Chapter 20: Day Two (Where You Are-Video-The Bet is Still On)
It is now the beginning of day two and I successfully made it through day one, I don't know how but I did. Tommy is good, I'll give him that. He tried everything he could to make me break the bet and it didn't work. I still could break the bond between us because I was wrapped in his arms all night while I was sleeping.
So now, I well we are waiting on a call from Darius for the video shoot. I got a call last night and the director loved my concept. He even found a way to make it work, which was utterly amazing. He said that we would talk more, when we got on set. So now I am sitting here on the couch in my new home bored completely out of my mind, while I was listening to my iPod.
"Jude you heard anything yet?" Tommy said from behind me, it made me jump a little.
"Nope, not a thing." I said, putting both ear buds back in my ears.
"I don't see how you could with that music blaring as loud as it was." He said.
"Oh hush Quincy. I can't help it that I'm keeping the bet going." I said.
"Ugh, Jude to be honest I didn't expect you to last this long." He groaned.
"Well then get used to it. Who knows, I might make it last longer just to torture you more." I said lying down on the couch.
"You wouldn't dare." He said. He moved and he lied down on top of me pinning my body under his. I could smell his cologne.
"Oh I would." I said. He leaned into kiss me and I ducked my head out of the way.
"Damn it. I almost got you." He said getting off of me.
"What can I say, I want to win." I said. I heard the phone ring and I grabbed it.
"Hello."
"Is this Jude Harrison?" The man asked.
"Yes, this is she."
"This is Paul Wilson, your music video director. I need you and Mr. Quincy down at the docks ASAP." He said.
"Alright, give us ten minutes to get down there. Where exactly are you?" I asked.
"The warehouses just behind the docks meet me in warehouse 44."
"Alright, we will be right there." I said.
"Who was it?" Tommy asked when I walked away from the phone back to the couch.
"Video director, we need to get down to Warehouse 44 behind the docks pronto." I said running to put on my boots. I heard Tommy get up off the couch and slid his shoes and jacket on. I heard him grab the keys and I met him at the door.
We got in the Porsche and drove as fast as we could without breaking the speed limits. I wasn't in a particularly good mood today, mainly because I was in PMS mode real bad. When we got there Tommy and I were dragged to separate location for hair, wardrobe and make-up.
"Hi, I'm Angel and I will be doing your make-up and wardrobe today Ms. Harrison." She said pulling me down into a chair.
I was uncomfortable enough because some stranger was working on me none the less that I was used to Portia and/or EJ both hovering over me. I guess since they were out of town for the day that I was stuck with someone new. I knew that Tommy was used to it, and that he didn't mind people poking and prodding him. I knew I pissed her off because I was fidgeting and moving like nuts.
"Ms. Harrison, I really need you to stay still." I heard the door open and some very sexy, probably gay guy walked in the room.
"Jude, my name is Aaron and I will be doing your hair today." He said, I was right he was gay I could tell by his voice and the fact that his style sense was better than EJ's.
"Hi" I said. He began working immediately. He didn't really have that much to do. He just curled my hair a little bit. I tried not to fidget as much but, I didn't succeed.
"Ms. Harrison, please stop it or else you might get burnt." He said.
"Sorry, I'm not used to two people working on me at one time." I said.
"What are you talking about?" They both asked.
"Well, I'm used to one person doing everything and I'm not used to this much confusion over everything." I said.
"Who does it all?" Angel asked.
"Either Portia Mills or EJ Williams." I said.
"Oh you got the good at G-Major." Aaron said.
"Yeah, sorry I just have to get used to this." I said.
"Well, then we will work with you." They both said in unison.
"How much longer will we be?" I asked.
"Well, as a matter of fact we're done now." She said, they backed away and I looked awesome.
My hair was perfectly curled and my make-up was awesome. My eyes had a lot or black eyeliner which I loved, and this fuchsia and turquoise eye shadow mixed together that made my blue eyes sparkle. My cheeks had a little blush and my lips had this peach and pink gloss and lipstick on it. I was amazed; this girl was good really good.
"Alright, I sense that you like you're make-up and now you can go over to wardrobe." She said steering me out of the door and over into the next curtain. I walked in and Tommy was standing there.
"What are you doing in here?" I asked him.
"Well, I won't see you for a while so I wanted to talk to you." He said.
"You don't have that affect on me anymore Quincy. I am over it now." I said.
"I don't think so Harrison." He said moving closer to me. His face was barely an inch from mine. I moved out of the way as he leaned in.
"I told you Quincy you don't have that affect on me now."
"Well damn."
"Hey help me find something to wear." I said.
"Alright, hold on a minute." He said.
He took about five minutes trying to find the perfect thing for me to wear and finally I think he did. He pulled out a pair of light low rise flare denim jeans with rips and holes in them and this navy blue half-hoodie with a white wife beater as the undershirt. Then for shoes he just pulled a simple pair of converse out.
"Try this." He handed the clothes to me and I came out. He looked at me and I knew it was perfect.
"How long have you been in here?"
"Well about five minutes before you came in. It didn't take me that long before I found clothes and then I waited for you." He said.
"So you were in here all this time just for me?" I asked him.
"Yep, I wanted to see you." He proudly said.
"Wow, I've never had do anyone do that for me" I said.
"That just shows how much I love you." He said.
"Don't you dare even think of leaning in to kiss me." I said.
"Dang it" He said.
"Ms. Harrison, Mr. Quincy are you both ready?" I heard Angel call.
"On our way." I yelled. I grabbed his hand and he followed me out of the room.
"Wow, you both look spectacular." Aaron and Angel said together. They grabbed us and took us to the director.
"So I see you both are ready to go." He said.
"Yes, we are." Tommy said.
"Alright, Tommy I assume you have seen the concept that Jude has done?" He asked.
"Of course."
"Ok, you will be in a hotel room at the beach." Then he looked at me. "Jude, you will be in the hotel room in they city where it's snowing. Understand?" He asked.
"Alright." I said.
"The video will start off with you both walking through the airport and you both will say goodbye then you both will walk and get on your planes and that's when you'll start singing. Do you have to idea?" He asked us.
"Yes." We both said in unison.
"Alright people, lets get this video rolling." He yelled. We walked towards the warehouse that was the airport and we got into place.
"ACTION!" the director yelled.
I latched onto Tommy's hand and we walked towards the camera. I looked up at him and I kissed his forehead. When we got to the place where we were supposed to part our ways and I kissed him on the lips. I knew that this was going to cost me the bet and I didn't care, it was a show for the camera. The director looked at us and we parted our ways.
"AND CUT!" He yelled. "Alright, let's get set up for the plane scene." He said.
Tommy and I were escorted to the warehouse where we were going to do the first singing scene. I was seated a few seats in front of Tommy and we were looking at each other and smiling. The director was getting furious so we both stopped.
"ALRIGHT AND ACTION!" He yelled. I looked at Tommy one last time before the music started. I was the first to sing.
There
are times
I swear I know you're here
When I forget about my
fears
Feeling you my dear
Watchin over me
And my hope
seeks
What the future will bring
When you wrap me in your
wings
And take me
Where you
are
Where you and I will breathe together
Once again
We'll
be dancing in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll
be smilin back at me
Only then will I be free
When I can
be
Where you are
"AND CUT" He yelled. "Tommy let's start with you." He said. The music started up and Tommy began to sing.
And I can see
your face
Your kiss I still can taste
Not a memory erased
Oh,
I see your star
Shining down on me
And I'd do anything
If I
could just
Be right there:
Where you are
Where
you and I will breathe together
Once again
We'll be dancing in
the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin
back at me
Only then will I be free
When I can be
Where you
are
"AND CUT!" He said. "Alright let's do the chorus with both of you singing." He said. So this time Tommy and I were singing together.
Where you are
Where
you and I will breathe together
Once again
We'll be dancing in
the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin
back at me
Only then will I be free
When I can be
Where you
are
"Cut. Let's move onto the hotel scenes now." He said. Tommy and I got up and we went back to wardrobe to get changed for the next scenes.
"Looks like someone has to hand over her journal when we get home," he said.
"Ugh, you got me Quincy, might I add you it was for the good of the video." I said.
"I know, and that makes it even more hilarious." He said. I gave him my evil look and he just looked away.
I went in to wardrobe and I changed into some pajama pants, a wife beater and a house coat with slippers. I walked back out and the set looked amazing. It looked like a real hotel. I was handed a cup of coffee and it was steaming. They motioned for me to go over to where the window was and stare out of it. I heard the music start and I began to sing.
There
are times
I swear I know you're here
When I forget about my
fears
Feeling you my dear
Watchin over me
And my hope
seeks
What the future will bring
When you wrap me in your
wings
And take me
Where you

Where you and I will breathe together

We'll

Just like we used to do
And you'll
be smilin back at me
Only then will I be free
When I can
be
Where you are
"AND CUT!" The director yelled. I walked over to the set where Tommy was and I just looked at him. He was wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of jeans.
"ACTION!" Mr. Wilson yelled.
And I can see
your face
Your kiss I still can taste
Not a memory erased
Oh,
I see your star
Shining down on me
And I'd do anything
If I
could just
Be right there:
Where you are
Where
you and I will breathe together
Once again
We'll be dancing in
the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin

Only then will I be free
When I can be
Where you
are
"FINAL CUT FOR THE DAY" he yelled. I was glad it had taken five hours for the video to some into place and there was still another day. I went back to change into my other clothes and Tommy came up behind me.
"You almost ready?" He asked.
"Almost, let me get my jacket on." I said. I tugged on my jacket and we walked out of the warehouses hand in hand.
"Tommy, Jude we need you back here at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon to finish shooting." He said.
"We'll be here." I said and we walked out.
We spent the entire car ride in silence and I was worried that he was thinking of some scheme to get back at me. I new it was never good when Tommy looked at you and smiled. I was just waiting for him to try something.
"What is it Quincy? What are you planning?" I asked him as the car rolled into the parking garage.
"What makes you think I'm up to something?"
"That look you have on your face." I pointed out to him.
"I'm just happy that I won the bet." He said. He went into the bedroom and shut the door.
