A few days had past since the incident at the talent meeting, Madison hadn't seen her stranger in days, and almost everything was forgotten, as she pulled out her laptop, sitting it on the table in the Kevin's locker room. She focused on the paper she was supposed to be writing, but honestly she just couldn't get over the mysterious stranger, she had kind of hoped she would run into him again.
Staring blankly at the screen in front of her, Madison sighed, before glancing up to the clock on the far wall. Letting out another deep breath, Madison sighed, thinking to herself "God, I'm gonna be here forever." The taping hadn't even started yet, and she was already bored. Kevin was in a meeting with Jarrett and Dixie, and right after that the taping started, so she had another 3 hours to herself at least. On top of that Jeff Hardy and Beth weren't in town for this taping. Madison ran her hand through her hair, as she gently closed the laptop, standing from her seat. "Maybe a walk will clear my mind" Madison thought as she glanced around the locker room quickly, before walking out into the busy hallways.
Madison walked by the numerous people who were busying themselves for the taping. Trying to stay out of the way, Madison made her way to the back hallways that were mainly used for storage of the equipment and ring items, and the small gym TNA had put in for the superstars. She walked calmly down the lit hallways, she always hung out at the gym when she needed time to think, looking at the bare hallways as she continued to walk. Madison couldn't help but smile because she knew there wouldn't be anyone in the gym, it being this close to filming. Finally, reaching the door Madison turned the door handle and slowly opened the door, and to her surprise the lights were on in the small room full of weight machines, and on the far side of the room standing in front of the mirror stood a lone man.
She stood in the doorway shocked, as she looked across the room into the full size mirror, watching the man's reflection as he lifted the 45lb dumbbells repeatedly. Her eyes slowly moved from the mirror to the man, as she took in his appearance, he wore a tight tanktop that hung low off of his neck, basketball shorts that hung loosely. Madison couldn't help but clearing her throat, as her mouth suddenly got dry. The man continued his workout, as if he didn't notice her, just as Madison was about to walk out she heard a deep voice "Come keep me company…" the man spoke calmly. Madison froze, slowly turning around, her eyes looking into the mirror once again, and she could see the smile on his face as he continued to lift the weights.
The butterflies were jittering in her stomach as she took a deep breath, before walking into the gym, taking a seat on a bench that was next to the racks of dumbbells. Her eyes glued to her stranger as he continued to curl the weights, his biceps bulging with each lift. The sweat running down his face, she followed the drops of sweat as some cascaded onto his chest, others continued down his neck. Her mouth getting dryer and dryer, her stomach in knots practically.
Madison jumped as the loud bang of the weights hitting the floor echoed through the room. She shook herself out of her thoughts, as her stranger took a seat on the bench across from her, as he tried to get his breath out of control. She watched him grab his towel, and wipe it over his short blonde hair and over his face, as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his kness, looking deep into her blue eyes, he spoke "Are you ok? I heard you went to the trainers…" Madison couldn't help the tinge of redness that appeared on her face, as that day came back to her mind. "Yeah I'm fine…" she spoke as she sighed "My brother can be kind of crazy sometimes…" she practically stuttered out. The stranger leaned back, stretching his back before speaking with a smile "He's kind of over protective isn't he?" a wide smile on his face. Madison sighed before responding "you have no idea…" Silence happened for a few moments, before the stranger stood, resting the towel on his shoulders, he spoke "Well I would be too, if I had a cute sister like you" he said winking. Madison sat there almost in shock, as she watched him walk to the raised bench, he climbed on locking his legs, as he began doing situps. She stood from her bench, walking over to the machine he was using, resting her arms on the small poles that locked his feet into place, as he continued to lift his weight into a sitting position. She simply watched as he concentrated, his body getting closer to hers each time he sat forward. The silence was broke again when he spoke "So I'm guessing your brother doesn't like it when the boys come after you huh?" he said continuing his sit up routine. Madison rolled her eyes, and couldn't stop herself before she responded "Well, the boys don't really like me." Her stranger stopped in the middle of his sit up, his body just inches from hers, his eyes pouring into hers as he questioned "Why would you say that?" Madison simply shrugged before answering "I don't know…It's just never happened before…" Her stranger let a smile cross his lips as he continued on with his sit-ups before continuing the conversation "So you don't know how your brother would react if a man took a liking to you?" Madison was enthralled with watching him do his sit-ups as she simply nodded her head in agreement. The stranger stopped once again, in a sitting position, leaning forward his face inches from hers when he spoke "Well, maybe we should find out?" a sexy smile on his lips. Madison knew her skin had to be red, as his eyes danced with hers.
The stranger breaking the moment as he unlocked his legs from the bench, pulling himself to a standing position, wiping his face once again with his towel, before looking back to Madison "I should probably get going" he said with a smile. Madison nodded her head, still not sure if she could talk, she watched him as he walked to the door, just reaching the door he turned back to face her "I'm Ken…" Madison couldn't fight the smile that came across her lips, finally she knew his name! "I'm Madison" she spoke with a slight shake in her voice, Ken smiled wide before responding "Pretty name for a Pretty girl" He said and with a quick wink he walked out of the locker room.
Madison stood in the locker room stunned as a few moments passed, her mind reliving the scene that just happened. "His name is Ken" she said aloud with a smile, as she shook her head in disbelief before exiting the gym.
