Baddest

Chapter 32

Didn't realize I never added the last couple chapters from archive of our own so I'll just post those real quick. Warning, sex scenes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Colson POV

What the fuck is that annoying sound? I've
got myself tangled up with Madison, shes
clinging onto me for dear life while she
dreams. I realize that sound is my phone
ringing. I blindly reach around to feel for my
phone on the nearby nightstand. I wanna toss
this fucking thing but I don't feel like
replacing another phone.

"Hello?" I mumble a greeting.

"Kells, vanity fair." My manager, Ashleigh, blurts before I even finish my half assed greeting.

Is that supposed to mean something? Do I pretend to be excited? Fuck it, never been good at faking shit.

"Okay..." I say and wait for her to continue.

She groans. "Colson, you're so lucky you have me. Vanity fair wants an interview, this is great news! They want you to bring Madison, fans love her."

I rub my eyes, I can't commit sugar spice to something like that without talking to her. I need more sleep. "Cool, ash. That's great. Talk about it later."

She laughs. "You know it's almost noon? Wake up! Talk later."

We hang up and I shut my phone off. It may
be close to noon but I was up making my girl scream till the early hours of the morning and I'm not quite recovered yet.

"I love you...even though you spanked me. Meanie." Madison's voice is soft and quiet, she's still sleeping.

Sleeping Madison is really fucking cute.

flashback

The first night she made an appearance, sugar
spice and I had been talking for just a short
time but the feelings were already there.
Madison started to doze off, while I was wide
awake and as usual couldn't sleep. Her
responses were spaced out further and
further until sleep finally won. Her steady,
peaceful breathing was calming. I found
myself feeling so relaxed by it.

"I'm scared." She suddenly speaks.

I'm on full alert. What the fuck scared her,
what's happening? "What's wrong?"

Her breathing continues to stay peaceful, and
I come to the realization that she's talking in
her sleep.

"Sugar spice? You okay?" I try again.

She sighs sleepily. "I'm scared."

"Why?" I press.

A moment passes and she speaks again.

"Scared because I'm starting to fall."

My heart almost fucking explodes, because I
know exactly what she means. I feel it too, it's
fucking scary and intense. I try to keep my
brain in check but it's undeniable that there's
something there, and if we keep this going
whatever guard we have up is going to drop.
eventually. For years I've stated I don't do
love, I don't commit to that shit because it's
burned me one too many times. With this girl
I can deny it all I want but I know I'm going
to get attached, I'm going to start caring, and
things will get real.

＂Me too, baby." I whisper as I really think
about how deep this could get. This would
bring up my past, I know she'd be curious to
know me. Really know me. Not just the
Machine Gun Kelly that the public sees. Let's
be honest, most of it isn't great.

"Promise you won't tell." She sighs.

I smirk, this girl. Why does she have to be so adorable? More importantly, why did it have to get to me like it did? "I promise sleeping Madison, your secrets safe."
