It's been like three hours since I've been home and already Tommy has called me 226 times, and I am not kidding. Shay called me 6 times then stopped, but Tommy's just keep slowing in like water. It's starting to get ridiculous… But I have to say it makes me feels somewhat loved.
You're probably wondering why I haven't turned my cell phone off. Well I am waiting for a call from Sadie, she is coming home tonight and she is going to call a half hour before she gets here. So basically I am stuck listening to my cell ring over and over and over.
It's funny though… Every time he calls he never leaves a message. He is so weird sometimes.
Yes, I do realize I said I missed him before, but that was a short brain laps. I don't actually miss him and I don't actually want to talk to him.
"RIING, RIING!" Ha, that's him again… Maybe I will answer this time just to humor him.
"Hel-lo?" I say sounding pissed off.
"Oh thank God. I thought something had happen to you." He takes a long sigh of relief.
"Well… I would have turned off my cell phone the first million times you called me, but I am waiting for Sadie to call, so I can't." There is an awkward silence… As if he is trying to think something over.
"Hmm… Why didn't she just call your home phone?" He asks.
"I- Uh… Hmm… That's… What I was going to do but I... Just didn't." Yeah I know that was a lie, but I really should have thought of that myself… But I won't let him know that I didn't.
"Right… Well, uh, Sadie is coming home?" He asks, sounding slightly uncomfortable.
"Yeah, what do you figure your going to tell her you still love her too?" I snap bitterly.
"Jude… No… I wouldn't- Can we talk?" He says desperately. Yet when is he not desperate.
"Did we not just talk at the studio? Hello, where we're you?"
"Yeah, but that was hours ago and you sort of ran out. Please can you just meet me somewhere?" Hmm… Let's go with… NO!
"Let me think about that…" Pause, pause, pause. "NO… Talking over the phone is fine. So deal with it or hang up." Dammmmmmn! I am getting so good at being bitchy!
"Okay, over the phone is fine." He starts. "Look… I am so sorry if I hurt you before, it wasn't intentional. I wanted to tell you so bad that I love you, but knew I couldn't… Then you we're walking away and it just slipped out. I'm not lying, if that's the reason you ran off." He takes a deep breath and waits for me to say something.
"I didn't run off because I thought you were lying. If you didn't notice your insane wife was standing only feet behind me. I ran because you put my in serious danger." So that wasn't the whole truth, but he doesn't have to know the other part, that will be our little secret.
"Oh… You didn't come back out so- Hey wait, Jess isn't insane! What the hell are you talking about?"
So lets look at this- He went for what seemed like an oncoming apology to yelling at me.
"Hah, okay." I laugh, my words dripping with sarcasm.
"What has she ever done to you?" Tommy asks getting all defensive.
"Hmm… She threatens me, and hello married you." I probably should have left that last part out and added in something else.
"Are you jealous?" That sounds like somewhat of a challenge.
"No, Quincy, don't get full of yourself, it's not good for your self image." I smile to myself, remembering when he said that to me three years ago.
"Well, I am sure glad, if what you are saying is true, that Jess is filing for a divorcé tomorrow. I don't want to be stuck with someone insane." Whoa! He is getting another divorcé? That's definitely what I though was going to happen. This is totally messed up.
"Oh… Tommy you dork! I thought you were mad at me for calling her insane. God your so…" I trail off.
"Lovable?" He says.
"Not exactly… She had a good point though. I'd dump you if you did that to me. Tommy, what the hell are you listening to?" I ask, hearing what sounds like "Sexyback" in the background.
"Oh." The music stops. "Nothing." Ha, he comes off to me as gay sometimes. "So, Jude, you know I wouldn't ever do what I didn't mean to do to Jess, right?"
"Cool, too bad you're not unmarried yet." I spit out.
"Well, not yet." He says in a sort of dark and mysterious voice.
I can tell by the way he is hinting that he wants to get together again. How male is that? Who does he think he is Brad Pitt? No, I'm just kidding Brad Pitt is weird. What I meant was he can't just have anyone he wants at the blink of an eye. Ugh.
"Well if there isn't anything else you want to tell me… Then…" I trail off hoping he understands what I am trying to imply.
"Uh, hold on." He says. Why is he stalling? Does he think if we hang up I won't ever answer the phone again? Well… I might not, but that's a different story.
BEEP
I look at the phone and Sadie is on the other line.
"Tommy, I have to go, Sadie is on the other line. I'll call you later. Well, I'll try." Please just don't make this hard, Tommy.
"Can't you just go to the other line then come back over to mine?" He's a loser; I have to say he really is.
"No, I have to go. Talk to you later. Goodnight Tommy." I say hanging up and switching to the other line.
"Hey, Sadie."
"Hey. I'll be home in a half hour. Oh and Jude, do you mind that I brought someone with me?" Ha, that's just like Sadie to bring an unexpected guest home.
"No, I don't mind. See you later." –Click-
No one says goodbye anymore. Well I can't really include Tommy in that 'because I didn't really give him the chance to say goodbye. But like everyone else hangs up before me, and it's starting to bother me.
"RIING, RIING." If that's Tommy calling back I will yell at him for being a stalker.
"Van Volkenburg?" I say to myself quietly.
Oh yeah, that's Landon. How did he get my number?
"Hello?" I answer.
"Hi Jude, its Landon, I hope you don't mind me calling." He says sounding a little uneasy.
"No, I don't mind… But how did you get my number?"
"Oh… Um, Kwest… Yeah, yeah Kwest gave it to me." Does Kwest just give my number to anyone? I'm going to have to talk to him about this.
"Mm. Okay. So what do you need?" I ask.
"I was um… Wondering if you maybe want to go see a movie sometime?" Aw that's sweet, he is asking me out. But I think I'm going to pass on this one.
"I would love to, but I don't think it's such a good idea." That was kind of mean. Oh well.
"Oh I see, am I not good enough for you?" He snaps.
"No, no… I just see us better as friends. That's not what-"
"Oh, don't worry Jude, I get it." He pauses. "Je vous obtiendrai pour ceci. Regarder votre miel arrière. Je suis partout." Whoa he can speak French?
"You can speak French?" I say before I realize he hung up.
Did I hurt his feelings? What the hell did he say to me? Oh whatever that isn't too important right now, I will deal with that later.
Now I have to get back to trying to opening my locket…
Wait where is my locket!
