Thanks so much to everyone for all the reviews!! Somebody told me that I should write for myself and not just the reviews...well I do write for myself, I would probably have finished this story on my own even if I stopped posting it here. But reviews really do help me a lot. It's good to know that people are actually reading my writing-whether they enjoy it or not. I don't know about other writers, but reviews are my motivation, they help me get over writers block and think of new story lines. Every time I post a new chapter I look forward to reading all of the reviews. So thanks to everyone that did review, it really means a lot and keep reviewing!!
Ephram stepped out of the building and into the cool Manhattan air. He stopped and watched his breath for a minute then started to walk. He found the night noise to be therapeutic. Usually after one of his dreams he would just go out and walk for a while, trying to figure out what it all meant.
The first time he dreamt that Madison had cheated on him, so he pushed her over a bridge. In fact in all of his dreams one or both of them cheated on the other. Did that mean Madison was cheating on him? No. He quickly shook the idea out of his head. They had just moved in together-well officially, he was required to stay in the dorms freshman year, but he usually just went to Madison's anyway. Why would Madison cheat on him? What could he have done? "Stop!" he said out loud to himself. Madison would never cheat on him, and he knew that.
He continued walking as he argued with himself.
Madison was sitting up in bed, trying to read, while she waited for Ephram to come home. She looked over at the clock, it had been an hour since he left. Then she remembered that she had to get up in 3 hours. She stared at the door for a couple minutes, hoping that he would walk through it, but when he didn't, she turned off the light and reluctantly went to bed.
She woke up to the buzzing sound of her alarm. She quickly looked over and let out a sigh of relief when she saw Ephram, still fully clothed, laying next to her.
She shut off her alarm and went into the kitchen.
Ephram woke up to the sound of water running. He rubbed his eyes and looked over at the clock. It was 20 after 7. He walked into the kitchen and found that Madison had left his breakfast on the counter. He picked it up and walked over to couch.
Madison got out of the shower and heard the TV, "Ephram? Is that you?"
"yeah"
Madison walked out of the bathroom in a towel, "Are you ok?"
Ephram nodded, "I'm fine..."
Madison looked at him suspiciously, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure" he gave her a reassuring smile.
"Ok then...do you have class today?" she asked as she rummaged through the closet.
Ephram got up and brought his plate to the sink, "Yeah...at 9"
"Did you wanna have lunch? Maybe around 1?"
"That sounds good...Joe's?"
Madison was back in the bathroom blow-drying her hair, "What?"
Ephram walked in, "Joe's?" he said loudly over the noise.
Madison nodded, "Yeah...that's fine...we haven't had pizza in a while"
"Ok"
Ephram undressed and jumped in the shower. When he came out, Madison was putting on her make-up.
"Big meeting today?"
She smiled, "No...but it doesn't hurt to look nice every once in a while"
Madison was about to put her lip gloss on but Ephram stopped her, "Wait"
She looked at him confused, "What?"
Ephram took it out of her hand, "Don't put that on yet"
"Why not?"
Ephram smiled, "Cause I don't want to ruin it"
He pulled her to him and kissed her passionately.
Madison wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.
Ephram opened his mouth, letting her tongue in.
Madison finally pulled away, "Ok...that's enough...I'm gonna be late..."
Ephram looked at her pleadingly, "Oh come on...we have plenty of time"
Madison shook her head, "I just spent all this time getting ready...I have to leave in 5 minutes"
Ephram gave her a quick kiss, "Fine...I see you have your priorities straight"
"Tonight ok? ...alright, I gotta go" she gave him a sweet kiss, "I'll see you at 1"
"Yeah...don't be late"
Madison grabbed her purse, "I wont be...I promise"
She walked out the door.
