Jade's Pov.

"Jade, You're going to be late for your audition" Tori yelled from the bathroom at me.

"No I won't, Ill be out of here in a minute" I snapped back.

"Are you nervous, it's your first in 8 years?"

I grabbed my bag with the information for my audition and checked myself in the mirror.

"I don't care I just want to get back into the game, See you honey, love you" I called out as I started out the door.

I could hear Tori's voice as I closed the door to our apartment "Love you too Jade"

As I started off to my first audition in 8 years I couldn't help but feel good. Currently I am on administrative desk duty. Tori doesn't want me walking the streets as a cop. Her mom is a cop's wife and she knows how stressful it is.

I have a bunch of screen plays finished. Once Tori and I got back together, I started writing and didn't stop. One script which is about a goody goody girl that falls for a mean bitchy Goth chick has gotten some interest from a producer friend of Becks.. Tori likes to describe it as the story about the Bitchy Goth chick that falls for the goody goody girl. Strangely enough, they end up happy together, go figure.

I made it to the subway and sat down letting my mind drift for a few minutes while on the train.

If my acting and screen writing take off I can quit the police department for good. It's an ok job but not quite me. Tori would be very happy about that, and I like making her happy.

Tonight it's Friday night and I am going to ask Tori Vega to marry me. We have been apart too long, I want to be her wife more than anything. I have a whole romantic evening planned, Nice dinner, carriage ride, flowers, everything. She will practically melt with happiness. Then I will get down on my knees and ask her to marry me. I would rather ask her in a haunted house or a dungeon but that's just me.

I know she found the ring, if Tori gets anymore giddy about it she's going to burst. I think she actually likes knowing I'm going to propose. She doesn't know about our plans tonight. She thinks we are going out to dinner with Cat and Beck but I lied. Cat is due very soon. They are having a girl and her name will be Jadelyn Victoria Oliver in honor of Tori and I. I happen to like that name very much.

I did point out to Beck that you will be naming your daughter after your ex girlfriend. I assured him most women would not like that. Beck pointed out that Cat is not most women. I agreed with him completely.

I got off the subway and made my way to where the auditions were taking place. Ironically I am reading for a part in a TV episode, as a cop no less. I've been practicing with Tori for the last few weeks getting back into acting. Though I was acting the entire time I was Karen. I am quite nervous; the butterflies are bouncing all over the inside of my stomach. .

After much waiting in line I finally make it into the room where the Director and two others are sitting. They look a bit board. I walk up to the table and mentally prepare myself for my first audition in 8 years. It's only a small part but you have to start somewhere.

"My name is Jade West, and I will be reading for the part of Detective Stewart. Just let me know when I can begin."

Tori's Pov

If Jade doesn't ask me to marry her by Saturday I will pin that raven haired, pale skinned Goth girl down to the ground and kiss her until she does. I found the ring two days ago, it's beautiful.

She has an audition today. I have rehearsals for a big Broadway musical I'm in. I landed a major part in it. I have two solo numbers and Jade is looking forward to seeing me on stage again. We are going out to dinner with Cat and Beck tonight. Cat can't wait for her baby to come.

We got a bigger place and moved in a few months ago. Things are going well, it took a little bit for the two of us to get fully back in sync but we are happy as clams together. I like making her happy. We were even happier when Jade got her strength back and we have been making up for 8 years of missed sex ever since.

I asked Jade if she was worried about they guy her father testified against, her being Jade West again. She said she didn't care. But, she did look him up in the police database. He died of a heart attack in prison 4 years ago and his company went totally bankrupt. No danger there.

Jade is almost totally healed, now. She can now tell when it will rain before it does. Her shoulder will ache. She will always be my angel who came to my rescue in more ways than one. In the end we rescued each other.

All is still pretty right with the Universe…

Jade's Pov

I think I got the part, Tori will be happy. They seemed to really like my audition. They said I brought a sense of realism to the role. They hinted that the role itself could be a reoccurring one if the actor is well received. I just need to make a few calls to confirm all my arrangements are ready for tonight. A night so disgustingly utterly romantic Tori will be happy for a month which makes me happy too. I just want to see the look in her eyes when I ask her to marry me. I'll try not to cry when she says yes though I probably will.

I do have a confession to make. When I hid the ring a few days ago, I didn't hide it very well and I did that on purpose. I put it in a place where it would be hidden but she would almost certainly find it.

Knowing that I was going to ask her to marry me would drive her, a little crazy. That and it builds up the excitement a bit.

I know what you're thinking.

Jade that's mean, don't you love Tori?

Mean would be not giving her the ring at all and that ring will be on her finger tonight.

Of course I love Tori Vega, she is the most sexy, beautiful, wonderful woman I know and I don't want to be with anyone else ever. I love her with all my heart and want to spend the rest of my life making her deliriously happy. I even want to give her a baby, I'm that nuts about her. I am literally not complete without that Latina.

I'll even watch the notebook with her. I hate "The Notebook" It would be much better if the gal didn't remember, now would be a nice depressing ending.

So why do I want to make Tori a little crazy when I'm insanely in love with her?

Because I'm Jade West, that's why…..

Ok, Jade is having a bit of fun with Tori by not hiding the ring very well. I debated leaving that part in or not. In the end I decided to let Jade have her bit of fun and left that part in. It was also to symbolize that she is not 100% back to her old self. I hope you all thought it wasn't too mean. I guessed that it was something that Jade might do.

I would like to thank everyone who reviewed my Story. I am glad you enjoyed it. I tried to make something a little different. Focusing on not the physical bonds between Jade and Tori but the ones that transcend that. How they literally not complete without each other and how they found each other again.
