~~Madison: I'm meeting... (she looks down)... Jay~~
Ephram: Wait a second...you're gonna actually see him? In person? I'm sorry I thought your exact words were to "leave it alone." (angry)
Madison: Ephram...don't be mad, he called me, he said he wanted to talk...I have to talk to him sometime.
Ephram: Well what are phones for? I have no problem with you talking on the phone.
Madison: He said he wanted to talk face to face, I don't know...what was I supposed to do?
Ephram: "No" sounds like a good answer to me.
Madison: (putting her arms around his neck) Nothing is gonna happen...I love you-not Jay.
Ephram: (looking away then back at her) I just...don't trust the guy, and him wanting you back doesn't help.
Madison: I am just gonna tell him I am with someone else, that's it.
Ephram: What if he gets mad? What if-What if he freaks?
Madison: I can handle him...
Ephram: So you can handle him but I can't take him?
Madison: (smiling) Ephram...
Ephram: What? I am just simply repeating your words.
Madison: (kisses him) don't worry, I'll call you when I'm finished.
Ephram: Fine...but if he tries anything...or makes some kind of move-
Madison: He won't
Ephram: How do you-
Madison: Listen, if he tries anything...I'll leave...
Ephram: You'll push him away first?
Madison: Yes...he has no chance, these lips (she kisses him) are yours.
Ephram: (kisses her) as long as that's clear.
Madison: (kisses him) Ok...now I have to go, remember the pasta's in the fridge and-
Ephram: and I'll need to warm it up...yeah
Madison: Ok...don't worry...bye (she kisses him and goes out the door)
Madison drove to the pizza place where she was meeting Jay. When she walked in and saw him sitting in the far corner.
Madison: (walking up and sitting across from him) So what's this about?
Jay: (grabbing her hand) Maddy...I missed you. (she pulled her hand out from under his) What? What's wrong? (surprised she was rejecting him)
Madison: I can't believe you (shaking her head in disbelief) You dump me because you think I like someone else and now you think I will just crawl back to you...like I was waiting?
Jay: Well...yeah
Madison: Sorry Jay...you missed your chance, I found someone... and I'm really happy.
Jay: (surprised and angered) someone? Who?
Madison: you ...don' t know him
Jay: Just give me a name...
Madison: Why? So you can track him down? I don't think so...listen...you let me go, I got over it...now it's your turn. (she starts to get up)
Jay: Wait (Madison stops) Is it that piano kid?! That kid who said I had a problem?!
Madison: (looked at him for a long time) ...no...it's not him, now if you'll excuse me. (she started to get up again)
Jay: I can't believe this! (Madison thought Jay might have noticed her flared nostrils) You were supposed to come back, you were supposed to want me back!
Madison: Jay...if you keep thinking like that...you are gonna end up alone, get over yourself and grow up. (she walks out of the restaurant leaving him alone)
Madison got in her car. She decided to go back to Ephram's, he probably needed help warming up the food. She got there and parked, when she was walking to the door she heard a car stop and someone get out behind her. She looked back...it was Jay.
Madison: What the hell are you doing?!
Jay: I was gonna ask you the same thing?!
Madison: You followed me?! Who the hell do you think you are?!
Jay: Why did you come here?! For that kid?
Madison: I don't know Jay, maybe because I work here...
Jay: I didn't know you were paid for 24/7 service?!
Madison: Jay, it's 6 o'clock!
Jay: (looking at his watch) Oh...
Madison: Why the hell were you following me?!?
Jay didn't answer, he just looked down.
Madison: You wanted to see who it was! You wanted to see who I was with so you could hurt him!
Jay: No! I just-
Madison: Just what?!
Jay: I just couldn't leave without...without doing this (he walked up to her and kissed her)
Madison was startled, she pushed him away and slapped him.
Madison: (backing away) What the hell are you doing?!? Did you hear a word that I said?!
Jay: Sorry...I just thought-
Madison: Thought what?! That I would suddenly change my mind?! That your kiss would somehow change everything?! Sorry to disappoint you, but this isn't the movies!
The front door opened and Delia stuck her head out.
Delia: Madison? Are you ok?
Madison: Yeah sweety...I'll be right there. (she turned back to Jay)
Delia closed the door and reported back to Ephram who had sent her out there.
Delia: They were just yelling
Ephram: About what?
Delia: I dunno (obviously not interested)
Ephram: Thanks...you're a big help (sarcastically)
Delia: Why don't you just go out there yourself?
Ephram: Because...that would be too obvious
Delia: Obvious?
Ephram: yeah...just...nevermind, you can go back to watching TV.
Back outside.
Madison: you should go...
Jay: I'm not giving up...
Madison: Well you should
Jay: It's not that easy.
Madison: It is for me (she turned around and walked into the house, again leaving Jay alone)
Madison walked into the house and saw Delia watching TV, she found Ephram pacing back and forth in the kitchen.
Madison: Hey
Ephram: (stopping) So...what happened?
Madison: Nothing
Ephram: Nothing?
Madison: He tried to kiss me, but I slapped him.
Ephram: (mad) he tried to kiss you?!
Madison: Ephram...I didn't let him.
Ephram: Still...I knew it, I knew he would try something (pacing again)
Madison: (walking up to Ephram and stopping him) I didn't let him...don't you remember? ...my lips are yours.
Ephram: But- (she shut him up with a kiss)
Madison: But nothing, I told him I was taken, I told him to give up, that's that. (Madison wasn't going to tell Ephram that Jay wasn't giving up, he was already mad enough)
Ephram: So...he isn't gonna want to "meet" you anymore?
Madison: Even if he does, I won't go.
Ephram: Good...I can't take another night of worrying.
Madison: You don't have to worry, you can trust me...
Ephram: I do...I trust you...I just don't trust other guys, have you looked at you?
Madison: (kisses him) So I take it you haven't eaten?
Ephram: you know me too well
Madison: I'll make some sandwiches or something, but then I should go...I have a paper due in the morning.
Ephram: (kisses her) I guess I'll just watch some Sponge Bob with Delia
He left the room. Madison came into the family room a few minutes later with some sandwiches.
Madison: (Putting the sandwiches on the table in front of them) Ok, so Ephram...Delia should be in bed by 8:30, your dad should be home around 9.
Ephram: (getting up from the couch) I think I can handle it
Madison: ok well, I guess I'm gonna go (she kisses him) see you tomorrow. (she leaves)
When Madison got home there were roses on her doorstep. At first she thought they were from Ephram, so she picked them up happily, then she read the card.
Dear Madison,
I told you I wasn't giving up
Love,
Jay
Madison dropped the flowers on the ground, in disgust.
The next day Madison was walking up to the Brown's house when she heard a car park and someone running towards her.
Jay: Madison!
Madison: (recognizing the voice and not turning around) What do you want?
Jay: (now at her side) Did you get my flowers?
Madison: I know what you're trying to do and I'm telling you right now...it isn't going to work.
Jay: I'm not letting you go this time.
Madison: You know in some states, this is considered stalking?
Jay: I know you still care about me.
Madison: (getting to the door and turning her key) What tipped you off? My flat out rejection or my flat out rejection?
Jay: Madis-
She closed the door on him.
Jay just wouldn't give up, she thought. She walked into the kitchen.
Back outside Jay slowly turned around and started to walk towards his car, on the way he met Ephram who had just parked.
Ephram: (getting out of his car a little mad) Can I help you?!
Jay: Hey kid, how was school today? Learn the ABC's?
Ephram: Good one (he started to walk past Jay to his house but Jay stepped in front of him)...I don't wanna fight you. (he wanted to show Madison he could fight Jay, but he also didn't want to get crushed)
Jay: Why? Would daddy get mad?!
Ephram: Yeah, probably. (He started to walk away again but Jay stuck out his hand stopping him)
Jay: Don't be such a chicken.
Ephram: Why do you wanna fight me anyway? Rejection make you mad?
Jay: What the hell are you talking about?!
Ephram: Oh c'mon man...it's obvious, you want Madison and she doesn't want you. (he again starts to walk away and is again stopped)
Jay: Did she tell you that?! (turning red with anger and embarrassment)
Ephram: (pauses for a second to think of his answer) Well I figured...I mean you are here and she is there.
Jay: For your information I was just dropping her off, we had lunch.
Ephram: (worried) Ok then...if there's nothing else (he starts to walk to the house, expecting to be stopped, Jay just stands there, so Ephram continues)
Ephram got in the house and slammed the door. He walked in the kitchen expecting to find Madison and he did.
Ephram: I just ran into Jay outside.
Madison: Did anything happen? (worried)
Ephram: No, but I heard you had a nice lunch. (mad)
Madison: Lunch? Ephram what are you talking about?
Ephram: He said you went to lunch with him! He said he was just dropping you off.
Madison: What? I didn't go out with him! I don't know why he said that.
Ephram: Then what was he doing here? (still ticked)
Madison: I don't know I was walking in and he came up to me, I just told him he had no chance and I walked in the house.
Ephram: So nothing happened?
Madison: No...of course not. (she walked up to him and grabbed his hand) I have no feelings for Jay, nothing is going to happen...that doesn't mean he is gonna give up, but I promise you nothing will happen.
Ephram: So I'm just supposed to sit here and let him try to flatter you with his so-called charm?
Madison: Yeah...like you said, he can try, but that doesn't mean he is getting anywhere.
Ephram: Do you think he's hot?!
Madison: What? Ephram what does that have to do wi-
Ephram: Do you?
Madison: He's not bad looking (Ephram looks away) but he's nothing compared to you.
Ephram: (looking back at her) really?
Madison: No question (she kissed him) now can we please drop this...I don't wanna talk anymore.
Ephram: then what do you wanna do?
Madison: this (she kisses him passionately)
Ephram: I think I can do that. (they kiss again)
