“Okay…” said Madison as she was on the speaker phone with Chris, her manager, later that afternoon while Nick sat over looking at some photo albums of Madison’s, “Yeah so… I leave to come to Nashville when they leave to go on the 100 hour tour?”

“Yeah…. and you have to cut this song, and then you’ll be at MTV when the guys come back there after the 100 hour tour.” said Chris as Nick looked up at her.

“Okay… Nick and I are going to attend the Billboard Music Awards together…” said Madison.

“And Aaron..” said Nick.

“Yeah with Aaron.” said Madison, “So like make that known that we’ll be together.”

“Okay…. so you go and finish that song there… and then be back in New York when they come. Then after the Billboard Awards go back to Nashville and finish cutting the album and you’ll be finished until you make the video for the first single.” said Chris.

“Okay.” said Madison, “I can do that.”

“Alright, you two have fun.” said Chris.

“We will.. bye.” said Madison as she hung up the speaker phone.

“Good going.. yeah let everybody know we’ll be together and then show up seperately.” said Nick as Madison nodded her head.

“Exactly.” said Madison, “See it’s going good so far.”

“Yeah so far….” said Nick as he started to laugh and Madison walked over and sat down on the sofa beside him as he put the photo album away, “So what’s gonna go on tonight?”

“I dunno just relax.. I’m never here….” said Madison, “This is only my fourth night in my apartment.” as Nick started to laugh.

“Seriously.. damn.” said Nick, “I know how that is.”

“I just wanna chill…” said Madison as she smiled and Nick smiled.

“Alright.. I’m gonna run over to the hotel a minute. Go and check up on things.” said Nick.

“Okay.. I’ll be here.” said Madison.

“Alright..” said Nick as he got up and grabbed his jacket and walked over to the door and looked back, “Bye baby.” as Madison started to laugh.

“You can drop it.. nobody else is here.” said Madison as Nick started to laugh.

“I know.. I’ll be back soon.” said Nick as he walked out and Madison sat there and laughed as she reached for the chordless phone and dialed Grace’s cell phone number.

“Hello?” asked Grace.

“Hey… where are you?” asked Madison.

“Marietta…. I got here about a hour ago. I got the rest of your stuff.. I’ll bring it tomorrow.” said Grace.

“Alright… so is Daddy really mad?” asked Madison as she looked down at her ring, looking at it from different angles.

“Ummm he’s kept quiet about it. Caley is freakin’.” said Grace as Madison started to laugh.

“Yeah… I should get Nick to call her or something.” said Madison, “Was it her or umm Brian that’s her favorite?”

“Brian, wait it might be Nick…” said Grace, “So.. where’s Nick at?”

“He went over to the hotel to see about tomorrow and stuff.” said Madison.

“He’s staying at the apartment?” asked Grace in shock.

“Umm yeah…” said Madison, “He’s my husband…”

“Shit.. you two are taking this thing seriously.” said Grace.

“Well.. it wouldn’t look right when everybody knows I have a place here for him to stay in a hotel.” said Madison.

“That’s true, so are you getting to know each other?” asked Grace.

“Yeah…. we’re coming there for Thanksgiving and then we’re going to go to the Keys and I’m gonna meet his family.. then we’re gonna head back to Las Vegas for the Billboard Music Awards and Aaron is going to go with us because him and Nick are going to present a award together.” said Madison.

“Aaron, his little bro?” asked Grace.

“Yeah..” said Madison, “So..” as Grace interrupted her.

“Damn… you’re not gonna get a divorce are you?” asked Grace.

“Yeah… we’re gonna let it be known that we’re all arriving together at the awards together, then we’re gonna show up seperately and cause talk. Then a few days later, make it official and get a divorce.” said Madison.

“The day I see it is the day I believe it.” said Grace as Madison looked confused.

“Kevin dude I told ya I didn’t have no damn prostitute in here!” yelled AJ as he opened the door to see Nick standing outside, “Nicky.. sup dawg?”

“Umm hey.” said Nick, “Can I come in?”

“Sure thang.. where’s the wife?” asked AJ as he started to laugh.

“Her apartment… well our apartment I guess.” said Nick while AJ laughed and held his stomach laughing so hard, “What’s so funny?”

“You married… it’s hillarious.” said AJ, “So man.. tell me about last night.”

“We went to sleep.” said Nick.

“Yeah afterwards… so come on tell me.” said AJ.

“Man nothing happened. We went to sleep.” said Nick as AJ looked at him, “Dude seriously.”

“So what about that kiss that you had yesterday?” asked AJ.

“It didn’t mean anything… we did it infront of the press.. that’s all.” said Nick as he leaned up against the dresser as AJ looked at him, “Dude… I would tell you.”

“Uh huh.. you all married now you might keep it to yourself.” said AJ as Nick rolled his eyes, “So you like her?”

“Yeah… she’s pretty cool… we’ve got stuff in comman.” said Nick.

“Like what?” asked AJ.

“We both come from big families… she’s a singer… we married each other… and she’s got Eminem and Xzibit’s cd’s.” said Nick.

“Oh yeah.. damn gotta find me a girl that got the same CD’s as me and marry them, dude that could be any damn body.” said AJ as Nick started to laugh.

“Hey… I married her before I knew her. Give me some credit.. I’m learning.” said Nick.

“What’s her full name?” asked AJ.

“Madison LeAnn Walker.. easy to remember the LeAnn is cuz of Rok’s Leigh…” said Nick.

“When’s her birthday?” asked AJ.

“Valentine’s day she’ll be 21.” said Nick.

“Umm close in age, awww so sweet.” said AJ as he started to laugh, “Oh dude I swear to god.. I always figured it would happen to one of us. As many times we go to Las Vegas and get drunk but I swear to god I never in a million years thought it would happen to you. I thought it would happen to me of all people, but you.. never would have thought.” said AJ laughing as Nick rolled his eyes.

“Yeah well… I gotta start listening to Rok… he told me.. Nick don’t drink, you’re underage.” said Nick.

“Do you ever listen to him?” asked AJ.

“Hell no…” said Nick, “I guess it taught me a lesson this time didn’t it.”

“One hell of a lesson.. taught her one too.” said AJ laughing.

Madison layed there on the sofa watching “Dirty Dancing” when Nick walked through the door and she looked up to see him.

“You back?” asked Madison.

“No.. I just came here.” said Nick as he looked confused, “Yeah… what are you watching?”

“Dirty Dancing.” said Madison as Nick moved her legs and sat on the sofa and placed her legs in his lap as she looked up at him.

“Damn I missed the part where they are practising in the water didn’t I?” asked Nick as Madison started to laugh.

“Yeah…” said Madison, “What did they say?”

“Oh… I gotta meet them at the studio at 10 in the morning, at MTV… you gonna go?” asked Nick, “Good publicity.”

“Sure..” said Madison, “What after that?”

“Doing Rosie, then some little CNN interview and some MuchMusic stuff.. we’re doing that over the new three days.” said Nick.

“That’s cool..” said Madison as Nick rested his hands on her legs and she looked down and looked back at the TV.

“You’re legs are soft…” said Nick.

“Thanks for telling me… I think that’s a first..” said Madison as she continued to watch the movie as Nick followed her legs until he looked up at her and she looked over at him.

“Are we still gonna stay friends after this marriage thing here, after we get a divorce?” asked Nick.

“Sure… I mean I consider you my friend now.” said Madison, “We’ve been through a lot the past 48 hours.”

“Yeah…. that’s cool.” said Nick.

“Yeah…” said Madison as she turned back and watched the movie as Nick ran his finger up her leg and then moved it past her knee, reaching her skirt as Madison grabbed his hand and looked at him.

“What do you think you’re doing?” asked Madison as she started to laugh as Nick looked around.

“Learning my new wife.” said Nick as he started to laugh and Madison gave him a weird look.

“That wasn’t part of the deal.” said Madison as Nick continued to laugh.

“I’m joking.. lighten up.” said Nick as Madison turned back and watched the movie as Nick smiled. Madison looked back at him to see him looking at the TV and smiled back at him as she looked back at the TV.

“When is Grace coming?” asked Nick.

“Tomorrow afternoon…” said Madison as she looked back at him, “She’s bringing Caley.”

“You’re little sister, that’s cool, how old is she?” asked Nick.

“She’s 12.” said Madison, “She’s not little, but little to me.”

“Cool that’s Aaron and Angel’s age.. they’ll be 13 soon.” said Nick.

“Caley will be 13 the day after my birthday.” said Madison.

“Really?” asked Nick.

“Yeah.. I made my mom keep her in until after midnite. I wanted my own birthday.” said Madison as Nick started to laugh.

“Well that’s cool baby.” said Nick as he smacked his hand against her thigh as she looked back at him.

“You are so trying.” said Madison as she looked back at the TV.

“Hey.. I didn’t say nothing, I’m only joking.” said Nick as Madison looked back.

“I know..” said Madison as she looked back at the TV and Nick started to smile.
