Chapter 8: Another Name on the List
Madison passed the next dish to Jack and shoved her hands back into the soapy, grimy water, "This isn't exactly how I planned to spend my evening..."
Jack dryed the plate and took the next one from her, "You think I wanted this to happen?"
She scrubbed harder, "Guess that's why they don't put prices on the damn menus-if people knew how much they were playing they'd never eat here!"
"We can ask Medda for help-she's almost done performing!"
"Jack! That's not the point...Besides, I've already got food spots on Chloe's dress...even with this so called apron on..." they were silent for several minutes, "You know...you still haven't explained to me why you were in her room the other night..."
"Come on Madison...I told you it was nothing!"
"Really? If you didn't so anything bad then why can't you just tell me? How am I supossed to trust you?"
"I just can't explain it right now-I know it sounds bad but-"
"You know, I knew I should have stayed away from you. You'rea one-night guy Jack. And to be perfectly honest I don't want to be another name on your list..."
She threw the dish at him and tossed her apron aside as she walked back out into the resturaunt. Medda was singing as she leaned up against the back walland decided to watch...
Life is a holiday.
I'm talking June through May.
A nightly sell-out show,
And baby, I'm front row.
Bye-bye to lonely nights,
Only nights when the two of us can coo.
Skies are sunny and clear,
Long as I'm here with you.
The world's a Sugar Bowl,
It's sevens ev'ry roll.
Sneak peek at paradise;
The view is mighty nice.
I got no blues to sing;
Choose to sing a melody for two.
Happy ending is near,
Long as I'm here with you.
Madison became fed up with the words of the song and was about to continue out the door when she changed her mind. She headed back stage to wait for Medda....
Who cares if there's no booze,
Or that the Yankees lose?
Can't pay my income tax,
But in spit of the facts,
No one could ask for more,
Kid in a candy store!
The jackpot has been hit;
I'm living proof of it.
And as for all that passed,
Call that past!
I found a heart that's true.
What a red-letter year,
Long as I'm here with you.
And you. And you and you and you and you,
And yeah, you too.
So happy dear,
Long as I'm here with,
Long as I'm here with you!
"Wonderful job Miss Medda, and there's someone in your your dressing room that wants to speak with you..."
"Thank you Addie-who is it?"
"I believe it's Miss Madison."
Sure enough, Medda walked in to find Madison, "Madison my dear-how are you?"
She hugged her, "Well to be honest-I need some advice..."
Medda closed the door and listened intentlyto Madison explain her internal struggle. She wanted to trust Jack but in the back of head this voice kept pestering-what was he doing? Is he using you? Then she went on to explain her plan ot marry her boss so she wouldn't have to liveon the streets.
"Honey let me tell you something-when I met my husband he was the poorest son-of-a-gun I'd ever met! But boy did I fall hard! He got me this green-glass ring, and it was the most beautiful ring. I didn't care that we would be poor, I still said yes. Well...one day a lady told me my emerald ring was gorgeous. I thought emerald? I ended up in a jewler's shop only to have him tell me yep, it's an emerald alright. I thought my boy stole it! Well....long story short, I found out he really was wealthy. He just didn't think it mattered. Boy was he right. You see, I loved him even though I thought he had nothing, and it turned out he had everything! Honey, those green-glass loves are rare. If you've got yourself one, nothing can stop it. He'll come around I promise-I know Jack. He's not the womanizer he comes off as."
"Thanks Medda..." Madison walked back to the hotel thinking hard. Should she waste all her emotion and energy on this guy? Or should she just fall back into her original plan...
