Chapter 291: 291 My Jewel

Chapter 291 My Jewel　　Lucy sighed contentedly as she lay naked on the bed beside an equally naked Tom, with her head snuggled on his chest.

Tom's eyes were closed, and he rubbed her back as they enjoyed the comfortable silence, "Jewel?" Tom asked.

"Huh?" Lucy asked, wondering what he was asking.

"Do you like the name? I want to call you that. My jewel," Tom said, and Lucy grinned as she raised her head to look at him.

"That sounds sweet. Why did you choose that?" She asked curiously, and her eyes widened slightly as Tom drew her close so that she was lying on his body.

"Are you sure you'll be comfortable this way?" Lucy asked, looking down at him with concern as she was now lying on top of him, and she feared that she was pressing on his abdomen and chest.

"I'm fine," Tom assured her as he held her gaze.

"I love the name Jewel. You're more precious to me than gold and diamond," Tom said, and Lucy's lips curved in a wide smile that made her eyes twinkle.

"I love your smile. I love it when you smile," Tom said, and she turned her face away in embarrassment as she giggled, making him chuckle, "Now you're being cute."

"So, are you okay with the name?" Tom asked again, and she returned her gaze to him. 

"Yes. I love it. You'll call me that only when we are alone, right?" Lucy asked, and Tom's brow shot up. 

"No."

"You will call me that in front of the others?" She asked curiously. 

.

"Isn't that the point?" He asked in amusement, wondering why she was asking such a question.

"Oh," Lucy said with a slight blush, and he chuckled. 

"You'll get used to it eventually, don't worry," Tom assured her as he kissed her lightly, knowing that she still wasn't entirely used to the whole relationship stuff. 

"So, what would you like me to call you?" Lucy asked, and Tom shrugged.

"You should come up with a name you're comfortable with. Something you wouldn't mind to call me when we are in the company of others," Tom said, and Lucy grinned. 

"What about Hanky?" Lucy asked, sticking her tongue in her cheek, and Tom's body shook with the force of his laughter as he rolled her over.

"Then should I just call you panky instead? And then we can do some hanky-panky stuff," Tom asked with a naughty smile, and Lucy giggled as she rolled off the bed, taking the bedsheet along with her as she moved away from him to the other side of the bed.

"I was just kidding," she said amidst her laughter.

"I'm not kidding, panky," Tom said with a wink, and Lucy giggled at how ridiculous he looked making such a joke while he was stark naked.

"Stop being naughty," she chided as she adjusted the bedsheet on her body to cover herself as she headed for the closet to put on some clothes. 

"I was thinking... Would you like to go shopping within the week?" Tom asked as he put on his boxers and followed her into the closet. 

"Shopping?" She asked without turning to look at him as the hem of the bedsheet trailed behind her sweeping the floor.

"Yeah. You forgot you wanted to go shopping this weekend?" He reminded her, and Lucy sighed as she turned to look at him.

"I actually forgot about it," she said, and Tom smiled. 

"You would be weird to remember something like that considering all that has happened between then and now. It feels like a week has passed already," Tom said as he went to where she was standing and embraced her in a comforting manner.

"It would be weird, yet you remembered," she murmured as she pulled away from him before he had the chance to snatch the bedsheet away from her body, as she suspected he wanted to do.

Tom grinned at her, knowing that he had been caught, "I only remembered because it concerns you." Tom stopped there, choosing not to add that it was also because he wanted to see more of her stuff in his closet. He reasoned that it would make her feel rushed, and he didn't want her to feel that way; hence he was taking things slowly.

"That's sweet of you. I will go shopping after we've sorted things out. Let's deal with Anita first," Lucy suggested, and Tom gave her a nod.

"Sonia mentioned that Anita is responsible for their scandal too," Lucy said, watching Tom closely. She had been waiting for him to mention it all day, but it seemed like he didn't want to talk about it. 

"Yes, she is."

"You didn't mention it to me," Lucy pointed out.

"Because I didn't want to waste the little time we share away from the family talking about her like we are doing now," Tom explained, still not wanting to think of Anita. The mere mention of her name annoyed him and ruined her mood.

"What are we going to do about her?" Lucy asked, wondering if he was going to fire Anita. 

Despite the positive feedback she had gotten from the netizens following her confession, she still felt nervous about going to work the next day. And somehow, she couldn't shake off the feeling that this wasn't all that Anita had up her sleeve. She needed some sort of reassurance from Tom so that she wouldn't have to worry so much about Anita.

"Can we please not talk about her yet? At least just for today? Tomorrow we can talk about how to deal with her. I just want to enjoy this weekend with you and our family without either of us thinking about her. Please," Tom pleaded.

"Okay."

Tom watched as she turned around and started rummaging through her bag for something to wear, and he could tell that she didn't like his response.

"Jewel Panky?"

Despite her annoyance, Lucy's lips twitched in amusement, but she didn't turn to look at him. She sighed when he hugged her from behind, and she turned in his arm to face him. 

"Are you that worried about her?" Tom asked as he placed a hand under her chin, and lifted her head so that he could look into her eyes. 

"We can talk about it tomorrow," Lucy said, and Tom shook his head. 

"I'm sorry I dismissed your concerns that way. It wasn't my intention. I just didn't want to ruin our mood by talking about her." 

"It's fine. I understand."

"It's not fine. Since it bothers you so much, let's discuss with Bryan and Sonia about what to do. She didn't just mess with us. She messed with them too," Tom said, and Lucy smiled at him.

"Thank you."

"I got you always," he promised as he kissed the tip of her nose and then stepped away from her so that they would both dress up. 

****************

Inside the car, Jade kept stealing glances at Harry as he drove, and when he couldn't take it anymore, he sighed, "Is there something you want to say to me?" Harry asked, turning to spare her a glance. 

Jade shook her head, "Pull the car over. I want to get down."

"Here? Why?" Harry asked with a slight frown.

"I told you I was going out, didn't I? Don't worry, I'll find my way back to the house when I'm done," she assured him, and Harry sighed as he pulled the car over by the side of the road for her to get down.

"Are you sure you will be fine on your own?" Harry asked with concern as she opened the door. 

Jade hesitated as she turned to look at him, "Are you going to come with me if I say I won't be fine on my own?" 

"No. I'll rather stop you from leaving," Harry said, and Jade rolled her eyes. 

"I'll be fine on my own. See you when I see you. Goodnight," she called to him as she got out of the car and shut the door. 

Harry didn't drive off immediately. Instead, he watched her through his rearview mirror as she walked away from the car and flagged down a cab. 

He waited until she got into the cab, and just as the cab drove past his car, she blew him a kiss, and Harry chuckled as he drove off.

Inside the cab, Jade turned in her seat to look at Harry's car, and she watched as he took the next bend while her cab drove straight ahead. 

Harry. He had surprised her a lot in one day, and even more surprising for her was the realization that she was beginning to find him intriguing. Initially, she had just wanted to know him mainly because he was Tom's best friend, but now she was curious about him on a different level. 

Once she was done taking care of Jero and the cartel, she would revisit her newfound interest in Harry.
