A couple hours passed, Madison sat in the locker room, her feet up on the table as she leaned back in the chair, out like a light. Madison was awoke when she heard the loud laugh of Kurt Angel, turning to look at the doorway, she rubbed her groggy eyes as her brother entered the locker room. "You napping on the job kiddo?" Kurt teased as he walked by her, making his way to his locker, Madison smiled a little as she watched Kurt and Kevin get settled into the locker room. Kevin plopping down on a chair near Madison, he spoke "Get your paper finished?" Madison shrugged as she spoke "No, I couldn't concentrate, I'll do it later…" she tried to explain only to hear her brother respond shortly "It needs to get done…" Madison rolled her eyes, as she ran a hand through her hair before continuing "I got it bubba, I am an adult…" Kevin sighed as he grabbed a towel from his bag, he stood from his chair then retorted "Then be one, and do what you have to do…" then walked into the shower portion of the locker room.
Madison couldn't deny herself the fact that she enjoyed spending time with Ken. What was there not to like? He was nice, charming, funny and good looking. She sat in Kevin's locker room, tapping her fingers impatiently, waiting for his cue to head to gorilla position. 'Got a hot date?' Kevin spoke, tying his boots. Madison tried to hide the blush, as she spoke 'No…' Kevin eyed his sister before continuing, 'You seem like your waiting on something' Madison forced her fingers to stop tapping, before responding 'Just wanna get this report done, and I can't do it with you sitting here bugging me.' She teased as Kevin chuckled. Kevin stood form his seat on the bench 'Showtime' he spoke, before engulfing his sister in a quick hug before leaving the locker room. Madison opened her laptop, her eyes gazed at the screen. She tried to concentrate, but after 20 minutes of nothing, Madison gave in as she closed the laptop. Looking up at the clock, Madison spoke to Kurt, who was laying on the couch in the locker room. 'I'm gonna go see Beth' Kurt simply gave a thumbs up, never even opening his eyes, before Madison rushed out of the room.
Madison casually strolled the backstage hallways, she couldn't help but hope she would run into Ken again. Walking to Jeff Hardy's locker room, her breath hitched in her throat as she saw Ken, walking towards her in the vacant hallway. Ken's face lit up when he saw her, as Madison stood in the hallway. Ken rushed Madison, enough to make Madison instinctively back on to the wall, Ken resting his arms on the wall on both sides of her. Madison's breaths came quicker as Ken had her now sandwiched between the wall and his hard body. Ken simply smiled wide before speaking 'You really are the cutest girl here…' Madison only blushed, causing Ken to speak again 'I like turning you red' Madison shot back 'It's not hard to do.' Ken laughed before responding 'Means your listening to me though' Madison rolled her eyes before Ken spoke again 'Were you looking for me?' Madison shook her head 'no', before scoffing then responding 'No! I was coming to visit Beth and Jeff.' Ken simply smiled smugly as Madison fought in her defense 'Shut up! I wasn't!' she exclaimed before lightly swatting Ken on the arm. Ken pushed himself off the wall before speaking 'I'm going to catering in like 10 minutes, some cute company would make the meal so much better.' He finished with a wink, before walking down the hallway. Madison stood there stunned, almost before calling after him 'You mean me right?' Ken never broke stride, without turning around he yelled back 'There's no one else baby!' Madison blushed while watching Ken turn the corner.
Stealing a quick glance at her cell phone to get the time, She knew Kevin had a run-in during Kurt's match, so he wouldn't be looking for her for a while yet. Taking a deep breath, Madison calmed a few stray nerves before hurrying to catering. Walking in, Madison scanned the many tables, most of them unusually empty, but then again during the show, most people were either busy or watching the show. Madison stood there for a moment, until she recognized a familiar deep voice 'Funny, running into you here' he spoke with a smile. Madison smiled as she walked towards the table 'You did pretty much invite me…' she spoke honestly as Ken interrupted 'So I helped fate out a bit…' Causing Madison to laugh. She approached the table, as Ken pulled the chair next to him out a bit, patting the seat with his hand. Madison smiled as she moved to his side of the table, sitting in the chair he insisted for her, she jumped when he grasped the chair suddenly, pulling it closer to his. 'Easy girl, I just wanted to get you closer to my plate.' He spoke with a smirk on his lips. Madison blushed as he continued 'cause you're gonna help me eat this right?' Madison reached out, grabbing a stray strawberry from his plate before responding 'You could of just moved the plate.' Taking a bite of the strawberry. Ken followed suit, grabbing the other strawberry from his plate, draping his free arm around the back of Madison's chair, he leaned closer to Madison, his eyes pouring into hers as he lifted the strawberry to his lips, speaking softy 'but where's the fun in that?' before taking a bite into the luscious strawberry. Madison couldn't help the blush that rose to her cheeks, as she turned away, hoping the lack of eye contact would lessen her blush.
Ken simply chuckled to himself as he leaned forward, taking a bite out of his bread over his plate. Madison liked spending time with Ken, he always could make her laugh. Finishing the whole plate, only one lone cheese cube laid on the newly empty plate. Madison laughed as she reached for it, only to feel Ken's hand reach out and grab hers. A totally innocent gesture, sent shocks throughout her body, as she turned and made eye contact with Ken. Ken jokingly teased 'You may be cute, but that last cheese cube is mine' Madison smiled before responding 'I thought we were sharing?' Ken laughed before responding 'We were…but that's my cheese cube.' Madison tried her best to stare down Ken, as their hands remained locked above the small cube of cheese. Ken glancing over to the doorway before speaking 'Jeff, tell the girl, that when it comes to food, cuteness will never win!' Madison's head snapping up, and there standing in the doorway of catering was Jeff Hardy and Beth. Madison's eyes grew wide as hers met Beth's, then looking to Jeff who simply had a smug smile on his lips, as Jeff and Beth began walking their way. Jeff answering Ken 'That depends bro, what kind of food?'
Ken answering as Jeff pulled out a chair across from Madison at the table 'Cheese.' Jeff responding 'Cheese? No way, the man has to have his cheese… it's part of the man-law' Madison rolled her eyes before pulling her hand back, letting Ken have the last cube of cheese. Ken smiled widely after eating his last cheese cube, when Madison spoke 'Look at you…all happy cause you got the last cheese!' Ken stood from his seat before saying 'I'm smirking cause I got to hold your hand, maybe next time I won't have to trick you to do it.' With a wide smile, before leaving the table to dump the tray in the trash. 'Next time huh?' Jeff spoke quietly, earning him a dirty look from Madison, before Ken returned 'Alright, gotta sign some papers for Jarrett, I'll catch you later bro' Ken spoke patting Jeff on the back, giving Beth a quick hug, then turning to Madison 'Let's do this again, Cutie' causing Madison to blush, as Ken gave her a quick wink and left catering.
The moment Ken disappeared around the corner, Madison leaned forward on the table in a serious tone 'You can NOT tell Kevin about this!' Jeff laughing while Beth spoke 'Why Not? It's cute!' Madison rolled her eyes, "There is no it! He asked me to lunch, I said yes' Madison responded truthfully. Jeff quirked his eyebrow before responding 'denial doe not suit you!' Madison stood from her seat, Beth and Jeff following as Beth asked honestly 'Do you like him?' Madison stopped in her tracker, turning towards Jeff and Beth. The blush apparent on Madison's face as she rubbed her face with her hand. Beth smiled reassuringly as she put her arm around Madison's shoulders, "Sweetie, look Ken's a great guy, if you wanna see where this goes, Jeff and I will help as much as possible for you two to spend time together." Madison looked into Beth's eyes when Jeff interjected "Even if it means hiding you two from big bad Kevin!" Madison smiled at Jeff "Well I…" her thoughts coming to a stop, when she heard the loud voice of her brother booming down the hallway. "Madison! I've been searching everywhere for you!" Kevin spoke, walking down the hallway towards his sister. Madison smiled as she gave her brother a hug, before speaking "Sorry Bubba…" Beth interrupting "We took her to get some lunch, we figured we you'd be awhile yet, so we took her to get some food." Beth spoke confidently. Kevin looked from Beth to Jeff, who was smiling wide, before glancing to Madison "Thanks" he spoke before walking Madison back down the hallway, into his locker room.
