Part 25
"That's the last box Jude. What the hell is in here anyways? It feels like a box of bricks" Tommy stated. Jude just laughed "Hair care products Quincy you should know more about them than anyone" she stated as she messed up his hair as he walked into his apartment with the box in hand.
Tommy just raised an eyebrow at her and placed the box in the guest room they had set up for her that day. "That was brave Jude. Touching the hair. Your getting pretty ballsy aren't ya"? Jude grinned.
Tommy and Jude finally had a chance to sit down and catch their breath about an hour later. They'd set Jessie up in the living room with "The Lion King" playing and Jude had finished unpacking most of her things. They were now sitting in the dining room. Each had their legs propped up on a chair across from each other.
Tommy finally broke the silence. "So what are you thinking"? Jude who had been deep in thought looked over at Tommy. "What makes you think that I'm thinking anything"? Tommy raised a brow in a questioning manner. "I hate to break it to you Harrison but I can read you like a book. Now stop avoiding and spill". Jude sighed in defeat. "I'm just scared Tommy. This guy has been watching me sleep. He knows where I live. How close has he gotten to me? Have I bumped into him in the streets? I don't even know what he wants from me." Tears had filled her eyes as she berated Tommy with questions. She willed them back but a few managed to spill over.
Tommy leaned over and grabbed Jude's hands in his own. "You listen to me Jude. I promise you right now that you will be safe here. I won't let this guy anywhere near you ok?" Jude nodded and gave Tommy a small smile. Tommy wiped the few tears that had fallen from Jude's beautiful blue eyes. "Jude do you trust me"? Jude instantly replied "Surprisingly enough, yes I do". Tommy smiled "Then trust that I'm going to protect you." Jude smiled and reached over and gave Tommy a hug. "Thank you". She whispered in his ear as she turned her head to kiss him on the cheek Tommy turned his head at the same time. Their lips were a mere breath apart.
A small voice tore them from each other's gaze and the trance they'd been in. "Uncle Tommy I'm hungry".
Tommy pushed himself back from Jude and ran a hand over his face. "Well your in luck sweetie. I was just about to start dinner".
Jude stood from the table and walked toward Jessie. "Actually he wasn't. I said I'd make dinner tonight and that is just what I'm going to do".
Tommy looked over at Jude and laughed. "I don't think so. I happen to love my niece and I don't think we should put her through something that traumatizing so soon Jude."
Jude scoffed. "Then I'm just going to need Jessie here to help me". She stated as she put an arm around the little girl's shoulders and led her to the kitchen.
