Wow sorry about the delay. I planned to update on Monday...but I guess I just forgot about it! Sorry!
About an hour later, Ephram was sitting at the keyboard with his headphones on when he heard a knock on the door.
He got up and opened it to find Amy standing there.
Ephrm was confused at first, he hadn't talked to Amy in a while, but then he smiled.
"A-Amy…hey-what are you doing here?"
Amy gave Ephram a sweet hug, "Long time no see"
They pulled away.
"I actually just got in a couple hours ago…I'm staying with a friend of mine in the village, but I thought I'd stop by and say hi-your dad told me where you were, I hope you don't mind"
"Oh-no, not at all…well, uh…come on in" He motioned inside.
Amy looked around the apartment, "Wow…this is a nice place"
Ephram smiled, "Yeah…well, Madison gets a nice paycheck"
Amy smiled, "So…is Madison here?"
Ephram nodded, "Yeah…actually, she's sleeping"
"It's 8:30"
"I know…that's what I said…I guess she was just worn out. So, uh, let me show you around…back there is the bedroom-there's a bathroom over there…and that's the kitchen…are you hungry or thirsty…or something?"
Amy shook her head, "No…no I'm ok"
"Are you sure?"
She nodded, "Yeah"
They were sitting on the couch talking when Amy's phone rang.
"Sorry…this'll just take a second" she told him as she flipped open here phone.
Ephram just sat there and looked around the room. He was still kind of in shock.
Amy flipped her phone down in anger and looked down.
"Something wrong?" Ephram asked.
Amy looked up and shook her head, "No…no it's nothing…just my friend-the one I was staying with…well she's stuck in New Jersey…she had some car trouble or something I dunno"
"Oh…well do you need a place to stay?"
Amy stood up, "No…I couldn't do that, I'll just go find some motel or something"
Ephram shook his head, "No…it's fine, I mean…it-it's no trouble…it's just one night right?"
Amy nodded.
"Don't worry about it…I'll just go run it by Madison…I'm sure it'll be fine"
Amy quickly stopped him, "No Ephram…don't wake her…really it's fine, I'll just go get a room somewhere…you don't have to do anything"
Ephram shook his head, "Please…it's the least I could do…I'll be right back"
Before Amy could say anything Ephram was walking into the bedroom.
He saw Madison sleeping peacefully. He hated to wake her, but knew she would be scared to death if she saw someone sleeping on the couch.
He leaned over and kissed her softly. Madison smiled, keeping her eyes closed.
"I take it you're over Freddie?"
"Yeah well…he's a married man…I-I didn't want to wake you but…uh, Amy's here"
Madison rubbed her eyes, "Amy?"
"Yeah"
"What is she doing here?"
"She's visiting a friend but needs a place to stay for the night…would you mind"
Madison sat up, "Did you know she was coming?"
Ephram shook his head, "No…she just kinda showed up…then her friend called and said she couldn't make it back or something…so I said she could probably stay on the couch-listen you don't have to get up…just go back to bed, I'll tell her-"
Madison shook her head, "No…it's fine, she can stay here…"
"Well go back to bed…you're exhausted"
"I had to get up anyway…I still have some work to do"
"Oh…well, I'll go get her some sheets and stuff…"
"K…"
Madison got up and kissed him.
"You're sure you're ok with this?" he asked.
"Yeah…course"
