Jude smiled into the face of her fiancé as he set her down. Jasper was not one for showing public displays of affection, but when he did it was pure magic. He always knew how to make her feel special. Sure he was late 96 of the time and yeah he didn't answer his phone, but relationships were all about patience and tolerance, right?

"Hey Babe" Jasper ruffled her hair. Jude giggled "Hey to you too" and just stared into his face completely mesmerized by him.

"Ahem" Jude turned to Tommy. She slapped her forehead "I'm so sorry. I can be so rude sometimes. Tommy this is Jasper, Jazz this is Tommy." Jasper extended his hand out to Tommy. Tommy looked down at it for a couple seconds before finally shaking it. Jasper smiled politely "Hey man" "Hey"

Right from the start, Tommy knew he was not going to get along with Jasper McNamara. Jasper was maybe about twenty three, 5'10, had short brown hair and green eyes. He was wearing a black leather jacket, 'Or trying to' and black faded jeans 'Could they be any tighter?'

As he thought about whether he could take him, Jasper asked him "So how do you know Jude". Tommy smirked "Jude and I go way back, don't we?" 'That's right, keep him wondering' "Yeah, way back"

Jasper watched as Jude smiled warmly to Tommy. He noticed something different about this smile cause for one he had never seen it before. This smile, with her barely parted lips, curved upward in one corner lighting her face as if a light was just turned on inside her. Her eyes had turned into a clear sky blue. Possessively, Jasper wrapped his arm around her shoulders and brought her closer to his body, then placed a kiss on top of her head. "She's something special isn't she?" Watching this, Tommy was secretley glad Jasper thought he was a threat. "You have no idea how special" Jasper eyes watched as Tommy's gaze never left her face. "Have you ever seen her sing?" Tommy glared at Jasper "Of course I have" He then smiled at Jude "The best part is when she performs a song she had just written." Jasper stared at Tommy confused. He then turned his face towards Jude, "You write songs? But I thought you said that you always had a songwriter." Jude looked up at Jasper, trying hard to ignore Tommy's stares. "I used to, but it was just kid stuff." She smiled at him, him being content with her answer.

'She stopped writing? What happened to her?' Tommy mentally slapped himself 'You did you idiot, when you left her.' Tommy looked away from her as waves of guilt washed over him. He looked down at his watch "I should get going. It's late and I have a meeting to get to." He faced Jude and gave her that lopsided grin she hated herself for missing. As he began to turn, Jude shot out from underneath Jasper's arm and grabbed Tommy's shoulder. "I'm in New York for a couple days, I was wondering if maybe you would like to hang out sometime?" Tommy smiled at her "That would be cool. Catch up on old times?" Jude's smile got bigger. "So, tomorrow at two okay? We'll meet back here?" Tommy nodded "That's fine with me"

A cough interrupted their conversation and Jude turned to face her fiancé. "Oh, Jazz do you want to come too?" Tommy, unseen by both, rolled his eyes. Jasper frowned "Sorry, I can't. I'm in meetings all day tomorrow." Tommy pouted his bottom lip, "Aww, that's too bad." He then turned his attention back to Jude "I'll see you tomorrow Big Eyes." Jude felt a blush creep up the back of her neck hearing him use her old nickname. "Yeah, tomorrow."

Tommy, with a sideways glance at Jasper, leaned forward and kissed her cheek, then turned and walked away. Jasper grabbed Jude's hand roughly and steered her in the opposite direction. Jude rested her head on Jasper's shoulder, unaware of the battle that had just taken place between her past and future.
