Beck's Problem

The day before the rehearsals for Sikowitz's new play, the gang was at Tori's house to decide on the cast together. Instead of holding formal auditions, their teacher had left choosing the star up to themselves.

"So, what? Are you saying I can't act?" Jade demanded, glaring daggers at Tori. She was currently sitting next to Beck and was leaning against him. While the two girls were yelling, Cat was sitting on the floor and making a house for her purple giraffe stuffed animal out of three of the Vega's couch pillows.

"No!" Tori shouted, sighing in frustration. "I just think that there's no one here better suited to play a…" she glanced at the play description and read off the bit about the lead role, "'care-free, silly, and slightly unaware' girl stuck in the middle of the woods than Cat!"

"But the entire point of acting is that you're acting," Jade shot back. "I can play a 'care-free, silly, and slightly unaware' girl stuck in the middle of the woods if I want to!" She leaned against the couch, glancing between the rest of them for support.

"If you really think so then only the 'slightly unaware' part would be correct," Rex commented. Jade, fuming, pulled him off of Robbie's arm and tossed him into the sink. Robbie ran after him after he heard the water in the sink slosh around from the puppet falling in it. Cat gasped, accidentally knocking over her pillow house.

"It doesn't matter what my personality is," Jade said. "Movies would be pretty boring if actors could only play parts that matched their personality. Robbie would only be able to play freaky weirdos and Cat…" She glanced at the redhead, who was waiting expectantly for her insult. "..wouldn't be cast." Cat gasped again.

"Cast for what?" Trina called from the top of the stairs.

"No one likes you!" Jade screamed.

"Oh, shut up, Jade!" Trina yelled, stomping down to the living room. "Plenty of people like me!" She put her hands on Beck's shoulders. "You like me, right Becky?" she asked, interrupting Beck before he could object. "And again, cast for what?" she demanded.

Jade hopped onto Beck's lap, straddling his knees and pulling Trina off of him. She grabbed a pair of scissors from her pocket and pointed them at Trina. "A cast for your neck if you don't get your hands off of him!"

"Jade!" Trina, Tori, Andre, and Cat said at the same time. Beck was busy avoiding staring at her for modesty's sake. He felt something stir in him with Jade's protectiveness and the fact that her chest was almost up against his face.

"What? It's her fault for always going after Beck." She leaned over Beck to shout at Trina, still holding the scissors. "He's taken, pre-turd!" Beck looked up at her, surprised by her sudden aggressiveness. It was normal for her to get jealous but rarely would she whip out her scissors.

"God! Okay!" Trina said while standing up and brushing herself off. "You don't have to be so scary."

"I'll be scary if I want to," Jade sneered from on her knees, pressing herself against Beck to get closer to Trina. Beck quickly turned his head to the side, blushing slightly.

"Come on, Jade," Beck said nervously, grabbing her hips to try to guide her off of him. He changed his voice to a whisper. "Just get off." Jade, still focused on Trina and not paying attention to Beck, sat down on Beck's lap from her previous position hovering above him. She stared at Beck in shock when she felt something hard meet her between her legs.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Jade said back, flustered. She rolled off of him to sit on the couch next to him. Beck grabbed a pillow as soon as she was gone and placed it casually on his legs. The rest of the gang was completely clueless as to what had just happened.

"What?" Cat asked, breaking the silence. "What's the matter, Jade?"

"Nothing," Jade said quickly, Beck nodding in agreement.

"I've never seen you look, well, not terrifying," Andre said. Jade spun her scissors around and snipped them in his direction. Beck laughed and breathed in deeply, trying to get ahold of his… problem. His sudden awareness of Jade's almost see-through black sweater wasn't helping either so he just looked away. Contrary to what many might assume at school, he'd never actually seen what was under it. Neither of them had been with anyone that way despite the rumors of them being into BDSM or whatever people suspected that week.

"Shut it, Andre," she threatened and he put up his hands in defense. Robbie, standing by the sink and having just finished wringing out the water from Rex, looked back and forth between Beck's flushed face and the pillow on his lap. His eyes lit up with realization.

A soggy Rex spoke, "Wait, does Beck have a b-" He was interrupted by Beck's pillow being chucked at him. It missed him and skidded across the kitchen.

Tori exhaled in frustration. "Beck, please don't toss my stuff." Beck muttered a quick apology and started to stand up to grab the pillow for her. But he quickly realized that walking across the room wasn't a great idea at the moment. The only other pillows in the room were the ones Cat was playing with.

"Jade!" he hissed, panicking and gesturing the rather large bulge in his shorts. Her eyes widened and she glanced around. Someone was definitely going to notice, namely Trina. Not having anything else to cover himself with, Beck grabbed his girlfriend by the waist and placed her on his lap.

"Oh, my-" Jade started, turning her head to look at him. He looked at her apologetically and she avoided eye contact, starting to feel rather excited herself. She was only wearing a thin pair of shorts underneath her skirt so she could feel everything. Beck, on the other hand, knew he'd messed up; now that he was using Jade as his replacement for the pillow, there was no way he'd ever be able to calm down.

"AS I WAS SAYING," Rex continued. "I think Beck is stressed because Jade made him-" Not having anything else to throw, Jade screamed and tried to stand up but Beck grabbed her and pulled her back down. A small noise came out of his mouth as he pulled her back against him.

"Beck are you okay?" Cat asked innocently.

"Uh, yeah I'm good," Beck responded, waving his arm at her and trying to divert the attention back to her. "How's your house going, C-Cat?"

"C-Cat," Cat repeated, giggling. "St-stutterer."

Beck chuckled nervously, trying to distract himself from Jade. "So, are you done with Mr. Purple's house?"

"Well, I only have three pillows. I need four!" she ranted, throwing her arms in the air. "Beck, can you grab the one you threw for me?"

"Uh," he started. "Maybe, you could just make it a three-sided house?"

"It is a three-sided house! The fourth is for the roof!"

"Ah, well, this way he can see the-" he groaned quietly when Jade moved her hips in a subtle circle, testing out his responses. "-stars."

"Ugh, I'll get it for you," Tori said, stomping over to the kitchen and tossing the pillow to Cat. "Why can't we just figure out the parts for the play like we were planning to?"

"Thanks." She shot a quick glare at Beck for refusing to help but put it on top of the other three pillows anyway. "Tori, why don't you just pick the lead yourself?"

"I want you to be the lead, Cat!" Tori yelled. "But Jade here wants to be it."

Beck spoke up. "Jade, don't you think that you should let Cat play the part? She'd be perfect at-" He stopped again when Jade started spreading her legs over him, letting him press right against her warm- "Nevermind. You should play her." She smiled wickedly over her shoulder at him and he rolled his eyes.

"Thanks."

"Jade…" he warned her.

"What?" she whispered in his ear, batting her eyes. "Don't you like feeling me up against your-" Beck's eyes widened and he slammed his hand over her mouth.

"Here, I know Sikowitz wants us to choose but we could just hold a mini audition here. Read off a bit of the script and we can all vote on the winner," Tori suggested.

"As long as Jade doesn't kill me if she loses," Cat said.

"No promises," Jade responded. "But good idea, Tori. For you."

Tori ignored the remark and handed the script to Cat who squealed in excitement. "Kay kay! I'll read it now," she said. Everyone leaned in to pay attention except for Beck, who was still trying to hold Jade still. He had wrapped his arms around her waist which, while it did keep her from moving, also meant he had to feel her curves which he had never realized were so dramatic prior to then. His situation between the two's bodies was getting worse and worse.

Cat began her monologue. She put her hand up to her ear to pretend it was a phone and started speaking. Jade and Beck weren't really paying attention until near the end. "...I'm sorry for chasing those butterflies away from the trail when I was hiking." Cat's face broke out of the sorrowful look for a second to smile about the idea of butterflies. "I know you told me not to do that. But I've been sitting on this rock for what seems like forever! I'm soaking wet from the rain and I can't stop shaking from the cold. I mean, look around!" She gestured with her arm. "Oh, wait. You can't see through a voicemail. But everywhere there's just trees, trees, and more trees!"

Cat stood up and bowed and everyone politely clapped. Tori took the script from Cat and handed it to Tori. "Want to get off of Beck's lap to do the monologue?" Tori asked, a little uncomfortably.

Beck answered for her. "The monologue doesn't involve any movement, right? She can just stay here."

Rex started talking again. "And she can't get up because Beck's-"

"SHUT UP, REX!" Beck shouted, shocking everyone with the volume of his voice.

"Uhh… okay," Tori responded. "Let's start."

Jade patted Beck's knee. "I'm glad to know you want me here." She cleared her throat to start, suddenly hyper-aware of Beck's… pulsing… beneath her with everyone in the room's eyes on her. As she read out the script, no one seemed to notice anything wrong. That is until Jade was about halfway through. "...But I've been sitting on this rock for what seems like forever!" she cried, leaning back into Beck. He bit the inside of his cheek to stay quiet and silently cursed Jade. "I'm soaking wet," She was suddenly glad that she'd decided to wear a skirt that day because this way there was a good chance that Beck knew that what she'd said was true. Sure enough, she felt him twitch beneath her warmth. "...from the rain and I can't stop shaking from the cold," she continued, shaking a little for emphasis. Beck tilted his head back slightly, wanting nothing more than for everyone to leave the room so that he could take Jade right then. "I mean, look around!" Jade said, twisting her body quickly to point around the room. This time, the friction was too much.

Beck disguised his moan by speaking up loudly and interrupting Jade. He pulled out his Pear Phone and pretended to get a text. "Hey, sorry but I need to go home right n-now. Apparently, it's an emergency. Jade, you'd better come with if you want a ride." He stood up, keeping Jade in front of him to cover himself up.

"I'd love a ride," she told him suggestively.

"I bet you would," he muttered. "Bye, guys! Just give the part to Cat." Everyone gave their confused farewells and Beck speed walked to the door.

Before she left, Jade yelled, "Someone duct tape Rex's mouth shut, if you can!" She'd barely finished her sentence before Beck yanked her out the door. "Well, wasn't that fun?" she asked once they were outside.

With fire in his eyes, Beck grabbed her by the waist and slammed her into his car, kissing her with a passion she'd never seen in him before. She kissed him desperately back but broke away to speak, "We can't do this here."

For a second, Beck debated just banging her right then and there but just sighed and opened the door for her to get in the car. As soon as they were both situated, he took off speeding to his house.

"Someone's worked up," Jade commented finally getting to stare unabashedly at his arousal.

"Okay, explanation time. You know how my RV's heater broke?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, to avoid freezing to death, I've been sleeping in my parents' house again. My room's right across the hallway from theirs so I can't, you know." He gave her a look to avoid saying the words out loud and she rolled her eyes. "It's been three weeks and then tonight you just hopped on my lap and…" He glanced down.

"Sounds awful," Jade sympathized, placing her hand on his thigh and smirking.

"But," he said, smirking. "They're not home tonight."

Jade's signature grin crept up her face and her hand started moving up his thigh. "Well, then. What do you want to do?"

Hope y'all enjoyed! Leave me reviews and I'll write a part two :)
