Chapter 4.
Reggie and I entered the elevator. I pressed the button for ground floor and waited for the doors to close. Reggie started to talk but I couldn’t concentrate. I kept on thinking about Tate and the kiss or should I say kisses. I guess we have always been intimate but it has never really gotten to the point where we kissed. Last night just gave us that push to move our relationship to the next level. He was there for me and I realized that maybe he was in love with me or at least really, really liked me. I wanted to kiss him but what I didn’t tell him at the time was that he hurt me to kiss him because it felt like I was hurting Maddox. Crazy I know but none the less it was there. PING! The elevator rang.

We walked out of the building to come face to face with a limo. I have never actually been in a limo before except for prom. Of course Maddox would do this. I sighed and walked towards the car with Reggie in foot. The driver opened the door and what I found pretty much shocked me to a point where I almost fainted. Maddox was sitting in the car next to…Angelina Garcia. Oh yeah, Marta’s gorgeous Spanish daughter. She is one of the biggest names in the model industry with long golden brown hair, dark green eyes (her father’s gene) and just the perfect body. I felt Reggie grab my hand. WHY WAS MADDOX DOING THIS TO ME!? I pushed back the tears. BE STRONG! I kept on repeating. Maddox got out of the car.

"Sadie. You look beautiful as always." I gave him a small nod and got into the car as quickly as possible. Reggie followed. Then Maddox. As soon as Maddox got in Angelina jumped all over him. I felt like I was going to hurl. I looked up to see Maddox looking at me. WHY?! I wanted to yell at him. He pushed Angelina off him and she turned and glared at me.

"Who are you again?" She snapped at me.
"Who do you think you-" I quickly covered Reggie’s mouth with my hand.
"I’m Sadie Cleaver. I work for the magazine, in the fashion department."
"You? I don’t see how you could get that job considering you have no fashion sense."
"Coming from someone who decided on a tacky red dress with crystals." I said without thinking. Oops. I heard Reggie chuckle beside me. She looked like she was fuming. I looked at Maddox who was showing no expression he was just…staring. I looked down and bit my lip.
"Didn’t you just hear what she said to me Mad?" Mad? Since when did he like being called Mad?
"Yes I did." He replied.
"Well aren’t you going to fire her?" He turned to face her. With anger written all over his face.
"Why would I fire her she has done nothing wrong." He said. I could detect the edginess in his voice now.
"SHE JUST INSULTED ME!"
"Well if you ask me you deserved it and I would appreciate it if you did not insult Sadie, EVER again."
"Or what?"
"I wouldn’t test me Angelina, I could end your career in a second if I really wanted to."

This should have scared me but it didn’t. Maddox has always had this authority in him, since he was thirteen.
I was about to say something then the car suddenly stopped. I looked out the window and saw that we were at the hotel. Reggie explained to me in the elevator, or at least I think he did, that it was being hosted on the rooftop of the Aroma Hotel. It is the most fancy and biggest hotels in the world. The door opened and you could see the flashing of cameras and hear all the paparazzi outside. Something tells me this is going to be a long, long night.

"I’ll be right here babe. Nothing to worry about." Reggie whispered in my ear. I nodded briefly then slid over to the door. A hand came down and I looked up to see Maddox. I hesitated knowing that if I were to touch him I would lose control. I slowly grabbed his hand only to be proved right. It was like electricity shot through me. I squeezed his hand and he did the same. He pulled me out of the car and I took a few steps out of the way for Reggie. I realized I was still holding his hand and I pulled away, which did something to my body. I felt like I had to latch on to him and everything would feel better. Reggie came to my side and we walked down the carpet that was laid out and towards the door. I realized that Angelina wasn’t there. Hmm she must be more pissed then I thought. We walked over to the elevator and he pressed the button. We all got inside and Maddox pressed the button for the rooftop. It was dead silent and completely and utterly…awquad. I could hear everyone breathing in and out it was so quiet. I was so so so grateful that they had the fastest elevator. There was a sudden ping and the doors flew open.

The party looked absolutely gorgeous. It overlooked the entire city, which was lighted up. There were lights hanging everywhere and there was a garden with red, purple, yellow and white tulips. My favourite. There was a dj and bar at the very back as well as a dance floor. Everyone was here and I mean everyone. Celebrities, models, fashion designers, photographers and of course the staff. It was insane. I couldn’t stop smiling.

"OH MY GOD! MARGARET JOHNATHEN’S IS HERE!" Reggie basically screamed in my ear. She is a famous movie star and Reggie’s favorite if you didn’t exactly figure out. "I have to go say hi to her! I will see you later!" And he was gone. I smiled then it dropped because I realized that Maddox was still with me.

"Would you like a drink?" He whispered in my ear. I felt his hand on the small of my back. I closed my eyes and started to take deep breaths. DO NOT LOOSE CONTROL! YOU WILL NOT LOOSE CONTROL!
"That would be nice. Can I have a-"
"Martini…dirty." He said cutting me off. I raised my eyebrows and he chuckled. "Do you really think I could forget about you that easily Sadie?" Before I could snap at him he walked away towards the bar. I followed in behind him but got pushed back a few times because of the people.

"Hey you can’t just say something like that then walk off-"
"Dance with me." He said cutting me off again.
"What?"
"Dance with me."
"No and you can’ keep cutting me off like that."
"Come on Sadie just dance with me. Please?" He said with his damn puppy dogface! ARRRGHH! I mentally screamed.
"Okay." I muttered.
"What was that?"
"I said okay."

He flashed me his dazzling smile and pulled me towards the dance floor. I realized the music had slowed and La Mar by the beautiful girls were playing (Australian band, recommend this song!). He put his hand on my waist and his other held my hand. I put my hand on his shoulder and we began to sway back and forth. I looked everywhere but at him. I was trying to divert my thinking to something else but I couldn’t help but think about how close his body was to mine. How his hand was gently pushing me into him. How warm he was…ARRGGHHH STOP!

"Sadie?" He whispered.
"Mmm?" I murmured looking to the side of me.
"Sadie please look at me." He whispered even softer. I slowly looked up at his sparkling bright blue eyes. I haven’t seen him like that since the last time I saw him, well second last time anyway. I cringed internally at that. But still every picture he has been in, every television feature his eyes had lost their sparkle…until now.

I couldn’t help but touch his face. My hand slowly and unconsciously made its way to his face. I felt the warmth of his cheek under my hand. I moved my fingertips to his lips, which parted slightly so I could feel his, now raged breath.

My brain just started to work again and everything that happened hit me as hard as it did yesterday. I had to get out of there. I pushed him off me, grabbed my clutch off the bar and ran to the elevator. I pressed the button and luckily it was still there. I ran inside and pressed the ground floor button. The doors closed but not quickly enough. A hand stopped the doors before it closed. Maddox stood there.

"Sadie I-"
"Get out Maddox! NOW!"
"No." He stepped into the elevator and the doors closed. He then turned and pressed the emergency stop button and the elevator jolted then stopped.
"Maddox what are you doing?" I went to press the button to make it go again but he stepped in front of me.
"No Sadie you are not going to run from me again."
"WHY MADDOX? THAT’S WHAT YOU DID TO ME!" His eyes were filled with so much hurt that I could see them start to water.
"Sadie please-"
"YOU LEFT ME MADDOX! IT WAS ALL YOU!"
"I didn’t have a choice-"
"WHEN I NEEDED YOU THE MOST! I NEEDED YOU AND YOU WEREN’T THERE AND YOUR REASON IS BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T HAVE A CHOICE!" I could feel the stream of tears running down my face and I was secretly happy that I only had a little mascara on.
"Don’t you think it killed me too Sadie? Do you honestly think that I was happy when I left you?"
"THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT?"
"I…I…I didn’t have a choice." I just shook my head.
"That’s not good enough Maddox. You broke me Maddox. You shattered me. I felt physical pain because of you and now you think you can come back into my life after four years and I will be happy about it?"
"Sadie…I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Words can’t even describe."
"No you can’t do this to me. Not now. I was just beginning to feel better Maddox. You can’t do this. Please, please leave. For me. I need you to leave."
"Sadie…I…I can’t. I can’t leave you again."
"Why!" I yelled at him.
"Because I love you. I love you Sadie Cleaver. I need you."
I felt my heart begin to speed up. For years I have longed to hear those sweet words. They were like the sounds of a beautiful symphony to me. I felt tears of sadness and happiness run down my cheeks. I reached across and pressed the button to make the elevator go again.
"Sadie…please say something. Please?" He begged.
"I can’t."
"Sadie please?" He begged again. I could see the tears in his eyes. Hurting him hurt me. I wish it didn’t but it did because the truth is I loved him to but I can’t trust him. Not yet.
"I wish that were enough Maddox."
The elevator doors opened and I ran out. I passed all the paparazzi. Luckily they didn’t care about someone like me so they didn’t take much notice. I slowed my pace down to a walk. I kept on thinking about what he said to me. I love you to. That’s what I was yearning to say. I love you to. Those four simple words could have meant my world would be back intact. My heart would beat normally again and sadness wouldn’t even come near me but I couldn’t. Maddox wasn’t the person who deserved to hear it. Not yet. I mean he was the one who left me. He was the one who slept with everyone. He was the one who even brought a date when he picked me up. I felt so confused. I needed a drink.

I saw a small pub on the corner. I went inside and it was smoky and it looked old but it was practically deserted. I walked over and sat on the barstool. An old man who looked about sixty came up.

"Well what’s a beautiful girl like yourself doing in a bar like this?"
"I’ve had a rough night."
"Yeah I can see that." I looked up in the mirror behind him to see that I had mascara streaks down my face. Damn! I knew I should have gone for the waterproof one.
"Well what can I get you. My treat."
"The strongest thing you have."
