Chapter 3
Three Days Later
"This place is awesome!" Sadie explained. Tommy smiled at her enthusiasm. "You always know the best places to go for dinner!" Sadie said, grinning happily at him. Tommy just shrugged. He had found yet another small, yet romantic atmosphere restaurant in Italy. He had to admit, the place was very nice, and it was just what a couple in love needed. If only he could get his thoughts off of a certain someone…Before the waiter even came over to take their order, Tommy's cell phone rang.
"Sorry," He said to Sadie, taking it out and glancing at the screen. He frowned when he noticed the number, and flipped his phone open and answered. "Quincy." He glanced apologetically at Sadie and stepped hurriedly through the restaurant to somewhere slightly more private.
"Tom, good to hear you're well."
"Darius, not to be rude, but what do you want?"
"Your ass on the next plane to Toronto. You have work to do."
"Excuse me?" Tommy demanded, wondering where it was Darius's place to decide what he did and didn't do. "Uh, Darius, last time I checked, Shay's album was done, and Georgia's my boss, and I'm also free-lance. I don't have anything to do back at G Major right now."
"Georgia was your boss." Darius stressed. "G Major is mine now, and I want to re-negotiate a contract."
"Dar, can't this wait, I'm kind of..."
"I know you're out of the country Quincy, and I don't care. You tell you're pretty little girlfriend there's a new boss in town." Darius said, and paused a moment. Tommy clenched his jaw, not wanting to give into Darius's demands. "Oh, and Tom? If you don't come back on the next flight…I wonder how Jude would take it if she had a new producer…"
"You wouldn't" Tommy growled, knowing fairly well Darius only signed Jude because of their work together.
"Hmm, would I? I guess that's the question." Darius said, sounding smug. "Do you really want to gamble Tom?" He added and a resounding click told Tommy all he needed to know. Tommy let out a frustrated groan and pocketed his phone. He stood out in the alleyway, steaming a moment. He turned and kicked a dumpster. He seethed inside. He didn't want to jump at Darius's command, but he knew he had to watch out for Jude. Darius could easily chew her up and spit her out, and he didn't want to see that happen to her.
Tommy let out a defeated sigh and turned back to the restaurant. It was time to face Sadie, and Tommy didn't know for a second who would be worst to face, Darius or the wrath of Sadie Harrison.
