A/N: Thanks for the reviews. I really do appreciate the flames. It
lets me know what I need to improve. I'll try not to let my hatred of
Madison overshadow her actual character. Oh...and Ephram broke up with
Madison, I think I already said that, and that whole pregnancy thing didn't
happen. It just doesn't really work for my fanfiction.
Amy heard the doorbell ring and left her room in her Dream House to go answer the door. She was surprised to see Chris there – without a cameracrew.
"Hi, Amy. I was just wondering if we could talk. Some stuff for the show and I thought maybe we could just talk, as friends." Chris said when he got to the door.
"That'd be great." Amy replied. "I haven't really had anyone to talk to recently. I never realized how lonely it would be to be the Woman of Their Dreams. Come in."
When they were seated in the large living room, complete with a not just big screen, more along the lines of huge screen, TV, a pool table, and CD Player.
"Well first things first, the stuff for the show," Chris said, after Amy had gotten them both glasses of water. Her mother had always taught her to be a good hostess. "For the next round in-between candle ceremonies, you get to choose your two single dates. The men won't know that you picked them, they will think that it was my a compatibility test that you and them took before you all came here. You can tell them that you chose them if you want, that's up to you.
"Should I tell you now?" Amy asked. She already knew she was taking Ephram on one date but the other she wasn't so sure. Probably Tad, he seemed pretty nice. She just hoped he wouldn't make a move on her again. But then again, that was part of the show.
"You can call the production at any time in the next two days and let them know your decision."
"OK." Amy said, making a personal note to choose her second date as soon as possible.
"Now," Chris said, getting suddenly much more lively, "give me the dirt! Who's hot who's not? Who's the best kisser?" he said as they both laughed. She was glad she could tell somebody, and she wasn't about to tell Madison how she and Ephram were in love. Of course, she couldn't tell Chris that either.
"Well," Amy said hesitantly, deciding whether or not to tell Chris. Why the hell not? She thought. I could keep information to a minimum. "Well, the only person I really feel a connection with so far is Ephram."
"I knew you'd like him. Since I saw your face when you first saw him and the way you acted at the hockey date." Chris replied. Little did he know that her face was out of shock and that it wasn't their first few hours together when they were at the hockey game.
"I definitely want Ephram to be one of the men I go on a one-on-one date with. We need some more time alone." Amy said, practically giving away that they had spent time alone before. "I mean, other than the five minutes or so during the group date." She said, quickly correcting her mistake.
"I'll be sure to let the producers know." Chris told her and was followed by an awkward pause. There really was nothing else to say.
"Well, you better be going." Amy finally said, shattering their period of silence. "I've got to get to thinking about that second one-on- one date."
"OK." Chris replied, standing up. "I'll see you at the next Candle Ceremony." And he walked out the door and Amy closed the door behind him.
As soon as she heard his fancy car leave the driveway, she immediately ran upstairs and turned on her cell phone and quickly dialed Ephram's cell number.
"Hello." Ephram said, picking up his phone. He still had a phone from when he was a teenager and it didn't even have caller ID. Amy had made fun of him for having a dinosaur phone even when they were back in Everwood. Add ten years to that. But Amy knew the real reason why Ephram kept the phone. It was because it was the number she had called when she told Ephram she wanted to see him one last time.
"Hey Ephram, its me." Amy said.
Ephram knew immediately who it was. "Hey, what's up? Anything interesting happening over at your place?"
"Well, Chris just came over and told me that I was going to have two one-on-one dates and I get to choose who they are. And naturally I chose you." Amy said, wishing she could give him a kiss.
"That's awesome," Ephram said, "I can't wait!"
"Yeah, me either." Amy said excitedly. "Just keep it on the down-low. Chris is gonna tell the rest of the guys that it was chosen by a compatibility test."
Will do." Ephram replied. "I'll see you tonight, 10 o'clock in front of the movie theater. Honestly, when is Woody Allen gonna stop making movies? That guys gotta be like 70 by now."
"See you then." Amy said with a laugh. "I love you"
"Love you too." Ephram said as he hung up.
He couldn't wait!
A/N: I know, I know, its such a short chapter. But I promise you, longer and more frequent chapters. And don't worry, we're not done with the drama of the Madison situation. Please review!
