Part Two; Happy Reception (thanks for the reviews everybody, they mean a lot! definitely appreciate it! keep em comin', cuz if they keep comin then there just might be more chapters! I dont know when the next chapter will be, but we'll see)

Everbody filled the dance floor and danced happily. Bright had 2 girls around him as he just stood there grinning to himself as he took a sip of his wine. Everybody was so immersed with themselves and dancing and having a good time that Ephram and Madison finally got to be alone! While the dance floor was covered with a big circle of people taking turns break dancing or making up silly moves to the beat of the music, or doing the 'worm', Ephram and Madison were dancing to their own music off in the background, holding each other with their foreheads together. "How many glasses of wine have you had?" he asked playfully.

"just three" Madison said trying not to smile as she buried her head into his neck and tried not to laugh. She lifted her head and closed her eyes tightly and chuckled, "I'm allowed"

Ephram put his forehead against hers again and just held her closely as the two danced slowly. He couldnt help but close his eyes as he danced with this beautiful woman in his arms. He didnt want it to end.

"This has been one of the most amazing days of my life...and I got to share it with you, Eph. Thank you" Madison said

"You're what makes it amazing"

"you're so good with words, thats one thing that made me fall for you"

Ephram smiled as he tilted his head, "you know what made me fall for you? The way you intereacted with Delia, the passion you have for your music, just...just everything"

Nina and Andy were talking and making small talk with Harold and his wife when Bright came up to them and asked them if they had seen Ephram and Madison. Nina looked around the room and then pointed, "they havent moved from that spot for hours."

"Oh right, looking where they were when I last saw them didnt come to me"

"it never does son, it never does" Harold said jokingly.

Bright made a beeline for the couple, he was too buzzed to care that they looked like they just wanted to be alone.

"Hey Bitches" he said jokingly, "you two taking the limo home?" he inquired

Ephram looked at him as though he had several heads, "is that the only reason you came over here?"

"No," smiled Bright, "also to tell you that the bar is closing and...uh" he looked around "to tell you, that folks, want you, on the dance floor"

There was silence

"Okay so I lied about that, but-"

Madison playfully said "Go away Bright."

"I can do that!" Bright replied as he did the moonwalk towards the dance floor and his two dates.

10 minutes later Ephram looked at Madison with loving eyes, "lets go home..."

"let me do one thing"

"whats that?" he said as Madison leaned in to kiss him slowly. She teased him by touching his lips with the tip of her tongue. The two kissed sweetly and gently before taking each other's hand and trying to sneak out of the reception.

"Where are you two lovebirds going!" yelled Harold

The two didnt stop, Ephram just smiled as he said "Madison's tired, one too many drinks so I'm taking her home! Have a good night everybody!" and they rushed to the limo which took them home. The whole way home the two cuddled together, saying nothing, just enjoying each other's company. Madison's forhead was against Ephram's cheek as her hand kept running through his hair on the nape of his neck.

By the time they did get home it was pretty late, almost 11pm. The two got into their pajamas, climbed into bed and fell asleep wrapped in each other's arms. Before drifting off to sleep, Ephram reminded Madison that they left for their honeymoon in two days and that Andy and Nina would take care of Trenton. Even though Madison was worried about leaving her son with Andy, she was too tired to say anything, she just fell asleep next to her husband with her arm over his midsection. This was perfect she thought to herself as she went off to dreamland.
