YAY! A new chapter FINALLY! Sorry for the wait. Things have been hectic between finishing up school and work. Mostly work, I have had the craziest schedules. Hopefully I can update more once I get a normal schedule. As always, thanks to my reviewers, you guys rock.

Chapter 36

"Are you ok?" I asked Jude as I sat her down in my bathroom. It had taken me twenty minutes to get her in the house and upstairs once her sick spell passed.

"Yessirree!" Jude giggled as she lightly touched her forehead.

"How much did you drink?" I asked her as I made sure she was comfortable.

"Too much." Jude replied wrinkling her nose.

"Apparently, now arms up." I said as I kneeled down beside her.

"Up arms!" Jude giggled as I pulled off her sweatshirt taking the tank with it. The first step to cleaning her up was getting rid of the sweatshirt. Soon as her sweatshirt was off, she started tugging at my shirt. I tried to pull her hair back to keep it out of her face, but she was refusing to let me touch her until my shirt joined her sweatshirt.

"Ok, sit here while I get a washcloth." I told her once I got her hair pulled back.

The whole time I ran the washcloth over her face she kept staring at me with this dreamy look on her face. Once I had set the washcloth down she pulled herself closer to me.

"You are pretty." Jude said to me.

"And so are you." I replied as I stood up. Apparently Jude did not like that, she started pulling on my jeans. "What?"

"Off." Jude commanded.

"What?" I asked a little shocked.

"Off, all of it. I want it all off." Jude instructed.

"Why?" I asked staring at her.

"Because you are purrrr-retty." Jude replied with an evil smile.

"Honey, you don't even know what you are saying." I said as I kneeled down beside her.

"I do, and I want you." Jude replied as she tried to kiss me.

"Hold up, no kisses until you have brushed your teeth…twice. I promise." I said standing back up.

I left Jude alone to go get her toothbrush. When I came back we brushed our teeth together. The whole time she wrapped one arm around me and rested her head against my chest. Ever twenty seconds she would mumble something. What? I don't know, I just smiled causing her to smile back. Once we were done I took her to her room.

"Jude, take these." I said as I handed her two aspirin and water once she was sitting on her bed.

"Why?" Jude said giggling.

"You will thank me later." I said as I searched for her pajamas.

"All gonnnne." Jude said once she took them.

"Ok, change into these and I will be right back." I told her as I started to leave.

"Vinnie!" Jude shouted causing me to turn around quickly.

"What?" I asked hoping she wasn't loud enough to wake my grandma.

She looked at me trying to make a sad face as she tapped her lips. Her kiss, I had not given her a kiss like I said I would if she brushed her teeth twice. I walked over to her and gave her a kiss causing her to smile, a lot, and pull me down onto the bed with her.

"You kiss pretty too." Jude said giggling as I got up five minutes later.

"I will be back." I said I walked out.

I kiss pretty? Can you kiss pretty? Can pretty even describe a kiss?

When I came back in from changing into my pajamas, she lying on her stomach with her head hung over the side of the bed singing Who Am I Fooling, why I don't know, but she was drunk.

"We are going out to the boat, put on your robe." I told her as I handed it to her.

"Let's gooooooooooooooooooo." Jude said once it was halfway on.

I lead Jude to the boat; she refused to let me carry her once we got outside. When we walked out, I could still see Aaron and Tessa outside, Callie must have gone in.

"Vincent, Red, I am sorry about that." Aaron said walking over, he was still icing his face. That made me feel good.

"Just don't bother, what were you going to do with her? Take advantage of her while she was drunk? Wait, you were. You were trying to undress her when I came in. She is not that type of girl." I said as I kept a tight grip on Jude's arm, last thing I needed was her ending up in the harbor.

"I don't know, I was just livening the party?" Aaron said.

"I don't care, the right thing to do would have been to tell her what she was drinking. Good night." I said as I picked Jude and got on the boat with her.

It took me five minutes to get Jude in bed. Once in bed, she climbed on top of me and started to kiss my neck working her way to my chest. I had forgotten my shirt in the house. Shirts are so overrated and Jude thinks I am purrrr-retty without it.

"Speed…I…need…you…now…" Jude said in between kisses.

"Jude you are drunk." I told her as I pushed her off. Don't get me wrong, I would very much want to be with her like that, but she was drunk and it would be wrong to take advantage of her. Especially after what went on earlier tonight.

"So…what?" Jude asked still kissing my neck. At least she admitted to being drunk.

"It would be wrong." I said.

"No it wouldn't…I know what I am doing." Jude said as she sat up and took off her shirt.

"No you don't." I said as I picked up her shirt. By the time I got back in bed, she had passed out. That was quick and unexpected. I sat her up gently and put her shirt back on her, kissed her forehead and went to sleep.

I woke up the next morning to Jude writing her name with her finger on my stomach.

"Hey Jude." I sang as she punched me lightly.

"Good morning." She replied.

"Feeling ok?" I asked her.

"A little bit of a headache, why?"

"Do you remember last night?"

"Speed, what happened?" Jude asked after a minute with a terrified expression on her face

"Aaron got you drunk on Sprite and vodka, he took you to his room alone. I figured it out, I punched him, you kissed me, I took you home and cleaned you up, you changed while singing Who Am I Fooling, and then tried to get me to sleep with you."

"I did all that?"

"Yes."

"And I tried to sleep with you?"

"Yes, but I said no, I knew you were drunk and wouldn't remember much and maybe regret it. I couldn't take advantage of you like that Jude."

"So you do care!" Jude screamed as he hugged me tightly.

"Yes, I do care." I replied as I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Enough to make me 'j' shaped pancakes?" She said holding her head.

"Only if you make me 'v' shaped ones with chocolate chips."

"Why are we laying here then?" Jude asked as she rolled out of bed.

"Hold it." I said pulling her back to me. It was my turn to get a kiss.

"Right." Jude replied smiling as she gave me a kiss.

Jude and I went inside and made breakfast. We then went outside and sat on the porch eating when we got a visitor.

"Hey, I am sorry about my brother last night, he isn't the brightest." Callie said as she walked up.

"Well, I am not forgiving him." I said.

"Ok, but would you guys like to go swimming with us around three?" Callie asked.

"We will think about it." Jude replied rather quickly.

"Thanks, hopefully we will see you." Callie said as she walked away.

"Seriously dude?" I asked.

"We will see, I really want to go swimming." Jude replied as she picked at her pancakes.

"It is totally up to you, we could always go swimming in the lake. I promise I won't get mad."

"Really?"

"Up to you dude."

"We can go with them as long as you don't let Aaron touch me or come near me." Jude said as she got up.

"Deal." I replied as I kicked her in the butt and made her laugh.

Jude and I got dressed and headed to lunch. Of course with our luck, we had to run into Tessa and Callie at the restaurant with two guys thankfully.

"Hey Vincent!" Callie yelled at us.

"Hey girls." I said as Jude and I walked over to say hi.

"Vincent, these are our friends Tyler and Jason. Guys, this is Vincent, his grandparents are neighbors with mine. You know, the ones I practically live with. Oh, and his friend Red." Callie said giving Jude and evil glare.

"Aren't you Jude…" Tyler was saying.

"NO!" Jude yelled quickly.

"You didn't even let me finish." Tyler said.

"I knew what you were going to say, I get it a lot and it is annoying." Jude said nervously, smooth dude, real smooth.

"Ok, sorry." Tyler said confused.

"Well, we are going to go eat; we will see you at three at the pool." I said as Jude and I walked away.

"I swear she is Jude Harrison and that is her guitarist." I heard Tyler say as we walked away.

"Smooth dude, you were so obvious and he knows." I said to Jude when we sat down.

Boring somewhat? I know, but be sure to review if you want a surprise in the next chapter. I bet no one can guess it, and if you perhaps do, I will give you something special. A spoiler possibly? Now REVIEW AWAY!!
