It was just turning 6am when Jim’s eyelids fluttered open, a small ray of light from the slightly open purple drapes in Jade’s bedroom and beaming down across the sheet that covered them. He sat up and took a gulp of the glass of water he’d brought to bed with him the previous night and made a face at its slightly stale taste, putting it down on the nightstand again turning over onto his side to watch Jade, still sleeping soundly next to him. She’d been his girl for a month now, and the joy he felt inside at reminding himself she really was all his on a daily basis still hadn’t diluted any; everything he felt for her was as still as fresh and new as it was when he had met her first all those years ago. She made him unquestionably happy.

He folded the pillow beneath him over and rested his head against it as he watched the way the morning light cast shadows across the sheet covering her, hugging her curves like it had been poured over her half naked body as liquid and then dried and moulded itself around her perfection. Not that he said anything at the time, but when they had been ‘together’ before he often thought she was a little too skinny, and now her figure had filled out thanks to her giving up the class A’s and drinking a hell of a lot less (she could have easily been classed as an alcoholic at 25) she was as rounded in body as her head grounded. She had turned from an amazing girl into even more of an amazing woman.

‘As long as you are the first thing I see when I wake up, and the last thing I see before I go to sleep, my life will be a happier one from now on’ he whispered softly as he reached out and smoothed her bangs from her forehead, quietly laughing to himself that her being a Brit called it a fringe and watching as her forehead creased a little, and then her face went back to being blank spare a small smile on her lips. He lay there and wondered what she was dreaming about, what pleasantries were running through her mind to make that tiny smile happen, and leant forward and kissed her nose, hoping she would wake up soon but also being content enough just to lie there and watch her sleep. He remembered when his mother had told him he would know true love when he felt it for all the differences it would bring him, and she was right.

He had never found contentment in watching someone sleeping before, he had always thought it more boring than anything, but as he lay next to her, the woman he loved with everything he had he knew his mom was right; his love for Jade had changed the way he saw a lot of things. Yet he was still holding back from uttering those three little words, since they had only been together for a month, but whispered them to her all the time when he sat and watched her sleeping, just like he did then. She was his best friend, his baby, his lover, his everything; he knew he wouldn’t be able to keep it to himself for much longer.

She had just filled the petition for the decree absolute in her divorce from Stefan, all of which he had not contested and actually been very gracious about which meant in six months time she would be a free woman, and his girl outright. Even though they were together he still had it hanging over his head that she was still someone else’s wife, a certain someone he loathed too. Although they way things were at the moment he really couldn’t fault Stefan, he was showing all the signs of a man who knew full well he had done wrong, his face at seeing Jim how had taken his place so quickly was one that read loud and clear ‘Oh god, I’ve lost her forever’ when he visited them a few days ago have his appointed access to Jamie (who was a little less venomous to her father now). He had even brought a small home on the border of Buckinghamshire to make it easier for Jamie to be able to see him, and had been very fair and actually quite helpful in discussing their joint custody of their daughter too. Jamie would go back to spending half her time in the UK and half her time in Norway as they had when her parents were still married, something they thought would be beneficial for her to continue to learn of her Norwegian heritage, which also meant touring would be much easier now Jade wouldn’t have to worry about Jamie being flown out to here there and everywhere to visit her mother, she had the stability of her father, who despite his faults always had put his daughter first.

Ahhh, touring. Something he had always loved but now something he knew he had to do with sadness in his heart as it meant he would be separated from Jade. Stone Sour’s and Hellbound’s new albums were being released within weeks of each other, and both tours to promote these would commence exactly three months from then to the day, a day he was dreading. He and Corey (who was now in the UK, two bedrooms away from him at that precise moment since it was the day of Stephen’s birthday party) had been told that the tour was being organised right at that moment, and that they had an extended break before going back on the road which meant he would be leaving for tour a month after Jade and her girls left for the road, headlining the Metal Rage tour of the US with five other bands on the bill. Sharon would arrive later that morning to discuss more of the tour in depth with Jo, Jade and Jen, and had also asked to speak to Jim and Corey too. He couldn’t guess why she would since her management didn’t extend to them, but agreed all the same. Just as he was thinking how much he would miss her, the lady herself suddenly stretched and yawned, opening her eyes and letting herself adjust to the world of wake as Jim reached out and stroked her stomach.

‘Hey handsome, I dreamt about you’ said Jade, stroking his arm and giving him a kiss.

‘Really? And what did my baby dream of me then?’ replied Jim, lying on his back while Jade snuggled her head into his shoulder, kissing and stroking his bare chest.

‘I dreamt I asked you to go and get Kenzo in from the field and you never came back, and all this time passed and I was worried and searching everywhere until you suddenly appeared in the kitchen with Kenzo on his rope, but he was painted pink or some shit and then I shouted at you for getting pink paint on him and you told me it’d wash off and it was okay, and then Jamie ran in and said all her GI Joe figures had come to life and it was just as one of those little dudes came walking in by himself that I woke up, it was weird!’ she said as Jim laughed.

‘God you have some crazy dreams!’ he exclaimed, hugging her close and kissing her atop her head. They spent a few more minutes lying there and talking before noises coming from downstairs told them they should be getting up. And when they entered the kitchen a little while later after taking a shower together and getting dressed they found the source of the noise, for at the kitchen table there was a very cute, but in Jade’s eyes very gross sight to be beheld. Sid and Jamie making peanut butter, strawberry jelly and bacon sandwiches, the formers bizarre food craving he had passed on to Jamie too.

‘Its jam Sid! You yanks have the weirdest names for things, you really do! This is jelly, see look wobble wobble, jelly! And this is jam, jaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!’ Jamie announced as she picked up a pot of ready set jelly and the jam jar, waving them in front of Sid and making him laugh.

‘Well we call it jelly, and if you don’t mind my bread is missing a good covering so c’mon get some spread upon the bread!’ he said, as Jamie knifed out a big blob and flicked it onto the slice of white bread Sid held.

‘Morning kids’ said Jade with a laugh as she and Jim entered the kitchen.

‘Morning mom’ Jamie and Sid both chorused back. It was so nice to have him there, she and Jamie had missed Sid big time and when he had arrived the previous night at just after 10pm Jamie had literally flown down the stairs to greet him, her mom relenting from telling her off for waiting up for him to get there and letting her stay up for a little bit longer so she could open the many strange and brightly coloured Japanese toys he had brought for her. She was quite surprised they were both up so early, and could have guessed the reason why before she even asked Sid.

‘I got tapped awake at about six this morning by someone who shall remain nameless cough Jamie Kay cough’ said Sid with a smile.

‘Jamie what did I say last night? Sid’s just flown for eleven hours to get here and he needs sleep!’ said Jade, putting an orange juice down in front of her daughter and picking up Sid’s coffee mug to refill it.

‘Ahhhh don’t worry, the kids okay aren’t you buddy? I slept on the plane for once so I ain’t too tired. And it meant I got to spend some time with my little dude making a mess too’ said Sid, hoisting Jamie up onto his lap as she bit into her sandwich.

‘Well just as long as madam cleans up the peanut butter off the table and scoops all the bits of bacon up too’ said Jade, looking at the disarray all over her big kitchen table as she put a mug of coffee down in front of both Sid and Jim.

‘So how come you’re up so early anyway mom? I thought your mornings were taken up doing............... other things nowadays’ said Jamie with a crafty smile.

‘Jamie don’t be personal’ said Jade, having one of those moments when she really wished she hadn’t told her daughter all about ‘the birds and the bees’. She was a very bright seven year old, and also mature enough at her accelerated intelligence to be told about what sex was, but one thing Jade didn’t expect was for Jamie to use it against her quite so freely; without embarrassment either. She turned around to see Sid and Jim exchanging looks at each other across the table, Sid biting his knuckle and trying not to laugh.

‘You don’t do that with girls too do you Sid? C’mon don’t let me down!’ said Jamie, turning in her seat to look at Sid who couldn’t quite believe his ears. And since Jade had told him to answer questions honestly with her, he had no choice but to say what he had to say.

‘Erm, well yeah I do actually champ’ he said, still trying not to laugh.

‘Urrrrrgh that’s disgusting! How the hell you people can like something that’s just so.......... ewwwwwwww Ill never know! You’re all gross!’ she exclaimed, getting up off his lap with a disgruntled look on her face and exiting the kitchen to go and find Alicia, who had just arrived to start the morning yard duties while the adults left in her wake all roared laughing.

‘I can’t believe she’s only seven sometimes!’ said Sid as he threw his head back and guffawed loudly along with Jim.

‘That’s nothing, aunt Marie called yesterday to speak to me and Jamie politely informed her that she couldn’t find me right at that moment and that I was probably, and I quote ‘off fornicating with Jim somewhere’ said Jade, making Sid laugh so hard no sound came out.

‘And what did aunt Marie say about that?’ asked Sid.

‘She went mental; she’s an extremely devout Catholic that thinks children shouldn’t ever know what their parents get up to. Needless to say she isn’t impressed about me and Jim being together either since I’m still married, all that sex out of wedlock crap. She thinks I’m going to turn Jamie into a little whore I think, but I’d rather she knew what sex is rather than lying about it’ said Jade.

‘That’s a fair enough comment, kids have to know sooner or later’ said Sid after his laughing fit had subsided.

‘Yep, but still she’ll probably come and give me an ear bending tonight over it all, I just hope my uncle Joseph will run in and save me if she gets too much’ said Jade as she sat down at the kitchen table with her own mug of coffee, just as Alicia walked in.

‘And if dad doesn’t save you I will, I know what an old philistine mom can be’ she said, waving hello to Jim and Jade and giving Sid a hug since she hadn’t seen him yet. After making herself a cup of tea she explained Jamie had literally dived into Bob’s Range Rover as soon as he had pulled up and gone on the morning round of checks across the vast land Jade owned and that she was heading back out to start the stables.

‘Well heaven help you if Corey were to get up, we all know how a certain someone goes as red as a fire truck and runs away in the presence of Mr Taylor’ said Jim teasingly as Alicia blushed and giggled shyly. She had a little bit of a crush on Corey, something she had vehemently enforced people who knew not to tell him either.

‘Shut up!’ she squeaked, grabbing her tea and running out of the kitchen again as Jim laughed at her.

‘Alicia likes a boy, Alicia likes a boy!’ Jade chanted after her, watching her cousin stop and flip her the bird from the middle of the yard before turning back and going off in the direction of Odin’s stable, ready to fight for who had the right to drink the tea in her hand. Odin usually won. After deciding to clear away the kitchen mess herself Jade tidied up the rest of the work surfaces, swept the floor and threw the vacuum in Jim’s direction to go and do the lounge Jade put her make up on and fetched all the paper she had for the Metal Rage tour and sat to read it before Sharon and her other girls got there. Since Charlotte and Jess were permanent US residents Jade would make notes from their discussion with Sharon to be able to reiterate to them over the phone at a more decent hour, conference call style meetings had to be ruled out when time zones meant Charlotte and Jess would be asleep. Just as she was reading through sheet two on the roughly drafted tour schedule she heard the kitchen door open, and looked up to see Corey enter, yawning and stretching, still looking half asleep.

‘Hey dude’ he said groggily, fluffing her hair on his way past to grab himself a much needed coffee. Jade had the kind of comfortable beds you just didn’t want to get out of, and if he was honest he was a little annoyed he had to be up and dressed ready for Sharon to arrive at 8.30am to discuss a tour he wasn’t even part of. Because of her filming for the British TV show The X Factor Sharon had to squeeze in band meetings wherever she could and this was her only free space other than that night, where of course she would be joining the other few hundred guests in the huge marquee being set up in Jules’ garden right at that moment for Stephen’s 60th birthday celebrations; definitely not an appropriate time to talk business.

‘Morning’ Jade replied brightly as he yawned again and sat down at the table, just as Jade heard Jim swearing at the vacuum and its resistance to go back into the cupboard just outside the kitchen. He re entered the kitchen after a few more minutes of huffing and cursing, just as Jade noticed Sharon, Jen and Jo all walking across the yard together. She got up and brewed more coffee and put a good few slices of bread in her toaster, pushing the side lever down just as Jen swung the back door open and ran at Corey along with Jo, who they hadn’t seen in months. And after hellos had been said and welcoming kisses and hugs given the six all sat down to coffee and toast to talk business.

‘Right then guys’ Sharon began in her cute little voice. ‘I have been liaising in secret with your management about this for the last week, and we have come to an arrangement that just needs your approval and that of the other guys too’ she continued, referring to other Stone Sour members Roy Shawn and Josh. ‘You see the thing is one of the bands I billed for Metal Rage had to pull out at the last minute so I need a damn good replacement and fast. I told this to your management company before they started booking venues for your solo tour and they stated they’d be happy for you to promote the new album on Metal Rage, since it’ll be pulling in a hell of a lot more people it’ll mean your new material reaches many more than it would if you just toured solo with two supports. So, what do you think?’ said Sharon, laughing with that unique laugh she had as she saw both Jim and Jade just stare at each other.

‘Dude?’ said Jim questioningly to Corey, who was looking thoughtful.

‘Well, sounds like a win-win situation to me, I guess we just have to wait and see what the other two fuckers say huh?’ said Corey. ‘Oh I might have known you’d be pleased about all of this, means anyone within a three room radius gets their sleep disturbed by you two banging the shit out of each other yet again’ he continued as he looked at Jade, and then Jim. Sharon began to laugh louder.

‘Well yes, I did think it held a particular advantage for love’s young dream over there’ said Sharon, who then made a gagging gesture as Jade stroked Jim’s cheek and kissed him. But all the same, she was glad she’d made them happy. Which was just as well since Jade would find out pretty quick that day her relationship was about to come under the firing line, both home and away.
