Songs About Rain

"This is Madalynn Richards. Sorry I missed your call. Leave your name and number and I will get back to you as soon as possible." Orlando glared at his phone. She still wouldn't answer his phone calls. He slammed his phone on the table and stood up. He glanced around his apartment and sighed. It was full of memories of Madalynn. Hell, there was a portrait of the two of them on the wall. The walls were painted to her liking, the furniture was what she had picked out. Everything screamed MADALYNN.

"Hey OJ." Dominic Monagahan muttered as he walked into the kitchen. He fumbled around in the cabinets for a moment and finally came out with a green mug that say 'Maddy and Lando'. He read it and shrugged before pouring a cup of coffee. Orlando glared at his best friend.

"Hello Dom. How was your night? MINE was bloody terrible. As have been all of my nights since YOU came." Orlando snapped as he walked to the stainless steel fridge and got an apple.

"Well, I just happened to come around the same time she left you. So get over it." Dom replied tiredly. Orlando pointed to the tabloid on the table. The Flaming Sun was the most reliable tabloid he had ever seen. Dom picked up the paper. It was thick today.

Madalynn and Orlando are OVER! She has now been spotted with Jeremy Davies. He just so happens to be an Orli look-a-like! Madalynn, 25, is the lead guitar player and singer for The Rabids. According to Madalynn's rep, she and Orlando have been split up for two weeks. LOOKS LIKE SHE MOVED ON QUICK! The couple was together for six months. Orlando is reportedly a ladies man and doesn't stay with one woman for very long.

Dom laughed, "Shitty reporters, man. They didn't even get how long you were together correct. May I remind you that you were together for eleven months? And you have only had like four girlfriends since you got into Hollywood. It's a bunch of bull, in my humble opinion."

Orlando shrugged, "There are pictures. I looked it up on the internet."

Dom stared at his friend, "Man...it's too early for this shit. It is 7 in the morning. Did you even sleep last night?" Orlando shook his head 'no'. Dom closed his eyes, "Get some fucking help, OJ." Dom shook his head and walked off to the guest room.

Madalynn sighed as she glanced at her cell phone again. She had ten missed calls from Orlando. She knew what it was about too. But Madalynn didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Jeremy Davies walked in, "Hey dear. You ready to start?" He asked. Madalynn was starring in a movie with him. She looked at him and smiled.

"Yes. Let's go." She took his hand and they walked outside.

Dom laid on the bed and grabbed his iphone. Then looked at a picture on the desk. "LANDO!" He yelled.

"What dick?" Orlando muttered as he walked in.

"Who is this gorgeous brunette in that picture with Maddy?" Dom's eyes widened.

"That's Jade. Haven't you met her before? Oh right you were filming in New Zealand..when she was here. She's a photographer with Maddy's band but was in India the past six months working on an exhibit. Just got back to LA actually." Orlando rambled.

"Hook me up!" Dom exclaimed. Orlando rolled his eyes.

"I am heartbroken and you want me to help YOU get a girlfriend?" Orland asked, smiling slighty. It was his first smile in days.

"Ya brah!" Dom laughed, "You know you wanna!"

Orlando laughed, "Let me text her and shit."

*&*

Madalynn smiled at the director as she headed on set.

*Okay, I am changing it to where she is just filming a music video...no movie star shit.*

"Thanks dude." Dom looked at the picture again. "She looks like a total hippie but she's smokin' hot."

*&*

She was thrilled to film and excited one of her good friends was in town.

Orlando laughed, "Yeah. She is hot."

"Okay, where do you want me?" Jeremy asked.

Madalynn smiled, "We will let you know when we are ready for you. Would you like to meet my best friend later?"

Dom nodded. "She text ya back? What'd ya say?"

*&*

"Course I would." He smiled.

Orlando frowned., "I told her you like her. She said she is hanging out with Madalynn tonight. But you are welcome to go."

"Should we both just stop by?" Dom knew he'd be happy to see Maddy.

Orlando looked at Dom, "I guess so."

"You and Maddy can chat then." He mumbled.

Orlando laughed, "That's what I want so I guess I will go."

Dom shrugged, 'See OJ. It will be okay."

"Yeah yeah." He muttered. "Ya know now you have to impress Jade."

Dom grinned, "Better get started on that. You have to impress Maddy too!"

"Don't remind me..might be damned well impossible." Orlando muttered.

"What did you do anyway?" Dom asked.

Orlando frowned, "I told her I didn't want to marry her anytime soon."

Dom raised an eyebrow, "That sounds stupid."

"It is stupid. I do want to marry her. Just not yet. AND she left me because of it." He frowned.

"Because she's ready for marriage." He coughed, "Dude you just need to have a mature conversation about it."

Orlando rolled his eyes, "We have only been together for almost a year!"

Dom looked at him, "Okay...let me tell you something, you proposed to every other girlfriend before the year mark. Maybe she feels like you don't think she is worth it because you are taking so long. I think that the reason you haven't proposed yet is because you DO love her and you DO think she is worth it."

Orlando looked slightly confused, "What?"

Dom laughed, "The reason you haven't proposed is because she isn't like every other girl. You really love her. And you don't want your relationship ruined because of a proposal."

He paused then sighed, "That is true."

Later that night...

The boys looked very smashing as they left the house to meet the girls.

"So I think Orlando may be coming." Jade blurted out as they sipped their drinks.

Madalynn glared at Jade for a moment, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Jeremy is coming."

"Yeah...so what is going on with you two?" Jade asked.

Madalynn shook her head, "Nothing. We are simply friends."

"Then it shouldn't be a problem." Jade shrugged.

Madalynn smiled, "Didn't you read the tabloids? I know Orlando did so he, most unfortunately, most likely believes the shit they say."
