After a couple hours, holing herself up in her rehearsal space, Jude came back to G-Major, happier than she'd been in awhile. Eying Kwest, her new producer, talking to the infamous Tommy Q, her old producer, she decided now was the time.
Jude walked behind the pair and smacked both of Kwest's shoulders, making him jump. "Kwest, my buddy, my pal, my friend. Wanna help a girl finish and record a song? Oh wait, that'd be your JOB! So let's get to crackin'." And with that Jude mimicked the sound of a whip cracking, only to see Kwest look a little scared.
"Um, I was having an adult conversation until you arrived, but seeing as they let the circus out, what the ringleader says goes, I guess." Kwest replied.
Jude knew she was in charge. "Damn straight, Skippy."
"So what do you got?" Kwest wondered.
Jude wasn't about to talk music in front of Quincy, so she said, "I'll tell you once we get in the studio."
Not telling Kwest only made him more curious. "You can't just tell me now?"
Breathe Jude, Breathe, Jude told herself.
"It's called So Damn Clever and that's all you get." She said matter-of-factly, turning to the studio that she and Kwest shared.
"That's my cue. Talk to you later, T." Kwest and Tommy bumped fists.
Knowing Kwest and Jude were going make music together, Tommy knew he needed to get a move on as well. "Yeah, I gotta start Karma's new single."
Kwest couldn't help himself. "I heard it, sounds pretty familiar, you know. Some kids did a duet with it, Shay and JUDE?! Ring a bell?"
"Yeah yeah, I got it. But this about Karma, not Jude."
I'll believe it when I see it, Kwest muttered to himself.
"You wanna speak louder, man? I'm not a mind reader," Tommy said, telling Kwest that his thoughts weren't as quiet as he thought they were.
"I know and I was just saying, it's ALWAYS about JUDE."
"Whatever, man. I'm not having this conversation." Tommy tried to throw the thoughts away.
"In due time, man." Kwest said, turning his back on Tommy, walking to the studio that Jude already inhabited.
