If there are any mistakes, know that I am doing this at one in the morning.
The next morning, Jude woke up with the feeling of being safe and warm. She looked over and remembered what had transpired last night. She didn't want to get up, she didn't have to get up, but the rational part of her mind told her that if she didn't get a shower soon, her hair wasn't going to dry in time for today's big meeting. She shifted slightly, trying to get out of Tommy's embrace. As she tried to get out, he unconsciously held her tighter. His eyes fluttered open and he sat up quickly because of his unfamiliarity with the situation.
"Hey," Jude spoke softly and kissed him even softer.
"Hey," Tommy replied, getting out of bed.
Jude held out a hand to stop him. "I have to go shower, but sleep in and when you get up, see London. I'll be back at 6:30 and we can have dinner at my favorite café. I'll have Rich call to have them close the place off around 6:45." Jude smiled inwardly at how cute he was with his hair tousled like it was.
"Ok," he muttered sleepily, and fell back on the bed, already sound asleep. Flying from Canada to London can do that to you, Jude mused silently.
When Jude got to the meeting, everyone was in the room already.
"Have a seat Jude," the man sitting at the head of the table said. He was old, like you would expect a successful businessman, but his face was softer than any businessman she had ever seen. "Jude, we need you to start recording your next album, since until now, you have been recording singles. You may come up with any title and the album may be any genre."
"Thank you so much!" Jude exclaimed happily. There was something more though, a catch.
"Jude, we have picked an assistant producer for you. His name is Jay Wilkonsin. He is the best in the biz and we are sure that you are going to like him. Also we are going to need you to pick a backup band because SME is not here. By the way, your backup band is going to have to be chosen by Monday, which is in three days," the old man's voice left no room for debate.
"Yes sir," Jude whispered quietly as she left the room. She was fuming on the inside. How could they do this to her? Pick her producer for her! She knew that she didn't want Tommy. She needed someone new to mix up her sound and Tommy was probably going to be busy with other things. But she should have been able to pick her own producer. And a new backup band! She was expecting this, but to find a band that she had chemistry within three days, that was asking the impossible. It took over a week for them to find SME. What was so going to do?
She finished mixing another new song around 6:00, which gave her just enough time to go back home to get Tommy and be at the café for their dinner date by 6:45.
