Hey! This website finally let me upload another chapter. Hope someone is still reading it!
Love?
Tommy tapped his fingers on the table. His rings clinked against each other. He was nervous. Jude had finally agreed to meet him. It would be their first meeting since she ran from him a week ago. The shock on her face that night would not leave his mind. It was burnt in to mock him for the rest of his life. He was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of the door bell's jingle.
Jude walked in. She spotted him from across the room and began to walk towards the table.
The closer she got, the tighter her arms wrapped around herself. He could tell something was different. Jude sat across from him and waved the waiter away. "Just water." She then turned her gaze to Tommy. Her eyes. As they looked at him, he never felt more ashamed. He searched her eyes, looking for some hope for their future. But as he continued to search he realized the light that used to be her love for him, had gone out. As she sat across from him, she never thought in a million years that she could hate him. In her life she had only hated one man, now two. Silently she pushed her engagement ring towards him. Tommy's heart stopped. "What are you doing?" "I don't want it" His fingers trembled as he reached for the ring. He leaned forward bringing the ring closer to his face. "But...I...why.." He stumbled over his words as the wrinkle across his forehead deepened. Jude watched as he closed his eyes and leaned back. "That's all. Goodbye."
As she placed a tip on the table, his arm shot out and grabbed her wrist. "No. You can't do this." She pried his fingers off, "I didn't do anything. Everything that is happening is no one's fault but your own." His eyes looked at her frantically. "But... I love you." She laughed. "Wow. You know for a second there I actually believed you." Tommy flinched "Did you tell her that too?" Jude moved closer.
"Did you tell her that as you ran your fingers down her arm? Did you say it when her fingers marked a trail down your back?" She then leaned forward, her eyes as cold as ice. "What did you say as you whispered into her ear?" He looked at her. "Stop it Jude." She smiled as she leaned back. "Oh Tommy, Tommy, Tommy. We all know you didn't say that." He banged his fist onto the table. "Stop it right now." He closed his eyes as he tried to breathe. "Jude, I'm so sorry. Please you have to believe me" She laughed "You must think I'm stupid. You're not sorry for what you did. You're sorry you got caught." He stared at her not believing the words coming from her mouth. "That's not true. Jude I'm really sorry for what I did. I never wanted to hurt you. I love you." Jude stood up "You love me? Well excuse me if I have a hard time believing you." As she turned, she clutched her stomach and bent over. A wave of nausea passed quickly but didn't go unnoticed by Tommy.
He rushed over to her. "Are you okay?" She whispered "We're fine." He frowned "What?" She quickly stood and faced him "I. I'll be fine." Watching as she walked out, it hit him. He threw money onto the table, grabbed his coat and rushed out after her.
