Chapter 8: oh tommy
Jamie arrives at NBR sweating b/c he ran all the way from the coffee shop. When he enters the basement he stops and bends over with his hands on his knees, panting. Then he says:
So what was is that you couldn't handle-
(Jamie looked up from panting and saw pagan standing next to zepp) by...your...self...
Zepp: tah dah!( she says nervously) look who dropped by to say "hi"
Jamie: what is HE doing here?!
Zepp: I don't know he wouldn't tell me until you got back.
Jaime: Look i dont care to listen to ANYTHING you have to say. After you left me, your daughter, and NBR without a pot to piss in i never forgave you! And now you are NOTHING to me. Zepp is your daughter so if you wish to talk to her and see if she'll forgive you, be my guest. But i don't have to stay and listen to your crap! I'm Leaving and when i come back HE(he says looking at zepp and pointing at pagan) better be gone! Jaime storms off. As he leaves pagan says:
Pagan: I didn't leave my daughter she CHOSe to come back to you!
Zepp: Jaime wait!( she runs after jaime to the front of the house and grabs his arm) Where are you going.
Jaime: I don't know. I don't think i've ever been this mad before except....( oh be careful jaime you still haven't told zepp of your past role in the Jommy saga-which your last appearance in was the last time you felt this angry. and now wouldn't be the best time to tell your new beloved that last time you were this angry is when Jude didn't take you over tommy, you kissed her, she slapped you, you fell off the roof....and we know how the story ends.) I, I just don;t want to say something that i don't mean out of anger to hurt you right now. so just give me my space zepp. ( Then he speeds off in his car)
Zepps stands there in shock of everything and then calls Sadie for support and tells her everything that just happened.
Zepp: I'm really sorry to bother you with all of this. I know your in the middle of planning Jude's wedding and all. But ive never seen jaime upset like this. And know you've know him forever and you've been like a sister to me since Jude's been on tour. I didn't know who else to call. (At that moment JO was showing Sadie some Ribbon assortments. Sadie put up her pointer finger signaling to wait a minute and Jo continued with the consultant.)
Sadie Its okay no biggy.I'm always here to help you look Jamie's a rational guy. that's probably why he wanted to blow off some steam. He won't do anything crazy if anything he'll do alot of thinking. ANd who knows he might change his mind about listening to what Pagan has to say. What was it that he came back for anyway?
Zepp: I don't know Jaime blew up before he could say anything. I guess I'd better find out then.
Sadie: Call me when everything blows over?
Zepp: If your not too busy.
Sadie: I'm never to busy for a friend.
Both: Bye
(After zepp hung up the phone she went back in side. AS she came down the stairs of the basement she saw Pagan sitting on the couch with his head in his hands)

(Mean while back at the cafe Jude continues on the phone with Tommy)
Jude: Okay I refuse to think negatively about the situation. Sadie and Jude are two of the most capable and mature adults i know. they can handle anything. why not each other? If i radiate positivity its bound to go well right? i mean there is good Karma right?
Tommy: Have you met her?
Jude: HA HA Ha. very funny but not helpful!
Tommy: Okay im srry. How about i come meet you at the cafe to help get your mind off of things?
Jude: Now that's what i want hear! See you in ten?
Tommy: If i can survive that long.
Jude: What do you want me to order for you? I think the waiter is coming back soon.
Tommy: Surprise me.
Jude: So its the usual then?
Tommy: you know how i like it babe.
Jude: Okay i can't take anymore of these inuendos without seeing you. hurry up!
Tommy: I'm on my way.
(15 min later tommy's sports car screetches to a hault in front of the cafe. Jude folds her arms trying to pretend like she's angry. Then tommy gets out of the car and then walks to the other side of the car and takes out a full bouquet of flowers. Jude's insides melt and so does her body and facial expression. Tommy walks toward her in those same black aviators and leather jacket that he wore when he proposed in Italy. That same feeling suddenly came over Jude. When Tommy approaches her he leans over the gate and gives her the flowers. Jude takes the flowers, stands up, and wraps her arms around him. She is close enough to kiss him but she doesn't. She just gazes into his eyes)
Jude: you sure do make it hard for a girl to be mad at you now adayz.
Tommy Smiles almost blushing
Tommy: Now that's somthing that i'd never thought id never heard from you.
They both chuckle
Jude: I feel like i haven't seen you in forever!
Tommy: 13 hours will do that to ya!
Jude: Let's get outa here. I'm not really in the mood for lunch anymore.
Tommy: you don;t have to tell me twice!(he reachecs into his pocket and pulls some money out)Give the waiter a good tip we did kinda walk out on him.
Jude: gee you and this gentlmen stuff is gonna take some getting used to...but i like it! (Jude walks from her table towards the entrance to meet tommy. they never once shift their gaze from eachother. then she reaches the entrance and)
waiter: off so soon
Jude: don't worry we left you a good tip
waiter: So two dates in less then 30 min eh?
Jude: no haha you got it all wrong! the guy earlier was my best friend. HE, he is my fiance!
Jude struts to the entrance where tommy is standing, waiting for her. She wraps her arms around his neck and he does the same around her lower back. they stand like this for a couple of seconds lost in their own little world and then they passionately kiss{awwww} then when they stop they grab each others hand and walk to Tommy's car. In the car tommy drives with one hand on Jude's thigh and the other on the wheel.
Oh dairy! Does tommy take your breathe away like he takes away mine? I know I know i haven;t explained what happened with Sadie and Jo but i dont want to think about it. It much easier to basque in these beautiful moments and other people's issues then our own! Yeah yeah i know im reverting to the old jude but...I'm still on the floor of the dressing room of the bridal shop. Sadie and JO left hours ago. they gave up on trying to get me out. I think tommy called too but i was too engrossed in the story i was telling you to pick up. The people at the front say the store is closing and i really have to go now. How about this dairy: I'll tell you what really happened when i get home and then i'll deal with the problem okay? gotta love compromise right? hopefully the waring divas aren't home or at least not both of them.
