As I drove back to my huge lonely London apartment I felt even worse than I usually did. There was nobody here with me. No Tommy. No Sadie. The usual tears came back as walked into my home. I lay on the couch crying for hours until my phone vibrated. I sniffed and looked at the phone. It wasn't a familiar number.
"Hello" I answered.
"Jude is that you, you sound horrible"
"Tommy?!"
"Yep"
"How are you doing?"
"Fine I guess, better than you, what's going on over there?"
"Nothing I'm just crying"
"Why"
"Because I screwed up everything, me, you we were perfect together and I let my head get in the way of my heart and I'm so sorry"
"Jude I broke your heart over and over again, it was bound to come back and bite me"
"Don't turn this around and blame yourself"
Suddenly the tears came back and welled up in my eyes causing a lump in my throat. Tommy was turning this around. He managed to find a way to blame himself, when this whole thing was my fault.
"Jude, are you still there?"
"Yeah"
"Look I know that things are kind of weird between us, but we'll get through it'
"Tommy I'm sorry I miss you, not waking up in your arms, having you here, it's just not the same, I mean I can't even write a song"
"Well one day we might be able to fix whatever happened"
Suddenly my doorbell rang. Who can this possibly be? At the worst possible time. I ran to open the door so I could finish my conversation with Tommy. When I opened the door, he was standing there with the crooked smile I loved.
"Tommy" I screamed, jumping into his arms. He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling my body closer to his. I felt his warm chest against. I pulled back and looked into his lovely blue eyes.
"I missed you sooo much girl"
"I missed you too, I love you Tommy"
I kissed him. I was expecting to pull away, but Tommy intensified the kiss. He pulled me closer to him, molding my body to fit his. Our lips moved together perfectly. His were gentle and warm against mine, as his breath began to fill my head. I was the one who had to pull away from him.
"Wow' I said still trying to catch my breath.
"Yeah, distance makes the heart grow fonder, so how's recording coming?"
"Well, it's not actually going anywhere, we're still hammering something's out, but how did you get here?"
"I actually got out of my contract with Darius"
"Really, that's great"
"Yeah, well Nicola called me and she said that you weren't doing to great, plus she was looking for a producer and well I'm her guy"
I wrapped my arms around him again. Everything that was going on was too good to be true. I had Tommy back. as the love of my life and as my inspiration. Maybe finally I could get some work done. My fingers intertwined with Tommy's as I pulled him towards the living room.
"Wow girl, this is some apartment you've got here"
"Thanks, it was starting to feel empty though"
"That's what I'm here for"
"You want a tour?"
"Sure"
I pulled him all around the house and we stopped in front of my, well our bedroom. Suddenly and simultaneously our stomachs growled, completely ruining the moment.
"I'll cook something"
"Um, Jude I don't think you'll be cooking tonight, let's go out, you could show me around London"
"Okay"
