Jude opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She glanced over to see that Tommy was still fast asleep. She smiled at him. Quietly, she slipped out of bed and quickly changed out of her clothes from the day before. She slipped more comfortable clothes on before heading downstairs to get the mail.
Jude walked outside towards the mailbox, waving to her neighbors cheerfully. She grabbed the mail and headed back inside to make a hot pot of coffee. It was cold outside. She shivered her way to the door.
She started the pot of coffee and decided to go through her mail. As always there was bill after bill. Aggravated, Jude threw the mail on the table, turning to pour herself a cup of coffee. Noelle came running into the kitchen, her hair flying all over the place. Jude watched her with a laugh as she raced around the kitchen grabbing her books.
"Mom, have you seen my chemistry book?" She asked, stopping to stare at her mom. Jude chuckled.
"It's right in front of you on the table." Noelle sighed and grabbed the book, quickly stuffing it in her bookbag. She grabbed a poptart out of the cabinet and stared at her mom.
"Mom, are you feeling better today?" Jude looked up surprised. She nodded.
"Yeah, I just had a really stressful day at work yesterday." She brushed it off, not wanting to delve any deeper. Noelle nodded, somewhat skeptically.
"Okay, I've got to get to school. I don't want to miss my bus… again." Jude laughed and kissed her on the cheek.
"Okay, sweetie, bye have a good day." Noelle nodded.
"Tell Dad I said bye!" She walked out of the door. Jude picked up a discarded issue of Solid that was lying on the table. She flipped through, just seeing what it was that her daughter was reading exactly.
Tommy entered the kitchen, looking exhausted. He poured himself a cup of coffee.
"Did Noelle get to school okay?" Jude nodded.
"Yeah. Do have to be at the studio today?" Jude asked. Tommy shook his head.
"No not until about 5 or so, why?" Jude grinned.
"I was thinking that maybe you could go with me to run some errands." Tommy glanced at her, raising an eyebrow.
"I guess that depends on the errands." Jude smirked at him, getting up.
"Oh but see, if you go with me, they'll get done that much faster, leaving us more time for ourselves." She expressed. Tommy winked.
"I always knew that you just wanted me for my body." Jude rolled her eyes, locking her arms around him.
"No, that's just a definite perk to being with you!" Tommy chuckled, bending down to kiss her.
"Whatever." She smiled and leaned back in. This was definitely the way to start her mornings.
Tommy walked into the Studio, in a good mood. He saw Kyle and Wally lounging around, trying to see who could stuff more Pringles in their mouth. Tommy frowned at them.
"Where's Speed?" Tommy asked. Kyle shrugged his mouth full of Pringles.
"He said he had some business to take care, that he'd get here as soon as he could." Wally told him. Kyle grinned.
"Yes! I think I definitely won that round!" Wally dropped his jaw, furtively shaking his head.
"No way!" The two went back to squabbling with each other. Tommy shook his head and left the studio. They couldn't record without Speed there. Kwest met Tommy in hospitality.
"Hey man, you and SME recording?" Kwest asked. Tommy shook his head, opening a can of Coke.
"Lead singer is missing. Can't record without him." Kwest nodded. Tommy glanced at him.
"What's with all the excitement around here?" He asked. Kwest looked at him.
"Patsy just finished her album. Darius is listening to it right now." He said, rubbing his hands together. Tommy nodded.
"Another one for the wall?" Kwest looked at him hopefully.
"God, I hope so. This album took forever." Tommy grinned.
"Those are usually the best ones." Tommy stated. Kwest saw Patsy waiting outside of Darius's office.
"I gotta go man, we'll chat more later." Kwest ran over to her. Tommy shook his head and made his way towards his office. While he was waiting on Speed, he might as well get some paperwork done.
