Me no own Winco or I.S.

Jude grabbed a shopping cart as they walked into Winco. She grabbed Tommy's hand and squeezed it while pushing the cart.

"Come on. I promise it'll be fun."

Tommy shrugged and looked around. Jude toke Tommy's hand and placed in on the cart and walked away. She ran back with a box of Cheez-its and tossed them in the basket. She threw her hands in the air and yelled "goal" as it made it in. Tommy laughed at her childish antics, finding them rather attractive.

" Ok maybe it won't be so bad."

She walked to the fruit and vegetable section with Tommy following close behind. She began picking out just about every item in the area and placed them into plastic bags, then in the basket.

"You really like this stuff don't ya?" Jude smiled

"Thanks master of the obvious." She winked at him and then began reading labels on tofu. Tommy began poking a package trying to figure out what it was.

"You eat this?" he asked still investigating the item.

"Yes, it's very good for you and doesn't taste to bad either."

"What is it?"

"Ground up soybeans."

Tommy scrunched up his face in disgust. Jude looked over at him sternly.

"Have you ever eaten tofu?"

" Well, uh, no."

"Then how do you know it doesn't taste good?"

" Because it's white, squishy and moves like jello."

"Do you know anything about tofu?"

" Well, I…uh…I mean…"

"That's what I thought."

Tommy walked back over to the cart and watched as Jude leaned over to pick up something. Enjoying the view himself he turned to see a kid about 17 doing the same thing. Tommy felt his anger flare up.

" Punk kid. Who does he think he is checkin' out my girl…whoa, WHOA! Where'd that come from, my girl? Whoa! Ok chill Tommy. Kid still shouldn't be checkin' her out."

"Punk mother…"

"Excuse me?" Tommy looked back to se Jude standing next to the cart.

" Huh, Not you so kid over there, ya know."

"Might want to tone the testosterone down a but there Quincy."

They continued walking through the story. Tommy noticed the " punk" staring at Jude for the last 20 minutes. He felt himself boil. He toke a deep breath and followed Jude down the next aisle. She jumped onto the cart and Tommy pushed her quickly down it. Jude jumped off the cart and reached up for something on the top shelf. Tommy walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Jude turned around smiling.

"It's kinda hard to get around with you doin' that ya know."

Tommy didn't let go, instead he slid his other down to her hand, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Dance with me?"

" In the middle of Winco?"

"Why not?"

Jude dropped the item into the basket as Tommy led her into the middle of the aisle and began to waltz. He spun her out and brought her closer continuing the dance. Jude laughed when Tommy dipped her as an elderly couple passed by shaking their heads. He heard the old woman mumble something about young love but ignored it.

"You're a lovely dancer, Ms. Harrison."

"Why thank you Mr. Quincy. Your quiet the twinkle toes."

" Anytime"

" Ok next time I'm in the mood for a waltz I'll call you and pick you up so we can go to Winco."

Tommy chuckled as he pushed the cart towards the check out stand.

"So what's next?"

"Laundry"

Tommy drove to Jude's house and helped her put away her groceries. She grabbed and hamper of dirty clothes and jumped into Tommy's car.
