Chapter 3
Stuart waited for Tommy to unlock the G Major doors and they both entered the dark studio. Stuart grabbed Tommy by the jacket lapels and shoved him into the nearest wall. Tommy winced as his head slammed into the G Major light that hung on the wall. Stars danced before his eyes and Stuart let the ex-boybander go and paced the room, cursing. Tommy rubbed his head and elected to say nothing about the matter.
Stuart turned to the younger man and Tommy wondered if looks could really kill you. If it was true, he'd be dead and buried already.
"What are you doing with my daughter." Stuart said, his voice low and deadly. Tommy fought the urge to squeak in fear and elected to play dumb and see what Stuart thought he saw.
"What do you think sir?"
"I think you're taking advantage of my baby girl."
"With all due respect sir"
"If you really respected me you'd leave my daughters alone." Stuart hissed. "I let you go out with Sadie because she was 18 and old enough to make her own decisions, but Jude"
"Jude's 17!" Tommy argued and added, "She's well over the age of consent."
"Keeping track Tom?" Tommy winced as he realized how those words would sound to a father.
"Jude's old enough to make her own decisions." Tommy said.
"Without a…26 year old influencing her."
"24," Tommy corrected and Stuart glared at him and Tommy resisted the urge to cower. Stuart Harrison was not the man you want to piss off.
"You stay away from my daughter." Stuart said, pointing his finger at Tommy.
"I'm her producer; I can't stay away from her."
"Oh, you make sure you don't. If I so much as see you with her, I'll call the police and notify them of a resident pedophile." Tommy stared at Stuart in amazement.
"What do you want me to do?" Tommy asked him, feeling defeated.
"I want you to break up with Jude." Tommy nodded his head and felt tears come to his eyes as he realized the heartbreak he'd cause the love of his life.
"I'll play your game Stuart…but you know what, I wonder how you're going to live with yourself."
"Excuse me?"
"I love Jude. I can't completely speak for her, but I believe she loves me as well. You're forcing me to break her heart. What kind of father would want that?"
"One who doesn't want to see her get hurt."
"Kind of ironic man." Tommy said, his voice defeated.
Stuart didn't rebut and he turned to leave. "I want you to break up with her Tomorrow, first thing. Remember, I'll be watching." Stuart added, and waited for Tommy's nod of acknowledgement before leaving him alone.
Once Stuart left, Tommy held his head in his hands. What have I done? He wondered.
