Heaven or Hell (Sequel to "Love or Lust")

Chapter 20:

"Madison." I whispered softly.

She grumbled softly in her sleep, sniffling a bit as she dug her head further into the pillow.

"Madison," I said again, nudging her lightly. She mumbled once more, adjusting herself again. I chuckled at how cute she lay in her sleep. I knelt down beside the bed, my face inches from hers. I leaned over above her ear, my breath brushing against her neck.

"Madison!" I shouted, causing her to jump and scream, falling to the floor. Her body landed with a soft thud! as she hit the hard floor, groaning angrily. Slowly she sat up, rubbing her head as she shot dagger glares at me. I chuckled lightly.

"What!" Madison snapped.

I leaned over her, kissing the top of her head gently before standing back up. I gave a warm toothy smile like a child as I yelled, "Happy birthday!"

Madison's pink lips that once formed an annoyed thin line now formed into a smile as she rolled her eyes lightly. She let out a small laugh, "Thank you."

I smiled wider, extending a hand out to help her. She accepted, wrapping her warm hand around mine. I swiftly pulled her up, causing her to topple into me before regaining stability. Her warm body pressed against mine. I rested my head atop of hers, rubbing her back as I gave a small squeeze.

"How old are you?" I asked, looking down at her. "Twelve? Thirteen?"

Madison punched my arm playfully, rolling her eyes kiddingly as she kissed my neck softly. "Eighteen, nit wit." She mumbled against my skin, raising her arms above to wrap around my neck. I chuckled lightly, "Yikes, I'm nineteen, turning twenty.. Think that's legal?"

Madison punched me once more, laughing against my skin. Her body vibrated with laughter, causing me to chuckle as well before placing a few kisses atop of her head. "Why aren't you out of high school, nit wit?"

I chuckled. "Uh, hello? Angel? Fallen? Ring any bells?" I said sarcastically, "I'm sorry that I don't get a designated age to fall, sweetheart."

Madison rolled her eyes. "Shut up."

I smiled, tangling my hands in her beautiful brown hair. "Come on," I said, tilting my head. "I'll make you some special breakfast." Madison beamed at me, nodding her head quickly. I laughed as I scooped her off of her feet, rushing her down the stairs within seconds. I stopped dead center of the kitchen, allowing her to breathe as I felt it become uneven.

"Thanks for the," She breathed out, catching her breath. "warning, Andy."

"My bad," I chuckled. I gently set her down on the countertop. "So, what's a birthday without," I slid my hands behind me, pulling out a shiny little tiara with the numbers 1 and 8 large in the center, the purple gems shining in the kitchen lighting. "a princess!"

I watched as a slight blush crept up on her delicate little face. I reached my arms up, hovering over her head as I slowly placed it on top. Stepping back, I admired all the beauty that sit before me. "My beautiful princess."

"Stop, I'm blushing!" She whined.

I chuckled, reaching behind her as I snatched a few pans from the cabinet. I set them on the stove, igniting the small flame to heat the pan as I snagged a box of pancake mix from the pantry. "Now, what's a birthday without a present, huh?"

Setting the mix down, I reached in my back right bocket, my fingers wrapping around the small wrapped box. Sliding it out, I handed it to her. Her eyes widened in surprise at the beautiful black and purple wrapped box, turning it around in her hands. "Open it."

She gave a small smile before tearing through the paper, letting it fall silently to the floor as she continued to open it. Inside of the wrapping paper, a small note was taped to the black box. Her eyes scanned over it, reading the small love letter I wrote, before ow pending the box. A gasp escaped her lips.

"Andy," Madison said softly, mesmerized by the content of the box. Slowly, she raised the small silver charm up to eye level, examining every detail of it. "It's... Beautiful."

"I made it for you." I said softly, wrapping my arms around her as I looked at it as well. The charm was two small figurines, one boy and one girl. The girl was small and delicate, kissing the tall boy. The boy, however, had two small wings emerging from his back, and it symbolized our love. "I've got a few friends who work in the jeweler industries. Now it can go on your braclet with the feather that I had given you awhile ago." I said softly, pointing to the small charm braclet on her wrist.

Madison smiled, a tear running down her cheek. "Thank you, Andy."

"You're welcome, angel." I whispered, kissing her on the lips. She kissed back, sending electricity throughout my body. I smiled against her lips, pulling away. "I know you have plans for your birthday with your friends, but after that?" I smirked. "You're all mine."

"So, Andy," Savanah said, looking up as she bit took another bite of her teriyaki chicken. "Why aren't you on tour with your band right now?"

I swallowed my piece of salmon. "Well we will be going on tour very soon, but right now we're on break from our previous tour." I answered.

"Yeah, our next tour is the Black Mass I believe? Right guys?" Ashley chimed in, looking at me and the rest of the band scattered around the large hibachi grill. Both Jake and Jinxx nodded, while CC continued to play with his food. I heard Madison chuckle to herself.

"That's fun!" Alyssa said excitedly. Both Savanah and Melissa nodded in agreement as they continued to dig into their teriyaki chicken. Madison nodded as well as she ate her sushi.

"Am I coming along?" I heard Ariana whisper to Ashley who sat next to me.

"Of course!" I cut in, taking the words right out of Ashley's mouth. Ashley growled under his breath, giving me a dirty look before smiling at Ariana. Madison laughed softly as my hand travelled up her thigh, rubbing my thumb along her jean shorts.

"So how does it feel to be eighteen!" Savanah asked excitedly, setting her fork and knife down on the plate. Madison giggled a bit as she wiped her mouth with the white napkin. "It feels pretty great, I guess." Madison said, a smile creeping up on her beautiful face.

"And how old are you?" Alyssa asked, focusing her attention on me. I swallowed hard. "Uh, nineteen."

"Oh, so you turned nineteen this year?"

I silently shook my head. "No, my birthday is Decemeber 26th, so I'll be turning twenty this year."

All of Madison's friends furrowed their eyebrows in confusion. "Then how the hell are you still in high school?"

"I can't choose when I-" I began but Madison elbowed me in the ribs, chiming in to save my ass. "He, uh, was held back in third grade and fifth grade for school fights." I quickly nodded, joining in with Madison as we both gave hesitant smiles. Her friends all looked around at eachother before shrugging it off, going on to the next subject. "What did Andy get you?"

I watched a blush appear on her delicate face as she raised her wrist up, revealing the charm bracelet. "He custom made this charm for my bracelet," She said, pointing to the new charm she had just received today. I smiled as well, looking at it.

"It's beautiful!" Melissa said, brushing her fingers along the small charm. Madison gave a small smile in response as she pulled her arm back, playing with it in her hand as she continued to look down at it. I placed a small kiss on the side of her head, lacing our fingers together under the table. She gave another smile, kissing my cheek.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you more."

I smiled warmly at her.

"So what's your big plan for your birthday?" Savanah asked, "I mean, it's the big one eight. You gotta do something!"

Madison smiled. "I, uh, I don't know."

I smirked. "I have an idea in mind."
