Taste of Love - By Stephanie Nicole Page 0,40

I will try to be at the airport in Indy to meet you, but if my manager thinks it isn't safe, I will send him to get you." Cameron was happy, but nervous at the same time.

"Ok, see you tomorrow then."

There was a long moment of silence. Then Cameron whispered, "I can't wait to see you."

"I can't wait to see you either," she admitted. "Until tomorrow..."

She hung up the phone, her stomach already a bundle of nerves. What did this mean for them? What was expected of her? Would she be able to handle his 'other life'? What if things were even worse than they appeared at the backstage party?

But...what if things weren't? What if they could really enjoy their time together?

She knew she wouldn't be sleeping that night, because there was no way her mind would stop asking these questions.

The plane touched down in Indianapolis and Madison listened as the pilot urged them to enjoy their stay. She was impressed. Cameron had flown her out First Class, but then again, she didn't expect less of him. It was just typical Cameron, always thoughtful, or at least typical of the Cameron she knew.

Madison wheeled her carry-on through the gates of the terminal, searching for anyone familiar, or someone holding a sign with her name on it. She walked through the crowd, and suddenly felt a hand on her arm as she moved between two people. Looking up, she saw a complete stranger with shoulder-length blond hair, a backwards trucker hat, and aviator sunglasses. Just as she was about to tell the man to get his grubby hands off her, he leaned in and whispered in her ear.

"Glad you didn't miss the flight, gorgeous."

"Oh my goodness," she blurted, staring at him.

He kissed her cheek and led her downstairs, to the baggage claim area.

He turned back to her on the escalator and put his finger up to his lips, effectively keeping her quiet, to ensure nothing would draw attention to them. They completed the ride in silence, but Madison couldn't help but stare at him. Once they had her other suitcase, they exited the airport to a waiting car.

Safely inside the vehicle with dark tinted windows, he pulled off the sunglasses, hat and wig. He fluffed up his spiked hair, and looked over at Madison.

"You can talk now." He laughed at the awe in her eyes, and the smile on her face.

"I missed you so much, Cameron," she blurted out before her brain could stop her.

"Not as much as I missed you, Madison." He leaned over and hugged her tight, noticing the clear difference in her body. His mother was right, she had lost a lot of weight. Too much, in fact. He slowly backed away from her, and for the first time, he saw how tired she looked.

At that moment, he vowed to make this the best vacation she ever had.

Chapter Twelve

"So what are the plans for today?" Madison asked as they carried her luggage into the hotel and up to the room. Madison looked around as they walked, impressed with the lobby and all of the furnishings in the hotel. It was obviously a five star hotel, the type she wasn't used to staying in. Before her restaurant had become a success, she lived a middle class lifestyle. And now that the money was rolling in from The TigerLily, she hadn't really had time to indulge in any luxuries.

"Well, first we are going to get you settled in your room, and then you have an appointment in the spa while I go do my sound check. When I get back, we have dinner reservations, then I hoped we could walk around Monument Circle for a while and be all touristy," he told her when they stepped into the elevator.

"The spa?" Madison asked.

"Yup, I signed you up for the full package, facial, massage, some sort of mud bath thing - the works," he answered, watching the numbers slide by as they rode to the top floor. He pulled a keycard from his back pocket and slid it into the lock, opening the door with a quick flick of his wrist.

Standing in the hallway, Madison looked around and saw that the only door was the one to the room Cameron was opening. She followed him into the room, and saw a giant sitting room with doors that led to separate bedrooms and bathrooms. "Cameron, this is huge!"

He laughed. "Well, I am so tired of sleeping in cramped spaces on the tour bus,
