A week had passed, since Madison had laid eyes on the attractive stranger in Jarrett's office, and even though she was positive she'd never see him again, he still haunted her thoughts and even some of her dreams. Sitting in Kevin's locker room, Madison sighed as she just finished organizing the new promo shots TNA had taken of Kevin. Placing the photos in the appropriate folders on the table, Madison looked across the room, to the monitor. Seeing Kevin and Kurt getting geared up for a match, Madison sighed as she sat in the room alone.
Being bored, Madison stood and made her way down the busy hallways, making her way to catering. A few stray wrestlers sat at a table, glancing at Madison, but quickly turning away. Madison sighed as she grabbed the plate, and began filling it with food.
After playing the tongs back in the dish of grapes, Madison was brought out of her thoughts by a deep voice that came from behind her "You gonna eat all that?" totally being caught off guard, Madison spun around, coming face to face with the handsome stranger that for the last few days haunted her thoughts. Feeling her throat suddenly getting dry, as her eyes danced with his. A sexy smirk on his lips, as he waited for a response. Madison's eyes never leaving his, as she watched his eyes glance downwards, only for a moment. Being brought out of her 'trance', Madison looked down at the plate full of food that she held in her hand. Feeling the skin on her face turn red, she looked back to the attractive man that stood only feet from her.
"You talking to me?" Madison spoke almost shocked that he was even speaking to her. Madison couldn't help the new blush that attacker her skin as the attractive stranger simply smiled wide, his eyes pouring into hers. A moment passed when the stranger spoke up "It would appear so…"
Madison smiled wide as she nervously spoke, her voice cracking "Yeah, I knew that…I mean…who else would you be talking to." She stammered, her face turning redder than it had ever been, her skin jumping, she tried to look anywhere but at him, as she continued to stammer.
Finally, embarrassment won out, as Madison sighed, burying her eyes behind her free hand, as she spoke "God! I must look like the biggest idiot!" Waiting for a moment, Madison took a deep sigh as she dropped her hand by her side, fighting to regain the normal color of her skin, the stranger simply staring at her, the sexy smile still on his face. Becoming frustrated with herself, Madison spoke "What?" The stranger chuckled to himself a few times then, spoke in a calm, low, raspy, voice "You're cute!" before giving Madison a wink, and then walking out of catering, leaving her standing there.
Madison was confused but couldn't get the smile off of her face as she made her way down the hallway, walking back to Kevin's locker room. Sure, Madison had met many people in her life, but no one like the stranger she keeps running into. It was like everytime she was near him, her skin became electric, little jolts coursing through her body. Maybe it was because he was the first person that actually was talking to her first, instead of going through Kevin, she didn't know, but she liked him.
Sitting down in the locker room, finishing her food, before tossing her plate in the trash can, Madison leaned back, closing her eyes for a moment. Her thoughts immediately went to her run in with the handsome stranger, she thought about his smile, his intense eyes, his deep voice. She was brought out of her thoughts by the door swinging open, and the Kevin and Kurt striding into the room happily, smiles on their faces. Kevin pulled out the chair next to her, sitting down before leaning over and wrapping his sweaty arms around her for a hug. "Ew! Gross! Bubba that's nasty!" Madison squealed as she fought to get out of her brother's stinky arms. Kevin looking confused spoke "Please! I used to change your dirty diapers, and you wanna talk about nasty! You could pack a diaper li…" he explained before Madison spoke up "Bubba!" she exclaimed mortified, as Kurt simply scoffed before retorting 'You forget, I have 2 kids at home…I know a bit about packed diapers!'. Kevin simply smiled smugly, as Madison reached over, lightly swatting him on the arm, before finally giving up and letting her brother rest his sweaty arms on her.
A few moments passed, Kevin and Kurt getting showered and freshened up, while Madison strayed out of the locker room, standing in the hallway listening to Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore telling a story about their houses in NC. The story stopped when the door to the locker room flung open, Kevin and Kurt walking out "Jarrett wants everyone down in catering, it's a talent meeting." Kurt spoke before walking through them, heading to catering.
Madison walked with Jeff and Beth, as Kevin and Kurt walked slightly in front of them through the hallways.
Making their way into catering, Madison's eyes swiping across the rest of the talent, who seemed to just glance at her then quickly turn away. Taking a seat at the tables in the back, Madison sat next to Jeff Hardy, Beth and Shannon before pulling out her ipod and putting her earbuds in. These meetings were always boring she thought to herself, as she cranked the music up loud. Leaning the chair back on it's back two legs, Madison rested her head on her hands as she could hear Jeff Jarrett speaking through her earbuds.
Resting her eyes for a moment, Madison's mind floated around the events of the day, ignoring the sounds on the outside of the earbud, Madison got lost in the music. She could hear Beth speaking, and could tell the people around her were moving, but Madison didn't care. Being brought out of her thoughts, by a large hand resting on her shoulder Madison reached up taking her earbuds out of her ears "Yeah Bubba…" she spoke before opening her eyes. Her eyes fluttering open, expecting to see her brother standing above her, was surprised to find the eyes of her mysterious stranger looking down at her. A smile plastered on his lips, that same sexy smile that haunted her thoughts since the day she had met him. Being caught off guard Madison jumped up, forgetting the fact that the chair was leaning back, causing the chair to tumble backwards, with her in it. Freefalling backwards, Madison screeched as she flung backwards, her back hitting the floor, as she landed with a 'thump.' Everyone in the room turning to face the loud sound, as Madison laid there for a moment, covering her eyes in embarrassment. Staying still as she heard Beth exclaim "Oh my god are you ok?" before hearing Jeff and Shannon burst out laughing. Madison released a deep breath before jumping to her feet quickly and nervously "Yeah, I'm fine…" Madison spoke, trying to swallow the redness that pooled her face. Kevin hearing the thump ran to Madison's side "May-May are you ok" he said seriously, looking over her body with his own eyes, looking for any injuries. Madison, glanced over to the stranger, who simply stood there, that sexy smile still plastered on his lips, causing Madison to turn even redder, as she reached up running a hand through her hair "Yeah I'm fine Bubba…" Kevin pulled back for a moment before he spoke "Come on, I'm taking you to the trainer, just to make sure" he said sternly, grabbing Madison by the arm, pulling her out of the room. Madison followed behind Kevin, quickly glancing back at her mysterious stranger one more time, before her brother pulled her out of the room.
After spending a half hour in the trainer's room, Kevin and Madison walked out of the room, walking out to the parking garage. "I told you I was fine Bubba!" Madison argued as they made their way to the car. Kevin sighed "You could of hit your head! You could have been really hurt!" he explained, as Madison simply rolled her eyes, as he continued in a more stern voice "Hey!" Madison looked over to her brother as he continued "It's my job to protect you…" Madison nodded her head "Yeah yeah I know" she said as she plopped down in the car. Kevin plopping down in the drivers seat, inserting the key into the ignition as he spoke "What's your problem?" Madison looked out the window as she spoke "Nothing" she said sternly with a venomous tone in her voice. Kevin glanced over to his sister before he spoke in a deep tone "Get over it…" and sped out of the parking lot. Madison couldn't hold it back any more as she yelled at her brother "Get over it? You just humiliated me!" she said releasing a deep breath. Kevin glanced over to Madison, a slight smile appeared on his lips as he chuckled to himself before speaking "There's nothing to be humiliated about…and if anyone gives you a hard time, you tell me" he spoke sternly. Madison rolled her eyes, as she turned back to look at the window, silence encompassing the car for a few moments before Madison spoke "You just don't get it" she said in almost a whisper tone. Kevin glanced over to see his sister staring blankly out of the window, and he just wished she would understand how important she is. How important she is to him, and how many people would kill to get to her, and worse yet, how many people would love to kill her. Kevin took a deep breath, turning back to the road, he cleared his throat before speaking "I'm sorry…" a few moments of silence passed before he continued "I've never seen you this upset with me before" he spoke solemnly. Madison took a deep breath before she answered quietly "well this has never happened before…" Kevin glanced at his sister once more as he asked "What?" he watched as his sister simply shook her head, as her skin took a slight tint of red.
Pulling into the driveway, Madison quickly jumping out and making her way inside of the small house, as Kevin collected his things. Kevin could tell Madison was still upset, as Kevin chuckled to himself, before speaking aloud "Women, I'll never understand them!" he said with a smile as he closed the trunk.
Madison quickly made her way through the house, making it to her room she shut the door locking it, tossing her books on the desk that sat across the room, before she plopped down on the bed. Her mind processing the events of the day, and immediately the handsome stranger's face appeared in her mind, his sexy smile, his deep voice, his short blonde hair, the mischievous look in his eyes that seemed to always be hiding just beneath the surface. She closed her eyes to keep the mental image fresh in her mind, as she thought about him. The way her body felt everytime he was near her, the way her skin jumped when he talked to her, the butterflies she got when she saw him. Opening her eyes, glaring up at her bare ceiling, Madison took a deep breath as she spoke to her self "You need to get a hold of your self Madison! It's just a crush, and that's it, nothing more and nothing less…" she spoke as she nodded her head, almost like she was trying to convince herself more than anything.
