Chapter 36

Jude awoke first the next morning. The sun from the window entered Tommy's room and made everything look as though it were glowing. Jude smiled as she tried to move but felt weighed down by Tommy's arm which was wrapped around her possessively even in sleep. She moved his arm off of her careful to not wake him. She tiptoed to the bathroom and turned the shower on full blast.

Stepping into the shower she couldn't help but grin. She was someone's lover. Not just someone, Tommy. That made it all that much better. She could feel where his rough kisses or caresses had burned her skin the night before and knew she'd have small bruises everywhere. They were more than worth it. She began to lather the body wash in her hands when she heard the shower door open behind her. She smiled and turned around to face Tommy who had already stripped and had a look of equal happiness on his face.

"I figured we could share." He said with a smirk. She just laughed and said "Oh you did, did you?" He came to her and kissed her hard on the mouth running his hands over her bare breasts as he felt himself get hard again. Jude looked down and said "Yeah, I think we can share."

Later that afternoon when Jude and Tommy finally made it out of the bedroom for good, they had decided to make some lunch and just hangout. Jude was just finishing her lunch when her cell rang. She walked over and smiled when she saw Kat's face light up on the screen.

Jude: Hey Kat

Kat: Ok prepare yourself Harrison

Jude laughed: Prepare myself for what?

Kat's voice was muffled for some reason and it sounded like there were airplanes taking off in the background.

Jude: Kat I can barely hear you, where are you?

Kat giggled: How fast can you get packed and be at the airport?

Jude's brain froze, what was going on?

Jude: It all depends, why would I need to get to the airport? You need to start explaining miss Benton.

Kat giggled again and said, "Actually in less than 24 hours I'll be Mrs. Andrews she said excitedly.

Jude's mouth fell open "Oh my god, what?" "When did you guys decide this?" The questions flew from her and Tommy just watched on amused that Jude seemed almost speechless.

Kat: Well Jamie and I were talking last night and my internship is going for another 6 months and then I'm moving back to Toronto but we didn't want to wait that long, and I don't want to have to intern and plan a wedding so we decided to elope! Were about to board a plane in about 30 minutes and we wanted you and Tommy to be there too!

Jude had to sit down. Her best friends were eloping in a few minutes and wanted her there.

Jude: Where are we going and what time does our flight leave?

6 hours later Tommy and Jude were on a plane just landing in the states, Las Vegas, Nevada to be exact. Jude could barely contain her excitement over being in Vegas for the first time and the fact that in a few hours two of her best friends would be married.

Tommy was pretty shocked at first to say the least when Jude had hung up the phone and started throwing their clothes into suitcases. He'd barely asked her what are you doing before she squealed and launched herself at him. "Kat and Jamie are eloping and were coming with!" She said excitedly. Tommy just stared at her with a look of shock before taking a deep breath and saying "Let me call D to tell him I'm not coming in tomorrow".

They had packed in record timing and were on the 6pm flight to Las Vegas. Kat and Jamie had left on the 3pm flight and said that they would meet Tommy and Jude at the Palms, where they would be staying for the next 3 days.

Tommy and Jude hadn't discussed the night before. It was almost as though it were forbidden to talk about. Both knew that they didn't regret it but they were also afraid of what the other might say given the chance so it was easier to just keep quiet and enjoy each other's presence.

Tommy was the one to finally bite the bullet and bring up what the both of them had been thinking about all day. "I don't regret last night Jude, not at all and I hope you don't either." He said as they took the shuttle from the airport to their hotel. Jude had been staring off in space but quickly snapped her attention back to Tommy. A slight smile lingering on her lips. "I don't either Tommy, it's just that I don't want anything to mess up what we have right now. You're my best friend and I'm just afraid that if we become a "we" that it will ruin it." She said quietly. Tommy just shook his head, it broke a piece of his heart to hear that but it also made him warm inside to know how much she truly cared about him. "Doesn't mean I'm not willing to try though." She said with a full smile at her lips. Tommy looked up and grinned. He grabbed her and pulled her to him and kissed her full on the lips. "God I love you." He muttered against her hair. He heard her quiet intake of breath and then a "I love you too Tommy."
