CHAPTER 7
"I really am sorry about that earlier. I honestly didn't think they would know where I was tonight." Tommy said apologetically.
"Do they always follow you like that? Constantly asking all those questions?"
"It's sometimes seems like it. I mean even when I think I'm alone I find a picture of a private moment on the cover of the rags. You get used to it though. They're normally a lot more respectful, asking for a picture and then letting you go on your way. The questions only come when something," he paused and turned, smiling at Jude, "or someone new is in my life." They continued walking.
"Look, Tom, I like you, I really do. But, I don't know if I can handle going through that again." Jude wrapped her arms around herself for warmth. "I had a really nice time tonight, but, I don't know, I'm sorry. I should go." Jude started to walk back in the direction of the car.
Tommy was speechless and confused. No one had ever affected him like this before. He wouldn't jump to saying he was in love, but he was definitely starting to fall. He couldn't understand why she was so resistant, especially when he knew she felt something when they touched.
She couldn't believe she'd just walked away from him. 'This is for the best,' she kept telling herself.
He shook his head knowing he had to act. He ran up to catch up with her. He grabbed her by the waist and turned her to him. "I don't think I can accept that." He said closing the gap between them and kissing her. It was a kiss filled with urgency and passion; a plea from his heart. He pulled away only to catch his breath. He kissed her again, this time softer, still heated but more chaste. "Please Jude, give me the week to show you that my life isn't always such a mess. Just the week. After that you can walk away and I'll never bother you again."
