Tommy awoke to his alarm going off. He saw her lying next to him and for once in his life since leaving the band he was happy but he didn't like hiding his feelings from everyone. He wanted to shout from the roof-tops that he was in love with Jude Harrison.
He gently shook her awake watching her beautiful eyes flutter open. She smiled up at him as he got up from bed and walked into the kitchen to find something to have for breakfast. Then he remembered that he hadn't gone shopping yet so the fridge was empty.
"What's for breakfast?" She sat on the counter looking at Tommy's back as he rubbed his head thinking of what to do.
"It looks like we'll have to get something at the studio."
"Cool Georgia always takes care of me."
"What's that supposed to mean?" He said with mock anger.
"That Georgia cares more about my health than you do." She said jumping off the counter and getting up in his face in fake anger.
"Oh you wanna take this outside?" He swallowed hard to suppress his laugh.
"No you're not worth it." She turned and walked into the bathroom quietly slamming the door.
"You're so cute when you're angry."
"Who said I wasn't playing with you?"
"I knew you were, now hurry up I'm hungry."
"For that I'm gonna take forever." She smirked as shut the door again as Tommy searched for something clean to wear. He needed to go shopping and do his laundry.
"How have I lived like this for so long?" He thought to himself as he sorted through the dirty laundry on the floor.
"Please tell me that you're not going to wear that again?" Jude pointed to the shirt in his hand.
"What's wrong with it?"
"Tommy you've already worn twice this week."
"I only remember once."
"You wore it on Sunday and Wednesday."
"Oh."
"Yeah you should do your laundry more often."
"I've never done my laundry."
"Then wire someone to do it."
"That's a good idea because I don't feel like doing it." He walked into the bathroom leaving her to pick up his mess. He walked out of the bathroom in just a towel and saw a note on the bed.
Tommy:
Georgia called you need to get to the studio as soon as possible. Don't worry she called my phone not yours. She said we need to finish the new song today so she can hear it. I'll see you later, Jude.
He threw on whatever she put on the bed and walked out of his apartment making a metal note to go to the store after work. He reached into his pocket for his cell pressing and holding 6. The phone rang twice before she answered. "Hello?"
"Hey Ej, it's Tommy."
"Where are you? Georgia's been looking for you."
"I slept late but I need a favor."
"What is it this time?"
"Find and hire someone to be my housekeeper."
"What happened to the last one?"
"She quit after working two days."
"That was three months ago."
"Yeah so work your magic."
"Okay, I'll have someone for you by the end of the day."
"I don't want them to move in just come by every once in awhile."
"Okay." He ended the call and drove out the parking lot. He knew that he should have left earlier as he sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic. He had turned off the radio because it was playing an old boyz attack song and just hearing it made his stomach turn. When he finally reached G Major he was over an hour late. He slowly headed in ready to meet the wrath of Georgia.
"Finally, what took you so long?"
"Traffic."
"Try leaving earlier."
"I'll try."
"I thought about you wanting out of the Christa project and I know I already agreed to you stepping out but maybe you could just mix it at the end and Quest could help."
"Okay I'll mix the final product."
"Good now you and Jude have to finish that song." She patted him on the back as she headed into her office. Tommy smiled after she left at the mention of Jude's name.
Jude was sitting in the studio thinking about what Tommy had said to her before they kissed the night before. She hadn't said it to him and she was worried about what he was thinking she looked up as Tommy entered the room with Quest close in toe. They were recording her song today. She looked at Tommy as she sang into the mic.
You and me, all
alone
It's to late to say we didn't know
We shouldn't be, all
alone
One of us might lose control
All these feelings we've
been hiding
Deep down, yea they must start to show
Not here,
not now
Watching my frustrations grow
I know what I feel
and you feel it too
I dream of the first kiss and who'll make the
first move
Who's gonna put their heart on the line
It could be
me
It could be you, tonight
Show me, who you are
Stop me
before I go to far
Cuz it hurts, to hold back
So hold me or I
might crack
I'm gasoline, you're the match
I'm not sure if we
could handle that
It might explode, could be a mess
I say we
take the chance
I know what I feel and you feel it too
I
dream of the first kiss and who'll make the first move
Who's gonna
put their heart on the line
It could be me
It could be you,
tonight
I'm all mixed up, confused
I don't know what to
do
Cuz I want to, I'd love to
If I knew you'd want me to
If
your getting any closer then I'm gonna have to scream
I know
what I feel and you feel it too
I dream of the first kiss and
who'll make the first move
Who's gonna put their heart on the
line
It could be me
It could be you
I know what I feel
and you feel it too
I dream of the first kiss and who make the
first move
Who's gonna put their heart on the line
It could be
me
It could be you, tonight
She finished at looked at Tommy and mouthed, "I love you too." His smile grew as she put her headphones and the stool and went to hear her song.
