Yes, Sadie said, it's to soon, wait another day at least, before you call, you don't want him to think you're desperate.
So Jude waited, but as she waited she searched for a song, the one from lastnight, she couldn't, for the life of her, think of who sang it, so she searched the radio for it, wanting to hear it so she could play it along with her memories of dancing with him last night.
But after flipping through the stations for an hour, and not hearing it, that's when an idea hit her, and she grabbed her journal and guitar and headed for the back yard.

Tommy walked into Billys house the next day and grabbed a can of coke out of the fridge as he headed for the dinning room.
Billy was sitting at the table, his laptop in front of him, when Tommy walked in. "Hey" He said as Tommy sat down. "Hey" he said as he sat down and looked at, but did not open the can of coke.
Billy raised his brows "What's up?" Tommy frowned slightly "Do you...I mean have you...." Billy chuckled "Tom, what is it?" Tommy sighed "Do not laugh, if you laugh, I won't be held responsible for my actions." Billy smiled but nodded "Alright, what's going on?"
Tommy took a breath "Do you think, love at first meeting, if not first sight, is possible?"
Billy raised his brows again "Wow, um I don't know, it's never happened to me, but that doesn't mean it's not real. You and Jude get along that well last night?"
Tommy shrugged "I don't know, I just, I really like her. She really seemed to just, I don't know, get me I guess. unlike anyone else ever has before." He shrugged again "I don't know, I probably sound insane."
Billy shook his head "No, you don't. If you like her that much, that's great, tell her." He smiled "I don't know about the love stuff yet, but let her know you like her."
Tommy chuckled and nodded "Yeah, I guess you're right." He stood up "I'm going to take a walk, I'll see you later."
...................................................................
Tommy was walking down a street, but wasn't sure what street, it'd been awhile since he walked anywhere here. But that wasn't what had him stopping and looking around, it was the music, it sounded so close, and then he heard a voice sing a few words with it, before stopping, then it started up again.
He looked up at the house on his right just as Sadie walked out. She saw him and smiled "Hey." then she frowned "Did she call you?" Tommy shook his head, slightly confused "No, why?"
Sadie smiled again "No reason, she's out back if you want to go around there, I'm sure she'd been happy to see you."
Tommy nodded, still confused, but headed toward the back of the house anyway.
There was a low fence around the yard, and he saw a gate, and walked up to it, but stopped when he saw her sitting there. She was sitting sideways in a wooden chair, her hair moving in the slight breeze, a journal laying in her lap and her guitar in her hands.
She stroked the strings a few times, then opened her mouth.
i don't know who sings it, i keep searchin' the radio
i just want to hear it,
so i can watch that video, i got in my head of a blue eyed boy
dancin' in the bed of a two toned ford
oh lord is it love, i just can't say
but i've, had that song in my head all day
Jude sighed and frowned at the page. Tommy was stunned, her voice was beautiful, and he knew that song was about him.
He opened the gate "Can I have an autograph?" He asked as he walked over.
Jude jumped and looked surprised to see him "Hey, what are you doing here?"
Tommy shrugged "I was walking down the street and heard you, Sadie said you back here, and to come on back. The song sounded great by the way."
Jude nodded and looked down at her journal and blushed as she realized he just heard her sing a song she wrote about him.
Tommy sat down in the chair next to hers "Can I hear the whole thing?" Jude looked up at him, he was freaked out by it? The last time she wrote a song about a guy, they had been dating for a couple of months, and he freaked out and broke up with her. Now here was this guy, who she had known for less than twenty-four hours and he wanted to hear more. "Um, yeah I guess." He smiled and sat back, waiting for her to start.
Jude cleared her thoat "I was thinking about calling it, That Song In My Head." He nodded and she picked her guitar back up.
(That Song In My Head, Julianne Hough)
you were hangin' your feet off the tailgate of billy dawns ford
i grew up in this little bitty town, never seen you before
you were swayin' in the moon light while the radio played
and i've, i've had that song in my head all day
it was a, sweet southern soulful thing that got me down deep
you cought me staring at you, but you smiled back at me
you started swingin' that air guitar man you sure can play
and i've, had that song in my head all day
i don't know who sings it, i keep searchin' the radio
i just want to hear it,
so i can watch that video, i got in my head of a blue eyes boy
dancin' in the bed of a two toned ford
oh lord is it love, i just can't say
but i've, had that song in my head all day
i said, how 'bout an autograph for your biggest fan
you wrote your name and your number in the palm of my hand
my heart and that big bay speaker were thumpin' away
and i've, had that song in my head all day
i don't know who sings it, i keep searchin' the radio
i just want to hear it,
so i can watch that video, i got in my head of a blue eyes boy
dancin' in the bed of a two toned ford
oh lord is it love, i just can't say
i don't know who sings it, i keep searchin' the radio
i just want to hear it,
so i can watch that video, i got in my head of a blue eyes boy
dancin' in the bed of a two toned ford
oh lord is it love, i just can't say
but i've, had that song in my head all day
it's been in my head all day
When she finished the song, he didn't say anything and she was almost to afraid to look at him. But when she finally did raise her eyes to his face, she saw he was smiling.
Tommy smiled and nodded his head a couple of times "That was a great song, I loved it."
Jude looked as if he were lying "Really?" He nodded "Yeah" He smiled again "I've never had anyone write a song about me before."
Jude shrugged "I told you I write about everything."
Tommy shook his head "Actually, I think I remember you saying that you write about everything, that means something to you."
Jude looked up at him again and shrugged "You're right, that is what I said." She responded, wondering what he would say next.
He looked around the yard, before looking back to her "So you want to do something tonight? With me?" Jude chuckled and nodded "Yeah, I do."
Tommy nodded "Alright." He stood up "How about I come back here and pick you up at about seven?" Jude nodded and he turned to leave. He had walked a few paces when he stopped and came back "Oh, I almost for got something."
Jude looked at him "What?" She asked as he came closer to her. He reached down and picked up her guitar and placed it in the other seat, then took her journal and laid it on the table in between the chairs. Then, grabbing Judes hand, he pulled her to her feet. She opened her mouth to ask what he was doing, when his mouth came down over hers, and she didn't have to ask.
Pulling back a moment later he smiled "I'll see you tonight." then he turned and walked away.
Jude sat down and picked up her guitar and started playing the song again as Sadie walked out. "Did Tommy leave already?" Jude nodded "Yeah, but he'll be back tonight, we have a date." She said with a smile, then it a few cords as she sang.
is it love, i just can't say
but i've, had that song in my head all day.........
