Les Voeux Dans Le Claire de Lune
Vows In The Moonlight
Chapter 6: Regret Decayed Time
I have a few choice words for those that didn't review, but I'm a lady and refuse to type it.
Yes, I'm still shocked that people like what I write. I'm not used to being good at anything. This chapter is mostly romance but I managed to put in some humor.
Disclaimer is on my profile page.
This is it...
Jude's song is running through my head now. It may have been written by her and Spiederman, but you know it's about Jude and me. Spied was just filling a void, well not really filling it, he kinda just covered it up.
He's like Jacob, he went for Bella but couldn't compete with the memory of Edward. I'll be happy to be Edward, sure he's a little sappy, but he's a romantic guy. I can relate to that, even though romance has never been a strong point for me.
I don't change my mind for anybody.
I won't waste my time on just anybody.
I won't share my life...
With anyone but you
It's such a long way...
With anyone but you
I couldn't follow...
With anyone but you
Never anyone but you
They put my poster on the wall,
They watch and wait for me to fall,
They think they made me who I am.
Oh they don't know me at all.
I don't change my mind for anybody.
I won't waste my time on just anybody.
I won't share my life...
With anyone but you
It's such a long way...
With anyone but you
I couldn't follow...
With anyone but you
Never anyone but you
They build you up so high
So you can hardly see the stars beneath your feet
I'm falling through the cloud
Then it'll be the next to catch me
Tom Quincy is fearless he can pull this off, he can admit what he feels. She sits there not sure what to expect. Her hands tremor in mine. I can almost see her trying to figure out the words I'm going to use. Likely how I'm going to break her heart again.
I have to do this quickly, but carefully, if I don't I could ruin any chance I had with her, again.
"I'm not sure how to say this, so bear with me. You know that we've never had a normal friendship, and..." Wow, this is harder than I thought it would be. I take a quick breath, she's looking at me waiting, her face is blank. She doesn't want to show how much the suspense in killing her. Or she really doesn't want to be here.
I used to be able to read her easily. But its becoming more and more difficult. Possibly because I put a little distance between us when I'll I wanted to do was, you know. You know some of what I want to do to her.
Was that...? Yes it was. The smallest sign if happiness in her eyes, that's after everything registered. I think she gets I don't want to break her, I want to love her.
"Girl..." the door swung, I turn my head to see the person at the top of my hit list, they automatically earned that when they interrupted. I caught Jude's reaction before I completely looked over. Her eyes lit up and her mouth hung open in amazement.
"Mason?" She thought her eyes were deceiving her, but when she was sure, "Mason." I didn't think she could scream that high. I have to fight back a smile now. She has now forgotten me sitting here trying to tell her the most important thing possible, she gets up and runs up to him and looks like she's going to squeeze the life out of him.
He has a grin on his face as he holds onto her small waist. I don't care if he isn't into her, I'll castrate him, its not like he needs it anyway. Sadie is standing behind them talking to an extremely tired Kwest, she looked over at me and sees I'm fuming and pulls the happy little reunion away from me.
I put my elbows on the soundboard and my head in my hands. When all the games were going to be done, I get disrupted by Brokeback over there. I stare at the back of his head hoping to form a hole in his bald spot. I've got a few years on him and he's balding before me. Wha... wait is he, Jude's cousin is checking out Mason.
Maybe he can distract him while I get Jude alone again to finally finish what I started. I look over and see Wally passing by, "hey, Wally, I need a favor."
Five minutes later Mason is so absorbed by Jo- Jer- it starts with a J, Jude is now alone and looking very confused. Guess she didn't know about her cousin and his... preferences.
I thinks she said he was from Pickle Lake, that now takes on a whole new meaning. When Jude and I are together we're definitely not going to visit him there.
I go up to her and pull her away from the crowd and into a secluded corner. I look straight into her eyes and caress her cheek with the back of my hand. "Jude, baby," I think I'm scaring her now, her eyes are wide and her lips separated. I should say 'yes you heard me right', but I'm in a bit of a hurry. I could get cut off again.
"What I was trying to say before is that-"
"JUDE!" This is not happening. Her eyes immediately find Darius. "In my office NOW!" She looks back apologetically and goes toward his office, I try to hold onto her hand with no success. It slips from my grasp and I have an emptiness within me now. I'm a Drama Tommy, I can't help it sometimes.
I crash on the nearest couch and sigh deeply, Kwest plops down next to me. His eyes close immediately and his snoring starts; how long was he here with Jude? Sadie walks up behind the couch and kisses his forehead then sits down next to me.
"What?" I think I pretty much growled, she acts shocked then smirks.
"Didn't get a chance to tell her, huh?" How does she.. oh Kwest. And I'm sure she's not blind like Jude seems to be.
"That obvious?" Just because she's being nice to me doesn't mean I have to return the favor. I just want to sit here and wait for Jude to come out of Darius' office. She smirks again, oh how I hate that, and gets up to wake her boyfriend.
I tap my fingers on the arm of the sofa, as the minutes tick by. Five minutes turns to eight. Fifteen minutes turns to twenty two. And twenty seven minutes turns to forty five. I waited on the horribly lumpy piece of furniture for forty five minutes!
I grab her hand and pull her into a deserted room and lock the door. I don't think she expected my rough treatment of her, if she only knew, then I lock us into a room together. Those thought are rushing back when I really need to focus. I sit her down on the closest chair.
"I better get this out quick," she raises her eyebrows in a shocked manner then looked like she's about to bust out laughing, I was confused, then I realize what I said. "Wrong way to word that I know but seriously I have to say this before someone barges in again." I kneel in front of her so I'm at eye level.
"Okay, so say what you have to say." The laughter in her voice wasn't hidden well. I know she wanted to say something else along the lines of 'shoot'. I taught her too well.
"I've felt something for you for awhile now and I've also been fighting it, as you well know," she nods sadly, "but I'm tired of hiding it and fighting it. I can't imagine being with anyone else." I've dreamt of being with you so much no one can even be on your level. I need to leave that part out... for now. "You're it for me."
She tilts her head as if she didn't understand me. Her eyes searching mine looking for a lie. I know it might be hard to believe Tommy Quincy wants to be with one girl the rest of his life. But, hell, anything is possible.
"Why me?" Her voice shaky and she's breathless. She really has to ask that? I could use my line again but it would just ruin the mood. I shake my head and smile at her. I stand and help her do the same.
"Because, you're my girl." She lets out a breath that sounds like a nervous chuckle.
Then I get to do what I long to for these years. I hold her in my arms, close to my body. She's not struggling or hesitant for once. Instead she's clinging to me, I feel every curve she has, against me. Her innocent steel-blue eyes gaze lovingly up at me. My heart is melting at this look.
Her small frame molds to mine as I tuck her soft blond hair behind her ear. I smile gently at her as I see she's biting her lower lip in the way I love. Her nervousness is easily seen in her eyes. I know she'll give into whatever I want, but I won't push... much. I need to keep her at ease.
She needs to know how much I love her before I'll make her fulfill my every fantasy. And she will, I'll make damn sure that happens. But I'll gladly do the same for her, I won't be a demanding pig, I'll do anything for her or to her.
I start to lean into her. The glossiness of her perfect lips is urging me on. I want to feel the softness and the perfection of Jude, her lips that is. I love the taste of gloss she always wears. I usually like the taste, but when I was with Sadie I wanted to chirp my chips one time.
You know how hard it was to hide the fact I nearly chirped in my mouth. Come to think of it that kind of what it tasted like. I didn't know they made vomit flavored lip gloss. We obviously didn't last long after that incident.
I found out which one it was the next day and threw it out. I should have wrote a letter to the company complaining.
Trust me, Kwest would have gagged too if he had to taste it. He'd thank me, I think. He does like those Harry Potter jellybeans.
Her breath is choppy against my skin as I close the distance. I end up pushing her into a wall, this way I can make sure there is no possible space to creep between our bodies.
I kiss her in a way that she can't help but yield to me. There is no need for me to beg for her permission, she took the lead and did before I even had a chance. Her response was almost as urgent as mine, her hands move up my chest, one hand stopping on my neck and the other continues to my face. Her soft palm is flat on my cheek while her fingertips dig into my skin.
I feel her passion coming out of its cage. This is what I wanted, for her to release it all on me.
Somewhere far off I hear a really high pitched squeal, if it was any higher only dogs would be able to hear it. There are also a couple 'dudes' being tossed back and forth and something about a hat. Of course I pick a room with a window and thats not soundproof.
I hear a what sounded like a sandwich hitting the floor and 'Have you lost your skittle loving mind', then some running. Then it's all silent, but not before a sigh comes through, with an 'Finally' and 'I knew it all along'. And now I can concentrate on Jude.
She pulls away for a breath, her head is resting on me chest, just like when she slept in my bed with me. In all the nostalgia I do what I did that night. I move close to her ear to speak.
"I love you, so much," I then kiss down her neck to her shoulder. Her breathing changed as my hands slid down to rest on the small of her back.
"I love you too..." I felt like she wanted to add something so I pulled away from the embrace a bit, I can't let go of her body just yet, and looked down at her. "Little Tommy Q-y."
Song: Anyone But You by Alexz Johnson (I'm sure you already knew that)
'Skittle loving mind' I just came up with that to yell at my sister with. She's setting me up on a blind date. Please kill me!!!! By the time you read this I would have gone on the date with whatever his name is. I think, I might post early, so wish me luck, I just saw his picture and he is not my type at all. Go to Myspace and you'll see that all the guys I find attractive look very similar, sad. Tall, somewhat muscular, dark hair.
Chirping chips I got from Recess (Love), but I actually say this all the time.
I look forward to what you have to say about this. You get what that means: Review!
Thanks, Eternita14 (The Cookie Girl) or (BagChip Cookie). I'm an awesome nerd. I'll be coming back, soon! Keeping up the Tommy Torture since 6/10/07.
