Chapter 12
"How was your date with Red?" Wally asked as him and Kyle came back from their dinner.
"Ok, she is so damn complicated." Speed replied.
"How is that?" Kyle asked as he sat down a pizza box.
"It started out lovely; she was a bitch to me. I finally get her to have some fun but not much. I tried to apologize, that went nowhere. So, I told her I wanted a nice date and that I was going to go about this right." Speed explained.
"Ok, that was pretty much expected." Wally replied.
"Oh, but this isn't. I told her the date would end with a kiss on the cheek and nothing more. So we get back. I say good night and she asks me to help her untie her top, so being stupid, I did. Next thing I know, she throws off the dress and kicks her panties at me. She then goes over to the bed and lies on the bed and asks me to play a little game for two. Dudes, that was the hardest thing I had to do, kiss her on the cheek and walk away." Speed finished.
"Damn, that girl sure knows how to push you over the edge." Kyle said as him and Wally burst into hysterical laughter.
Jude was in her room lying on the floor with her legs propped against the wall talking to Mason. She was telling him all about her date with Speed when Wally walked in. He laid down on her bed and waited for her to get off her phone.
"What's up Wally?" Jude asked as she hung up her cell phone.
"So, how was tonight?" He asked.
"Okay, I didn't expect that." Jude replied.
"I figured, he is serious though, he wants you back." Wally said.
"I know, I knew he was serious about doing this right when he left me." Jude giggled.
"You really pushed him there. I don't know how he managed to leave you like that." Wally laughed back.
"His face was so worth it." Jude replied.
"I wouldn't suggest doing that again, but dude, he is over there replaying the whole thing in his head." Wally stated.
"Oh, he needs to learn that giving a girl a rose for every time he has had sex with her is not romantic." Jude said.
"That is his excuse for the four roses. He is an idiot; he actually could only find four orange roses, I told him make some romantic reason for that number. Oh yeah, the whole restaurant knows you two have had sex at least four times, be prepared for it to be in the tabloids and I now know why you shouted that." Wally laughed.
"I was that loud?" Jude asked regretting her outburst from earlier.
Kyle had left Speed to go see what was up with Wally and Jude. Speed took this as his time to call Mason.
"Dude, has she called you yet?" Speed asked.
"Yea, talked to her about five minutes ago, why?" Mason replied.
"What did she say?" Speed asked.
"She thought it went ok, the four rose thing was a bad move, the resisting her seductive ways was a major plus, gained some honesty points. She found the dancing really romantic." Mason replied.
"She did enjoy the dancing? I have a bruise from her heels on my foot." Speed said excitedly.
"Now the next step is the perfect kiss. She has talked about this before." Mason stated.
"Tell." Speed replied.
"Ok, Jude loves light summer rain showers. Take her out to run through one and play in the puddles. It may sound childish, but she will love it. Then stop her and look into her eyes. Once you have her full attention, kiss her." Mason instructed.
"That sounds really gay, no offense Mason, but that is a little too far for me." Speed replied.
"Well, if you really want to get her, then I suggest that. At least her idea of a perfect kiss isn't like Patsy's." Mason stated.
"Hers is probably more fitted for me." Speed joked.
"In a dumpster in front of her psycho ex Iggy." Mason replied.
"Ok, rain it is." Speed quickly said as he changed his mind.
The next week and a half, wherever they were, there was no rain. Jude walked about everywhere hand in hand with Speed. He would kiss her on the cheek every night before they went to their rooms for the night. Kyle and Wally noticed the chemistry coming back at the concerts. When they sang Soft Spoken the song would end, but Jude and Speed were still caught up in it, starring at each other and holding hands.
One day when on the bus, it started to rain. Speed was so mad that they weren't stopped somewhere. The bus finally came to a stop after twenty minutes because they needed refuel. Speed saw Jude sitting on the couch starring at the rain.
"Red, come with me." Speed said as he grabbed her arm and started to go.
"What are you doing?" Jude asked as she ran along with him.
Speed pulled Jude along side him. They crossed the street to an empty parking lot that had plenty of puddles. Wally and Kyle were watching and recording from the bus.
"What is he doing?" Kyle asked as they watched.
"I don't know, bet it something to do with Jude's idea of a perfect kiss. Overheard him and Mason talking." Wally replied.
