The night seemed to come fast, as Madison laid in the bed, in the guestroom at Jeff and Beth's. Tossing and turning for hours, Madison finally stood from the bed, wrapping her robe around her, and slipping on her slippers. She rubbed her tired eyes, before slowly opening the bedroom door. The dark house looked empty, everyone was probably fast asleep like she should be. Taking a deep breath, Madison quietly stepped out of her room, carefully stepping down the hallway, making her way into the kitchen.
Flipping on the light, Madison squinting letting her eyes adjust to the change in the light, Madison walking over to the fridge, opening it, peering inside. "Hey!" a deep voice spoke, booming through the kitchen. Madison's whole body jumping, her heart racing as she put her hand over her heart. Snapping her head, in the direction of the loud voice, seeing Ken standing in the doorway. He stood there, his eyes squinted, wearing only a pair of black boxers. Madison spoke "You scared me!" Ken smiling sleepily, as he ran a hand over his face, before speaking "Sorry babe, I heard you get up." He spoke sitting on a stool at the small breakfast bar in the kitchen.
Madison blushed, her mind quickly reminding her of just how good Ken looked in those boxers. Madison turned towards the fridge, closing it, then turning back to face Ken. "Sorry for waking you, I can't sleep for some reason." Ken smiled before speaking "it's fine, so what's keeping you up?" Ken asked. Madison smiled "I don't know" Ken spoke honestly "Maybe you miss Kevin?" Madison scoffed, rolling her eyes, before speaking "It's not that I miss him, it's just…I've never been away from him you know? He makes me feel safe I guess…" Madison admitted, blushing wildly. Ken spoke "I can understand that" Ken spoke, standing from his seat, taking Madison's hand, leading her out to the living room, sitting on the couch next to her, as he spoke "Well…" he said leaning back on the couch, pulling Madison back to lean against him, resting his legs on the coffee table, Madison snuggling up against Ken's warm chest. Ken spoke sleepily "If it helps any, you can use me as your teddy bear" Madison chuckled slightly before resting her head against his chest, his arms wrapped around her body, holding her close.
Madison awoke the next morning, feeling her pillow moving as her eyes slowly opened. She heard Ken speak "Sorry, was trying to get more comfortable." Madison sat up, rubbing her eyes, then petting the small dog that laid next to her on the couch. Looking over to Ken, who sat against the couch, his hair tussled from sleep, the other small dog asleep on Ken's lap. Madison smiled as the dog on Ken's lap was still fast asleep, "Looks like your just one comfy pillow." Madison said with a smile, Ken reached out petting the small sleeping dog on his lap "I guess so.." he spoke smiling. Madison stood from the couch, stretching as she looked around the empty house, Madison asked "Where'd Jeff and Beth go?" Ken scratched his head, when he answered still groggy "I head them earlier, something about running errands." Madison nodded, as Ken stood, stretching his muscular physique. Madison blushed before speaking "Thanks for…last night." She spoke, Ken smiling wide, as he reached for her, pulling her close to him, quickly swooping in and connecting their lips for a brief kiss. Ken spoke "It's good to do that again…" Madison nodded, before speaking "I guess I should go shower…" she spoke, stepping away from Ken, heading towards the guest room, just getting to the hallway when Ken spoke loudly "If you need a shower after a little kiss like that, wait til you see what else I can do with my mouth!" Madison stopping in her tracks, blushing profusely as she stood in shock for a moment, looking back at Ken, who simply smiled wide, then making her way up to the guest room.
Walking into the guest room, Madison looking through the clothes she brought with her, standing across the room, the blinking the light catching her eye. Moving over to her phone, Madison picked it up, opening the new message from Beth and there on the phone was a picture of her, Ken and the 2 puppies sleeping together on the couch. Madison smiled as she looked at the picture, before putting the phone down and heading into shower.
After showers, Madison sat in the kitchen while Ken looked through the cupboards of food. Madison asked "Are you sure Jeff and Beth aren't gonna mind?" "Nah, I'll buy them more eggs if it's that big of a deal" he said, pulling the eggs out of the fridge. Turning to Madison, "So omelettes it is then…" he said, looking through the cupboards for the items he needed for the meal. Madison leaning against the counter, watching Ken gather his supplies.
A few moments later, Madison mixing up supplies as Ken cooked the eggs. "So what's Kevin so bent on protecting you from?" Ken asked, flipping the omelette. Madison answered with a smile "I don't know, he's always protecting me." Ken spoke "Nothing wrong with that I guess…" Madison continued, tossing the dirty bowl into the sink, "All my life he's always told me his job was to protect me, I swear for the first 10 years of my life, I thought he was my bodyguard." Ken laughing out loud at the remark, as Madison continued "But he's always kept me sage, so I can't complain." Madison said matter of factly. Ken turned off the stove, reaching over, wrapping his arms around Madison's waist, pulling her close to him, when he spoke "I'll protect you" Madison blushed, as Ken continued "I promise." Leaning forward, his lips meeting Madison's, them dancing together in a rhythm both of them kept. The kiss breaking slowly, as Ken spoke "We'll finish this later…" a sly smile on his lips. Madison blushed, as Ken continued "I say that only because, I want you to be amazed by my culinary skills" he finished, waving the plate in front of Madison's face. Madison smiled reaching for the plate, Ken lifting it high, just out of her reach as he spoke "It's not free…" Madison reaching forward, giving him a quick peck on the lips as Ken let the plate down.
