Chapter 10
"Morning Red, you look…" Wally was saying to Jude as she wondered into the kitchen
"Save it Wally, I know I look awful. I want my coffee then I am moving my stuff to the bus so we can get out of here." Jude snarled.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Kyle laughed.
"Grrrr" Jude growled at him.
Wally walked into Jude's room to grab her packed duffle bag for her. "Did your mystery man visit last night and something bad happen?"
"What?" Kyle asked.
"There is a pair of guys' socks in here." Wally said. "Jude?"
"Yes Wally." Jude said as she shuffled over to the sink.
"Someone looks like hell. Bad night working the corner?" Speed smarted off as he looked at Jude when he walked into the room.
Jude sat down her cup and looked at Speed who was laughing at her. All her anger was ready to be released. She darted at him screaming, "I hate you." Kyle jumped up and grabbed Jude right before her punch would have hit Speed. Wally quickly grabbed the other side. Jude was fighting them, she was still screaming, but crying too. She kicked Speed right in between the legs.
"Oh my god." Speed screamed as he fell to the floor in pain. Kyle and Wally released Jude as they cringed at the thought and sight of Speed. Jude stomped out to the bus.
"What did you do to her?" Wally asked after Jude slammed the door.
"I rather not discuss it." Speed said as he tried to get up.
"Ok, we will take the stuff to the bus." Kyle said as him and Wally gathered the bags.
On the bus, Speed stayed in the guys bunk while Jude locked herself in her room.
"I am going to go talk to Speed and see what is going on." Wally said as he got up and left. Right after Wally walked into the guys' bunk, Jude walked out of her room.
"Dude, come here and tell me what is wrong." Kyle said as he sat on the couch looking at a magazine.
"Why do think something is wrong?" Jude asked angrily.
"Well, you kicked Speed in between the legs and look as if you have been crying all day." Kyle said as he put down the magazine. "Come here."
Jude shuffled over, "Where do you suppose I sit, you are taking up the whole couch."
"Sit on my lap and tell me what is wrong." Kyle replied.
"Everything." Jude said as the tears slowly started to come.
"It's ok Jude. Just tell me, I wont say anything if you don't want me to." Kyle said as he rubbed her back trying to comfort her. "Is it your mystery guy?"
"Yes, no, I don't know." Jude said as she laid her head on Kyle's shoulder. She was now crying harder.
"Its ok Red, is it Speed?" Kyle asked.
"Yes, he is my mystery guy." Jude cried.
"What? I thought you two hated each other." Kyle replied shocked.
"I don't know. I thought things were getting better, and then last night everything went wrong." Jude said as she buried her face into his shirt.
"Explain Jude and I might be able to help." Kyle said as he patted her back.
"Remember when you locked us in your bunk, well we were fighting and next thing I knew we were on the floor naked. Then I slept with him three times this weekend. I thought he wanted to get back together. I asked him about it last night and he made a comment on how he liked the way things were, just having sex with me whenever he wants, and that I destroyed his heart." Jude explained. Kyle had a hard time understanding her because of the crying, but he got most of it.
"Jude, I am sorry. Are you sure he doesn't want more? In all the years I have known Speed that just doesn't seem like him. He had broken it off with Monica before you two because he thought things were going too fast and that sex should only be between two people truly in love." Kyle replied.
"I don't think he can love anymore. I ruined him. I am an awful person Kyle, I really am. I wish I had a time machine. I love him more then anything and it has taken me a while to figure that out." Jude cried.
"Tell him that Jude." Kyle said as he held her tight to him trying to calm her down.
Wally walked out and saw Kyle and Jude. He had a puzzled look on his face.
"What the hell?" Wally said silently.
"Speed, that is her mystery man." Kyle lipped back.
"And?" Wally asked now interested.
"They had this stupid thing that they were friends with benefits or whatever you want to call it. Jude said she wanted more but Speed said that she destroyed his heart after they just had sex. She loves him" Kyle explained.
"Damn, I am going to go talk with him again. Calm her down, have her call Mason or Jamie or something. Just not Patsy." Wally said as he turned around
"Ok dude, we seriously need to talk about you and Jude." Wally said as he starred at Speed.
"What is there to say, she obviously hates me. Look what she did to me this morning." Speed replied.
"Well, if someone told me that I destroyed them right after I had sex with them, I would be pissed off too." Wally said.
"She told you didn't she?" Speed asked.
"She told Kyle, she is out there crying hysterically on Kyle's shoulder. She realized last night that she is in love with you." Wally said still angry.
"Well, if she would have let me finish, she would have heard that I wanted to put the Tommy thing in the past and start over. I still love her; I just don't know how to tell her." Speed said as he put his head in his hands.
"Dude, you need to let her know." Wally stated.
"I have been working on it. I have been asking Mason for advice. Those roses were supposed to be from me, Mason just didn't tell me till after he sent them and she saw them. He is setting up something for our next stop, but I don't know what." Speed replied.
"Get him on the phone right now; we are going to work out a plan tonight. Kyle and I have dealt with more then enough of you two fighting and now this." Wally said mad as he threw his cell phone at Speed.
"Dude, it is Speed and Wally." Speed said once Mason picked up the phone.
"Hey guys how is it going?" Mason replied.
"Not so good, Jude and Speed had a nice little fight." Wally said.
"Oh boy, what happened this time?" Mason asked a little hesitant.
"Right after they had sex, Jude said she wanted more then just the benefits and Speed had to open his big mouth and say that she destroyed him and he liked the way things were." Wally said into the phone while glaring at Speed.
"Yikes, how did that end?" Mason asked.
"Jude kicking him between the legs and her storming onto the bus. She is now crying hysterically on Kyle's shoulder." Wally explained.
"Ouch, Speed, you really just messed up. This is going to be hard." Mason replied.
"What do we do?" Speed asked.
"Ok, the hotel you guys are staying at next has a really nice garden restaurant. I made you reservations for tomorrow night at 8pm for two. Kyle and Wally have reservations too, but at a separate table in the corner so they are out of sight, but can make sure nothing happens. You will be waiting for her at the table. Get a couple orange roses and give them to her when she arrives. Once the sun goes down, ask the band to play Dancing In The Moonlight then ask her to dance. She thought that was so romantic in A Walk To Remember. Got it?" Mason explained.
"I think so." Speed replied.
"I got it, what is the dress code?" Wally asked.
"Semi casual." Mason replied.
"Ok, how will she know where to go and everything?" Speed asked.
"There will be an invitation on her pillow when she arrives tonight." Mason said.
"Ok, we play dumb to this right?" Wally asked.
"Yes, I got to go, Kwest is calling." Mason said.
"Later." Wally and Kyle said together.
That night the concert went ok. Speed tried to hold Jude's hand again during Soft Spoken but she pulled away. She wouldn't look at him in the eyes and tried to avoid him whenever possible.
