Decisions, Decisions

"This is going to be the easiest twenty dollars I have ever made." Jude said to herself as she picked up the newest edition of the newspaper off her front step and opened to the entertainment section as she walked into the kitchen. She set the paper on the counter and skimmed the article.

"I so called it." Jude said and picked up her phone and called Mason.

"Ha, I called it. You owe me twenty bucks. I will see you later to collect my winnings." Jude gloated to his voicemail. She then looked at the accompanying photos. The first was of her hugging Chad when he first greeted her in the lobby. In the second, Jude and Chad were walking down the hallway and his hand was on her back. Jude looked at the next picture and said, "That looks a little incriminating."

It showed Chad's arms around Jude, his hands on her waist and Jude's hands on his biceps. They were smiling at each other. The other pictures were of Chad and Jude getting into his car and outside of Jude's house. There were a few of her and Mason, spanning from dinner to his house, mixed in.

"Wow, the piranhas were around for a while." Jude thought aloud.

She closed the paper and changed into a tank top and black jeans. She threw on her jean jacket and took Lara for a walk. They walked for quite a while and on their way back, a young man with a small video camera approached her.

"Jude, Jude." he waved to get her attention.

Jude looked at him and waved, then recognized him as a paparazzi from CDN, a late night, trashy tabloid television show. She kept walking and he kept up with her, camera pointed in her direction.

"How are you today, Jude?"

"I am awesome, how are you?"

"I am doing well. So, Jude there are rumors that our favorite power couple broke up. How are you handling it?" Jude slowed her pace a little.

"What?" Jude answered, "Brangelina called it quits? That is so sad."

The man looked at her, clearly caught off guard, saw that she was joking and continued, "Nope, not them, our other favorite power couple."

"Oh, you mean me and Tom," Jude smiled at him, "I didn't know I was part of a power couple, that's wicked. What do you guys call us?"

"Jommy."

"Jommy," Jude seemed to mull it over, "I like it. Kinda rolls off the tongue."

"So, how are you handling it?"

"You know, I don't like to comment on my personal life."

"What about the mystery woman?"

"What about her?"

"How does she fit into this? Who is she?"

"Nice try," Jude smirked, "my lips are sealed."

"Can't blame a guy for trying."

"Oh, for sure."

"So, you made an appearance at Tom's CD release party a while back. You sounded great by the way."

"Thank you."

"That's got many people curious, are you making a comeback? You have a duet with him on his album, are you going to start doing shows again?"

"I am focusing on producing right now."

"So, is that a yes, for sometime in the future?"

"It's a 'I'm good where I am so why mess with it?' Besides, I'm not Cher. I won't bounce in and out of retirement. As much as I love her, she needs to make up her mind. I think if she loves it as much as she does she should keep doing it."

"Thanks for your time, Jude."

"You're welcome," Jude responded, "and camera guy…"

He looked back at her, "I'm trusting you won't sound-byte me. I catch the show every now and then, so I'll know."

"Of course, Ms. Harrison." He took Jude's warning for what it was and walked away.

Jude and Lara walked the remaining blocks and picked up her mail before walking to her house. Jude let Lara off her leash once they were back in the house and Lara took off running to the other room.

Jude flipped through the mail and threw the things that could wait on the table next to the door. She smiled to herself as she pulled Tom's letter out of the stack and abandoned the rest. She sat down on the couch as she pulled the paper out of the envelope. She read it and smiled, thinking about how it would be when he and the guys come back, even for only a day or two.

She slipped the letter back into the envelope and put it in an old photo box in her closet. As she closed the lid and slid the box back to it's place, her phone rang.

"Hey Sades." Jude answered, "I was just gonna call you. Do you wanna hang out tonight?"

"Sure, what do you wanna do?"

"How about we hang out at your place; I'll bring supplies."

"Sounds good. I'll see you when you get here. I might be in the shower, so you can let yourself in."

"Okay, be there soon." They hung up and Jude grabbed a tote bag and went to the kitchen and started putting in the necessary items. She grabbed a few things from the living room and put them in the bag as she walked out the door.

She walked up to Sadie's apartment and let herself in.

"Sades, I can't get over how awesome this place is." Jude called to her as she scanned the open floor plan and walked to the kitchen, just to the right, and started pulling things out of her bag and setting them out on the counter.

After a few minutes, Sadie came out of her room and saw a large bowl of popcorn with chocolate drizzled over it and a bottle of wine.

"Hey sis." Sadie smiled, hugging Jude. "I love it when you make popcorn."

"I know." Jude handed her a glass of wine, "What should we toast to?"

"Us being awesome."

"Okay." Jude nodded and they touched rims.

"Now," Jude pulled out a few movies from the bag, "we've got the classics," she held up The Notebook and The Prince and Me, "or something new." She held up Burlesque and The Proposal.

Sadie looked them over, picked up Burlesque and read the back. Jude continued, "Or, if those don't work we could watch The Fast and the Furious."

Sadie's eyes flicked up to her.

"I've got one through five." Jude taunted.

"Hmmm," Sadie seemed to think it over, "chick flick or hot guys with fast cars; decisions, decisions."

"If you're looking for hot guys, you get to see Cam Gigandet naked in this one." Jude pointed to the movie in her hand.

"You know what, lets watch a new one, we've seen the others so many times." Sadie handed her Burlesque.

Jude smiled, "I love this movie."

"I bet you do." Sadie smirked.

"Yep, and it has nothing to do with the naked guy either." Jude told her, "I like the glamour behind it."

"Mhm."

"Hey, I'm not the one who decided to watch it after she found out about the naked guy."

Together, they brought everything from the kitchen to the living room. Sadie put in the DVD and sat down next to Jude on the couch.

"So, how are you doing?" Jude asked as the previews ran.

"I'm fine." Jude studied her for a minute.

"Are you going to tell me the truth?" She asked, seeing traces of anger and sadness in her eyes.

Sadie sighed, "I'm good, Jude, really."

"Okay." Jude said with a nod and pushed play.

When the movie was over Sadie was almost asleep.

"You're right, that was a good movie." Sadie yawned.

"I knew you would like it."

"I think it's time for you to go to bed." Jude told her as she started to nod off.

"I think so too." Sadie stood and stretched.

"Good night."

"Night and thanks Jude."

"Anytime Sades, I'll see you later."

"Bye." Jude heard Sadie lock up behind her.

The clock showed midnight when Jude glanced at the clock on her nightstand. She sat cross-legged on her bed with a pen and paper.

Tom,

The new job is going well. I think you would like these guys. I'll have to introduce you sometime. Just so you know, I never doubted you, no matter what the piranhas say. I love you and trust you completely so there are no worries. Other people seemed a little concerned, mostly Mason. I don't know why, maybe he was just making sure that things were still good. I had an impromptu interview walking down the street with CDN and they asked all kinds of questions too. I was vague because I don't want to tell them anything and I think it might be fun to mess with the piranhas a little. I don't know what you think about that, but I say let them believe what they want. They never print anything true anyway.

I can't wait to see you. I miss my Jommy lovin (That is our power couple name by the way. Apparently we are so awesome together we get a nickname), and before you think it, no, I don't only want you for your body, I miss your personality too.

Jude

P.S. There's some fun stuff in here too.

Jude grabbed another piece of paper and the pictures from the paper, along with some scissors and tape. She cut out the pictures and taped them to the paper. Then she wrote a caption next to each one. She then pulled out the paper Mason had given her and cut those pictures up and put them on the paper as well.

When she was finished, she smiled to herself and folded it up with the letter and put it in an envelope. Before sealing it she slid a couple pictures that Dom emailed to her from Karma's birthday party and stuck it in the mailbox.
