Jude picked at one of the loose treads on the white couch as Tommy's fingers kept running through her hair. The TV was on though the news had never really interested Jude to be honest.
"Anyone die?" asked Jude picking at the thread idly while laying in front of Tommy.
"No" sighed Tommy.
"Anyone one we know mentioned?" asked Jude peering up at Tommy.
"No" sighed Tommy again looking down at Jude. A small smile crept its way across her face at the sight of his clear blue eyes looking down at her.
"So basically nothing happened today" said Jude bluntly.
A grin split across Tommy's face "You can be such a teenager Harrison" Tommy said shaking his head.
"Hey!" said Jude pointing her finger at Tommy "Nineteen, next year I'm twenty".
"Uh in like a year minus two weeks" said Tommy sarcastically.
"Well" smiled Jude sitting up and looking at Tommy "I always was bad at math" she added in a whisper, leaning in and kissing him painfully soft.
"Six percent as a final grade does often mean bad" grinned Tommy in to the kiss. Jude smacked him on the arm but didn't move away.
"That was freshmen year" she whispered into his lips "You never even took geometry".
"Way to rub it in" Tommy breathed into Jude's lips wrapping his arms up around Jude's head and holding her closer. Jude climbed on top of Tommy's lap and smiled into the kiss. "I can feel you smiling" he whispered.
"I'm exercising silence" grinned Jude snaking her arms around Tommy's neck.
"And that's all for tonight on TNB, please tune in with us tomorrow night at ten for the evening news. So this is Daren Smith saying 'good night Toronto'" came the newscaster's voice through the TV.
Jude pulled out of Tommy's arms and grinned at him as he eyed her. "Well good night" sighed Jude stretching her arms up over her head and faking a yawn.
"Jude" Tommy whined pulling one of her arms so that she couldn't walk away.
"What?" smiled Jude "the news is over".
"So?" said Tommy pulling Jude closer.
"So I'm tired" sighed Jude playfully, attempting to stand.
"You're killing me Harrison" whined Tommy.
"Why?" whispered Jude leaning closer to Tommy again and placing another slow kiss on his lips before pulling away again.
"Don't go" Tommy whispered as Jude stood and started to walk around the couch. Her fingers slid out of his grasp and danced across his skin for a moment before she disappeared into the depths of the bedroom.
Tommy laid there for a moment on the couch before sitting up and clicking off the TV and following Jude's path into the bed room. The bathroom light was on and the sink could be heard running inside. Tommy shuffled over to the bed and started to pull down the white sheets and downy comforter on the king sized bed. Tommy slid into the bed in his sweatpants and t-shirt and waited for Jude to come out. The bathroom light clicked off and the room became a sea of black, where the only sign of Jude's presence was the soft footsteps winding through the darkness and then the shift of the blankets as she climbed into bed next to him.
Tommy laid there in the darkness staring up at the ceiling till he felt the sheets shift again and Jude's warm body pressed itself against his. "Good night" came her soft voice and then a delicate kiss landed on his cheek.
"Night" Tommy whispered and he felt Jude's chin rest in the notch between his collarbone and his neck like so many other nights before.
"Love you" came her sweet murmur as she started to slide off into impending drowsiness.
"I love you too" whispered Tommy and kissed Jude's forehead. His gaze locked on her closed eyes and perfectly parted mouth as her breath slowed to a peaceful slumber. "I love you Jude" Tommy whispered again and placed one more delicate kiss on her forehead and then closed his eyes just as the smallest grin slid across Jude's face.
Author Note:
Tomorrow Jude and Tommy are working at G-Major...too bad so is Tommy and Karen, Tommy and Milo, and whoever else those dumb Instant Star hopefuls were that made Jude's skin want to crawl at the mere idea of them spending late nights and long hours close to Tommy. Being famous is all about living the dream...so why does this feel like the time bomb that has been waiting to destroy everything in both hers and Tommy's wake?
