Ephram and Jake were sitting on Jake's bed. Ephram was about to start reading him a story.

"Daddy?" Jake said quietly.

"Yeah," Ephram answered.

"Are you going to go back to live in your apartment one day?" Jake asked.

"No. I am going to move in with you and Mommy. I love you so much, kiddo, I want to be with you all the time." Ephram said reassuringly.

"Do you love Mommy?" Jake asked.

"Yep." Ephram said with a smile.

"As much as you love me?" Jake said.

"I love Mommy just the same. That's why I can't stand not living with you any more." Ephram said. "Jake, I want you to know that you and Mommy are the most important things in my life. I never liked knowing that I could not be with you when you were younger and I am not going to miss any more time with you, that's why I am moving in. You understand?'

"Yep. Now can you read me the story?" Jake said with a smile.

"Absolutely." Ephram said.

Ephram put his arm around Jake and started reading the story. Jake kept his big smile on his face until he drifted off to sleep. Ephram slowly got up and turned off the light to the room and closed his door. He walked across the hallway and saw Madison folding some laundry. He leaned against the doorframe watching her. She was wearing gyms shorts and a tshirt and had her hair up in a ponytail.

"Need help with that?"

Madison looked over her shoulder, "You offering?"

"I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't offering."

"Then I accept." Madison said as she continued to fold.

Ephram walked up behind her and reached around her putting his chin on her shoulder and grabbed a garment out of the laundry basket. He kissed her neck and wrapped his other arm around her waist. Madison let out a moan with a slight laugh. Ephram took that as a sign that he could entice her further. He slowly pulled her shirt up as Madison leaned back into Ephram.

"Y'know, this laundry won't get put up if you don't stop that."

Ephram dropped the garment he had picked up so he could turn Madison around his arms. He turned her around smiling mischievously at her.

"Good idea, Miss Kellner."

"Good idea?"

"Living together. I didn't realize…" Ephram kissed her firmly on the lips. "just how much I would enjoy being able to …" Ephram kissed her again with more passion than before, "kiss and hold you whenever I wanted to would be."

Madison snickered. Ephram raised his eyebrow.

"Brown, we've only been living together for a few hours."

"True, but still it is nice to be able to do this whenever I want." Ephram kissed her neck.

"Okay, that's enough. We need to make room for your stuff."

"Which reminds me? I am planning on having a sale to get rid of some of my furniture and stuff unless you want to use some of mine stuff and get rid of yours."

"When exactly are you planning on doing that?"

"As soon as possible. I called Mrs. Baker and she said that since my apartment was month-to-month anyway, I need to get out as soon as possible because there is a waiting list to get into the building."

"Wow, you are on top of this."

"Well, I didn't want to waste any time. I figured you might come to your senses and change your mind."

Ephram started walking toward the bedroom door to close it. Madison scoffed at his remark. Ephram then grabbed one of his bags on the floor and brought it over to the bed to grab some clothes out of it.

"What are you doing now?"

"Putting on my pjs, you are already in yours. I feel overdressed."

He started taking off his shirt and his pants on the other side of the bed while Madison continued to fold the clothes.

"I got a meeting tomorrow with Glenn about a project." Madison said as she was eyeing him changing his clothes.

Ephram let a smile slip out when he noticed her looking at him. "Really, so you are going to be in the office tomorrow? You want to meet for lunch? I'll make it worth your while."

"Are you paying?" Madison inquired.

"Umm, let me check my wallet." Ephram sat down on the bed and pulled his wallet out of his jeans pocket and peered in. "It looks like I got enough for a couple of hotdogs and sodas."

Madison crawled over on the bed and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Is that what I am worth – hotdogs and a soda?"

"Well, I never implied actual food would be involved." Ephram looked at her with his sly smile.

Madison shoved him and he fell on the floor off the bed. "We only have an hour lunch."

"That's plenty of time." Ephram said.

Madison's jaw dropped and she then threw a pillow at him.

Ephram yelled, "Hey, now."

Madison threw another pillow at him and then went and sat on him on the floor.

"Take that back."

"No." Ephram said defiantly.

Madison grabs the pillow beside Ephram and hits him, "Take it back." Madison takes the pillow again and is about to hit him again when pulls her down on top of him. The pillow is thrown to the side.

"I take it back, okay." Ephram said with a laugh. "But for the record, you are one beautiful woman when you get in a rage."

"Yeah, well, someone likes to provoke me." Madison replied trying to remain serious.

Madison leaned down and kissed him on the lips. Ephram let out a moan of satisfaction. As they kissed, they both thought about how enjoyable living together was going to be.
