Chapter 21: Can We?

When I woke up the next morning it was because Cora and Brian woke us up knocking on the door. They didn't know that Jude was with me.

"Dude, mom and dad didn't tell us you had a chick in here." Brian said. My arm was around Jude, and I looked down. Her head was on my chest and I didn't want to wake her.

"Dude, where are your manners?" I asked him in a sarcastic tone.

"Alright, I'm, hold on we are both sorry for coming in here. Mom and dad didn't tell us, we can both swear it." Cora said to me.

"I believe you both. This Jude-" before I could finish speaking Cora and Brian both cut me off "Jude Harrison, as in the winner of Instant Star." They both said in unison.

"Yes, she is. The Jude Harrison, she is my wife."

"DUDE, SERIUOSLY?" They yelled

"Jesus Christ would both of you shut up?" I said.

"Sorry but, I love her music. She is so awesome." Cora said with a smile from ear to ear.

"Dude, I think she's freaking hot." Brian said.

"Tommy?" Jude said just waking up.

"Yeah?"

"Who the hell is yelling?"

"That would be Cora, and Brian. They came in here without permission and they didn't know."

Jude sat up and straightened her hair out a little bit. She just looked around the room. I knew she wasn't going to be very responsive yet because she hasn't had any caffeine yet. Jude looked as beautiful as ever, even though she had just woken up.

"Hi, nice to meet both of you." She said. Jude was a little embarrassed because I could tell she flushed a little.

"Mom, sent us up here originally to tell you that breakfast is thirty minutes, and to hurry up and to not be late." Brian said.

"Alright, tell her that we will be down there in a few minutes." I told them. They both turned around and they left.

"Of course I meet them when I am just in a t-shirt, and when I just wake-up." She said laughing at herself and the encounter that just took place.

"Oh please, you looked great and they were actually being modest."

"Hold on, why was screaming involved?" She asked me.

"Technically because they didn't know I had a girl in here with me and secondly because they couldn't tell who you were."

"They didn't know we were married or dating?"

"No, the main reason is because I didn't want my father showing up in Toronto on our big day and making everything worse, plus I didn't want to involve them. Yes, they are my family and I love them but, I didn't want to strain our relationship anymore than what it had already been through." I said to her.

"I guess your right that would never have gone over well." She said to me.

"Jude, we have to get up sometime soon."

"Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Can we wait to go back?"

"Go back where?"

"Home, we stay here until New Years and then we go back to Toronto but, we don't go out in public unless it's necessary. I don't like the press in on every little detail of my life, and I don't want any stress because you and I both know that it won't be good for me or Emma."

"We can do that, if you want. What are we going to tell everyone and what are we going to do about our jobs?"

"We can record from the portable studio and send them to Darius via e-mail."

"Alright, come on let's go downstairs and get this over with."

We walked downstairs and my parents and my siblings were sitting at the table. Jude and I walked over and sat down beside one another. My parents were in a conversation and Cora, and Brian hadn't even gotten down stairs yet.

When they finally got downstairs and breakfast was over Jude and I went out because she wanted to go shopping. When we finished and Jude had a carrying loads and loads of bags we hadn't even been spotted yet. But there was something on the front page of the paper that caught my attention. It was from last night when Amy dragged me off. The headline was 'Quincy back in Rome on honeymoon and already sneaking around with ex-girlfriend Amy Smith, who is married to actor Aiden Smith'. Jude saw the paper and knew that it wasn't true.

"They don't know how to stay out do they?" She asked me.

"No, things are going to get far worse than this."

"Jude and I knew what was going to come and we knew that we could face it together. Jude and I had a love that could stand through anything. Nothing was going to tear us apart, nothing. I wasn't going to lose Jude over some silly little headline that wasn't even real. Things were perfect, and that's they was that they were going to stay.
