Chapter 31
Those Three Small Words
"Talk to your boyfriend today?" Tony asked as he walked into Madison’s bathroom as she was straightening her hair.
"No, we talked until at least four in the morning last night so I doubt he’s even up yet."
"Why so late? What were you two doing?" Tony asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"Not that you dirty boy." Madison replied laughing.
"So?"
"We were just talking."
"Uh huh sure."
"Seriously, like yesterday was our three month anniversary and well he felt bad because he couldn’t come and see me."
"What’s he doing?" Tony asked curiously.
"Working." Madison replied shrugging.
"Three months you say?"
Madison smiled as she looked at Tony nodding.
"Interesting, didn’t think you two would last that long."
Madison glared at Tony and said, "Well damn thanks that was so nice of you."
"Well you know you two did start off extremely rocky."
"Are you done?" Madison asked putting her hands on her hips.
"Don’t want to hear the truth or what?"
"Not really, it’s completely different now."
"Ok fine." Tony replied defensively.
"It is."
"Ok. I didn’t say I didn’t believe you."
"Fine."
"Ok, what to know something great?" Tony asked excitedly.
"What?"
"I think when we’re done touring and when we get a break Todd is going to move in with me."
"Really? You guys are that serious?"
"I love him."
"Ok."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"What? Jealous?"
Madison set her flat iron down and turned to look at him. "What did you say?"
"Nothing never mind forget I said anything."
"That was really shitty. You don’t even know anything, you’re never around me long enough to talk to me or anything."
"Damn you don’t have to get so defensive. God, I didn’t mean it just forget it."
"Whatever." Madison mumbled as she turned back around to finish her hair.
Tony stared at Madison for a minute and then walked out of the room.
//3 Months Later\\
"Holy shit." Shane said as Madison walked onto the set of their new video.
"What?" Jake asked as turned around looking at Madison.
"Is that Madison?"
"In Britney slash Christina clothes?"
"You can almost see her nipples." Shane said as they both squinted at her as she walked over to them.
"Damn, if those pants rode any lower on her hips you’d be seeing her ass."
"Among other things." Shane whispered as Madison approached them.
"Close your mouths boys before something flies in."
"Uh, Madison did you look in the mirror before you came out here?" Shane asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Yeah. Why do I look bad?" Madison looking down at her outfit and back up at the guys.
"Bad is the opposite of what you look like."
"Oh really?" Madison asked smiling.
"I think your parents might not be too happy about this outfit. You are showing a lot, I mean hella, skin there girl." Shane replied looking her up and down.
"I thought I actually looked good."
"Oh you look good alright."
"Then screw everyone else." Madison said waving her hand lightly in the air.
"Damn this outfit is going to give me dirty dreams about you Madison." Jake said as he continued to stare at her.
"Jake you always have dirty dreams about me." Madison replied laughing.
"Damn Madison what are you trying to do?"
Madison turned around looking at Tony questioningly. "What are you talking about?"
"Your outfit."
"What about it? I actually like it."
"Ok whatever. What do you think your mom is going to say? Or what about Nick?"
"Ok everyone we are ready to start." The director yelled at everyone on the set.
"We have to start shooting." Madison replied as she walked off with Shane and Jake following her.
"I think the outfit gives her the boost of confidence she needs." Shane whispered to Jake as they walked over to the director.
Jake started to laugh as he shook his head agreeing with Shane.
"So what was up with you today?" Tony asked Madison later that night.
Madison looked over at Tony cocking an eyebrow confused. "What do you mean?"
"At the video shoot."
"What about it?"
"You were a little bitchy."
"What?"
"Before we started shooting when I asked you about your outfit you were a little bitchy and then later in the day we were too."
"Ok, whatever. What do you want me to say?"
"Nothing. I was just wondering what was going on with you to act like that. Because I know that wasn’t you."
"I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Ok fine." Tony replied sighing as he laid down on the floor in front of the TV.
"Tony how did you know you were in love with Todd?" Madison asked curiously.
"What?" Tony asked turning around looking at her.
"How did you know you were in love with Todd? Not that hard of a question Tony."
"I don’t know really. Like I just knew, I guess." He replied shrugging.
"Wow, you’re helpful."
"Truthfully I’m not even sure I do love him. Because my feelings for him aren’t the same as they were for James."
"James, god it’s been a while since you said anything about him."
"Yeah, like I knew I loved him when I realized that I would die for him. And when I couldn’t stand being apart from him and every time I talked to him I couldn’t help but smile." Tony replied smiling.
Madison smiled at Tony as she pulled her legs closer to her chest.
"What?"
Madison smiled a little and said, "I think I’m in love with Nick."
Tony looked at Madison and couldn’t help the smile forming, he was happy for her. She deserved to be happy but he wasn’t exactly all that sure that Nick was the one she should be with. "You think?" He asked cocking an eyebrow playfully.
Madison nodded. "I love him." She replied smiling even bigger.
