Okay guys new story and all…this would be my second story I have posted. I hope you guys like it and please review, I love it when you guys do.
Chapter 1: One beautiful mistake
Why does she always have to be so…17? Tommy asked himself with dismay. The reason why they were fighting was still beyond him and he probably can't remember because he had ordered a few to many drinks. His head felt like it was being nailed with pain every couple moments, and he buried his head in his hands, full of regret. Why did he and Jude always have to fight? Every time they were actually a thing, something or someone would throw them off track again. He hated himself at the moment, and felt an urge to go comfort Jude...though he knew she wouldn't accept the reassurance and that would make matters worse. Even though he couldn't see it, next to him, Tommy knew Kwest was looking at him with sympathy.
Tommy and Jude had been dating for the past few weeks and they were happier then ever. It was assumed by the gossiping G-major staff that the new hit single they just laid down was because their inspiration from each other was at its strongest point. They had been in the studio for sixteen hours straight before Tommy and Jude walked out silently, casual looks on their faces. Tommy had raised his hand, and in it, was a CD of Jude's new hit. Darius, Kwest, Sadie, Jamie, and a few other bystanders had turned to them and congratulated them. Darius had been in such a great mood that he offered they all come to the party he was throwing tonight. And now...here was Tommy, drunk and disappointed.
Tommy thought it was Kwest that was speaking, but couldn't necessarily tell because of the "Few extra drinks" he had previously consumed. He tried to tell any distinct characteristics from the voice but got nothing. With a sigh of frustration, he decided it was best to listen…which was probably a good idea.
"Hey man, I'm gonna go; got an early shift tomorrow. You need a ride?" Kwest inquired, looking at Tommy with concerned and knowing eyes. Kwest really didn't want Tommy even to attempt driving home in his condition. Last time that happened…things didn't work out so well. Kwest also knew, that if Jude and Tommy didn't make up soon here, Tommy would try to drive home, just because he was stubborn.
Tommy mumbled his response, his voice muffled by his hands, "S'okay. Imma stay here a bit longer and see if the 'pop princess', who just so happens to be one of the best singers in the world, will come out and talk to me." Tommy lifted his head from his hands and threw a look towards the woman's bathroom where Jude had escaped to and felt that annoying twinge of pain again. He waited for Kwest to follow his gaze before continuing. "Besides, I have to wait until I'm capable of driving my Viper outta here without killing anything...or anyone. Can't leave my poor baby here overnight," Tommy joked, his voice changing and he shook his head for the effect. Tommy failed at putting on an act and he knew that Kwest noticed.
Kwest smiled at Tommy feeling somewhat reassured by his words, even if he wasn't as chirpy as he acted. He nodded, "Kay man." Kwest rested a hand on Tommy's shoulder as he passed. Kwest glanced around through the crowd, and smiled when he spotted Sadie. He waited until he got her attention before signaling for her to join him. As she headed over, Kwest paused a few feet away from Tommy and turned around. "Tom! If you end up needing a ride…" Kwest trailed off, waiting for T to finish the offer.
"I'll call you," Tommy completed with a raise of the eyebrows. He knew that Kwest was just being a good friend, but it grew annoying sometimes. Waving his phone he added, "Via the cell phone." Tommy turned away from his best friend and stared off at nothing in particular, his thoughts unclear and blurry. He was curious if Jude was thinking about him like he was thinking about her. Then again, he wondered what went on in her mind just in general.
Tommy, so caught up thinking about Jude, didn't even notice the lady take a seat next to him. She was gazing at him with some pathetic, seductive and curious eyes. She was just another underage who wanted to get him in bed. Truthfully, he wouldn't have noticed that she started speaking either, until she brushed her fingers against his cheek. Tommy tensed at her touch, not wanting any other woman to touch him until he cleared things up with Jude.
"You seem…distracted," The woman said. She looked at Tommy intently. She examined the position they were in and tried to plan how she could use it to her advantage. On the outside, she tried to appear innocent and sweet, while on the inside, she was a spawn of Satan. Now the plan starts…She thought with determination and excitement.
Tommy looked at the woman, clearly annoyed. Could she try to be even more of a slut? Tommy asked himself. He really wasn't in the mood for this and didn't want to answer...but then again, he didn't want a crying lady either. Not wanting to offend the woman sitting next to him, Tommy replied…though it was with a simple, "Yeah."
The woman glanced down at his lips and quickly back up to hi eyes. Taking her chance, she repeated her earlier thoughts with, the plan will work. She grabbed his arm loosely and slid into his lap. She felt him tense but then looked at him with pleading eyes. Tommy relaxed ever so slightly. She simply stated before pushing her lips to his neck, "I could help you keep your mind off of things."
Tommy tensed once more, but didn't push her away…though he didn't encourage her actions either. He wasn't in the mood for this. But hey, give me a better way to pass the time, Tommy dared himself mentally. Too bad he was still thinking clear enough that his mind countered back as if arguing, go find Jude and apologize. Tommy grunted and let the thoughts wander away.
Tommy's eyes had a flash of newly found rage in them and that flash of rage did anything but simmer when the strange woman forced her lips to his. He was tentative to respond, his lips not immediately letting hers find their way, but without much effort against her, Tommy gave in. Tommy actually found himself wondering what her name was…he considered asking but he knew he was way to impractical to remember anyway. Actually considering finding her name was a kind act, and Tommy suspected he got that from Jude...which only put him in a worse mood.
Dismissing the idea of getting her name, Tommy's eyes flickered open to at least see what she looked like. She had shoulder length, shiny, straight, black hair. He noted that she had swoop bangs clipped back behind her ears. With one hand, Tommy brushed her cheek and she opened her eyes. They were dark brown. She was slim and had absolutely no stomach. Tommy smiled as he thought of all the models he had slept with...oh did he love models?
Trying to hurry this so called "Plan" along, the girl pulled away from his lips and suggested, "It's getting really late... I should walk you home…" She pleaded with her eyes.
Tommy sighed and shook his head and tried not to smile while saying, "Sorry but I drove here."
That was stupid, The girl thought, trying with a great amount of effort not to speak her thoughts aloud. With a shrug she just announced, "Okay, let's go. You can't drive in your condition, so I will."
Without giving Tommy an opportunity to answer, she grabbed his coat and literally dragged him through the crowd and out the door, heading towards the Viper. It wasn't even remotely surprising to Tommy that she knew which car was his…but he had to bite his lip from telling her she couldn't drive it. The only other person he had let drive his Viper had been Jude on her birthday, and that was something special. Now it was about to be ruined by a random woman about to get him in bed.
Jude wiped the last of her tears from her eyes and heaved herself up off the dirty tile floor in the corner of the bathroom. With doubt, she trekked over to the nearest mirror to see if it were possible to walk out of the party not looking like a girl who just cried for three hours…which she was. One look at her reflection made it positive that it wasn't possible. She let out a ragged sigh and fixed her hair and makeup to the best of her abilities. Getting ready to throw away any remaining dignity she had left, Jude shoved open the bathroom doors and disappeared into the crowd.
Jude had almost made her escape. She was but ten feet from the doors when she heard Darius. She froze in mid step and her facial expression said, "Dammit so close!" all over it. With a forced smile, Jude unhurriedly spun around to face Darius. She was irritated and in no condition to explain what was going on with her and Tommy...to Darius, of all people.
"Hey there D. I thought you'd be busy…runnin the party and keeping people busy…Stuff like that..." Jude realized how lame her own excuse sounded but hoped that he let it slide. To her relief, he did.
Darius grinned and shrugged. "Nah, not busy enough to miss one of my best artists leave. Where's Tom? I wanna give a toast to you two for laying down another awesome hit."
Jude looked away, biting her lip and nodding, her long blond hair following her head. Exactly as she had assumed…He had been expecting her and Tommy to do something for him again. It seemed that was always what he wanted now a day; Tommy and her together. Why couldn't he want just her, or just Tommy? Jude considered asking but she knew it was just the earlier fight with Tommy getting to her. When she turned back to Darius all she said was, "By now? I'd guess he's wasted and sleeping with some girl from the party. Like he always does."
Darius let himself chuckle and accepted his grin to get wider. Within seconds his facial expression was serious again. "You and T having personal issues again? It's none of my business, but if it gets into the studio, I'll make it my business. Is that in anyway unclear?" He warned. Darius knew the gleam of sadness in Jude's eyes that he found there now. Normally, it was there when she wasn't with Tommy. Weather she knew it or not, was beside his knowledge.
Jude shook her head and then agreed, "Of course, wouldn't want it interfering with the music." Even as she said it, Jude knew that was exactly what was going to happen. She knew that Tommy and she would be fighting as soon as they were alone in the studio recording again. Why they couldn't just be happy as producer and singer instead of being together, was beyond Jude. Maybe it was fate? Maybe it was destiny? Who knows? Jude asked her self, nearly begging. As Darius sauntered away she sighed with apprehension. Once she was completely alone she muttered to herself, "Yeah…well at least he didn't comment on my appearance."
Not having any other obligations or dignity, for the night, Jude sauntered out the door and towards her house, hoping that Sadie came home already.
Even with his eyes closed, Tommy could feel the sun rays that snuck between his window blinds burning his skin. Tommy rolled over to evade the scorching rays of doom. To his astonishment, there was a body next to him on his king-sized bed. The presence was normal, he's used to the mornings after sleeping with girls, but he had been thinking about Jude so much it startled him and he suddenly grew panicked.
Jude? Tommy instantly thought, his heart skipping a beat. Tommy sat up, his eyes flashing open with alarm at the thought that he slept with Jude, the artist he produced. To his luck, Jude just happened to be underage too. Oh great, Tommy said to himself as he imagined the consequences. Tommy pictured the what the tabloids would look like..and he didn't like the image.
To his utter relief, the woman beside him was not Jude…it was the lady from the night before. It wouldn't have been relief if Tommy hadn't thought her to be Jude first. It would have been annoyance and anger. Tommy closed his eyes and sighed, relaxing and losing his sudden strike of horror.
The lady beside Tommy faked a yawn and pretended to be sleepy and confused as she awoke. She blinked and opened her eyes, only to find Tommy Q. Staring at her. She brought a hand to his check and whispered, "I should go…" Hesitating, she waited to see if Tommy offered to walk her out. Not to her liking, he didn't. She huffed, before standing up and slipping on her coat over her exposed body. With a wave "Goodbye" she left the apartment in a hurry.
As she walked down the street, the woman smirked to herself thinking, well that was phase one of the plan.
Teasers for Chapter 2: The first of many lies.
Cassie closed her eyes and let out an angry sigh of annoyance. With a face of determination, she looked to Dillan and demanded softly, "What's it going to take, to make you," She pointed a finger at him, "let everyone believe that I'm pregnant with Tom Quincy's child, and not yours?"
Dillan let out a chuckled sigh and shook his head slightly. "It's going to take a lot of money from your soon-to-be-career at G-major, and the satisfaction of watching Jude Harrison sizzle while helping her dream guy, cater to another woman's needs. A woman, who just so happens to be pregnant with 'his' baby."
Cassie pursed her lips before grinning wickedly, "Done."
Thanks for reading and I want to point out that I know I haven't told you what "The plan" is yet. In my other story when I didn't explain something, I had people asking so I just wanted to point that out. Please review, I love it when you do, and it is one of the few things that inspire me to keep going.
