Pure, honest think called love...
Tommy swallowed hard. He couldn't take his eyes off of her lips.
"Because I think…I think…" He gasped when he felt Jude's hands all over his back, pulling him closer to her body. Her scent, creamy skin and plumb lips filled his senses and blocked his thoughts. Still, he tried to stay in his right mind.
"We should… get to know… each other… better" he managed to say as he stroked her left breast, causing her to gasp. Obviously his thoughts weren't controlling his actions.
Jude's hand roamed up to Tommy's head and pulled him towards her, closing the gasp between them and finally connecting their lips in a heated, but at the same time tender kiss. Tommy was about to pull away for air when Jude smiled against his lips.
"Okay. Shot me" she murmured as she slid her hand down Tommy's shirt.
Tommy tried to form a coherent question, but it was almost impossible with Jude's lips on his earlobe and her hands wandering up and down his chest. The rain hit the car forcefully, filling the silence.
"Mmm…what do you like to do?" he finally managed to ask, though he was being honest. He really wanted to know what she liked to do, what kind of things moved her.
Jude giggled as Tommy's hand went under the silk material of her bra and squeezed her breast, enjoying the feeling of her skin. She moaned to his touch, a sound she didn't know she could make. Still, she tried not to lose the trail of her thoughts and respond to Tommy's question.
"I sing, play the guitar and write my own songs" he smiled and kissed her hard on the lips as she undid the buttons of his shirt, one by one "How about you?"
Tommy could barely hear her, he was lost in the new feelings he was experimenting. he had a lot women in his life, but he never felt like he owned them just by kissing them. He felt possessed, satisfied and at the same time craving for her. For another caress. For another kiss.
"I'm a photographer…and I play the piano…" he responded, breathing heavily.
Jude pulled away and caught her breath as she looked at Tommy's chest. That wasn't the body of a photographer, she thought before she pulled out his shirt and threw it at the back of the car. Tommy claimed her lips as his as she switched positions, so she was on top now. Straddling him with her legs around him, she rested her hands over his bare chest and pulled away from their kiss just to say one word.
"Family?"
Their lips connected again as Tommy pulled out her shirt and then rested his hand on her bare legs. It was hard for him to talk about that topic, but with Jude he felt different. He wouldn't keep a secret from her. Never.
"My parents died when I was a kid, so my Grandmother, my dad's mom, took care of me" a dark shadow in Jude's eyes made him realize that she understood him. He cleared his throat and continued. "She died two years ago"
Jude looked into his eyes as she caressed his cheek and kissed him softly, showing him how much she cared. Tommy smiled and deepened the kiss. His hands went up her back until they reached the clasp of her bra.
"You?"
Tommy's lips traveled to her neck as she moved her head so he could have better access. His lips over her skin sent shivers up her spine.
"Mom and dad got divorced a few months ago. Dad is working in New York and mom got married again and left. My sister and her boyfriend live in Calgary…that's where I'm going"
Tommy stopped kissing her collarbone and looked up at her, smirking.
"You've just ruined my next question"
Jude rolled her eyes as he took her by the waist and changed positions. He was on top of her again.
"It's your turn then" she said, looking as he unclasped her bra and threw it across the car "Where are you going and who is looking for you?"
Tommy was about to assault her breast, but her question stopped him. He looked up at her, totally serious.
"I don't know where I'm going" he confessed as he looked into Jude's eyes. He hesitated for a moment and then took a deep breath. "By now, there must be a lot of people looking for me. To kill me"
Jude stared at him, her eyes full of concern.
"Why? What did you do?" she asked in a whisper, though it was pretty obvious that she didn't want to hear the answer.
Tommy thought for a moment. He couldn't lie to her; he couldn't lie to the most precious creature on the face of earth, and less when she was looking at him like that.
"I…I dumped a girl"
Jude's body tensed again and, automatically she pulled Tommy away, her eyes full of anger.
"What!?"
Tommy looked down as he sat on the driver's seat again, leaving a very angry Jude on the copilot seat. She looked at him, waiting for an explanation. He cleared his throat and sighed.
"I had to marry her today…and I didn't"
Jude didn't say a word. She stayed silent, thinking for a moment. Tommy couldn't help but look at her, mesmerized. Maybe she hasn't realized yet, but she was naked…except for the white panties that covered her most private area.
"So…you used her and dumped her…" she suddenly said, more to herself than to Tommy. Tommy had to mentally slap himself to stop looking at her and defend himself
"No Jude! It's not like it sounds!"
Jude looked down as she crossed her arms over her chest, to cover her bare breasts. Tommy didn't know what else to say. He had just met her, but he felt like she had to forgive him for every mistake he had made in his life, that he had to apologize.
"I'm sorry" escaped from his mouth, in the most pure, honest way.
Jude looked at him, astonished.
"Sorry?!" she couldn't believe his words. It was the first time that someone asked for her forgiveness. Why should she forgive him? He had done that before they had met. Actually, his life time was not comparable to his "meeting Jude" time. She looked at him again. He was upset. "I don't know Tommy…"
He raised his eyes from the floor to her and stared at her quizzically.
"You don't know what?"
She stayed silent again, looking for the right words. She was feeling something strange and was scared to say it out loud.
"I don't know what to think! You could do the same thing to me!"
Tommy opened his eyes wide as he took her hand.
"I wouldn't…" Jude pulled away and avoided his eyes. He sighed "Jude, I never loved her. Her father was forcing me to marry her"
"Please Tommy! You're an adult! Nobody can force you to do anything"
Tommy laughed weakly.
"Well, he can" he paused for a moment, not knowing whether to tell her everything or not "He can because he's a criminal"
Jude immediately turned her head around and looked at him, in complete state of shock. Tommy smiled.
"It was my life or my freedom. And I like oxygen, you know?"
Jude smiled, but she was horrified. How did she get into something like this? She was totally puzzled, but, for some reason, she wasn't scared at all…or maybe she was scared, but not of him.
"But…why did you change your mind?" she asked curiously. One of the million of question she had.
Tommy looked at her and for the first time, she saw fear in his eyes. He took her hand again and stared into her eyes.
"Promise me you won't freak out and won't call me psycho" he pleaded as he kissed her hand softly.
Jude smiled warmly as she stroke his hair.
"Promise"
He let go of her hand and, with another deep breath, proceeded to tell her the story.
"Okay…I was on my way to the church, when I looked through the mirror and…I saw you" he looked into her eyes, trying to find the slightest sign of fear. He didn't find it, so he continued "I thought you were the more precious thing I had ever seen…and then…well, you know the rest"
Jude's jaw dropped and stayed there, frozen and speechless for a while.
"So you dumped your fiancée because you saw me?!" Jude half screamed, looking at him in disbelief. A smile appeared across her face "You're insane!"
Tommy smirked, knowing that she wasn't scared at all.
"You promised you wouldn't call me psycho"
She hit him playfully on the arm, laughing.
"But you are!"
"Jude!"
"Okay, a hot psycho...but that doesn't change anything at all. I still hate you"
The smile on Tommy's face faded immediately. Just the thought of her hating him was almost unbearable.
"Why?"
There was an uncomfortable silence, filled again by the drops of water hitting the car. It was still raining outside, he thought. Before he could notice, Jude's face was in front of his as her lips crashed against his own lips.
"Because you drove me crazy" she murmured against his lips, gasping for air "After all you have just said, I should be running away from you, completely frightened"
Tommy pulled away to look into her eyes, but she kissed him again, as hard as she could.
"But I didn't do it. And I won't" she hushed as she kissed him desperately "And I don't care if the whole mafia is coming after us. Because I've got you next to me"
Tommy laughed blissfully as he kissed her back.
"Are you aware of the fact we've just met?" Tommy suddenly asked, noticing the fact that he was kissing at woman he barely knew, but at the same time knew better than anyone.
Jude smiled as she looked at him flirty.
"Are you?"
He grabbed her chin and looked into her eyes, so she wouldn't have doubts about what he was about to say.
"Jude, I've knew you for 4 hours and I already want to spend the rest of my life with you"
Jude felt as she melted when she heard those words coming from his mouth. The funny thing was that she felt the same way. She had just met him, but couldn't conceive her life without him. Giving him a last tender kiss she pulled away from him and went back to her seat, though she never let go of his hand.
"Okay then. Let's do it…" she said excitedly, smiling happily.
"What?"
Jude raised an eyebrow.
"No...We're not doing this" she pointed at him and then at herself as she smiled "I won't lose my virginity in the front seat of a car"
Tommy looked at her in state of shock. She was a virgin? ...How much better could get this?. He smirked at her and kissed her cheek.
"What about the back seat?" he proposed her, obviously joking
Jude glared at him, amused and hit him playfully on the top of the head.
"Shut up!"
Tommy rested his hand on her bare leg. The electricity of his touch caused Jude to realize that she was almost naked, in front of Tommy. Her face turned completely red.
"What's wrong?" Tommy asked when he felt as Jude's body tensed.
She looked down and laughed.
"Could you please turn around?...I want to get dressed, because apparently, someone has undress me as his new hobby"
Tommy rolled his eyes, and giving her a last peck on the lips, went back to his seat and looked in the opposite direction. Suddenly the wide smile disappeared as he adopted a serious expression.
"By the way...just curious...How old are you?"
