"Look Jude, I think I can explain why we are here." Tom easily took control of the situation. "We were curious of the relationship between you and Jimmy, but we didn't want to pry."

"You guys are crazy! I would appreciate if everybody left right now." Judy said fuming.

"No Judy, we didn't mean it like that. It's just…"

Judy interrupted Doug and told everyone to get out of her apartment. Ioki and Doug began walking towards the door. Tom just looked at her.

"Jude, I really didn't mean to hurt you."

"Especially you, Tom. Please just go."

As they walked out of her building, they all felt ashamed of their actions. They couldn't believe that jealousy hurt such a good friend.

"Do you guys want to go get some coffee?" Doug asked.

"Not me. I think I should just go home." Ioki muttered. "I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"And you Tom?"

"I might as well. I won't be sleeping tonight anyway."

In the diner

"I can't believe how stupid I am." Tom said as he took another sip of his coffee.

"It's ok man. She will realize that we meant no harm and it will all be over tomorrow." Doug said trying to be comforting.

"No, Dougie, It's worse than that."

"What do you mean worse?" By this time Doug was very confused on where Tom was going with this.

"I tried to kiss her."

"What did you do that for? She has a boyfriend you know!" exclaimed Doug.

"Oh, keep your voice down. Don't you think I realize that? Now I don't know what to do about it. What would you do Doug?"

"I definitely wouldn't say anything to her for the next couple of…years."

"That doesn't help. I can't stay away from her forever. We do work together you know."

Tom and Doug just looked at each other unsure of what do about the situation.

Doug took a sip of his coffee and said "Don't' worry little buddy. We'll just see what this week brings."

Friday afternoon at the chapel

After a week of Judy being overly dry with her comments and actions, everybody was ready for the weekend to come. Judy grabbed her bag and her jacket and jetted towards the door. Hanson, Ioki and Penhall just looked at her walk away. Penhall decided to do the next best thing, go after her.

"Judy, are you ok?"

"Actually no I'm not. I'm still upset with the bullshit you guys pulled Monday night."

"Please don't be angry with us." Penhall said as he reached out for her hands. "We just worry about you and we didn't know how to approach you about it."

Doug shot her his cute smile and it worked. She couldn't be mad at her boys any longer. Then Doug and Judy hugged.

"What are you doing tonight?" he asked

"Well, Jimmy is out of town, so I probably will relax in front of the television in sweatpants and an old shirt." she replied.

"Well do you want some company? We can swing by the video store, grab a couple of hamburgers and you can sample my world-famous margaritas."

"Sure, why not. What time would you like to come over?"

"Let me grab my jacket and I'll be right with ya."

Doug ran back upstairs to grab his jacket.

"Where ya going Flash?" Tom asked.

"Gentlemen, I have a date with the beautiful Judith Hoffs and I don't plan on being late, so see ya." Then Doug dashed out of the door.

Tom and Ioki just looked at each other. Tom with anger and Ioki with bewilderment.

MORE TO COME!
