I am Jude
15) The Apology
Previous ChapterNext Chapter{Ivy}
I feel super bad for Jude and the fact that he thinks he is a whore to us when he's not. I don't know which is worse, that or him thinking that people think he's The Boy Prince Jude or this. He had no problem with having sex before, but Eli's right we've pushed Jude way too far with using sex has a way to keep him calm.
Eli, Milo and I decided to meet up at Eli and Milo's room to discuss the issue. Before I met up with them, I decided to go through my closet after casting the sleeping spell Jude so he wouldn't think I'm in the room for sex. I went through the closet because ever since AI was shut down, I've been journaling about everything that's been happening. I had to admit ever since the machine was shut down the sex with Jude is even more awesome than when it was when we were inside.
So most of my journal entries have been about sex with Jude. I've even taken pictures of how his dick looks after we've had sex. I can't help myself because he's just that good.
I knew that even back at AI, Eli and Milo wanted to have sex with Jude. All three of us love Jude and we didn't mean to make him feel the way he feels about us now. The open relationship that Jude and I have was mostly for me because of my high sex drive. It can be too much for Jude to handle sometimes. The funny thing is, Eli's told me that it's the same thing with Milo. Milo has a high sex drive too and it can be too much for Eli to handle sometimes. That's why Eli developed the Orgasm Spell. He only knows it and he's not planning on teaching it to me or Milo anytime soon. It's okay, Milo and I have our ways of baiting people into having sex.
Not all of my journal entries are about having sex with Jude, some them are about what I love about him all the way to what his favorite color is. His favorite color is blue.
I found the journals I've been keeping and grabbed my backpack, stuck them in there and headed over to Eli and Milo's room.
When I got to the room, I sat down on a chair by the desk where Eli usually does research and other things.
"So, do you have any ideas on how we can cheer Jude up?" Milo asked.
I nodded. "Yeah I do."
Eli gave me a wary look and I don't blame him because I was the one that had a hard time accepting the fact that I needed to get to know Judea again. I sighed and then took out one of my journals.
Eli tilted his head. "What's that?"
"It's one of my journals that I've been keeping ever since AI got shut down," I said.
Eli raised an eyebrow. "Really? I wonder are they all having sex with Jude?"
I felt my face turn red and then I composed myself. "Well, a lot of them are, but others are about how I feel about Jude in general and what his personality is. And also a progress report on how Leo's growing up. It seems he's growing up like a normal baby. That's a good thing because he'll have a childhood like a normal kid. I am glad that he doesn't play teleportation hide and go seek on a daily basis."
We all snickered at that thought.
"Anyway," I said and then I smiled when I opened up the first journal entry. Inside this journal was a picture of Jude at our coronation ceremony. He smiled so big because he loved the new outfit he was given to wear. He also loved the fact that he didn't have to wear another stupid cape and he was glad that he was no longer a ruler of anything. He is now just a member of the royal family.
"What is it?" Milo asked.
I showed Eli and Milo the picture of Jude at the coronation ceremony.
"Aww," said Eli, "he's adorable! I thought he was adorable sleeping, but this tops that."
I chuckled, "Yeah I know. I can't believe we made him feel the way he feels now. It's all my fault this time. I guess I'm the asshole now."
We sat in the room in awkward silence for a bit.
"I know," said Eli, "what if we just go back to the basics on how we each felt about Jude before we started having sex with him everyday. I remember what I liked about him. His strength and determination to get things done."
I agreed with Eli, "Yeah he was like that even when we were inside the machine. Of course he really hated wearing that stupid cape."
Milo and Eli laughed because they saw Jude throw that cape in a nearby trashcan when we were in the waiting room waiting for Rainbow Dash to give birth to her daughter.
Milo snorted. "I remember Jude throwing that cape in a nearby trashcan when we were waiting at the hospital. "
"Yup, he hated wearing that thing. I know because every time he got summoned to the Mainframe he would roll his eyes at it. He even told me how much he wished that he could burn it. But AI, it probably would've made him a new one even if he did do that," I said.
"Interesting," Eli said. "Another thing I think we start with to help cheer Jude up and change his mind about us, would be to apologize to him."
I bit the inside of my cheek. Normally Jude's the one that messes up, it's very rare that I do. When I mess up, confessing my feelings about the issue is the hardest thing for me to do. Maybe I should ask Jude how apologizing comes so easily to him?
Eli's jaw dropped when he saw my hesitation about the thought of apologizing to Jude.
"Wow Ivy," said Eli, "you're his wife and you have a problem apologizing to your husband because why?"
I looked away. "Um..."
I looked over to see that even Milo was stunned by my reaction.
"Seriously Ivy?" Milo gasped, "Even I know when to apologize when I've messed up on something in the relationship."
"It's mostly Jude that messes up," I said, "not me!"
Eli narrowed his eyes on me. "Are you sure about that? Because that statement almost seems like the relationship is one-sided."
I groaned, because I knew that maybe there was some truth to what Eli just said. "Great, now what do I do?"
"Well, like I just said," said Eli, "it starts with an apology. I think we should all do it together."
"Oh and maybe we should ask what Michael does that keeps Jude calm other sex too," Milo suggested.
I nodded. "You know what? That's not a bad idea."
As Eli, Milo and I talked about what we were going to do for Jude, we decided we would take Jude out to dinner and then ask Michael what he does to keep Jude calm other than having sex with him.

{Jude}
It surprised me that Michael seemed to be the only one that understood how I felt about things. Not just because he has feelings for Eli, but even he knows when to back off when it comes down to sex.
I find it interesting that Michael is able to keep me calm just by doing a massage. Today was no different. I think Milo, Eli and Ivy figured it was best to leave me alone for now. Of course Lexi doesn't know when to take no for an answer. So Michael comes to help keep her out of my room.
Michael was sitting next to me, and he had me laying on my stomach while he massaged my back.
I smiled. "This feels so good. I never thought I would say this, but I would rather have this happen than sex any day. To be frank, I don't want to have sex with anyone ever again at the moment."
Michael laughed, "Yeah I know. What I don't understand is why everyone seems to think that the only way to keep you calm is to have sex?"
"You thank Ivy for that," I growled. "True we have an open relationship, but that was mostly for Ivy's benefit. Her sex drive can be too much to handle sometimes. Of course, Eli and Milo were wanting me in their bed ever since that stupid machine was shut down. Apparently I'm so good at sex that they can't seem to think about anything else when it comes down to me at the moment. This whole demon god named Logan is possessing me and I need to stay calm, joke is their excuse to get me into bed all the time."
"Yeah I've heard about that," Michael said. "Even if that was the case, there are other ways to keep someone calm."
I was getting ready to say something when I heard Ivy's thoughts. I should talk to Jude, actually Milo and Eli need to talk to him too. That's exactly why we're planning on taking him to dinner tonight. Although now that part of his magic is to be able to break out other people's magic, casting spells to force him to go with us won't work anymore.
I groaned. Michael tilted his head. "What's wrong?"
"Remember how I can hear people's thoughts? Yes, I've been hearing your thoughts this whole time, I just don't announce them because now I know what it feels like. I just answer what they're thinking if it's a question or something like that," I said.
I heard Ivy's thoughts again, There's probably some truth to what Eli told me. After AI was shut down our relationship probably has been one-sided. I hope Jude comes with us-
"Absolutely not Ivy!" I shouted.
"Oh come on Jude," Ivy begged, "it's not what you think it's for, honest it's not!"
"No, it's not happening!" I shouted. "Now get lost!"
Michael flinched when I told Ivy to get lost. "Ouch, now that's a very nice thing to say to your wife Prince Jude. Unless you have a death wish. Isn't Princess Ivy captain of the Royal Guard now?"
I scoffed, "I don't care! I don't want her, Eli, Milo or Lexi anywhere near me at the moment! I'm not a freaking whore!"
"I know that Jude," Ivy said. "And I'm… I'm sorry."
I paused. "Did I just hear what I think I just heard?"
Michael smiled and nodded "Oh yeah, you heard correctly, Princess Ivy just said I'm sorry. I think that was sincere too. I think you should go with her."
I hesitated, "You really think so?"
Michael nodded. "Yup I really think so."
I sighed, "Fine I'll go. But if they try anything at whatever restaurant they're taking me, I'm going on a demon rampage and it'll be all over the news the next day. It'll serve them right too!"
Michael snorted. "Yeah I don't think that's going to happen in a public area, but to each their own."
I went into the closet and got changed to go wherever Ivy wanted to take me.

{Eli}
"I hope he comes," said Milo, "the sooner we do this the better. It seems that I might have to help Jude and Ivy work out their differences."
I sighed, "That is, if they want the help."
Milo, Ivy and I decided that it would be best that we should have our dinner date in the dining room just in case Jude gets angry and if he goes on a demon rampage there won't be much damage and if there is damage we can easily fix it because the walls reinforced with magic barriers to help clean things up.
We had everything setup. There were three candles on the end of the table facing the door. There was also a bouquet of flowers in the middle of the table.
Milo and I gulped when we heard Jude and Ivy coming down the hallway.
"Remember Ivy," growled Jude, "no funny business or I'll-"
Ivy groaned, "I know Jude, you'll go on a demon rampage and wreck the place, got it."
I looked at Milo and he nodded. I said, "Well, it's now or never."
I opened the door to see Jude standing there next to Ivy with an annoyed look on his face. "Okay, I'm here now, what do you want?"
I pointed at the table. "Can you at least sit down so we can talk?"
"Fine," Jude said.
Jude sat down at the table, me, Milo and Ivy followed suit. We sat there in silence for a little bit until Ivy spoke, "So how are you doing Jude?"
Jude rolled his eyes and I told myself not to laugh as he imitated Rarity's high-pitched voice and added sarcasm with it as he said, "Why darling, your sex slave is doing absolutely fabulous today! Gee, do you any advice on what sex position we should do today?"
"I, uh…" Ivy said.
She looked like she had no words to say to Jude and I can't speak for Milo but I felt no words that would be appropriate except I'm sorry. I had no idea if we would say anything else.
Jude scoffed. "Yup you guys are sorry alright. At least we're having dinner first."
"Okay Jude, we are sorry!" Ivy cried. "At least I know I'm sorry, I… I really messed up this time!"
Jude didn't say a word he just gave Ivy a look of disbelief. "Oh really? You messed up? Gee, I must be in an alternate universe. Or is this a dinner for me to apologize again? You know what? Here, I will save you the trouble, I'm sorry, there I said it, I'm out of here."
Jude got up to leave and I got up and blocked him from going out the door.
"Wow Eli," said Jude, "now I'm dreaming. Okay fine, I'll humor you because I'm going to wake up soon anyway."
Jude went back to the table, but instead of facing us, he turned his chair around so his back was facing us instead.
"I'm not hungry!" Jude snapped.
Milo, Ivy and I exchanged a look because we had no idea how angry Jude was with us. Honestly I don't blame him, and this time it's my fault, Ivy's fault and Milo's fault in trying to look out for him, we made things worse. Like Michael said, there are other ways to keep someone calm other than sex. Even if a friend has someone's best interest at heart, it can be misguided.
From the looks of it, Ivy and Jude's relationship has become one-sided. That came as a surprise to me because it didn't look that way back at AI. I wondered what happened?
"Gee, I don't know Eli, why don't you ask Ivy about that!" Jude snapped. "If only I could turn this part of my magic off that would be nice! Oh wait I forgot! My magic's out of control, oh well."
"Listen Jude honestly, I am sorry!" Ivy cried. "I really am sorry! I was just trying to help you deal with things. I didn't think it would go this far. I really didn't."
Jude scoffed, "Yeah sure you didn't! You worked out a schedule for it without asking me about it first! Oh yeah that's right, you don't have to ask Ivy, you can just use your ropes to tie me to the bed. One would think that a wife would ask her husband about something like that!"
My heart broke with that statement because it was true and it was mostly Ivy's idea. We made him do what we wanted him to do because we knew he would have a hard time saying no. We should've just let Jude decide when he wanted to have sex and when he didn't.
"You can say that again Eli." Jude growled. "Oh silly me, I don't have a choice on anything. I don't have a choice when my magic goes out of control, I don't have a choice on when my magic decides to injure me, I don't have a choice on whether or not someone babysits me and one more thing, I don't have a choice as to when I want to have sex! I wonder what am I to you? The Boy Prince Jude or The Whore Prince Jude?"
"Okay Jude dear," said Ivy, by this time she was crying, "what do we have to do to make this up to you? What do we have to do to show we're sorry?"
"Yeah I don't believe you. Everything's just been one big joke! I'm tired of it!" By this point Jude was steaming and even Ivy had tears in her eyes, he didn't believe anything that was going on at the moment.
I sighed. "Jude, I'm sorry, I really am and as you can see, Ivy's sorry too."
Milo sighed, "I'm sorry. You're right we should've talked to you about this like we did before this crap happened. You can see Ivy's in tears, so she really is sorry. All of us are sorry."
Jude didn't say anything else, he started to cry right along with Ivy. Ivy got up from her seat and went up to Jude. She put a hand on his knee.
"Please Jude, I'm begging you to believe me," Ivy pleaded. "I am sorry about this. I'm the asshole this time, although I've probably been the asshole more than I thought."
"How?" Jude cried. "How do I know you're not just saying this just to save face? Because it's always my fault."
Ivy sighed, "It's not always your fault Jude. I hate to say it but Eli's right, it seems our relationship has become one-sided. I just don't want to admit when it is my fault and place the blame on you. I don't know why I do that."
Jude stopped crying and composed himself. "I guess. Either way I can't hold on to this anger for too long. I guess I'll just accept it and go back to business as usual."
Ivy shook her head. "No, that's not going to work Jude. You don't deserve that, you know we love you right? We want you to be happy just like we are happy. The reason we watch you is because your magic is out of control, we don't want you to be hurt Jude."
"Fine, I'll take your word for it," Jude said. I could tell by the look on his face he still wasn't believing a word we were saying and again I don't blame him.
I got tired of watching Jude's heartbreak, when I decided that we should lay some ground rules as far as sex goes and Jude should be able to have a say on what they are now. He should've been able to have a say in this to begin with.
Jude raised an eyebrow. "Well gee, I'm glad you finally see it that way. Fine if you're sincere, stop asking me for sex every time you see me. Let me decide if I want to have sex or not got it?"
I agreed with Jude, "I can deal with that. What about you Ivy?"
Ivy nodded. "I can deal with that."
Milo nodded. "That makes three of us."
"I was wondering something," I said.
"What?" Jude said.
"How is Michael able to keep you calm?" I asked.
Jude laughed, "Well believe it or not, he gives me a back massage."
"Wow," I said, "why didn't I think of that?"
"Because you didn't." Jude chuckled. "Oh and you might want to talk to Michael about that. I think Michael has something he's dying to talk to you about."
"What might that be?" I asked.
"I'm not telling, it's not my place to," Jude said.
Now that we finally worked things out with Jude, I hoped that this would make things better.
