Hey, so here it is, the song. I hope you like it, this song is what made me write the whole story. I heard it one day, and just knew it would be perfect for Tommy and Jude. I hope you feel the same way about it. :)

.................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Jude smiled "That would make a great song."

Tommy laughed and Jude looked confused "What's so funny?"

He shook his head "We are perfect for each other."

Jude lowered her brows "Why do you say that?"

Tommy chuckled "I already wrote that song."

Jude laughed "Really? Can I hear it?"

Tommy nodded and sat up "Yeah, you have a guitar?"

Jude nodded and pointed to her case, and Tommy reached over to the side of the bed where it was, and opened it.

He turned back to her and smiled "Now remember, everything here, is a true story."

Then he began to play.

(Soon As You Can, Dierks Bentley)

I left that sun sinkin' west in California

I was supposed to say in LA a few more weeks

But the next time that old sun and I meet up

I'll be a thousand miles east

Fifty dollars and a gas card in my pocket

That I'm thinkin' might already be maxed out

That's just one of those little crazy things

I really didn't stop to think about

'Cause when a man wants to be with a woman

There ain't no way of gettin' there too fast

When you know who you wanna spend

The rest of your life with you wanna start

The rest of your life

As soon as you can

That state trooper let me off with just a warnin'

And a promise that I'd try to slow her down

Man that promise was forgotten

By the time I'd gotten two miles out of town

'Cause when a man wants to be with a woman

There ain't no way of gettin' there too fast

When you know who you wanna spend

The rest of your life with you wanna start

The rest of your life

As soon as you can

Don't know how much a truck can handle

But the closer that I get I keep pushin' it

'Cause when a man wants to be with a woman

There ain't no way of gettin' there too fast

When you know who you wanna spend

The rest of your life with you wanna start

The rest of your life

You can't wait to start the rest of your life

As soon as you can

(As soon as you can)

(As soon as you can)

.....................................

After the song was over, Tommy turned to see Jude holding back laughter, and he smirked "Well that's not really the reaction I was looking for."

Jude shook her head "No, I'm sorry, just, all that really happened? I mean the money and the state trooper and everything?"

Tommy smiled and nodded "Yeah, I got pulled over, but the guys sister was a BoyzAttack fan, and if I signed something for her, he said he would let me off with a warning.

Then I found out that not only do I not know how much is on the gas card that I have, but I also only have fifty dollars and not credit cards or anything." He chuckled "I'm broke."

Jude laughed "If you don't have any money, where were you planning to stay tonight?"

Tommy smiled "Well you see, there's this girl." He said with a shrug "And well, I kind of love her, and I was hopping I would be able to crash with her tonight."

Jude nodded, pretending to thing about it "Alright, what about getting home, how are you going to pay for gas?"

Tommy held up his hand "Ahh yes, see that's where this girl comes in again, see she's not from here, and she came by plan, so I think I can get her to come back with me and help with that."

Jude laughed "Man, your girlfriend sounds great."

Tommy smiled when she said girlfriend "She is, but you know, I only go for the best."

She laughed again "Alright where's your stuff, you did bring cloths right?" Tommy nodded and she chuckled "Well if you're staying with me, you might as well go and get it, then you can tell me about your trip here, sounds like it was a good one."

------

After Tommy told her all about his night, they lay together for awhile again. Jude turned to him, to tell him something, and saw that he was asleep, she smiled and places a soft kiss on his forehead, then pulled the covers over them, and went to sleep with him.

------

A few hours later, Tommy woke up, and smiled at the beautiful girl in his arms. He leaned his head down, and kissed her hair.

She stirred and opened her eyes, smiling at him "Hey, did you have a nice nap?"

Tommy nodded "Yeah, but I liked waking up better."

Jude smiled and leaned up and kissed him, and her stomach growled, causing them both to laugh "Do you want to get some dinner?" Tommy asked with a smile.

Jude nodded and they both got up, and got ready to leave.

--

They found a little diner, and went in and sat by a window, and looked at a menu that was sitting on the table.

They had just figured out what they wanted, when a waitress came over and Jude guessed her to be late sixty's or early seventy's.

The waitress smiled at them "Hello, my name is Emma, what can I help you two with tonight?"

Jude looked at Tommy and he motioned for her to go first, and Emma smiled "This your husband?"

Jude smiled "No, he's not my husband" Then she smiled at Tommy "We're just friends."

Emma chuckled when she saw Tommy playfully glare at Jude, then she looked back to Jude "Does he know that?"

They all chuckled and Emma looked at Tommy "Well young man, you better step in and do something about that, before she goes and gets herself married to another fellow."

This caused Jude and Tommy to laugh "Did I say something funny?" Emma asked them.

Tommy nodded "You see, we were together for awhile, then we broke up, and then she was actually engaged to another guy until yesterday" He said then looked at Jude "But I couldn't let that go on, so I had to come and tell her I still loved her."

Emma smiled "Well I guess it all worked out for you two huh? Not so much for other fellow though."

Tommy shrugged and looked to Jude again "Sometime you just can't help who you love."

Emma smiled "You know, this sounds just like what happened with my husband and I, we were together for about a year, and then we were apart for another year almost, but he didn't give up until I took him back, then it took him so long to pop the question, I thought he never would, I was almost ready to leave when he finely did it, and now we've been together for fifty-two years this November."

She looked like she was remembering, when she smiled "It was hard in the beginning of our relationship, he's six yeas older than I am, we met right after I turned sixteen, and had to wait until I was eighteen to be together. I was twenty-five by the time we got married."

She looked at Jude and smiled "Now that was a hard thing to do." She said with a chuckle.

Jude looked at Tommy and he chuckled, Emma looked between them and frowned slightly "What's funny this time?"

Jude turned back to her "It's weird, He's seven years older than me, and we met when I was fifteen and had to wait until I was eighteen, so believe me when I say, I know exactly how you felt."

Emma smiled "Jude don't you let him be like my Lucas" She looked at Tommy "You ask before she's ready to leave."

Tommy nodded "Don't worry about that."

Jude smiled and grabbed his hand that laid on the table top, then looked at Emma "He would have to wait a long time to do that, right now, I just want to be with him, just think about us, a wedding can wait." Then she turned to Tommy "For awhile." She said and smirked.

Emma chuckled and got their orders, and returned a few minutes later with them.

She set the plats down and looked at Jude "You're Jude Harrison aren't you?"

Jude nodded and smiled "Yeah I am, how did you know?" She asked, thinking at Emma wasn't part of her normal fan base.

Emma smiled "There's a TV in the back, and I saw you on it, singing one of your songs." She turned to Tommy "Then you must be Tom Quincy right?" Tommy nodded, and she smiled again "My granddaughter loves you two, she calls you Jommy, she'll be so happy to know you're back together."

Jude and Tommy both smiled at her, then she opened her month in a slight gasp "Would you two do my a big favor?" Could you sign a napkin for her, she would love it?"

Jude nodded and reached for a napkin "Sure, what's her name?"

Emma smiled "Amy, this will make me the coolest Grandma around."

Jude and Tommy both signed it, then handed it to her, and she smiled "Now you two enjoy your meal."

Then she walked away, leaving them to enjoy their food and each other.

--

After they finished their food, they walked back to the hotel, hand in hand, while Jude thought about Emma "She was a nice lady wasn't she?"

Tommy nodded absentmindedly "Mmhmm."

Jude looked at him "And her story is so close to ours, that's a little weird isn't it?"

Tommy nodded without saying anything, and Jude laughed "Well you're pretty chatty tonight."

Tommy looked at her then "Sorry, just thinking."

Jude smiled "About what?"

What she said about popping the question "Nothing important, I'm just kind of tired still, I didn't sleep last night."

Jude chuckled "Well then, let's get back to the hotel, and get you to bed Mr. Quincy, we have a long drive ahead of us tomorrow."

--

They got back to the hotel and crawled into bed, where Tommy wrapped his arm around Jude "Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" He asked as he pulled her closer.

Jude nodded "Yes, but I never get tired of hearing it, just so you know." She answered with a chuckle.

Tommy leaned his head down and kissed "I'll remember that, I love you."

Jude smiled, thinking that she hadn't smiled so much in one day before, and kissed him "I love you to.

Tommy smiled "And just s you know, I never get tired of hearing that."

Jude nodded "I'll remember that."

She laid her head back on the pillow and Tommy pulled her closer still, wanting her as close as he could get her, and that's how he fell asleep.

Jude on the other hand, couldn't sleep, she had slept the night before, and then had taken a nap, and right then, she wanted to write.

So after waiting for Tommy to fall asleep, she made sure not to wake him, and got out of bed.

She pulled a chair over by the bed, where she could see him while she wrote and got out her journal and a pen.

The words poured from her pen like water, and when she was done, she got back into the bed, and smiled when he wrapped his arm around her again.
