Chapter 22 - Thanks Quincy

Jude grabbed her cell phone out of her mom's car, turned it on, and shoved it in her pocket which made Tommy finally understand why she hadn't answered her phone earlier. They got in the viper and drove off.

After stopping back at his place to get his Hummer, Tommy took Jude by her house and let her run in to grab some of her clothes. She also got a few pictures and personal belongings. When about Twenty minutes passed Tommy got out of his car and went into the house, wondering why Jude was taking so long.

He walked up the steps slowly, examining the pictures of Jude and Sadie growing up. There were even some of her father..her father. He had no idea what was going on. Tommy shook the thought away and continued up to Jude's room. Without knocking, he opened the door and watched her close a small kit-like box, quickly.

"What's that?" He asked, immediately.

"Nothing, Tommy." She picked the kit up and tried to get passed him, but he grabbed the box out of her hand and opened it.

"Jude." He said, looking through all the different razors and rubber bands inside.

"I wasn't going to bring it. I was going to throw it away..I didn't think I'd need it anymore." She said, rubbing her arm and staring down at her feet.

He used one hand to bring her chin up so that her face would face his and then he searched for honesty in her eyes.

"Alright." He finally said, handing her the case back. He trusted her completely. Hopefully she wouldn't do anything to make him lose trust for her. She smiled weakly and left the room. He decided to make himself useful and grab some of her bags that were already packed and bring them downstairs. After everything was packed and in the car, the two drove back to Tommy's.

-At Tommy's-

They walked inside and Jude smiled at her new home. Everything was so perfect..besides the fact that she still had to explain everything to her dad.

Tommy grabbed the bags out of her hands and took them to the guest room for her. She smiled at his respectfulness.

"Thanks." She simply said and followed him. This was the first time she had ever seen this room. It wasn't too small and the walls were an off-white and on the walls were albums. She already loved it.

"It's great, Tommy." She said, still eyeing the room.

The bedspread was brown and the pillow cases were an even lighter brown. The night stand was shiny and black and the dressers matched the night stand. Although, the carpet matched the walls and bed. All in all, everything in the room pretty much matched and it created a very cozy vibe.

Jude sat down on the bed and sighed to herself which only caused Tommy to smile.

"Well, I'll let you unpack." He said, retreating to the bathroom for a shower.

Jude got up and closed the door, before squealing to herself. Tommy heard from the hallway and laughed.

Jude unpacked her clothes and started putting them in dressers. She then noticed another door in the room, funny she didn't notice it before. She put the last of her clothes in the dresser and then walked over, opening the door slowly.

"Wow." She whispered. She opened the door completely to reveal a nice white-tiled bathroom. It was so clean. There was a walk in shower and a nice bathtub with mirrors all the way around. And she thought Tommy's bathroom was nice..

She smiled and closed the door, continuing to unpack her stuff. The next to come was pictures. She had only brought a few..some of her and Sadie and of course her and Tommy. Some of her dad and her mom together. Even though her mom was treating her like this, she still loved her and she still needed her, even if she didn't want to admit it.

After the pictures were set on the dressers she put a few other things on her dresser and then a few things in the bathroom. Everything was now unpacked and it now looked like a girl's room. A very nice girl's room.

She was content with how it looked and decided to go see what Tommy was up to. Everything was so awkward though..she felt out of place and in place at the same time. Suddenly feeling silly, she walked out to the living room and spotted Tommy sitting on the couch.

"Hey." She said, taking a seat next to him. He slipped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him.

"Hey." He replied, smiling.

"You didn't tell me there was a shower in there too." She said, laying her head on his shoulder. She felt his shoulder vibrate under her. He was laughing.

"I thought I'd let you find it on your own." He said, smirking.

Jude sat there for a few moments just trying to get her mind off of things. It was working..kind of. Being with him helped and everything, but all the stuff going on with her mom and Sadie and now Kwest..Not to mention her dad. Everything was so crazy.

"Hey Tommy?"

"Hmm?" He asked, drifting off.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Anything."

"Did you care about Sadie more than you care about me?"

Tommy looked down at her with a serious look on his face. He was obviously shocked and taken aback by her question.

"Why would you ask that?" He questioned, bringing his hand to Jude's cheek and rubbing it lightly.

"Well..I thought you were going to marry her..."

Tommy shook his head and looked away.

"If I would have..it would only be because of the baby. I've never felt anything for anyone, the way I feel for you." He said, truthfully.

She smiled and nodded.

"Thanks Quincy."

"For what?"

"Being you." She said.

He smiled and nodded.

Tommy leaned in and his lips brushed hers. He teased her, knowing it was killing her. She smiled and bit her lip. Tommy kissed her cheek and his warm breath was torturing her. Finally, not being able to take it anymore, Jude captured his lips and his hands went to her sides. She was pulling him back and he was positioning himself over her when her cell phone started going off. She groaned and he continued to kiss her. It kept ringing so Jude kissed him quickly, before struggling to get her cell.

"Hello?" She asked breathlessly. Tommy continued to trail kisses up and down her neck and along her jawline.

"Kwest, slow down..." Tommy stopped kissing her and watched her eyes which were now full of concern.

"Wait, What's wrong with My mom?"

A/N - So? What did you think? I have a few ideas for the next chapter..I can't promise anything, BUT I think this story could be taken to the next level..aka: M, but I am really not sure.
