Chapter Seventeen

Jude was sitting on the dock by the pool area. Tommy and her had been keeping their relationship secret for about a week now, and it was going pretty smoothly. They decided, at Tommy's regret, that he remain with Sadie for a cover. Not to mention, Sadie would pitch a diva fit and try to find any and all the dirt she can dig up. And Sadie...will do anything and find everything. So during most parts of the day he was occupied with Sadie, while every other spare minute was spent secretly with Jude.

She sat there wearing a small gray hoodie and blue jeans. The wind was blowing her hair away from her face and she was staring at the ocean. She watched as the water hit the beach and foam came crashing up onto the land. All of the contestants were out shopping and Jude was there by herself. At least that's what she thought before Tommy came behind her to give her a peck on the cheek. Everything felt so right to her. Tommy and her felt so right. She didn't know what she would do if they couldn't be together.

"Whacha got there Harrison?" He pointed to her guitar.

"Well let's just say when I get great inspiration…" she leaned in and gave him a kiss, "… I write number one hits." Tommy cracked a small smile.

"Care to show me?"

Jude reached down and grabbed her guitar, setting it in her lap. Staring out into the horizon she guided her fingers over the chords, humming lightly. The light of the sunset outlined the curves of Jude's face, leaving an orange glow around her eyes. Tommy couldn't tear his eyes away from her.

"Beautiful," Tommy whispered. Jude let her gaze fall on his, blushing slightly.

"Well it's nothing really official, I just have the chorus," she explained.

"I mean you're beautiful." Jude couldn't help but smile at his cheesiness. "Why don't you play me the chorus?" She nodded her head and started to strum one again keeping her eyes level with his.

Your eyes are holding up the sky,

Your eyes make me weak I don't know why,

Your eyes make me scared to tell the truth,

I thought my heart was bulletproof,
now I'm dancing on the roof,
and everybody knows I'm into you.

"What do you think?" she asked nervously, setting the guitar down.

"I love it," he replied with a smile. Jude didn't seem to believe him.

"Come on Tommy spit it out, I can handle it," she gave him a pleading look. Tommy just laughed.

"No, seriously it's amazing…truly amazing. You're amazing…" he gave her a weak smile. Jude smiled brightly and ran her hand along his jaw line and kissed him on the cheek. They put their foreheads together so there noses where barely touching.

They both knew sooner or later the contestants would be coming back and that this perfect moment would be over. They where both milking the moment for as long as they could. Tommy just held her as they watched the sun set over the horizon. Finally they both got up and turned back as Jude started to skip. Tommy was shaking his head and laughing.

"You're such a kid Harrison," he said sarcastically. She shot him an 'Oh know you didn't' look. She punched him on the arm while he exaggerated the pain. "Oww…. you got me!" he pretended to trip over himself as they both started to laugh. Tommy then pulled at the front of her shirt, causing her to crash against his chest. She put her arms around his neck as he leaned down to connect their lips. Picking her up they stumbled their way back inside together, almost reaching the staircase. They were just about to ascend them as they heard talking and laughing coming from outside, followed by the doorbell. Jude and Tommy broke apart slowly.

"It's a good thing they have to wait for us to get in the mansion," Jude breathed out.

"And why is that Ms. Harrison?" He asked humoring her. Jude smirked up at him.

"Because then they would be able to see me do this!" she grabbed his jean jacket and pulled him into another kiss.

Tommy's breath hitched in his throat before Jude pulled back slowly. They both wanted more but knew Sadie would be waiting for him.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Jude whispered into his ear as she walked away from Tommy to answer the door. Oh she's smooth…he thought watching her open the door.

All of the girls rushed into the mansion with at least two or three big pink shopping bags. Jude just rolled her eyes as she quickly went to her room and closed the door. She was planning on finishing her song that she sang for Tommy when she was interrupted by Sadie. Jude jerked back bringing a hand to her heart.

"God Sadie you scared me to death!" she put her hand on her chest and started to breath slowly.

"Sorry Jude I just wanted to show you the most adorable top ever!!" she searched threw one of her bags and, what do you know, she bought a hot pink halter-top. "Tommy is going to love it now that I'm his girlfriend!"

"Cute shirt Sadie," she said with little enthusiasm. Jude ignored her as Sadie left the room. Trust me Sadie he's not dating you because you wear a lot of pink.

Back at the set Jeff had gotten just what he was looking for. His plan to get everyone out of the mansion had worked. He had gotten his steamy scene with Jude and Tommy. Now I just need to figure out when to blackmail – I mean confront them. Jeff thought as he smirked, watching the scene of Jude and Tommy again. Mike, the executive producer, walked into the room, squinting over his shoulder to see what Jeff was watching. When he saw Tommy pull Jude in for a kiss his eyes widened in shock.

"Jeff! What the heck is this!" he yelled. Jeff was surprised and jumped out of his chair. Then looking back to the screen he smiled devilishly.

"This, my friend, is our way to the top of the charts! Once this gets out there, this new twist will shoot our ratings through the roof!"

"What the hell are you talking about?! All I see is Jude Harrison and Tom Quincy making out!"

"Exactly. I've been monitoring them. You know what else? Quincy is supposed to be secretly dating Sadie, her sister, while also apparently dating Jude."

"Oh man," he said laughing, "Quincy really did it this time."

"Yeah, he did. Which makes it better for the show, especially when I confront them saying that they need to stop seeing each other." Mike grinned, seeing where this is all going.

"Then when Sadie makes it into the top ten, so will Jude. Amazing man, you're a genius!" he exclaimed, "but the only thing our viewers will know is that Jude Harrison will be on the show with her sister, they don't know all of this behind the scenes action."

"Which is exactly why we will be showing this footage on the show right before the we introduce her."

"Oh that's harsh, man. Who do you think he'll choose?"

"If you've been seeing half the stuff that I've been getting, he'll pick Jude. According to them he only asked Sadie out to piss off Jude, and now that he's with Jude they don't want to make Sadie suspicious."

"This is getting too confusing," Mike replied bring a hand to his temple. "Wait a minute. Why are you making them split up?"

"There has to be some competition on the show. That's what this show is about. If he's with Jude and she's actually apart of the show, he'll want nothing to do with anyone else. Plus it also creates some tension between the two of them, which makes for better drama."

"I love the way you think! Keep me updated on everything," he said while turning towards the door. "I'm going to go get something to eat. Do you want anything?"

"Nah…I'll just stay here and finish up editing the video."

As Mike left the room Jeff smiled to himself. If only you knew Quincy…if only you knew. Poor Jude. I'm doing her a favor, you know. All you'll do is hurt her so I might as well do it for you…he thought while picking up his phone and waiting until the person on the other end picked up.

"Quincy? Yeah I just wanted to tell you about a meeting you're required to attend next Wednesday in the conference room…be there."
