A/N: Ok, a couple things to say before I start. First, I'm sooo sorry it took so long for me to update, and next, for those of you who are wondering what Tommy and Jude did… you'll just have to wait and see.

Disclaimer: Again, I have a pretty long list. I do not own IS, The Breakfast Club, Rock and Roll High School, Permanent Record, or Pretty In Pink.

Chapter 3: Waste My Time

The two sat in a comfortable silence, both stealing glances at each other as they ate. After a while, Jude began to become aware of the time—and how they both had to be at work. Regretfully, she stood up, getting ready to clean up, when Tommy's voice halted her. "Girl, what are you doing?" She looked back at him, shrugging.

"Cleaning up. After all, we do have-"

"Work?" He finished for her. "No, we don't. After your disaster of a Sixteenth birthday last night, Georgia decided to give us both the day off," He explained, getting up and wrapping his arms around her tiny waist. "Looks like you're stuck with me for the day," He whispered in her ear. Rolling her eyes, Jude stepped away from him to put her plate in the sink.

"I think I can deal," She told him over her shoulder. "Wanna watch a movie?" Tommy shrugged.

"Sure, but I think I'm gonna take a shower first," he said with a devilish grin. "You're welcome to join me, if you want…" Jude once again rolled her eyes.

"I don't think so Quincy. I'm gonna go find a movie." Tommy sighed.

"If you say so…" he said as he walked off. Jude let out a small chuckle as she turned her attention to Tommy's entertainment center, looking through his collection. Wow, she thought to herself as she went through the titles. The Breakfast Club, Rock And Roll High School, Permanent Record… Who knew Quincy was so into the classics? Smiling, she picked Pretty In Pink out of the collection, put it down on the coffee table, then sat down to wait for Tommy to get out of the shower. Suddenly, she heard a ringing coming from Tommy's bedroom, and remembered that she had left her cell phone on. She got up from the couch and walked over to it, picking it up and looking at the screen. It was a call from her mom. Oh, god, she though. I totally forgot about mom. What am I gonna tell her? That I spent the night at Tommy's? Right, 'cuz she's gonna flip when she finds that out... Letting out a deep breath, she finally answered the phone.

"Hey, mom," she answered quickly. She heard a loud sigh coming from the other end of the phone.

"Jude? Where have you been? Where are you? Are you alright?" Jude bit her lip.

"I'm fine, mom. Kat and Jamie took me out last night to make up for the whole thing with Shay, and I'm staying at Kat's house for the rest of today since Georgia gave me the day off. I'm sorry, I forgot to call and tell you."

"That's alright, honey. Just, try not to let it happen again. I'll see you later, ok?"

"Ok, mom. Bye." With that, Jude hung up, too focused on her excuse working to call Kat so she would go with it, and went back into the living room to wait for Tommy.
