Chapter 6: No Privacy

That night after dinner Tommy and I took a walk on the pier overlooking the ocean, and far in the distance you could see the Greek Isles. I don't know why I followed him here but, I did and I wasn't going anywhere without him. I wanted this to last but, I still had the doubts in the back of my mind. I knew that this was going to be a very public relationship and things were going to have to change.

Tommy and I looked like any other couple in love. We walked side by side in sync with each others movements, and we held hands tightly. We haven't been spotted yet, and I was planning on it. It was a beautiful Italian sunset. My mind couldn't help but, wonder what happened the last time that he was here.

The last time Tommy was here, he was alone with Sadie, in a house on the coast. I knew things were different then but, I still couldn't wonder what happened between them. I wanted to know but, I didn't want to bring that up again unless I necessarily had to. I knew things got deep between them fast, but I wondered what went on during the time they were alone.

"Tommy," I asked him.

"What is it?"

"The last time you were here, last summer with Sadie, did anything happen?" I knew I shouldn't have asked, and I regretted the words leaving my mouth but, I had to know.

"Things happened, Jude. I thought you knew."

"Did she meet your family?"

"No she didn't. The part of the country we were in was no where near my family. Jude, why did you want to know?" He asked me.

"It's just that I knew that things happened between you two, and I know that I love you but, I was curious. I never asked Sadie about your time together here." I said.

"Jude, I would never hurt you or at least not again. I was actually hoping that you would follow me here. Things happen for a reason, and I believe in that. I love you Jude. I want no one else, and if it makes you feel better, you're the only one I have ever brought home, and I never even brought Portia." That made me feel a little bit better about everything.

"You're serious?" I asked him.

"Yes. I thought you knew me better than that?"

"I thought I did to. I thought that you'd at least bring your wife home to the family."

"Yeah, I thought about it but, my dad hates Darius. So I knew that would not go over well." He sheepishly admitted.

"Oh" was all I managed to say to him.

Tommy picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, and started running down to the beach. I was pounding him on his back and he wouldn't stop. I knew he was trying to get me into the water, and I didn't want that to happen because then I would have to walk around in his clothes until he decided to leave.

"Tommy stop it come on" I screamed and he kept going. He started spinning in circles until I thought I was going to puke. "TOMMY" I yelled again before I ran out of breath.

"Alright here," he out me down. I stumbled a little bit at first because I was suddenly very, very, very dizzy and I didn't want to make any sudden movements. When I stumbled I fell, a little backwards and almost landed in the water. I caught myself just in time.

"Not funny Quincy." I said to him.

"Yeah, it is. You should have seen the look on your face." I knew the look was a little funny but, I didn't know that it would make Tommy fall into laughter.

I noticed a press camera sneaking up on me and Tommy, so I decided to make it worth there while. I grabbed Tommy and pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss. I felt Tommy hesitate a little but, he let me in. I reached me hands under his shirt, and I knew the press would get that shot because his back was facing them.

We were in the kiss for what seemed like forever, when we pulled away gasping for breath. I looked into his eyes, and he looked back. I knew he was planning something but, I didn't know what. He pulled my close to him, and he put his arms back around my waist.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"Nothing, did I ever how gorgeous you are?" He said to me and he kissed my forehead.

"No but, I like to heart it. Tommy look behind you." I told him in his ear. He looked behind him and he saw the camera. He knew we were being followed and decided to make the most of it.

"You know that Darius won't like seeing us on the front page of the papers." I said to him.

"That's exactly my point." He said to me, and he sat down on the sand. Tommy pulled me down on top of him and he kissed me. I knew where this was going and I knew that this was going to be hard to control. I pushed Tommy's jacket off and he slid off my jacket as well. We fell back onto the sand wrapped in each others embrace.

I loved to feel the warmth of his body on mine. Things were getting heated fast. But, I didn't want to let him go. We both lied there with Tommy on top of me kissing me for a while. I didn't want this moment to end but, I knew that it would. After a while we figure the press had given up and he got off of me. He rolled over and laid down beside me, holding my hand.

"This is not going to be pretty." I told him.

"Do you think I care about the anymore? I am done pleasing the press." He said to me.

"True, now my life is going to be funny. We well have to be behind closed doors to ever get a moment of peace." I told him.

"Now, you are officially a celebrity Ms. Harrison." He said to me.

"Yeah, I know." The sun had already set for the night. It was getting cold, and I put my jacket back on. Me and Tommy both figured that we had given the press enough show for the night. We both walked back to his house, hand in hand.

When we got back we were greeted at the door by Aiden, and Amy. I figured that it wasn't good. They grabbed Tommy's arm and drug him in the living room, and I followed. They turned the TV on and it was me and Tommy on the beach. I was in shock, I knew that there was a photographer there but, I didn't know that a news drew was there following our every move.

My mouth fell to the floor, and Tommy's eyes were wide with surprise. I didn't think that they were there. I didn't want my life in the press anymore but, I knew that it wasn't going to happen. Tommy almost fell to the floor, I grabbed into his arm before he fell, and we both walked to the couch and sat down.

Amy and Aiden both looked at us in awe. I could tell that they liked us together, they both said that we wee a good couple. Tommy's parents didn't like me and I knew my parents didn't like him, so I knew that this in the press wasn't going to be good. I also knew that this was going to end up on the news back in the states and Darius wasn't going to be pleased.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and I pulled it out. A picture of Georgia and EJ flashed on the screen, I hadn't heard from them in a while, and I knew that it wasn't good.

"Hello," I casually said.

"Jude be honest with me, what is going on?" Georgia asked me.

"So G, your not going to even take the time out to say 'Hey Jude how's it going' you just jump into my personal life?" I asked them both. I knew that they had me on speaker phone.

"Yes, I do want to know how you're doing but, I also want to know why there is news footage of you and Tommy making out on the beach." She asked me.

"We both knew the press was following us, so we decided to give them a show that they would never forget."

"Jude, you can't be kidding?"

"No, EJ I'm not, I am with Tommy, and I love him and he loves me back, so deal with it. It's not like you're my bosses anymore, even though I still love you both." I said to them.

"Your right, I do know for a fact that Tommy has liked you sine he first met you. Oh yeah, I also know that he didn't want to take the kiss back but, he did because he didn't want to cost both of you your jobs." She stated to me.

"Oh really?" I asked her. I looked at Tommy very suspiciously, and then went back to talking.

"What was that for?" Tommy asked me. I gave him this look, and he went back to minding his own business.

The next thing I knew, Tommy grabbed my phone right out of my hand.

"Tommy give me the phone back?" I trued to grab the phone from him but, he started talking to them.

"So EJ, what have you been pouring into Jude's mind, that she gave me her go to hell look?" He asked her.

"Nothing why would you say that?" she asked him.

"Never mind" he said. He kissed me lightly on the head. He hung the phone up and he turned off the TV.

"Enough of that crap. It's the same thing over again." He said.

"True." I said. I go up off of the couch and ran upstairs into Tommy's room. I went over to the dresser and pulled out one of his t-shirts and some of his sweatpants and changed.

I felt a hand around my waist just as I was trying to slip the shirt over my head. Tommy turned me around and threw the shirt down on the ground. I knew what was going to happen yet, and I didn't stop it.
