"What are you making?" She asked startling him causing him to hit his head against the door, he cringed at the pain.
"Ow! Uh chicken with a little spanish rice on the side" He said gently rubbing his wounded head, to busy thinking about the pain he didn't once look at her to realize what she was wearing till she walked over to him to help out. "Um...You have no clothes on" He said nervously.
"Yes I do!" She stated looking down at her outfit.
"Your wearing a bra and panties" He said keeping his eyes off of her half naked body.
"Well what do you expect? My foster mom only bought me one outfit and It's dirty, I have no other clothes" She said in despair.
"Well how about this? I'll lend you some money so you can buy some clothes and When you eventually find a job you can pay me back?" She smiled at the thought of this, finally she'd be able to wearing something other then those tattered capri's and dirty white tank top.
"You'd do that for me? I mean you just met me and You've already given me so much" She said as excitement ran through her body.
"I know but, there was a time in my life I needed someone to help me out and No one was there, so I promised myself the next person I encountered I'd do all I could to help them out in their time of need and That person happens to be you" She smiled at his kindness.
"You don't even know my name and I don't know yours and Your willing to just shell out money like it's nothin'" He slowly drained the water out of the hot pan.
"Yeah! And It's Tommy, Tommy Quincy" She liked his name.
"It's Jude, Jude Harrison" Tommy smiled back at her taking the finished chicken out of the pan and Placing it on a plate.
"Dinner's served, Jude" She smiled and Followed him to the dinning area. They say across from eachother at his huge black and Silver table. Jude ate quickly barely chewing everything completely.
"Whoa! Where's the fire Jude?"He asked pulling her plate away. She looked up and Smiled, food covering her teeth.
"Don't think I'm crazy or nothin' but this is really the first time I've ever aten a good meal" Tommy look at her in shock.
"What do you mean?" He studdered out, Jude looked at him ashamed.
"My foster mom never really fed me, it was always dig around and Eat what you could find" Jude dropped her fork and Looked at her feet.
"That's horrible Jude" He said softly as he gently rubbed her shoulder.
"Yeah I know, you'd think hey the bitch is getting paid the least she could do is feed me right? Psh! I was wrong" Tears began to well up in Jude's eyes thinking about her past.
"Well it's fine here, la mia casa la sua casa" Jude looked at him with confusion on her face.
"Excuse me?" She laughed out, Tommy smiled back at her.
"It means 'my house is your house' you can do what you want here Jude" Jude looked down and Let the tears fall.
"First time anyways ever made me really feel like I'm home, it's weird in a good way" He wiped away her tears as he looked in her eyes.
"From now on, I'm here to protect you and To help you Jude" She looked back into his eyes and Realized he meant it.
"Thanks Tommy, I really do mean it" A soft smile crossed her face as she looked at him.
"Let's eat before it gets cold"
