Chapter 22 (part 2)
Tommy:a visit?.....or did she came to try to stop our wedding?.....did she convinced you?...answer me
Jude said nothing, Tommy cupped her chin and made her look at him
and then he bent down and kissed her on the lips. It was a sweet kiss
but it turned quickly in to a passionate one. Tommy had even bent her
down on her back and he was almost on top of her. In that moment a
flash back of what Sadie told her came in Jude's mind so she turned her
face away from Tommy. Then a second later she got up and left running
inside.
In the evening Carmen and Sadie went to Quest's tavern. Tommy was in
his room at Quest's when he heard a knock at his door and Quest came
in.
Tommy:what do you want?
Quest:there is a person downstairs that wants to talk to you
Tommy:who?
Quest:Mrs Sadie
Tommy:tell her to come up
Quest left and went to tell Sadie to go up. Seconds later Sadie entered
Tommy's room.
Sadie:why are you living here?
Tommy:what do you want?
Sadie:I can't even sit?
Tommy:what do you prefer the chair....or my bed?
Without saying anything Sadie sat on the bed.
Tommy:what is this an invite?
Sadie:why not?
Tommy:I'm already of someone else and you're married
Sadie:and so what?
Tommy:why are you here?......to tell me again to not marry your sister?
Sadie:yes
Tommy:then you're wasting your time and to be sincere it's getting to my nerves
Sadie:Tommy listen to me, I know I hurt you badly....you can't imagine how sorry am I right now but I think it's a crazy thing to marry Jude just to take revenge
Tommy:I already told you that ..that is not all
Sadie:fine whatever is the reason you can't marry a woman that is in love with another man...that cries for another....you know that even today she called me out for it she told me why didn't you kept your Tommy and left Chris alone...do you really want a woman like this?.....that she will thinks about another man when she's making love with you?
Tommy:when did she told you all this?......at what hour?
Sadie:a little bit before lunch why?....please don't marry her....we can keep seeing each other...I can convince Chris to let me come here
Tommy:don't touch me.....you and your sister are just the same...go away...OUT
Sadie:how you wish but I love you....I love you so much and this is a reality that you can't ever erase Tommy
The next morning Tommy went to talk to Darius in his office.
Darius:good morning Tommy
Tommy:good morning
Darius:early this morning
Tommy:yeah I need to go order the furniture but first I wanted to know if the document of the house are ready
Darius:yes, yes I'll give them the money today but before...it's better if you talk to Jude
Tommy:why?
Darius:because it looks like she doesn't want to get married anymore
Tommy:I was already betrayed one time but this time I'm not going to permit it
Darius:wait at least let me explain
Tommy:what do you want to explain?....that I became a toy of those two girls?
Darius:don't do things that then you will regret
Tommy:that's my choice...and if Jude decided that she doesn't want to marry me anymore then she has to be the one that tells me why
Darius:you know exactly that Jude is too shy to do it
Tommy:believe me I will make her shyness go
Darius:you can't have people do what you want
Tommy:what are you saying?.....they are the ones doing what they want with me...the first one was Sadie, she swear to marry me when she already was engaged with another
Darius:but what happened with Jude was different
Tommy:even she is being rude.....was I that asked her to marry me?
Darius:but her motives were...
Tommy:go fuck her motives
Darius:Tommy calm down now...I know that it's something big for you do digest
Tommy:it's an offence to my dignity..... even worst from the one received before.....because back then no one knew about Sadie...but now it's already made the date of our wedding......all people around here can't stop talking about this
Darius:weren't you the one that always said that you don't care of others people opinion?
Tommy:there are things that I care about
Darius:come on....please Tommy be reasonable....you wedding will be a mistake....you want to marry Jude to get revenge of Sadie and Jude she's doing it to keep the honour of her brother in law
Tommy:I don't want to back out from getting married
Darius:why?
Tommy:because it's like that
Darius:but that's not a good answer
Without another word Tommy left and went immediately to Jude's
house. Victoria was in the living room when she heard a knock, she
opened and Tommy came in.
Tommy:good morning
Victoria:good morning
Tommy:I need to talk to Jude
Victoria:sure I go call her
Tommy:alone
Victoria:what did you say?
Tommy:I want to talk to her alone
Victoria:you can't
Tommy:I insist...please it's very important
Victoria:fine
With that she left and went for Jude.
Victoria:Jude Tommy is here to see you...he said he needed to talk to you alone it's important.......if god wants maybe he's here to pull off the engagement..but if it's not for that please sweetie take out all your courage and do it yourself
Jude:mum..
Victoria:the fastest you do it the better...and about the scandal and all things don't worry you have my approve......go I wait for you here
A few seconds later Jude came in the living room alone.
Tommy:good morning
Jude:good morning......my mother told me you wanted to talk to me
Tommy:yes, you want to sit?
She said nothing but didn't sit down.
Tommy:I come from Darius's office...he told me that you're thinking to call off the engagement...are you surprised that he told me?
Jude:it's just....I didn't know that Mr Darius...
Tommy:that he knows?....I'm sure your mother told him.....why you don't want to marry me anymore?....what did it change from when you told me yes at the Dutois's mansion?......when I met you I thought you were different from your sister but now I'm seeing that you're identical
Jude:no, this is not true
Tommy:than show me by doing the exact opposite of what she did by telling me the truth....why you don't want me anymore?
Jude:because............Sadie says that she's pregnant
Tommy:and?
Jude:she says that.......that's it's your child
