Chapter 3: Night Before

When Jude walked in the door, she didn't know where Tommy was. She walked up the stairs to her room, and she saw the bathroom light on. She walked in and Tommy was in the shower. She decided what the hell. She shut the door quietly and took her clothes off. She stepped in the shower without making a sound and she put her arms around him.

"Jude what are you doing in here?" He asked out of breath.

"I decided to surprise you."

"I think that you do more than that." He said kissing her. Tommy pushed Jude against the wall and he kissed every part of her body. Jude let out a little moan and she kissed Tommy back.

"All right, I think that you should sleep downstairs tonight."

"Why?" He asked kissing her neck.

"Because, I won't get any sleep, and I'm going to need it." She said.

"But, that is what the plane ride is for; it helps with the jet lag that you're going to experience." He said nibbling on her ear lobe.

"Screw it." She said and she kissed Tommy passionately.

They stayed in the shower until the hot water ran out. They got out of the shower, and Tommy wrapped a towel around him, and Jude put on her robe. She grabbed a towel and squeezed the water out of her hair, and the doorbell rang. Jude went downstairs to answer the door, and she opened it.

"D, what are you doing here?" Jude asked.

"I wanted to talk to you about something." He said and the door opened, and he came inside with Portia.

"Jude, who was at the door." Tommy said as he was coming down the stairs in just a towel. He put his arms around her waist.

"I think that you need to leave." Jude said.

"Jude, I really need to talk to you." Portia said.

"Portia, I think she told you to leave." Tommy said.

"Tommy, please just let her talk." D said.

"Darius, Portia I think that you need to leave." She said to them.

"Look, I know I messed up but, I want you both to listen to me." Portia pleaded.

"Look, I know that you're sorry about what happened. But, Portia what you did almost got me killed and I would be dead if Hunter hadn't approached Tommy first. I really don't want to fight with you but, I think it's best if you leave." Jude said to her and Portia and Darius walked out and she shut the door behind them.

"Wow, you put them in their places." Tommy said.

"I know, I have never smarted off to Darius or Portia before, and right now I could careless because of everything that happened."

"Well then, I'm glad to see that you have finally disrespected your bosses."

"Oh hush it Quincy." She said standing on her tiptoes to kiss him. "Alright, I need to pack." Jude said and she went upstairs into her room and shut the door. When she was done she came downstairs with two bags, and she changed into Tommy's button down shirt that he had taken off before he got in the shower.

"Who said that you could wear my shirt?" He said.

"Who said you could use my shower?" She said. She sat her bags down next to Tommy's and she walked over to the couch and he followed her.

Jude turned on the t.v. and she flipped through the channels. She didn't find anything worth watching. She got up and went to the movie collection and looked for a movie.

"What movie should we watch?" She asked Tommy, while she was looking through the cabinet.

"I don't know, perhaps a scary movie?" He asked, although he knew what the answer would be.

"You can't be serious Quincy?" She asked him with a frown on her face.

"Alright, pick something else." He said. Jude finally decided on a movie, she took it out and put it in the DVD player.

"Jude, what are we watching?" He asked.

"You'll see Quincy." She said. Jude put in one of her favorite movies and she was sure that Tommy hated it.

"Not this Jude." He said. Jude put in 'Pearl Harbor', and she knew that Tommy hated it.

"Oh yes, we are watching it and you're going to get over it."

Tommy finally gave up, and he got quiet. Jude loved this movie, and it drove Tommy crazy. He hated chick flicks, like Jude hated horror movies. They just clicked like that. It's kinda like the old saying opposites attract. Jude watched the movie but, she kept looking up at Tommy. He was partially asleep and she was about to drop.

"What time is it?" Jude asked him trying to keep him awake.

"Around midnight."

"The movie is almost over." She said, and he got this smile on his face. "You're impossible Quincy."

"Oh hush Harrison, I can't stand chick flicks."

"So, I don't care. It's my house, and we'll watch what I want to." She said in her prissiest voice.

"All right then, I'll get you back when ever you stay with me."

"I shouldn't have made that last comment huh?" She said, she knew what was coming.

"Nope, I'll remember it though Harrison." He said. "How about we go to bed?" He said. Her eyes were halfway shut and she was partially asleep. He picked her up and carried her up the stairs.

He got up to her room, and he laid her down on the bed and he climbed in beside her. Tommy set the alarm that was by Jude's bed and he accidentally woke her up. Tommy just looked at her. She was wearing one of his shirts and he was only wearing boxers. He turned towards her and he leaned into kiss her.

They lied there kissing forever. Jude finally fell asleep in Tommy's arms and with her head on his chest. She was actually happy that nothing happened while they were in the shower, or tonight. She wanted to wait, and besides they had an entire adventure ahead of them.
