A/N - I wrote most of this chapter on my phone so apologies for any extra mistypes. I'm not a fan of writing these scenes and the only way I could do it was away from my laptop. So, sex scene warning but also I don't go into a load of graphic detail.
It was around 3pm when Cat said goodbye to her family and walked over to Jade's. Jason had a Christmas meal commitment with his business partner's family; which is what him and Jade had done since Elizabeth died. Jade had been invited this year too of course, but she'd declined the invitation, saying that she'd do something with Cat this year.
Jason West was not a dumb man, he knew why his daughter was suddenly so close with her 'best friend'. She talked about Cat exactly like how she'd talked about Beck all those years. But, he didn't push nor ask. It was okay with him, as long as Jade was happy that was all. And with time he knew she'd tell him. But for now, he wished his daughter a 'fun afternoon with Cat' and left.
Cat arrived at Jade's door and knocked softly. It only took a few moments before the door swung open, as if Jade had been stood right on the other side just waiting for the knock. She possible had been. Jade was dressed in her usual dark attire— abide a little comfier, a loose black hoodie and joggers. Her hair was pulled back in a messy bun, a few strands framing her face. The corners of Jade's mouth lifted into a small smile when she saw Cat, her eyes lighting up.
"Come inside before anyone sees me in joggers." She said, quickly herding Cat inside and closing the door behind her.
"What's the plan?" Cat asked, as she shuffled inside. After day of nothingness she desperately needed some fun Christmas activities.
"I thought we could do some baking." Jade replied, walking into the kitchen and showing Cat the variety of baking ingredients she'd laid out. She wasn't much of a baker but, it felt like something to do.
"YAY!" Cat squealed, very very happy with the suggestion, bouncing with joy.
"Woah woah don't take off now." Jade said, putting her hands on the redhead's shoulders to keep her from jumping too high. "So what do you want to bake? I've got pretty much everything here-"
Cat thought for a second, "Chocolate chip cookies!" She decided on. "But adding sprinkles! Because who doesn't love sprinkles?"
"Sure thing. Just don't burn anything, okay?" Jade teased, her playful tone making Cat smile. They began working side by side, each measuring ingredients and chatting comfortably.
"So, how was your Christmas?" Jade asked, glancing over at Cat as she mixed the cookie dough. "Did Matteo enjoy his gifts?"
Cat sighed, the weight of the day lingering. "It was… okay. He liked the puzzle I got him. But he didn't want to open his other gifts. He sometimes needs the time to process everything."
"Yeah, I get that," Jade said, her voice softening. "I can't imagine how tough that must be for you."
"It is," Cat admitted, her voice quiet. "But it was nice spending time with him. We just played puzzles and tried to keep everything low-key."
Jade nodded, understanding flashing in her eyes. "Sometimes low-key is what you need. I know how that goes."
As they continued to bake, the conversation flowed easily, laughter punctuating the air. The smell of cookies wafted through the kitchen, and soon enough, they pulled the first batch from the oven, the golden-brown treats cooling on a rack.
With a small plate of warm cookies in hand, Jade led Cat to the living room, where a flickering candle provided soft light, creating a cozy ambiance. They settled onto the couch, Cat's heart fluttering at the intimacy of the moment.
"So, what's next on the agenda?" Cat asked, taking a bite of the cookie. The warmth melted in her mouth, and she couldn't help but grin. "These are amazing!"
"Right? I'm basically a baking genius," Jade replied, her eyes glinting with pride. "But seriously, I was thinking we could watch a movie or something… again." They always seemed to find their way back to the TV, but it worked for them.
"Sounds perfect. Any recommendations?" Cat asked, leaning back against the couch.
"Maybe something festive?" Jade suggested with a playful smirk.
"Festive sounds good to me," Cat replied, a laugh escaping her lips. "But I'm not sure if that's your style."
"Sometimes I can enjoy a good holiday movie," Jade shot back, feigning indignation.
Cat giggled, her heart lightening as they bantered back and forth. Eventually, they settled on a classic holiday movie, snuggling into the couch as the opening credits rolled.
As the film played, Cat felt the warmth of Jade beside her, the familiar comfort wrapping around her like a blanket. They shared cookies and laughter, Cat wrapping herself closer and closer to Jade as the scenes progressed. The earlier tensions of the day had melted away, replaced by a shared understanding and companionship.
In the midst of the laughter and the movie, Cat couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment—the simplicity of being with Jade, the ease of their relationship. It was nice and slow, but… maybe things could speed up a little bit with it.
As the film reached a particularly quiet moment, Cat turned to Jade, her heart swelling. "I'm really glad I came over today. You always know how to make things better."
Jade met her gaze, her expression softening. "I'm glad you did too. You don't have to go through everything alone, you know."
Cat smiled, warmth flooding her chest. In that moment, surrounded by the flickering light of the screen and the comfort of her arms she felt a sense of building heat.
In one swift movement, she pulled her hand out from under the blanket and to Jade's chin, tilting it down towards her. And in another, equally as quick movement, she kissed her. At this point they'd kissed quite a few times, it was becoming one of their favourite past times it seemed. But this time it felt more eager. Cat was kissing like she was scared it would be the last time, really making the most out of it. It caught Jade off guard slightly, as she was used to being the one to make the moves first, but she didn't necessarily dislike it.
At the first gasp for air, they quickly readjusted, their bodies fully facing eachother now. And went in again.
After what felt like an hour, they pulled away again. "Upstairs?" Cat shot out in between deep heaving breaths. Jade wasn't sure what she meant by upstairs in that exact moment but something inside her screamed at her to nod.
"Mhm." Jade nodded, this being all Cat needed to hear before grabbing Jade's hand and pulling her up the staircase and into her room. She almost fell face first at the speed the redhead was going.
As Cat kicked the bedroom door shut behind them, Jade finally realised what she's said yes to. "Oh right." She said out loud, again her brain in command over her mouth.
Suddenly, Cat let go of her hand, releasing that she may have been misinterpreted something. "Oh did you not-"
"I… oh." Jade looked at Cat, then her bed, then Cat again, before suddenly pulling herself back together. She was Jade West, she didn't do flustered. If her brain was suddenly unable to find words, she'd use her mouth in another way, pulling Cat in again for a kiss. It was somehow even deeper than before, if that were even possible. It started by the door and continued as Jade walked them towards her bed, pushing Cat's smaller body backwards down onto it.
As Jade followed her onto the bed, legs straddled either side of Cat, her hands moving around her girlfriend's body. Cat was doing the same, pulling Jade down ontop of her, unzipping her hoodie quickly. The outside of her outfit was nothing at all scant but, there was apparently no shirt underneath it. "Oh wow" Cat whispered inbetween kisses, moving her hands onto the bare skin and bra of her girlfriend.
The hairs all over Jade's body pricked upright at this touch by Cat's soft hands. She's never had that feeling before; and suddenly it hit her. She didn't know what to do with a girl. She became very aware of the fact her own hand had gone straight to undoing Cat's jean button. But that wasn't quite right.
Cat could suddenly feel the unsureness in Jade's kiss, and pushed Jade away from her a little. "Is this okay?" She asked slowly, locking eyes with Jade, wearing a more serious expression than Jade had ever seen from her.
"Y..yeah you're doing great." She stuttered, very much enjoying the feeling of how Cat's hands had been snaking their way over her bare skin. "Just I…" she paued again. God she was already a little worked up. "I don't really know what to do with uh… you."
"Oh gosh you've not been with a girl!" Cat exclaimed, sitting upright so fast she almost head butted Jade. "I completely forgot!"
"You have?" She asked. She knew Cat had ex girlfriends and had definitely slept with guys before but she didn't know she'd gone that far with a girl. Jade had only ever been with Beck, she only knew how to be with Beck.
"Only one girl but-" Cat dismissed. "It's just like with a guy but, well, missing some parts and adding on more." She summarised, a deep blush creeping across her face. "We'll just take it slowly if you want."
As Jade nodded, Cat continued as she was, abide a little slower. She pushed Jade's hoodie off of her shoulders and let it fall behind her. Next she took Jade's hands and guided them to the bottom of her own shirt, shuffling upright a little to help Jade remove it over her head. Then they kissed again. Cat placed her hands over Jade's, giving her an indication of the places to touch- mainly her bra area. And then left Jade to it, going back to exploring Jade's body with her own hands
"Can I?" Cat asked, her thumb gliding over Jade's back, fingers playing with the back of her bra hook.
"Mhmm" Jade nodded again, her mind only focused on taking in Cat's body underneath her own touch.
It took Cat a second to unlatch Jade's bra- the angle a little uncomfortable, but the reward was worth it. "Wow." Cat whispered again, seemingly her new buzz word.
In that moment her mind changed. Screw being slow- there was an easier way of showing Jade what to do.
In the blink of an eye, suddenly Cat was sat upright, wrapped her arms around Jade's waist and slammed her backwards down onto the bed. The movement was so quick that she barely had time to catch herself from falling flat on top of Jade in their new position.
"Just tell me when to stop okay." Cat whispered again, locking Jade's lips in her own once again. It was much easier to lead on top. The first kiss was only a brief, as she started to trail it more along her jaw, down her neck and onto her breasts. Slow and explorative, but ever eager for more. As she got further down, she took Jade's wandering hands up to her own bra, and got her to unclasp it.
This was all so new for Jade. One, doing this with a girl, two with Cat and three, being so out of control. With Beck she knew what she was doing- well at first she didn't but nor did he then. She's never been so out of her depth before but. It was nice.
Once Cat's bra was undone and removed, Jade knew what to do- basically copy what Cat was doing with her own boobs. Exploratory touches and grazes, finding what movements pricked her skin.
"Can I keep going-" Cat asked between kisses, that kept trailing further and further south.
"Less talking more doing." Jade replied quickly, the first proper sentance she'd managed to get out in a while.
"Yes Ma'am." Cat purred bringing both hands to the waistband of Jade's joggers and pulling them down while Jade helped by kicking them away. She reached a hand down to encourage Cat to remove her jeans, which she happily did.
Moving her way back up, Cat kissed Jade's lips again, one hand staying south while the other steadied herself over her girlfriend. She seemed like she knew exactly what she was doing. Jade wondered if she really did or if it was all hormone induced confidence. She certainly hadn't taken Cat as a top before but, here she was. And she was absolutely not complaining.
Slowly, Cat pulled at the fabric of Jade's underwear, stroking the dampened area with her thumb. Smirking into the kiss as she felt it. She pushed the fabric aside and Jade gasped. Her touches were so much softer than she was used to, and somehow brought out so much sensation. Cat ended the kiss on the lips, and started trialing down again, her thumb still circling. As the kisses got lower and lower, focusing on some sensitive areas once again, Cat pushed apart Jade's leg with her knees, shuffling down between them. Stealing one more approving look from Jade, she continued the kisses further down, pulling Jade's underwear down simultaneously.
"Holy… fuck" Jade breathed as she finally found her words again, laying sprawled against her own bed, with a very satisfied redhead beside her. "Holy fuck!" She repeated, then pausing for a moment. "And don't you dare tell me to-"
"Don't swear." Cat giggled, finishing Jade's thought.
"I said don't." Jade glared, turning her tired head to where Cat was also laying, beaming back at her. She was unable to hold the glare long though, her body was too tingly and tired to be annoyed. "Where did you learn to do that? Actually, don't answer that." She didn't really want to know the method just that the results were… wow. "I could definitely do that again."
"Give me at least 10 minutes." Cat replied, "my arms ache." She admitted. As much as she wanted nothing more than to bring those noises out of Jade again, she really didn't have it in her.
"I've gotta learn how do to that." Jade added.
"I'm certainly here if you want to practice." Cat replied quickly. Boy was she a flirt when she wanted to be.
