Chapter 8 – I Can't Wait Forever

'Tom can I speak to you a minute?' Darius asked poking his head around the door to studio B where Karma was giving yet another show to try and impress Tommy. Tommy smiled thankfully and Darius picked up on that.

'Yes of course!' he replied enthusiastically before pressing the button to talk to Karma. 'I gotta jet for a sec, just practice kay?' and he left without looking for a reply.

'I have some business in London next week Tom, but I'm already booked in Hong Kong, and seeing as you've been great since you got back I was wondering if I could send you there to take care of it for me? Emi can go with you all expenses including day care and you get a break from Karma.' He winked with the last comment.

'Sure D,' he shouted. 'Anything for the boss. Now I must break the news to my oh so lovely artist.'

The next week passed fairly quickly for Tommy, he was just recording and producing Karma. She didn't half make the job hard though. Although Jude liked him, she always worked hard in the studio and didn't use the time in there to try and impress him, that was why they always hung out late with no particular hours. Tommy had gotten so pissed off at spending time with Karma he had given her hours that she had to come in and he never hung out with her out of the studio like he always did with Jude. Jude didn't constantly come into the studio wearing skirts that barely covered her ass and she didn't make a show dancing around in the studio. It was the way she moved when she recorded that impressed Tommy, it was so natural. Tommy was annoyed because he had constantly told Karma that he really wasn't interested and she just didn't seem to take a hint. She really was wearing him down.

When Sadie found out about Tom going to London she had been so happy. He'd thrown himself into his work for the past six months and she knew that he really needed the break with Emi and more than that he deserved to get a break from that Karma girl. She promised to keep him posted with any news that came of Jude, but he really had begun to lose faith in her ever coming home. He smiled as he ran to help Emi who was dragging her little pink suitcase down the stairs and he picked her up and carried her and the suitcase to the Taxi that had just arrived. He had wanted to take the Viper but Sadie had told him it was far to dangerous for a little girl and she knew his driving and she really didn't want either of them getting hurt. He had, despite his many protestations been forced by Sadie to rent a safe car for London and though he immediately regretted letting Sadie force him into that decision he knew that ultimately it was the right decision for him and his little girl.

Mason sighed as he curled himself up in the little guestroom of the Harrison house that had been his home for the past few months. He didn't really want to be staying there because he felt like he was intruding on Sadie and making things difficult for her because she already had enough to deal with, but Sadie had insisted that he stay because he was so close to Jude and he was probably one of the only things beside her music that had made her life bearable after Tommy had left. He knew that he was grateful to be there so close to the last place he had known Jude to be.

He really just wanted Jude to come back, more than anything in the whole world, he missed her so much that he thought some days he couldn't continue without her. He knew that she thought of him as her rock throughout all of the difficulties in her relationship with Tommy and the ups and downs of her career, but he knew that she most definitely didn't realize just how much of a rock she had been to him, how much she had helped him and guided him through the recording of his album and through his music career. Most of all though how much she had understood him when she found out he was gay and she hadn't run away from him and left him to deal with it himself. He had never realized before just how much he needed Jude, maybe he needed her almost as much as she needed him, his music was definitely suffering without her, apart from the songs he was able to perform about him missing her.

He'd tried to form a friendship with the new instant star Karma but she hadn't been nearly as kind as Jude had. In fact to be honest he thought that she really didn't deserve the title of instant star and it kind of upset him that it did have to go to such a super bitch. He had seen the way she looked at Tommy and he knew she was a maneater and she was after him. He told Tommy he had better not do anything with Karma because if Jude came back it would kill her, she would think of the contest was a thing he used to pick up girls, though deep down he knew that wasn't true. For some reason Tommy trusted Mason's view, he had grown to really like the guy and he wished that he was still his artist and that Kwest could have Karma. Mason was thankful that Tommy trusted his view but he also knew that Tommy was right when he said;

'I can't wait for her to come back forever.'

Hey well there you have it, I thought that maybe it would be nice to have a little bit of Mason in there, and maybe the next chapter will have a bit of Mason as well. Tommy is in London now…oooooh!

Please R & R Much love.
