This happens right after White Lies/When I come around
Tommy and Jude are standing in Studio C; Tommy is about to walk out as Jude stops him.
Jude: Tommy
Tommy Turns around and looks back at Jude expectantly.
Jude: Thank you…for all of your inspiration "she says coyly".
Tommy smiles at her knowingly and walks to the kitchenette to grab a bottle of water and then makes his way to Darius's office. Tommy knocks on the door and hears a mumbled "come in". D is sitting in his chair talking heatedly to the person on the other end of the phone as he motions for Tommy to take a seat. Tommy walks over to one of the chairs in D's office and sits down waiting patiently for him to finish his conversation. Tommy raises an eyebrow when he hears D say "I don't know about this man, Jude really needs her producer, they are about to start on her third album and I'm not trying to do anything that will mess with my clients record sales" D continues to talk for a few moments and then hangs up the phone.
Tommy looks over at him and say's "So what's up D"?
Darius: Nothing man, just working out some things for this summer.
Tommy: Looking skeptical "Ok, if something were up you would tell me right"?
Darius: Of course
DT: (Darius's thoughts) I hope they aren't too upset when they find out what I have planned for them.
Scene switches to Jude waiting for Tommy in Studio C
Jude is sitting on a chair strumming her guitar and singing a few lyrics here and there, she doesn't hear the door open behind her.
Jude softly singing to herself:
Time to be your only one
To almost be you're way too young
Time to crash into the sun
Time to be your 21
Time to dream that love will last
Time to drive my car too fast
Time to walk before I run
Time to be
Ohh time to be your 21
Tommy whispering in Jude's ear: I always loved that song
Jude jumps up and hits Tommy in the chin with the top of her head, they both yell Ow, at the same time.
Jude turns and looks at Tommy and he looks at her and all of a sudden they both start laughing.
Tommy: Wow remind me to never sneak up on you again
Jude: Aw come on now Quincy I didn't hit ya that hard
Tommy: Yeah tell that to my chin which is now on the ceiling
Jude: Crybaby
Tommy: Ya right
They both laugh at each other.
Jude: So what did Darius want?
Tommy: Nothing, he just wanted to talk about your albums release party
Jude: And?
Tommy: That's all
Jude: Why do I get the feeling there is so much more to it than that?
Tommy: I don't know Jude you are probably just being paranoid
Jude shrugs and asks "Are you ready to go"?
Tommy Nods and as Jude walks out, he thinks to himself
TT: Your not the only one who thinks something is up Jude, trust me, you're not the only one.
Tommy and Jude jump on Tommy's motorcycle and start driving towards Jude's house. Once there, Jude gets up and takes off her helmet handing it to Tommy. Tommy Takes it from her but as she turns to leave he grabs her by the hand and turns her towards him, Jude, surprised by this sudden move, stumbles a bit until her and Tommy's face are just a breath apart. Tommy leans in and gently kisses her on the lips. Jude pulls Tommy closer and Tommy getting caught up in the moment runs his fingers through Jude's honey colored locks and gives in to all of the sensations kissing her has brought him. Tommy pulls back looking into Jude's eyes with an intensity that she had never seen.
Jude: Wow
Tommy: Yeah, you can say that again.
Jude and Tommy smile at each other.
Jude: Well as much fun as this is, I think I should be getting inside.
Tommy: Yeah, you're probably right.
Jude smiles and turns to walk away.
Tommy: Jude!
Jude turns
Tommy: By the way, I was wondering, will you come to the release party with me?
Jude: You askin me out on a date Quincy?
Tommy: Smiles and say's "Is that a yes"?
Jude is standing in front of her mirror in a beautiful black dress that ends right above her knees and hugs her body in all the right places. She had spent an hour doing her hair half up and half down with lose curls trying to get it just right and had finally succeeded. The light hit the diamonds at her ears in just the right place and made her whole outfit perfect and complete.
Jude hears a car pulling into the drive, and a door shut.
She takes a final deep breath and smiles to herself in the mirror.
Jude: Alright Quincy, tonight your all mine.
Scene switches to Tommy in a black tuxedo with white tie, his hair perfectly styled. He is sitting in his Viper in Jude's driveway giving himself a mental pep talk for the night to come. He takes one last deep breath and grabs a bouquet of white lilies (Jude's favorite) and makes his way to the front door.
Tommy: Mumbling to himself "Alright Quincy, it's now or never".
Tommy knocks on the front door to Jude's house and moments later Sadie opens the door.
Tommy feeling awkward starts to shuffle his feel and says "Oh hey Sades is Jude here"?
Sadie raises an eyebrow and folds her arms " Why are you all dressed up"?
Tommy: Well I'm taking Jude to her release party.
Sadie: Hmmm really?
Tommy: Yes, is she here or not Sadie?
Sadie glares at Tommy and says "yeah" and walks into the house leaving the door open for Tommy to follow.
Tommy shakes his head as he follows and asks himself "what did I get myself into"?
Sadie sits down on the couch and motions for him to take a seat
Sadie: Jude will be down in a minute
Tommy: Thanks
An awkward silence hangs in the air until they turn towards the stairs as they hear a door upstairs shut and footsteps coming down them. Tommy looks up just as Jude starts walking down the stairs and he takes a deep breath and held it without even realizing it.
TT: God, she is beautiful.
Jude staring at Sadie and Tommy continues down the stairs and looks at them and raises a hand to her hair and says
Jude: What? Do I have something on my face?
Tommy: No you just, I mean no, your just, perfect.
Sadie realizing Tommy is struggling for words looks at them both kind of confused and then tells Jude "No, you just look great for once that's all".
Jude ignoring Sadie as usual walks over to Tommy and says "Hi"
Tommy finally snapping out of his mini coma smiles at her and says "Hi" and then hands her the bouquet of lilies.
Jude: Aww wow Tommy you didn't have to get me flowers, and they're my favorite! Thanks
Jude jumps into his arms and gives him a hug.
Tommy just laughs and says "well if that is the reaction I get when I give you flowers, I wonder what I'll get if I buy you a car"
Jude jokingly punches him in the arm and says, "that's the last time I show you gratitude"
Sadie finally joins the conversation and says "so what's on the agenda for tonight"?
Jude and Tommy forgetting that Sadie was even there both look at her, Tommy finally says "were going to Jude's album release party, I thought you knew"
Sadie: Actually I did, I do work at G major now ya know
Jude: Then why did you ask where we were going?
Sadie: I just wanted to see what you would say
Jude: Rolls her eyes and says "whatever Sadie, I invited you tonight, and you said you had a "date"
Sadie: I do, I met this really yummy guy at the mall yesterday, his name is Keith, and something tells me you'll be seeing a lot of him.
For some reason both Tommy and Jude had a weird feeling that Sadie was keeping something from them but chose to ignore it.
Tommy: Well sorry Sadie but Jude and I need to go or she is going to miss her own party.
Jude: Night Sadie, have fun with Keith
Sadie: Jude I'm going to be staying at Sarah's house tonight so don't expect me home before tomorrow ok.
Jude: Fine, I'll see ya later Sades.
Tommy and Jude walk over to the passenger side of Tommy's Viper, as Tommy opens Jude's door for her.
Tommy bows and says "after you milady"
Jude giggles and gets in
Tommy gets in and starts the car and starts driving towards G Major.
Jude looks over at Tommy as they drive and Tommy looks back and Jude who quickly looks away.
Tommy: Starts laughing, "what is it Jude"?
Jude: Nothing she says smiling, You just look really handsome.
They arrive at G major about 10 minutes later.
scene changes to a huge room with beautiful decorations and a full blown party going on
Tommy and Jude are sitting at a table talking about what they think Darius might be thinking of for Jude's summer, if a tour is in the midst sometime in the future, when all of a sudden the music is interrupted by D up on stage making an announcement.
Darius: I'd like to thank all of you for coming here this evening to help celebrate and congratulate Jude Harrison and all of G major in the successful completion of Jude's second album, I have high hopes for her, and I don't think she will disappoint, so without further adieu lets hear it for Jude Harrison and her producer Tom Quincy.
The room is filled with the thundering sound of hundreds of people clapping and cheering for Tommy and Jude.
They both stand and make their way to the stage where Darius is still standing. Jude walks up first and takes the mic.
Jude: Wow, You all have no idea how much of my heart, soul, and spirit has went into this second album, not to mention Tommy's. I could not have done any of this without my rock, my inspiration, Tommy.
Jude is looking into Tommy's eyes as she delivers her speech and in that one moment Tommy knew that without a doubt that he couldn't live without telling Jude how he felt about her, he knew words could not express what he was feeling at that moment, but he was sure going to try, he decided later that night when he got her alone, he'd confess all of the feelings he had been holding inside for 2 years.
Jude's voice broke him out of his thoughts and he made his way to the microphone.
Tommy: Jude's music is inside of her, and all she needed from me was a little bit of nudging in the right direction, she could have done it without me, but I'm happy she didn't have to.
Tommy and Jude look into each other's eyes across the room as the whole room erupts in applause.
The music starts back up again and Jude and Tommy start walking towards each other.
Jude: Thanks, for what you said up there Tommy it meant a lot.
Tommy: No problem girl, you know I only speak the truth.
Jude: Man this was a great party, but I'm starving.
Tommy: Me too, why don't we get out of here and let me buy you dinner.
Jude: I never turn down food Quincy, never.
scene changes to Jude and Tommy walking into a restaurant
Tommy: Reservations for Quincy, he tells the hostess
Jude: Glances over at Tommy and says, "Am I really that obvious"?
Tommy: Chuckles, "I took a chance"
Jude: You've been taking a lot of chances lately Tommy
TommyT. Well get ready Jude because I'm about to take one more.
