Chapter 11
As they continued to kiss, Tommy wrapped his arm around Jude's waist and slowly rolled both of them over. Tommy sat up for a moment so he could remove his leather jacket. He smiled down at Jude as he slowly lowered himself down slightly on his side yet still leaning over her. He recaptured her lips with him as she reached up and entwined her hands within his hair.
"Tommy," Jude breathed out in between their kisses. "I…I trust you….but, I'm not ready."
Hearing this Tommy stopped kissing her and propped himself up on his elbow. He smiled down at her, realizing how innocent, yet mature she was, and how much he had come to care, and love her in the short amount of time they had known each other. "Jude, we don't have to do anything, until we're both ready for it. I'd be happy to just lay here with you."
Jude beamed as she grabbed the collar of Tommy's shirt and pulled him back down to her. They continued to kiss until the door opening interrupted them.
Whitney fumbled in, obviously wasted. Tommy and Jude immediately separated seeing that there night was going to be cut short. Whitney started to undress; just as she was about to pull her shirt over her head Jude cleared her throat. Realizing other people where in the room Whitney turned around quickly, resulting in a loss of balance and her falling to the floor.
Whitney started to laugh as Jude got up to help her roommate.
"Whit, you okay?" Jude asked as she grabbed a hair tie and pulled Whitey's hair back as she had many times before.
"HEEEYYYYYY JUUUDDE." Whitney slurred out before getting up and wobbly running out of the room and to the bathroom. Jude turned around to face Tommy who was now sitting upright on her bed.
"I'm sorry." Jude said sitting down next to him. "You should probably go. Unfortunately the rest of my night will be getting her cleaned up and into bed." Jude smiled sadly thinking about how the perfect night was being ruined by her drunken roommate.
"It's ok. It's getting late anyway, I should probably head home." Tommy grabbed his jacket as the pair walked to the dorm lobby. They stopped at the door and Tommy leaned down and gave Jude one last passionate kiss before he put his jacket on. He started to push the door open when he stopped and turned to Jude. "Next time, you're coming back to my place." Jude raised her eyebrows at his suggestion. "Just to sleep, I promise just to sleep. I'll call you tomorrow." And with that, he left.
Jude brought her fingers getting lost in her thoughts of how his lips had felt on hers.
