"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.
