Madison slowly leaned down and gently touched her lips to his as she placed a hand on his chest. She thought maybe her sweet gentle kiss would wake him up, but Ephram only stirred, which made her tilt her head and smile. She loved him so much and it was as if she fell in love with him all over again, just gazing at him as he slept, so peaceful, so innocent. She smiled to herself before running her fingers through his hair, then she got an idea to play with his lips. She was playfully pulling on his lips and caressing his face, she whispered, "Ephram, sweetie, wake up" and she kissed him again, which made him seem to wake up. As she pulled back, Ephram shifted his head to one side and opened one eye tiredly as he put a hand up to block the light, "What a wonderful surprise!" he said hoarsely. He smiled and the two just looked at each other, not saying anything until Ephram interrupted the silence, "you know..." he began as he sat up, "I had a dream that involved us, but it was strange...like there was a bubble between us and no matter how hard I tried, I could not get to you to touch you or hold you or kiss you..." he slightly smiled.

"you know..." Madison said as she ran her fingers through his hair once again, "that dream sounds familiar, its called, Your Grandparents..." She pulled him to her and hugged him, whispering, "You are what makes me happy, Ephram, and this past week proved it to me over and over." Ephram pulled away and stroked her hair before leaning in to give her a long, deep passionate kiss, something he'd been aching to do before that stupid test of his grandparents started last week.

"Now that...was a kiss" replied Madison when they broke away, her eyes still closed as she smiled. Ephram proceeded to kiss her neck, then her collarbone, which made Madison let out a slight moan of pleasure, she's wanted Ephram to touch her and kiss her like this for as long as she could remember. He helped her out of her jacket and helped her unbutton her blouse and shed it to the floor, she had only her tanktop on now, which made her look just as beautiful. She shed her pants then straddled Ephram's lap, where he proceeded to kiss her chest as she whispered, "I want this Ephram...I want you" then she hungrily kissed him as he lay backwards on the bed, still kissing Madison. He managed to throw the sheets over the two of them, then he rolled over and was now on top of her, their kiss never broken as he wrapped an arm around her waist to bring her up as close to him as he could. He wanted her, but at the same time he wanted this moment between them to last since it had been a few years since they last felt each other's touch and he wanted to make love to her as if it were the first time for the both of them. He wanted it to be special for her since she was so special to him. As he kissed her neck, he faintly traced his fingers against her bare skin, making her shiver, "are you okay?" he whispered.

Madison breathlessly whispered back, "yes, now that I'm with you" and with that, Ephram slowly entered her, a pleasureable feeling for the both of them, one the both of them had been aching for. Madison let out a slight moan as she caressed the back of his neck and ran her fingers through his hair, kissing him still.

The two were now free as they moved together as one, coming together as one. Afterwards, Ephram collapsed beside her, holding her still, not ever wanting to let go, for she was the one he has always wanted and needed. They fell asleep in each other's arms, nothing could ruin this special moment.

The next morning, Madison awoke to Ephram whispering in her ear, "I love you..." when he saw her eyes open, he smiled and said, "how'd you sleep?"

"Last night was wonderful, Ephram..." she said softly kissing him, "you made it special."

"You're special and you deserve everything..."

She smiled, "I have to work today..."
"are you kidding?" Ephram asked, sounding disappointed.

She nodded and chuckled, "very much so. I couldnt leave you even if I tried."

"Good answer..." he pursed his lips as he touched her face, "hey, we should go to that carnival today. I just want to be with you, I dont care what we do or where we go."

Just then, Bright's voice could be heard in the hallway talking to one of Ephram's roommates, then he barely knocked on Ephram's bedroom door before he walked in happily, "get up, E-dawg" then he did a double take, "oh, uh, nice to...uhm, nice to see you this morning Madison..." he blinked a dozen times then remembered why he was there, "oh right, nevermind" then walked back out of the bedroom.

Ephram laughed amusingly, "BRIGHT!" he yelled, "get back here!"

"I completely forgot that you were with Madison, forget it, I was just going to have you be my wingman for a lunch date that I got today..."
"How can you forget that I'm with Madison?!" asked Ephram shocked.

Bright's head appeared in the doorway, "hello?! When do I ever remember that stuff, I just forgot that you two were now 'more than friends', if you get my drift." he left again and didnt come back.

"he is such a weird kid..." replied Madison as she got dressed for the day.

The two decided to go eat lunch at their favorite restaurant, the one where they used to meet each other for their double dates. They were laughing and joking and having a good time until they saw heard, then saw, a very disgruntled Troy. He had been sitting at the bar since it opened a couple hours ago.
"Oh no..." breathed Madison, "we should go before he sees us, he's not pleasant to be around when he's been drinking..."

But before they could leave, Troyspotted them and yelled to them and then followed them outside, which sort of freaked Madison out. As they got outside, Troy's plump hand landed on Ephram's shoulder, stopping him from going anywhere. Ephram had never noticed how tall Troy was until now, and it sort of scared him since Troy wasnt a good guy when he was drunk. Troy glared at Ephram and squeezed a fist. Madison didnt know what to do, she obviously didnt want Ephram to get beaten up, and she wanted Troy to leave, but, how?

Troy raised his hand, then Madison said softly, "Troy..." which made him turn his head slowly towards her...
