A/N: Ok, first off, this is the last chapter that they will be in London. There will be a lot of TJ fluff in this chapter, and for once, no cliffhanger! Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own the show, or the movie "The Upside of Anger."
Chapter 8: Are You Gonna Be My Girl?
Dear journal,
We have one more day left in London. The last 2 days have been incredible. Seeing the sites (now with Kwest; after the incident yesterday he won't let either of us out of his sight.), catching up, and just hanging out. Now that I think about it, I'm really glad Georgia called me about this project. I think the boys are, too. We really missed each other and, who knows? Maybe this could be an opportunity to start over. Figure some things out. God, Tommy just had to move to London. His accent is driving me crazy! It could drive any girl crazy. Just think about it, the infamous Little Tommy Q. with a British accent. Well, I have to listen to that for another few months. God help me. Anyway, I managed to steer myself waaaayyy off course here talking about Tommy's accent, so let's get back down to Earth again, shall we? As I was saying, it's a great opportunity to start over. I mean, it HAS been 12 years, we've changed. Well, I guess i'll just have to wait and see...
Jude put down her pencil and shut her journal as she heard the sound of her door opening. She turned around to see Tommy smiling at her. "Jude. Come on, we're gonna watch a movie." He signaled for her to get up and she nodded, lifting herself to her feet and joining him in the living room. She took a seat on the couch as Tommy made his way to the entertainment center. He looked at his collection and after shouting out a few titles he turned back to Jude and Kwest, who had turned down everything and were now waiting impatiently on the couch. "I pretty much have it all. Why don't you pick something out for yourself?" Jude rolled her eyes and joined Tommy in front of the system, looking at movies. Picking out a particular title, she let out a laugh as she turned to Tommy, pointing harshly at the case.
"You actually have this movie?" Tommy looked closely at the title, his cheeks turning a slight red. He shrugged and crossed his arms over his chest defensively after trying to grab the box from Jude. She was quicker and moved away when he reached for it.
"So what? It's a good movie!" Jude's laughter continued.
"'The Upside of Anger'? Tommy, it's a chick-flick!" This statement caused Kwest to join in on the hysterical laughter. Tommy continued trying to steal the case from Jude, who continued dodging him. When he finally realized he had no hopes of beating her that way, he threw his hands up in surrender. He had another way of getting to her.
"Fine, I give up!" Jude finally lowered her arms down, and he was now fully able to get the case. He waited until she had her back turned, and then took the opportunity to sneak up on her and throw his arms around her, tickling her mercilessly. He continued his torture until he was sure she was too weal to fight back. When the case was finally in reach, he snatched it from her and ran back over to the couch. Jude stayed on the floor for a few seconds, trying to catch her breath before running up to the couch, straight up to Tommy.
"That was SO not fair!" She complained. Tommy simply shrugged and got up from the couch, walking over to put the DVD in the player.
"Whatever you say, baby doll. Just sit back and enjoy the movie." Jude pouted, but sat back and waited for the movie to start. Tommy pressed play and ran over to the couch, quickly taking a seat next to Jude. Ignoring the glares from Kwest, she cuddled up close to him as the movie started. About a little more than halfway into the movie, Jude turned to say something to Kwest, but saw that he had fallen asleep. She rolled her eyes and turned back to Tommy, giving him a light tap on the shoulder. He looked down at her.
"Hey, looks like our baby-sitter's fallen asleep." His mouth twisted into a grin that completely matches Jude's as she leaned into him, giving him a passionate kiss. He kissed her back, glad that they were finally out of Kwest's eye. He pulled her closer to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She was lying on top of him with her hands traveling through his hair when they heard a moaning sound and turned around to see Kwest beginning to wake up. Jude quickly got off of Tommy and sat back down on the couch before he rolled over slightly and continued his sleep. Jude let out a sigh of relief. "Man that was close." Tommy nodded in agreement before standing up and holding out his hand. Jude took it.
"Come on. I don't think we want to risk Kwest catching us again." He led her past her guest room, and straight into his bedroom. He locked the door and went over to her, pulling her down onto the bed with him. She giggled lightly as he ran kisses down her neck. His hands began to move up her t-shirt, but she stopped him. He gave her a quizzical look, but she just shook her head.
"You said it yourself, we shouldn't risk it." She yawned. "Besides, I'm really tired. Maybe we should just go to sleep." Tommy nodded in understanding.
He gave her one last kiss before muttering a "Good night, girl." And drifting off into a deep sleep. Jude followed him into dreamland, passing out after hearing him say that one phrase. She felt completely at ease in his arms, knowing she was safe as long as she was with him. At least, until Kwest found out.
