Chapter 6: The Long Awaited Meeting (Sort of)

Jude POV Toronto Airport

I love airports. Loved ones get to see each other after a given period of time and are finally reunited. And there's that one perfect moment when all wrong doings are forgotten, and it's just you and that one person.

That's how it felt when I saw Tommy step out of the terminal. Still beautiful as ever. I know it's only been a few days, but you'd be amazed at how much you can miss someone you're used to seeing everyday.

He's looking for me! I can tell. He's scanning the room, ha. He found me. Should I run to him? Nah. Too cliché. I'll just keep my spot next to the ever sulky Kwest and smile brightly.

"Hey," he says stopping directly in front of me.

"Hi," I reply still sitting.

"Get your butt over here girl," he says pulling me up into a hug.

I get lost in his arms every time. His scent is like my drug. It's the perfect mix of Curve and leather. Right here, right now, in this moment, any possible resentment or anger I have towards him, is gone and replaced with pure love.

Love.

I think I really do love him. Shh. Don't tell.

"Harrison, I've got to breathe at some point." He's such a guy. Way to kill the moment Tom.

"Ahem." For the first time I noticed the guy that was with Tommy. "Aren't you going to introduce me?" Stranger boy said with a nudge and a wink to Tommy.

I don't know if he was winking to Tommy because he knows something that I don't about our relationship, or if he did it because he thinks I'm a "fine young thang" as Spied once put it. Seems random, but on tour last summer, Wally and I were talking to this roadie named Lisa. Spied came up to us and did the exact same thing stranger man just did. Spied ended up hooking up with Lisa. Need I say more about the wink and nudge? Whatever. As hot as stranger guy is, I have Tommy. At least I think I do.

"Um, yea. Jude, this is my younger brother Dane. Dane, this is my girl Jude," Tommy says with his arm suddenly around my shoulder. Territorial much? I definitely have him. "And Dane you and Kwest already know each other."

"Kwest man! How are you?" Dane said turning his attention away from me, holding his hand out to Kwest.

Kwest just stares blankly.

"Dane. It's nice to see you. You're riding with me, and Jude's taking Tommy. Let's go." Kwest still hasn't gotten out of his mood. That's the most he's said since I saw him this morning, besides a few grunts here and there. Tommy looks a little sad.

"Can we catch up later?" Tommy asks Kwest a little hopeful. He looks like a wounded puppy, if I do say so myself.

"Whatever. Let's just go," he said turning away. "I'll drop Dane off at the apartment around 8." And with that he was gone, with a nervous looking Dane trailing behind.

"Don't take too much offense," I said putting my arm around Tom, "he's been like this all day." He took his arm off of me. I feel cold. I'm pathetic.

"I'll deal with it later I guess. He's probably upset with me about Leslie." He's so sad. Anyone can see it if they look in his eyes. "For right now though, I think I just want to go home and relax." He picked up his carry-on and put his arm around me again. This time with an added kiss to my cheek. Inwardly I'm like a giggly five year old. I've got to keep my composure though. Easier said than done. I've got to be blushing like crazy.

"Want to come with me and watch a movie or something?"

"That's the best offer I've had all day Quincy."

"So you've had many offers?"

"Duh. I am Jude Harrison, of course I've had offers. Being number one can have that kind of effect on a girl."

"And I have an ego."

I gave him a light hearted push, and off we went.
