Chapter 18: The Bet
So as Tommy was lying there on the bed on his back with his arms stretched behind his head, I just stood there. I watched him sleep and I watched his heart move. This moment was perfect, and I didn't want it to end. But, I decided to add a little humor to this anyways.
I walked over to the dresser and I took of my clothes and put on one of Tommy's old t-shirts that I always wear. It looked like Tommy was asleep so, I decided that he wasn't going to end his night that way. I went over to the bed and I pounced on him.
"Jude Elizabeth Harrison, what are you doing?" He asked in surprise.
"What I am trying to have fun, with my fiancé." I said to him.
"Look it's midnight we have to sleep sometime so we can go and finish mixing that song you know the one you wanted to leave hanging until six tomorrow morning." He said.
"I know, and I was kinda hoping that you'd forget about it." I said.
"Not a chance Harrison this is both of our asses on the line, I'm not forgetting that."
"Tommy, I know why you want to read my journal but, I just can't those are my private thoughts and I can't just let my heart out to the one person that technically speaking, every single entry is about." I said.
"See if you would have told me this from the beginning then I wouldn't have been such a pain."
"Well you never asked me." I said.
"Well then how about we get some sleep and then go into work around say five or six and we get that song done."
"Deal." I said. I crawled to the head of the bed and crawled under the covers. It was freezing in Tommy's room but, as soon as Tommy was beside me everything was fine. He warmed me up, and I loved it. I was going to love living here permanently from now on.
I felt Tommy turn over and set the clock to sometime between five and six I just didn't know when exactly so I was going to get a great surprise when I woke up. I wasn't a morning person, at all. If Tommy wanted me up that early he was going to have to have coffee waiting for me when I opened my eyes.
"Tommy, what time is the alarm set?" I asked him. His back was to me, and he turned to face me.
"Five forty-five."
"A.M." I yelled.
"Yes, that song is going to take a while. Please just bear with me in the morning." He said.
"Well then if you want me up that early you're going to have to have coffee directly in my face." I said. He leaned in and he kissed me.
"So, you know you can't kiss me and expect me to shut up." I said.
"Yeah but, I can give it a shot."
"No wonder, you know what I'm not going to get any sleep living with you Quincy, so when I am addicted to coffee and caffeine remember that it's all you're fault." I said.
"How is it my fault? You're the one who wears my shirts that are way to short on you and I guess you can't help it that you're the most gorgeous woman in the world."
"I can't help it that I'm hot."
"I know, just like I can't help it that you can't find anyways to resist me."
"Oh you think that do you? I bet you that I can go two days without kissing you or anything intimate." I said.
"What do you bet?"
"If I win, and I can go the entire two days you have to record and release a solo album." I said.
"Alright, then if I win, you have to….."
"Spit it out already." I said, lightly punching him in the arm.
"You have to…wow this is going to take a while."
"Tommy spit it out." I said getting very agitated.
"Fine you have to let me read you're journal." He said. I was hoping that it would be anything but that, and I was wrong.
"You have a deal." I said.
"Alright it starts as soon as we walk into G-Major tomorrow morning." He said.
"So, it's one o'clock now. Damn and I want to get some sleep to." I said.
"You're not getting any sleep if I can't do anything with you the next two days." He said.
He pulled me towards him, and I kissed him passionately. I ran my hands through his still perfect hair and I let him lift my shirt over my head. I intertwined my legs with his and I continued to kiss him.
Our bodies were intertwined as I slid his pants down. Tommy rolled over and he got on top of me. I smiled at him and he smiled back. He moved his lips from my lips, to my neck, to my collar bone, and all the way up and down my stomach and back. I shivered a little bit.
"I love you Mr. Quincy." I whispered in his ear.
"I love you too, Mrs. Soon to be Quincy." He whispered back.
Tommy slid himself inside of me, and I let out a moan. Soon after, we were asleep wrapped in each others arms. I don't know how I got myself into this bet but, I did. I was also going to win it to. I wasn't going to let Tommy read my journal.
