Chapter IV
The Instant Dating Game
Wishin' and Hopin'
"Hey Kwest!" Jude and Tom both say as he comes in. "Hey guys! Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" Kwest replies. They look at each other silently trying to ignore his Kwest's question. He notices the silence, but decides to shrug it off and thinks quietly to himself 'Do those two think I'm an idiot, I know what they most likely did in here I just refuse to say and even think about it. Eww!'
Tommy speaks up, "So Harrison, ya got anything to record?" "Yes I do. I wrote it this morning," she replies. Jude takes the paper out that she had written the lyrics on earlier in hospitality. "Ok, get in there!" Tom says with delight, knowing that she always comes up with something good. Jude walks into the sound proof booth plugs her guitar into the amp.
Note: Here is the original artist of the song. Yes, I know I went way, way back for the music. Go back to Jude's conversation with Mason in Ch. 2 and you see why I chose this song. Now if you know the song, good. Imagine it your head the beat of this song, she sings it kind of hard but on the "Wishin' and Hopin'" choruses she sings it a bit softer like in the original song, but all the other parts are faster, upbeat and rock tempo.
Wishin' and Hopin' Ani Di Franco, My Bestfriend's Wedding
"What's the title Jude?" Tom asks. "Wishin' and Hopin'" Tom counts down…."Wishin' and Hopin'" Jude Harrison, take 1 and 3…2…1…" He points to Jude to begin and starts out with a quick intro instrumental.
Jude starts out softly
Wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' each night of his charms.
That won't get you into his arms
The beat changes to an upbeat rock tempo, then Jude sings the verse faster
So if your're looking for love you can share
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and love him,
And show him that you care.
Jude makes eye contact with Tommy hoping he listens to this verse.
Show him that you care, just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause,
You won't get him, thinkin' and a prayin',
Wishin' and hopin'.
Jude's voice softens again
'Cause wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' his kisses will start.
That won't get you into his heart!
As Jude sings this verse she stares deeply at Tom and thinks about their action earlier. She licks her lips purposely and Tom picks up his ice cold bottle of water to cool himself down. Jude notices and smiles.
So if you're thinking how great true love is
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.
Beat changes to an upbeat rock tempo, then Jude sings the verse faster
You gotta show him that you care just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause,
You won't get him, thinkin' and a prayin',
Wishin' and a hopin'.
Jude's voice softens again
'Cause wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' his kisses will start.
That won't get you into his heart!
Jude belts this last verse out.
So if you're thinking how great true love is!
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.
You will be his.
You will be his!
"And cut!" Tom speaks into the mic after the 5th take in the past 3-1/2 hours. Jude smiles and asks with anticipation, "Finally! So how was it?" "That was great Big Eyes!" He compliments back. "Sounds like a hit to me! We'll get the guys in here to add some more beats, mix it and then give it to Darius by the end of the day." Kwest adds in. "Thanks guys! I'll see ya later! I'm going to lunch with Mason." "Bye Red!" Kwest shouts out from the booth as he sets up for SME later.
As Jude prepares to leave the studio, Tommy gets up from his seat walks up behind her and wraps his arms around her petite frame…"I loved your song, girl!" Tom says softly in her ear, nuzzling into the crook of her neck where he places tender wet kisses. "Thanks!" Jude replies with a smile and granting him a little more contact. Kwest quietly surveys their movements from the booth making a mental note for later. "So do I get anything before you leave for recording your song?" Tommy questions her with a slight hint. "I don't know, do you?" She reacts with a grin and slowly turns around in his arms. She brings her right hand up to his neck and pulls out his necklace and Tommy reproduces her actions. They join their temples and Jude connects her mouth to his, Tommy glides the tip of his tongue between her lips requesting for entry. Jude pulls him in closer with the back of his neck and permits his action and gives her tongue to him as well. Tommy responds by tightening his grip around her waist. They stroke each other with pleasure as they satisfy their hunger with that one kiss. They pull apart panting for air. Tommy steps back and Jude walks out of the studio without a word, just a wave good bye till they meet again later after lunch.
