The next morning the two decided to grab a quick something for breakfast before heading out for the day to climb/walk on the rocks. Madison couldnt help but jump up and down as they got to the visiter's center where they picked up a map describing each different trail. Ephram was sort of standing behind her and looking over his shoulder looking at the map when he pointed out, "lets take one of the half mile trails."
"You must be kidding, right?" Madison asked amused as she turned her head towards him and smiled. He took the opportunity and stole a kiss from her. Without looking away, Madison replied, "what do you think of the trail that is three miles long...250 feet rise, not too bad." she smiled as Ephram just looked at her.
"I dont think I have a choice in this matter, do I? Seeing how you kidnapped me last night"
Laughing, Madison replied, "I did no such thing, Mr. Brown!"
Ephram looked towards the sky, "do we happen to know the weather for today? I mean, the sun is rather bright and hot."
"It normally is, Ephram, it normally is" she couldnt help but be sarcastic before she kissed him again then pulled on his hand to get him started, "this is absolutely amazing!" she cried as she looked around at the beautiful landscape, "I'm so glad we did this!"
What they didnt realize was that it was supposed to get very humid by noon, and it was already 10:30am, but as the weatherman predicted, there would be some afternoon rain showers.
As they were
climbing steadily up the path of the trail they picked, it started
getting a bit warmer than either of the two had planned, and it wasnt
helping matters since Ephram was complaining the whole time. After a
while Madison decided to pull her hair back in a ponytail and roll up
the sleeves of her shirt. She even went as far as rolling up her
shirt so her stomach could get some air. Ephram laughed at this,
"you really should put your shirt down otherwise I wont be able
to go any farther with you lookin' all sexy!"
"Whatever,
Ephram." she chuckled as she climbed, "I'm hot, I'm
glistening with sweat, even my hair is sweating, oh, and you're
complaining which doesnt help the matters."
There was a big boulder just ahead of them so Ephram jogged up ahead to check it out. He couldnt help but stare at Madison as she made her way up the path, "what are you looking at?" she asked almost out of breath.
"How hot you
are" just then he couldnt help but grab her and pull her behind
the huge boulder where he pinned her against it and kissed her
passionately. When he pulled away, Madison was speechless, she
definitely wasnt expecting this, so Ephram said, "I cant stop
looking at you because you are incredibly beautiful."
"You
must be joking, right!" she laughed, but then Ephram muffled
her laughter with another kiss. Then he started giving little
kisses, down her neck then on her collarbone, all the while his hand
rubbing her back gently. Madison was in ecstacy, but had to protest
since they were in a public place in broad daylight where somebody
could walk by any minute. She breathlessly said, "we can't do
this...oh, my god." Ephram kissed her again, this time even
more deeply than the first time. Madison combed her fingers through
his hair, wanting him, but at the same time trying to stop herself.
"Stop..." she said breathlessly as her eyes were closed, "stop before I lose my will to protest, Ephram and I give in."
Ephram paused and smiled at her, "we wouldnt want that, now would we" and he leaned in and kissed her slowly, this time even more sensual than the last kisses. He stopped and just stood there with his forehead against hers, "you're right, this is fun"
Just as they pulled
away from each other and were heading back onto the trail, a group of
seven people came walking by. Ephram couldnt help but smirk as he
saw in the corner of his eye, Madison placing her hand on her
forehead.
When the people were out of sight, the two decided to
walk the trail again. Madison smacked Ephram's butt as she made her
way in front of him, "you're not so bad yourself hot-stuff"
"I can take off my shirt if it will help you get through the day" he joked
"Now see, I wouldn't mind" she laughed, "but the rest of the people here would because you're just so white, you might blind 'em."
"That's not true!" laughed Ephram as he jogged to catch up to her. He put his arm around her and the two walked the rest of the path enjoying each other's company, laughing and joking with each other.
After they got a bite to eat for lunch they headed back to the hotel where Madison decided to take a shower before the two headed back to reality. While she was in the shower, Ephram couldnt help but think how great his life was. He could walk without getting tired or having a leg give out like it used to, and he has the love of his life in the next room. Granted his ex-girlfriend Kay was still in a coma from that drug overdose, but he realized there was nothing he could do so he just went on with his life.
Several minutes
later Madison came out of the shower all fresh and clean. Ephram
couldnt help but walk up to her and take her in his arms and kiss her
sweetly. Her wet hair dripping on the tank top she was wearing.
When he pulled away from the kiss, she asked with a smile, "what
was that for?"
"Just for putting up with me" he
smiled.
The two finally set off to head back home just as it started to rain. They had a really good day and nothing could bring them down.
