AN: Thanks to everyone who's ever read or is still reading this. And thanks to everyone who's reviewed. You all rock! And I've decided to cut this short, so that I can spend more time working on a new fanfic (I think I'll call it Studio Wars, but I'll change it if I come up with a better idea, or if you guys come up with any suggestions…hint, hint!)

Special ANs:

Jess, I know. Darius and Liam? But I guess I'll do just about anything to keep you reading!

Tanya, great suggestion. I'll try and work that into this chapter.

Rachel, me too! I'm in total shock that Darius and Liam are together! That was soooo unexpected! Lol.

Ally, I know. Double EWWW on the whole Darius and Liam thing!!!! But it just keeps getting weirder (read on).

judetomfan101, I'm working on another chapter as I speak, er, write. Here you go.

Monkeyluver42, your review made me laugh. It shocked the hell out of me too!

Disclaimer: You know what I'm going to say before I say it, so I won't bother. Who doesn't love Tommy? But I'M the one who's going to marry him. Even if he's REALLY old.

Chapter 38: Things Just Keep Getting Weirder

Jude followed me back to our private room, and I had no sooner closed the door behind me when she turned and attacked me, her mouth fusing with mine.

My POV: Mmm, it just doesn't get any better than this.

I reached out and pulled her into my arms, my mouth searing hers. I groaned as my cell went off, and I unwillingly tore my mouth from hers, leaving it red and swollen from the pressure exerted on them.

"What?" I ground out, hating to be interrupted at a time like this.

"Tommy, it's Liam. I talked it over with Darius, and he agrees with me," Liam informed me. I could hear the smirk in his voice even though I couldn't see it.

"What? What are you talking about?" I said, completely puzzled now.

"Open your studio, and we'll sue you for everything you've got. For breach of contract, for daring to go up against the biggest, and might I add, best music studio that everyone in the music business wants to work for? Or don't you remember when you signed your contract with us?" Liam was triumphant now.

"You can't do that," I said weakly. My mind raced as I made a mental note to call my lawyer.

"I can, and I will. But that all depends on what you do. Your move, Tommy," Liam gloated as he hung up on me.

I flipped my cellphone shut, and threw it against the wall in frustration.

"Tommy, what is it?" Jude said, coming up and hugging me from behind. She lay her head on my shoulder.

"Liam," I said through gritted teeth.

"What's he up to?" Jude said again, clearly oblivious to his threat.

I filled Jude in on what Liam was planning to do, and managed a wan smile as she let out a string of expletives.

My POV: Damn, I shouldn't've taught Jude those. But she does use them really well. Smart, beautiful, and musically talented? Jude's got it all. There's nothing I don't love about her.

"Come on," Jude said, pulling me out the door.

"Where're we going?" I asked.

"Georgia's room," Jude said, leading me down the hallway.

We walked over to Georgia's room, and knocked. No answer.

"Georgia, it's us," I called out, even though she had a peephole. We all did.

Still nothing.

"Let's try E.J.'s," I offered. Jude took my hand, and we went next door.

"E.J, you there?" Jude called out. I knocked again, and muffled sounds could be heard coming from her room.

"Should we go in?" I said, wanting to give E.J. her privacy if she was in. Too many times I interrupted her, only to get my head bitten off.

Jude nodded, and turned the knob. To our surprise, it was open.

"E.J.?" Jude called out again. We walked inside, where her living room and kitchen were. No sign of E.J.

"Let's try her bedroom," Jude suggested. I nodded, and smiled when I heard a sound coming from her bedroom.

"Sounds like E.J.'s getting it on," Jude said, also smiling. I followed her into E.J.'s bedroom, which was also open, and froze in my tracks.

"OMG!" Jude whispered to me, her eyes big.

My POV: Two shocks in one night? Things just keep getting weirder and weirder.

There before us were E.J. and Speed, completely naked, all tangled up in E.J.'s bed. Speed was on top, kissing E.J. like his life depended on it. And E.J. wasn't fighting him off. She looked like she enjoyed it, with the occasional moaning and pulling Speed closer to her.

"E.J.!" I said, just as Jude said, "Speed?"

The couple froze, then separated.

"H-Hi, Jude, Tommy," Speed said, turning over and covering himself with some of E.J.'s sheets. He gave off a response that was the complete opposite of E.J.'s.

"What the hell are you two doing here?" E.J. snapped, more upset with us for barging in on her than she was at getting caught having sex with Speed.

"I'd like to ask Speed the same question," I said, completely amused. Jude whacked me in the stomach, and my smile faded as quickly as it came.

"Ever hear of knocking?" E.J. blurted out, still annoyed with us.

"Maybe you would've heard us if you two hadn't been banging each other so hard," I responded.

"Don't start with me," E.J. shot back. "This is my room, and since I'm not on the clock, I can do whatever I want."

"YEAH!" Speed agreed.

"Oh, I see," I said, playing along. "And this is MY studio, which I invited you to stay at, so let's see, that means we can go wherever we want, whenever we want, no matter who's screwing who on their off time." I leaned back, obviously pleased with myself.

But Jude looked apologetically at E.J. and Speed, knowing when to leave them alone.

"Tommy, um, can I talk to you? In private?" Jude tugged on my sleeve. I stood firm, not budging an inch.

"Your boxers are showing," Jude hissed at me. I looked down, and she was right.

"Uh, E.J.? Speed? Excuse us," I said, running out of there as fast as I could, Jude right at my heels.

We ran back into our room, and I hoped no one saw me. Or worse yet, got a picture of it.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" I demanded to know.

Jude shrugged her shoulders. "You never asked."

"You're so gonna pay for that," I promised her.

Jude looked at me. "Is that so? Make me," she challenged. She let out a shriek as I grabbed her, picked her up, and dropped her on our bed. She squealed as I fell on her, and I did exactly as I'd planned all along.

AN: That's the end! Let me know what you think, OK? I'm gonna have the sequel to this up in a little while. Be sure to check it out, OK? It's called Studio Wars. I might delay it a bit to write a few chapters at a time (I haven't decided yet).
