"That's my plan. Will you help me?" I asked Mason, aftter telling him about Tommy's comment, and my plan to get back at him. "Are you kidding? Of course I'm in!" "Well then, we need to go shopping." I say, pulling Mason up from where he's sitting on the bed. "Let me grab my purse, then we can go." I grab my purse, then we head out.
We get to the shopping center, and just as I give up on finding a parking spot within 20 feet of the place, I spot one just a few feet from the doors. Someone else has seen it, and they want it too. I'm closer though, so I get it. "Ha! I win!" I say, while Mason gives me a "you're crazy" look. As we get out of the car, the pother person is getting out of their car. It's none other than Crystal. This makes my victory all the sweeter. I smile at her before heading inside.
"Are you sure about this, Jude?" Mason asks, as I try on a shirt and skirt. "Oh, I'm absolutely positive." "I think you're absolutely crazy." "You know you're having fun." I say walking out of the little cubicle to show him my outfit. It's a red halter top, and a black miniskirt. The shirt shows a little bit of my stomache. "Will he get all riled up?" "Honey, he'd have to be dead not to get riled up. Or gay." "I love shopping with you, you know that?" I laugh as I head back into the cubicle to put my own clothes back on. After that we pick up a pair of knee-high black boots.
We head home, where I eat before taking a shower. After I shower I get dressed and do my hair. As I sit in the bathroom debating how to do my hair, there's a knock on the door. "Jude, I need to get in there, please." "One sec, Tommy." I grab a towel and wrap it around my body so he won't see my outfit. I head into Mason's room to do my hair. "Hey, Tommy needed the bathroom, is it okay if I do my hair in here?" "Sure." I do my hair, then my make up. A little blush, a little lipgloss, and some eyeshadow. "How do I look?" I ask Mason, who's adjusting his hat. Yes, he's wearing his cowboy hat. He insists on wearing that thing. "You look amazing." "You ready?" I ask "Yup." "Let's do this."
We head out and I stop at the stairs, while Mason goes down to make sure Tommy's watching TV. "You coming Jude?" He's there. Deep breath. "Coming." I say starting down the stairs. I walk slowly, trying to look sexy and seductive. Tom does a double-take when he sees me, and it takes everything I have not to laugh. I walk over to the couch and come to a stop behind it. I lean over and run a hand up his stomcahe to his throat. "Hey sexy.' I whisper in his ear. "Mason and I are going to see if we can find some hot French guys, can we borrow the Viper?" "You...I...I mean, sure. The keys are on the table." "Thanks, maybe I'll bring something home for you." I say as I slip a folded up piece of paper into his hand. "Love you." I say, planting a row of small kisses along collarbone. I nod to Mason, who grabs the keys from the table and heads out the door. "Later." I call over my shoulder just as the door shuts. "You should have seen his face!" Mason crowed as soon as the door was shut. "And those kisses, nice touch!" I'm laughing too, and we climb into the car. Now, where does one find hot French guys?
Tommy
I sat in stunned silence for a moment before reading the note. Who's riled up now? I found my hot French guy two years ago, but I didn't know he was French until last year. Jude That little! I wanted to be mad, but I was too ecstatic over the fact that she thinks I'm hot. "She's very...unigue, no?" my father asks, coming from the kitchen where he was listening and watching, I'm sure. "She's something alright." "Be care, she is still too young." he advises before returning to the kitchen. "Too young." I sigh, echoing my father. "Unfortunately."
Jude
Mason and I were sitting in a bar drinking sodas. Legally, we could drink what we wanted, because the drinking age in France is 16. We chose not to, me because I had to drive Tommy's precious Viper home, and Mason just didn't want to. I was about to get up to talk to the dark-haired guy who was handing a cd to the DJ when he walked away. I cursed under my breath, thinking he'd get my mind off of Tommy. Mason must have heard, because he tried to comfort me. "He probably wasn't that cute anyway." I smiled, he was probably right. My smile faded when I heard "White Lines" come on. "What the heck?" I looked at Mason, who was staring at something, or someone, behind me. "May I have this dance?" I turned around to decline, only to find my face inches away from Tommy's. "What are you doing here?" "Well, I was hoping to dance with you. To our song." He takes my hand as I slide off the the stool I'm sitting on.
He leads me to the dance floor, and I wrap my arms around his neck as he puts his hands on my waist. We dance in silence for a few moments, our eyes locked. I don't want to ruin the moment, but I have to ask a question. "Why are you here Tommy?" I ask, looking straight into his eyes. "I read your note, and while I wanted to be mad, I couldn't. I wanted to ask who your hot French guy is." "You know exactly who he's is." "Just wanted to make sure." I'm probably going to regret his, but here goes nothing. I lean in and kiss him, and I swear time stopped. His hands moved to my face, cupping it gently. I'd moved one of my hands to his hair, running my fingers through it.
When I brought it away from his hair, my fingers were slightly sticky from his hair gel. I pulled away from Tommy and laughed. He looked confused, so I showed him my fingers, causing him to laugh as well. The song was over, so we made our way back to Mason, who was staring at us. "You two are crazy." he stated, overcoming his shock long enough to shove a fry into his mouth. "When you finish eating, we should probably head back. We''l have to get up early to pack, and we have to leave early so we'll get to the airport on time." "I don't wanna get up early." I pouted. "Too bad." Tom tried to sound tough, but he was smiling. Mason finished eating, and we left some money on the table. "I'll meet you guys at home." Tommy called as we headed to our separate cars. "Kay." I called back before getting in the car.
The first thing I did when we got back? Take off the boots. They're not really made for dancing. I headed up to my room to get into more comortable clothes, wondering what Tommy was up to. I found out when I opened the door. On the pillow were two red roses, and a note. I walked over and picked up the note.
Punk Rock Princess
Two red roses for the two years we've known each other.
Hopefully there will be many more to come.
Love, your Blue-Eyed Prince
"Aww!" I quickly change into pajamas, then go off in search of this blue-eyed prince. I found him putting a movie into the DVD player. There was a bowl of popcorn on the coffee table. "What are you watching?" "Just Like Heaven." "That's my favorite movie!" "I know." He sits on the couch and puts his feet on the table. "Well are you going to watch it with me or are you just going to stand there?" I lay down on the couch with my head in his lap. I grab the popcorn and pop a few pieces into my mouth. "Thanks." "Don't mention it." "I didn't say it back before because you took my by surpise, but I'm saying it now. I love you, too." I sit up so I can see his face,. He's smiling, and so am I. I lay back down, satisfied that I did the right thing. I try to stay awake, but it's useless. I fall alseep with Tommy playing with my hair. Nine months til I'm 18. Nine long months.
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
That you came up to me and said "I love you"
I love you too!
The part in italics is from the song Dreaming of You by Selena. Most of the story will be in Jude's point of view from now on because its easier for me to write it that way. That's it for now.
