Taste of Love - By Stephanie Nicole Page 0,48
it. The next morning he had a few radio shows to do, then a rehearsal at the venue, with the concert the following night. They would stay in Chicago after the concert and head to St. Louis the next morning for a show that night. The day after the show, she would be heading back to her life in New York.
Madison wondered how he could keep it all straight, playing in so many cities, each one having different schedules and events. It was giving her insight into his touring life, and explained why he was so tired. She also knew that he had cancelled a few appearances because she had come to visit him, so this wasn't even the true version of his usual schedule. The cancellations were something she had overheard Cameron and Riley fighting about on the phone, but she didn't let on that she knew.
After lunch, they walked around some more, shopping at some expensive boutiques that Madison never would have entered before. Any time she picked up something black, Cameron took it out of her hands and replaced it with something vibrant. She laughed at his antics and ended up with a rainbow of different colored clothes. This time she played it smart and made a point of buying one more piece of luggage to carry all the clothes she had purchased on the trip.
When they returned to the hotel, Cameron went to his room to prepare for the appearances he had committed to for the evening. When he asked Madison if she wanted to go, she politely declined so that she could relax for a while in their hotel room, and maybe even make use of the hot tub.
Once he left, Madison had plenty of time to herself to think on their conversation. Had she really given him her heart already? Did she really trust him? Her first thought was to call Austin, but she knew he had an extreme dislike for Cameron, and would be biased. The only one likely to be honest with her was Chase.
Chase's number rang through her cell phone, and just as she was about to hang up, he answered. He sounded out of breath. "Hey Mary! How's vacation?"
Madison laughed. "It's great! Exactly what I needed." She smiled dreamily. "What took you so long to answer?"
Chase giggled. "I was a bit pre-occupied, saying goodbye to a hottie at my door. And you will never guess who said hottie is!"
"You're right, and you know I hate these games, so just tell me who it was." She went to her room and put her bathing suit on as she talked, then grabbed her cover-up and her room key as she headed down to the hotel's hot tub and pool.
"It's someone you know quite well, and he is an absolutely fabulous kisser!" he gushed.
"Chase! Tell me for God's sake!" she yelled, the sound echoing in the elevator.
Chase laughed, playing his schtick to the hilt. "Remember how I told you that Thomas boy was a closet queen? Well, my gay-dar was right! I ran into him on the street yesterday, we went out for a drink, and well, he just left."
He sounded so pleased with himself. Madison's mouth dropped open. Thomas? Really?
"Wow...you called it!"
"I did indeed. The queen always knows," he reminded her.
"Good for you! Are you going to see him again?"
"We're supposed to meet up again tomorrow. It's hard because he hasn't come out yet and I'm not sure if I want to deal with that or not." He sighed a long, drawn-out sigh. "Are you upset with me? I know you were kind of dating him."
"Not at all! That's kind of what I called to talk to you about."
"Do tell?"
Madison looked through the glass door to where the indoor hot tub and pool were, happy that it was completely empty. She walked in and shed her cover-up, sinking into the extremely hot water with a moan of delight. "So, you know I'm touring with Cameron at the moment, right?"
"Uh, duh."
"Well, we got into this intense conversation today about how he wants to be with me, but that it won't happen until I trust him. Then he said that he already has my heart, I just need to realize it and let it happen. I don't know how to trust him when I know that he's on tour and all these hoochies want to get with him, even though when we're together, he's never given me a reason not to trust him. Actually,
