tori: "maybe" she replies candidly, her smile all soft and sultry as she leans forward and closes the distance between them, kissing him, albeit chastely, but kissing nonetheless. and she couldn't help but note in the back of her mind how she thought briefly about the possibility of something like this happening when she first saw him, addled with a tool kit and trying not to track anything inside as he lugged things up and down her stairs. it was over as quick as it happened and when she pulled away she whispered a "sorry" to him, as if she'd momentarily succumbed to some involuntary impulse. but her expression wasn't regretful. she knew he had a girlfriend, everyone knew he had a girlfriend, and she was sure that in the morning she'd be unhappy with herself for coming on to katie matlin's guy. but right now she could only do what felt good and natural, even if that meant reaching for the forbidden fruit.
jake: had a feeling where this would be leading to the moment she asked the question. a shocked expression appeared on his face as she kissed him briefly, part of him realizing that they'd been on this path since he'd started spending so much time around her at her house, part of him feeling guilty over what this would do to katie, and another part of him that wanted and liked this. he didn't know which part was stronger right now, but she pulled back before he could make another move. his buzz was still on, but he wanted to try and stay coherent for this. "don't be sorry.", he told her, looking the girl into her eyes. "i like you, tor. i mean that..and if this were a month ago, we'd wouldn't even be clothed right now.", he spoke honestly, running a hand through his hair. "but i..", he paused, biting his lip and weighing his options. the high was starting to take over, throwing logic out the window. and for once, he wanted to be bold. without another word, he leaned forward, kissing her back this time with vigor.
mrzigmundnovak:
It sounds to me that you probably had a pretty great night. It’s a shame that you can’t remember it.
Some of the best nights are the ones you can’t remember when you’re partying, man.
enigmaticmatlin:
Jake, that’s not good… Of course I’m gonna worry, this is me you’re talking to.
I know, and I appreciate that. It’s just, sometimes I lose myself I guess in the fun. Slip ups are human.
thegracecardinal:
Actually, I can blame people for not being able to mind their own business. Have some self control.
Fine, I’ll skip the questions for you since I’m sure you’ve got enough of that. You need any help then?

tori: her full lips lifted into a soft smile at the bit of reassurance he offered as she sighs and rolls over to her stomach. "thanks j," she offers sincerely, "you know when we lived in europe for a while right after gabi was born, i used to help out at my dad's studio pulling accessories for his models, or helping decide which shade of tangerine would look best in a shoot and that was fun..but i don't know if it felt like destiny" she muses honestly, dark eyes trained on his hands as he gears up to do another line and she takes hers soon after, ultimately deciding that an epiphany could probably wait until morning. "do you believe in destiny, jake?" she asks, looking over at him through her long lashes and her head propped against her hand just so. "or maybe just--two people being in the right place at the right time?" the insinuation was so strong that it even surprised her a little. maybe it was the drugs going to her brain, or her recent break up, or the simple haze of 4 a.m. that nagged her to act on her desires. but either way, she was willing to test the waters.
jake: "see, there's a start. but i don't know if it was 'destiny' that i picked up that toy hammer back then." he said somewhat unsure of the use of the word. destiny was a big thing to believe in. he did believe in god and fate, and that things happen for a reason that maybe no one can explain. he takes his line, snorting it and his lips slightly curving into a tiny cheshire smile. he wasn't going to get the bouncy, childlike feeling like earlier at the club, it was 4 am after all, but it was nice pick me up before bed he thought. his thoughts wandered to that word again, 'destiny', and he couldn't help but remember what he'd always thought. "i think stuff happens for a reason..maybe to make us who we're meant to be.", he replied simply, eyes wandering over to hers. he'd never looked in them, really looked in them, until now, and they were longing for something he wasn't sure he could give her. but the feeling was taking over again, the same feeling from earlier, and he couldn't help follow her words. "right place, right time, right../couch/ maybe?", he asked her curiously.
thegracecardinal:
And how is that anyone’s business?
It’s not, but you can’t blame people for looking..or asking questions, considering what happened to you both.
enigmaticmatlin:
Well, that’s true. You really don’t remember anything, though?
I mean, I was at a club, having a good time, and then I took something and from there it just goes..blurry. I feel okay though and it’s not the first time this has happened, so there’s no need to like, worry.
enigmaticmatlin:
That sounds… interesting.
I know, I know. I think I partied a little too hard last night, but at least I’m in one piece.
After a week of missing school, I’ll be back tomorrow. Stare at me and I will punch you in the fucking face.
It’s not so much starring as it’ll be questions about what happened exactly..
You ever have one of those wild nights where you can’t remember anything and you end up waking up in some dude’s house? Gave me a joint and said I earned it though, so I’m not complaining.

tori: "well isn't college supposed to be for figuring out what you want to do with the rest of your life? if you already know, what's the point?" she replies honestly, feeling like if jake had already found his niche there was no need to delay things any further. as he ran upstairs she made herself comfortable, plunking herself down on one of the living room chairs and flipping through a spare home improvement catalog that sat at her feet. "got it" she yelled back to jake, decidedly ignoring his offer a little late night snack. by four in the morning her appetite was usually shot. for food, anyway. she kicked off her shoes and brought both feet underneath her, patiently awaiting his return. when he did however, she was already almost knee deep in the catalog. "jake, how do you find what you're good at?" she asks curiously, her raven locks draping over her shoulder as she rested her chin against her palm and watched him cut their lines. "you're good at so many things, building things, and playing with kids, and buzzed driving" she adds with a coquetteish laugh. something about the come down always made her a little wistful.
jake: "now you're getting it.", he replied, happy that someone understood where he was coming from. college wasn't for everyone he thought, and he was glad that she could understand that over katie, who always nagged at him about his future. it was his life, and he was determined to live it. jake changed out of his button up shirt into a regular t-shirt, grabbing his baggie and heading back downstairs. regardless of the situation, jake at least tried to take care of his company. he sat on the couch and started cutting lines, watching her flip through the magazine and smiling to himself. he didn't think he was that good at anything really, so when tori asked how he got to where he was, he simply shrugged his shoulders. "i dunno, i think you just try stuff you like or something you think might be fun. watching my dad build stuff looked fun as a kid, so I just did it." he laughed, glancing over at her. "who knows, you could be pretty good at things too. besides being really pretty, you have a really great fashion sense, you're a good mom: seriously, my mom sits in that same chair and reads that same magazine, so i would know.", he said honestly. "and i know i'm like..only 8 percent high right now, but i mean that."

enigmaticmatlin:
Jake couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, rolling over on his side to face her. “Well for the record, I like this side. And this side.”, he said with a sly grin, his hand moving down to squeeze and smack her butt. He pulled her close, wrapping his arm around her. “I agree. I’m gonna be yours until you get sick of me, and even then..”, he smiled as he pecked her lips. “I’ll love you like I love you now: a lot.”

tori: "lucky you" she comments, while adamantly resisting the urge to kick off her heels and prop her feet up on the dashboard. "and it is /so/ bad, a whole 'nother year of the same faces, stressing about grades and classes, and who kissed who's boyfriend" she droned on with a pout, "i only pretend to care about any of that for my dad's sake." tori confessed, knowing how her father insisted on her getting into a good university and going off to pursue a higher education, like he'd done, and her grandparents had done, and everyone before them. "there's so much out there jake and i want a taste of it. all of it." she says, eyes glazed and swept up in places that were far beyond toronto. that was the thing about having everything handed to you from an early age, it was easy to become bored with, easy to make you yearn to experience everything that you'd never had the chance to be without. it was then that she felt the car come to a stop, and the clicking of her seatbelt coincided with the break of her reverie. "now for the afterparty" she announced, hopping down from the truck onto the pavement of his driveway.
jake: "see, this is why i'm skipping out on college.", jake admitted with a shrug. he knew the feeling that tori was talking about all too well as he continued to drive. that feeling of something more being out there for him to explore, calling to him, was why he loved nature so much. "i get it, it's a big world. i mean, i wanna make my mark building and designing homes for like, the kardashian kids and be somebody's goofy dad and husband and all that. but there's no reason i can't backpack across asia..or just do blow at a nightclub before that.", he told her, flashing a small grin as he parked into his driveway. he carefully exited the truck, making sure not to slip, as he grabbed his things and walked with her inside. "folks won't be back until tomorrow, so make yourself comfortable. i got food, drinks, whatever you can find in the kitchen, help yourself. just let me go get something upstairs." jake replied as he set his things down and headed upstairs to his room, quickly finding a fresh baggie of coke to do.

tori: their song ends and she glances at jake with a million different things in her brown irises as she listens to his offer, his little slip prompting little more than a giggle. "lead the way" she told him with a confident nod of her head, not concerned with the late hour, or the girls she'd spent the rest of the night partying with. she'd catch up with them later, surely they'd understand. the brunette beauty followed him out, hands running smooth over the collective goosebumps that gathered on her skin. that was the thing about going out in the winter, the outside was freezing, but between the warm bodies and dancing and grey goose martinis the inside could have you burning up, slick with sweat. she hopped into his passenger's seat, crossing her legs daintily at the ankle and glancing around, noticing this was her first time actually seeing the inside of the truck that had been parked outside of her parent's house countless days prior. "what if we never had to go back to school?" she asks wistfully with a little smile on her face, head tilting back against the headrest as her chest rises and falls with every cool breath she sucks in.
jake: "most excellent, my parents are over my aunt's so we'll be fine!", he replied with a smile as he grabbed his coat, feeling a little silly about bringing it now that he felt so hot and was sweating. he was still high, but he was less at his peak of being a ball of energy and more on an even tilt, able to think clearly about the consequences of his actions but without a care except for the moment. he paid his tab and headed outside with her, getting inside the Martin Construction truck he'd held so dear for the past 2 years. he started to drive, glancing out at the snowy road as he listened to her question. "then we could do all the cool shit i talked about doing. thankfully, i've only got a few months left until i'm free to do whatever.", he spoke happily, knowing he'd be free to live his life however he pleased once june hit. "you've only got a year left, it's not so bad.", he said glancing over at her.

tori: she smiles a radiant smile as jake whisks her off to the floor. and she suddenly felt so aware of everything. like the little sparkles that lingered on her skin from the sandalwood scented lotion she borrowed from one of the girls earlier, or the heavy scent of smoke in the air, or the way their hands hung loosely between them as he scoped out the best spot for them to dance. she laughed lightheartedly as jake dances and she follow suit, moving her hips, and twirling about. stopping in her rhythm only as she she snakes jake's hand around her waist, pressing tightly to him as her body grinds to the beat. it was thrilling, this mixture of alcohol and cocaine and jake martin on a hazy winter break night making her feel young and infinite. she could consider only for a moment were they crossing some kind of boundary, dancing so close together in a crazy corner of durham. but the thought was fleeting as the beat dropped and she decided ultimately that it was all harmless fun.
jake: watched her dance with a smile as she danced, happy that she was feeling good and enjoying herself as much as he was. he went back to dancing, flailing his arms in the air as his high started to reach its peak. he started to dance off on his own in fact, almost lost in himself, unless she brought him close, his arm around her waist as her body pressed tightly to his. he didn't know if it was the bright lights, the smell of her lotion, or how her backside pressed tightly against his lower body, but he was becoming more aware of what was actually happening, his body included. he wasn't sure what to think of it, but he figured it was just a dance at a club. it couldn't hurt anybody, right? when the music stop, jake slightly came to his senses, putting his smile back. "good stuff! like../really/ good stuff, heh. you wanna do some more at my place?", he asked her, before his eyes widened slightly at the implication. "Uh, I meant..you know, some lines! i've got another stash in my truck! but if you've got somewhere to be, it's cool!"
