Chapter 26
When the limo pulled up in front of the Harrison house, Jude quickly jumped out of the car, not even waiting for the driver to open her door, and bolted into the house. While she was gone, the driver did explicitly as he was told to, he opened the trunk and made his way to the front door just as Jude went running up the stairs to change. He picked up the suitcases waiting at the bottom of the stairs and quickly loaded them into the limo and then waited outside as Jude hurriedly changed upstairs. The tears had stopped coming now and the hurt she had felt in her heart had turned to anger. God, why did Tommy always do this. Why couldn't he just let things alone, but no he had to go and ruin this great getaway they had planned. Well, I am not about to spend an entire week missing him, I am going to have the time of my life and maybe, just maybe when I get back I may decide to speak to him again. That is a big MAYBE! Jude continued to change out of her beautiful gown and gather the last few things she needed for her trip.
Meanwhile, Tommy was driving like a madman down the streets of Toronto trying to get to Jude's house as fast as he could. Tommy, why do you always have to be such an idiot. You knew that you should have never asked her to dance, you knew exactly what was going to happen if you did. But no, you had just had to touch her and kiss her and now look where you're at, she is probably halfway to the ski resort and will never want to see you again! Let's just hope you are wrong and can catch her in time.
Tommy came to a screeching halt half way down the block from the Harrison house. He quickly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jude was still here and the limo was parked outside waiting for her. Tommy jumped out of the Viper and jogged up to the limo quickly giving his keys to the driver and explaining that he would be joining Miss Harrison on her trip and instructing the driver to get his luggage out of his car. The driver did as he was told and Tommy crawled into the limo waiting for Jude to come down.
Five minutes later, Jude jogged down the stairs, turned out the lights and ran out to get in the car. The driver said nothing as he closed her door and quickly ran around the other side to climb in the passenger seat. Jude got in and made herself comfortable inside the dark interior of the car. As Jude relaxed back into the seat with a sigh of relief to be finally getting away from it all, she made a sudden gasp as she noticed Tommy sitting in the far dark corner of the car staring at her.
T: Now Jude, before you start freaking out.
J: Get out Tommy! Right now get out of this car, out of my life! OUT!
T: Come on Jude, we need to talk.
J: I don't want to talk to you.
T: Well then fine, you don't have to talk, I will. But you do have to listen.
Jude just sat back against the seat once again with a loud groan and crossed her arms over her chest. Tommy tried to hide his smile and sat back in his seat himself. Man, this is going to be one long ride!
