Taste of Love - By Stephanie Nicole Page 0,51

all of them. It's up to you."

"I can't think of anything I would rather do than spend the whole day with you." She winked at him as she got out of bed and went to her room to get ready. Cameron shook his head in appreciation and bit his lip as she walked out.

The radio interviews were interesting to say the least. Some of them were really lame, the hosts trying to make dumb jokes, amateurs that didn't know how to do their jobs. A few were actually funny, and didn't miss a beat when they saw Madison show up with Cameron. They asked point-blank if he had finally changed his playboy ways and finally settled down. As diplomatically as possible, he told them that only time would tell.

The last radio station reminded Madison of a Howard Stern show. The host was vulgar, pushing the limits of what he could say, but Cameron took it all in stride. It was a battle of wits, and Madison was glad to see that Cameron held his own against the guy without losing his temper. It was an interesting thing to watch and reminded her of the first good fight they had - but this time, the memory of it made her smile. Who would have dreamed they would come so far since then?

After a quick meal, they all drove to the venue for the sound check and rehearsal. Cameron went through his whole show, changing it up a bit from his Indy show, in the hopes of satisfying the fans that attended more than one show. Madison stood off to the side to watch him, as impressed with him as she had been the first time she saw his show. If he didn't like how the song sounded, he did it again and again until it was right. Usually it was the band that messed up, but he always took responsibility for it. It took longer than Madison thought that it would, but she understood Cameron's need for perfection.

After sound check and rehearsal, it was getting late, so they went back to the hotel and got some sleep; they had a long day ahead of them the next day, the day of the concert.

Cameron lay low the day of the concert, trying to rest and get plenty of fluids so he didn't get too dehydrated during the show.

Madison gave him some time alone as she went out on the town and did some tourist-y things. Her favorite place was the Shedd Aquarium. She spent a couple of hours in there, just wandering among the tanks. It gave her such a peaceful feeling and was a perfect bookend to the excitement of the concert preparation.

By the time she returned to the hotel, it was time to get ready. Not sure about what Cameron would want her to wear, she decided on the retro Rolling Stones tee, along with a short denim skirt and a studded black belt that slung low around her hips. To complete the outfit, she slipped on some black studded biker boots. She left her hair down, and instead of leaving it naturally wavy, she took forty-five minutes to straighten it. Her make-up was a little heavier than normal again, but she didn't fell like portraying the sweet and innocent girl if word had leaked that she and Cameron were together. She didn't want to ruin his image.

When she finished getting ready, she found a note on the table for her to call Riley when she was ready, since Cameron had to be at the venue early. Riley would have her ticket and backstage pass. She dialed the number he left for her, and fifteen minutes later, she was in a car with Riley on the way to Cameron's show.

Riley didn't say much to her, and she figured he didn't like her too much. But it didn't matter. She was Cameron's girl.

After the show, it was the same scene as every other time: crowds of people, mostly women, all waiting for Cameron to make his appearance. Madison used her head, and stood near the door so that she was one of the first people he'd see when he came in. And true to form, she was, and he didn't hesitate to sweep her into his arms and kiss her silly.

She could hear a lot of the girls groan behind her, and some of them even left. The ones that stayed gave new credence to the phrase "If looks could kill."
