Baddest

Chapter 34

Colson pov

"Oh wait, I'm the asshole?" Pete laughs. "Me? I haven't been hiding my girlfriend from my best friend..."

Ariana leans against the door frame with a playful smirk. "I don't know, babe. I think colson is right on the money with this one."

Pete makes a face of pretend hurt. "Ouch. I'm wounded, babe. Truly."

Madison has relaxed, her nerves settling down. "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure Colson has his moments too, Pete."

"Hey now." I reach for her and pull her against me. "You want to call me an asshole again, sugar spice?"

Her smile is mischievous and beautiful, a playful sparkle to her eyes. She wants to challenge me and find out what happens, but she won't in front of Pete and Ariana. "Maybe later."

"Alright, enough foreplay in front of friends." Pete teases and offers my girl his hand. "For real, I'm Pete. It's nice to meet the girl who has Colson so fucking whipped."

"Whipped? Man, I'm not fucking wh-..."I begin to protest.

"It's nice to meet you." Madison shakes his hand. "It wasn't an easy task, but I think I've done a decent job." She smiles at me.

That beautiful smile. Ugh, who am I kidding?
I am whipped as fuck, no point trying to deny it. She is delusional if she thinks it was not the easiest thing she has ever done to make me fall for her. I was hooked from the first night.

"I like her." Ariana smiles.

Pete smirks. "I like her too. She's got you by the balls man, I can tell."

"Listen, Pete. Don't start talking about what she does with my b-..." I begin.

"Wow! I am starving! Let's go get food. Right now. food!" Madison quickly interrupts me and tugs my hand to lead me towards the door. "Now."

Ariana, Pete, and I all have a good laugh at her obvious embarrassment and the tactics she is using to get out of the situation.

"The queen demands nourishment. Let's go out!" Pete wraps his arm around Ariana's waist and follows us out the door.

"Dude, don't you need to be on set?" I ask as I shut our hotel room door.

He shrugs. "Lunch break, I'll get back there eventually."

I can't even give him shit for that because I would probably be the same way. It's not like I have always been on time or made the responsible decision when needed. so,I just go with it, it is his movie after all.
we ended up at a small pub, mostly because Pete wanted a drink and I was down for that. the atmosphere was chill, the staff was friendly enough. I would call that a win when it comes to dining out lately.

"So, Madison, how are you handling all this?" Ariana asks before nibbling on a fry. "Like, being thrown into the spotlight. I imagine it's been an adjustment, right?"

Sugar Spice nods and looks at me briefly before answering. "It can be so crazy at times. I have had paparazzi come into my work, been photographed when I thought we were alone, it's shown me to appreciate my privacy. It's worth it though, I wouldn't trade being with Colson for anything."

Damn, why do I just want to take her right here and now after that sentence? I show my love with sex, that's healthy...right?

"Aw, that's so cute!" Ariana gushes.

"What I want to know is, how she puts up with your goofy ass " Pete laughs. which we all join in on.

"I don't know how I haven't fucked this one up yet, I wonder the same thing man." I answer honestly.
