. It's just that you matter so much to your father, so that means you matter to me."
The girl glanced at her pointedly.
"You don't have to do that, really" Alice told her.
"Do what?"
"I know you're trying to clear the air, and you don't have to!"
Gemma looked surprised by the directness of that statement.
"If you think I hate you, I don't! My mom can date who she wants, so can my dad. It's not my place to..."
"Alice!"
The woman's eyes blinked rapidly, holding back tears.
"My parents got divorced, too. But I was much younger, like six or seven. And as a result, I didn't see my father at all. She kept me from him because things were so bad." She wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry, Alice. I just want us to get along."
Alice just tilted her head.
"We were doing that already," she smiled. "When we were talking about dumb stuff like the weather and school!"
"Oh..."
She then turned on her best pleading face.
"So, please don't make it weird and let's stop talking like this?"
The woman breathed in and out. Harry's little girl really was as wonderful as people said.
"Okay," nodded Gemma. "Sounds good."
She tapped the table while Alice got further into the snow cone.
"Any high school crushes?" Gemma asked. "Any boys you like?"
Alice blushed as her eyes sparkled.
"Um...yes but not a boy."
"Oh?" Gemma smirked. "And what's the story there?"
She put her frozen treat down on the napkin, Alice needing both hands to tell this tale.
"It all started when I was working on the school play..."
Harry and Mia were strapped in, the operator checking the restraints before giving the thumbs up. The ride hissed and motors began to whir. Slowly, they were elevated up and up. The tan girl's hands gripped her green harness, her breathing slowed and measured.
He noticed her right away did his best to reach out but couldn't quite get her shoulder.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"This was a mistake..." she said very monotone. Mia just kept repeating it to herself like a chant.
"Mia..." Harry's voice was stern but caring. "Look at me!"
Her head glanced to her left.
"It's going to be okay. Close your eyes if you need to. I won't tell," he added with a playful smirk.
Mia breathed a nervous smile. It did make her feel better that she wasn't next to a total stranger. Harry was growing on her, reminding the teen of her uncle back home. He could be a lovable goofball when he wanted. Because of Miles, it felt like her dad never truly left. Though neither Miles nor Tori would tolerate a roller coaster. So, she was grateful to have Harry here right now. Volunteering to accompany her was pretty crazy.
But that's the kind of thing dads tend to do.
Feeling her heartbeat increasing, she braced herself for the worst. Indeed, once they got over the hump, they were immediately facing the sky.
"That's different!" shouted Harry. "I'm beginning to regret this!"
Then the ride really took off.
Mia and her fellow traveler screamed the whole way, whilst rotating this way and that.
THE MOST INSANE 90 SECONDS LATER...
Gemma tapped Alice's back and she turned to see her father and Mia stumbling out of the exit.
"Are you guys okay?" Gemma asked, concerned.
"Nothing much..." Harry winced. "But I'm probably gonna hurl!"
Alice locked eyes with Mia.
"How was it?"
"We trauma bonded," she grinned, holding onto her heaving chest.
"Fuckin' right!" he huffed in agreement.
Jade laid down, blushing from another hot session. She couldn't believe how aggressive Tori was behind closed doors. But she was enthralled. A text message came up on her phone and she smiled.
"What's that, babe?" Tori asked.
"Alice," she sighed. "Saying they will probably be an hour because they're getting ready to leave."
Tori hummed seductively.
"Sounds like plenty of time to enjoy a shower together. Need to freshen up afterwards, don't you think?"
Jade jumped out of bed, still naked and ran to the bathroom to start the water.
Enveloped in warm water and steam, the lovers enjoyed exploring each others' bodies. Tori gasped when she was pushed against the cold tile wall. Jade sucked on Tori's breast, savoring how having they were even more enticing when wet. That got a moan from the Latina.
"I needed this!" Tori sighed with her eyes closed.
Tori held out her hand and wiggled her fingers about.
"What's wrong?" asked Jade, after she pulled her mouth from her nipple.
"Hand's a little cramped..." she admitted. "Really put her through her paces today."
Jade leaned her forehead against hers.
"I think we...whoa...I think we hit an all time record today."
Tori grinned as she sucked Jade's finger, her tongue swirling around it.
"Guess we'll take a break tonight? Sure the girls will want to tell us everything that happened, plus we all have to get dinner."
She nodded, not saying much as her mouth was occupied.
"Tomorrow?" Tori managed with her busy tongue.
"Tomorrow."
Jade looked away for a moment, looking a little worried.
"You alright?" Tori finally queried.
"Tomorrow night...I want to...I want to do...I mean, tomorrow night is your turn!"
The tan woman looked genuinely surprised.
"Oh! If you want to," Tori shrugged.
Jade nodded, unable to shake her frown.
"I've just been taking since we..."
Tori grabbed her and kissed her deeply.
"Listen to me, you haven't taken anything! I've been enjoying it. Besides, it's only been a couple of days."
The writer was still bothered by this. Tori had made her orgasm multiple times at this point and while things were hot and heavy between them, Jade technically didn't do anything regarding Tori's pleasure. She really wanted to make her girlfriend come and decided that tomorrow would be her chance. Jade had wanted to make Tori feel the way she made her feel. Jade was still nervous but it couldn't be put off forever.
Tori was being sweet and understanding now, but too many nights where she received without reciprocating? It would eventually get to her. This voluptuous vixen made Jade scream. She deserved the same in return.
(Tomorrow night, Vega, you're the focus!)
A/N: Tori got over her obstacle about being without clothes in front of her girl. But it's Jade's turn to face her demons and get over this performance anxiety. She has to try because they are equals.
