Title of the chapter comes from the song "Back in Your Head "by Tegan and Sara
Chapter 6: Back in Your Head
Tom and Jade walked hand in hand along the fashion district of New York City. Jade had taken time off work to come support Tom at his conference. It had been weeks since she had anytime alone with him and she was starting to feel neglected. She was glad when she found out from Sarah that Tom was having a conference in New York of all places. She had been dying to look at the latest fashion trends as well as adding them to her wardrobe.
In the past week she had been getting the feeling that he seemed somewhat distant from her. He talked to her and still showed the same affection towards her but his mind seemed to be somewhere else. She felt she constantly had to wave her hand in his face to get his attention. She thought the fame of being Draco Malfoy was getting to him, but that wasn't it he was lively during the Q and A's he talked avidly with his fans at the meet and greet early that morning. So what was it?
They had been walking in and out of stores all day. Tom had purchased her several dresses and shoes to go along with each outfit. She had even purchased the dress she would wear the night of the party; a silver sequined dress with small round jewels around the waist line, with a v neckline and wide shoulder straps, the length to the dress was mid thigh and tight fitting just the way she liked it. He really did spoil her which is what she love most about him he treated her like a princess.
She hoped that his upcoming birthday she had planned would bring him out of his rut. Since today was really his birthday she thought they could celebrate his birth tonight in an adult manner. She decided that tonight she would be his birthday present. She hoped her little plan would work she was never denied sex before and she hoped he wasn't too distracted to deny it now.
As they rounded the corner, she spotted a nice little lingerie store on the other side of the street. They walked down further and she motioned to him to go into a Chanel store, he told her he wanted to go look at watches, she nodded and walked over to the counter of handbags. When the store clerk asked if she wanted to view a bag Jade quickly waved the woman away. She watched Tom go to the other side of the store and converse with the salesman. She knew she had just enough time to head over to the store across the street to look for something sexy to surprise him with tonight after dinner. When he got to looking at watches she knew he would want to try on every single one.
Jade bolted for the door as soon as she saw the salesman strap a watch to his wrist. She stood on the sidewalk and waited for traffic to clear before she dashed across the street. She entered the small shop waving at the greeting owner and quickly perused the store racks looking for something that he would like.
After looking through the racks she had finally found what she was looking for. She held the piece of fabric close to her body as she looked in the full length mirror this was sure to make him want her. In her hand she held a beautiful off white lace teddy with a ruffled hem and a very long plunging neck line with an all around floral pattern. Realizing she might be out of time soon she quickly took the piece of cloth up to the register.
"I'll be taking this" she said handing the store clerk the lingerie. She pulled out her credit card and held it in her hand.
"Oh this is very beautiful who is the lucky guy" said the woman at the register.
"My boyfriend, he seems down so I thought it would be nice to lift his spirits." Jade said cheerfully handing her card to the nice woman.
"Goodness girl, I'm sure you'll both enjoy this."
After making her purchase, she made her way back to the Chanel store and low and be hold Tom was still standing at the counter talking animatedly to the salesman. She walked over to the counter watching as Tom found a watch to his liking. He looked to her and smiled.
"Did you find anything you wanted?" he asked
"No not really. I was thinking maybe we could go out to dinner tonight?" she said running her hand through her hair.
"Sure love. Where would you like to go?" He said motioning to the salesman to ring up the watch he just tried on.
"I'm thinking maybe an Italian restaurant." She said twirling her hair in thought.
"Alright I'll see if the hotel can recommend a place for us to try tonight. I have another meet and greet in an two hours so when I'm done I'll come back get ready and we can go." He kissed her forehead and then her pouty lips and they headed out the store. His watch on his wrist and she clinging to his arm they went back to the hotel room to rest before their date.
He took her to a nice Italian restaurant with brick walls and dims lights, where eating by candle light provided the perfect romantic setting. They sat at a booth in a far back corner to have some privacy. The waiter came over and Tom ordered their finest bottle of red wine.
They sat in silence until their food arrived. It seemed to Jade the night was not going how she had expected. She wanted him to engage in the conversation first to make her feel like he wanted to be there with her. What was his mind so occupied with? She was growing aggravated with his behavior. He seemed to notice how bothered she was cause the moment she was about to get up and leave until he spoke.
"How's work?"
"It's going alright we're having some problems with our budgets but we're getting along fine. The stunt team is trying to break in a new girl and teach her the basics. She's getting it though. How was your conference earlier any girls throw themselves at you?"
He smiled "No it was just the usual questions 'Can you say Potter? Or my favorite 'Do you prefer Drarry or Dramione? It was good meeting everyone. I think I'm getting carpal tunnel from signing so many autographs and shaking hands" he chuckled
"How's it going with Sarah? She seems like a fireball?"His smile faltered a little but she hardly noticed taking a drink of her wine.
"She's great. She's been taking care of all my engagements and running small errands. I try to keep her busy." He said nonchalantly.
"That's good." Although she wasn't so sure the girl was doing her job. Sarah was supposed to be there to make more time for the two of them yet they rarely saw each other. She'd have to give it to her though, Sarah was up to date with all his little appointments if it wasn't for her Jade wouldn't have known a thing about this trip. So she would have to give her credit for that and for planning his birthday party on such short notice. She'll be the judge of how reliable Sarah is once they get back to London.
Silence had taken over the rest of their dinner. Jade contemplated if she was going to ask him what was going on with him but she didn't want to argue they were having a good night despite the fact little was being said. Maybe he was just tired.
They finished with dinner and the wine as well leaving the restaurant with a slight buzz. By this time he had loosened up which she was thankful for. She felt she would have to go back on her plan for the night if he was going to be distant. To her surprise he was the one open to being touchy. As they sat in the cab that would take them to their hotel his hands rubbed at her thigh closest to him. They were staying in a suite at the Hotel Plaza just across from central park so thankfully the ride there wouldn't take that long.
The moment the taxi came to a stop at the hotel Tom paid the driver and they hurriedly walked through the lobby and into the elevator that would take them to their floor. Finding themselves alone in the elevator he kissed her hungrily she did the same in return. Finally breaking apart as they reached the floor he grabbed her hand and ran her through the hall and to their door. Once inside their suite she took the initiative to pursue him first she kissed him passionately while he took off his jacket and loosened his tie. He entwined his hands in her hair taking control his tongue seeking hers with eagerness, proving his love to her eloquently, touching and caressing her. The fact that he was in control was different he was grabbing at her hips and thighs as they made their way to the bedroom.
Before they could go any further she pulled away from his kiss. A look of seduction in both their eyes they breathed in heavily.
"Give me a moment" she said starting for the bathroom before he could pull her back. She shut the door and readied herself for the course of the evening. She washed her face and waved her hair back and forth to give it some volume. She carefully put on the lingerie she had brought earlier. She had meant to try it on earlier but she had heard Tom enter their room so she stuffed it under some towels in the bathroom closet. Smoothing down every piece of cloth on all the curves of her body she was now ready to reveal herself. She opened the door and flipped her hair over to the side, placing her elbow on the frame of the door holding her head up, with her other hand on her hip and leg planted out on the side.
He was sitting on the bed already in his boxers. He looked up to her as though dazzled by her beauty. She walked to him slowly like a lioness she was ready to pounce but he pounced first he grabbed her with much force eagerly kissing every bit of flesh. Whatever had come over him was much to her liking. The pent up sexual frustration was coming to light and she was powerless to stop it.
As he laid her on the bad he kissed the mounds of her breasts making her moan out in pleasure. He took his place on top of her; she could feel the pressure of his length on her inner thigh. His hand slowly felt the curves of her body as they traveled down between her legs. She gasped at the cold touch of his fingers, as he felt her moisture through the lace of her teddy. He moved the fabric to the side feeling through her folds and hitting her spot with intensity. She hit the peak of pleasure and was ready to take in all of him.
You look so beautiful" he said as he kissed her quivering lips.
He kissed along her jaw line down to her neck and to each point of her breast. She stripped herself of the barrier between herself and his lips. He seemed pleased at this, it pleased her as well. She arched her back as he slowly inserted himself into her, letting out a small moan deep in his throat. Together they fell into the bliss of the night. All negative thoughts were erased from Jades mind with every thrust and kiss.
Tom lay awake for hours long after Jade had fallen asleep. He went over the nights events in his head wondering how he could have let things go this far. Yes, she was his girlfriend and he had made love to her many times before but that wasn't what kept him up. After their night of love making he had fallen on to his pillow breathing heavily it was at that moment that he realized he wasn't thinking of Jade the whole time they were in the throes of passion. It wasn't her he was making love to, physically yes, but mentally his imagination leaned toward with the one that plagued his dreams every night he had been there.
Sarah was his friend and nothing more. He hadn't felt like he had grown to like her more than a friend if anything he thought it was just a small boy crush. But each day he got to know her it had become hard to establish how he felt about her. It was probably obvious to someone looking in that he liked her. He couldn't allow himself to feel that way with her. On the other hand how could anyone expect him not to grow closer to her? This wasn't something physical he felt for her no matter how hard he tried to ignore it.
Sure he thought she was rather beautiful, but it was her personality that enticed him. He had never met anyone like her she wasn't afraid to stand up to him not that anyone else was, but she could joke with him, make him laugh, they could converse on an intimate level that he tried so hard to do with Jade. His fame wasn't an issue for her; she treated him like he was anybody else. For the past month he had constantly found himself thinking about her wondering what she was doing at each moment she wasn't with him.
The last time he had any interaction was days before his trip to the states, the morning she dumped cold water on him.
He feigned sleep when he heard her footsteps coming through the door and into his bedroom. Before she had left the room she was yelling at him to wake up, he thought it was funny that she was probably the only one who could get away with speaking to him the way she did. Hearing her footsteps he let his body go limp and faked a snore. What happened next he wasn't expecting the moment he heard her say she wasn't sorry he knew he should have listened to her when she told him to wake up the first time.
The cold water rolled off his back and onto the bed. He stood up quickly on the side of the bed watching as she looked back at him with a smirk on her face. "Oh, you're going to be sorry for that!" he chased her down the hall and into the living room circling the couch and then off to the kitchen.
He wasn't mad at the fact that she did it but he could tell she was trying to figure out the best way to defuse the situation as well as an escape route. When he asked her why she did what she did her answer didn't surprise him she always gave him smart ass answers. He observed her as they stood on either side of the island. He had always wondered what she looked like in the mornings. Her long hair was pulled up in a messy bun strands of hair were hanging loosely at the side of her face too short to stay in the elastic tie. Her face was flushed, a tint of rose on her cheeks. She wore a maroon cotton jacket over a black top. He had noticed she was wearing black shorts that stopped mid length of her thigh making her honey toned legs look miles long. What was she trying to do to him?
Just when he was about to give up she looked down to the floor and he took the initiative to get his revenge on her. Hopping over the island he finally had her in his grasp. Having Sarah so close to him felt like heaven. The scent she so frequently smelled of an infusion of apples and fresh blossoms, took over his senses, he loved her scent. Why did she have to smell so good?
He was glad she was facing forward not able to see how much he was enjoying this small interaction. He walked them to the sink and turned on the faucet. She looked to him with wide eyes in fear of the calamity that was to unfold. He tried his hardest to keep a straight face. She acted like she was going to the death chair.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Oh I thought I would give you a nice sopping wake-up call you so thoughtfully gave me." he said. As he leaned her over the sink her backside rubbed into him.
"Would it help if I said I was s-s-sorry? Cause I am. I-I really am!"
"No, I don't think that will do, not only did soak me and my bed sheets but you also woke me from a beautiful dream I was having." he wasn't lying. Right before she had arrived he was having a really good dream but she didn't need to know it was about her.
"Well at least you don't have to take a shower now." Ah she was so funny.
"And you won't either!" He said grabbing the sink sprayer after a few seconds they were both drenched. When she turned to face him he couldn't help but smile at her. She looked so adorable. The hair that hung loosely at the sides of her face was now sticking to her skin. She was so close to him he swore he could feel her heart beating through her chest. He looked to her lips and wondered what sweet taste lingered there. He mentally slapped himself at the thought. As if she read his mind she looked away from him. Suddenly becoming aware of the placement of his hands he reluctantly let her go, his muscles tightening at the cold.
He wanted to help her clean up the mess but she wouldn't relent. He walked back to his bedroom stripping his sheets and putting them in the washer before he showered. He hoped she would still be there when he got out but he knew she would have left.
The next few days he thought about her constantly his emotions were getting the better of him. He felt guilty for thinking of her in ways he didn't think he could think of someone other than Jade. He needed some space from her.
He was grateful that he would have this time away from Sarah and that she had told Jade about his trip cause then he could rekindle that love for Jade and realize why he fell in love with her although it had never faltered. Hoping sleeping with Jade would free his mind from what it was currently occupied with just made things more confusing. How could he explain to Jade why he was so distant? He needed to figure out a way to rid himself whatever it was he felt for Sarah. Or maybe he didn't have to. If Sarah didn't have feelings for him then there was nothing to fret over. His feelings would be one sided and he would just have to learn to deal with it on his own. He was determined to get over this. He loved Jade.
He thought these stirrings would go away if he had refrained from speaking to Sarah but it seemed she always found away to creep into his mind. She had texted him earlier that day when he noticed Jade had left the store to go into another. She had texted him to wish him a happy birthday. He felt awful for not texting her back but it was for the best right now. He sought to give Jade his full attention.
He needed to make it up to Jade for the mental betrayal, somehow, even if she didn't know why he was being so attentive to her.
Will post chapter 7 on Tuesday. Thanks for Reading :)
