"Do you think your parents will like me?" I ask finally.
We had been driving almost an hour in this lousy, small, rental car and this was the first time I had spoke.
"Of course they'll like you Jude. They'll love you." Tommy told me with a grin.
I smiled back.
Maybe this trip wasn't going to be so bad.
"I am going to make such a dork of myself in these." I said laughing and pinting to my ripped jeans.
"Do you want to buy something else?" Tommy asked.
"Will it give me a better first impriosin?" I asked back.
"Well-." Tommy started but I cut him off. He talked in that tone.
"Yes." I shot out.
"I wanna go shopping." I informed Tommy.
Only to get a slight chuckle from him.
It seemed like I tried on every dress in that store before I found one I really found one I liked. It was a red one and was V necked but not so far down. Then it had black strings in the back to tie up. Then it was long and flowed behind me.
"Jude? Are you done?" I heard Tommy voice from outside the dressing room.
"Just one more." I say back.
I could have sworn I heard him groaning. I walk out
and twirl around. My hair falls around my face.
"You like?" I ask Tommy. He doesn't respond.
"I love." Tommy says stunned.
"Pick your jaw off up the ground Quincy." I say lauging.
I love the effect it had on him.
"We'll take this one. " I say the the woman who had been helping us out.
"Here we are." Tommy says pulling up to a large mansion.
"Tommy? You lived here. In this place? For years?" I asked- my words rather studdering.
"I love it." I say looking outside.
"I do too." Tommy said looking straight at me.
But, I didn't notice. I was to flabbergasted at the beautiful house in front of my eyes.
"You ready?" Tommy interupted my thoughts as he got out of the car.
"Yeah." I say back as I exit the car as well. I take his hand and we walk down the path. But I stop about half-way up.
"Thanks for taking me here Tommy. It means alot." I said smiling.
I couldn't control my exitment anymore.
Tommy just smiled and brushed a stray hair out my face and kissed me lightly.
As I walked in the large door I couldn't help but tremble.
"Thomas!" I heard a woman's voice.
"Ma' Ma'" Tommy said with an accent.
He gave her a tight hug.
"Jude, this is my mother Sophia Conchelous. Ma' Ma' this is Jude Harrison." Tommy said smiling.
"It's a pleasue meeting you I say sticking out my hand.
"Please call me Sophie." Tommy's mother asked while shaking my hand.
"Thomas." I heard a male voice say.
"Hello Father" Tommy said with an accent again.
Tommy shook the man's hand.
"Jude this is my father Carlo Conchelous. This is Jude Harrison." Tommy said.
"It's really nice to finally meet you I say sticking out my hand.
"Please. Everyone around here who I am close with calls me Bob." He said with a hearty laugh.
I smile. Bob? I wonder why. Bob? Oh well.
"You two must be starving after your long flight. Yes? Come. Let us eat." Sophie told us leading the way to the dining room.
"Conchelous eh?" I whisper in Tommy's ear.
Tommy clears his throat casing me to giggle.
"I am a- uh- only child so expect no more tonight." Tommy informs me.
"Alrighty then." I say back.
When we reach the dining room, Tommy helps me into my chair.
"What a gentleman." I whisper.
Tommy and Bob both stand until both Sophie and I sit down.
"So Thomas. How long have been associated with, Jude?" Sophie asks.
"3 years." Tommy answered.
3 years ago I was 15. What a dork. That wont win me over completely yet.
"Wow." Bob says.
We eat and talk for about an hour.
Then Sophie and I head to the kitchen.
"How was it then? Did you like my cooking?" Sophie asked.
"It was really great uh- Sophie." I say.
Sophie giggled.
"I'm glad. Thomas looks so happy. I'm glad he met you." Sophie said smiling.
I smiled back.
"I'm very glad I met him too." I say.
I don't hear the door open behind me.
"So are you two in love? I see it in your eyes. Yes?" Sophie asked.
I blushed.
"We are very in love Ma' Ma' " Tommy answers his Mother for me.
I cover my mouth with my hand as a gasp escapes it. Damn.. He has a habit of popping up in weird places.
Sophie shrieked in joy.
Tommy carefully put his hands around my waist. What the hell is going on? He is being really sweet and then all of a sudden Sophie asks if were in love. Something is up.
"Well I don't exactly love her." Tommy started but kept smiling.
My smile droped.
So did Sophie's.
"I'm in love with her."Tommy ended bending down for a kiss which I took.
What an asshole. That was so cheesy.
But Sophie seemed to injoy it for she started clapping her hands.
It like the Conchelios' are like "BE AFARID BE VERY AFARID!"
What a load of crap. Tommy is being full of himself and its pissing me off. We are going to have a talk tonight.
"Hey Jude do you want me to take you upstairs and show you the bedroom?" Tommy asked raising his eyebrows. What a showoffy jerk. Whatever I'm getting you back Quincy or Conchelious! WHO EVER YOU ARE!
"Accually I'm good down here thanks." I said unwrapping Tommy's hands from around my waist.
I saw the shock on his face and stifiled my laughter. Sophie raised her eyebrows in amousment. I couldn't help it, I giggled.
"Oh now I'll get you back! Excuse us Ma' Ma'" Tommy said lifting me up.
I shreiked but it was of fun. You win this round Quincy.
"Of course. Sleep well." I heard Sophie say to us when we exited the kitchen.
Tommy put me down and tickled my stomache. I tried to laugh as little as possible but I am so tickilish on my stomache. This sucks? How am I going to get you back Tommy?
