Chapter 12

Jude woke up before Tommy. She slipped out of his arms and went to the bathroom. She slashed water on her face trying to remember if last night really happened.

"Yes it happened, and I'm an idiot." Tommy's voice startled her.

"Hum or yodel when you walk." She said bracing herself against the counter.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." He said wrapping his arms around her from behind.

In that moment somehow she was able to find the humor in the situation. "Put that thing away." She said trying her best not to laugh.

"Sorry." He said sheepishly and letting go of her.

"I'm going to make coffee. You do what you gotta do." She left laughing.

Tommy just shook his head with a chuckle. He was a grown man, but she still made him feel like a teenager.

"You know what we should do?" He said feeding her a strawberry. They'd just said 'I love you' for the first time, and he felt like he could take on the world.

"What?"

"They are starting the late night carnival down by the pier. We should go check it out one night.

"Carnival? In public?"

"Sure why not? It starts at nine every night. We could get Sadie and Kwest to come along. Live dangerously and make out on the top of the Ferris wheel." He felt like he was reliving his teenage years.

"I'll repeat, in public?"

"I know what you are thinking, but no one from G Major will be there, and there's usually a crowd that we could get lost in. We could be normal for a night."

"That's sweet, Tommy, but do you know how many teenage girls will be there? Especially the weekend before school starts. Maybe we can go to a midnight movie or something."

"Wouldn't that break curfew?"

"Yeah, but mom's never home. I'm not sure where she's been running off to lately."

"I guess we could do something like that. I didn't think about all the teenage girls at the pier."

"You know me always looking out for ya."

"So, why don't we make plans for Friday night?"

"Okay."

Friday, Tommy was nervous. Tommy Q didn't do nervous. It wasn't like they'd never gone on a date. They'd been to the coffee house a few times, but tonight was different. He's set up a semi romantic dinner before the movie. He wanted them both to have a nice night because he wasn't sure when they'd get another one. Before he left his apartment, he checked his wallet making sure he didn't need to go by the ATM. He pulled out a little foil package. "I won't need that for a while." He said out loud to himself and threw it the trash. He wanted to make sure Jude knew how he felt about her. There would be no pushing, or finding it somewhere else. Jude was all he wanted.

He drove by making sure her mom's car wasn't home first, before picking her up. "Wow!" He said when she got in the car.

"Really?"

"Where did you get that dress?" Other than G Major event lately, she didn't wear dresses.

"It's Sadie's. She was all excited."

"What about you?"

"Of course." She said with a smile. "Anything to spend extra time with you."

He smiled reaching for her hand. "So, your mom?"

"MIA again. Sadie doesn't know what's going on either."

"I'm sure it's nothing bad." He said as he turned going toward their destination.

"Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise."

"I don't like surprises. Why are we going toward G Major?"

"Living dangerously." Tommy said parking the car.

"Tommy, we can get caught."

Tommy just winked at her. "Don't worry. D is in San Francisco for the weekend. And my helpers won't let us get caught."

Tommy led them to the top of the parking garage where he let her drive his Viper on her sixteenth birthday. There was a small round table with two plates and a candle in the middle. There was a note that said, "Have fun. Were on the lookout. S and K."

"Wow" Jude seemed speechless. "You did all this for me?"

"Of course, I love you and I want you to know it every day."

As they sat and ate, Tommy couldn't take his eyes off her. "What?" She asked lightly blushing.

"Remind me to thank Sadie. You look absolutely beautiful tonight." She looked down at her plate, and he couldn't help but wonder what was on her mind. "What are you thinking, Big Eyes?"

"I'm still getting used to your complements." She said shyly.

He loved that she wasn't like all the other girls from his past. She was modest, and wanted to be with him for who he really was. Her being young didn't even matter anymore. "Well, get used to them because I'm going anywhere any time soon."

"Good." She gave him a bright smile.

At the theater they were the only ones there. Tommy hadn't rented it out, but it was the midnight show. He wasn't worried about running about running into anybody.

He was sure the movie was good, but he watched her most of the time. When she would laugh her whole face would light up and her eyes would squint.

"You're not watching the movie." She said leaning over on his shoulder.

"What I'm watching is so much better." He replied lifting her chin so they were looking at each other. "You know life is about to get really crazy."

"I know. And I also know we might not get to see each other a whole lot."

"We'll do what we can." He said before kissing her. The kiss was simple and sweet, but grew as they shifted in their seats. Tommy was definitely acting like a teenager.

She kept giggling on the drive home. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing." She answered in a tone that made him really want to know. "It's silly. Don't worry about it." She continued.

"Come on I want to know the joke."

"It's not a joke. It's just, I've never been the girl to care, but I made out with Little Tommy Q in the back of a movie theater. Do you know how many girls would love to be in my place?"

He couldn't help but laugh, too. She wasn't one to care, and he knew this. She'd called him lame the first day they met. "Well, you're the only girl I want there."

"Good answer. I had a great time tonight."

"I did too. Maybe we can find times to sneak away." He was really dreading going back to work the next week. If he could stay in that moment with her forever he would.

"I better go in. Don't know when mom might get home." She said as they were sitting in front of her house.

"I call you tomorrow."

"You better."

He didn't mind acting like a teenager with her, because he knew she was the one he wanted to grow old with. "Shower's free for you." He said walking into the kitchen.

"Okay, coffee is ready." She said with a bright smile.

"Are you still making fun of me?"

"No, I'm just wondering something."

"What?"

"What twenty-five year old male doesn't carry a condom in their wallet?"

He just gave her a look. "Okay. I'm going to get ready for work."
