A/N: Sorry it took so long to post this chapter, but I couldn't think of how to do the end.

Chapter 2: Dream On

Tommy got home at around 12:00 that night. Normally, Jude would have been asleep, but that night she had waited for him to get home. She was sitting at the kitchen table thinking about how she was going to convince him to let Zoe sign with his company. She had a plan. "Hey, girl," Tommy said as he walked inside. "I expected you to be asleep. Is something up?" Jude took a deep breath.

"Actually, yes. You know how you have that show coming up?"

"Yeah. What about it? You can do the show, right?"

"Of course." She got up and moved closer to him. "But I was just thinking, maybe you could feature a new artist."

"Hmm. Who did you have in mind?" She came closer and put her arms around his shoulders.

"Maybe you've heard of her. She's pretty good." She continued to move closer to him. She knew he couldn't think strait when they were that close, so she decided to use it to her advantage. He was beginning to lose it. Damn, he thought. Why does she have to do this?

"Who?" Jude closed her eyes. Here we go.

"A girl named Zoe Martin." Tommy's eyes widened and he backed away from Jude.

"Whoa. You mean one of Shay-Shay's performers?" She nodded. "No way, Jude. There is no way i'm gonna sign her to my record label." Jude pouted.

"You didn't even hear her. She's really good. Besides, you did the same thing when you were younger." Tommy sighed.

"Yeah, and remember how that turned out?"

"Ok, bad example. But she's different." She started moving back towards him. "Trust me." Before he could protest any further, she threw her arms around him and kissed him. Mmm. Wait a minute. Tommy pulled away.

"Stop!"

"Stop what?" Jude asked innocently.

"That! Trying to seduce me so i'll agree to sign that girl to my label." Jude scoffed.

"Fine. I give up. You're obviously too stubborn to admit that someone might do better than you if they try going solo." She sat back down, paying no attenion to the offended look on Tommy's face.

"That is not what this is about and you know it." She looked up at him.

"Is it? Admit it, Tommy. You're scared that the girl might actually sell." He went over to her and sat down next to her.

"That's not true."

"Prove it." Tommy was shocked.

"What?"

"You heard me. Prove it."

"How?"

"Put her in the show." He frowned. "Just to see how it goes. Then I promise unless you decide you want to sign her you'll never have anything to do with her or Shay again." He considered it for a minute, then shook his head.

"I can't." Jude rolled her eyes. I didn't think it would come to this, but he leaves me no choice, she thought. She slowly dropped the bottom of her robe, exposing her bare thighs just when Tommy was looking down. "I, uh, damn it." He let out a frustrated sigh. "Come here." He pulled her into him and kissed her hard. She laughed happily as she got up and ran up the stairs towards the bedroom. He chased her. He caught up with her and continued kissing her. She pulled away. "What's wrong?" She grinned.

"Nothing."

"Well then, why did you pull away?"

"Because i'm supposed to be mad at you, that's why." He frowned and went up to her.

"If I agree will you stop this?" She nodded.

"Of course."

"Fine. I'll put her in my show." Jude smiled.

"Yes!"

"But, it's just to see how it goes. I'm not making any promises."
