Sorry it took me forever to update. I just re-watched season 2 and got inspired so hopefully I'll be updating more often. Enjoy!
They were sitting at a booth in the corner waiting for their food.
"So...do you want to talk about what happened with your dad?"
Ephram looked up at her, that was the last thing on his mind at the moment.
"I do...but I just think that tonight should be like a-a care-free, fun-loving type of night...you know? We can keep all the depressing stuff for our next date"
"Yeah...yeah I think that's a good idea" She nodded and smiled, "I'm really glad we're doing this...I think it'll be good for us"
"So...uh, I've been thinking about it...and, well I-I think that I've made a decision..."
Madison looked up, what happened to the "care-free, fun-loving" night? She definitely wasn't ready for Ephram to make any sort of decision, they hadn't even talked about it yet.
"Ephram-"
He held his hand up to stop her, "No...No it's ok, I-I've put a lot of thought into this...and I've decided...to let you pick the music on the way back"
She let out a sigh of relief, "I knew you would give in"
"I wouldn't call it 'giving in'...I-I would call it 'being a gentleman' "
"You can call it whatever you want Brown, you still gave in"
"Hey, I can still take it back"
"Fine...I don't even care anymore"
"Fine"
"Fine"
She crossed her arms and they stared at each other for a couple seconds before bursting into laughter.
After dinner they decided to walk around a little.
"Anything else you wanna do? I mean we could-we could go get some ice cream or something...whatever you want"
" I don't know...I'm kind of in a lazy mood...maybe we could just go back and hang out a while before you have to leave?"
Ephram nodded, "Yeah-yeah that's totally fine"
"Good"
They got to Madison's house and went inside. Ephram went to go sit on the couch and Madison went to the kitchen to make some tea.
"So do you wanna watch TV or something?" Ephram called from the family room.
"Whatever you want to do sweetie...hey do you want lemon?"
"No-no...I-I think drinking tea threatens my rugged manlyness enough as it is..."
Madison smiled as she walked into the room with their drinks, "Well you wouldn't want to do anything to hurt your 'rugged manlyness' "
"I'm glad you see where I'm coming from"
She sat down next to him and put the mugs on the table.
Ephram went to pick up his mug, but Madison stopped him.
"The tea can wait"
She leaned in and kissed him softly.
"I like the way you think"
He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and kissed her deeply. She leaned back until she was lying down with Ephram on top of her. He slowly slipped his tongue into her mouth and she reciprocated.
After a couple minutes Ephram slowly pulled away.
"Aren't you glad you didn't add the lemon?"
Madison smiled and nodded.
She kissed him again, "It's been a while since we've done that"
"Well...we've had some distractions...b-but that's the beauty of tonight right? No distractions"
She bit her lip, "No distractions"
He leaned down and they started kissing agian.
"Ephram-" Madison said in between kisses
"Ephram-"
He pulled away.
"You're vibrating"
He smiled, "I know...I-I was sorta trying to ignore it"
"But what if it's your dad or something?"
"Exactly my point"
She smiled, "answer it"
Ephram took his phone out of his pocket and saw the caller ID, it was infact his dad. He looked at Madison who motioned for him to answer so he did.
"Hello"
"Ephram, it's me - listen, I know you don't really want to talk to me right now, and that's fine, but I need you to come home."
"Now? Why?"
"Something came up and I have to make a house call...I need you to keep an eye on Delia"
"Dad...I don't know if you noticed but we pretty much live in the safest town on the planet, I think Delia will be able to handle herself for an hour"
"You're probably right, but I'm not ready to let her do that so I need you to come home"
Ephram looked at Madison, "No"
"Ephram, this isn't something you have a say in, if you're not home in 10 minutes you lose the car"
"But that's not-"
"I'll see you soon" he hung up.
Ephram slammed his phone shut. "Asshole"
"You have to go?"
"He doesn't want to leave Delia alone, if that's even the real reason"
"It's fine Ephram...really"
"So uh...tomorrow I should probably go to school...b-but after-like around 3, I could come by"
She nodded as they stood up, "Yeah, 3 is good..." she looked up at him, "maybe we could talk"
He looked at her, surprised, "You-you think you're ready...I mean if-if you're not it's totally fine..."
"No...no I think it's time."
"Yeah, Ok...tomorrow then"
He gave her a sweet kiss.
She bit her lip, "Thanks for tonight, it was good to forget about everything for a little while"
"Yeah...maybe we could make it like a regular thing..."
"Yeah, definitely" she smiled and kissed him.
"Bye"
She kissed him again, "Bye"
