"Do you y'all have any ice-cream?" asked Lilly as she went into the kitchen to find snacks for the movie.
"Yeah, it's in the freezer," said Ephram who was fixing up their seats for the movie.
"Oh okay, I found it," said Lilly as she pulled out the ice-cream. She got three bowls for them to eat out of and spooned the ice-cream in.
"I can't believe I'm going to watch a Hillary Duff movie. I think the world is coming to an end," said Ephram as he got out a big blanket.
"It's not that bad. And you will not complain. The minute you complain I will eat all of your ice-cream and I will break your piano," said Lilly as Delia walked in.
"Is the movie ready?" said Delia. She had ran to get her pajamas on and had her hair ready to be put up, Lilly said she would braid it for her.
"Not yet sweetie. Did you get a brush?" said Lilly while putting up the ice-cream.
"Yes, do you like it? I got it at Claire's," Delia held up a cute brush in the shape of a purse.
"Oh that is so cute! How do you brush with it?" asked Lilly taking it from her.
"You hold the purse handle and brush."
"That is so neat. I want one," she said over to Ephram and he laughed.
They took their ice-cream and went to sit on the couch. Lilly sat in between Ephram and Delia. Ephram wrapped his arms around Lilly's waist and occasionally kissed her neck. Ephram actually enjoyed the movie, mostly because of who he was watching it with though. When the movie was over they all made their way to bed. Ephram first showed Lilly around her room.
"Hey, this will be the first night in like two weeks were we don't sleep in the same room. I'll miss you," Lilly said as Ephram left the room.
"I'll miss you too, but you know I'm only down the hall and you could get lost going to the bathroom and end up in my room," said Ephram with a sly smile.
"I'll think about it okay?" said Lilly as Ephram leaned in and kissed her. "Good night, Ephram,"
"Good night," he kissed her nose and went to his room.
Ephram woke to a telephone ring. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was five in the morning. Ephram cursed under his breathe and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hello, may I speak to Lilly please?" said an older woman's voice.
"Yes, who is this?" Ephram puzzled.
"This is her mother, how are you Ephram?" she said.
"I'm fine, let me get Lilly for you," Ephram stumbled out of bed and went to find Lilly. She was asleep still and he hated to wake her. "Can you call back later? She is still asleep,"
"What is she doing asleep at this hour? She should be awake,"
"It's five in the morning," groaned Ephram.
"Oh, I forgot about time zones. Well I'll call later, but I just haven't heard from her yet and I miss her so much. I was really hoping to talk to her," she sighed.
Ephram sighed and decided to wake Lilly up. Her mother sounded near to tears. "Hold on a second, I'll get her," Ephram walked over to her bed and slowly nudged her. She groaned and rolled over.
"What?" she said angrily.
"Your mom is on the phone, she wants to talk to you," said Ephram.
Lilly grabbed the phone and Ephram left the room. He went back to his room to see if he could sleep, but he couldn't. He got back up and went down to the kitchen to see if they had any food. He gave up looking and went to sit on the couch. He turned on a movie, Meet Me in St. Louis, that Lilly had brought. Ephram had found himself liking things he never thought he would after he met Lilly. He never thought he would watch an old movie and enjoy it. He found himself singing along to the songs and smiling when John Truit, the next door neighbor, kissed Ester, Judy Garland.
Lilly made her way down stairs and sat next to Ephram. They watched the movie together in silence, and when it was over Lilly went to make breakfast. When she got up she was surprised to see a blonde woman standing there making it for her.
"I love that movie. Hi I'm Nina, the neighbor," said Nina.
"Hi, I'm Lilly, the girlfriend," Lilly laughed nervously. She wasn't used to people coming in without knocking.
"Hi, are you the one with great taste in movies," she said as she got fresh bread out of her bag.
"Yeah, I love that movie it is so sweet. My favorite sister would have to be Tootie," said Lilly starting to help Nina unload the bag.
"Oh, no contest, but who is your favorite boyfriend, Warren or John?" asked Nina. She loved having a woman to talk to. Even though Lilly wasn't a woman, she was still more female then Andy.
"John, even though I loved Warren's proposal," laughed Lilly.
Nina and Lilly finished breakfast together and woke the rest of the family. Nina woke Sam and they all ate together.
"What did your mom say?" asked Ephram while they ate.
Lilly got a little quiet. "Well, I told her about how much I love it and she hates Georgia, so she is coming to visit,"
"Really? I finally get meet your mom," said Ephram. He got a little nervous, he knew her mom would be hard to please. From what Lilly told him, he was not as impressive as all of her other boyfriends. She would never say that, but he knew it. One boyfriend had a full scholarship to Yale and another joined the Peace Corp recently.
"It'll be okay, she will love you," said Lilly sensing his tension. "And don't worry Dr. Brown, she is staying in a hotel,"
"Well I'm glad I'll get to meet your mom, this will be great. When will she be here?" asked Andy.
"In two days," she said.
"Wow, that's soon," said Nina.
"That's Mom," said Lilly.
After they all finished their breakfast, Ephram and Lilly went shopping. Lilly couldn't wait to scope out the local music stores. They went in and Lilly found two CDs that she liked and bought them. They also found a small clothing store and went in for a look. Ephram was bored off his feat, but he stayed and didn't complain, because Lilly was having fun.
After she bought some clothes, they went back home. On the way home, Ephram caught sight of what he thought was Madison.
"Can you hold on a second?" he said to Lilly. He wanted to say hello to Madison, he knew that she would be happy that he was back, and he was over her now. He wanted to be friends.
"Hey, long time no see!" said Ephram as he taped on her shoulder.
Madison turned around to see Ephram. She knew he was back and she was glad to see him, but yet she didn't want to see him. It would have made what was going on so much easier. "Hey Ephram," she said unhappily. She tried to hide it, but she couldn't, she was so unhappy.
"Madison, what's wrong?" said Ephram seeing her discontent.
"Nothing's wrong, why would you say that?" said Madison putting on a fake smile.
Ephram's heart hurt to look at her. She was so sad about something, he hated that she wouldn't say what. "Something is wrong, just tell me. I know you, you can't hide,"
Madison exhaled sharply. She wanted to tell him so badly. It would make it so much easier, to have someone to go through this with. "I need to go. Nice to see you again Ephram," Madison left and Ephram walked back over to Lilly, who had been watching from where she was originally.
"Was that Madison?" she asked, kind of hurt. She didn't want Ephram not to have any friends, but why her? She was so beautiful, she could never compete with her.
"Yeah, Something is wrong with her, I think she is upset about something. Whatever it is, she won' tell me," Ephram said. He was angry, he thought she would tell him, they used to be friends. Relationships messed everything up, he thought ironically while he put his arm around Lilly's shoulder.
They walked home together in silence. Lilly started to think about sex with Ephram. She always wanted to wait, but she knew Madison and Ephram slept together. He could go back to Madison if he wanted to sleep with someone, since she wouldn't. Did she want a boyfriend that would leave her to sleep with someone, or pressure her to sleep with him. She was so afraid to loose him, he was the best boyfriend she had ever had. The other guys she dated were not like Ephram, they would ignore her in public, and they would always stare at other girls. Ephram seemed to be proud of her, and he would show her off whenever possible. He never really looked at other girls, which made her feel special, like all he wanted was her. She had to make her decision, would she sleep with Ephram, and if so when?
When they got home Andy and Delia were on the couch watching A Walk to Remember. Lilly joined them, but Ephram went to bed. He sat on his bed thinking and finally he fell asleep. He had a dream that Lilly and him were walking down the beach hand in hand. At the end of the beach was Madison, and she was pregnant.
"Yeah, it's in the freezer," said Ephram who was fixing up their seats for the movie.
"Oh okay, I found it," said Lilly as she pulled out the ice-cream. She got three bowls for them to eat out of and spooned the ice-cream in.
