The next month went by smoothly, Ken and Madison stayed together with Jeff and Beth's help, besides a few close calls, Kevin and the others had no idea about Madison and Ken. Ken was getting closer to his in-ring debut, and Madison couldn't wait to see him on TV. Sitting in Kevin's locker room, relaxing on the couch waiting for Kevin and Kurt to get back from their tag team match. Ken was in a meeting with wardrobe, so Madison had some alone time, to just relax. A few moments later, Madison jumped as a loud knock banged on the door. Madison getting up and answering it, opening the door, there stood Ken on the other side. Madison's eyes growing wide, as Ken spoke with a smile "I had a wardrobe meeting, so I came by to see my favorite girl." Madison nervously fidgeted, as she let Ken into the locker room. Closing the door, Madison turned to face Ken, suddenly Ken's body pressed against hers, his hands resting on her door, on either side of her body, as Ken's lips met hers. The kiss immediately becoming a deep, passionate kiss, as Ken's mouth dominated hers, a moan escaping Madison. Ken smiled against her lips, his hands moving from the door to her body, his fingers tracing light patterns up and down her curves. The kiss finally breaking, as they both panted, out of breath. Ken's lips now leaving butterfly kisses down Madison's neck as she spoke with a shaky voice "Ken, you shouldn't be here…" Ken moaned before speaking, his lips still against her neck "Do you want me to stop?" Madison's body was on fire, and lord knows she didn't want him to stop, but she also knew Kevin would be back any minute. Madison spoke in a whisper "Kevin will be back any minute." Ken stopped, pulling away, frustrated as she took a few steps into the locker room, running his hand through his short blonde hair, as he exhaled. Madison still standing against the door, when Ken looked back at her as he spoke "So what if Kevin sees me in here?" Madison took a few steps away from the door, standing a few feet from Ken now, as he continued "I mean you're a grown woman! I get he's protective, but Madison, come on!" Madison watched as Ken took a couple deep breaths, a smile spreading across his lips as he held his arms out, inviting her. Madison stepped forward hugging Ken, as his arms wrapped around her body, as he spoke softly "I'm sorry, I just don't like this sneaking around." Madison pulled away to look into Ken's eyes as he continued "I hate having to hide my feeling, not being able to touch you when I want, everything. I've always been an in-your-face kind of guy, hiding things is not my expertise." Madison smiled as she spoke "I'm gonna tell Kevin, just right now is not the time." Ken sighed, before speaking gently, pulling her closer to him as he spoke "Alright, I'll go but only if give me one for the road." He finished, smiling. Madison blushed, before leaning in and connecting their lips once more, this time her tongue searching for his, as he accepted the invite to deepen the kiss. Their lips moving together in a passionate rhythm, when suddenly the door flung open, Jarrett standing in the doorway.
Ken and Madison quickly pulled apart, as Jarrett's eyes grew wide, as it registered what he had just seen. Stepping into the locker room quickly, approaching Ken he spoke seriously "You need to get out of here and now." Ken scoffed slightly before retorting "Jarrett, come one, not you too" Jarrett spoke with a serious tone "Kevin will go beserk if he finds you here, you need to go" By this time Ken was getting angry, as he spoke "You know what? Let's bring Kevin in, Let's get this all out in the open!" Jarrett was about to respond, when Kevin's voice boomed through the small room "Get what out in the open?" Ken, Madison and Jarrett all turning to see Kevin standing in the doorway. "Nothing Kevin." Jarrett spoke calmly, glancing over to Madison, as Kevin spoke sternly "Madison?" Madison's eyes growing wide, her mouth opening about to speak when Ken spoke up "Kevin…." Kevin's attention turning to Ken as he continued "I'm gonna be frank, I like Madison, she likes me, so we've been seeing each other for a little while now."
Silence filled the room for a moment, Madison's eyes closed waiting for the wrath, Ken glanced around the room before Kevin spoke through clenched teeth "Get Out!" before Ken had time to think, Kevin stepped forward grasping Ken by the shoulder, pulling him to the doorway before quickly saying "Stay away from Madison!" then threw him out into the hallway slamming the door shit. Madison watched as her brother paced across the locker room, she knew he was angry. Jarrett spoke calmly "Kevin, calm down, it's no big deal" Kevin didn't even look at Jarrett when he spoke "Leave. I need to talk to my sister." Jarrett sighed as he left the locker room, Madison tried to explain, "Look, Ken's a good guy" Kevin only nodded as he sat on the couch in the room. Madison continued "He's really nice and funny. I think he really likes me and I like him." She rambled before Kevin spoke loudly "Stop!" Madison stopped speaking as Kevin stood from his seat "It's over Madison! You will stay far away from Ken, you got it?" Madison angrily fought back "Why?" Kevin's eyes grew wide "You will, or I will no longer allow you to come to TNA tapings with me." A slight panic shot through Madison, these people were the only friends she had, she didn't want to lose them. Madison replied "Kevin why?" Kevin walked over to Madison, still speaking sternly "I mean it. No More Ken. Got it?" Madison shook her head as she fought back "No! I like him Kevin!" Kevin yelled back "I don't care! I'm your brother! It's my job to protect you! No Ken!" he yelled the last part loudly. Madison jumped as her brother's voice boomed into the small room. Kevin walked by her into the shower area saying his last remark of "it ends tonight" before heading into the shower area.
Madison swallowed the small cryball in her throat, as she felt the anger in her rise to a boiling point. Getting angrier, Madison reached over, punching the wall hard, the plaster crumbling around her hand, as the new hole in the wall stood out. Madison grabbing her hand, as she sat down on the couch. The whole ride home, and hours at home were nothing but arguments between Kevin and Madison. That night, Madison laid in bed, she couldn't stop the tears that fell from her eyes, as she thought about the time she spent with Ken. She thought about how Ken made her feel, how much she looked forward to seeing him at every taping. The tears sprung from her eyes, as she quietly cried herself to sleep.
The next couple of weeks were miserable, Madison locked herself in Kevin's locker room during each filming, avoiding contact with almost everyone, especially Ken. He had made his in-ring debut, and she had tears come to her eyes, when she thought about how excited he was for his first match in TNA. She thought about how wonderful it would have been to be able to kiss him when he got off the ramp. Those kisses she missed, the small whispers he often said into her ear, the way she felt wrapped in his arms, the way he smiled when she blushed, the way he smelled, everything.
