A.N.: I know that it has been literally forever since the last time that i updated. school started back up and since i'm a senior its been like a nonstop rollercoaster since the minute i stepped foot back into the school. on top of that, i started a new job that keeps me pretty busy... not to mention rich! haha yeah i wish... so i've finally made it to fall break and while i should really be working on my monologue due on Monday for theatre, and i should really be working on my online class, and i should REALLY be finishing my college applications, i decided i could spare a few moments to update this chapter. luckily, this was already written out, it just needed to be transfered onto my computer. i'm sorry to say that i don't know when the next update will be, but i'm hoping it won't be as long as the wait for this one. so i apologize to any faithful readers out there... you guys own my heart! anyways, here is the next chapter... i like it... its cute... i already know the direction i want to take this, but we'll see how long it takes for me to get there... again i'm so sorry (it seems i've been saying that word alot lately!) to all you readers. i would understand if you lost interest... please don't! i absolutely adore your comments/remarks! so feel free to continue on with the chapter and don't forget to review at the end, even if it is to bitch at me for waiting so long before an update... sorry...
A few weeks later, Tommy was sitting in the recording booth with Kwest, mixing a song. He had never felt happier then he did with Jude. He grinned, just thinking about their date the night before.
Kwest turned the song off, noticing Tommy's distracted look.
"Why did you turn the song off man? We were working!" Tommy shouted, snapping back into reality. Kwest shook his head.
"I was working. I don't know where you were." Tommy smiled again, his mind drifting off onto thoughts of Jude. Kwest punched him in the arm. Tom glared at him.
"What the hell was that for?" He shouted, rubbing his arm.
"Well for one, you were drifting off again, and two, because I recognize that look. This thing with you and Jude serious?" Kwest asked. Tommy grinned.
"Yeah it's serious." Kwest nodded, and then punched him again. Tommy winced from the pain. He glared at Kwest.
"What the hell?" Kwest glared back at him.
"If you really love Jude, why don't you try telling her the damn truth!" Tommy stared down at his hands. He knew Kwest was right, he was just so scared that if he told her, Jude wouldn't want to see him anymore.
"I want to. It's just that…" He trailed off.
"Well, here's your chance." Confused, Tommy followed Kwest's gaze out the window and onto Jude who was standing in the lobby with Sadie.
"Oh shit." Kwest chuckled at him.
"What's your plan now, Einstein?" Tommy groaned. This was not happening.
"Okay, Kwest man, why don't you go distract them while I'll slip out, unnoticed." Kwest shook his head.
"The things I do for friends." Tommy watched as Kwest walked out into the lobby and received a kiss from Sadie. The three shared some pleasantries and Kwest led them over to hospitality. Taking the moment, Tommy headed for the front doors.
Jude waited patiently while Kwest and Sadie said hello.
"So what brings you two by?" Kwest asked. Jude shrugged.
"Sadie swung by the school and picked me up for lunch. She wanted to stop and say hello." Kwest nodded and wrapped an arm around Sadie.
"Why don't I show you guys to hospitality? I'm sure there's something to eat in there." Sadie eagerly followed, whereas Jude hung back a bit.
"I'm actually going to step outside." Sadie nodded and pulled on Kwest's arm to get his attention.
Jude turned back the way they came and walked out the door. She breathed in the fresh air and walked over to a kiosk selling hotdogs. She stepped up to the guy selling the hot dogs and ordered one. She turned around to head back towards the studio when she saw a very familiar body.
"Tim?" She asked, quite surprised to see her boyfriend. She smiled and walked over to kiss him hello.
Tommy eagerly accepted her kiss. That had been a close call.
"Hey." He smiled at her and pushed back a stray hair that had fallen in front of her face.
"What are you doing here?" Jude asked. Tommy grinned.
"Getting lunch." Jude held up her hot dog.
"Me too." Tommy wrapped an arm around her waist. The couple walked down the sidewalk.
"Hey, how about I take you for dinner tonight?" Tommy suggested. Jude shook her head.
"No?" He asked, not understanding and a little hurt. Jude smiled softly at his injured look.
"No, I wanna cook for you tonight." Tommy's face lit up at the prospect.
"Okay, it's a date." They arrived back in front of G Major. Jude leaned forward and pressed her lips against his.
"Be at my house by 7." They kissed again before Jude walked back inside G Major. Tommy sighed in relief.
"Lunch time!"
