When I told Darius that I wanted to record "Let Me Fall", He was surprised.
But, he told me "If it's okay with Jude, It's okay with me."
Asking Jude was the part I wanted to skip.
She would be so pissed,
Wont let me record it,
Throw some stuff,
Yell,
Scream,
Throw some more stuff,
and god knows what else.
I walked up to her the next day.
"Hey." I said causually.
She looked up from her coffee mug.
"Hey." She replied.
"Why are you drinking coffee?" I asked, looking at her belly (which is growing larger and rounder.)
"Cause." She replied.
"That's bad for the baby." I told her.
"It's de-caf, Quincy." Jude rolled her eyes and took another sip.
"Oh, that's good."
"Yeah."
"So, I wanna ask you something."
"No, you can't move back in."
"It's not that." I told Jude.
"What?" She asked, slightly annoyed.
"Rememeber when we wrote "Let Me Fall."?" I asked.
She nodded.
"We had both made a mistake."
She looked down.
"You had kissed me and I told you that you were just a kid."
She pursed her lips.
"What I said was a mistake, what you did wasn't so smart." I told her.
"I know." She finally said.
"But, we found that we make great music together." I relpied.
"We still do." Jude agreed.
"So, I was thinking... If I record "Let me fall" to show you my mistake, it would help, maybe."
"I don't care if you wanna record it, Quincy. Have at it."
"That's not all I wanna ask, Jude."
Jude looked up.
"What then?" She asked.
"We could be each others producer. You would produce me and I would produce you. We could co-produce both albums." I smiled.
Jude tried to hide a smile.
"Tom Quincy," Jude look at me and stood up.
I stood up, "Hmmm?"
"I don't know why you do what you do, but, I forgive you." Jude smiled.
I smiled wide.
"Really? Where does that leave us?" I asked.
"Right now... Friends. But, give me time. I still love you." Jude stated.
I hugged her, "Jude, you know I love you too."
