Chap 6

Meeting

"Jude. Come on honey. You need to wake up."

Jude opened her eyes to see Tommy standing over her. "No one more day."

"Hey you were the one that was complaining about missing the meeting last night."

"No, I was complaining about you missing the meeting." Jude rolled over, putting the pillow over her head. "Now let me sleep."

Tommy stood up, pulling up his sleeves with a smirk. "You can't blame me for doing this now. You brought it on yourself."

"Do what?"

Jude's question was answered by Tommy tickling her. She let out a startled scream that soon turned into a fit of giggles.

"Okay, I'm up." Jude gasped as she got up.

"Good." Tommy stopped as he leaned closer to her until their faces were no more that an inch apart. "I haven't properly said good morning yet."

Jude plastered a grin on her face, remembering the night before. "Well your just going to have to change that aren't you?"

"Yeah, I guess I am." Tommy's smile grew wider as he closed the gap between them.

A little while later Jude pulled back. "What time does the meeting start?" she asked as she looked at the clock; 6:45.

"It starts at 7:15." Tommy answered as he leaned back in.

"I've… got… to… get …ready." Jude said in between kisses.

Tommy pulled back a little to contradict, but never got a chance as Jude quickly got up, gave him another small kiss, and then called, "I'm going to get ready, meet you outside in 10." As she walked into her bathroom.

15 min. later Jude walked out of the house with a packet of pop tarts and a cup of coffee to see Tommy leaning against his Viper.

"Took you long enough." Tommy complained.

"Well sooorry." Jude rolled her eyes as she leaned in and gave him a kiss. She then got in the car as Tommy walked around to the driver's side. He then started the car and they drove off.

When they got to G Major Tommy squeezed her hand as if to say We can get through today.

As soon as they walked into the studio E.J pulled them into the conference room.

They looked over at the clock-7:17.

"You're late." Georgia sat in front of them with a smirk on her face.

"Shut up." Tommy walked over, Jude following him, and sat down.

"So what's up?" Jude asked.

"Well," Georgia started, "We have a great PR opportunity for Jude at the Vinyl palace."

Tommy looked over at a grinning Jude. "That's great."

"Sure the PR would be great but it's the subject that bothers us." Georgia continued.

"What is it Georgia?"

"They want to ask you about Shay."

"Oh." Jude's eyes fell downcast.

"She's not doing it." Tommy leaned back in his chair and looked at Georgia. "It's too soon."

Georgia nodded understandably. "That's what I thought. I just didn't want to say no before talking to you two first."

Georgia got up to walk out of the room. "If you'll excuse me I've got a call to make."

"No I'll do it." Georgia turned around to see that Jude had stood up.

She looked at Jude but Tommy spoke her thought, "What?"

"Jude I don't think that's a good idea."

"G Major needs the press and I can deal. The snow must go on right?" Jude started towards the exit. "Tell them I'll meet them there at 12 okay? Good. Meeting's over." She then walked out of the room, leaving everyone wide eyed and jaw opened in awe.
