*************************
Sadie knew she was nosy, knew she liked to get into things that were none of her business. That however was how she found out about her father's affair. She almost felt like she did at that moment. Alright well maybe not as bad but the feeling was somewhere along the same lines. Walking down the stairs Sadie stopped as she watched Jude dance around the kitchen. She was singing "Pick up the Piece," as her mother sat back trying not to laugh. Sadie was sure her mother was being taken back to when that was her. She wanted to smack herself at how stupid she had been.
The words on the note she found flashed before Sadie's eyes. "I miss you so much, can't wait until tonight, Tommy." She wanted to laugh out loud; her sweet innocent little sister was dating Lil' Tommy Q. To be honest she was not that surprised by the fact they were dating. Anyone who saw them on Music Helps knew there was something between them, something electric. The looks they gave each other during the song were powerful. Sadie groaned internally as she walked into the room. She felt like such a fool for flirting with him, what he must have thought of her?
The truth was there in front of her, the way she got over Shay so fast. It took her only a matter of a few weeks before it was like it never happened. Sadie found herself getting confused; what would a guy like Tommy want with a girl like Jude. Sure Jude was beautiful, she was after all her sister but Jude was not like his past girlfriend. Plus she was only sixteen. Looking over at Jude who was eating her pancakes Sadie refused to watch her sister be treated like trash again. Sucking in a breath she made a decision she was going to talk to Tommy. She was going to make sure he understood what hurting her little sister would get him.
"Hello Harrison women," Jamie greeted walking into the house.
"Good morning Jamie," Vicki greeted smiling placing a plate of food in front of him.
"Thank you Mrs. H," Jamie smirked picking up the fork she had already place near his spot.
"Mom and I will be shopping all day," Sadie told Jude smiling trying to get her mind off of Tommy and Jude. "So if you need to get a hold of us, call our cells."
"I shouldn't," Jude shrugged, than silently groaned as she thought about her day. Darius started his reign as her manager the moment her father signed the paper, and she had in the public eye non-stop busy since then. "Darius and Georgia have me booked solid today."
"Booked…Today," Jamie repeated softly sure he heard her wrong.
Jamie looked over at Jude who did not actually respond to his statement. Jude just took another bit of her food as Sadie looked at her then back at Jamie. Sadie looked up at their mother who just looked down then back up again. Jamie saw that Sadie was watching him, than her eyes went away. He and Jude had made plans weeks ago. They had not been able to hang out for a while. So they made plans to spend the day together, since she would be booked due to her up coming tour. That was the main reason he was here now, they were supposes to go to an early movie. She had to be at some club by four tonight to meet SME for a sound check for the show she had tonight.
Vicki took out the juice turning to look at Jude who was still clueless about what she was doing. Her heart broke for Jamie; she had known the young man had a crush on Jude since they were ten. Truthfully she had always seen Jamie as the son she never got. Sadie just took a bite of her food not wanting to look at Jamie. Jamie was like the little brother she never wanted, and to see him hurt was like seeing Jude hurt. Knowing that Jude caused the hurt made it even worse then if someone else did, because she was suppose to be his best friend.
"What plans do you have today honey," Vicki asked refilling Jude's glass of juice in hope to jog her memory.
"Well…SME and I have another photo shot at ten, than I have this radio show at three," Jude began taking a drink of her juice. "Then I have to join SME at four to get ready for our show tonight, after that Darius got us an interview with some big magazine."
"He didn't waste anytime did he," Vicki gasped wondering if she and Stuart had made the wrong decision by signing her with Darius Mills. She personally didn't want her to have anything to do with that man.
"With my album being released in a week he wants as much of me out there as possible," Jude explained with a laugh, repeating almost the same words he used to her two weeks ago. "He said that Georgia missed a lot of opportunity for me because of her fear that I wasn't ready."
"Sounds like a fun day," Jamie mumbled taking a bite of his eggs as there was knock at the door.
Vicki watched Sadie get up to answer the door. Vicki had hoped that once Jude started to talk about her day she would remember what today actually was. Jude just looked up at Jamie giving him her classic grin that made it hard for Jamie to actually be mad at her. He knew that she was stressed out right now her parent's couldn't even get into a room with each other anymore. Plus he knew that Georgia and Darius were not making it easy for her since they couldn't make a decision without trying to out do each other.
"Look who is here," Sadie announced as Tommy walked in front of her. Tommy looked at Sadie as he heard the annoyance and irritation in her tone, which was unusual.
"Is it seven already," Jude groaned looking at her watch, dropping her head as she realized it was. She looked up as Tommy gave a small laugh.
"I thought your photo shoot wasn't until ten," Jamie asked taking another bite of his food, making sure to shoot a few glares at Tommy.
"Portia can't decide which outfits she wants us in," Jude sighed standing up taking one last drink of her juice. "So she wants us there at seven-thirty to try them all on again."
"Tommy you didn't need to pick her up," Sadie said sweetly as Jude went to get her jacket. Tommy looked at her and realized that something was major off with her. Because though her tone was sweet like normal, her eyes were cold and angry. "One of us could have taken her."
"It's on my way," Tommy shrugged as Jude walked back into the room, pulling her hair out as she adjusted her jacket.
"Have fun sweetie," Vicki told her not taking her eyes off of Jamie, who was still glaring at Tommy.
"See you guys tonight," Jude waved as Tommy started his way out.
*****
Jude did not know how hard it was to pick the right outfit but obviously it was for Portia. Because she was in the ninth outfit in the last hour because she could not decide which color looks best on her. Looking over at Portia she had it down to three choices, she walked over to Kyle's outfit deciding which one would go with it best. Looking at her watch she realized she had exactly one hour before they had to go meet up with the photographer—across town. She laughed as she saw EJ walk up stop frown at the choices, then around and walk away. None of these would be EJ's first choice, and she was not shy in saying so.
Rubbing her eyes she groaned as she heard Darius and Georgia in the background—arguing still. Her contract stated that all decision made had to be made by both Darius and Georgia. Meaning in normal language that if one didn't want it she could not do it, this of course led to the current problem. Georgia and EJ had planned a nice small tour for her, but Darius on the other hand thought her being the opening act for Shay's very large stadium tour would be better. He was having t-shirt made, her CDs would be sold at the concerts, and while Shay performed he would have her in a booth signing autographs. Georgia and EJ did not want her anywhere near Shay after what he did to her almost six month before. But what started this argument was the fact that Darius had already confirmed to the press Jude was doing the tour.
"What's wrong," Tommy asked seeing her grim expression; he suppressed a knowing grin when she shot him a look to kill.
"She can't decide on which outfit," Jude explained pointing at Portia who was going through the clothes again. "We've been here for almost two hours but she can't make a decision…plus we have to meet the photographer who is on the other side of town in like fifty some minutes."
"Portia is a perfectionist," Tommy laughed as she kept doing what she was doing. "But that of course is what makes her the best as what she does."
"Here we go," Portia announced smiling at Jude as she extended the outfit out to her. Portia knew this one was perfect there was no doubt about it. "What's wrong?"
"I don't remember trying that one on," Jude told her frowning looking at the outfit.
"That's because you haven't yet," Portia smirked pushing it into her arms them motioned for her to go change. As she walk away Portia noticed Spied and Wally come up the stairs. "You two were supposes to be here at 7:30, not 9:12."
"Kyle's not even here yet," Spied mumbled weakly remembering Tommy's warning about what happens when Portia got made. Tommy decided to use the time she accidentally order his shirt in pink not red, and Darius made him wear it.
"I've been here since seven," Kyle said from behind them holding a cup of coffee. They watched him move past him slowly, then hold out the cup to her. "I thought you could use this Ms. Mills."
"That was very sweet of you," Portia grinned taking it from him, than turned a death glare at Spied and Wally. "Follow me, and don't argue. Kyle, would you mind putting on your outfit again? I want to see all four of you together."
"No ma'am," Kyle shrugged taking it from where it hung.
"Jude meets us down stairs in ten," Portia yelled so Jude would hear them, then took a drink of her coffee, grinning even more when it was made just the way she liked it.
Tommy wanted to laugh but he kept it inside, it was so obvious that Kyle had a crush on Portia. Portia of course did not see it because she never did. Tommy watched Spied and Wally mocking Kyle silently as they walked down the stairs. Tommy almost thought about letting Portia in on the fact that Kyle was crushing on her but decided against it. Portia would of course confront the poor kid that would embarrass him, so he decided to leave it alone. It wasn't the first time this happened, and the crushes always went away after a few months of working with her. She was not an easy person to keep happy, and Kyle would sooner or later mess up.
Jude shook her head as she walked Tommy smirked wider as Portia began a lecture on manners and etiquette to Spied and Wally. He was doing his best not to laugh right now, because he had flash backs to when he was in Spied and Wally's place. He didn't know how many times Portia pulled him Chaz and Bruno aside to lecture them. Only all he had to do was smile and give her a certain look and she was putty in his hands. Looking away from then his smile began to fade when his blue eyes came into contact with Jude's. She was standing in front of him in the outfit Portia picked with her hands on her hips, not looking all too amused.
"You're enjoying this way too much," Jude hissed walking towards him as she heard Portia irritated tone. This meant that Spied must have made a comment and she did not find the comment amusing or appropriate.
"I warned you what being under Darius management would be like," Tommy answered holding up his hand in defeat. "But no, you refused to listen."
"You also said he was the best," Jude argued back, getting him to look at her and nod. Darius was the best but he was also a controlling jerk.
"Just be glad you have Georgia on your side," Tommy sighed remembering all the stupid things Darius had him do. Georgia gave her word that Jude would not any of the humiliating things he and Boyz Attack did.
"You're mad at me aren't you," Jude whispered coming to stand next to him, seeing that Portia was lecturing Wally while Kyle and Spied dresses. Though with Wally she seemed passive, which meant he was smart and kept his mouth shut.
"I'm not mad," Tommy whispered back looking around to make sure no one was watching, and like usual they weren't. "It's just been two weeks since we've had one minute alone together."
"I know," Jude replied, knowing that he meant one couple minute together. Like today, they had a breakfast date before the photo shoot but Portia ruined that.
"If it's not Georgia or Darius it's your family or Jamie," Tommy grumbled turning around to look at her. He just wanted one hour alone with her, he didn't think that was too much to ask for. "I'm waiting for us having to cancel tonight."
"Not going to happen," Jude vowed with a wicked smirk, letting him know what she was thinking about.
"You should get back to Portia," Tommy smirked back, knowing they were leaving any minute for the shoot.
"Could you do something about them," Jude begged pointing at Darius and Georgia, who were still fighting. "Kyle says they were arguing when he got he at seven, and they've been arguing the entire time I've been here."
They were trying to keep their voices down, trying to remain calm and collect but failing. Tommy knew it had to do with the tour that he really did not want her on, but he also knew it was the best choice. Shay's summer tour would be the best way to get her music out there, the best way to get her really noticed. Darius had been her manager for a little over two weeks now and her popularity had sky rocketed. He had gotten her a cover on some huge magazine, done several radio shows, and gotten a hard to get gig at a very exclusive club. Of course he was also the reason they had to keep canceling their dates, but that came with the territory.
Walking down the stairs the rest of the way he headed towards them as they tried to appear polite. He motioned for EJ to leave knowing that she could not do anything to stop this. He would let her go back to doing what she did best. Georgia had stopped her from releasing an official statement that Jude would be touring with ex-boyfriend Shay, which led Darius to take things in his own hands. This of course made Georgia claim that Darius was not obeying the contract they both had agreed upon. They also did not seem to notice he was in the room, shaking his head he was got angry he did the whole fake cough, than said their names--loudly. When they did not budge that time slammed his hand down as hard as he could on Georgia desk; this got their attention.
"What is it Tommy," Darius asked forcing a smile on his face as he turned to look at his once brother-in-law. Tommy laughed bitterly as he took a step towards them, unlike them he did not like people to hear his fights.
"Jude is getting ready for her promo performance tonight, getting coached by EJ for the major interview, plus she is worried about her release party next week," Tommy hissed meeting their angry gaze with just as much anger. "And you two are in here acting like two spoiled children instead out there acting like professionals."
"Excuse me," Georgia snapped turning her anger from Darius to Tommy, who until this moment she thought would be on her side.
"Jude wants to do this tour, she needs to do this tour," Tommy told Georgia softly, letting his anger melt away. He knew that Georgia was trying to protect Jude. "Trust me I don't want her there either but she wants to do it. And as far as her career goes it is the best choice to get her music out there."
"She's not ready for this kind of tour," Georgia argued, she could only imagine what would happen to Jude. She had never sung in front of that many people before, and not for as long as she would need to on this tour. "She's never played anything like what will be on this tour."
"She was born for this," Tommy laughed motioning for Jude who was leaving for the photo shoot. "She never did anything like Instant Star, but she did it and won."
"Let me talk with Jude," Georgie grumbled walking past both of the guys.
"Thanks," Darius grinned as soon as Georgia was out of ear shot. He knew that Tommy would come around and see that he really did want to help Jude out. He knew a winner when he heard one, and Jude and SME was one of them. Now all he had to do was get the boys to sign with him.
"I only spoke the truth D," Tommy shrugged turning to look back at him. "It had nothing to do with you."
Georgia walked straight to Jude who was now out of the outfit, as they quickly tried to get out of G-Major. Portia held their outfit in her hands she was not taking any chances. It was the original outfit she had planned for but EJ said they were hoping for something different. Portia realized right away what EJ wanted was to make Jude something she was not. She of course had tons of designers who would love a chance to get a new face on their clothes. She knew once Jude's album got out there and went number one they all would be waiting for her call. Heck these outfits were by one of them that loved the fact she didn't let any guy push her around.
Georgia didn't need to speak with her she saw the look in Jude's eyes. She didn't want Jude to become overwhelmed with fame and become something she was not. She didn't want Jude to be pushed into something that she was not ready for, but that was not the case here. She looked back at Tommy and Darius. She saw Darius's smile, next time she didn't care what was at stake she would not let him win. Darius Mills had the largest ego of anyone she knew, and she refused to feed it.
*****
"Tommy," Sadie said sternly walking up to him as Jude was performing. She had decided that now was the perfect moment to confront him, because if she waited she didn't know if she could do it.
"Sadie," Tommy greeted not taking his eyes off Jude. Sadie watched him for a second fighting the urge to slap him. She could not help it, she just wanted to protect her sister.
"I've thought of fifty different ways to say this," Sadie began her voice coming out with all the anger and hatred she felt at this moment. This got Tommy to look up at her confused. "But I think I am just going to come out and say it."
"Say what," Tommy questioned confused by her recent attitude towards him, but still trying to watch Jude perform.
"Why the hell are you an almost twenty-four year old dating my sixteen year old sister," Sadie snapped when he didn't answer right away she went on. "Is it a game to you, because if it is you better think twice because I will not let her get hurt again?"
"What," Tommy shuttered of all the things that he expected to come out of her mouth this was not once of them.
"I found one of your notes to her," Sadie explained emotionlessly her eyes sharp with anger and protectiveness.
"First of all I care for Jude," Tommy told her softly looking around to see if anyone heard their conversation. "Second Jude and I want to keep this quiet for a little bit, so could you shut it."
"I meant what I said Tommy," Sadie warned harshly taking a step towards him. Tommy looked towards Jude who was performing them to her family and friends, then back to Sadie who was attempting to kill him with her glares. "I will not let her be humiliated again…not by you or anyone else."
"I would never do that," Tommy swore looking back up at Jude. The idea of hurting Jude killed him, it was one of the last things he ever wanted to do.
"And my dad swore to stay faithful to my mom too," Sadie laughed bitterly moving back. "So you'll have to excuse me if I don't exactly believe anything you have to say."
Tommy watched Sadie walk away with that last statement, then his eyes went back to watch Jude on stage again. He wondered if there was a sign above them. First Chaz and now Sadie, both he knew they would not tell anyone. His eyes went back to Sadie who was sitting with her mother, father, Kate and a glum looking Jamie. She looked back giving him one more look this one was not filled with anger but with something else, a knowing glance. Rubbing his eyes he went back to watching Jude and SME.
Getting off the stage Portia was right there with the make up and hair supplies to touch her up just a little. She wanted her to have the "I just came off stage and I rock" look, not the "I just came off stage and I look yucky" look. As she did the quick touch up on Jude she gave the guys orders as to what they could do to make them selves look presentable. After a few second she smiled pushing them towards the space the club was letting them use for the interview portion of her night.
Jude smiled as the photographer began to take pictures of her and SME. Darius Tommy Portia and EJ stood in the background smiling as all four of them especially Jude charmed her way through the interview. This was a surprise since Charles Leon was not a man to be charmed; he was not a fan of teenage musicians. He found them to be spoiled brats who knew nothing of the real world, but Darius gave him his word Jude and SME were different. Darius grin faltered when Charles brought Shay's name into the interview.
"So it was confirmed you will be the opening act for Shay's summer tour," Charles stated calmly, then began to smirk lightly. This made Jude feel a little nervous but she kept it in. "Should fans be expecting a Shay and Jude reunion anytime soon?"
"No," Jude laughed shaking her softly. She had been expecting this question because it was the same Kat asked her earlier. "Shay and I both agree that we are better as friends, then as a couple."
"Why do you think he cheated," Charles asked showing no emotion as he said the words. Nor did he even care that Darius was not pleased right now, because he took orders from no one especially Darius Mills.
"Shay told me it was because we were too intense for him," Jude frowned thinking back to their conversation. She stopped for a moment then looked in in the eyes fearlessly. "That he wasn't ready for emotions he felt for me."
"But you will be singing together on tour," Charles inquired eagerly, knowing the fans were going to want to know. This tour was already getting a lot of attention. "Your single Waste My Time did make it to number three, and is said by many to be one of the best duets of 2005."
"Yes we will be singing a few songs together," Jude confirmed smiling sweetly. "The one thing Shay and I do best together is make music, and all because we are no longer a couple doesn't mean that will ever change."
"So you hold no ill will towards Shay," Charles laughed in shocked, he had expected her to be bitter and resentful; his seventeen year old nice burned everything her last boyfriend gave him and him to burn in hell.
"Shay cheated on me and humiliated me in front of national television," Jude reminded him for the first time showing the emotion in her eyes. Then quickly it faded as it came. "I will never be able to forget what he did nor will I ever forgive him fully but by holding onto that hate and that anger I'm really holding onto the past."
"So you see this tour as a way to move on," Charles guessed giving a look at her band that had remained silent during the questions. He knew it was probably because they didn't have anything nice to say.
"Partly yes," Jude confirmed softly.
"So if Shay isn't in the picture for you then what lucky guy is," Charles asked smiling seductively.
Tommy watched Darius frown turn to a slight smile as the interview began to shift away from the topic of Shay and their very public break up. He had not expected them to ask questions about Shay. He had personally asked them not to, saying the topic was something both parties were trying to move past. Darius watched the band began to joke around about the new man in her life Tommy couldn't help but smile as she blushed. All the while the pictures being taken of them, soon the interview was over. Darius shook the guy's hand, as did EJ. EJ and Darius walked out with him while Portia let out the breath she did not know she was holding.
Jude's head was spinning she had never had such a detailed interview before. He wanted to know everything from how they did in school, to their views on sex, drugs, their dating life, and of course music. He wanted to know when they first became musicians, why they became musician, and how the became a band. They got into their family and of course her parents divorce, another topic Darius had requested them not to get into. Spied and Wally were standing in the corner talking about something. While Kyle was sitting against the wall looking at his watch then looking at the guys.
"You did amazing," Portia gushed hugging her, Jude hugged her laughing. Jude did not miss Tommy's look, she was sure it was weird for him. Having his ex-wife and current girlfriend friends, she only hoped they remained that way after they came out. "I know from personal experience that working with an ex who cheated on you hurts, the pain never goes away but after awhile you can form a friendship. It'll just take awhile."
"It was unrealistic of me to think I would never see him again," Jude shrugged running her fingers through her hair nervously. In truth if she never saw Shay again it would be too soon.
"But we do it," Portia frowned remembering when she filed for divorce. Portia and Tommy never spoke about their divorce or what caused, both agreed to leave that in the past. Plus she knew how painful it was for him to remember. "We think that when we walked away that that is it, they're gone forever."
"You were amazing girl," Darius yelled walking into the room, than looked at the guys. "You three were terrific as well, great job."
"He loved you," EJ chirped pushing past Darius as she gushing with pride. "He said this was the best interview he's done so far this year…to think Georgia and I almost cancelled this."
"It helps when the lead singer is a babe," Spied laughed Jude laughed lightly as Tommy sent a glare his way.
"Actually he loved you all," EJ corrected looking straight at Spied. "He said it has been a while since he saw a band who actually could call them selves a band…and your name."
"What about our name," Spied asked defensively, because he didn't care what people said the name stayed. Kyle and Wally at this time were now standing by Spied.
Nothing," EJ shrieked clapping her hands in excitement. This was just too good all of this was just too good. "He loved the name Spiderman Mind Explosion…SME…we need to get you guys out more."
"Is she always like this," Kyle whispered watching as she kept going on and on about something but none of them could get what she was saying. She seemed to be missing words that would help them figure it out.
"When she gets excited yes," Jude laughed watching EJ; she hadn't seen her that excited in months. "Right now she's not actually talking, she's thinking out loud. Georgia says she gets so worked up she can't shut up."
"Are you done with Jude," Tommy asked Darius not knowing if he had anything else for her planned. Jude smirked as he smoothly pulled her away from Spied, who had sat very close to her minutes before. "Because her family wanted to see her once she got free."
"We're done," Darius told him, then looked at Jude and SME. "Remember you guys have tomorrow off, I want you all to relax. Because soon you'll be working non-stop, and I don't want you to burn out."
Tommy grinned at her walking out of the small room knowing that she would follow him anywhere. A few feet away he found another door; opening it up he smiled when it revealed an empty room. This club despite the fact that it was now a respectable and hard to get into club was one a strip club. Tommy never went there seeing as the fact he would have been like twelve during its last yea open. But he heard a few guys outside talking about it. It got shut down about ten years ago when the owner sold it to a friend. Walking into the room Tommy could see this must have been one of the changing rooms.
Jude watched him shut the door locking it, she knew he wanted to talk to her about the no boyfriend comments she had made. As much as she wanted to tell everyone she was dating Tommy she couldn't. He wanted her to be able to tour in peace because they would take any interaction between her and Shay and place it on the front page of their tabloid magazine. Neither one of them wanted that, plus they both were enjoying the peace and quiet while she could.
Turning around Jude went to say something when he grabbed her kissing her soundly on the lips. It took Jude only a second to respond to his kiss; pushing her roughly back against the door that was behind her. Opening her mouth to him as his tongue rubbed against her bottom lip. Tommy groaned as her tasted filled his mouth. As his hands moved down to her butt he lifted her up to wrap her legs around his waist. Groaning as his hands slipped under her shirt to feel the warm soft skin of her lower back.
Sixteen days, it had been sixteen days since he had really kissed her. Sure he had stolen a kiss from her here and there, but it had been sixteen days since he kissed her like this. Sixteen days since he felt her skin against his hands, tasted her sweetness against his lips, sixteen very long days. Pulling her away from the door he placed her on a counter as their kiss broke. Resting his forehead against hers he fought the urge to rip her clothes off.
"I have wanted to do that all night," Tommy explained moving her hair out of the way looking into her eyes. God much he loved the color her eyes turned when they were filled with desire.
"I've wanted you to do that all week," Jude smiled putting her arms around his neck, getting him to smile.
"We have a little problem," Tommy sighed pressing a small kiss to her lips, but quickly pulling away. He knew not to press his luck, because he was walking a very think line "Sadie knows about us."
"That's impossible," Jude frowned shaking her head knowing there was no way Sadie knew.
"She found one of notes," Tommy explained laughing as he went back over their conversation. At first he was stunned after that wore off he was amused by it all. "She confronted me tonight warning me in a not so polite way not to hurt or humiliate you."
"Oh my god," Jude groaned leaning her head against Tommy's shoulder. Tommy smiled when he saw that she blushing.
"Yea that is what I thought," Tommy sighed still unable to stop laughing as her blush deepened. "But I am pretty sure she didn't say anything to anyone."
"I need to talk to her," Jude replied dropping her arms to her side not wanting to have this conversation with her sister.
"Can't it wait until tomorrow," Tommy whined knowing that something would interrupt their night. Jude laughed, because he looked like a little boy that just got his favorite taken away.
"I'll meet you at your place in one hour," Jude promised cupping his face because there was no way Sadie was going to ruin their date tonight.
"One hour," Tommy repeated, pulling his jacket up to look at his watch. "Just so we're clear that is sixty minutes from…now."
Jude leaned forward placing a small kiss on his lips, before jumping down off the counter. She walked out into the club to see everyone walking around she looked down as some of guys smiled at her. Normally the club didn't allow minors to play but Darius was very persuasive. Spied, Wally and Kyle had all left right away but Jude knew her family was here and she was right. Her father was sitting next to their mother but you could see the tension right away. Her mother had the chair so her back was to him. Sadie sat next to their father, while Jamie sat next to her and Kat next to him and her mother. She was so glad that Kat was willing to give Jamie another chance at being friends.
Sadie saw Jude walking towards them then she saw Tommy walk out a few moments later. Jude did not miss the look that Sadie shot Tommy who she knew was standing behind her. Her father was listening to the band playing now; it was some country type band that had all the girls swaying back and forth. Even Kat who was not a country was listening, Jude rolled her eyes. Jude didn't really notice other guys; she was having sex with Tommy Q, one of the most wanted and lusted after men in North America. So every other guy just seemed second best.
"How was the interview little sister," Sadie asked as she watched Tommy slip out the front door. How could she have missed the signs?
"It went great," Jude exclaimed smiling, knowing that Sadie was watching Tommy. This time though it was for a complexly different reason. "EJ said he really liked us as a band and Darius was even gushing about it."
"That is great honey," Vicki smiled not taking her eyes off the lead singer. Jude gave a small frown as she watched her mother since the lead singer was literally old enough to be her son. He appeared to be twenty, with blond hair and tight jeans that looked like they had been painted on.
"Spied says your photo shot went well today," Jamie grumbled taking a drink of his soda.
"Jamie I am so sorry I forgot about our day together," Jude told him softly coming to lean on him, leaning her chin on his shoulder. "I remembered half way there, but if you are free tomorrow I am off the whole day. We could all three hang out just like before my life got crazy."
"Sounds like fun to me," Kat grinned looking at Jamie who had begun to smile. She was doing her best to get over him, and maybe a day like before would help her seal the deal. "We haven't had a movies marathon in ages."
"Only if you promise to pick movies that the lead guy isn't half naked for most of the movie," Jamie smiled seeing the regret in Jude's eyes. He hated to make her cry even if she was at fault.
"So Kat you pick the movies, I'll get the food and drinks, and Jamie," Jude smiled standing up from the ground, still having her hand son his shoulder. "You like always will supply us with the much needed intermission music."
"Do you have plans for tonight sweetheart," Stuart asked smiling, glad to see that she would be doing something outside of music tomorrow. It seemed that every free chance she got, she was in the studio or working on he songs with Tommy.
"Come on guys," Sadie laughed standing up. She was not going to let Jude get off that easy tonight. "I told you both days ago that I was taking Jude out for a sister one on one dinner after this concert."
"You did," Vicki asked looking up at Sadie; she did not remember Sadie telling them this. Though she was pleased, they had not hung out nearly enough in her opinion.
"Mom it was your idea," Sadie lied, never missing one beat. Jude just gave them a smile, if she said nothing than Sadie's lie would not be revealed. Just could not tell a lie. "You said Jude and I don't spend time together, than we decided dinner tonight would be great opportunity for that since we'll both be leaving in a few weeks."
"Right," Vicki mumbled pretending she remembered the so called conversation. She did remember saying those words about a week ago, but she did not remember Sadie making these plans. But lately she had been so preoccupied, that she didn't hear them.
"We'll see you tomorrow," Kat said standing up to get her coat, as Jamie eyed Jude curiously. Sadie gave Jamie a look that dared him to say one thing.
"No earlier than ten please," Jude warned as Sadie began to walk off. Jude looked as Sadie walked quickly, not looking forward to this at all.
Both Kat and Jamie nodded, both still confused because Jude never mentioned having a dinner date with Sadie. Sadie was an excellent lair she had perfective the art as a child. As she grew older she learned to use the skill to her advantage, like now. Using a conversation her parents did have with her but twisting it slightly so they thought they were paying attention for the whole thing. It was classic Sadie Harrison, but Jude also knew that she was about to get grilled. Sadie had been watching her closely since the moment she walked up to the table. Like if she watched her hard enough the truth of the situation would change, that she was not with Tommy.
Sadie opened the door for her sister giving her a smirk that told her she was in so much trouble. Slipping inside the car she watched as Kat and Jamie walked outside of the club. She knew that her parents would be leaving soon as well. As much as her mother was enjoying the music she would not want to be anywhere around her father. The divorce had begun to turn them into enemies, which made Jude happy that she would be on tour soon. Because it looked like their summer would be spent in court battling each other. It was not something that she wanted witness first hand.
"How could you not tell me," Sadie yelled as she tore out of the parking lot before Jude could even get her seat belt snapped in. She could only imagine what Jamie and Kat were saying right now. "You saw me flirting with him, god I feel like such a fool…how could you not at least tell me he was with someone? I'm your sister Jude I would think that would mean something."
"Sadie don't say that you know you mean the world to me," Jude said softly as she took a corner too sharp. "If I told you he had a girlfriend you'd ask me who, and keep asking me until I broke."
"That is another thing," Sadie hissed sending her a death glare. "How could you not tell me you were dating him?"
"You know how the press will react to this," Jude explained. As much as she wanted to come out as a couple, she was not looking forward to how the press will react. "So we decided to keep it quiet until after my tour."
"You're dating Tommy Q," Sadie laughed looking at her disbelieving. This was still too much for her to believe "You are so not his type…I am his type."
"That's one of the things he likes most about me by the way," Jude snapped hurt by her sister's comment.
"Jude I can't watch you go through this again," Sadie replied softly. Jude knew she was claming down because they were now doing the speed limit, though she had no idea where they were. "It killed me to watch what Shay did to you."
"Tommy won't hurt me like Shay did," Jude swore smiling but the smile faded when her eyes met Sadie's for a brief moment.
Sadie wanted to believe that, the look in Tommy's eyes made her almost believe that. She was angry that Jude did not tell her that Tommy was taken, that she let her flirt with him. Looking to the side Jude saw the anger in her sister's eyes had faded to annoyance. Jude knew that Sadie felt betrayed, that she did not trust her with her deepest secrets. That was not even the issue the issue was that Sadie was in love with Tommy. She had wanted Tommy since the first time she saw him. In a way she felt bad that she was dating her sister's dream boyfriend.
She didn't want to fight about this Sadie wanted Jude to know that she could trust her. That no matter what she was her sister and she would do anything for her. Sadie just kept driving she didn't want to ruin the quiet moment. She needed to think about what she was going to say next, how she would go about this. It still blew her mind that her sister was dating Tommy Q Sadie smiled biting her bottom lips from laughing. When her friends finally found out they were going to flip. None of them were a fan of Jude's music, and didn't think Jude would make it.
"How long have you two been dating," Sadie asked smiling softly as her curiosity won out.
"Since a little after my birthday party," Jude mumbled.
"No wonder you got over Shay so quick," Sadie laughed shaking her head. Now all the times she though she head Jude talking on the phone came to her. All the times when Jude was working late started to flash in her mind.
"I love Tommy," Jude told Sadie honestly. Though she could not say that to him right now, it was how she felt. "And I know you can't support us because you are afraid of me getting hurt, but I did want to tell you…I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"I'll forgive you if you answer one question," Sadie promised smirking before the question ever left her lips. "How is he in bed?"
"How do you even know we're sleeping together," Jude asked looking away form her sister's gaze, then to the ground, then back up again.
"Come on Jude," Sadie laughed out loud rolled her eyes. "With the looks he was giving you I'm surprised he didn't jump you after your interview. Then again the guys did come out almost ten minutes before you did."
"First of all we did not have sex after my interview," Jude argued blushing pushing her hair behind her ears nervously. "And second I can't tell you that, it's personal."
"Jude every woman alive wants to know," Sadie begged in her whinny voice. It was the voice that let Jude know she was not going to give up until she got her way. "Please Jude please?"
"Fine," Jude laughed seeing she would not leave her alone.
"And I want details," Sadie told her then looked over at her before she could argued. "I have a full tank of gas and I will not stop this car so spill it sister."
*****
Grabbing on to the ends of the couch cushions Jude cried out his name as Tommy took her clitoris into his mouth. Putting her legs over his shoulders he used his hands to push her more into his mouth. He smiled as he felt her ride her first wave of ecstasy as she shook from the orgasm. Normally he would take the time she used to recover to undress but not this time. This time he sucked harder slipping two of his fingers inside of her, groaning as he felt just how wet and ready she was for him. Shaking her head to the side Jude could not take more of this. Arching more into him she cried out his name again as his finger stretched her as he pumped in and out of her.
Gripping the cushions until her knuckles were white Jude started to move her hips as she felt her second release beginning. As Tommy's sucked harder as his finger increased it rhythm, he wanted to take her higher then he has ever taken her. Jude closed her eyes as her body gave in to its need, this time she could barely remember where she was. She didn't even hear herself scream his name, didn't realize that he let her go. She just stayed there half of her on the couch the bottom half falling off the couch.
Jude opened her eyes as she felt Tommy's hands on her hips. She smiled as Tommy lifted her up on her feet crushing his lips into hers. The kiss was out of control, there was no gentleness found anywhere. They both were hungry, too hungry to care about anything right now. The moment she walked into his place she grabbed him, he welcomed it. He had hoped to make it to his bed, but that had not happened. Instead they stumbled back to his couch.
Running her fingers through his hair she groaned as he broke the kiss and turned her around. She let out a shriek of surprise when he pushed her on his couch. Then he quickly went for his jeans to get the condom. He then flipped her so that she was on her stomach, moaned as his lips went to nip at her shoulder. His mouth moved up to neck as he moved her legs apart, smiling when her hands went to the arms of the couch automatically. Jude closed her eyes as she felt him enter her slowly stretching her like he had never done before. She let out a moan as his lips went to nibble on her ear when he started to move in and out of her.
Tommy kept his hands on her hips he watched Jude drop her head down as he began to increase his pace slightly, but not too much. He did not want to hurt her, since this was a new position for her. He groaned lightly himself as she moved her legs farther apart starting to move with him. The moment his name left her lips again he lost control. Jude cried out as he started to pound into her, holding onto the arm of his couch as sensation after sensation washed over her. Tommy felt his own release coming, he felt his body's warning, but he refused to go before she did.
Jude hissed as his finger went to her still very sensitive clitoris. Jude was sure he was trying to kill her with a sensory overload this had to be his payback for her canceling their dates the past two weeks. Tommy tried to keep his body from going over but she felt way too good, his body could only handle so much. Jude let out another cry as Tommy pinched her clitoris causing her to fall over the edge. Jude's arms gave out and she fell straight down, seconds later she heard Tommy hiss her name. Then he fell on top of her, he was heavy but she was too out of it to care.
Jude didn't know how long they lied there like that. She slowly rolled over smiling as Tommy lifted himself up so she could. Then he fell back on top of her resting his head on top of her chest. Jude kept her eyes closed as she ran her fingers through his damp hair. Smiling as Tommy mumbled a few words she could not make out. After a few more minutes Tommy finally was able to lift his upper half to look at her. Bending down he kissed her gentle on the lips, getting her to look at him.
"I missed you," Tommy smiled as she moved his hair out of the way. This had to be his favorite part, just being with her skin to skin. He had never felt this close to anyone until her.
"Phone sex not working for you," Jude joked getting a small snort from him.
"Not when I can have the real thing," Tommy replied bending down to kiss her again. He moved his hands to her hips only to have her stop him.
"Sadie is going to be here in less then half of an hour," Jude explained trying to get up. She knew that this was a short visit, but the interview went longer than expected and she had a curfew.
"So," Tommy laughed as his mouth went to her ear nibbling. Jude closed her eyes for a moment almost getting lost in him, but then pushing him away.
"So I need to be dressed," Jude laughed back, as he started to give her his fake pout look. "My parents think Sadie and I are having a sister's night out."
"Might not be so bad having her on our side," Tommy sighed then groaned as she slipped pasted him. She nodded as she started to pick her clothes up, then she made the mistake of looking at him.
"Don't look at me like that," Jude begged looking for her bra. "If I'm late for curfew my mother will kill me."
Tommy smiled as he stood up taking the clothes she had in her hands and tossing them aside. Jude turned around to get them back to have him grab her by the butt and lift her up. Jude groaned as his mouth consumed her as her back hit the wall. Jude tried to resist, tried to do the right thing and fight him, but he felt just too good and tasted even better. His growing erection presses into her, igniting the fire in her that she had been pressing down. She groaned into his mouth as his hand moved up to take one of her breast into his hands. He roughly took the nipple in between to of his fingers as her fingers went though his hair as she gasped.
Tommy loved how her skin felt against his hell he loved how she felt period. She was always so soft, so warm, and so willing against his body. He couldn't help the fact that his body needed hers. Jude head fell back as Tommy mouth began to move, he smiled as she whimpered when his mouth went for her nipple replacing his fingers. He was just too hungry to let her go without at least one more round. If he could get his way, there would be two of them.
"Tommy," Jude whimpered again as his mouth started back up to hers.
"We should take a shower," Tommy mumbled against the skin of her neck, tasting the salt of her skin from the sweat. Not that he didn't love the taste of her flesh he did but he also knew this was the best way for him to win.
"Shower," Jude repeated as his mouth made it to hers again. She groaned as his hands went lower to her butt pressing her into him, smiling as he got a groaned from her.
"Won't take more than thirty minutes," Tommy swore as his hands moved back up to her lower back. He could tell by the look in his eyes that he had won this battle.
"I should get clean," Jude agreed dragging her nails across his lower back, getting a grin from him.
"Yes you should," Tommy nodded pulling her head back to his then stopping when her lips were inches from his to give her a smirk. "That way I can get you dirty again."

Sadie looked at her watch; she was going to kill Jude. She had been waiting for twenty-five minutes for her to show up. They were due back home in fifteen minutes; their mother was going to kill them. Sadie saw Jude coming towards her running as fast as she could. The first thing she took in was her damp hair that was a complete mess. Sadie shook her head as Jude was trying to fix her shirt while carrying all of her things. She was fumbling around with everything as she came to the car.
The next thing Sadie took in was the fact she was flushed, and she knew it was not from the shower. Jude's hair has always taken forever to dry, and by the wetness she got out of the shower over thirty minutes ago. The next she took in was the fact her shirt was inside out, and her jeans were not zipped up. Sadie smiled as Jude quickly did her pants up, than jumped inside the car with a deep sigh.
"Your shirt inside out," Sadie laughed starting her car as Jude face was now red from her blushing.
"Oh god," Jude mumbled looking down away from Sadie's grin. "Maybe mom won't notice…you know if I run up stairs really fast."
"How did I miss this," Sadie groaned taking off unable to believe how unobservant she had been. "You practically have a sign above your head that says, "I'm having sex! The shirt is the least of your worries, how are you going to explain your wet hair when mine is dry."
"I'm not usually this unorganized," Jude grumbled laughed praying her mother was not down stairs.
The word unorganized hit Sadie straight into the chest. As she watched Jude struggle to get in a comfortable place as she drove down the street Sadie began to wonder how unorganized they had been. The last thing that Jude needed was to get pregnant. Jude had just a bright future ahead of her self, getting pregnant would ruin those plans. She remembered her friend Jenna who got pregnant sophomore year she was know working full time at some clothing store.
G-Major and Darius would drop her; she'd have to drop out of Carlson High to go the alternative school that Jenna went to. Sadie was at least ninety percent sure that Tommy would be out the door before she even finished the sentence. He did not strike her as the kind of guy that would stick around. God only knew how many children he had running around from all his one night stands.
"You are practicing safe sex right," Sadie asked, getting another laugh from Jude. Sadie gave her a small glare showing her this was not a laughing matter in her opinion.
"Yes," Jude laughed at her sister's scared expression dash she deadly glare.
"You should talk to mom about getting birth control," Sadie sighed biting her bottom lip nervously; she never thought she'd be having this conversation with Jude. "I got on it when I was sixteen."
"And mom and dad secretly had a panic attack too," Jude told her recalling her mom and dad trying to calm each other down. Her dad wanted to hunt down the guy she was with at the time.
"Jude condoms are not a hundred percent," Sadie argued unable to believe Jude had not talked to their mother yet. "This way you are double protected…you don't have to tell mom you're having sex now."
"I don't know," Jude mumbled unsure about it.
"Jude this is your future we're talking about," Sadie reminded her thinking of her friend Jenna and her little girl. "Do you really want to take the risk?"
She and Tommy had this conversation several times, and each time they decided to wait. They would approach the subject with her mother when it came out that they were dating. Jude was going to play dumb, tell her mother they had not had sex yet but it coming up. This way her father did not kill Tommy and her mother didn't think she lost her baby. If she went to her now her parents would know they are already having sex and Tommy would be dead.
Pulling up to the house Jude frowned, her mother had not come yet. Sadie smiled, they were ten minutes past curfew so this meant they could say they were home on time. Jude got out of the car running straight to the house, she wanted to fix her clothes before she saw her mother next. Besides she's had enough one on one time with Sadie tonight. She loved her sister but all this sisterly love was starting to get to her, especially since Sadie was embracing the mommy inside of her. She would talk to Tommy once again about the birth control issue, but right now she wanted to sleep. Because she knew Kat would not listen, ands would show up here before nine.
