A couple hours later, Madison sat in the passenger side seat as Ken threw her bags into the back of the rental car. Her anger still very much inside of her, as Kevin walked to her side of the car, leaning against the window "May-May?" he asked, as Madison looked down to her hands, as he continued "I'm gonna take care of this. I'm gonna take care of everything. Don't worry about anything alright?" Kevin spoke soothingly, reaching out to smooth some of her hair out of her face, as she didn't speak a word. "I love you May-May" Kevin spoke, Madison simply shrugging her shoulders, not replying as he walked away from the door. Ken stood at the back of the car as Kevin shook his hand. "Don't worry about her, she'll come around." Ken spoke as Kevin nodded his head, when he looked out across the land, blinking to fight back tears. "Uh…if you're gonna call me, do it from a prepaid cell phone." Kevin spoke, clearing his throat as Ken nodded his head, before speaking "I'll take care of her Kevin." Ken said sternly as Kevin nodded, before Ken made his way to the car, climbing in and pulling out of the driveway.
The drive was quiet as Madison sat in the passenger seat, she had no idea where they were going and she was pretty sure Ken had no idea either. She watched the scenery fly by her window, her anger still filled her mind as she felt Ken reach over with his free hand, his fingers intertwined with hers. Madison glanced down to her hand connected with his before Ken spoke "You ok?" Madison took a deep breath before speaking "Besides just finding out I'm evil and my whole life has been a lie, I'm fine." She spoke with a sarcastic tone. A few moments of silence filled the vehicle, as they continued down the road, Madison's body jumped when she felt Ken's soft hand on hers. Madison looked down to the arm rest, Ken's hand laying calmly over hers, as she looked up to the man driving. He didn't look over at her, when she spoke softly "I'm sorry." A slight smirk appeared on his lips, before he spoke "Sorry? About what?" glancing over to the girl in the passenger seat. Madison took a deep breath, leaning back against the seat, resting her head against the seat, closing her eyes for a moment before she spoke "I don't know." The radio turned to static again, as Ken let go of her hand for a moment, to push the scan button the radio, before letting his hand rest on top of hers, letting his thumb rub circles on the back of her hand, as Madison sat forward, looking over to Ken "Do you think I'm evil?" Madison asked honestly, her eyes blinking back tears, waiting for the response. A hearty laugh filled the car, before Ken looked over to his girlfriend "You're serious?" he asked, noticing her serious expression. Madison only nodded, as Ken turned his attention back to the road, riding in silence as he pulled the car off of the freeway, pulling up to a gas station. Madison sat still as she watched him turn off the ignition, opening his door, he quickly jumped out of the car, and before Madison could realize what was happening the passenger door flung open, Ken quickly reaching for her knees, spinning her in the seat to face him as he knelt down outside of the car, his eyes level with hers, his hands holding hers, when he spoke. "I want you to listen to me, alright?" Ken spoke seriously, a lone tear sliding down her cheek as she nodded her head. "No, I don't think you're evil." Madison opening her mouth to protest, but quickly stopping as Ken placed a finger over her lips as he continued "Madison, there are serial killers in prison for unimaginable things, and some of those people came from good, church going families. The bottom line is, I don't care. I don't care if you were raised by wolves, I can not honestly believe that you would ever do anything evil." Ken finished with a slight smile, letting his hand drop from her lips when she spoke hurriedly "How can you say that Ken? What if I'd never been taken from my family? I'd be…" Ken quickly interjecting "You'd still be you Madison. Sure, you might not be exactly the same, but you'd still be the adorable, sexy, sweet woman I've taken a liking too." Ken said smiling as Madison blushed at the comment when Ken continued "You know what that song says 'I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did as long as you love me'" Ken finishing as he swooped in closer for a kiss, Madison reaching out to stop them just before his lips met hers, when she spoke "Did you really just quote the backstreet boys?" Madison spoke laughing hysterically. Ken's eyes grew wide, pulling out his phone, searching through his history as he spoke "What?" Madison laughed harder as she explained "That was a backstreet boys song. I never knew you were a fan." Ken's face turned a slight shade of red as his face turned into a sheepish expression when he mumbled "Damn Pandora…" Madison reached out wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her as he continued to fuss with his phone, when he spoke again "I'm never gonna listen to that damn station again" Madison cupping his head in her hands forcing him to face her, her lips moving closer to his as she whispered "No, it was sexy." Ken's lips turned into a smile as he whispered "Really? Backstreet Boys?" Madison slightly nodded her head, as smile on her lips before she replied with "Shut up and kiss me" before closing the gap between them, her lips meeting his gently. Ken's lips immediately dancing with hers, as her tongue dragged across his bottom lip, causing a deep groan to escape Ken.
Ken ended the kiss earlier than Madison would of liked, as he quickly stood up, making his way to the gas pump, filling the tank. Madison scooted back in to the seat, watching as Ken climbed into the seat, turning the ignition on, adjusting the radio and buckling in. Madison took a quick glance out of her window before Ken's hand grasped hers, pulling her body to meet his over the arm console in the middle, their lips crushing together, as Ken's tongue quickly dived into her mouth, learning the taste of Madison once again. Madison's eyes were still closed when Ken quickly ended the kiss abruptly again, smiling wide before putting on his sunglasses, and turning back to the steering wheel, and pulling away and getting back on the freeway.
It seemed like they had driven forever before Ken finally pulled off the freeway pulling into a local motel. Madison walked with him as he paid the desk manager for 2 nights, and followed Ken as he carried both her bag and his to the room they paid for. Ken opened the door and turned on the light as they quickly made their way into the room, plopping the bags down on the ground, locking the door and they both fell into bed exhausted.
Madison awoke the next morning, rubbing her eyes as they tried to focus, she heard the sounds of a local news station as she noticed the TV was on. Glancing around the room she noticed Ken had moved the bags, but he was nowhere to be seen, before Madison could worry the door the bathroom opened and out walked Ken, his hair still dripping wet as he ran his hands through it, a towel wrapped around his midsection as he walked over to where his bag was. Ken's lips curling into a smile when he noticed Madison was awake and watching his every step, he spoke with a deep voice "Morning beautiful." Madison blushed deeply at the comment, before speaking with a groggy voice "Morning." Madison watched as Ken combed his hair, gently spiking it with some product, she couldn't help it there was something sexy about watching him go through his routine. "You know, this whole voyeur side of you is very sexy." Ken spoke, their eyes meeting through the mirror, as Madison blushed looking back to the TV, trying to figure out where they exactly were as she leaned back on the pillows. "So I know we're not in Florida any more, any ideas where we are?" Madison spoke as Ken pulled on a pair of jeans, quickly buttoning them before he walked over, jumping on the bed next to her when he spoke "Not sure, I know we're in Louisiana though." Madison turned to him as he flipped through the TV channels "How do you know?" Ken smiled as he answered "Listen to the newscasters, they all have that familiar accent, and so did the guy at the desk last night." Madison was impressed as she nodded her head turning back to the television, when Ken spoke again "Plus, I caught the weather earlier and it used a big map of the state of Louisiana, so I kind of assumed." Madison turned to her boyfriend, a wide smile on his face as she playfully hit him with the pillow "Cheater!" she exclaimed playfully swatting him in the face with the pillow, Madison's laugh filled the room, as Ken quickly rolled over on top of her, as they wrestled for the pillow. Ken straddled Madison, his hands holding her down as he let go of her hands for a moment, playfully tickling her sides. "Don't start something you can't finish, woman" Ken teased, as he leaned forward, his lips meeting hers. They're kissing was brought to a stop by a knock on the door, a sudden sense of panic filled Madison as she pushed Ken off of her jumping to her feet. Ken watched as she quickly threw on her shoes, then hastily pulled the towel rack off the wall. "Whoa!" Ken exclaimed jumping to his feet, grabbing Madison by the hands, both of them struggling for the rack that was now a weapon. "What if it's them?" Madison exclaimed seriously, struggling to get the rack out of his hands.
Ken was serious as he overpowered her, pulling the rack out of her hands, throwing it on the bed as he wrapped his strong arms around her body, pulling her to him "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you." Madison couldn't help but let loose the next wave of tears that filled her eyes and were soon streaming down her cheeks, as Ken let his hands soothe her hair, he whispered to her "It's gonna be alright baby" Suddenly another knock came through the room, Madison tensed as Ken let her go gently, making his way to the door. Ken's one outstretched arm, his hand still holding on to hers as he peeked through the peep hole, then opened the door to let the maid into the room. Madison took a deep breath as the maid walked in smiling, bringing in her cart from the hallway. She couldn't help but watch the maid's every move, waiting for any hint of unusual activity, the maid smiling each time they made eye contact. Soon enough the maid was done, and was moving on to the next dirty room, as Madison continued breathing, sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her head in her hands "What's wrong with me?" she exclaimed. Ken couldn't help it as he sat down next to her, his arm wrapping around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him as he spoke "Nothing's wrong with you baby. Now go get ready!" He said standing up from the bed. Madison's eyes looked up to meet his as he smiled wide and spoke "Either you go get in that shower, or I'm gonna take you in there and if I do that then I doubt either of us are gonna be getting clean" Ken spoke honestly, ending it with a quick wink.
