Chapter 14

"Jude? Where are you?" Speed yelled as he walked in Jude's house. She had left a message for him to just come in.

"Upstairs, you can come on up." Jude yelled back.

Speed took off his shoes that were all wet from the snow and walked upstairs. He found Jude sitting in her bathroom on the sink putting on her makeup.

"Sorry, I got tied up at work and I am running late." Jude apologized.

"No problem at all. I don't have reservations at any place so when we leave, we leave." Speed said as he starred at Jude.

"Oh, what are we doing then?" Jude asked confused.

"I thought we might just pick a random restaurant then go to a movie. Maybe after the movie we could head back to my place. The guys are out tonight and probably won't be back so it would just be us. Like old times almost." Speed said smiling as he watched Jude walk towards him.

"Yea, about after the date. I think I will come back here." Jude said as she walked past him.

"Come on Jude."

"Speed, I realize that we sort of hooked up every night…and morning…and I don't regret it. I just think that this might be going too fast and all. I want to go slow, just causally date." Jude confessed.

"Oh, well, nothing has to happen. I mean just come over and we can talk. There is so much I want to ask you and now is my chance. You can stay in my room and I will sleep on the couch or kick Wally out of his bed if he does come home. Hell, come over for several hours and then I will drive you home."

"I don't know."

"Just pack a few things and then you can decide. If you want nothing to happen, I promise to grant that."

"I didn't say that I didn't want a kiss." Jude said as she smiled at how Speed was thinking of any way to be with her. That was something she always loved about him, he put her first.

"Please Jude?" Speed asked as he walked closer.

"Fine, I will consider it. If I chose to stay I will just wear a shirt of yours and you can sleep with Wally." Jude said as she kissed his cheek. "What happened to your hand? It is all bruised."

"Oh, I uh…I shut it in the car door last night. Was a little tipsy and didn't move fast enough." Speed lied as Jude looked at his knuckles that were bruised and swollen from punching Nathaniel.

------------------

Dinner went great. Jude and Speed found a little café where they ate by candlelight. They then went to a movie. Speed was the happiest person alive through out the movie due to the fact Jude put up the armrest and cuddled up next to him. Now Speed was lying on his bed as Jude changed into a shirt of his.

"Wow." Was all Speed could say as Jude walked out in only a button down shirt of his with her hair falling on her shoulders.

"Thanks, you don't look bad yourself." Jude said as she noticed Speed in a pair of pajama pants.

"Well, want to talk anymore or are you ready to go to bed?" Speed asked getting up.

"I think I am ready to go to bed." Jude said.

"Ok, good night. If you need anything I will be in the next room." Speed said as he kissed her cheek and walked off.

"Wait, you can stay here. No, actually I want you to stay here." Jude said as Speed turned around with a smile.

Speed walked back to the bed and climbed under the covers next to her. They laid there facing each other for five minutes, just smiling. Jude put her hand on Speed's cheek and slowly caressed it before she kissed him. As the kiss deepened, Jude and Speed moved closer and closer to each other. Speed had ran his hand up the back of Jude's shirt and pulled away suddenly.

"Are you not wearing underwear?" Speed asked with a smirk on his face.

"What?" Jude asked pretending to be shocked.

"You don't have underwear on and may I ask why? AND do not give me the I don't like to wear them to bed line because I know you too well." Speed replied.

"Because they get in the way." Jude said laughing.

"But nothing was going to happen tonight." Speed said as he put his head against Jude's.

"Well, that was just a test. A test to see if you wanted me for me or me for the sex. Let's just say you passed so it is time to get rewarded." Jude said as she started to unbutton the shirt.

-------------------

A couple hours later, Jude laid with her head on Speed's chest as he ran his fingers through her hair.

"If I got rewards like this for passing test in school I would have been an A plus student." Speed said breaking their silence.

"Same here." Jude replied as she rubbed Speed's cheek.

"Ok, can I ask you three questions about anything?"

"Three, I will decided if I answer or not."

"Fine here is one. Why did you name Vienna, Vienna?"

Jude laid there for a minute thinking.

Speed and Jude laid in bed wrapped in their covers curled up together.

"If we were ever to have a baby, what would you want to name it?" Jude asked out of nowhere.

"I don't know. Boy or girl?" Speed replied.

"Ok, girl." Jude stated.

"Hmm, I would want her to have part of my name in it. I would want us to name her Vienna. Vienna Spiederman, you could pick the middle name." Speed replied as he really thought it out.

"I like that. Vienna is pretty, what if we had a boy?"

"I don't know. Maybe Jonathan or how about Jansen."

"I like those too. What if we were to name it Vincent?"

"Hell no. What is with the baby talk?" Speed asked. " Are you pregnant, are we going to be parents?" Speed asked excitedly after a minute.

"No, I was just thinking. Sadie had me thinking and why would I be pregnant? I mean I am on the pill and all."

"You haven't been for several months Jude."

"Oh yea, I forgot. But you always use protection right?"

Speed just half smiled at Jude.

"Speed!"

"Hey, you never once protested about it and I let you know too. Just admit you don't care and you would not mind if we had a baby."

"Whatever, maybe some day you and I can have a baby."

"I would love that, and maybe that someday will be in nine months."

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't know. I have this feeling that tonight I finally succeeded."

"Succeeded in getting me pregnant? Why do you think that?"

"Because something was different tonight. It was more special and I swear there was more love in it then ever. It had to form a baby." Speed said as he held Jude close.

What they didn't know was that night did have something special in store for them. Sadly, they might never get to experience it…together.

"When I had Vie, I was all alone. Her father wasn't there and never once mentioned anything. I have been on mine own since the first trimester of my pregnancy. I didn't know if I was having a boy or a girl. I had a name picked out for a boy but when I had Vie, the first thing I thought of was you and me discussing names before and how much I loved Vienna. Therefore I had Vienna." Jude explained remembering that day and how scared she was.

"Ok, who is Vie's father?" Speed asked.

"Not answering unless you want me to break down and lose it." Jude replied.

"Fine, want to go to sleep?" Speed asked disappointed.

"You have one more question." Jude said.

"Ok, who is better in bed, me or Tommy?" Speed asked after a few minutes.

"Wow. Tommy is bigger and awesome." Jude said watching Speed's face turn sour. "But you go longer and definitely the best."

Speed leaned down and gave her a kiss. He had the biggest smile and held Jude as close to him as he could.

-----------------

The next morning Jude woke up to her cell phone ringing. As she tried to reach for it, she couldn't move. Speed had his arm around her waist holding her tight to him. She finally got it. It took several tries because every time she moved away he pulled her closer and held on tighter.

"Hello?" Jude said into her phone.

"Mommy, where are you?" The voice replied.

"Hey baby, I am at a friend's house." Jude said not wanting Vie to find out she was with Speed.

"Oh, can I go to lunch with Jamey? Masey said he would pick me up later. He is taking me to the mall and then we are going to practice the song you are teaching me." Vie said.

"Ok, that is fine. Call me later." Jude replied.

"I will." Vie said.

"I love you so much, ok?" Jude asked.

"I love you too mommy!" Vie said then hung up.

"I love you too." Jude heard Speed mumble. It made her laugh but feel guilty all at once. She looked at him and remembered how much she loved Speed in the morning. There was always this stage of sleep she wanted to catch him in. He would reveal anything to her.

"Vinnie, I love you." Jude whispered to Speed.

"I love you too." Speed replied still asleep.

"Do you have any special plans for my birthday?" Jude asked, her birthday was three days away.

"A lot." Speed replied.

"What are they?"

"I am taking you to a hotel where Darius got us the honeymoon suite. There we will arrive at night and order room service. The next day we will go to a couples massage since you want one then we head to the room. At 7pm I got us a romantic dinner planned out. After dinner I plan on taking you back to the room for a romantic bath in the heart shaped tub." Speed revealed unknowingly.

"How are you getting me to the hotel?"

"We will go to your parents at 2 for lunch and celebrating then we won't go home. I will have a bag packed and hidden in the car."

"What are you getting me?"

"A diamond, star shaped ring to match the necklace from last year."

"Real?"

"Real diamonds, real white gold."

"Was it expensive?"

"Very, my parents are paying for part of it so it is a joint gift. I have been saving up for this birthday for months."

"When are you giving it to me?"

"At the hotel, I don't know when."

"I would love to get it at dinner with shinny wrapping paper and a HUGE bow and a poem declaring your love for me." Jude said. She knew this was wrong to take advantage of Speed, but she loved everything he would reveal to her. It actually made her feel better about herself.

"Ok."

"What if I were to tell you I wanted to become a reborn virgin and wait till marriage?"

"Want to get married?"

"No marriage until we are twenty-seven."

"I will become a reborn virgin too." Speed replied. That made Jude feel better. She also had to make sure to put the birthday stuff far back in his mind. .

"If you had to choose between never kissing me again or never having sex with me again, which would you choose?"

"No sex, kissing is more important. Plus we don't have sex, we make love."

"Choose, no kissing or no talking."

"No kissing. Talking to you is more important. I wouldn't know how you felt, what you liked, what you wanted, what you hated, what you needed if we couldn't talk."

"What is your favorite physical feature on me?"

"Your eyes, I can see the world in them."

"Why do you love me?"

"Because you are my perfect girl. You are everything I want and more. You love me for me and wouldn't change for anyone."

"Would you give anything up in order to keep me?"

"I would give anything up for you, even my life."

"How do you want to die?"

"With you in my arms. Preferably having hot, kinky sex at a very, very old age with you that way I die happy."

"I love you."

"And I love you." Speed said before he rolled over.

Three days later, Speed held true to his birthday statement. Jude loved it all and loved Speed just as much.

Jude got Speed to let go of her enough that she could lay on her back.

"Hey Speed, what are you dreaming about?" Jude asked, she couldn't resist it.

"You." He replied. She knew he was still asleep by the way he talked and how he barely moved.

"Why do you care about me and Vienna so much?"

"I never stopped caring for you. There is something about Vienna that makes me feel like I should be there for her. She needs a dad figure and she loves me. It makes me feel important by being there for her."

"Did you ever stop loving me?"

"Never."

"How many girls have you slept with?"

"I don't know. I lost count after flavor forty."

"When was that?"

"A year after I left."

"Whom did you lose your virginity to?" Jude asked, she never knew who was his first.

"You." Speed mumbled.

"What?" Jude asked loudly. She never knew that.

"You."

"But when we first had sex, you said had done it twice when I asked you."

"I had, twice with you. You asked me after."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You were so scared and I didn't want you to know how scared I was of it. It was so important to you that it was perfect and I didn't want to mess it up." Speed said.

"Come on Jude." Speed said as he pulled Jude down the street towards 620. They had just been at dinner. Tonight was their night; it was the night they were going to take their relationship to the next level. They were 17, almost 18, and had managed to stay together for 4 months on their second attempt. They knew they were genuinely in love and no one could change that.

"I am coming." Jude said laughing as she ran along with Speed.

"Ok, now I want you to close your eyes and let me guide you." Speed said once they were in the apartment building.

Speed ended up carrying Jude up to the apartment. Once they got inside Jude was allowed to open her eyes. When she did she started to cry.

"Speed, it is perfect." Jude said as she jumped in his arms to kiss him. They were in the loft part of the apartment. In the middle of the floor was a mattress with satin sheets. Around the bed laid daisies, Jude's favorite flower. Then all over the place were candles of all shapes and sizes that made the loft glow. Jude could smell the vanilla scent.

"No, you are perfect." Speed said.

"How did you do all this?"

"Well, don't get mad, but I had help from Wally. There was no way it could have been ready for you if he hadn't came over twenty minutes ago and lit all the candles."

"I am not mad, I am so happy. I love you so much Speed." Jude said as she walked over to the mattress pulling Speed down with her.

Jude woke up the next morning wrapped in Speed's arms. She knew that that was her paradise.

"Why did you wait so long to come home?" Jude asked.

"I was scared to face you. I thought you hated me. I felt so hurt and broken and used Monica to make me feel better and then way too many other girls." That statement by Speed confused Jude, but she chose to ignore it.

"What is one of your big secrets?"

"When we were in ninth grade and had to do the kissing scene from Romeo and Juliet I purposely picked you."

"You drew out of a hat."

"I was first and I cut up the names. I cut yours special so I would draw it. I wanted to kiss you so bad then but was scared to tell you."

"Go back to sleep baby." Jude said as she lightly kissed his cheek. Her little game left her feeling horrible. She really hurt Speed and she didn't know how she felt anymore, so help her by reviewing.
