Previously on Conflicting Love

She moved her lips softly, she soothed mine making my eyes flutter to a close. The hand that held mine, untangled itself from my fingers, making it's way up to my neck. Her lips danced along mine at the slowest, yet most passionate pace. I knew she was putting a lot of thought into the one kiss, I knew she was trying extra hard to make this feel amazing, and she's succeeding very well. I can't even describe the feeling she's giving me with just her lips alone.

The feelings she gives me, from just being here and herself though. Those are the ones that I know would be the most difficult to even attempt to describe.

She pulls back a second, most likely to catch some air. I smile and before I know it, " I love you."

Tori Vega's POV

My eyes stay on Jade as I try to think hard of what just had happened only a few seconds ago. Did I really just hear that, or am I imagining things again? I'm known for spacing off and thinking of situations the way I would like them to happen.

" Well? " Jade asks me with fear in her eyes, i've realized i've been silent for a bit now. In all honesty, I'm having a hard time finding my reality again.

" Um." I answer as I still try to grip onto what's in my head and what is reality. Her expression becomes suddenly angry making me wonder what I did wrong.

" Um? That's all you have to say? Um?" She starts to question me, making me panic again. Shit, what have I done? She then continues with a more of a upset expression, " I tell you I love you, and that's your reply?"

" So...I didn't just imagine that you said that right now? " I question her frantically, knowing that i'm screwed now. What she said just seemed too good to be true, how am I supposed to believe it really happened? I always imagine things happening them the way I want them, so of course I imagined Jade telling me she loved me. This is really happening though?

"No, you didn't just fucking imagine it-" She starts making me suddenly worried, she really cares about this by the way she's reacting. She looks at me angrily and leans back into her seat with a sigh.

" Jade-" I start trying to make her feel better, but she doesn't let me.

" Fuck off Vega. " She interrupts me making my mouth drop slightly, how could she say that? She looks away from me and crosses her arms, staring deeply out of the window. I stay silent for a moment not knowing how to handle the fact that she just told me to "Fuck off."

" I love you too." I tell her making her slowly look back to me, I'm surprised though when I see a small tear sliding down her cheek.

" You hesitated and then said Um, how am I supposed to believe you?" She asks catching me off guard a bit.

" Honestly Jade, I thought I just imagined you telling me you loved me. I daydream a lot, and that was me thinking I was daydreaming. I didn't want to say I love you too if you never said it in the first place. " I tell her hoping she believes me, it is the truth. She stares at me with confusion in her brows now, trying to figure out if she believes me or not.

" Jade, you have to believe me. I've been waiting for the moment we say that to each other for-" I stop myself when I realize what i'm about to confess, I don't need to embarrass myself any further today.

" For how long?" She asks me skeptically, realizing why I had stopped mid-sentence.

" Um, you know. Not too long. " I lie to her with a nervous laugh, I could never tell her that I actually knew I was in love with her for over many months now. I always fall too fast and then freak people out when I say I love you to them, that's why it was so hard for me to believe that Jade had actually said it to me first.
