She ran into the apartment shouting, "Tommy, it's time to go!"
She heard Tommy's voice shout, "I'll be there in a minute."
When he walked out of her bedroom, she was shocked at what she saw. He was wearing his dark jeans and his favorite shirt with his jean jacket on top of it. That was nothing compared to what actually shocked her; when she looked inside the open bedroom door, she saw clothes everywhere. There was not one inch of floor or bed that didn't have clothes all over it. Shirts, jackets, pants, shoes, there was everything. He had raided her closet. She looked farther in to see her underwear drawer open with its contents on the dresser. This was going to take her hours to clean up and Tommy stood there grinning like an idiot.
"Let's go Harrison." He walked over to her and gave her a hug, pretending like nothing had happened. Noticing the look on her face, he gave her the lost puppy dog look and she caved in, taking his hand and pulling him out of the apartment and into her limo.
When they got there, the restaurant was closed off to everyone but them. People who had heard that the infamous Jude Harrison was going to be at Café Parteir were waiting outside the door when the limo pulled up. When they saw her and Tommy, they screamed and flashed autograph books in their faces. When she looked closer at the audience her arrival was attracting, she saw people from the press taking pictures of her and Tommy. No doubt they were going to be tomorrow's headline, Jude realized with a sinking feeling in her stomach.
She finished signing autographs and walked into the empty café. She sat down at one of the tables and Tommy sat across from her looking at her lovingly.
"I am so overwhelmed! The owner of the record company decided that we were going to start making my new album, which is great, but they are giving me a producer, which they picked for me. I mean, I want some choice in who I'm going to be working with for the next few months."
Tommy let out a loud breath and said, "I was expecting something like this. People from your company have had a history of doing things like this."
The waiter came to take their drink orders.
"They also want me to have a backup band picked out by Monday. Three days!! That's all we have to pick out a band that will be with me for a long time," Jude finished angrily.
"Well Jude, I guess we should finish our dinner and find you a backup band," Tommy said with a smile on his face.
"You think we can do it in time?" Jude questioned, unsure.
"Of course."
Will they be able to do it in time? Find out in the next chapter.
