The year is 2026 – Madison and Zoe

Madison sat bolt upright in bed as the sound of her cell phone filled her ears.She stumbled out of bed reaching for her jeans. She grabbed them up and unhooked the cell phone from its holder.

Hello, this is Madison.

Hey Maddie, its David.

Whats up David? Is there a problem? What time is it?

Its 6:30. Im sorry to bother you but we have problems in the command center. Ive got 2 no shows for the 1st shift and the software distribution had problems last night. Im not sure were going to get the software rolled out by end of day.

Give me 45 minutes and Ill be there. Call up Derek and see if he can come in too and call the head of the software distribution group and tell him we need the problems fixed ASAP or itll be his head I hand to senior management.

Okay Maddie, thanks for coming in. Ill see you in a bit.

Maddie reach down, picked up her pants and pulled them on. She found her shirt and put that on as well. As she was tying her shoes Zoe knocked on the door.

Come on in.

So, do you always get phone calls at ungodly hours?

Its my job. I get calls at all hours of the day and night. Im sorry but Ive got to take a rain check on breakfast. My project is having problems and Ive got to get into the office.

Its okay, Im not as hung over as I thought I would be. How about you?

Im fine. Remember, I didnt have as much as you. Maddie smiled at Zoe as she got up and reached for her jacket. Ive got to get going. Do you think we could do this again sometime?

Zoe laughed which part, you trying to pick me up; dinner; the drive home listening to that god awful music you put on?

Whoa, lets not throw stones at glass houses! So, how about dinner tonight? I should be done with work by 8 and I can stop by and pick you up.
Youre forgetting one thing; your car is back at the bar.

*****! I guess Ill call a cab. Ive got to get to work ASAP!

Ill drive you over and pick you up when youre done. Just give me a second to throw on some clothes and grab my car keys.

Zoe quickly threw on some clothes and went back to find Madison. Madison was pacing back and forth in the living room like a caged animal. Zoe tried to comprehend the dichotomy that was Madison Kennard; by night a calm, cool huntress, by day a dedicated, aggressive, living on the edge business woman. She shook her head and laughed.
You know youre going to wear a hole in my carpet if you keep pacing like that.

Im sorry Zoe, its just this project is very important to my career. It can make or break me and I intend on being successful.

I understand, remember Im a lawyer at one of the most prestigious law firms in LA. I intend to make partner one day. Come on, lets get you to work.

Madison gave Zoe the directions and they were off. Zoe got Madison to work in less than 15 minutes, with Madison hanging on for dear life the whole way.

Zoe I cant thank you enough for getting me here so quickly but I think my stomach is back about 3 lights. Holy *****, you can kick ***** in this baby cant you?

Sure can, so get your cute little butt in there and make things better. Let me give you my cell number so you can call when youre finished. She gave Madison her number and Madison gave Zoe her number as well. Madison open the door but before she got out she turned to Zoe and said so you think my butts cute huh? I didnt think you noticed.

Oh I noticed alright, that and a few other things too.

Hmmm, its nice to know I had some effect on you, I was beginning to wonder.

Zoe surprised Madison by leaning over and pulling her in for a kiss. Zoe brushed her lips gently against Madisons at first and as Madison responded Zoe deepened the kiss. She ran her tongue lightly over Madisons lips, looking for entry. Madison complied and Zoe entered her with a soft moan. They kissed until they needed to come up for air. Madison looked Zoe in the eyes and softly said Im not sure Ill be able to concentrate on anything but that for the rest of the day Zoe. What are you doing to me?

Im giving you a little taste of things to come Madison Kennard. All you have to do is stay with me long enough to find out how good it can get.

Madison for once in her life was at a loss for words so she just sat there staring into Zoes eyes. Zoe broke the silence by saying now get the heck out of this car and get to work. Ill be waiting for your call.

Madison walked into the command center and was bombarded with questions and problems to be solved. Her team was the best in the business but it was her leadership that they needed to pull all the pieces together. They had to get the software rolled out before 9 am Monday morning and that meant they had a little over 24 hours. She hoped it wouldnt take that long. As she and her team worked to overcome the obstacles that kept on popping up throughout the day Madison found herself thinking of Zoe every time she had a free moment. She barely knew her but felt a strong connection with her. How was that possible? She never believed in love at first sight but maybe thats what this was. God, she was totally thrown off balance. She was always the one in control, dictating what path her relationships or one night stands took. With Zoe she just sort of turned over that control. It felt good, almost liberating. But how long would it last? Madison didnt do relationships well; she never lasted longer than 6 months with anyone but a part of her longed to have what her parents and aunts had. A love so strong that nothing could break it. A love that lasted a lifetime and got better with each year. A love that created a family. She didnt think she had it in her to commit to anyone but here she was thinking of these things because of one night with Zoe Cole and she hadnt even slept with her yet. She started thinking of the kiss they had shared and let her mind run wild. Before she knew it the throbbing between her legs was unbearable.

Madison, Madison. Have you heard a word Ive said? We need you on this conference call.

Sorry David, Ill be right there. She took a deep breath and slowly got up from her chair to join her team in the conference room. She hoped that none of them would notice her flushed condition.

Meanwhile, Zoe had arrived back at her apartment and was on the phone. Yes, everything is going according to plan. She picked me up last night and we had dinner together. No, I dont think so. Yes, were seeing each other later today. I made you a promise and Im going to keep it. Relax, Ill have Madison Kennard eating out of my hand before the week is out.
