"So let me guess, Amy scared Madison off?"
"Something like that," Ephram said, smiling at Amy. Ever since he had decided to start something with Amy, he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He didn't ever want her getting away from him again.
"You should have seen her dad," Delia added.
"I'm sure I missed a big show," Andy said, glaring at Ephram.
"Dad, what are we having for supper," asked Ephram, changing the subject.
"I was thinking of ordering pizza. Amy, are you staying for supper?"
"Can she," Ephram asked? He really wanted to spend more time with her.
"Sure." Andy replied, "She is always welcome."
"I'll have to call my parents and tell them," Amy said. Amy went into the living room and called her parents. She was hoping that they wouldn't mind her staying there for dinner.
~Back in the kitchen ~
"So are you two an item now," Andy asked?
"Yea, things are finally working out," Ephram said.
"So you're over Madison?"
"As over her as I'll ever be."
"I'm just glad that you're happy with someone like Amy." Amy came in interrupting their talk.
"So what were you talking about? You two looked like you were in deep thought."
"Just discussing what kind of pizza to order," Andy replied. Never knew one could be so consumed in whether to put pepperoni on a pizza or not."
"We are very serious about our pizza," Ephram replied.
"Do you think your dad could handle the pizza and we could go finish our movie?"
"That can be arranged," Ephram said smiling. He put his arm around her and they went back into the living room.
Ephram and Amy cuddled up on the couch, Amy's head on Ephram's lap. Ephram softly stroked her long hair. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. He could smell the faint sweet scent of perfume lingering on her skin.
Amy felt so comfortable there with Ephram. She loved the feeling of his hand stroking her hair. It put her in a daze, tuning out the world.
"Pizza's here!" Andy yelled from the kitchen. Ephram got up than helped Amy to her feet. Amy didn't want to get up, but her stomach told her otherwise. They headed into the kitchen, ready to down some pizza.
"I couldn't decide on what size to get so I got an extra large," Andy said.
"That is a lot of pizza," Delia said, coming into the kitchen.
"I could eat like five pieces," Ephram said.
"Sure you can," Amy said laughing.
The foursome sat at the table and finished off nearly all of the pizza.
"I'm so stuffed I can't eat another bite," Amy said, pushing her plate away.
"I guess I can only eat 4," Ephram said, laughing.
"Sounds like your eyes are bigger than your stomach," Amy said laughing.
"Can we play a game," Delia asked?
"Okay, but not Candyland," Ephram said.
Delia went and got out Girl Talk.
"Oh no, not that game," Ephram said. He remembered that Madison had given that game to Delia for her birthday.
"Isn't that the game with the sticker zits," Amy said, laughing.
"I think so," Ephram said.
"How about you pick another game Delia," Andy said.
Delia left and came back with Jenga. They played two rounds. Each round only lasting a few minutes until all the blocks fell down.
"I think it is about time for me to go home," Amy said looking at her watch. She wanted some alone time with Ephram.
"I'll walk you home," Ephram offered. He didn't want to risk putting his car in the ditch because of the snow. Ephram got their jackets and gloves off the register.
"Here, nice warm outerwear," Ephram said handing Amy her things. They put everything on and ventured out into the snow.
"I need my sled," Amy said.
"Get on it, I'll be your chauffeur."
Ephram pulled Amy all the way to her house on the sled, being careful not to tip it. The two talked and laughed all the way to her house.
"We are hear, Madam," Ephram announced in his newly acquired British accent.
Ephram extended his hand, helping Amy out of the sled.
"That was the best ride ever," Amy said, "I must give you a tip." Amy put her arms around Ephram and brought her lips to his. She pulled away leaving him breathless.
"I think I need another one to warm me up for the walk home."
"That can be arranged." Amy gave him another kiss, this one lasting longer.
"I better get going," Ephram said, I had a great time today."
"Me too."
Ephram gave her one last kiss and watched her disappear into the house. On the whole walk home Ephram didn't feel a bit cold. The cold was drowned out by his warm feelings for Amy. He was happy. For once he was actually happy.
"Something like that," Ephram said, smiling at Amy. Ever since he had decided to start something with Amy, he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He didn't ever want her getting away from him again.
"You should have seen her dad," Delia added.
