The next morning Jude was again awoken by the telephone.
"Hey" Jude had a feeling it was Speed.
"Get to the studio now!" Speed was whispering.
"Why what's going on?"
"Just get here now." Jude made it to the studio.
"Hey what's up?" She asked Speed when she found him.
"You almost lost your job that's how late you are."
"And why exactly do care?" Jude was aggravated now.
"I need to talk to you... alone." Speed looked at her urgently.
"Okay let's talk Speed, what's wrong?"
"I um wanted to tell you something." Tommy sees them talking and cuts him off.
"Jude you need to finish your album."
"Hold on can't you see that I'm talking to my boyfriend?"
"Now means now Jude." Tommy said angrily.
"We'll talk later okay? Bye." She gave him a quick kiss and left.
"God Tommy that was the meanest you've ever been to anyone!"
"Just go into the studio so we can finish."
"But why were you so mean to me and Speed?"
"Jude, why don't you just get over yourself?" Tommy blurted out.
"What are you talking about Tommy? Jeez, is it that time of month already?" Jude asked, trying to lighten things up a bit.
"Look," Tommy told her, "You and Speed work together, okay? It's not a good idea for you two to go out. I mean, all he's going to do is kiss you, and be with you for a little while. Then he'll break your heart, and you are going to have to see him every day, and you'll be reminded of that."
"You're one to talk."
"And just what is that supposed to mean, Jude? If you want to say something, just go ahead and say it." Tommy told her.
"Okay," Jude shot back; "I don't think someone who has been stringing my sister along for months is one to talk. You break up with her and get back together almost every other week. Just because you're flaky doesn't mean that every other guy is like you." she finished as she went into the recording booth. "I'm ready to record," she told him as she sat down. He sighed and sat back in his chair as he started recording Jude's singing. Jude finished her song and was given the rest of the day off. She set off on a search for Speed. She found him in the band room alone.
"Hey." Jude said.
"What's up?" he said this while giving her a smile.
"I got the rest of the day off. Want to go do something?"
"Sure. Like what?" he asked.
"Well, I'm starving; lets go get something to eat."
"Okay." He put down his guitar and took her hand. Ten minutes later they're sitting in a diner in a corner booth. They had ordered their food and were sitting and eating in silence. Speed was the first to break the silence.
"So...how did the recording go?" Jude jumped a little.
"It was the same as usual. How did setting up go? Did the guys come and help?"
"No they haven't gotten to G-Major yet. Hopefully they'll be there when we get back."
"Well, instead of going back to the studio, since I have a day off, why don't you spend it with me? It'll be Georgia's fault for giving me the day off AND putting me in charge of you guys."
"You're crazy," he smiles mischievously, "But yeah let's do it."
"Why do I have a bad feeling that you're going to do something crazy?"
"That's for me to know and you to wonder about." After they paid the bill, Speed grabbed Jude's hand and they left. Jude looked at Speed who was staring straight ahead. He had this evil look on his face that gave Jude a shiver down his spine. They got to Speed's house and no one was home. They climbed the stairs to his room and Speed closed the door. He turned to Jude. Jude looked at speed trying to figure out what he was trying to do.
"Speed..."
"What?"
"What do you plan on doing?"
"Just this," He kissed Jude lightly, but tenderly and Jude kissed him back but, with more passion, making the kiss heavier and with out breaking the kiss. Jude than took her jacket off and went for Speed's. He walked backwards towards his bed, but pulling Jude with him, he goes to sit down on the edge of the bed while Jude sits on top of him, with her legs spread, and on both sides of him. Speed started going back, now lying down with Jude on top of him. Then Speed rolled over, now he was on top of Jude. Jude looked into Speed's eyes and saw her whole life with him in there, then out of Speed's mouth came this.
"Jude, I love you. But I don't know how you feel about me." Jude doesn't say anything she just pulled him into a deep passionate kiss.
"I'll take that as a yes."
"You'd better. Now come here." Jude pulled Speed down on her and kissed him hard but than Speed pulled away.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked her.
"Yes, of course I do. I love you so much. I realize that now." Speed smiled and kissed her. Jude rolls back on top of him and straddled her legs on either side of him. She pulled her shirt off and tried to take Speed's off. A minute later she succeeds in removing his shirt and they both sit there making out on his bed, both half naked. Speed unbuttons her pants and starts to pull them down...
