Chapter 10

It had been three days since Jude spoke to Tommy. Well except about her music. Tommy tried to apologize to her, but every time he brought up the subject she would find an excuse to leave.

"Dude. You have to forgive him." Speed said strumming his guitar lightly.

Jude and Speed were sitting in studio C.

Jude scoffed at Speed. "No. I don't have to do anything."

Speed just rolled his eyes.

" Speed! He basically called me a whore!" Jude said getting up from her chair.

"Dude apologized. He sent you flowers." He said watching her pace the floor. He knew she was thinking about it.

"Twice." She said softly.

"See? Flowers two times in three days. If that ain't love I don't know what is." Speed smiled.

Jude bit her bottom lip in contemplation. " I guess it wouldn't hurt to at least hear him out. I don't know Speed. I'm still mad!" Jude said sitting back down on the chair.

Suddenly they heard someone knock on the door and come in.

" Jude. Tommy and I are waiting for you so we can start recording." Kwest said. Then he turned to look at Speed. " When Wally and Kyle get here, tell them SME's recording after Jude."

Speed just nodded his head.

Jude grabbed her bag and walked to studio A with Kwest.

Two hours later, Tommy and Kwest were listening to Jude sing.

Suddenly Tommy saw Kwest tell him he was taking a break. And got up and left. Tommy watched Jude take off her head phones and walk out of the recording booth and into the mixing room where Tommy was. He watched her closely. " Jude. I need to talk to you."

Tommy mentally prepared himself for Jude's usual attitude toward him. But instead she smiled at him and put her finger up to her lips, signaling for him not to say anything. She locked the door and walked over to Tommy who was sitting down.

Before Tommy could form a thought Jude straddled his lap. Her hands went around his neck. She grabbed his hair and pushed him toward her, crashing her lips against his. Tommy's hands went up her thighs and under her skirt. Jude moaned into his mouth.

Tommy pulled back. " Jude. We really need to talk. I am so sorry about the other day."

Jude grinned down at him. " It's ok Tommy I forgive you. " She proceeded to kiss him again. He felt her hands make their way to the bulge that was forming in his pants. When he felt her stroking him he moaned her name.

Tommy's hands were still on her bare legs. He ran his hands under her skirt again. He pulled the thin fabric of her panties aside and inserted two fingers into her slowly. He picked up his pace once he heard her breathing becoming shallow. " Tommy!" She screamed. He smiled down at her. He heard her scream his name again. But this time she sounded angry.

" Tommy!!!!" He heard being screamed angrily again. Tommy opened his eyes and was surprised not to feel or see Jude on top of him anymore. He looked over to the chair next to him and saw Kwest giving him a weird look. Then he looked toward the recording both and saw a very displeased Jude. Her hands were at her hips.

" Tommy!! Are you going to day dream all day, or can we get this song recorded?"

Tommy stared dumbfounded at her. " It was a day dream." He thought himself. Then he looked at Jude. " What?" He uttered confused.

"Tom? You ok. Jude has been yelling at you for the last 5 minutes and all you did was smile." Kwest asked.

Before Tommy could answer, Jude took off her headphones. " I need a break." She said as she made her way to where Tommy and Kwest were.

" I'm going to get SME so they can get ready to record." Kwest said before he left.

Tommy watched Jude come into the studio and grab her bag. Everything was happening like in his day dream except Jude didn't smile and straddle him. She began to stare at him with a mad face.

" Is there a reason you're staring at me Quincy? Because It's not cute. " She said angrily and tried to leave.

"Jude. We need to talk." He sighed.

Jude tuned around slowly and frowned at him. " Unless it's about my music, WE have nothing to talk about." She attempted to leave again but this time Tommy grabbed her arm.

"Girl, where are you going?" He said still holding on to her arm.

"Girl? He thinks he an fix everything with an endearment." Jude thought.

"I thought I could go find Speed and fuck for a while. Because apparently that's what I do." She spat. She tried to loosen Tommy's grip on her arm with no luck.

" Jude. I already apologized for that. I was jealous. I didn't mean it. What did you want me to do?" He said trying to bring her closer to him.

"I wanted you to believe me. I wanted you to trust me!! Not some cheesy tabloid!!" She again tried to pull free from his grasp. He finally let go with a heavy sigh.

"Why didn't you tell me about your date with Spiederman?"

" It wasn't a date!!! Stupid Sadie lied to me and said she wanted to go to the movies with me. When we got there I saw Kwest and Speed. She had the whole thing planned out. She's been trying to push Speed and me back together. And after how you reacted to Sadie trying to get me together with Eric, I didn't want that to happen again. So I kept it from you. " She saw Tommy's face consumed with guilt. " There is nothing going on with me and Speed. Besides, Speed knows about us."

" You told him?" Tommy asked.

Jude just nodded her head.

"It wasn't the tabloid Jude. Sadie… she said you had went on a date with Speed and that you were trying to get back together with Speed. She said you were over me." He said sadly.

Tommy saw Jude's expression change. She gave him a small smile.

" Tommy." Jude smiled and walked over to him. She put her hand on his cheek. " You're an idiot." She smiled.

"I know." He said and kissed her lips lightly.

" Wait a minute! Sadie told you I went out with Speed and conveniently left out the part about me not knowing about the date? How….Sadie of her." Jude said backing away from Tommy. She looked up at him for a little while. " Don't look so relived Quincy. You're not off the hook yet. You should know better than to listen to my sister."

Tommy tried to hug her but she pulled away. " Not yet. All these misunderstandings have to stop. And I know how." She smiled.

"How's that girl?" Tommy asked.

"No more sneaking around. We need to go talk to Sadie. Now. "

Just then Sadie walked into the studio. " Jude. Tommy. Darius wants to talk to you in his office." She smiled and started to leave.

"Sadie I need to tell you something." Jude said looking at Sadie then back at Tommy who smiled at her.

Sadie gave Jude a weird expression. " What's going on? If this is about the tabloid, I told you. I didn't tell them about you and Speed." Sadie said quickly.

"Sade. This isn't about the tabloid. And there is no me and Speed." Jude sighed and looked back at Tommy.

Sadie looked at Tommy for a minute. Then she leaned in closer to Jude. " Oh ok. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about you and Speed getting back together." Sadie whispered.

Jude rolled her eyes. " I am not back with Speed. I'm actually…"

"Jude. I told you. It's ok. I know you're in love with Speed." Sadie interrupted.

"I am not in love with Speed!!!" Jude screamed.

Right when she said that, Kwest walked into the studio with Speed, Wally and Kyle.

"Why do you keep denying it? You're in love. I can see it in your eyes." Sadie crossed her arms across her chest and smiled. She looked over at Tommy who was grinning widely. "What's he smiling about?" Sadie thought.

"Yes! You're right I am in love. But not with Speed!!" Jude exclaimed.

Sadie looked at Jude for a minute. " But…" Before Sadie could say anything more, Jude spoke again.

" I'm in love with Tommy."

Jude tuned around and took Tommy's hand, bringing him to stand next to her. "We've been dating in secret. I just didn't know how to tell you."

Sadie looked at Jude and Tommy's intertwined hands then at Jude again. Her mouth open in shock at Jude's revelation.

Jude noticed Kwest and Speed at the door smiling. Kyle and Wally looked confused but interested and amused about what was going on.

"You're dating Tommy?" Sadie said still surprised.

A/N: So there it is. I'll try not to keep you waiting too long for the ending. Tell me what you think.
