Backstage ➳ Madnessa

Vanessas POV

I was in the spare room helping Madelaine pack for Vancouver tomorrow. Well really I was just being a nuisance, every time she put something in her suitcases I took it back out. She found it funny at first but then I could tell it was starting to annoy her.

"You know what? Why don't you pack for me then since you don't like anything I've put in my suitcases so far?" Mads says, standing up with her hands on her hips, letting out a huff. I stayed silent until she walked out.

"Madelaine..." I called. No answer. I huffed and got up to follow her. I followed the long hallway down to where Madelaine was sitting on a couch. She was on her phone and she looked very stressed.

I walked over behind the couch and wrapped my arms over her shoulders, placing one soft kiss to her temple.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I should've been helping you pack instead of annoying you I'm sorry" I say kissing her hand when she brings it up to rub my arm.

"It's okay, I'm just stressed, I mean I leave tomorrow and what have I gotten done?" She asks, resting her hand on my arm lightly.

I walk around the couch so I can sit next to Madelaine. When I sit down, she turns and lays back so my chest is pushed against her back. I wrap my arms around her waist and she places hers over mine and starts to stroke my knuckles.

"I know, it's hard, but just think of the amazing experiences you'll have once you get past all of this" I say close to her ear. She giggles a bit and I see goose bumps appear on her skin, I smile and lean back down so I'm a little close to her ear.

"Did that tickle?" I ask holding back a laugh. She giggles, nodding her head and rubbing my arm again.

I smile at her. I lift up my arms with hers still on top and I lift her shirt a bit so I can see her skin. I place my arms back down on her skin, stroking the sides of her stomach.

We sit in a comfortable silence for a while until I speak up.

"Okay, come on, lets get you packed up" I say, trying to sit up. She plays dead and all her body weight pushes me back down. I chuckle a bit.

"Mads..." I whine. She doesn't move. I huff and fall back.

"Well I guess you're just going to have to tell them that you can't be in the show because you refuse to leave your couch" I say lifting our hands in the air.

"I guess so" She shrugs. I laugh and whine at her.

"Why won't you get up?" I ask her, bringing our hands down.

"I'm comfortable.. and warm" She says bringing her hand down and stroking my thighs.

"I'm comfortable and warm too.. how about, we go and get you packed up and then we can come back and get comfortable and warm again?" I ask trying to convince her.

She sits there thinking for a minute before nodding and sitting up. I sigh relieved, I get up with her and trudge off to the room.

"I want you to pack this!" I say holding up a black lace bralette and placing it into her suitcase.

"You're not even going to be there to see me in it!" She laughs. I laugh along and continue packing her things with her.

"Hey, you keep packing, I'll be back in about ten minutes, I have to make a call" I say to Madelaine as I get up and walk out the door.

"Okay, don't be too long" She calls.

While Mads thought I was making a call I was actually going to pack a suitcase and book a flight to Vancouver.

I rushed to my room and started throwing whatever the fuck I could find into my suitcase. After shoving millions of pairs of pants and shoes and shirts into my suitcase I walked outside with it and chucked it in the trunk of my car.

I quickly ran back inside to Madelaine and continued helping her pack.

"Hey! You're back" Madelaine says excitedly, throwing a shirt into her suitcase.

"Are you almost done?" I ask, sitting on the floor with her. She nods her head, she looks exhausted and tired.

"Hey?" I ask.

"Hmm?" She hums for me to continue.

"Have you eaten today?" I ask, getting up on my knees.

"No.." She shifts uncomfortably where she's sitting. "I'm not hungry" she says quietly.

"Mads, you need to eat" I say. I grab her hand and tug her gently up off the ground.

I take her into the kitchen and she jumps up onto the counter swinging her legs off the edge. I make her a salad and we take it to couch.

"Aren't we going to finish packing?" She asks pointing back to the spare room.

"You don't leave until late tomorrow so it doesn't matter, we can finish tomorrow" I say sitting on the couch.

She shrugs and walks over to the couch where I'm sitting, she gets herself into the same position she was in earlier.

She leans back against my chest again and she relaxes into me. I hand her the salad and hold onto her waist again.

"You want to watch a movie?" I ask, softly tapping my fingers repeatedly over her stomach.

She nods and continues to eat her salad.

I turn on Netflix and turn on some movie I've never even heard of before.

—

Madelaine seems to be enjoying it, I don't know what it's about because I haven't been watching the movie, I've been watching Madelaine.

She looks back and sees me staring at her. I blush and quickly look away although she's already seen it.

She giggles and turns back around. When she turns around all of her hair gets spread out on my stomach, I smile and lean down to her.

"Hey, do you have a hair tie?" I ask, moving some hair from over her ear.

"Yeah, here" She says handing me a hair tie from her wrist. I take and put it on to my wrist.

I push her back upwards so that she's sitting up a little and I can collect some of her hair that is behind her back.

I grab her hair loosely and let her lay back down. I grab her hair and hold it in a ponytail, she hums which encourages me to carry on.

I put her hair up into a ponytail using the hair tie but she pulls it back out. I put it all back into a ponytail and she pulls it back out again.

I chuckle and put it back up again, she pulled it out again. I went to put it back up again but she stopped me.

"Hey!" I whine, "I was having fun playing that game"

"Play with it, don't put it up just play with it" She says, "please"

She's too cute for this world.

I giggle and start to play with her hair, just as she asked and eventually she fell asleep. She was so peaceful and beautiful.

Eventually after staring at her for a long time I fell asleep to sound of her breathing and her hand in mine.
