Getting to know my father

Chapter 32

Previously

D: "Take the day off. Go see Jude. I bet she'd be glad to see you."

Kwest: "Thanks D."

D: "Don't mention it."

Kwest: "Where's Jude at anyway?"

D: "Oh she's staying with me."

Kwest: "I bet she was real happy about that "

D: "Just get out of here before I change my mind."

Kwest: "Consider me gone."

Kwest's thoughts: I wonder what Don said to Jude, it must be bad if D's saying she doesn't need him. But when has Jude really needed anyone. She is the most independent, stubborn girl I know. I just hope T doesn't hurt her this time round. If he does his life won't be worth living and that's just with me. I hate to think what D would do."

Ring ring ring

Kwest was pulled from his thoughts, he pulls out his cell and sees that its Jude calling.

Kwest: "Hey girl what's up?"

Jude: "Kwest how'd you know it was me?"

Kwest: "Jude there's a little thing called caller I.D."

Jude: "I know that Kwest. It's just that I'm calling from D's phone."

Kwest: "I know I just spoke to D he gave me the day off so we can do whatever you want."

Jude: "Wow D actually gave you the day off?"

Kwest: "Yeah I guess he thought that you might need someone to talk too?"

Jude: "He told you didn't he?"

Kwest: "Now Jude don't be mad at him. He is really worried about you."

Jude: "I know I just wish people would….Kwest hold on a minute there's someone at the door."

Jude: "What can I do for you Quincy?"

Tommy: "I thought we could talk?"

Jude: "Look I really don't wanna talk to you right now. Hold on a minute."

Jude: "Kwest you can stop laughing now and get your arse over here."

Kwest: "I'm on my way. Say hi to T for me."

Jude: "You can do that yourself. It would appear that he isn't going anywhere in a hurry."

Kwest: "Ok I'll be there as soon as I can."

Jude: "Thanks"

With that Jude puts the phone down and turns back to Quincy.

Tommy: "So how's Kwest?"

Jude: "He'll be here soon, so you can ask him then."

Tommy: "I thought Kwest had to work?"

Jude: "He did but D gave him the day off."

Tommy: "So he's on his way here to see you instead of spending time with Sadie?"

Jude: "What can I say?"

Tommy: "How about we stop talking about Kwest and discuss what we're gonna do?"

Jude: "What do you mean?"

Tommy: "Well word is that there's no divorce papers, so we're still married."

Jude: "And?"

Tommy: "And D left it up to us to decide if we wanna divorce or not?"

Jude: "Nothing has changed Tom."

Tommy: "Jude a lot of things have changed."

Jude: "The only thing that's changed is the fact you know about Sara. That's all."

Tommy: "Damn it Jude."

Jude: "What did you think that once the truth was revealed that I'd go running into your arms again?"

Jude was standing in front of Tommy just staring into his eyes willing herself not to kiss him.

Tommy couldn't control himself he just had to kiss her, so he grabs her and gives her a kiss that held all the passion and hurt that he has felt. It took Jude a while to respond but respond she did

At this moment Kwest walked in

Kwest: "Hi guys, woah"

Jude realizes what's happening and pulls away from Tommy but not before slapping him across the face.

Kwest: "I'm sorry I interrupted."

Jude: "Don't be."

Tommy: "Jude."

Jude: "Tom I think you should leave"

Tommy: "But"

Jude: "Just leave."

Tommy: "Ok I'll go but we really need to talk.

With that Tommy stormed out

Kwest: "If that was talking I'd really hate to see what kissing him would be."

Jude: "Not funny."

Kwest: "Come on girl lets go for a walk."

Jude: "Ok it might help me clear my head."

Kwest: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Jude: "You know me so well."

After 30 minutes of walking Kwest decided it was time to talk.

Kwest: "Jude?"

Jude: "Yes Kwest"

Kwest: "Wanna talk about what happened?"

Jude: "Ok but let's go back. You never know who's around and the last thing I need is another story written about me."

Kwest: "Ok then let's get going. I have a feeling this is gonna take a while.

Jude: "You have no idea"

Back at D's

Kwest: "Ok Jude what's going on?"

Jude: "What's going on where do I begin?"

Kwest: "Let's start with Tommy?"

Jude: "Could we work our way up to him?"

Kwest: "If that's what you want?"

Jude: "Yes"

Kwest: "Ok then how about Don?"

Jude rolled her eyes at this.

Jude: "Well it's quite simple really."

Kwest: "Then tell me"

Jude: Well given all the attention that I've been receiving Don thought it was in the best interest of Sara and William if I'm not around."

Kwest: "WHAT?"

Jude: "He doesn't want the press to be hassling them."

Kwest: "I get that but to cut off all contact that's a bit much."

Jude: "I agree but there's gonna be a lot more media attention once it gets out that we're still married."

Kwest: "So what you going to do?"

Jude: "Well I have to respect Don's wishes, so I've got no choice but have no contact until the attention dies down. But I don't think that will ever happen given who I am and who the father of my children is."

Kwest: "Ok now what about Nicole and Sara?"

Jude: "Well I'm not sure where we stand. Although I know where I stand legally, I have no rights in no regards to her I gave them up the moment I signed the papers. Now Tommy I don't know, D's looking into it. As for Nicole she will always be a part of Sara's life no matter what happens I just hope that it can be worked out with no one getting hurt especially Sara, but I can't see that happening."

Kwest: "I totally understand and hope it all works out for Sara's sake."

Jude: "Now on to Tommy."

Kwest: "Do you wanna get something to eat first?"

Jude: "No let's keep going cos if I stop I don't think I'll be able to start again."

Kwest: "Ok then let's continue"

Jude: "As for Tommy and I well we are still married. D had someone look into for him and they couldn't find any divorce papers. So legally we're married."

Kwest: "Ok but how do you feel about him?"

Jude: "That's a loaded question."

Kwest: "Care to explain?"

Jude: "Well obviously I still care for him and he is the father of my children."

Kwest: "Yeah and?"

Jude: "Well I don't know if we could ever move on from what happened."

Kwest: "What do you mean?"

Jude: "How do I trust that he won't cheat on me this time round?"

Kwest: "You don't"

Jude: "Then there's the children to consider. I don't want them in the middle of things when they don't work out."

Kwest: "Jude do you hear yourself?"

Jude: "WHAT?"

Kwest: "It's just you expect Tommy to screw up."

Jude: "How do I know he won't?"

Kwest: "I don't know Jude. But you didn't see him after the Boyz ended. It was bad Jude and I mean really bad."

Jude: "Like what?"

Kwest: "Like he had to be watched 24/7 so that he didn't kill himself. It was ok while you where around but once the tour ended and you disappeared Tommy couldn't handle it.
