The next day, Ephram woke at about 6:30 in the morning, and felt a
comfortable weight on his chest. He looked down to see Madison sleeping
peacefully with her head on him. He smiled to himself, glad about the way
things had been working out between them so far. Carefully, so as not to
wake Madison up, he gently pulled her in closer in a pleasant hug and tried
to go back to sleep. A few hours later, Ephram woke up from a kiss from
Madison.
"Good morning sleepy head!" Madison giggled.
"Wow. You even look hot in the morning!" Ephram hadn't meant to say this out loud, but now that he had, he didn't really care.
"That's more than you can say...!" Madison joked. She snuggled in closer to him, trying to savor every last bit of warmth from their body heat the night before.
"Woman, what are you making me for breakfast? Get into that kitchen!" Madison looked at Ephram, insulted and surprised at his comment. Not having meant to offend her, but quickly realizing how un-funny his joke was, he hurriedly tried to fix the situation.
"Joke, joke...it was a joke!" Ephram made a mental note NEVER to use that joke ever again.
"Come on boy. Let's go shower...I'm still all sticky from last night! By the way, Eph...that was...I'm just so glad to have shared that experience with you." Madison smiled nervously and looked up at him.
"Me too, Mads. Me too..." At that, they both smiled to themselves, content with the moment. Soon after their shower and breakfast, the phone rang.
Madison was about to reach for it when Ephram stopped her. What if it was his father?
"Hello? Brown residence. This is Ephram speaking." Madison silently snickered to herself at Ephrams fake politeness.
"Ephram? What's with the 'politeness'?"
"Oh hey dad. What's up? Hows Denver?" Ephram mentally thanked God he stopped Madison from picking up the phone.
"You know....its Denver. I'm leaving in about 2 hours so I won't be home for another 4 at least. Just calling to check in...Delia should be home around 12, about 3 hours. Make sure she does her homework and take good care of her."
"Yea, whatever dad. Have I ever let Delia down? Have fun, see you later. Bye" Ephram hung up the phone before his dad could get another word in. He hadn't realized he was being suspicious....
