Temptation

63 - Madden

The eight days we spent apart created a sexual draught for both Hero and me. The entire day, we could not keep our hands off each other; fucking in every room possible. The kitchen where we've done it a few times before; he fucked me on the table. In the basement, he fucked me on the air hockey table. In the laundry room, we started the dryer to add vibration for extra pleasure. We even went into the garage, unlocking one of his many cars, and fucked in the back seat. When we finished each other in the living room, we made our way up to our room. The entire night, we kept each other up; if it was me sucking on Hero, or if it was Hero licking me and in between we would lay naked with each other, regaining our energy to go again. I missed him so fucking much.

The next couple of days we spend in bed whether we were sleeping or if it was because we couldn't stop shagging. It was good; we were hidden in our own world in London and no one seemed to be bothering us. We ignored all media, turning off our phones and never turning the TV on to entertain us; it was just the two of us and we are happy.

I went out to get the mail because if Hero goes out, he will be spotted by someone and we want to remain M.I.A. When I open the mailbox, there is a Vogue magazine which I flip over to its front and right there is a picture of Hero and me. This is the edition we did a while back, but it hadn't been released until now. Good timing. The photo they chose for the cover is when I am sitting on Hero's lap, both of us naked but only my back is visible. I'm kissing Hero's cheek while he faces the front of the camera, making his brooding model face. I remember making fun of him for never having a smile in any of his old photoshoots, yet from the Vogue experience, I learned that that is what they want out of him.

I race through the doors and into the kitchen where Hero has my coffee waiting next to him at the table. I throw the magazine to him, "Bloody hell, we look cheeky!" He means sexy. He flips through the pages, where there are plenty more images of us and lands on the page where our interview is printed. Hero reads it himself first to ensure that they didn't put anything nasty in there. Once he deems it appropriate, he reads it out loud to me.

Hero Tomlin, known in our world since he was a young boy. Throughout his years in the spotlight, Hero had become known as the bad boy. He found himself partying every single night; there was never a night when he wasn't sober. "I was always drinking or getting high, or both. I wish I could say I remember those days, but they were washed away with bad decisions." (Hero Tomlin) Night after night his manager found him completely passed out and sometimes without a pulse. Two years ago, Hero was pushed by his manager to get sober, but he knew that his problem was not the alcohol, it was his addiction to drugs. "My mum was addicted to every drug out there and it was only time for me to realize the curse I was bound to get," with his realization, Hero Tomlin checked himself into a rehab centre and remained there for three months until he was fully sober. After his rehab, he distracted himself with the project of the second Ever After film.

During his time on set in Vancouver, Canada, Hero found himself looming in boredom. He spent his long days on set and when he had the odd day off, Tomlin was left completely alone in his rented apartment. While he was there, he was to stay in the apartment whenever he wasn't on set, in order to keep his location on the down low. With all these restrictions against him, he grew frustrated and needed to spend a day on his own, where he could do normal things. He made the decision to make a quick run to the local Costco; "I literally ran into the most mesmerizing woman," and from that moment, he knew he couldn't stay away.

Madden Fitz, a young woman who appeared to be normal had a past that put a small dent in her relationship with Hero Tomlin. "I couldn't be captured by cameras so going out in public was a pain," but that changed when her stalker had been put in jail for the rest of his life. Fitz states, "Hero saved my life. I couldn't be more thankful for this man."

I asked both Tomlin and Fitz what they're expectations are out of this relationship, since they are both from different worlds. All of us want to know how a couple from completely different environments makes it; each shared a positive and romantic outlook. "I only want happiness for Madden, and she brings me the joy I need in my life. Forever will not be long enough," Tomlin exclaimed to me. His words melted my heart. Madden shared her feelings for Hero while also trying to indulge us in a new image of her boyfriend; "For me, I have my hero—ironically. People have painted this image of him as being a bad guy and he never was bad. Hero made his mistakes—" at this time Hero intervened to say that she was not one of his mistakes. "But his mistakes do not define him. Forever with Hero sounds perfect."

The two have mad chemistry. If you ever thought and are still hooked on the romance in the Ever film, you have yet to see these two in action. Hero Tomlin is a whole new man with this woman, and he does not deny that his happiness comes from such an ordinary woman. Madden Fitz has a past that will affect her for a lifetime, but she states that Hero is the one and only person that has let her have a sense of freedom.

On a more serious note, Madden Fitz took the time to talk with me about mental health. During her time in a protection program, she found herself suffering from grief that led to a depression. "I lost my family and was removed from my home where I knew everyone and brought to entirely new place. I was completely alone," and from this loneliness she suffered from depression, anxiety and an eating disorder. Fitz states that it wasn't that she didn't want to eat but she physically couldn't get any food in her system and that she was occupying her time with working out, causing her to lose all the weight she had left. "If you are in trouble or if you do not feel yourself, I urge you to get help. Once you get help, you will feel that sense of control over yourself that you need to survive." Fitz has fought a hard battle and she assures me that just because she may seem okay, it does not mean that she is; as human beings we need to remember that we have no idea what battle someone is fighting on the inside and we need to all be good to each other.

"I didn't know you did that?" Hero turned to me, referring to the part about my mental health. I did not expose much about myself in the interview, but I did drop a bomb onto the entire world, breaking the news that Hero Tomlin—the most perfect man on this earth has a girlfriend who is broken.

The words I have wanted to say for these last few days finally come out, "I think you should talk to someone..." I bite my bottom lip, afraid how Hero will react. Will he yell at me? Will he ignore me and just walk away from me? I'm not even sure which reaction I would hate more. I have ignored his overdose for days and I've let him carry on with his days but this whole time, he couldn't have thought I'd forgotten what happened. Hero takes multiple sips of his coffee before even acknowledging what I've said, so I reword it; "You turn to alcohol when things are bad, and I think that it will help if you—" He stops me mid explanation. "I'll do it," he agreed. Hero actually agreed to get himself help. I don't say anything more about it because I know if I say more, he will change his mind.
