Chapter 9 - Perfect

"You ready?" Tommy said.

"Ready as i can be," I said excitedly.

Tommy took off the blindfold and I opened my eyes. We were in a huge hotel room. There were candles all over the place. Rose petals showered the room. There was a bottle of red wine chilling on the table next to the king size bed.

"All this...for me? It's absolutely beautiful, Tommy."

"I'd do anything for you, Jude. I'm so sorry for hurting you, i never meant for that to happen. Please forgive me?" Tommy practically begged. It all makes sense now. The room, the flowers...it was all for me...

"Alright, Quincy...I forgive you, for tonight anyways," I smiled at him.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a hug that seemed to last forever. I was looking around and noticed the room had a balcony. Ooh, i gotta see the view...

I let him go and walked over to the sliding doors and pushed it open. OH MY GOSH!!! A HOT TUB, How sweet is that!!!

I felt his arms slide around my waist, "Wanna get in for a little bit," Tommy whispered in my ear.

"Umm duh! I'd love to, but i don't have anything to wear. And I'm not going in naked," I laughed.

"Damn, well...can't blame a man for tryin." My face fell and Tommy just started laughing. "I was just kidding Harrison. I came prepared. There's a bathing suit in the bathroom for you. I had to bribe Sadie into giving me one."

"Bribe??? What exactly did you have to do?" I questioned. I can only imagine with Sadie...

"The Truth?"

"No, Quincy, I want you to lie to me! Of course i want the truth." Sometimes he can be so dense...

"Okay, but if you tell anyone, and i mean anyone, i'll have to kill you," Tommy said.

"Deal. Now just tell me, it can't be that bad," I said with a giggle. Then again this is Sadie...

"Okay, well put it this way...I had to sing Pick Up the Pieces for her...bandanna and all..." Tommy mumbled as he shook he head.

All I could do was laugh. I tried really hard not to, but i couldn't help it.

"Alright, enough laughing. Just go get changed, girl." Tommy said smiling.

"Aww, ur no fun, Quincy!" I giggled as i walked away to the bathroom humming the tune to Pick Up the Pieces.

Tommy changed into his bathing suit, while she was in the bathroom. It was all black except for the white stripes going down each side. They hugged his body perfectly. After he was done he sat done on the bed, waiting. He looked over and saw her purse lying on the floor by the door. He walked over, opened it, and pull out her journal. Some things never change, she stills doesn't go anywhere without her journal...

He flipped through the pages until something caught his eye...

If you see him Tell him I wish him well.
How am I doing? Well sometimes, its hard to tell. I still miss him more than ever, but please don't say a word.
If you see him. If you see him.

The song wasn't finished, but he could tell it was about him. He read over the words and starting humming a tune...

I finished changing, and went to open the door, when i heard Tommy humming. When i walked out, i saw him reading my journal. I was about to start yelling, but that's when he looked up at me and smiled.

He walked over and placed my hand in his and starting dancing with me. He looked at me with those piercing blue eyes and started to sing. The thought of yelling didn't even cross my mind at this point. All I could do was listen to the sound of his sweet voice...

If you see her Tell her I'm doing fine And if you want to Say that I think of her from time to time. Ask her if she ever wonders where we both went wrong.
If you see her.
If you see her.

I still want her. (Tommy belted it out)

And I still need him so. (Jude)

I don't know why we let each other go. (Both)

If you see her, tell her the lights still on for her. (Tommy)

Nothings changed Deep down the fire still burns for him.

And even if it takes forever, say Ill still be here. If you see him.

If you see her.

If you see him.

If you see her.

We stared into eachother's eyes while we sang. At the end, he pulled me closer to him and slowly pressed his soft lips on mine. There was no thinking involved...i kiss him back.

It was the perfect kiss. My whole body started to tingle and I felt like i was floating on a cloud. It was tender and romantic. It was the greatest kiss ever. The taste of sweet red wine still lingered on my lips as we pulled apart for air.

"Wow," was all i could say, as i smiled.

"Wow is right." Tommy said as he brushed a piece of hair behind my ear.

He kissed my forehead, and held my hand as we walked outside to the hot tub. He held on to my waist and guided me into the tub, making sure i didn't fall.

"Stay warm. I'll be right back," then he ran inside the room. He came back out with two glasses of red wine for us.

Tommy handed me my glass and got in next to me. We sat there in silence for a little bit until he couldn't take it anymore...

"So...are we gonna talk about what happened?" He asked cautiously.

"Not tonight," i replied in a whisper as i laid my head back and closed my eyes remembering the events of the night.

"Okay...but Jude, just so you know, nothing in this world can make me take it back," Tommy said in a sincere tone.

I just smiled and finished my glass of wine.

About a half hour (of relaxing) later, I asked Tommy if he wanted to go inside and watch a movie. He agreed and we went back into the room to change.

We curled up in the bed together and started watching some movie. I was too tired to notice what it was.

"Are you falling asleep on me, girl?" Tommy asked my almost sleeping form.

I mumbled something incoherently and he just smiled. He held me closer and placed a soft kiss on the top of my head.

The last words I heard before I drifted away were Tommy's...

"Sweet dreams. I love you, girl."

Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It was so hard to write the ending, i couldn't stop giggling, lol. BTW, the drama hasn't even began to get started. If you want more, you know what to do...R & R Thanks!!!!
