(A/N: we can blame the lackage of updates on this particular fic on the new one that I have been writing. Not sure where to go from here but hopefully you like this chapter at least a little bit. Either way let me know that you read it so give me some reviews!)

"Know how much I love you?" asked Ephram one day to Madison as they were sitting in the kitchen figuring things out to do for the upcoming week since they had some of the same days off together.

Madison brushed her beautiful blond hair from her shoulder as she leaned in closer to Ephram with a smile upon her face, "I have an idea, but why dont you clarify it for me one more time?" and with that, Ephram leaned in closer and the two kissed each other sweetly. When Ephram pulled away, Madison teased, "you're going to have to do a little better than that if you want me to believe you..."

Ephram smiled, stood up and pulled Madison up towards him by her hand. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she put her arms around his neck and he leaned in slowly for an even more passionate kiss, at first teasing her lips with his tongue, then slipping it into her mouth, which made her moan softly. This time when he pulled away, Madison couldnt help but plant little wet kisses all over his face. He then pulled her into a hug, burying his face into her neck as she combed her fingers through his hair.

"I dont know how I would have gotten through that whole Kay thing without you."

"I know" she said simply with a smile upon her face. She pulled away from the hug, "so, what are we going to do with all this time on our hands!" she was excited to have so much time off from work.

Thinking for a second, Ephram thought, "lets go hiking...or rock climbing at that indoor gym not too far from here."

"speaking of rocks, we can go to that Garden of the Gods place that people talk so highly about. Isnt that in or near the Springs? I've been there a couple times but when I was younger, I dont remember any of it"
Ephram smiled, his arms still wrapped around her, "we could make a day of it, or even a couple days."
"We've never done anything like that before, I think it'd be really fun!" she laughed, "lets go now! No planning or packing, lets just hop in the car and go." her eyes lit up.

Ephram was speechless as he was being dragged towards the front door by his hand, all he could do was laugh at the spontaneity of it all. Before he knew it they were in the car and heading towards Colorado Springs, Colorado, a few hours away.

"Madison you're insane!" laughed Ephram as he buckled his seatbelt.

"You know it'll be fun. Plus it will give us time to spend together...alone...with nobody to bother us..." just then she looked at their cell phones just as Ephram did, so she grabbed them and turned them off and threw them into the backseat, which made Ephram laugh even more, "you've lost your mind!"

"You love me and you know it." she smiled

The two played games the entire way down, and it was almost midnight by the time they found a motel to stay in. Madison, who drove most of the way, was exhausted but happy nevertheless. She jumped onto the bed and sprawled out, making it difficult for Ephram to even find a place to sit on the bed.

"You do realize we only have about $37 dollars..." he said amused.

"we'll rough it, we're tough we can handle it." with that she grabbed Ephram's arm out from under him and he fell on his face into the mattress. The two started wrestling, laughing and having a wonderful time before they figured they should go to bed.

The two laid together on the bed, just holding each other and enjoying the company when Ephram said, "my dad is going to kill me"

"What?! You're 20 years old, Eph, he shouldnt mind." she laughed, "well, speaking of yer pappy, how is he doing?"

"he's good, our relationship is good, only took us a couple years."

The two chatted a little bit more about the relationship with Andy before drifting off to sleep still fully clothed. Then again, its not like they brought any clothes with them on this spontaneous little trip of theirs. Madison couldnt wait to walk around and climb on the rocks tomorrow, she hadnt done that since she was very little and sharing such a great experience with Ephram was going to be so much fun.
