"No... Tate never tells me anything." Madison looked at her cousin.
All eyes turned to Tatum. "What? Was I supposed to?"
Kat sighed. "You act like you did when you were fourteen."
"That was only five years ago." Madison pointed out.
"Can we eat now?" Benji asked.
"We would have already eaten if you and Madison had gotten out of bed." Paul smirked.
Chelsea's eyes widened. "Maddy, you slept with Benji?"
"Not like that you pervert," Benji started, "she stayed over last night."
"So I didn't have to face my parents." Madison whispered to Chelsea.
"Oh... I sorta forgot about them."
"About who?" Billy looked completely lost. He looked to Jenni for an answer. She shook her head. "I'll tell ya later." She whispered to him. He nodded.

After lunch Madison went with Tatum to her house. "Tate, I don't wanna go in there."
"Madison, I'm coming with you. If anything happens then Joel's on speed dial. But you have to get some clothes. You're old enough to be out on your own. Sides, you can stay with me." Tatum took off her seat belt and opened the car door. "You coming?"
Madison looked at the house. "Yeah," She got out of the car and went to the front door; it was locked. Madison sighed and unlocking the door she poked her head in. "Hello?" No answer. She smiled and went to her room.
Madison and Tatum hurridly packed a bag. Tatum jumped when her cell phone went off. She sighed and answered. "Hello? Joel we're coming." She put more stuff in the bag and talked on the phone. "Yes... No... Shut up. I have to go. OK. Bye." She put her phone in her pocket. "Gah! He's annoying sometimes."
"What did he want?" Madison asked, zipping up the bag.
"Nothing. He just wanted to know what was taking so long."
Madison chuckled and grabbed her bag. She opened the door and went down the stairs. "So, are we going back to your appartment or Benj and Joel's?"
"Benji and Joel's."
Madison got in the car and looked around. "Come on Tate!"
"Sorry, I thought I heard something."

Madison sat next to Benji on the couch. "You're quiet." Benji stated.
Madison nodded. "So are you."
"Wanna do something?"
"Like what?"
Benji sat silent for a minute, he grinned at Madison. She just looked at the floor, not expecting what Benji was about to do. Benji tackled her and started tickling her. "AH! Benji!!" They fell onto the floor. Benji landed on top of Madison. She looked at him and was about to kiss him as Joel came into the room.
"Benj, get off of her."
Benji got off of Madison and helped her up. She gave a slight frustrated sigh. "You're no fun Joel."
"You were laying on her. You molest her more than..."
"More than you do Tate?" Benji shook his head. "I don't think so."
"You don't think what?" Tatum asked walking out of Joels bedroom and into the kitchen.
"Nothing." Madison shook her head and looked at Benji. She looked at the floor and saw something under the couch. She picked it up. "Uh... Tate?"
Tatum came out of the kitchen. "What?" She asked, sipping her coke.
Madison giggled, "Lose something?" she asked holding up a pair of black panties.
Tatum raised an eyebrow. "Those aren't mine."
Joel shook his head. "Nope, they aren't."
Benji took them from Madison. "They were Amanda's."
Tatum almost spit out her coke. "What the fuckin' ass?"
Benji rolled his eyes. "When her room mate kicked her out, she stayed here. Geez, all you perverts." He walked into his room.
Madison looked at Joel and Tatum with a confused look. "Who's Amanda?"
"His girl friend."
Tatum sighed. "Actually I think she's an ex Joel. I mean, didn't you see his expression?"
Joel nodded. "She's a bitch. She didn't deserve him."
Madison sighed and went to Benji's room. She knocked on the door. "Benji? Can I come in?" The door opened and she went in.
Joel looked at Tatum. "He didn't tell me he broke up with her. Though, I knew it would happen."
"Yea, well... Maybe he and Maddy'll get together." She giggled jokingly.
Benji lay on his bed looking at the ceiling. Madison sat next to him. "Who's Amanda?"
"My ex girl friend. No one of importance." Benji sighed. He looked at Madison. "So?"
"What?" She looked at him and layed down next to him. She turned on her side to face Benji. She looked into his saddened chocolate brown eyes. "Are you OK?"
"I guess so." He tried to smile.
Madison nodded and scooted closer to Benji. He leaned his forhead on hers. "I won't bring her up again."
"Thank you."
Madison smiled and hugged Benji. Benji held her close and rolled onto his back. Madison lay on top of him. "You're heart's beating faster." She grinned. Benji shrugged. Madison smiled and looked into his eyes. She leaned down and gently kissed his lips.
"What was that for?" He asked as she sat up.
"I don't know," She shrugged. "I just felt like doing that."
"Oh..."
Madison grinned and kissed Benji longer and more passionatly this time. She stopped and looked at Benji. "I'm sorry."
Benji looked slighty confused. "Why are you sorry?"
"Because I kissed you."
Benji smiled. "Don't be sorry." He said, putting his hand on her neck. He pulled her into another kiss.
