them. "I'll see you at the concert tomorrow night."

Madison stood still and watched him disappear through a door on the other side of the room. She was torn; follow after Cameron, or return to Thomas? In the end, instinct took over and she went to Thomas.

"There you are! I've been looking all over for you. Bunny said you went to the bathroom and was worried that you'd gotten lost," Thomas said, reaching out for her.

"I did. I thought she said second door on the right, but she must have said fourth door." She continued down the hall towards the fourth door. "Excuse me," she said, slipping inside.

Thomas waited outside the bathroom for her to finish, then escorted her back to the party. And for the rest of the night, he didn't leave her side or let her anywhere near Cameron. But although Thomas may have kept her from him physically, after that kiss, Madison's mind was on Cameron the rest of the night.

Madison called Chase as soon as she woke up the next morning. "Hey bitch, you have plans for tonight?"

"No, but I'm not helping you clean your bathrooms. That's what tonight is, isn't it? I know it's not laundry night or kitchen night," he said, somewhat distracted.

"Well, you're right, it is bathroom night," she admitted. "But actually I'm calling to ask you to go to a concert with me. But if that's how you're going to be..."

"Concert? What concert? Is it that stud you're constantly drooling over now? And how much will it cost me?" he asked, now fully interested.

"It's Cameron's concert, and I haven't been drooling over him. We're friends now, that's it. He gave me two free tickets, and who better to take than my best friend?"

"What about Tommy Boy? You two have been rather cozy lately," he pointed out. He still fully believed Thomas was a 'closet queen'.

"Um, no, I'd rather have you there with me. Are you going to say yes, or are you going to make me beg?" she asked, starting to lose her patience.

"As much as I love hearing you beg, I love seeing hot, sweaty guys up on stage even more. So, I'll go," he told her. She could hear the big smile on the other end of the line.

"Great. I'll pick you up at seven o'clock then. Be ready and waiting," she warned, before hanging up.

She looked at her watch. Maybe she could squeeze in a quick bathroom cleaning before getting ready for work, but then she'd have to leave early as well, to prepare for the concert.

She sighed. Another crazy day.

Madison and Chase made their way into the huge auditorium, which was already packed with thousands of screaming fans. As they made their way to the very front row, she noticed a lot of attractive women giving them dirty looks, envious of their better seats.

She just smiled. If only they knew.

Chase scanned the crowd, looking to see if anyone piqued his interest. His eyes locked on a man, and immediately he tapped Madison's shoulder.

"What's up?" she asked.

"I'm going to go talk to him. He's going to be my new boyfriend," Chase told her, pointing to a man, who in Madison's eyes looked very straight.

"Chase, what makes you think he's even gay?" she asked, not wanting her friend to make an ass of himself, or get pummeled if the guy wasn't gay.

"Look at his hat. It has a rainbow on it. Hello!" He gave a wink, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Madison looked more closely at the guy's hat and nearly died laughing. "Chase, have you ever heard of Pink Floyd?"

"They're a band, right?" he asked, and when Madison only nodded her head, he continued, not enjoying any of her laughter.

"What the hell do they have to do with this?"

"Oh, honey." Madison tried to get herself under control. "That may be a rainbow, but it's not a 'gay rainbow'. That was a symbol on the cover of one of their albums. It means the guy likes Pink Floyd, not that he's gay."

Chase narrowed his eyes, not really understanding, then his brows shot up in surprise when he finally comprehended. "No shit! Really?"

"Really."

Chase looked at the man with longing. "I'm glad you notice details like that."

Madison nodded and laughed again, just as the lights dimmed and the opening group bounded onto the stage to play. They were pretty good, no one she had ever heard of before, but they had promise. She was starting to get antsy
