Madison looked at him and smiled as she parked in front of the Italian/Chinese restaurant.
Ephram: Italianese...just what I was in the mood for
They laughed as they walked into the restaurant. They were sitting at a booth by the window, across from on another, but still holding hands. The waiter came with their drinks and stared at the couple curiously as he put the drinks on the table.
Madison: (looked at him) can I help you?
Waiter: What? Oh sorry...just, uh...I'll be right back with your drinks
Ephram: You just brought our drinks
Waiter: Oh yeah-uh...sorry...can I take your order?
Madison: Already did that too
Waiter: Oh, um...ok, well I'll bring your food as soon as I can
Madison: You do that
The waiter walked away and left Madison and Ephram laughing.
Jay and Steve pulled up in front of the restaurant.
Jay: You've got to be kidding me?
Steve: What? I already told you we were eating here
Jay: No...not that (he motioned towards Madison's red bug) that!
Steve: Please don't say "punch buggie" that's so 3rd grade!
Jay: No...that's Madison's car!
Steve: Oh...how the hell was I supposed to know?!
Jay: I don't know
Steve: Well we're still eating here
Jay: Why? There are plenty of other places!
Steve: We haven't been here in forever! C'mon, she might not even be here, she could have just parked here.
Steve parked next to Madison's car. They got out and walked in, Jay looked around and saw Madison's blonde hair...then he noticed Ephram and he turned red with anger. He walked straight over there, leaving Steve, who was trying to flirt with the hostess. He stood at the end of their table. Madison and Ephram looked up just as Jay picked up Ephram's drink and spit in it, he whipped his mouth as he put the drink down and walked away.
Madison: (yelled back at Jay) I'm glad you're taking the high road Jay! (sarcastically)
She looked around and noticed people were staring, so she looked back at Ephram apologetically.
Madison: Here (handing him her drink) have mine
Ephram: No, it's ok...not really thirsty anymore
Madison: (smiled) sorry...(she looked back at Jay who was sitting at a table with his back to them) I'll be right back
Madison grabbed Ephram's drink and stood up.
Ephram: (grabbing Madison's hand to stop her) Madison? What are you doing?
Madison: Something I've been wanting to do for a while (she started to walk towards Jay)
Ephram: (getting up to follow her) Madison, this is just gonna make it worse
Madison: Ephram...we can't just do nothing
Ephram stopped for a second to think, then motioned for her to continue. She walked up next to Jay and poured the drink in his lap. Jay raised his hands in astonishment and anger.
Jay: What the Fuck?!?!?
Madison just smiled and walked back to the table with Ephram. Jay got up and threw his chair on the ground, everyone was staring. He walked over to Madison and Ephram's table.
Jay: So kid? Getting your baby-sitter to fight your battles for you? Very manly!
Ephram: Hey, if she wants to...but I don't think I'm the one in need of a baby-sitter here, I didn't wet my pants
Jay: (looked at Madison, then back to Ephram) You think this is funny?!
Ephram: (smiled) yeah...I do
Jay looked at Madison like he was about to hit her, Ephram saw this and immediately stood up and got in between them.
Jay: Decided to grow some balls?
Ephram: Walk away Jay
Jay: No thanks
Ephram: (pushed Jay away) just get out of here
Everyone in the restaurant was watching them, some were ready to jump in and break up the imminent fight.
Jay: You did not just do that (laughing)
Ephram: (looked back at Madison and put his hand out for her to grab) let's go
Madison grabbed his hand and they started to walk towards the door. Ephram felt a hand grab his arm and turn him around, as soon as he did he felt a fist in his face. He let go of Madison's hand and bent over in pain, his nose was bleeding. Madison immediately bent over with him and rubbed his back.
Madison: Oh my god, Ephram...(she looked up) somebody get some napkins!
She looked at Jay, he was being held back by Steve and some of the other customers. People were gathered all around them. Someone handed Madison some napkins and she held them up to Ephram's nose. He slowly stood up.
Madison: You ok?
Ephram: Yeah...perfect (sarcastically)
Madison gave Jay, who was still being held back, a dirty look, then she put her arm around Ephram and helped him out of the restaurant to her car. The car ride was silent, when they finally got to the Brown house, Madison helped Ephram out of the car and to the door. She opened it with her key and let Ephram walk in before her. He walked to the couch and sat down, nose still bleeding.
Madison: I'll go get you some more napkins
She walked to the kitchen and grabbed some paper towels and an ice pack. She walked back into the living room and sat next to him.
Madison: Here...
She carefully took the used napkin away from his nose and looked at the damage. She cringed when she saw what used to be his nose. It was now something big and purple that semi-resembled a nose.
She wiped off his face with the clean paper towels and handed him the ice pack.
Madison: You ok?
Ephram: I'll live
Madison: I'm sorry...this is all my fault, I should have just ignored him
Ephram: No...it actually made my day, the look on his face...I wish I had that kind of guts
Madison: But I'm the reason you're nose looks like a plum...and don't tell me you don't have guts, if I remember correctly you stood up to him back there
Ephram: Well I saw his face...he looked like he was gonna hurt you, I told you I wasn't gonna let him do that...Is it really that bad?
Madison just nodded. Ephram put the ice pack up to his nose and cringed in pain as he touched it.
Ephram: Italianese...just what I was in the mood for
They laughed as they walked into the restaurant. They were sitting at a booth by the window, across from on another, but still holding hands. The waiter came with their drinks and stared at the couple curiously as he put the drinks on the table.
