Chapter 1

A Perfect Night

Jude--

Ring Ring

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey, beautiful." A familiar voice replied.

"Mmm... What do you want?" I said groggily.

"Just to see how you are." He said.

"Well, at two a.m. I'd be better if I was sleeping." I replied looking at the alarm clock.

"I can't sleep." He said.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because I'm thinking about you." He said simply.

"What are you thinking?" I asked sitting up a little bit.,

"I'm thinking that you're beautiful and I want to see you." He said.

"Well, I told you that you could stay the night." I pointed out.

"Yeah, but I don't like staying while Sadie's there." He said.

"Why not? She has her boyfriend here all the time." I said.

"It's still weird because I feel like she's alwaysing trying to be the boss of you when I'm around." He said.

"She doesn't try to boss me around, she just wants to make sure I'm taken care of." I said.

"I'm not going to hurt you again..."

"I know, Jamie. The only time you ever really hurt me was after Patsy because you felt it was my fault. And I understand that. It's just that Sadie's my big sister so she worries." I said.

"I know, I just hate being looked at like I'm the devil." Jamie said.

"She doesn't think you're the devil." I said with a smile.

"Whatever you say." Jamie replied.

"So, if you're not going to come over can I go back to sleep?" I asked.

"I decided I'm gonna come over." Jamie replied.

"Alright, I'll be down in a minute." I said and hung up the phone.

I got out of bed and went downstairs. I unlocked the door knob, the dead bolt, and the chain. I had started locking all the locks after everything with Meagan.When I opened the door, there stood Jamie. I smiled and hugged him. We went upstairs to my room and climbed into bed. I laid down with my head on his chest.

"You know, I saw Tommy the other day." Jamie said.

That simple little sentence reminded me of everything that had happened. It all flashed through my head in a matter of moments.

"Oh. What did he have to say?" I asked casually.

"He came to see me because he wanted to make an entire Karma/Speed duet album. Therefore, G-Major and NBR would have to work together. I told him I'd think about it and then accepted later that day." He said.

"Oh. Well, I think it would be really good for you, Karma and Speed duets always sell a lot more than other singles. It would make you more money." I said.

Jamie--

"Yeah. That's logical, I guess." I replied. I didn't tell her that the first thing out of Tommy's mouth was 'How's Jude?'

I told him she was fine and that she didn't miss him. Although she's the one who broke hie heart this time, she still hurt like hell. I knew that when I mentioned Mr. Squinty it hurt her but she needed to move on and if she didn't learn to deal with the pain, she'd never be okay.

"So, how are Karma and Speed doing?" She asked.

"they're okay. After Speed moved back into the apartment they had their issues, as you know. Then Karma freaked out on the guys from the show and they decided to stay together. Then they got evicted from their apartment and went to court for breach of contract. Luckily, the judge ruled in their favor and they got to keep the money and the apartment." I told her.

"That's good. I should go see them tomorrow." She replied.

"Jude, you just got back a couple of days ago. You need some time to get yourself settled." I told her.

"Jamie, you know Karma and Speed. If I don't go see them tomorrow they will hate me forever." She laughed.

"Probably. That's just the way they are." I smiled at her.

She tightened her hold around my middle and I ran my free hand through her hair. We laid in silence for a few minutes, just holding each other.

"So, what happened with you and Zeppelie anyway?" She asked finally.

"She found out her mom was really sick so she had to go to New Mexico. She said she didn't know how long she'd be gone so she broke up with me because she didn't want me to have a girlfriend who was never around. She said she would feel bad for me to not have fun." I told her.

"Oh. Well, that's kind of sad." She replied.

"Ehh.. whatever. I don't really care." I shrugged.

Jude--

Hearing Jamie talk so nonchalantly about his breakup with Zeppelin made me wonder if he was hiding from his feelings. He tended to do that a lot. I didn't want him to hide anymore because when he finally faced those feelings it was going to hurt a lot more.

The only reason I knew how much Jamie would hurt when he faced his feelings was because that's how I was with Tommy when I went to London. I thought we could do the long distance thing but obviously Little Tommy Q couldn't. He never called me and when I called him he never answered. I asked Jamie, Sadie and Kwest to talk to him but he would disappear the second he saw them.

Flashback

"Jude, he won't talk to us." Sadie told me.

"Keep trying! I love him so much. I want to marry him still, just not yet." I cried into the phone for the hundredth time that week.


End Flashback

"Hey, what's wrong?" Jamie asked.

"Nothing. I was just thinking." I replied.

"About Mr. Squinty?" He asked defensively.

"No. About you." I said. After all, it wasn't totally untrue.

"Oh. What were you thinking?" He asked suggestively.

"I was thinking you should kiss me." I smiled up at him.

He leaned down to kiss me. He held my face gently between his hands. He then ran his fingers through my hair, down my back, and then rested them on my hip. I got caught up in the moment and started to unbutton his shirt. He'd been working out while I was gone obviously.His once non-existant six pack flexed as he readjusted his legs so he could sit up and pull his shirt off. I pulled my shirt up over my headand threw it on the floor. I slid my little shorts off and Jamie moved to unbutton his pants. I helped him pull them off and then moved back to kissing him.

We spent the rest of the darker morning hours tangled up in each other. I almost felt like I couldn't tell where I ended and he began. That was a perfect night. Finally, I fell asleep. It was the best sleep I'd had in a long time. The last time I slept that well was the last night I spent with Tommy.
