Chapter 22 (part 4)
Leopardi:what do you have in mind?
Jamie:if he got rich with contraband and we can demonstrate it we can have part of the sum
Robert:for me it will be wonderful
Leopardi:but it's not going to be easy
Jamie:we have nothing to lose by trying...just make a few questions, control him and see his moves he must do a mistake
Robert:Leopardi you can have someone that control his every move
Jamie:it will be better if one of our men works for him
Leopardi:a servant
Jamie:yes
Leopardi:he will not take a servant he just keeps his friends around him
Jamie:but if we have a young guy orphan and a grandma he has to feed..his soon to be wife Jude Harrison is very generous and I don't think that Tommy will say no if she'll be the one that asks him
At the Harrison's house Jude and Tommy were in the living room alone
and Tommy was giving Jude the engagement ring he bought for her.
Tommy:do you like it?
Jude:it's very beautiful
Tommy:it's my ring for you of our engagement
Jude:thanks
Tommy:can I kiss you?
Jude nodded and Tommy bent down and kissed her with all the
passion, love and desire a person can have. While they were kissing Sadie came down the stairs and saw the kiss and of course it didn't go unnoticed of how they both looked together. She stopped and did let herself to get noticed.
Chris went to Tommy's new house to talk to him. Angelica opened the door.
Chris:is Tommy here?
Angelica:no
Chris:do you know when he gets back?
Angelica:no
Chris:then tell him that I need to talk to him and that I'm here till tomorrow
With that he left.
Mercedes:it was Mr Chris right?
Angelica:yes
Mercedes:why does he want to talk to Mr Tommy?
Angelica:maybe he wants to fight
Mercedes:and why?
Angelica:ah I haven't told you yet....his wife was one of Tommy's lovers
Mercedes:Mr Chris's wife?
Angelica:yeah who could imagine....Miss Jude knows and you think she cares no...and then they talk bad about poor people
At the Harrison's house Tommy left and Jude was in her room Victoria
and Sadie were talking in the living room.
Sadie:they were here and they were kissing...but don't think it was an innocent kiss it was a matter of seconds that they would have took off their clothes and did it
Victoria:and why didn't you do something?
Sadie:what could I do?...I saw them and I walked away.......I mother..I never left Tommy disrespect me in that way
Meanwhile Jude was in her room admiring her engagement ring when
there was a knock at the door and Victoria came in.
Victoria:Jude can I know why you acted like a whore?
Jude:what did I do?
Victoria:your sister saw you kiss Tommy in a way you shouldn't
Jude:Sadie was there?
Victoria:ah so you admit it...yes she was
Jude:you know Tommy gave me the ring of our engagement....see
Victoria:that doesn't give you the right to lose your mind
Jude:Tommy is like that mother and we're getting married
Victoria:I don't care how he is I care that you will be strong and keep your conduct good....and you have to keep your innocence until you leave this house and go to the church...because if you give him this liberty now he will expects more
Jude:more?
Victoria:other intimacy
Jude:mum there are things that I don't understand and I want you to explain to me
Victoria:what things?
Jude:about marriage
Victoria:look I....its better if you talk with your sister
Jude:no, no with her no....please mother...just tell me what it means by making love
Victoria:these are not talks that are made by a mother to her daughter....listen it's better if you ask to your husband but not now Jude only when you're married
And with that she turned to leave but before she did she turned and
told Jude.
Victoria:and don't leave him kiss you like that again
At Tommy's house
Tommy:when did he come?
Angelica:a few minutes ago...he said he wanted to talk to you
Tommy:he's here on the beach?
Angelica:yes, he said he will be here until tomorrow
Tommy left and Angelica went in the kitchen where Mercedes was.
Mercedes:he left?
Angelica:yes
Mercedes:don't be angry..it's normal that when a man wants to get married he search for a girl of his level
Angelica:but Tommy is not a man of high class he's one of us do you understand?
Mercedes:maybe he was before but not now
Angelica:he is the same even if he dress more nice and lives in a house like this and Miss Jude will not make him happy I know
Mercedes:my grandfather and aunty told me that she's a good person
Angelica:it's all appearance
Mercedes:I don't think so and even if it like that what do you want to do?
Angelica:what can I do?......I will not permit her
At the Harrison's house Carmen was in Jude's room arranging her bed
when Jude asked some questions to her.
Jude:Carmen do you know what happens between a husband and a wife?
Carmen:what do you mean?
Jude:I mean the intimacy....what they do when they are alone?
Carmen:no, Miss don't ask me these things
Jude:why?
Carmen:because then your mother will shout with me
Jude:I will tell her nothing I promise..and after all I'm getting married and from what told me my sister there will be something...please Carmen tell me
Carmen:what?....you really don't know anything?
Jude:no
Carmen:I mean your friends or your mother never told you anything?
Jude:my mother said that these are not talk that you make with her and with my friends....we talked about kisses, touches but....I know there will be something more.....something that no one want to talk to me about
Carmen:no, Miss I'm too ashamed
Jude:but why are you shy?......please Carmen don't leave
But Carmen left the room.
