Madison Pierce

by Christina Persaud

  "So, you are going to propose?" Melody asked excitedly.

  Madison smiled and looked at the palms of her hands. "I want to, but I just made a mess of things."

  "Then, fix it." Madison got up from sitting. The doctor said she needed as much rest as possible, but she was being discharged the next day which had to mean she was strong enough to walk around.

  She got up a few times before when she had to use the restroom since they took the catheter out but never got the chance to actually walk freely.

  She paced the room back and forth not saying anything. Melody sat observing her movements knowing that Madison was in deep thought.

  "I need your help." Madison finally spoke after a few minutes. Before Melody could have said anything, she continued, "This was supposed to be a surprise but since I need your help," she sighed. "I am going back to New York because I have some unfinished business to address." Melody arched her eyebrow curious to know what business Madison was talking about, which she knew her sister would elaborate further, but after a long pace, which was just a few seconds but felt longer, Melody decided to urge her sister to continue.

  "I have a few books that I have never published," Madison said calmly and rubbed her temples still pacing around the room. It felt nice to give her legs some exercise after the past few days of little to no movement. It pained a bit to do so but the more she walked the better she was feeling which was something to be happy about.

  "Why haven't you published them, especially since you said you have not written anything in a while?"

  "That is, true but I was too afraid, but now I don't care anymore. There are about eleven. All written over the past few years, even before I left London. My publisher told me that they are very good and should be published but I never had the heart to. Now, things are different. I am going back to New York and I am going to face my fears. But I need you to look out for Victoria for me. I know she is a grown woman and can handle herself, but you know... What I have to do is going to take about two weeks, maybe less. I really hope not more..."

  "Okay, okay, stop blabbing like an idiot. I will look out for her. I am guessing you just want me to make sure our mother stays away from tormenting her and I fully agree with that."

  Madison nodded her head and stopped pacing taking the time to look at her sister with a smile of appreciation. "You are the best sister.'

  "I am happy you know that.'

  The next day Victoria returned knowing that Madison was going to be released. "I am glad you are here," Madison said as she placed on her jacket. Melody was nice enough to buy her an outfit since all of her clothes were at Victoria's apartment and she didn't want to bug the woman, especially since how their last conversation went.

  "Why wouldn't I be?' Victoria asked faking a smile. She was trying to get accustomed to the fact that Madison was heading back to New York and without her. She spent the entire night curled up on her bed hugging her body pillow thinking of how much Madison was being a bitch, but she couldn't be angry at her for some reason. What did she expect? Madison could not just leave her amazing life in New York for her. Madison didn't even ask for her to go along with her but then again, she knew Madison would think that would be selfish. Why couldn't Madison just be selfish and ask Victoria to go with her?

  "Lost in thought love?' Madison questioned walking closer. She cupped Victoria's cheeks with the palms of her hands. Victoria fought back tears as she looked into those beautiful brown eyes. "I need to explain.' Madison whispered. Her hot breath touching Victoria's skin.

  "You already said enough." Victoria let her head drop resulting in Madison dropping her hands from her face and replacing her hold with Victoria's warm hands.

  "But I didn't explain." She looked up at Madison, the tears evidently welling up in her eyes. It broke Madison's heart to see her love cry, especially because it was her fault. "Don't cry love," Madison whispered.

  Melody walked into the room at the same time with the intention of her and Madison leaving but when she saw the two women she took a U-turn straight out of the room.

  "I can't believe you are leaving."

  "Not for long. I just need to do something that I have prolonged for a very long time." Madison explained her reason for leaving, assuring Victoria that she would be back.

  Victoria smiled and kissed Madison's cheek. "That's great. I am so proud of you. I wish you explained it yesterday would have saved me a lot of...” Victoria didn't finish the sentence not wanting to make Madison feel guilty.

  Sadly, Madison already knew what she was going to say. "I am sorry for making you cry. Please forgive me." Madison pleaded as Victoria wrapped her arms around Madison's torso and rested her head on the woman's chest.

  "I am just happy you are feeling better. You are healthy and being discharged. I can't believe how much better you got after the heart transplant. I would have thought you would spend weeks recovering."

  "Babe I don't think I can handle this dump for even a minute more." Victoria smiled against Madison's skin.

  "Well thank you. This dump will definitely not miss you then." Madison looked up to see Dr. Hanes along with her father including Gregory at the door.

  The two women released their embrace, and both faced the people at the door.

  "I am guessing you are ready to leave then."

  Madison grinned and placed her hand in Victoria's. "Ever since I got here."

  ****

  Since Victoria's apartment had all of Madison's belongings, they went there instead of her mother's house. She already knew no good would have come if she was in close proximity to that woman anyways.

  Melody and Gregory had followed along with his car but after seeing Madison was fine they decided to give the two women some privacy.

  Madison already explained to Victoria that she was going to leave the next day to New York and will be back as soon as she could. She was leaving so soon because she wanted to be done with it. If she didn't do it soon, there was a possibility she was never going to.

  Victoria could not get rid of the feeling inside of her, the feeling of already missing Madison's presence though she was right next to her, her head on Victoria's lap as Victoria caressed her hair.

  "I can't help but think that the last time I was here..."

  "I know love, I never have words to describe your mother.'

  "Well she is a homophobe, domineering, Machiavellian, patronizing, and most of all a bitch."

  Madison turned her head looking up at Victoria.

  "I didn't know your mind had all those extravagant words about your mother." Victoria grinned and Madison rolled her eyes.

  "I am a writer bitch, my vocabulary is amazing."

  "Well, you definitely don't speak like you do." Madison glared at her.

  "Shut up. I am not a grammatically lacking teenager. I just speak so you idiots can understand what I say."

  "Excuses, excuses, excuses, only grammar lacking teenagers make excuses." Madison raised her head and harshly bit Victoria's nipple through the thin material of both her tank top and bra.

  "Ouch," Victoria exclaimed as a moan slipped out her lips as well. "Mm."

  Madison released Victoria's nipple from between her lips seeing the woman's head thrown back. "Should have known you would like that," Madison said as she sat up.

  "Why did you stop?' Victoria groaned.

  Madison arched her eyebrow as she looked at the green-eyed beauty with a smirk. "Well, what do you have in mind?" Not waiting for an answer, Madison lifted one of her legs over Victoria's, resting it on the opposite side of Victoria in a straddling position.

  Madison placed her hands on the hem of her shirt and slowly lifted as she watched the eyes of her lover darken. Losing sight of Victoria for a moment as the shirt passed over her face, Madison looked down to see tears in Victoria's eyes. "What's wrong, love?"

  Victoria's hand traced over the bandage on Madison's chest. "We shouldn’t," Victoria whispered thinking of the scar
beneath the bandage. She felt her heart sink remembering how much Madison had been through in the past few days and still was.

  Madison sighed as she pulled her top down, Victoria's gaze still lingering on the spot.

  Madison's chest had hurt at the moment, painkillers were helping but not to a far extent.

  "Does it hurt?' As if the woman read her mind Madison smiled leaning her forehead against her lover's.

  "Just a little." She confessed subtly looking into those green eyes. "I love you."

  Victoria closed her eyes. The warmth of Madison's body made her feel so safe and the words that slipped out of the beautiful woman's mouth made all her fears set aside. Her heart felt lighter and her body calmer as she gave Madison the answer which only she out of the two thought was true. "I love you more."

  CHAPTER THIRTY

  They both took showers unfortunately separately. Madison rummaged through her suitcase, looking for pajamas which she forgot to pack, though she didn't really have much anyways. She always enjoyed the feeling of the sheets against her naked body. She would not have changed into anything but there was a bit of tension between the two about sex and Madison didn't want to make Victoria uncomfortable.

  Victoria had taken a shower before her and was already dressed. She said she would start preparing dinner for the two, and that Madison could help when she was done.

  As she held the towel up that was wrapped around her body. She only had the use of one of her hand.

  Madison groaned as her towel slipped and pooled at her feet on the floor. She bent to pick it up only to feel a sharp pain in her chest forgetting about the stitches.

  She had been careful when showering since she couldn't remove the bandage just yet. Luckily it was waterproof.

  The cost of the hospital bill was not as much as she expected and since she had no healthcare in London, she charged the amount to her debit card. Her father offered to pay for it, but she refused being more than capable to pay it herself.

  As she painfully picked the towel off the floor and gently wrapped it back around her body, it slipped again. "Fuck." She groaned very irritated and not having the strength to pick it up again. "Fuck it." She mumbled as she just rummaged through her suitcase again.

  She found a top first, not one she wore around the house, but it had to do. She slipped it over her head and pulled it down by the hem, then went in search of a pair of shorts.

  Victoria walked into the room to check up on Madison to make sure she was okay. She knew she would have a harder time doing things with the pain in her chest that would take time to heal.

  She came face to face with Madison’s rear and gulped. Her eyes scanned over the woman's two firm cheeks and her slightly parted legs that gave a glimpse of her core. She swallowed feeling the heat take over her body and the rise in the temptation to touch the woman.

  "It is rude to stare," Madison said turning and crossing her arms. She grinned and shook her head. "I actually knew you were staring, I decided to give you some time to enjoy the view." Madison grinned looking at Victoria, but Victoria's eyes were elsewhere. "My eyes are up here love." She giggled as Victoria seemed to be lost looking at her below the waist. "Victoria?"

  Victoria's head snapped up, a dark blush crept upon her gorgeous face. "U... mm." She swallowed feeling embarrassed but then her eyes traveled back to the same place once more.

  The temptation was killing her. Her hands were longing to touch sweet flesh and her lips as well. "Lie down on the bed." She ordered, her green eyes finally meeting Madison's brown.

  Madison smirked and was curious to know what Victoria was thinking though she already had an idea of what it was. She did as told, lying back with her knees shut.

  Victoria walked over to Madison and knelt down, lust filled her eyes and Madison stretched her neck upwards to see her lover's face.

  Madison felt her stomach churn with suspense as to what was going to happen next.

  "Tell me if you are in pain and I will stop," Victoria whispered as she parted Madison's legs. She then hummed as her hand grazed Madison's thigh, just below her center. "Five o’clock shadow suits you." She whispered as she brought her face closer.

  Madison could feel her folds become wetter with each warm breath that radiated towards her skin. Her breathing was rapid, and her arms were to her side.

  "Don't mock and tease me."

  "Do you think you can handle an orgasm?" Victoria questioned actually serious about the question. She didn't want her desire to put Madison in pain and if Madison felt like she could not then Victoria had no problem with stopping.

  "Ugh, just eat me already." Madison pleaded, though their eyes could not meet, Madison could sense her words made her lover aroused.

  "Let me think," Victoria trailed her finger on Madison's slit. Madison moaned in return and tried pushing herself forward for more friction against Victoria's finger. "You'll have to do something first."

  "Anything," Madison said immediately.

  "Take me along with you to New York." Madison smiled knowing that she wanted to ask that question but thought it would have been selfish of her.

  "Yes."

  "Yes?"

  "Yes!" Madison screamed as she was getting frustrated with the lack of touch.

  Victoria smiled and inched her face closer. She lifted Madison's legs and placed them over her shoulders.

  Without another word, she kissed the beginning of the valley before trailing her tongue down and then pushing it deeper between the folds.

  She could taste the wetness on her tongue and was craving more.

  Victoria was tempted to use her fingers but decided against it in case it had a negative effect towards how much Madison could take. She was a bit too cautious.

  "Omg, you suck at this." Madison laughed making Victoria frown. Madison realized she might have been a bit too insensitive. "Come here." Madison patted the bed beside her and Victoria obliged.

  "You are mean." Both of them lying on their sides. Madison could see the faint blush on Victoria's cheeks.

  "Baby, have you ever done that before?" Madison questioned as she closed her parted legs. Victoria shook her head; her cheeks became darker and Madison sighed. "Take off your clothes, I am going to teach you."

  "But your..."

  "Trust me it is not going to hurt me." Victoria nodded and propped herself up in a seated position. She took off her shirt, which felt like ages to unbutton and then lifted her bottom off the bed to remove her shorts.

  She decided to leave her undergarments on since she felt a bit awkward about the situation. Madison had propped herself up on one of her elbows as she was watching Victoria get undressed.

  "Can I ask you a question?" Victoria turned to her and nodded. "Do you have any experience with women?" Madison asked bluntly.

  Victoria took a breath and turned her body completely to face Madison.

  "I have only been with one other woman and she only likes fucking me." Victoria bit the side of her cheek a bit embarrassed.

  "Oh I understand why she liked that but there is great pleasure in feeling someone's cum on your fingers and your mouth. I should know." Madison winked referring to their previous activities inside Victoria's office.

  "Well I can't say that was the first, but it came close to the best." Victoria smiled and leaned down to kiss Madison's lips.

  "Hold up," Madison said as she cut the kiss short. "Close to best?"

  Victoria laughed. "I think you know I have been with men, right?" Madison nodded. "Well, there was this one, horrible personality but great at eating."

  Madison pouted, "I am great at eating."

  "I never said that you are not."

  "But I am not the best you have had." Victoria groaned and crossed her arms over her chest.

  "It is not a competition."

  Madison nodded her head. "It is. I wasn't given the name ‘pussy eater’ for nothing."

  Victoria furrowed her eyebrows, "how many women have you slept with?" Madison cleare
d her throat.

  "Would you like me to list them?" She said sarcastically.

  "No just give me an average."

  "Well let me see, counting all the US states, plus here." Madison grinned. "Does it even matter?" She sighed as Victoria's green eyes became softer.

  "No it doesn't."

  "I have slept with a lot of women. One-night stands were not my greatest moments. I got tested the next day." Madison shook her head. "I have never found anyone to take your place."

  "Are you still looking?"
