It was a Saturday morning and Jude was lounging in her living room, staring up through the skylight. A small grin appeared on her face. She had shared such a connection with Tim. She could sense that he was quite passionate about music, like her. There was something about him though, like he was nursing a broken heart. Jude felt for him. She knew what it was like having your heart broken.

She sighed, turning away from the skylight. He had left in such a hurry! She didn't know what to make of it, as he had seemed generally interested in her. She hadn't even gotten his number or an address, so it was doubtful she would ever see him again. The only thing that she knew about him was that he owned a record store.

The store! Jude sat up, running for her closet. She was going to look for his store and see him again!

…………………………………..

Tommy rubbed his hair anxiously. The artist he was producing was completely green and really had no outstanding talent. Of course as a producer, it was his job to turn the artist's lack of talent into something worth money.

He sighed, wishing that he had taken the day off. It was a beautiful Saturday. Not that he would actually enjoy the day. He was still very upset over Claire's abrupt dumping. He still couldn't believe that she had fallen in love with another guy! It made him angry and sad all at the same time.

Then there was Jude, the woman from the bar the previous night. The beautiful, vibrant woman that he felt something for. That feeling scared him however. It was like how he felt for Clair, and well, look at how that turned out.

He felt bad for ditching her the way he had. She had been in his dreams that night. It was something that he just couldn't fight.

He sighed heavily, knowing that the chances of seeing her again were slim to none. Tommy pressed on the intercom.

"Lauren, why don't we take a break?" The bleached blonde nodded. Tommy fought back the urge to roll his eyes.

Lauren held a crush on Tommy that he did not reciprocate. The young woman constantly threw herself at him no matter how many times Tommy denied her advances.

Lauren walked into the control room and perched herself near the soundboard.

"So what do you think?" She asked, referring to her lyrics. Tommy thought of the extremely pedestrian lyrics she had scribbled in loopy handwriting. He pointed for her to take a seat.

"Well, Lauren it's a good attempt." He started out gently. "I just don't think that these lyrics cut it." Lauren shrugged. She leaned forward exposing her chest.

"So what else did you have in mind?" Tommy backed up a couple of feet.

"I was thinking of getting you a song writer." He answered. Lauren pouted.

"But Tommy, aren't you a writer/producer?" Tommy mentally rolled his eyes.

"Yes, but I have a lot of other artists I work with other then you. I don't have time to sit out and write your whole album." Lauren nodded. She leaned forward again and teasingly playing with a necklace she was wearing.

"I heard about your break up with Claire." Tommy gulped and looked away.

"Yeah, well some things just don't work out." Lauren smiled sweetly.

"I just wanted to tell you how stupid I think Claire is, for choosing another guy over you." Tommy nodded and stood up.

"Well, thank you Lauren. Why don't we call it a day?" He left her in the control room and headed out of the studio for a lunch break.

Jude walked around the streets of New York, looking for Tim's music store. It was a fruitless search. New York was huge and there were millions of independent music stores.

She gave up for the time being and went in search of a diner or café to have lunch at.

She walked inside a cute diner on the corner, across from several corporate buildings. She sat down at the counter and ordered a meal of grilled cheese and French fries.

She sipped her Coke and stared at the posters adorning the diner. It was a 50s style diner, but the posters were all famous music legends. Jude found herself caught up in the beauty of it all. A jukebox in the corner was playing a soft rock hit of the 80s. She set her drink down and walked over to the jukebox, changing the song.

"I never pictured you as a Beatles fan." Jude turned around surprised to see Tim standing behind her.

"Tim, what are you doing here?" Tim grinned pleasantly.

"Well I always eat lunch here, or at least I used to." Jude nodded.

"Wow, I didn't think that I would ever actually see you again." She gushed. She walked back over to the counter she had been sitting down at. Tim followed her and sat down, ordering a Diet Coke.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for running off on you last night." He apologized. Jude nodded, understanding.

"I figured you must have had a good reason." Tim shook his head.

"No, I'm a jerk for running out on a very nice woman." Jude laughed.

"I'm not always so nice." The waitress brought Jude her order and Tim's drink. Jude turned towards Tim.

"I know you said you owned a music store but I was curious as to where it was." Tim choked on his drink a little.

…………………………………………

Tommy fought to swallow his drink. It had been a pleasant surprise to see Jude again. He was glad to see her, especially since he had run off on her the night before.

Jude looked at him worried. Tommy caught her gaze. She had the most amazing blue eyes he had ever seen. Deep ocean blue orbs that you could get lost in.

He shook his head remembering her question. He thought quick for a cover.

"Yeah, I'm actually from New Jersey. Did I say I was from New York?" Jude shook her head.

"Yeah, a friend of mine lives here in New York. I was just visiting for the week since he wanted me to meet his girlfriend." Tommy felt bad. He had hardly known this girl for a day and he had already lied to her on multiple occasions.

"Oh, I'm sorry I must have misunderstood." Tommy nodded his head rigidly.

Jude finished her sandwich and left some money for a tip. She stood up ready to leave. At the last minute she turned towards him, obviously a little embarrassed.

"I know that you're probably a very busy person, but I was just wondering if you were doing anything today." Tommy looked at her generally surprised. He shook his head. She smiled, relieved.

"Would you like to join me on a little field trip?" She asked. Tommy grinned, feeling better then he had in a long while. He didn't know why, but Jude just did something to him. She made him feel good in general.
