Chapter 5: Jude's Fruition Part 2
I'm posting early in honor of Jonathan Cheechoo's 27th birthday. Yes, I'm nuts! I can't help it I celebrate my Nerdiness Master's Birthday.
Part two of Jude's side of the story. Usually when I finish a part of the story I post it right away, since I'm on the computer everyday; I have to read the Eclipse quote of the day!
Also there has been a change, the song I was going to use in the last chapter has been put in this one. Had a last minute burst on inspiration, and I wanted to use a song from Instant Star.
Disclaimer is on my profile page.
I sat in the table at the restaurant with SME, Sadie, Johnny, and Jamie. Johnny to my left and Sadie to my right. And I really can't tell you who was sitting across from me. I was so absorbed in my thoughts. It could have been Wally, his hair isn't easy forget when you see it everyday.
"Hey Jude," I wanted to slap him for that one but settled for glaring at my beloved Johnny. Yes, that was pure sarcasm. I then give him a 'what do you want' look, I want to be alone. I need to think. But that won't happen when I'm stuck here. Why couldn't I have a car that works. Kwest backed into it, you'd think my Mustang could take that hit.
I don't have any luck sometimes. Specially with guys, we won't go into that either.
"Um, I was wondering what's up with you? You were quiet the whole ride here. I know that's not normal for you, because Sadie kept looking at you like you had a third eye." True, I was really excited for Johnny to come, then I'm all Bella after Edward left. Zombified.
"I was just thinking about what you said, you know the whole Tommy thing. Why is it I'm the only one who's unsure about his feelings for me?" I tried to keep my voice down but that just made everyone lean in to hear what we were saying. If I wanted to tell you I would have spoken up. I'm surrounded by the nosiest people in Toronto.
I should ask Sadie if she writes for those Jude rumor sites, yes I read them. What? If someone was writing some really funny crap about you, don't tell me you won't be curious at all. They have been getting crazy accurate lately and I don't think anyone in SME or for that fact, half of the G-major staff could write like that.
Even if I ask she won't tell me the truth. I'll just have to look through her computer. Damn it, I forgot she has a password. It will just take me longer but I'll know soon enough. Then I'll kill her.
"It because you've been hurt by him in the past," Sadie, ever ready to butt into other peoples conversations. What does she think I haven't reflected on the whole Heartbreak Hotel thing? She earned a glare as well, come on I'm the one who lived (barely) through the fiasco and she had a part in it, her and the obsession of having an ex-boy bander.
"Dude," Spied moved his hand in a way to tell me to calm down. What is this make Jude glare day? He knows just as much as Sadie, not to bring up my horrible Tommy past up. I finally forgave her and then they bring it up again.
"Dude, what do you mean you're the only one unsure about his feelings for you? I not sure either," thats comforting coming from Kyle. Wally nods in agreement. This is seriously glaring Jude day. Or sarcasm day, take your pick.
"Come on Jamie, we haven't heard from you about this subject. I know how much you have to say about this," I might as well hear from everyone, even though they know shit about the situation.
I kinda left out the whole seeing Tommy naked part, well only half naked I never did see the front half. My mind goes back to that night at his house.
"Jude are you okay?" I'd tell you who said that if I knew myself. It was either Jamie or Sadie. You know they sound similar.
"Huh, what?" I look around at everyone, "I spaced out again didn't I?" They all nod at me and try to figure out what was going on in my brain. They obviously don't want to know.
I would never hear the end of it. Tommy will always bring it up, I did it again. He's a bad influence, he should realize I'm an impressionable young girl and should watch what he says around me.
"I said, 'you'll hear nothing from me'," I nod and move on I can see Jamie's jealousy, its not as good as Tommy's.
"What about you Johnny? You started all this in the car," he should be ready for my attack for putting me in this position. Even though right now I'll I can think about is how Tommy was thinking about putting me in... I just leave it at that. It was so obvious that day in the kitchen.
Inspiration has struck again. I excuse myself from the table to call Kwest to have him meet me early again. Then I run out to Spied's car for paper, I can't lose this song, it could clinch what I need Tommy to say to me.
After I get most of the rough copy done, I asked Johnny to take me home and get there as quickly as humanly possible.
It was after midnight when I passed out with Sadie next to me on the bed. Spied practically had his head in my lap. Kyle was leaning against the bed and Wally was in the door way sprawled out on his stomach, he didn't even make it all the way in the room. I think Kwest was still on the phone when we were all asleep.
Where Johnny was, I have no clue, but my room was full and he has a fear of too many people near him. I think I heard Sadie's door open after I felt someone stroke my hair.
I woke up before the butt-crack of dawn again and since SME stayed over they took me to the studio. Wally and Kyle were passed out in the back seat. I wish I could get a picture of them all snuggled up together, it would make good, no great, blackmail.
I could see one of my co-conspirator in his chair with his eyes closed. I'm so grateful for him, he's helped me so much over the past few days. I'll have to take him and sis out to lunch soon. Of course I'll be broke after he's done eating. I'm too sentimental when I don't sleep.
I wasn't like this when I got back from my first tour, but it could be because I'm in love with Tom again.
Vinny Boy was looking over the lyrics Kwest and, seriously shocking, Sadie helped me write. He raised an eyebrow at me when he was finished. We busted out laughing, this is the complete oppositeness of me.
Kwest took care of most of the melody himself. He was finished when I walked back in with coffee for him.
"You're done?" I was shocked, he was trying very hard to keep his eyes open, and gave me a sleepy smile. I kissed his cheek and pushed him out the door so he could go sleep before he actually had to work. I looked over to see a SME pile on the floor, thats the only time they look sweet.
I didn't really mind kicking them awake, they've done it to me before. I had to drag them to the car and I drove back to my house to also get some much need sleep.
"Dude, wake up!" Is Spied in my bed again? I open my eyed to a bright light streaming through my window. Glancing at my clock I spring out of bed and run to the bathroom.
I'm walking to the studio and I see Tommy with a very annoyed expression. He won't be annoyed with me for long, not when I'm done with him.
He says I have to wait for Kwest before I start recording, so I make myself as comfy as I can. I'm looking down so he can't see how nervous I am, I try to keep a blank face.
I guess it got too awkward because he's asking me about the song, there's not much to say, it speaks for itself.
"I was very inspired," and I walked to the booth. I couldn't help saying that, I want him to be squirming in his seat again.
I wrote the song to tell him how much I wanted him. I made sure there was nothing subtle about the song.
The music started and I wait for my cue. To add a bit more pressure to him I looked straight at him as I bega. And to keep the mystery I turn my attention elsewhere, plus I now realizing this song could be heard by millions of people. Itsonly meant for the one I'm singing to.
I was really getting into the song. I couldn't help but dance and imagine Tommy's hands wandering over my body.
My eyes are hardly opened but I'm watching them. I think Tommy wanted to maim his best friend there for a minute. He's hypnotized by my actions, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I make sure I get my point across with a smile. I never knew Tommy was this easy, in one way I did but to rile him up like that. Almost too easy.
Uh oh, he's thinking, never a good sign. I really want to take that as a good sign, but this is Tommy. I can't always catch a break with him.
I could see his serious demeanor as I stepped out of the booth. His eyes piercing mine, made my knees weak. It took all I had to walk over as he held my hand and sat me in the chair across from his. I grew anxious as the words fell from his lips.
"Jude we need to talk." I try to breathe normally, is this it? I thought I would be ready for this be I don't know if I can handle this.
I try to sound as calm as I can, "Okay, what about?" I don't think my oblivious act will work right now. It wasn't always an act.
"We'll talk soon but first I want you to hear something. It seems Kwest has been working over time for both of us."
He was helping Tommy?! He didn't say anything, and when did he have time to do that? I thought I took up all of Kwest extra time, except when he disappeared for a couple hours with Sadie. Unless he didn't need all that time with my sis and then came to help with whatever this is.
I turned my attention back to him as he started the disc. The music was very evocative to the 70's. I didn't think he could do that style. That would explain why I heard him singing Stevie Wonder.
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever I get you next to me
It's gonna be good, don't you know
From your head to your toe
Gonna love you all over
Over and over
Me into you, you into me, me into you
I am so into you
I am so into you
When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly, yeah
Hoping you'll get into me
I am so into you
I can't get to nothing else
I am so into you, baby
I can't get to nothing else
No no no
C'mon baby
I am so into you
Love the things you do
Listen baby drivin' me crazy
C'mon baby
I'm so into you
I'm so into you, yeah yeah
I'm so into you
When it ended I didn't know what to say. He's getting to the point at least, the song proved that.
Song: So Into You by Atlanta Rhythm Section
Now I never heard of this song before, until my mom was making fun of me about the whole Cheechoo thing, if you don't know what I'm talking about go to my profile, I explain with some detail. And I get made fun of a lot about that. But yeah, I fell in love with this song.
As you can tell I LOVE the Twilight series, since I mentioned it before in chapter one. I just read the first chapter of Eclipse so I had to put something Twilight related in here, because I'm ecstatic now!!!!
How did I do from Jude's POV?
I'm rereading again to make sure everything is cohesive, and I need to change my signature from 'I'm an awesome nerd' to 'What the hell is wrong with me?'.
Thanks, Eternita14 (The Cookie Girl) or (BagChip Cookie). I'm an awesome nerd.
