A/N: Hi! This is my first fan-fic so please go easy on me. I'll try my best and post as much as I can. Okay so this fic takes place during 'Date with the Night.' The only difference is that Tommy never left and they had their date. The rest of the story just follows.
Disclaimer: I do not own "Instant Star"
Jude and Tommy sat eating their dinner, glancing at one another from time to time when the other wasn't looking. It wasn't this awkward at first. They went to dinner straight after Jude's performance so they obviously spoke about how great she was. But once that conversation ended the awkwardness settled in. Jude was staring at her food and began to laugh. Tommy couldn't help but chuckle.
Tommy: What? What's so funny? Did I get food on my face?
He quickly started cleaning his face with a napkin. Jude just shook her head and smiled.
Jude: No, no you don't have food on you. I was just thinking. It's funny how long it took us to get here and now that we are actually here we have nothing to talk about.
Tommy: Yeah .. I was thinking about that also. I mean usually I can't get you to shut up.
He finished his last words with a smirk. Jude mouth shot open in shock.
Jude: Hey! That's not fair I only talk so much with you because it's not like I see anyone else to tell them what's been going on. I'm always locked up in the studio with you.
Tommy: I never said it was a bad thing that you always talk .. and what you don't like being locked up in the studio with me?
Tommy smiled at Jude. She couldn't help but blush and look down at her plate.
Jude: Tommy you know I would rather be locked in a studio with you all day then be doing anything else.
After that the rest of their dinner went by smoothly. No more awkward silence. Just happy talk. When they finished dinner, they decided to take a walk. It wasn't as cold and they didn't want the night to end. They didn't walk anywhere specific just walked and talked.
Jude: Tommy I have a question ... and I don't want it to ruin anything but --
Tommy: Jude nothing you say will ruin this, I promise.
He smiled at her with his eyes staring deep down into her, reassuring her that he would always be there.
Jude: Why now? What made you ask me out? I mean nothing has changed from before. I'm still your artist and I'm still not 18 .. so why --
Her words got cut off by Tommy's lips. He couldn't help himself. He knew kissing her would give her all the answers. It took Jude a few seconds to respond because she wasn't expecting him to kiss her. Especially out in the open like this. When she finally came to her senses she kissed him back with all that she had. Everything that she had been feeling for all those years. Their kissing started to heat up and Jude slowly pulled away, out of breath.
Jude (out of breath): Tommy ... wow ... I wasn't expecting that.
Tommy (smiling): I'm tired of hiding my feelings. From you and from myself. I don't care what anyone says anymore. Jude I'm in love with you and have been for a long time now. I just can't keep pushing these feelings to the side.
Tears started to build up in Jude's eyes. Could it be possible? Has he always felt the same way about me as I have about him?
Jude: Tommy .. I love you ...
And with that Tommy planted his lips on hers again deepening it right away. As they were in a major lip-lock drips of rain started to come down. They both looked up to the sky, still holding on to each other. Their heads slowly came down and they stared into each others eyes, smiling and losing themselves in the love that they both shared for one another. Finally they broke their stare and started running for Tommy's car, hand in hand.
By the time they reached the car the rain was coming down much harder then before and they were both completely soaked. Sitting in the car Tommy looked at Jude.
Tommy: I'm completely wet. It's a good thing I didn't take the Viper. This would not be good for my seats.
Jude just shook her head laughing.
Tommy: So, now what ...
He didn't want their night to end and was hoping that she felt the same way. Luckily for him she did.
Jude: How about we go to your place and watch a movie. I love watching movies during thunderstorms.
Tommy: Are you sure? I mean you're clothes are all wet?
Why do I even speak? Are you sure I asked? She just offered to come to my house and I'm telling her maybe she should go home since her clothes are wet. What is wrong with me? Tommy thought to himself.
Jude: It's okay .. I'm sure I can find something to wear at your place.
Who could argue with that? Tommy though and drove off to his place.
