Chapter 17
"Hey Jude, just wanted to say go…" Mason was saying until he flipped the light switch on. "Sorry to interrupt, good night." Mason finished quickly as he tried to avoid Jude and Speed, who were only in their underwear and Speed was holding Jude's bra in one hand.
"Its ok Mason, wait a second." Jude said as she pulled the covers over her. "Speed, give me your shirt."
"Here." Speed said as he grabbed a shirt and threw it at her.
"Mason, where are you sleeping?" Jude asked as she quickly slid on the shirt.
"The pull out couch in Kyle and Wally's room." Mason replied.
"Sucks to be you." Speed smarted off.
"Shut up Vincent." Jude snapped. "We have an extra bed, stay in here."
"I don't want to intrude; you guys were kind of in the middle of something. I would feel bad." Mason explained.
"It is ok, stay, the couch is awful." Jude begged.
"Do you mind Speed?" Mason asked.
"Why would I, not like anything is going to happen now." Speed replied angrily.
Mason ended up staying in Jude and Speed's room. Speed told Jude good night and waited for her to say it back and give him a kiss like every night since they became official again. Jude never did. She stayed up for over an hour talking to Mason.
The next week was all about Mason. Speed was lucky to get a kiss on his cheek from Jude. She spent most of her time with Mason wanting to know what all she had missed. Speed was starting to get upset, every time he attempted to kiss her, she would run off.
They had moved hotels twice and now were at a new one. Speed took his stuff and sat it in Kyle and Wally's room.
"What is the deal? Staying with us over Red?" Kyle asked.
"Just sick of Mason this Mason that. I mean, the dude is fine, but that is all Jude thinks about." Speed complained.
"Jealous are we?" Wally joked.
"You could say that. What really pisses me off is I spend basically my whole day with her and I have been lucky to get a kiss on the cheek for the past week. I tried to kiss her last night and she pulled away to go talk to Mason. She hasn't even told me good night or gave me a good night kiss since he showed up and she use to do that every night." Speed replied now upset.
"Why is your stuff in her sweetie?" Jude asked as her and Mason walked in.
"Just felt like staying with the dudes." Speed replied as he left the room.
"Wally, come here." Jude said as she pulled Wally into the other room
"What Red?" Wally asked once Jude shut the door.
"What is up with Speed?" Jude asked.
"You." Wally replied.
"Me, why me?" Jude asked back confused.
"He feels left out and like you don't want to be with him." Wally stated.
"How is that?" Jude asked.
"When is the last time you kissed him, I mean really kissed him?" Wally asked.
"Umm, I don't know why is that important?" Jude replied.
"If I asked you that a week ago, your answer would have been in minutes. You have spent all your time with Mason and left him out. What really upset him is you haven't made an effort to tell him good night and I am guessing, I love you." Wally stated seeing Jude realize her mistake.
"I, uh, I…" Jude started to say.
"You have hurt him again. Jude, I know Mason is important to you, but so is Speed and he needs you more. His heart is still healing from the whole Tommy thing." Wally said as he left.
Jude sat there for a few minutes realizing what she had done. She went to find Speed, but couldn't. That night she noticed Kyle, Wally, and Mason watching TV and she heard the shower running. She knew that had to be Speed.
Jude slipped in the bathroom and undressed. She then carefully got in the shower. She walked up behind Speed and laid her head on his back.
"I am sorry." Jude said.
"Sorry for what?" Speed replied back barely acknowledging her.
"For this week, I screwed up." Jude replied.
"Yup." Speed said as he turned around.
"I was so wrapped up in Mason visiting that I ignored you. I love you Vincent Spiederman." Jude said as she held Speed tight in her arms.
"I love you too, but yea, you ignored me and it hurt." Speed replied as he rubbed Jude's back.
"Good night." Jude said then kissed Speed quickly. She did that seven times.
"What was that for?" Speed asked when she was done.
"For the seven nights I didn't do it." Jude replied as she kissed him again.
"Let's get out of here and go to bed." Speed said as he shut the water off.
Him and Jude dried off and then put on robes. Speed grabbed a couple of things and they quietly walked behind the other guys who were too into the TV to notice.
"So, are Jude and Speed fighting?" Mason asked Kyle and Wally.
"Don't know; they are complicated." Kyle replied.
"Ok, I hope I haven't caused it." Mason stated.
"Don't worry about it, they were do for a fight anyways, things were way too peaceful." Wally added.
"Ok, well I am going to go grab my cell. We need to check in with Jamie or Sadie." Mason said as he got up. Mason walked over to the door and opened it. He didn't remember shutting the door but then thought that maybe Jude had shut it when she decided to be alone. He opened the door and was about to walk in when he noticed that Jude wasn't alone. He quickly shut the door and said, "Oh my god, I just saw more then anyone should."
"What?" Kyle and Wally said together as the jumped up.
"Jude… Speed… in bed… you know…" Mason said in a broken up state.
"You mean you just walked in on them actually doing it?" Kyle asked.
Mason nodded his head yes.
"Damn, glad it wasn't us; we have seen those two naked before or after, but never actually caught them. We know the shock, it is a lot dude." Wally said trying not to laugh at Mason.
"Dudes, we better go to our room and shut the door; we don't need to hear this. Mason, stay with us tonight. It would be cruel and unusual punishments to have you go back in there to sleep." Kyle added as the walked to their room.
The guys went to their room. They were talking when Kyle decided to ask Mason a question.
"We know Jude tells you like everything, did she ever tell you about her and Speed doing it at G-Major?" Kyle asked. He and Wally had been wondering what happened there ever since Speed had made the point to name off the places him and Jude had been intimate at.
"Yea, I was actually there both times." Mason said with an odd look on his face.
"Dude, tell then, this has been bugging us for a month. Wait, both?" Wally replied.
"Yea, the first time Jude and I had snuck in late to record a song even though Tommy refused it that day. Speed of course came. Speed couldn't stay off Jude whenever we took a break to replay or change something. I jokingly told Speed that studio two was free for him and Jude to go 'play' in. He dragged her off before I could say I was joking." Mason explained.
"That is defiantly Speed." Kyle laughed.
"You said that there was a second time." Wally questioned.
"Oh yea, I left though. I was recording and so was Jude. Speed was there to pick up some things and it was late so he was going to take Jude home. Jamie and Patsy were there too. Well, I left Jude and Speed in the control room and Jamie and Patsy were somewhere. Well, I ran into Jamie and told him where Speed and Jude were. I guess he walked in on them. Patsy said it was a sight to see, Jamie looked as if he could kill Speed. Patsy carried Jamie out of G-Major screaming at Speed." Mason said as he laughed.
"Dude that is why Jamie wouldn't talk to Speed for a month I bet." Wally said to Kyle.
"Damn, I wish I could see Patsy carrying Jamie out." Kyle replied.
"Well, I am going to go to sleep, we have a busy day ahead, you know with tracking down Tommy and all." Mason said as he turned the light off.
