Sorry this chapter is so short! I'll try and update again this week. I have some more pages written and I have a lot of ideas in mind, but I'm pretty busy so it might take a while. Hope you enjoy.
Madison sat down on the coffee table in front of him, "are we ever gonna talk about last night?"
Ephram had not expected her to bring it up, "I don't see what we need to talk about"
Madison leaned forward, "Come on Ephram, we've been avoiding it all day…"
He shook his head, "I haven't been avoiding anything…I-it just hasn't come up…that's all"
Madison gave him a look and he gave in. He leaned back and threw his arms up in surrender, "Fine…fine…we'll talk about it…but I-I don't see what good it's gonna do"
"So what was this one about?" she asked as she moved over to the couch.
Ephram looked over at her, "I already told you…"
"Ephram, please…just humor me"
"What are you some kind of therapist now?"
"No…but maybe if we talk about it, it'll help"
Ephram sighed, "We were driving…you noticed I was acting weird so you pulled over and asked me what was wrong…then I told you-I-I-I told you, that I slept with Amy…so you told me to get out…and I did, and then you pulled back onto the road…an-and you…" It shook him up just thinking about it so he took another deep breath, "You got hit by a truck…"
Madison was looking forward, "Wow"
Ephram looked over at her and saw her shock, "See…I knew I shouldn't have told you…now you're mad"
She quickly shook her head, "No-no I'm not mad…just a little shocked…at least it was better than the one where you killed me yourself…"
Ephram got up, "It's not funny!"
Madison got up and grabbed his hands, "I know Ephram…I'm sorry, I was just trying to lighten the mood…"
"You have no idea-you don't know how much they scare me…how-how real they are!"
She put her hand on his cheek, "But they're not real Ephram…no part of them is real…you have to remember that"
Ephram looked down, "I know…I-I know…but the thought of hurting you like that…the thought of losing you-"
"You're not gonna lose me…" she pulled him in for a breathtaking kiss.
Ephram deepened the kiss and wrapped his arms around her waist. They slowly made their way over to the bed, knocking many things over in the process.
