PS Sadie is in the next chapter
Chapter 3Patience
'I'm still hurting from a love I lost,'"Thank you so much for coming, I guess it took my 50th to bring you back home" D smiled, he didn't notice how she winced at the word home.
"Oh you know work keeps you busy and you of all people shoud know that" she said smiling
" Yes you're right, what has it been?! How many years… ten?"
"Yes well, time flies when you're enjoying yourself" Jude replied. This wasn't strictly a lie. She has enjoyed herself, in some ways. its just the people around her that weren't right. She sat down on the familiar leather couch and sat there in deep thought. She felt like the scared and lost teenager again.
"You okay, Jude? Do you want a glass of water or something?" D looked concerend while Jude quikly recovered.
"Water? C'mon lets celebrate I am back so lets have some chapmagne." She came back to life smiling.
" Jude, I know you said a million times on the phone that you do not sing. But I was wonering-"
"No. D I said it a million times and I will say it again. I'm sorry." Her face stiffened and D gave her a glass of champagne.
" Jude for my 50th all the Instant Stars are singing its going to be like a mini concert of people that I ever signed up. Jude just consider the options. I'll pay you of course" D told her while she just laughed. Not in a cruel way but in a sort of shocked amuesed way.
"You of all people should know that you cannot buy me." She sook her head.
"You know what I mean, I would've thought you've gotten over tommy by know."
"This isn't about tommy"
"Yes it is and you and I know it"
So much for not mentioning him she thought.
" D you don't understand"
"Well why don't you explain yourself then because you're right I don't understand. Being a singer is a way opf expressing your emotions and you know that. Jude this way of you deeling with Tommy isn't right, you've got a gift. Use it."
" Look I'm sorry I have to go " she said as she began to stand up and gathering her things.
" Jude honey wait,"
She stopped and looked at him. She could sence his regret in what he'd said, maybe he was right . She didn't know anymore . This was Jude's way of deeling with herself and not Tommy.
D noticed that Jude was far away, lost in her thoughts. He did regret what he had said to her because he decided that he should've waited until the dinner that they were going to have that night
"Jude are we still having dinner tonight?" He thought she was going to be divaish and say no but to his surprise the response was
"Why wouldn't we? I still wanna catch up" She was very surprised by the question. Jude learned not to break her promises, she believes that doing that breaks someone's heart. She learned the hard way. She promised D that she would go out to dinner with him and in doing so she was keeping the promise.
"Okay then, what time shall I pick you and your assistant, I believe up?"
"Is it okay if she comes, I really don't want to leave her in at our first time in Toronto" Jude asked generally concerned about her friend. She and Amamnda have become good friends. Amanda liked Judes polite aprouch to life but she didn't really know Jude like these people in Gmajour and that's what scared Jude the most.
"Of course! So what time then will I pick yopu up?"
"Don't worry I've got my limo"
"Oh. Okay." D smiled hiding his amazement. He knew she was successful but he found it very hard to believe that she would actually order a limo for all her stay here. Sounds like something a diva would do, but then again this is Jude at 28, she does need security and he wouldn't be surprised if she had a body guard. How things change, he thought.
"Fine and D you know I hate surprises" Jude hoped D didn't have anything planned, but of course he had. A devilish grin spread across his face.
"Don't you worry about one thing Jude, I know exactly what you like and what you don't like," he silently added
" …And weather you like it or not you've come to face your past and my, you are going to face it"
"Bye" She told him as she walked out the door
Amanda gracefully stood up from the orange couch where she was talking to a very handsome young man. She smiled and waved her goodbyes. She joined Jude and the two walked out into the street where their limo was waiting.
