Do I Baby?
By: If Ur Happy And U No It
Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby?
Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy?
Do I have your love? Am I still enough?
Tell me don't I, or tell me do I baby.
Do I -Luke Bryan
Chapter One -
Jack Sparrow and his Bumblebee
It was a glorious eighty-nine degrees outside and it would figure that I would be stuck inside. And can you think of anything--or I should say, anyone--that would keep inside on such a wonderful day as this? I know I can. Tommy had me cooped up inside the small, hot, and smelly studio recording a song. I'm pretty sure that the smelly part of the studio was me. The heat was making me sweat so much I would go so far as to say that I must've lost at least two and a half pounds just by sweating.
"Jude! Are you listening to me?" Tommy's voice came over the speaker, unusually loud and annoying.
"Yeah! I'm frickin' listening to you!" I yelled back at him.
"Really? What did I just say?" He challenged.
"You said that you were being a jackass." I muttered.
"Jude!" He yelled.
"C'mon Tommy! This is stupid. I already recorded the song perfectly. Why are you keeping me in here?"
"Believe me, Jude. You're better off in here then out there."
That confused me slightly. "Why am I better off in here?"
"It's October." He replied.
"Yeah, and?"
"G-Major is having a Halloween Party. Portia's out there right now picking out Halloween costumes. I'm doing you a favor by hiding you."
"Yikes. Couldn't you have just told me instead of making do this song over and over again?"
He shrugged. I exited the sound booth and went over to where Tommy was sitting.
"So did Portia already pick out your costume?" I asked him. I was curious as to what it was.
"Yep."
"And? What is it?"
"How do you feel about The Pirates of the Caribbean Movies?"
"They're good. Why?"
"I'm Jack Sparrow. Captian Jack Sparrow." He said.
I busted out laughing. I just couldn't picture Tommy dressing up as Jack Sparrow. "Are you gonna wear it?"
"I've got no choice! Darius says he'll fire anyone who doesn't wear they're costume. I need this job."
"Wow. I'd hate to see what mine is."
"Maybe you'll be Elizabeth. Then we can go together."
I chuckled at this. "Sorry, but Elizabeth is with Will Turner. Nice try though." He smiled back at me.
The door to the studio came flying open. Portia stood in the doorway. I felt myself sink down in my chair. "Let's go Jude. I can't wait for you to see your costume!" She wrabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the studio. I turned me head long enough to mouth "help" and see Tommy shrug his shoulders.
I walked into the studio to see Tommy mixing one of Karma's songs. I threw the black clothes bag that held my horrible costume down on the couch in there. Tommy looked at me sheepishly. "So?"
"I'm not saying what it is and I'm not wearing it to the party." I told him.
"C'mon girl. It can't be that bad." He said. I threw myself down in my chair. He picked my feet up and put them in his lap.
"It is that bad, Tommy." He just looked at me. "Fine. Fine, I'll tell you." I hestitated. I truly hated this costume. I would rather be Jack Sparrow. He urged me on. "A Bumblebee." I muttered.
"What? I can't hear you, Jude. You're mumbling."
"A Bumblebee! I'm a damn Bumblebee!" (You can see this costume on my profile.)
"A Bumblebee? Are you serious?" I nodded. "Wow."
"Yeah." I said.
"Well, at least you'll be a cute Bumblebee."
"Don't be a dork, Tommy." I said pulling my feet back.
"I'm not the one that's gonna be dressed up as a bug." he said smiling.
"Hey!" I hit him in the chest.
The door to the studio opened and Darius came in looking extremely mad. "You two in my office now." And with that he slammed the door shut.
I looked at Tommy. He looked abosolutely terrifed. "What'd we do?"
He shook his head. "I have no idea."
Inside Darius's office, Tanya, G-Major's Publicity Agent, sat on the edge of Darius's desk. Tommy and I sat down in front of them.
"Tanya here thinks that both of you are in need of some publicity." said Darius.
"We've devised a plan that will put you two on the map for all the hottest magazines and t.v. shows. You two are going to 'date'." Tanya smiled. I felt my face drop and my heart speed up.
"Wait, woah, woah, woah. Jude and I are not going to 'date'." Tommy said.
"And why not? You would look so good together. And its just pretend."
I started thinking while Tommy, Darius, and Tanya all argued. For two years now Tommy and I have skittered around each other because of my age and because of Darius and now he was giving us permission to date?! How was that fair?!
"We'll do it on two conditions." I said. All three stuttered and stared at me. "We will?" Tommy asked.
"Yes. We will."
"Okay, what are your two conditions?" Darius asked me. He looked sceptical.
"The first is that Tommy gets to record again." I looked at Tommy and he just stared back at me. I knew he'd been dying to get back into the studio and record some of his own stuff.
"The second?" Darius urged.
"I will not, and I repeat will not, be a Bumblebee for Halloween."
