"Shut up
already!" yelled Bright to Ephram as they were sitting on the
couch a couple days later, "you irriate the shit out of me,
bro! If you're not complaining about something then its always
Madison! And to think, it was the same when you two broke up the
first time, but the difference with this is that you are not broken
up, just shut uuup!" and he threw a pillow at Ephram who just
sighed and slouched in his seat.
"Let's talk about Amy then"
he said trying to change the subject
"I'd actually
rather not, thanks though."
"How is she doing, have
you spoken to her or anything?"
"Dude, what's the
sudden interest in my sister?"
"There's no sudden interest there, Bright" snapped Ephram, "just something to talk about I guess." he thought for a second, "you know...she never did come visit me while I was in the hospital."
"I told her not to"
"Did you really?" Ephram asked interestedly
"No, bro, do you really think she would have listend to me anyway?" Bright ate some chips then asked, "why are we talking about my sister? Is this about the whole Kay situation?"
Surprised, Ephram said, "When did you get so smart all of a sudden? Or am I just that obvious?" he sighed, "I guess because Kay is doing....hmm...not so good, then it's making me realize that I should start talking to my old friends again."
"Dude...you havent spoken to my sister in over two years so forgive me if I'm taken aback by the whole thing of talking about her."
"No, forget
it" replied Ephram neutrally, "So, Madison's coming home
in a couple hours."
"really? I never woulda figured
that out" replied Bright sarcastically. They went back to
watching the TV. After a while Bright asked, "Do you think
that you'd be with my sister if Madison wasn't in the
picture?"
"Where'd that come from? I thought we were
done talking about your sister?"
"Just answer the question, bro."
"Who knows...I mean, everything between your sister and I were always so complicated, I dont know man." he paused for a second and smiled when he thought of Madison, "But Madison...She's my world, she's definitely got my heart." he seemed to choke up just thinking about how happy he was with her.
Hours went by before Madison came home. She stopped by the grocery store to pick up a couple things, and that candle that brought back the memories was one of those things. She wanted to see if it did the same thing to Ephram as it did to her so she couldnt wait until she got home.
When she arrived, they embraced eagerly and were very excited to see each other. "I missed you so much!" Ephram said before pulling away from the hug.
"I was gone
two days, it couldnt have been that bad."
"Bright
kicked me out of his apartment because I was complaining too much."
"no way!"
laughed Madison, "Well, at least I had that CD you gave me to
keep me company. I had never heard that song by Lionel Richie, "In
My Dreams", I couldnt stop
crying!" She pulled out the candle from her bag, "Oh, oh,
before I forget, smell this and tell me what comes to mind..."
Ephram
slowly took it but asked before he smelled it, "does this have
anything to do with that song you asked me to listen to that made me
freak out?"
Madison
thought for a moment, "I dont think it will have that same
effect, but it's something long those lines."
"I'm
scared now." Ephram said jokingly. He smelled the scented
candle and at that moment was taken to a place in his past then
rushed back just as quickly, which almost made him drop the candle.
"I did the exact same thing!"
"When I first told you I loved you..." he said slowly as he looked at her, "that's amazing..."
Madison
couldnt help but pull him to her and embrace him in another hug,
"thanks for the new memories, Ephram." she pulled away
and the two looked at each other before kissing each other deeply,
passionately. Again, Madison teased Ephram with her tongue. When
they broke away, it was a kiss that seemed to linger and Ephram just
had to kiss her again.
"So what are you doing tomorrow?"
Madison asked
"spending time with you, I hope" Ephram said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled at her.
(A/N; granted, this chapter is shorter than the others, but I figured since I'm writing two then it evens out. Hopefully I dont take so long with the next chapters next time! You know what to do, thanks muchly!!)
