Madge POV
"Oh Madge! You're sure early today." Crystal gives me a warm greeting.
"Well, I had nothing better to do." I give her a smile.
"Hmm, you're still in your PJ's sweet heart." I look down, I forgot to change after visiting Gale, I don't have anything to wear but those slutty clothes. I'd rather not walk around in them. I laugh.
"Yeah, I don't have much to wear, once I earn some cash I'll buy something." Crystal looks around suspiciously.
"You know… we don't have many customers in the day time. How bought you and I go on a shopping spree!" she smiles lightly.
"Oh no, you don't have to do that."
" Yes, I do. MARIO!" she yells to her chubby husband in the back kitchen.
"WHAT!" he calls with the same force.
"Madge and I are going shopping, see you later." she blows him a kiss and drags me out the door.
"Really Crystal, you don't have to do this, I'll feel like I'll owe you more. You're already giving me a place to stay and-" Crystal covers my mouth.
"Honey, I don't have any children to spoil. Just think of yourself as my daughter." she laughs and presses the elevator button. "So Madge, I realized you weren't at our house for breakfast today… Where were you?"
"Oh, uh, I was apologizing to someone." Crystal gasps,
"Could it have been the hunky man that saved you last night?" her eyes light up with excitement. I laugh.
"Yup, that would be Gale." I tell her honestly.
"Why do you have to apologize. He was the one who acted like a complete Douche bag." I can't help but burst out with laughter at Crystal's vocabulary.
"Gale saved me from the hell hole I was living in. I treated him like dirt, we both just needed to talk." I hope this ends our conversation. We arrive at a store called, Le Fish. I'm getting annoyed by these themed names.
"Ooh! They're having a sale! Girl, I'm going to also shop for myself, you look around and pick up anything you want." she winks and skips off to her shopping paradise. I look around, look at the prices. Even though there's a sale everything is so damn expensive. Maybe just a couple of summer dresses and a pair of jeans and some shirts. I don't need that much.
Gale POV
Sleeping, watching porn, drinking. Is pretty much how I spend the rest of my day after Madge left. Should I be cleaning up? Finding a job instead? Yes. I should, do I give a shit of what I should be doing? No. I don't. But, I know there's one thing that I really want to do. I want to see Madge again. I want to hold her, help her, kiss her, touch her, do things to her that she could never imagine. Wait… why am I thinking this way. I never cared about her in District 12, I thought she was dead, and now all of a sudden I want her? Maybe it's my hangover talking.
Another thing I need to do is take a shower, usually I never care what I look or smell like but, after Madge was over I was extremely embarrassed which never happens to me. Gale Hawthorne never ever EVER gets embarrassed. And since I'm already half naked a shower wont kill me. I turn on the shower, get out of my boxers and step in.
"Hells Teeth." I grumble at myself. I forgot to take my damn socks off. I'm too lazy to take them off so I shower with my socks on. Of course as I move to turn down the heat I slip, and of course I'm too hung over to catch myself as my head cracks on the side of the tub. Now my visions blurry and starts to go dark. Karma for being to goddamn lazy. Hells teeth..
Madge POV
Crystal forced me to buy every color of dresses I could find. All I can do is thank her from the bottom of my heart and work my ass off to pay them back. Which I'm currently working on. Business is starting slow, but I'm back in my interesting uniform, serving nasty alcohol. At least I'm getting good tips, but what's on my mind right now isn't money. It's Gale. In my head are images of his half naked body, his broad shoulders, toned back, incredible biceps and abs. I want him to hold me again, I want him to… touch me. Gah! What am I thinking, You want him to fu- Gah! Stop thinking, just work. Goodness, Inner Madge sure is blunt.
I've been working for two hours straight now. Crystal said I can leave for awhile, just to come back once nighttime has fallen. Should I go see Gale again? Maybe he's annoyed of me. No I should go back to my room and sleep… No, I want to see Gale. I run up to my room to change into one of my new dresses. It's a little short, but it has flower patterns all over it. It's a spaghetti strap, it reminds me of home.
I run down to the elevator, glad it was already stopped at my floor. I book it to Gale's room, and stop at his door. Why is my heart beating? I knock on his door softly and it opens. I guess he didn't lock his door? I hear sounds in his bedroom.
"Gale…?" the voices get louder as I slowly head towards the open room.
"Oh yeah… YES YES YES! Oh baby… yeah!" my heart starts to pound, am I interrupting something? What the hell is going on. I burst into the room, frightened of what I might be walking into.
"Gale Hawthorne what the hell are you doing!" I open my eyes. Nobody's in the room, his television is turned on. Oh my god. Porn? Really Gale, really.. I role my eyes and shut off the disturbing images. I hear the shower running through the door next to his bedroom. The lights are on inside, so that's where he is. I walk over and knock. "Gale, it's me." I get no answer.
I knock again, "Gale?" should I open the door? No, no, he'll answer, I can't just walk in. He's naked! That's exactly why we want to walk in. Shut up inner Madge! I pound on the door. "Gale!" can he not hear me? I cover my eyes with one hand and slowly walk in. "Gale I'm coming in." To my surprise I don't get yelled at, is he not in here? I slowly remove my hand and nearly faint.
Gale is slumped over the side of the tub, blood dripping from his head, socks still on and totally… naked. " Gale!" I run over to his side and try to wake him up. I pull the rest of his freezing body out of the tub. The shower water is ice cold. I put a towel over Gale's junk and rest his head on my lap. I part his hair to see if his head is cracked open. I only find a large cut across his head, it's stopped bleeding and it's not death threatening. I leave Gale on the floor and turn off the shower. What the hell happened, maybe it's because he was drunk or… I look back down to his socks. Oh, that's why. I'm not very strong but I manage to hook my arms under Gale's arms and drag him back to his room. Meanwhile his towel is starting to slide off as well. I can't avoid my eyes, I start blushing. Gale Hawthorne is truly a man.
I hurry and get his bed ready, it's going to take all my strength to lift him up. As I place my arms under his I realize how heavy he is. He's so full of muscle and I'm stick and bones. Ok Madge, you can do it. On the count of three. I say mentally to myself. 1.. 2.. 3! His limp body weighs so much, wait, scratch that. His limp NAKED body weighs a ton. My whole face is red as I try to haul him up. I'm picking him up from his back, which is not a good way to hold him. I'll either have to lay down and push him off me from the bed which is not what I want to do. Or, I have to pick him up from.. The front.
I can do this, just ignore his.. Manliness. Inner Madge is at it again. I attempt to put him down gently but he slumps to the ground with a thud. Oh god, why did you have to become unconscious, and in the shower too! I grab him from under the arms and lift, his cold lips press against my breast.
"Gah!" I squeal, he drops to the ground. Oops. Madge, he's not conscious, just get this over with. I grab him again and lift him up higher. His cool lips settle on my neck, his warm breath sends shivers down my spine. I haul him onto the bed, with his legs hanging off the side, and me on top of him. A groan escapes his lips. Like a ninja I fling myself off of him. Heart pounding, he makes no sudden movements.
I walk back up to him and put his legs onto the bed and pull the covers over him. His lips start to chatter. Maybe if I get some hot pads and make hot chocolate when he wakes up will help. I walk into his kitchen to see what he has. No hot chocolate, but tea, while I heat up water I walk into his bathroom. Since this is nurse Gale's room, I'm pretty sure he has some hot pads. I was right, I walk back into his room and place one on his head, and under his back. He shivers violently, teeth chattering like there's no tomorrow.
To tell you the truth, I can't explain of what I'm about to do. I climb onto his bed, look down at his moist lips. My hearts beating rapidly, I put my hand on his cheek, bend down, and kiss him. I have no idea, why I'm kissing him, but I can't stop. His cool lips on mine make me crazy. I kiss his jaw line, all the way down to his neck and collar bone. Is this considered rape? What if he wakes up? What am I doing! Gale starts to stir under me and a groan of pain comes from his beautiful lips.
"Ahh Madge…" he sighs seductively. Oh no, he's waking up. I hop off of him and run into the kitchen to stir the tea.
Gale POV
Warmth, envelopes me. Something warm is traveling from my lips to neck, neck to collar bone. Something warm is surrounding my body. But, I'm in pain. I don't want to think of the warmth and pain. All I want to think about is Madge.
"Ahh Madge." I sigh to myself, and in a matter of seconds the warmth leaves. No, don't leave come back. I open my eyes and find myself in my room. I'm naked under my covers. Why the fuck am I naked again? Oh yeah, I took a shower, and something happened. I don't remember. Oh that's right, I feel and cracked my head. M y head! Hells Teeth, that's what the pain was. What the hell was the warmth then? I look up and find a hot pad resting on my head. Was that it? No, it was something else, what was it?
Then it hits me, somebody is in my house. Found me in my bathtub and brought me to my bed. My cheeks turn red, damnit stop blushing. You're a man Gale cut it out. I sit up and look through my doorway to see if anyone was still here. A blonde babe in a dress is mixing something in my kitchen. I clear my throat.
"Um… Hello?" The mystery chick turns out to be Madge… MADGE? Did she do this? Was she the one who found me unconscious. I look under the covers, ah hells teeth. She saw me naked.
"Gale, you're awake!" she comes in holding a cup of tea. "Here drink this, it will make you feel better.
Madge POV
I hand Gale the cup of tea, his face is bright red, and I'm guessing mine is as well. He drinks it all in one gulp and color returns to his lips. The lips that I just kissed.
"Gale, what the heck happened to you? I came to visit you and you were out cold, in the.. Shower." his cheeks turn red again. He tries to play it cool.
" I still had a hangover and forgot to take my socks off and I slipped. Not a big deal." he looks away still blushing.
"Gale it is a big deal you cut your head. And-" I look at his alarm clock on his night stand. "Shit!" I totally forgot to go back into work.
"What is it Princess?" Gale says in a cold tone. I'm offended but I could care less right now.
"I'm going to be late for work, just take care of yourself better ok?" I lean over him to take the cup from his night stand to put it away. And I'm out the door.
Gale POV
Madge leans her curvy body over me to grab my cup of tea. Warmth overwhelms me and I lose my breath. The warmth from earlier was from Madge, the warmness from my lips, neck, collar bone. The warmth that was on my body.. Was Madge. She's out the door before I can stop her. What was Madge doing?
