---Cherry Red---Chapter Eleven---Rated R---
Jude looked up from her guitar when she saw heard the door open and close. "John…" She said when she saw him limping. "Cherry, don't worry I'm alright." He pulled a stool up and sat down next to her. He rubbed her back comfortingly. "I was sort of thinking, maybe to try and get your mind off things, we could record something together?"
Jude looked over at him and smiled sadly, wiping her tears. "It sounds great John but right now I don't really think I would be able to write anything good."
John smiled, "That why I dug this up…" John held up an obviously old, folded piece of paper. Jude looked at it confused. John opened it up and read over it aloud. Jude smiled and threw her hands around John, "Thank you; this is just what I need." John smiled and hugged her back.
Tommy counted down from
4 on his hand signaling Jude and John to start singing.

Throughout the song John was dancing around and trying to get Jude to smile, but she wouldn't. She just seemed emotionless but she still sang the song amazingly. John gently rubbed her shoulders and smiled. "Its gonna be a hit Cherry." Jude just gave him a fake smile that he didn't catch but Tommy did. A buzz came from John's pocket and he looked at his beeper. "Oh, I…ah…I gotta go." He kissed Jude's cheek and quickly walked out.
Jude took a heavy sigh and walked out to meet Tommy. "Hey…"
"Hey…" he responded. "You did a great job with that song."
Jude nodded, "Thanks." They had made their way outside and Tommy opened the door for Jude and she climbed in. It was some unspoken message between them; Jude didn't want to be alone tonight.
They pulled up to Tommy's penthouse and Jude dropped her stuff onto the floor. Tommy shrugged off his jacket and hung it on the hanger and grabbed Jude's, hanging it also. While Tommy did this Jude walked over to his music player and pressed a few buttons. The lights were dimmed and she turned to see Tommy standing by the light switch smiling softly at her. Jude smiled at him too and returned to the music. John Mayer's voice filled the entire apartment, and the soft sound of a guitar.
((Your Body is A Wonderland by John Mayer))
We got the
afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to
do
Discover me
Discovering you
Jude felt something warm engulf her hand so she turned and saw Tommy, still smiling at her. He gently tugged her hand and Jude followed closely behind Tommy to the bedroom. There was nothing rushed, no words spoken, just natural.
One mile to every inch of
Your skin like
porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue
Tommy turned once they passed the doorway to his bedroom and lightly kissed Jude. The kiss was loving and soft, not demanding or lustful like they had been in the past. Tommy felt Jude's mouth twitch a little, as if she wanted to smile. He wrapped her arms around her and they got over to the bed. Tommy sat down and Jude stood in front of him, still not disconnecting their lips.
Cause if you want love
We'll make
it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big
plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile
Tommy slowly slid off her shirt, and her jean skirt soon followed. Jude slowly unbuttoned Tommy's shirt, button by button. In the past she would have just ripped the buttons off, but there was something differed about tonight. Maybe it was the song, If you want love, we'll make it…we they making love? Not just sex?
Your body is a
wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body
is a wonderland
Tommy's hand skillfully slithered all around her body, barely touching her as his fingertips skimmed her creamy skin; Jude shuddered at his touch. Tommy smiled, he usually smirked when he got a reaction out of her but this time he was all smiles, warm, calming smiles. Jude met his eyes and she leaned in to kiss him, Tommy met her halfway and put his hands on her hips lightly.
Something 'bout the
way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when
crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though
I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the
bed
Without my hand behind it
Tommy tugged Jude closer to her; he sat up a little straighter and spun around slowly so Jude's back was to the bed. She gently jumped up so she could wrap her legs around his waist. He gently lowered her onto the bed, his hand cupping the back of her neck and the other supporting her with his hand on her lower back. After lying down Jude unwrapped her legs from Tommy and slowly undid the button on his pants. When Tommy was pulling them off his legs Jude slowly backed herself up to the head of the bed. The backwards movement caused her hair to fall from behind her ears and into her face. Tommy smiled at her and rested back on her elbows, her ankles crossed and her knees slightly bent. Jude bit her lip and smiled shyly.
You want love?
We'll
make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big
plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile
Tommy climbed onto the bed and crawled toward her, his warm eyes and soft smile never leaving his face. Jude smiled and pulled him closer. He gently pulled her bra off her body and then he placed feather light kisses along her stomach before pulling her panties down too. Jude smiled and pulled his boxers down his legs, leaving them at his ankles for him to kick off himself. Tommy let them drop to the floor before pulled his legs back onto the bed. Jude's face stayed emotionless and Tommy's smile, though his face was still warm, was now gone and replaced with a serious expression. Jude gave him a small smile and slight nod telling Tommy is was okay to continue. He nodded too and let his hands travel from her finger tips, up her arms, down her sides (which made Jude giggle), and then down to her hips.
Your
body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my
hands)
Your body is a wonderland
Tommy let his hands rest on her hips. Not pushing her any further unless it was truly what she wanted. "Are you sure?" he whispered. Jude just smiled, a real smile, not one she gave John earlier. "Yes." Tommy smiled and kissed her cheek, he still wasn't going to treat this like every other time they were together. He didn't know what was different, it just was. So Tommy started to drag the tips of his fingers up from her hips again, back up her sides, down her arms, and then he took Jude's hands in his. Lightly caressing her fingers.
Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine
all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes
Jude smiled as he played with her hands. She moved up toward the head of the bed a little bit so she could sit up more. Tommy pulled back slightly and couldn't help but give her a once over. She looked amazing, there was something shy about her, but there was also a glow she had that was just so outgoing. He smiled at her, assuring her that he had no intention of hurting her, but loving her. Jude just looked at him for a minute before kissing him, once again, softly.
Your body is a
wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body
is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland
During the kiss, Tommy slid himself inside her. Jude moaned slightly and Tommy swallowed it. The kiss continued soft and Tommy and Jude started to move, together. Tommy wrapped his arms across her back and he pulled her to sit up with him. Jude smiled and rested her head on his shoulder. Tommy continually kissed her temple, her hair, her cheek, wherever seemed the most intimate.

Jude lifted her head and looked at Tommy, once their eyes met that was it. They both lolled their heads back and screamed in ecstasy. Tommy cupped the back of her head and lied her back down on the bed. Her face was slightly sweaty and the little baby hairs along her hairline were sticking to her face. She took a deep breath and looked up at Tommy. She smiled and leaned up to kiss him. He kissed her passionately, but again, not needy. When they pulled away Tommy rested down next to Jude and pulled her closer to him. Jude turned so she could face him and without looking into his eyes she snuggled into his chest, "I really do love you, you know."
Tommy smiled and stroked her hair, "I know; I really do love you to." Tommy felt her smile against his chest but she didn't say anything. She just snuggled next to him and kissed his side, where his third rib was, she knew that was his weak spot. She then rolled over so her body was able to fit better against Tommy's, and drifted off to sleep.
And for once, neither of them worried about her having to sneak home in the morning.
