Chapter 11


"You're dating Tommy?" Sadie said still surprised.

Jude just nodded her head.

"Wow." Sadie said quietly.

Jude mentally prepared herself for the wrath of Sadie. But when she looked over at Sadie, she looked like she was thinking.

" That's it?" Jude asked mildly shocked. She looked over at Tommy who also looked like he was expecting more.

"What did you want me to say?" Sadie shrugged.

" I don't know! I'm dating your ex-boyfriend! I've been lying to you!" Jude said loudly. She felt Tommy squeeze her hand.

" Ok. Well we don't want to make her mad." Tommy whispered in Jude's ear. But it was loud enough for Sadie to hear.

Sadie laughed a little at Tommy's comment. " Jude. Tommy and I.. are ancient history. I'm with Kwest now." She smiled looking behind her at Kwest, who was still at the door with SME.

"I'm sorry I lied to you. But after what happened with Kat and me with the whole Jaime thing, I didn't want that to happen to us." Jude said sadly.

Sadie smiled at Jude and watched as Tommy let go of her hand and hugged her.

"Jude. I'm not Kat. No matter what you do, I can't hate you or stop talking to you. You're my little sister. I love you." She hugged Jude.

"Aww dudes that was so sweet." Speed said, pretending to cry.

Jude rolled her eyes at her friend.

"I'm so glad you're not mad Sades." Jude said as she pulled away.

"Well I'm not jumping for joy. I mean you did hide this from me. And it's you dating little Tommy Q we're talking about." Sadie laughed.

"Hey! I resent that!" Tommy said angrily.

" Now I get why Tommy looked so mad about the Eric and Speed thing. Sorry." Sadie said shyly. " I just thought Tommy was never going to be man enough to admit he had feeling for you." She smiled.

Tommy scowled at Sadie again.

Sadie smiled at Tommy's face but it soon faded. " Wait a minute! I found your birth control pills!! Jude? You're sleeping with Tommy!!" She said a little too loudly.

SME who had by now entered the studio and were sitting down, all stared at Jude and Tommy with evil grins.

"I knew it!! All those late night at the studio "recording". Quincy and Jude are getting it on!" Kyle said trying to high five Tommy. Tommy glared at him and Kyle quickly lowered his hand.

Jude turned bright red. " Sadie! Do you mind?! That's kind of private."

Sadie looked over at Tommy. He was looking away.

Sadie walked up to Tommy and poked him in the chest with her finger. "Listen here buddy! You better be tested! Because if my little sister catches something from you I swear I'll…"

"Sadie!!" Jude said taking her sisters' arm and pulling her away from Tommy.

" I think we should go." Kwest told the boys of SME.

"Dude. Are you kidding? This is better than T.V." Speed said.

" I know. Jude is dating Quincy. Who was dating her sister. Who is now dating you, his best friend." Said Wally.

"Dudes you're forgetting the best part." Kyle said. " Jude and Tommy are getting it on." Kyle finished and high fived Wally and Speed.

"You three are pathetic." Jude said rolling her eyes.

"How long has this been going on?" Sadie said pointing at Tommy then Jude.

"How long have we been going out?" Jude asked.

" No. Dude. How long has Quincy been hitting that?" Wally winked.

Jude ignored Wally and answered Sadie. " We've been together. For about a year and half."

"Right after I broke up with Tommy?" Sadie asked.

"Not right after. Two months after that." Jude shrugged.

"Ok. Whatever. What's more important is that you've kept this from me for over a year."

"I'm sorry Sades." Jude said taking Sadie's hand.

"So …you still haven't said when you started to sleep with Quincy. And should I be worried about sitting anywhere in this studio? " Kyle said getting up abruptly from his seat.

Wally and Speed started to laugh at Kyle's face.

"Ok! You three need to leave!" Jude said pointing at the door.

"Hey! I didn't say anything!" Speed protested.

"Spiederman. You already knew about me and Tommy. Why do you want to stay?" Jude said.

"What?!" Said everyone but Jude, Tommy and Speed.

" Wait. Speed knew about you and Tom and not your own sister?" Sadie crossed her arms across her chest.

"Uh. I kind of knew too." Kwest announced.

Sadie glared at him. " Since when?"

"Well I had my suspicions. The looks they gave each other. The way Jude and Tommy got back from 'lunch' and Tommy failed to notice that his zipper was down."

SME laughed at the face Tommy made when Kwest said the last thing. " Besides, a week ago when we came back from dinner they had just done it on the couch in your house."

Jude and Tommy stared at Kwest. " Come on you guys. It was so obvious. You had the blanket over you and you didn't get up until Sadie ran past you to pee and I went to the kitchen."

" EWW. The night they were 'watching' movie? Jude! I sit on that couch." Sadie said disgusted.

"Ok. Could everyone please stop talking about Tommy and my sex life."

"Your what?!" Came an angry voice from the doorway.

Jude and Tommy cringed . They knew who that voice belonged to.

" Hey D? What's up?" Jude smiled sweetly.

" What's up? What's up is that I told Sadie I needed to see both of you and Tom in my office a half hour ago!" Darius shouted.

Before Jude or Tommy could say anything. Darius spoke again. " Quincy! Harrison! My office now!" With that he stormed toward his office.

Jude started to walk past SME who were smirking and Sadie and Kwest who looked worried for both Tommy and Jude. She was reaching the lobby, when she felt Tommy grab her hand. He smiled at her and they made their way to Darius' office. As they passed the lobby they got a few stares. Portia saw them holding hands and walking toward D's office. She smiled at them and Jude proceeded to knock shyly on the door before entering.

They sat down and waited for Darius to talk. " I wanted to talk about to you about Jude's album. But apparently there are more important things we need to discuss." Darius said looking at Tommy.

"D. I respect you a lot but Jude is 18 and what we do on own time is none of your business." Tommy said sternly.

"And I respect that T. But Jude is my artist and I want what is best for her."

"But she's my girl." Tommy said simply. Jude smiled at Tommy and squeezed his hand more firmly.

"Look. Tom. Jude. I know how these things go. I don't want things to get messy. You two make amazing music together and I don't want you mixing business with pleasure."

"We know what we're doing D." Jude said, speaking for the first time since she entered Darius' office.

"Fine. As long as nothing interferes with getting Jude's album out, I don't care what you two do on your spare time." He smiled. " So when are planning to tell the media?" Darius could tell by the look on their faces, it wouldn't be anytime soon. " You need to come out soon. Half of G-Major saw you coming in here holding hands and I'm sure I'm not the only one that heard Jude's outburst about your sex life."

Jude blushed a little at his last statement. "I guess we can have a press conference after we talk to my dad." Jude said looking at Tommy.

"Her dad! I had forgotten about that. Stuart is not going to be happy when he finds out I'm dating his youngest daughter." Tommy thought.

"It'll be ok. Not even my dad can keep me away from you." Jude whispered reassuringly in his ear.

Tommy smiled. Jude was the only person that could read his mind like that.

They left Darius office after they discussed the progress of her album and Portia was taking care of the details for the press conference.

Jude told her dad she needed to talk about something so, she invited Tommy over for dinner. Kwest and Sadie were there too.

They were all eating quietly at the dinner table when Mr. Harrison looked at both his daughters. All the silence was making him nervous. " Ok. So what is it that we all needed to talk about?" He said looking at his eldest daughter.

Sadie smiled at her dad. Then looked at Jude, signaling her to start talking. Stuart looked at Tommy, who appeared a bit uneasy. Jude and Tommy seemed to be looking at each other a lot throughout the dinner. Something Stuart didn't like too much.

"What ever it is just tell me. I won't be mad. Unless someone is pregnant." Stuart said looking a Jude.

Tommy choked on his water and looked over at Jude. She laughed and shook her head.

"Dad. No one is pregnant. Unless Tommy has something to say." She laughed, teasing him about choking on his water.

Kwest started to laugh, but stopped when Tommy sent him a death glare.

" I'm not pregnant." Tommy told the table.

" Dad. Tommy and I have been friends for a long time…" Jude started.

Stuart leaned back in his chair. He knew where this was going.

"And Tommy and I have always had a special connection. Musically and ….personally." Jude said the 'personally' a little quieter than she intended.

" Dad. What I'm trying to say is…"

"Jude. If you're trying to tell me your dating Tommy. Just say it." Stuart said bluntly.

Jude looked at her dad for a second. " Yeah. I am." She watched her fathers face intently. She was sure Stuart was going to flip out.

Stuart looked over at Sadie. " And you're ok with this?"

Sadie nodded her head and smiled at Tommy and Jude.

"Well. I don't agree with you dating Tommy. I mean he's a lot older than you. But your 18 and I think even if I was totally against it. You would do what you usually do. What ever the hell you want." Stuart said taking a sip of his wine.

"So we're ok?" Jude smiled.

Stuart just nodded his head. Jude jumped up and hugged her dad. "Thank you so much dad. I was so nervous. I didn't know how to tell you."

"That doesn't mean I'm happy." He said quietly.

Jude kissed her fathers cheek.

Stuart looked over at Tommy who looked relieved. " You two aren't having sex are you?" Stuart asked.

"Dad?!!" Jude shouted.

A few days later

Tommy and Jude were sitting in Tommy's house. "It feels so good to not be sneaking around anymore." Jude said in-between kisses with Tommy.

"Your dad doesn't know we're at my house instead of the movies. " Tommy pointed out.

"My dad doesn't have to know everything." She said nibbling at his earlobe.

Tommy smiled at Jude and kissed her firmly on the lips. He pushed Jude down on the couch with his weight. Jude smiled as she enjoyed the feel of Tommy's body on top of hers.

"Do you know that we haven't had sex since that day we fought." Tommy said kissing Jude's neck.

"So why are we still talking then?" She whispered in his ear. Jude began to lift Tommy's shirt over his head and he did the same to her.

Jude licked Tommy's bottom lip and he parted them to allow her to enter his mouth. Her tongue roamed freely in his. Jude's hands went to the button of his jeans. She pulled them down to his knees and watched him throw them carelessly on the floor next to the couch. She smiled when she felt his hardened member through the fabric of his boxers.

"Feels like you're ready for me Quincy." She said grabbing him through his boxers. He moaned her name as he felt her begin to stoke him slowly. She took her hand away and put her arms around his neck to pull him closer to her.

She started to unbutton her jeans but Tommy stopped her and took over the job. Jude lifted her hips up to allow Tommy to lower her jeans down past her knees and finally off her body to join Tommy's jeans on the floor. Tommy smiled down at her once he saw the lacy black thong she was wearing.

He continued to kiss her mouth while his hand found it's way to her left breast and fondled it though her lacy black bra. Jude moaned into Tommy's mouth. She gasped when she felt Tommy get harder which one of her moans.

Tommy lips left Jude's as he kissed his way down Jude's body, stopping when he got to her chest. He snaked his arms behind her to unhook her bra. She lifted her body up slightly off the couch to allow him to remove her bra completely off her. He wasted no time in attaching his mouth to her left nipple while his hand fondled her right breast.

Jude ran her hands through Tommy's hair and grabbed the back of his head, drawing him closer to her body. Tommy's mouth switched it's attention to her right nipple. Jude moaned Tommy's name. He ran his hand between them and down her stomach until he found her center. He could feel how wet she was though the thin fabric of her thong. He moved the fabric aside and let his finger enter her slowly. Tommy swirled his finger inside her, preparing her for him. He heard her labored breathing and took the chance to push a second finger into her. She arched her back, bringing his hand closer to her core. "Tommy. Please I need you inside me." She moaned.

He felt her begin to spill over his fingers. She was ready. He took his fingers out of her and licked them happily.

He hooked his fingers around the center of her thong roughly and pulled it off of her. Tommy smiled down at her as he admired how beautiful she looked under him. She was completely exposed to him and there wasn't hint of embarrassment in her features.

Jude grinned at him and grabbed the back of his neck, pulling his lips toward hers. She kissed him with all the passion that she had. She reached her hands to his waist and started to pull down his boxers. When they reached his knees he pulled them off the rest of the way.

Tommy continued to kiss Jude as his hand searched for his jean's pocket. She heard him swear under his breath. Jude disconnected their lips and brought her hands to grab the sides of his face.

" What's wrong?' She asked concerned.

"I…don't have condom. I'm going to have to go upstairs to get one." He said.

"You don't have to." She said simply.

He looked at her with a confused expression on his face. " Babe. I know you're on birth control, but that's not 100. We still need a condom."

Jude laughed. " I meant I have some in my purse. Quincy."

Tommy raised his eyebrow at her.

Jude rolled her eyes at him. " What you think you're the only one that carried around condoms?" She smiled as she saw him reach for her purse that was resting on the table near them.

He took a condom out of her bag and ripped it open with his teeth. He lifted himself off her and began to unroll the condom over himself.

She wrapped her legs around his middle and felt him at her entrance. She licked her lips in anticipation.

He entered her slowly. When he was completely inside her he stayed there for a while, enjoying the feeling of being inside her after so long.

Tommy began to push in and out of her at an even pace. Jude lifted her hips, meeting each one of his thrusts.

He buried his face in her neck and grabbed her left leg and put it on his right shoulder. Jude moaned at the wonderful feeling this new angle brought for her. Tommy ran his hands up and down her smooth leg.

Jude felt Tommy's thrusts get more urgent. She listened to his soft breathing, which was getting more strenuous with each passing moment.

She felt her walls begin to contract tightly around Tommy. Tommy groaned Jude's name against the soft skin of her neck.

He smiled when he heard her let out small screams of pleasure and he relished in the thought that he was the one that was causing them.

Jude arched her back as she felt herself spill all-around Tommy. A few plunges later Tommy joined her and collapsed on top of her.

He stayed inside her for a while. Reluctant to pull away from her. When he did pull out, he still stayed on top of her. The side of his face was resting comfortably on her chest. He watched as her chest rose and fell with each one of her breathes. She ran her fingers carelessly though his hair.

"I wish we could stay like this forever." She sighed deeply.

He looked up at her smiling face. " Me too girl." He lifted himself up to meet her lips. He kissed her softy and smiled.

" You ready for tomorrow?" He asked quietly.

She knew he meant the press conference. Darius had invited the press to G-Major, where Jude and Tommy would announce their relationship.

"As ready as I'll ever be." She sighed.

"We should get you home so you can rest up for tomorrow." He said as he got off of her.

Jude grinned back at him and stared to get dressed.
