3 Weeks Later:
"Tommy, you told me you would stop with this." Jude murmured under her breath.
"Jude, that's like asking you to stop being a musician. I can't control it. I'm sorry." He whispered as he backed up from her.
"We were doing fine until now. Why now?" She asked him. He shrugged.
"I could ask you the same question. Why'd you kiss me back this time?"
"Whatever." She couldn't answer the question, he already knew the answer anyway.
"I have a boyfriend." She told him.
"I'm twenty-four." He said. "I wonder what other problems we have, uh?"
"I can't deal with you right now. You're so…aggravating." She said, pushing herself up from the seat and walking towards the door.
"Stop." He grabbed her forearm.
"You said a few weeks ago that we never talk about it. So let's talk about it, and not wait a month like last time." He said, pulling her back to her seat and pushing her lightly into it. He sat down across from her.
"Be honest. Why did you kiss me back?" He asked her.
"Nuh uh, no way. You started this thing. So why did you kiss me in the first place?" She was getting angry now.
"I got caught up in the moment." He shrugged.
Jude shook her head. "That's a lie and you know it."
"Fine. But you have to tell me the true answer to my question first." He said, pointing at her.
She shook her foot unconsciously. "Maybe because I have a little thing for you." She said quietly. Tommy smirked.
"What about Speed, your boyfriend, remember?" He reminded her.
"You asked me to answer the question, so I did!" She yelled at him. He backed up a little and put his hands up in the air innocently.
"Your turn." She told him.
He swallowed.
"So I have a little thing for you too. Nothing huge." He lied easily.
"So how do we get over the thing?" She asked him.
"Get laid." She raised an eyebrow. "Not by each other, I mean by someone else. Maybe we're just needing some action. When's the last time you and Speed…you know…hooked up?" He asked her. Her jaw dropped.
"That's none of your business! Pick another solution." She told him.
"We just forget about it. And try not to think about each other. Deal?"
"Deal." She said, shaking his hand professionally and getting up.
