Chapter 34
The next day Jude made her way to the small café where her and Kat had agreed to meet for lunch. She'd missed Kat the past week because she'd been so caught up in her own problems and Tommy's that she'd kind of forgotten all about Kat. She felt bad so she had decided that the girls needed to get together and chat, catch up.
Kat was already seated when Jude got there and she quickly came over and sat down. "Sorry I was late, Tommy kept me up late last night and I'm exhausted." She stated hurriedly. Kat laughed. "Oh yeah? I bet you are." She said with a sly smile. Jude looked over at her and started laughing. "Yeah, that didn't sound right. Let me try this again. "I was working on a song last night and Tommy wouldn't let me go to bed till I finished it." She said trying not to laugh. Kat just giggled. "Ok, better I guess."
The girls ate their lunch just chatting about random things until Kat reached over for her drink letting her hand wave in front of Jude's face purposely. Jude gasped and grabbed Kat's hand practically pulling the smaller woman across the table. "Oh my god, Oh my god, This is an engagement ring Kat!" Jude squealed. Kat just sat back and laughed. "Yep, it sure is, I was wondering if you were ever going to notice. I practically had to shove my finger in your eye." Kat said as though she were frustrated. Jude just laughed. She was still in shock.
"So when? How? Oh my gosh, Jamie. You and Jamie are getting married!" She let out on a high pitched squeal. Kat smiled evily. "Well we got engaged a few days ago but he didn't have the ring until yesterday, and yes Jamie and I are really getting married. I can hardly believe it myself." Kat said happily. She looked over at Jude who was still focused on her amazing engagement ring. "Oh yeah, I was kind of wondering if you'd you know, be my maid of honor?" Kat said nervously. Jude looked up at her with her eyes already tearing. "Oh of course Kat, I can't believe your getting married. How perfect!" She said as she threw her arms around her best friend again.
Later that night Jude was sitting in the small studio of Tommy's house writing down the last of the lyrics to the 6th song she'd written for her 3rd album when Tommy walked in. He noticed her getting ready to sing and he stood in the doorway as to not disturb her so he stood and watched and listened.
You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion
And you're movin' too fast
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in the moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we joked, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react
You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tides pullin' me in deeper
makin' it harder to breathe
We cannot deny, how we feel inside
We cannot deny
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in the moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we joked, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react
Kaleidoscope of colors
Turning hopes on fire, sun is burning
Shining down on both of us
Don't let us lose it (don't let us lose it...)
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in the moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we joked, yeah
We lived
We loved
We hurt
We joked
We're right
We're wrong
We're weak
We're strong
We lived to love
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
Watch the chemicals react
And just like that
The chemicals react
(The chemicals react)
"Not hearing your voice was the hardest thing about being away from you Jude." Came Tommy's quiet voice. Jude turned around slowly. Some how she'd known he was there before he'd said anything. Just a feeling, so she'd sang with everything she'd had. She wanted the message clear that the past didn't matter. Right, or wrong it was the past, it didn't matter. All that mattered was the present, what they did now.
"I'm sure you turned on a CD or two of mine Quincy." Jude stated with a small smile. Tommy walked into the studio and shut the door behind him. He sat in the chair next to Jude and turned it to face her. "It's not the same. I can't see your eyes when I listen to a CD, I can't see your facial expressions. It kind of defeats the purpose." He stated with a thoughtful look on his face.
All of a sudden Jude found it harder to breath. He leaned closer to her and she could feel her heartbeat quicken. She unconsciously leaned forward. They were merely a breath apart when she whispered, "Why does it defeat the purpose?" She asked quietly. He leaned forward a bit more. She could feel his hot breath tickling her lips as he spoke. "Because then I can't do this." He stated before crashing his lips to hers. Thoughts seemed to vanish as the sweet temptation she'd been able to avoid for so long crept through her body. This was simply Tommy. No one had ever made her heartbeat quicken and stop at the same time. Made her brain overload with millions of thoughts and none at all. Her whole being stopped and started when this mans lips melded themselves to hers.
Tommy groaned as he turned his head to the side and ran his hands through her curly thick mass of blonde hair. He gently ran his tongue along her lip asking for entry. She opened her mouth granting him access to deepen the kiss. Their tongues moved against each other, fighting, claiming possession.
Tommy heard the small moan Jude made as he gently nipped at her bottom lip. With much regret he was the one to pull back first. He leaned back and looked at Jude. Her eyes had clouded over with a dark cloudy film of lust and he felt a sense of pleasure in knowing that he'd had that much of an effect on her. It hadn't just been one way. "If we don't stop now Jude I might not be able to stop at all." He stated huskily.
Jude took a deep breath and walked towards Tommy. "Who said I wanted to stop at all?" She asked as she wrapped a hand behind his neck and pulled his lips down to hers.
