~~FLASHBACK~~
They started making out on the couch. This time when Ephram ran his hand up Madison's shirt she said nothing.
~~END OF FLASHBACK~~
Madison pulled away, grabbed Ephram's hand, and looked at his watch.
Madison: Your dad is gonna be home soon (she said sounding disappointed)
Ephram: Well I'd say tonight was a success
Madison: yes, very successful (she kisses him)
Just then they heard a key in the door. They quickly sat up and turned on the TV.
Andy: hey! How was your night?
He noticed they are watching the history channel.
Andy: I am guessing you weren't really watching that.
Ephram: Actually I find the French Revolution to be quite interesting.
Madison: (laughing) yeah...me too.
Andy: It's ok, I was young once ya know?
Ephram: So I've heard
Andy: Hey! I was, and as hard as it is to believe Ephram, I was a ladies man back in the day.
Ephram: Oh god please stop!! (Madison laughing in the background)
Madison: I see where you get it from Ephram (laughing)
Ephram: ha...ha
Andy: Well Delia is sleeping at Nina's and I am gonna go up to bed, Madison I think it is time to go home.
Madison: Alright (she kisses Ephram goodbye) see you tomorrow (she winks at him)
Ephram: bye (smiles at her)
Andy: Bye Madison
Madison: Bye Dr. Brown
She left and Andy looked at Ephram.
Andy: So did anything happen that I should know about?
Ephram: (rolling his eyes) sure, if you wanna know about eating food.
Andy: You know that's not what I meant Ephram. (sternly)
Ephram: No dad, nothing happened (he gets up) goodnight (he goes upstairs to bed)
Three days went bye. Ephram only saw Madison once. She had classes and papers and he had to study for midterms. They were seeing each other tonight for some "study time" Ephram was trying desperately to get his dad to let him go to her house.
Andy: Ephram, there is no possible way I am letting you go, I won't be there to watch you and there is no telling what you could do.
Ephram: Uh-dad I am not 5, you don't need to watch me all the time.
Andy: I do when you are with her, you two can't control yourselves around one another.
Ephram: What are you talking about, we are around each other all the time and nothing happens.
Andy: yeah cause Delia is in the room. (he starts to walk out of the room) this conversation is over!
Ephram: what if we just go to Mama Joy's? (he fallows him out of the kitchen and into the living room)
Andy: No!
Ephram: so-so...so now we aren't even aloud to be alone together, is that what you are saying, no dates? No nothing?!
Andy: Ephram that is not what I am saying
Ephram: Oh yes it is! You said we can't even study at Mama Joy's, a PUBLIC place!
Andy: I'm sorry I guess I just spoke too soon, you can study at Mama Joy's tonight, but I want you to come straight home afterwards.
Ephram: thanks dad, you are really proving to me that you were NEVER young! (he runs up stairs)
He picked up the phone to call Madison.
Madison: hello?
Ephram: hey
Madison: (happily) hey! What's up?
Ephram: My dad totally freaked about us studying tonight. (he says angrily)
Madison: so...what's gonna happen? (she says worried)
Ephram: well we can study at Mama Joy's tonight, really not what I was planning on.
Madison: I guess that's ok, I mean, at least he wont be there watching our every move.
Ephram: I just don't get it, he is always saying how he understands and how he is totally ok with us, and then he says we can't be alone together, what is that about?!
Madison: Imagine if it was Delia with an older guy, you wouldn't want her anywhere alone with him.
Ephram: yeah but that's totally different!
Madison: how? (waiting for a reply)
Ephram: Well for one, that will never happen, and she is my sister not my daughter!
Madison: (laughing) so then wouldn't you think it would be even worse if it was your daughter?
Ephram: (catching on now) I guess, but still he let us be alone before, why is he starting this stupid worrying dad act now?
Madison: dads are smarter than you think, he saw we were getting close, I guess it scared him.
Ephram: Well he can't control me, or what I do
Madison: Ephram, let's just go to Mama Joy's and have fun tonight, we will talk about it there. I have to go finish a paper. Pick you up at 6.
Ephram: ok, see you then. (he hung up, a little happier knowing he would see her in a couple hours)
Andy: (yelling upstairs) Ephram! Bright is here to see you!
Ephram went down the stairs hoping Bright wouldn't want him to go to some party.
Bright: hey man!
Ephram: hey, what's up?
Bright: Just coming to see what you were up to.
Ephram: nothing just studying.
Bright: good, you aren't busy
Ephram: I- (about to stop him but decided to hear him out)
Bright: I have this really hot date tonight, but the girl wanted to double, she needs a guy for her friend. What d'ya think?
Ephram: Bright I don't know how many times I have to tell you, I AM DATING MADISON
Bright: So? This is just a date, no biggy
Ephram: I can't anyway, we are going out tonight
Bright: Oh common man! You are never free anymore, always with that girl.
Ephram: Yes they call it a relationship, you should try it. (reaches for the door) well if you'll excuse me I have to get back to studying.
Bright: Fine, I guess I'll just find someone else, there are plenty of better looking guys anyways!
Ephram: bye (he closes the door and sighs, relieved he got out of it)
An hour passed and Ephram could hardly wait any longer. He stared at the clock watching the second hand go around and around.
They started making out on the couch. This time when Ephram ran his hand up Madison's shirt she said nothing.
