(A/N; Thanks everybody for the great reviews, they mean a lot! I'm glad you are enjoying the story, if there is a storyline you want me to do, let me know, otherwise I'm going to stick with my corny romantic sort of cliffhangers!)

….

~~Madison helped Ephram stand up, they looked into each other's eyes, Madison tilted her head then replied softly, without looking away from Ephram, "We cant…"~~

….

"Are you insane!" Leah exhaled and made funny movements with her hands, "what do you mean!"

~~~Flashback~~~

Ephram pulled at the little patch of hair under his bottom lip, then took hold of Madison's hand, "Promise me that our first kiss will be special, nothing spur of the moment kinda thing."
Madison smiled, "If and when you break up with your girlfriend, lets go out on a romantic date that night and see where it leads us. I promise."
"I promise too."

~~~End Flashback~~~

"you know, that's not funny!" Leah said, flipping her hair behind her.
Myka replied, "yeah, but we do know how well Brown keeps his promises. I mean damn, when he first started datin' ms. Psycho, we wondered how long it was gonna be before he tapped that ass. But he said, which made me wanna puke by the way, he said that he only has sex when he's in love! What'd you do to that man, Madison!"

Everybody laughed then proceeded to the cafeteria for some lunch.
"So, where you two goin' on your date?" asked Jess as they sat down at a table.
Ephram couldn't stop looking at Madison, holding her hand, "can't tell you…it's a surprise."
Madison looked at Jess, "I don't even know, all I do know though is that I have to meet him some place at 7pm."
Ephram stood up, "Well, I really have to go" and he handed Madison a little piece of paper before he walked away.
Leah was in her own little world, then gave Myka a stern look and pushed him playfully, "Why cant you be that sweet and romantic!"
Myka gave her a shocking look, "babe, we been datin' 5 years! I don't get romantic."
Leah turns away from him and jokingly whispers at Madison, "so I'm 21, I have needs too! He's 23 going on 55!" she smiled, "so, what's the piece of paper saaaaay!"
Madison opens the piece of paper, "it says 'music building, 2nd row', that's all it says…"
"Why you meetin' him there, they are having rehearsals tonight, man."
Five minutes to 7pm, Madison made her way into the music building, and on her seat she found a pink rose and a little booklet of songs to be played/rehearsed tonight. The rehearsals started then Bright and Leah tried quietly to make their way to where Madison was. They didn't make it, the music started and they didn't want to be rude so they took the seats closest to them, trying still to be quiet, Bright whispered, "there has to be at least 20 people here, its pretty packed for a rehearsal!."

Madison kept looking around, not sure if she was in the right place since Ephram wasn't there. After two pieces were played, a piano was brought out on stage and Bright threw a piece of paper to Madison, she read it, "turn to page 4!"
Still confused, she turned it to page four and in medium print was "breathless" written by and composed by Ephram Brown. When she looked up in surprise, Ephram was walking out on stage toward the piano, winking at Madison. Leah slinked her way to where Madison was and when she sat down she noticed Madison's eyes were filled with tears. She whispered, "Ephram wrote this song for me over 3 years ago!"
First the orchestra played then Ephram joined in with the piano. Playing with all of his heart, he felt so free, putting everything he had into this one piece, his eyes closed and his body moving with each note.
He played a couple more pieces after that before jumping off stage to sit with Madison. Her eyes still filled with tears, holding the pink rose when he whispered, smiling, "want to get out of here?" He took her hand and they headed out of the auditorium. When they were out in the hall, they stopped walking and Ephram wrapped his arms around her waist, "I think you drank too much water"
"What are you talking about?" she asked confused.

"You're eyes are leaking, you must of drank too much water."
Madison laughed, putting her forehead on his shoulder

He lead Madison to the wall where they sat down on the floor, his back against the wall and Madison sitting in between his legs, leaning on his chest and his arms around her, "I want to show you something" he said pulling out a medium sized box from one of the big pockets of his baggy pants. Inside the medium sized box were pictures and trinkets and other little things that he has kept that were either of Madison or reminded him of her. "Oh wow, that's the picture of us" she said "you trying to teach me the piano." she continued as he showed her other things, "oh my god, Ephram, you saved the concert ticket from three years ago?"
"All these things mean so much to me. I lost the perfect girl once….I don't want to lose her again." Madison tilted her head to look at him as he shifted to get a better look at her, "I love you…with all my heart"
As he leaned in to kiss her, she whispered, "you still take my breath away." It was a slow passionate kiss, her hand on the back of his neck, his arms wrapped around her, holding her.
