Chapter 13

Several hours later, the party was wrapped up. The guests had left and slowly, everyone else had filed out of the room, after wishing Jude a happy birthday. Everyone was now out of the building, everyone but Tommy, Jude and Dog, the janitor of G Major Records.

Tommy and Jude attempted to help the older man clean up the place, but he shoed them away and shoved at them with the end of the broom to make sure they left the room. Once in the entryway, Tommy and Jude kissed once again. Once they broke apart, Jude smiled up at Tommy and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I think this was the best birthday ever." Jude said, laying her head on his shoulder and inhaling his scent. Tommy's arms circled her waist. He didn't say anything, just kissed the top of his head and they stood together for a moment, perfectly content. Jude pulled back and stared back at him with a smile.

"What?"

"This is where I was standing when we first met." Jude said, smiling back at him. Tommy frowned and glanced up at the balcony.

"Sorry I was a jerk." Tommy stated, his eyes looking apologetic.

"You turned out to be right, about the song, about me…" Tommy grinned at her and kissed her. When they pulled back, he smiled smugly at her.

"Of course I was right…" Jude hit him lightly on the arm and Tommy feigned pain.

"You know, if I hit you as much as you hit me, I'd be in jail." Tommy stated, looking annoyed. Jude smiled.

"I know." She paused and her smile got bigger. "Isn't it great?" Tommy's eyes darkened for a moment, and an idea sparked in his head. He smiled evilly at Jude and began tickling her mercilessly on the sides. Jude squirmed and tried to get away from him, but Tommy was too quick for her. Tommy couldn't help but laugh at Jude as her face turned a deep red, almost the color of her hair, and her sweet laugh was broken up by small gasps for air. "Stop" She said, not very forcibly.

"Say please…" Tommy said, not stopping. Jude didn't say anything and he continued his torture.

"Ok, ok…" Jude breathed and said "stop, please…" and Tommy dropped his hands and Jude stood hunched over, trying to catch her breath. The couple stood, staring at each other for a moment. Jude caught her breath and straightened herself. "That was cruel…" Jude said, glaring at him. Tommy just shrugged and he stepped closer to her and took her hands in his.

"Jude"

"Uh-ho." Tommy glared at her. "Sorry," She muttered, realizing he was being serious.

"You know I love you, right?" He asked her and Jude nodded.

"I love you too." She said, smiling fondly at him. Tommy fidgeted slightly, feeling nervousness creep up on him. Jude noticed it and watched him closely.

"I know it took me awhile to be ok with our relationship, and I'm sorry for making you wait"

"It was worth it…" Jude insisted, moving her hands and running them up his chest. Tommy shivered and closed his eyes, relishing in the feel of her hands on his chest.

"I'm glad you think so," Tommy said, opening his eyes, and placed a hand on her lips, "Don't interrupt? Ok?" He said, and she nodded, realizing something was about to come, something big and she wasn't all too sure she was going to like it. "I realize now, that I loved you from the first time I saw you…girl, you're amazing; the most amazing girl I've ever met. You have the voice of an angel, play the guitar like a devil, and you're an amazing songwriter," Tommy said, and noticed tears welling up in Jude's eyes. No one had ever said those things to her and coming from him…it made her want to cry. "But you're more than that too. At 15, you blew everyone away; you handled everything that was thrown at you better than most who've been in the business for nearly a decade, myself included. You succeeded in not selling your soul the devil and you did things your way or no way…" He smiled remembering some of their fights. "And despite all our odds, here we are, together." Tommy said, smiling at her this time, his eyes loving and hers tearing from the words he just said. "And I don't want to be apart from you again…even when I didn't remember you, I did." Jude looked confused. "Whenever we were together, it felt so right…it still feels right and I don't know if I could go on with my life without you…" Tommy said, and knelt down on one knee. Jude stared down at her, shock and disbelief coming onto her face. Was he….Is he? She couldn't bring herself to finish the thought. Tommy reached in his pocket and held out a small velvet box to her and Jude had to choke back a sob of happiness. "Jude Harrison, will you marry me?" He asked.

Jude was shocked. He wanted her. Jude Harrison, the punk girl, the feisty bottled-red-head who took no nonsense from anyone. She couldn't bring herself to answer. She was screaming yes inside, but she couldn't get her vocal cords to work for the first time in her life.

"This is the part where you say, hopefully, yes…" Tommy said, looking weary. Jude grabbed his jacket lapels and pulled him up to her. She didn't say anything, but she kissed him with as much passion as she could. The kiss was short, but it left both of them breathless. "So…is that a yes?" Tommy asked, feeling slightly confused. Jude smiled at him and pulled his head down to hers and kissed him again, throwing her arms around his neck. Once the kiss ended, they stayed in their embrace, foreheads resting together, staring directly into each other's eyes. They didn't say anything, just stared happily at each other until Jude began to cry. Tommy watched her a moment, and wiped the tears streaming out of her eyes.

"Yes," She said, smiling brightly between her tears. Tommy smiled back at her and he slipped the simple diamond ring on her finger. Jude stared at it a moment and kissed him once more, never wanting to forget this moment.
