~*~*~*~~**~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next month went by very quickly, and Ephram and Madison had never been more in love. But then, the fateful Saturday afternoon was upon them...
{Airport- Saturday afternoon}
--- Ephram and Madison are just finished getting Madison's ticket ---
"So... Uh... You board in about an hour." Ephram stated.
"Yeah. An hour." Madison tried to smile.
"So... Maybe... We should go sit down?" Ephram suggested.
"Sure. Sitting down is good." Madison nodded.
"Good, cause I like to sit too..." Ephram said awkwardly.
"Uh huh." Madison agreed.
They went to find a seat, and Ephram put down Madison's suitcase. He looked over at her and noticed she was crying.
"Madison. The year and a half will just fly by." Ephram tried to smile, holding back tears of his own.
"But what if it doesn't? What if I come back here and you've moved on, and you've forgotten all about me!" Madison was starting to become frantic.
"Shhhh. I could never ever forget you. You were my first for alot of things. I never forget firsts." Ephram said, hugging Madison close to him.
"How are you so sure?" Madison sniffled.
"What... do you want me to list all my firsts with you?" Ephram asked.
"Yes." Madison whispered.
"Um... Okay. Well lets sit." Ephram said, helping Madison sit down. "Okay... well I'll start with the obvious. My first love, my first 'time', the first time I purposely left clothes at a girl's house, and the first time I realized that a girl could control my life. I'll be here waiting when you get back. Promise."
"Pinkie swear?" Madison held out her pinkie.
"Pinkie swear." Ephram locked his pinkie with hers.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Madison said, letting a tear fall down her face.
"Yeah. It does." Ephram smiled, wiping said tear away.
The couple sat down. Ephram had his arms wrapped around Madison and she had her head on his chest. They were both crying now. They sat like that until Madison's plane was announced.
"I have to go board now." Madison said.
"Yeah... I'll come with." Ephram smiled supportively, taking Madison's hand in his.
They reached the boarding gate, and Madison turned to look at Ephram.
"I love you so much." Madison said, throwing her arms around Ephram and hugging him tightly.
"I love you too." Ephram said, letting a couple tears fall down his face.
Ephram pressed his lips gently on Madison's.
"Here. Open it on the plane." Ephram said, putting a small package in Madison's coat pocket.
"Thanks." Madison sniffled, grabbing her suitcase and heading toward the boarding tunnel.
The ticket checker took Madison's boarding pass, and Madison started walking into the tunnel.
"I love you!" Ephram yelled. He was openly crying now.
Madison turned around, smiled and waved.
"I love you too." Madison yelled.
She kept walking down the tunnel. Ephram ran to the window to watch her walk further. Madison saw him and blew him a kiss. He could tell she was crying too. Ephram put his hand on the glass, and mouthed 'i love you'. Madison mouthed it back as she walked. Finally she was out of sight, and Ephram slumped down on the nearest chair and cried.
On the airplane, Madison was crying as she was looking for her seat. Most of the passengers were looking at her oddly. She finally found her seat, next to an older woman. Madison sat down, and pulled out the package Ephram had given her. She unwrapped it and two things fell out: a box and a piece of paper. Madison opened the paper first. Tears started to fall more freely. Madison started to read.
i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh.... And eyes big love-crumbs,
and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you so quite new
- e.e. Cummings
It was the poem that was carved onto the play structure at the park. Madison smiled through her tears and put the paper in her pocket. She then opened the box. When she saw what was inside, her heart almost stopped. It was a pear cut diamond ring. She took it out of the box, and there was a note attached to it saying 'Madison, will you marry me?'. Madison held in a sob. On the other side of the note was a phone number. She quickly took out her cell phone and called it. Ephram picked up.
"Madison?" Ephram choked.
"Yes. Ephram. Yes. Yes. Yes." Was all Madison could say.
"I love you." Ephram smiled.
"I love you too." Madison smiled.
They hung up, and Madison put the ring on her ring finger. She looked at it and smiled. Madison could tell that this was it. Even though she was going away for a year and a half, she would always have Ephram. Always.
