Tommy's Big Mouth

Jackie: Fuck fuck fuck... I can't believe that I didn't think how badly he can ruin things. I was so focused on getting back to you that I forgot about the fact that I probably should be the one controlling the narrative about me and Tommy.

Catherine: Heyy it alright! I don't really think much of the guy but I don't think he will do anything to ruin things. At least, I hope.

Jackie: We should probably go get him and head out, I don't feel so good... I want to get out of here before he can talk any more than he already has.

Catherine: Come on Jacks, take a deep breath... we can find out what he has said in order to do damage control if needed.

Catherine grabs Jackie's hand and gives it a light squeeze while pulling her towards the bathroom so they can wash up and head out to the afterparty that Wade was talking about.

As they were walking towards the bathroom Jackie was bombarded by few reporters which put space between her and Catherine making them let go of each other's hands.

1st Reporter: Jackie, Jackie! Can we get you to comment on few personal details about you r relationship with Tommy?
2nd Reporter: Tommy was kind enough to give us some juicy details? How would you describe Tommy in bed Jackie?
1st Reporter: Afterall he did call you a "Beast" in bed?

Jackie's eyes widen and she can feel her blood boiling as she was hearing the comments that Tommy had made. She turns her head to find Catherine only to realize that there is a wall of reporters separating the two of them. She was finally able to find Catherine, they lock eyes trying to let each other know that everything will be fine.

Catherine saw panic in Jackie's eyes, which only made her wonder how things would move forward. She tried to push her way through the pack of reporters, finally being able to reach Jackie's hand and pull her out. As Jackie was being pulled towards the bathroom all she could say was "no comment" trying to buy herself some time to figure out how to handle the mess that Tommy had made.

Catherine pushes the bathroom door open and both of them get in closing the door behind them. The second the door closed Catherin pulled Jackie in for a tight hug.

Catherine: It will all be okay porcupine. You will figure this out with Wade and if there is anything I can do to help all you need to do is ask.

Jackie: You don't know the things that Tommy has said Catherine. This is bad! This is really bad. I wanted to keep things on the down low. I wanted to just play a long and take some photos, and not do anything that would have put us under the spotlight even more.

Catherine takes a step back from Jackie, feeling a bit tense not knowing what the scope of this mess is. She hoped Tommy would have acted as a grown man, but she was proven wrong once again. "What did he say" Catherine asks, knowing very well that she would want to confront Tommy herself.

Jackie: He basically went on to tell the whole world that I am a beast in bed, and that he gets to take me home every night.

As Jackie was telling Catherine everything that came out of Tommy's mouth tears were running down her cheeks. She thought that she could move past being the girl whose life was full of lies on the front page of tabloids but all that was ruined by Tommy's big fat mouth.

Catherine: What the heck was he thinking? Didn't Wade make it clear to him that this was just for show, only to help promote the movie??

Jackie: I don't know Catharine; I don't know what to think right now. All I know is that we need to get ourselves to the after-party before wade and everyone else starts noticing that we are way past being fashionably late.

Jackie moves close to Catherin and puts her arms around her waist pulling her close until she can feel Catherine's breath on her lips. She moves her face and closes the gap between the two of them. This wasn't some passionate kiss; it was soft and gentle. Their lips moved slowly in a gentle rhythm as if they were trying to let each other know that everything will be okay. Catherine pulls away and caresses Jackie's lips with her thumb as she brings up Jackie's hands to her lips and places a soft kiss on the surface.

Catherine: Let's go pretty lady. We got to get you to that party. Let's clean you up and head out. We will talk to Wade when we get there and figure out how to sort this mess out.

Catherine and Jackie wash up as carefully as they can without ruining their makeup, after all they cannot show up to the party looking a complete mess. Once they were finished freshening up, Jackie texted her driver letting him know that they will be out in five minutes to leave for the party.
