Twist of Fate

Chapter 14 – An Evening at Tori's Part 2

No one's POV

"Jade, once I lead you to the stairs, you just make your way to the top while I take my lift up."

"Got it." Said Jade, as she got up and carefully moved around the table. When her hand reached out and came into contact with Tori's chair, the Latina slowly moved to the stairs.

After a moment, Jade felt Tori stop. "Ok Jade, the stairs are directly in front of you. My lift in on the left, and you just reach and grab the railing on your right.

Jade nodded, reached out her hand and held onto the railing. As she slowly made her way up the stairs, Jade could hear a slow whirring sound from behind her as the lift took Tori up the stairs. It took about a minute for the lift to reached the top of the stairs. As she waited, Jade imagined who daunting a simple pair of stairs could be for a person in a wheel chair. For Jade, it was merely a matter of getting her bearings and then just go.

Tori got to the top of the stairs and began to roll down the hallway. "Jade, we are going straight down the hallway about 12 feet and my bedroom will be the 2nd door on your left. Jade followed Tori town the hallway, all the while making a mental map of the Vega home in her head. Coming to the door, Jade waited for Tori to go in first.

Jade then stood in the doorway and cleared her throat.

"Oh gosh, I'm sorry. If you enter the room and turn directly to your right. My bed is straight ahead. That's probably the best place to sit. I forgot; I don't have a chair in here anymore. Not much use for one."

Jade walked in slowly and found the bed where she sat down. Tori moved around to the door then closed it.

"I think your decorator ripped you off." Jade said with a smirk. "Terrible shade of pink."

Tori gasped. "How did you know my walls were pink?"

"You seem like a pink person to me. I'd imagine the bedspread I'm sitting on is probably a pastel color, either that or purple."

Tori rolled her chair up next to the bed where Jade was sitting. "It's a pastel shade of green. Dam your good."

"I know."

Tori merely laughed.

"Tell me, Vega. Did I pass the test?"

"With flying colors."

A rather smug look came to Jade's face. "I can turn on the charm when I choose."

"If only you'd do that more often. People might actually like you."

"Who says I actually want anyone to like me."

"You wouldn't be here if you didn't."

Jade merely scratched the back of her neck and pretended to look around.

"You know, most people I bring to meet my father..."

"Royally kiss his ass?"

"Not quite the way I'd put it, but an accurate description none the less."

Jade chucked. "You thought I'd go all Eddie Haskell on you."

"Eddie Haskell?"

Though blind, Jade gave Tori an incredulous look. "You have not heard of Eddie Haskell? You know Leave it to Beaver, haven't you ever seen it?"
