Chapter 23

Jude woke up around 9:30 that morning. She looked around and realized last night was real. She looked over to see Speed still asleep. She laid her head on his chest and looked up at him.

After fifteen minutes of watching him, she couldn't take it anymore. She slowly climbed on him and kissed him lightly on the lips. Speed woke up to Jude sitting on top of him.

"Morning." Speed said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Good morning." Jude replied as she kissed him again. "We have until noon before we have to check out."

"So, what do you want to do?" Speed asked as he rolled her to his side.

"What we did last night." Jude replied laughing as she kissed his neck slowly.

"Jude…'" Speed started to say but Jude cut him off.

"Be in the bathroom in ten minutes." Jude said then she ran off to the bathroom.

About 11:45, they decided to get dressed.

"Looks like we have to leave in what we came in." Speed said as he picked up the pieces to his outfit.

"You do, I don't…I snuck an outfit." Jude said as she revealed the dress she wore when she sang Not Standing Around in.

"Clever Jude, clever, how though?"

"Simple, I had some plenty of room in the bust, so I stuffed it in there before we left."

"You amaze me." Speed said as he went over and kissed her one more time

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

When Speed got home later that day, Wally and Kyle were anxiously awaiting him.

"Where were you last night?" Kyle asked pretending to be a worried dad.

"The Ritz." Speed replied.

"With?" Wally asked.

Speed just smiled.

"Dude, were you with Jude?" Kyle shouted.

"She and Quincy are practically engaged." Wally added.

"She said she didn't care about him; forget him, after he left with Kwest's model sister. She said she needed me." Speed replied.

"Maybe there is hope for you. Kwest's sister is smoking too." Kyle said.

"So, how was it?" Wally asked.

"Incredible and that is all I am saying. I am going to go take a nap. Later." Speed said as he walked off.

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

When Jude arrived home, Tommy wasn't there.

"Tasha, I am so sorry I am this late. Has Tommy been home?" Jude said as she ran in.

"Oh it is ok. Tommy had to run a few errands." Tasha said. She left out the part Tommy offered her thirty dollars if she said he had been home and had to run some errands to cover up for not coming home.

"Ok, well here you go. Thanks again." Jude said as she paid Tasha and went upstairs.

Jude got dressed and walked downstairs as Tommy entered.

"Hey girl, had a few errands to run and didn't want to wake you." Tommy said as he walked in.

"It is ok." Jude replied a little hurt.

"What time did you get in last night, I didn't hear you but you looked so peaceful this morning." Tommy said.

"Oh, I don't know, late, well early this morning." Jude replied. She also spotted Vie standing there listening.

Tommy went into the kitchen and Jude went over to Vie.

"Mommy, why did you lie to Tommy?" Vie asked.

"He was lying to me. I will give you twenty-five dollars to not tell him about me not coming home last night and that I know he never came home ok?" Jude asked.

"Tasha got thirty for not telling you he never came home." Vie replied.

"Twenty-five and you can go with Speed tomorrow after school till eight." Jude proposed.

"Deal mommy." Vie smiled.

"Good Vie, now go have some fun. Did Jamey leave already?" Jude asked.

"Yea, he left around nine." Vie replied before she ran off.

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

Monday night Speed brought Vie home. Vie wanted him to come in and see the picture she had drawn of them from the other night. When he walked in he was hoping to see Jude. He thought that there was now hope for them, boy was he wrong.

He walked in to see Tommy and Jude cuddled up together on the couch. He also saw Tommy kiss her quickly before she got up. Vie came down with her picture all happy and noticed that Speed was now upset.

"Do you like daddy?" Vie asked.

"It is gorgeous sweets." Speed replied.

"Thanks, will you pick me and Jamey up Thursday daddy?"

"Sure, I have to work in the morning on Thursday so it won't be a problem."

"Ok, I will see you then. I love you daddy."

"I love you too Vie." Speed said then gave her a quick kiss good bye. He hated having to leave Vie once he found out she was truly his. He couldn't help but feel bad for missing out on so much of her life, but he couldn't help it if Jude didn't tell him about her.

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

When Speed got home, he didn't say anything to the guys. He stormed off to his room and kicked anything in his way. When he came out later, Kyle and Wally wanted to know what was up.

"Dude, what is your problem?" Wally asked.

"Jude Harrison, she is my problem like always." Speed shouted.

"What happened?" Kyle asked.

"She is still with Quincy. She used me to get back at him for sleeping with Kwest's sister." Speed stated.

"Dude, we are sorry." Kyle and Wally said.

"There is nothing you can do, we can't help that she is a liar and a cheater. I wish I never came back." Speed said.

"Dude, don't say that. Good things have come from that, like Vienna." Wally said.

"True, but Jude has destroyed it." Speed said then left once again.

"He hasn't had any drinks has he?" Wally asked.

"No, but that doesn't mean he won't wreck again." Kyle replied before he reviewed ;)
