In the middle of a particularly explicit dream between Jude, and Tommy, Jude felt a shaking at her shoulder and heard a voice calling her and rousing her from her dream of medieval fornication and knights in shining armor.

"Jude! C'mon princess, you gotta get dressed. Everyone is going to be showing up and the turkey's almost done." Her prince called out. Jude rolled over and groaned loudly. Tommy leaned down and kissed her quickly on her forehead

"C'mon baby, I need to make sure you're up so I can go home and make myself look like I wasn't sleeping ten minutes ago." Jude huffed but rolled out from under the covers

"Alright I'm up! I'm going I'm going!" Jude grumbled. Tommy leaned forward and scrunched up her already tousled hair.

"Okay honey, the turkey is ready to come out whenever, your dress is hanging on the bathroom door, and the water's already running in there for a shower." At this Tommy paused and Jude's eyebrow arched coyly "for you and only you." Tommy leaned to her and kissed her quickly before dashing out of her apartment leaving her alone again.

Jude sighed loudly and stripped off her jeans and T-shirt stepping into the warm shower. As she let the water run over her she thought of Tommy and his hands, all over her. She shook her head and finished her shower quickly, realizing that she didn't have the time to be fantasizing about what could happen and that she should be preparing for the stressful dinner to come.

She stepped out of the shower and towel dried her hair letting it fall onto her shoulders. She combed through it, and gasped as large chunks fell out into her comb. I'm sure it's just from that recent bleaching Jude murmured within her head. As she slipped the soft silky dress over her head she noticed a large purple bruise on her upper arm. She frowned before realizing that she'd recently bumped into the door. I'll go to the doctor's next Tuesday, that way I won't miss any work. She nearly jumped out of her skin when the doorbell rang. She slipped into a pair of black sling back heels and walked to the door opening it to see Sadie, Jamie, and Kat. Sadie brushed into the doorway and gave a quick kiss on her sister's cheek before stepping into the apartment.

"Well I thought you'd have something a little bigger, but, it suits you. These two tried to drive in the Katmobile, and failed. The engine stalled outside Jamie's house so I dragged them along." Sadie's crystal blue eyes scanned the dining room, and her smile fell when she saw who she was placed by in the seating. She also saw Tommy's leather driving jacket sitting on the chair at the opposite head of the table.

"Tommy was here then?" Sadie snarled out, before sitting at her assigned seat. She shot Jude a deadly look. Jude barely had the time to reciprocate the look before the doorbell rang again and in poured the rest of her guests.

About twenty minutes until the dinner was to start Tommy was missing, and Jude and her family and guests were getting restless. Finally Tommy appeared in the doorway. Jude gaped at him, his black Italian shirt and worn jeans commenting his dark hair and blue eyes. He winked at Jude and took his seat at the head of the table. Jude brought out the food and came back in to Tommy speaking to her father in the hallway. Dad's never liked Tommy, so why is he smiling? Jude thought suspiciously. They sat down as she poured the final glass of red wine and they all stood and took hands to say grace. The three most intense looks were being given by Sadie, her eyes shooting daggers into Jude, Tommy, his love warming her over, and Speed whose lust was completely evident by the drooling look he gave her.

The dinner passed peacefully with talk of food, and apartments, and future tours. As Jude passed the pumpkin pie, Tommy stood up and retrieved something from the pocket of his coat. Jude was oblivious to everything, and when she neared his end of the table he brought her to his side.

"I'd like to make a toast. To Jude whose hard work and hard earned cash is providing for this fine feast tonight. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. "Tommy Paused as the unanimous voice around the table echoed the toast "To Jude!". Tommy continued slowly. "Jude I've wanted to ask you something for a while now," Tommy reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black velvet box and knelt down on one knee. As he was doing this Sadie was slowly walking around the table with a large glass of red wine in her hand. "Jude will you ma-"He was stopped by a splash of red wine in his face.

"You bastard" Sadie said dropping the expensive crystal onto the hard wood floor shattering it. "I hope you rot in hell" She turned on her heel and stormed out of the apartment. Jude looked as if she were going to cry. So Tommy returned to his knee, on the glass covered floor, and looked her in the eyes.

"Jude, will you marry me?" Tommy asked opening the black velvet box revealing the stunning white gold engagement ring.

"Oh Tommy Yes!" Jude cried as he slipped it on her finger.

And then the alarm clock rang. Jude groggily sat up and then looked at her hand to see if there really was a ring there or if she simply dreamed that part of last night's dinner…
