Thanks to those who reviewed, I really appreciate it!
I'm not very happy with this chapter...but I had writer's block so it's the best I could do...
They walked into the living room and Amy stood up.
"Madison, Hi…I told Ephram he didn't have to wake you-I could just stay at a motel or something-"
Madison quickly shook her head, "No, don't worry about it…it's really no trouble"
"Are you sure…cause I could really just stay somewhere else"
"It's fine…the couch is actually pretty comfy…"
Amy smiled, "Thanks"
"Well…I have to go and finish some work, but make yourself at home…Ephram'll get you some sheets and a pillow or something…I guess I'll see you in the morning"
Amy nodded, "Yeah…thanks again"
Madison walked back into the bedroom.
"See? I told you it would be fine…"
"This is really nice of you Ephram…I can't thank you enough"
Ephram walked over to the linen closet and pulled out a sheet, a blanket and a pillow.
"Did you want me to uh set it up for you?"
Amy shook her head, "No…no you've done way too much already…I can do it"
"Ok…well, I guess I'll see you in the morning then?"
"Yeah…good night"
"Night" he walked back into the bedroom.
Madison was sitting in bed with her hair tied back and her laptop in her lap.
"Are you sure you're ok with this?" he asked.
Madison looked up, "Why wouldn't I be? I mean…she's one of your oldest friends"
Ephram sat down next to her, "I know…"
"You don't sound too ok with it…"
Ephram leaned his head back on the headboard and sighed, "I am-well…I-I thought I was…but I mean…I haven't talked to her in months-an-and then the dreams…what if this is some kind of sign or something?"
"since when do you believe in signs?"
"I don't…"
Madison smiled, "Ok then…what are you worried about?"
"Don't you think it's kinda weird that she just shows up r-r-right after I have that dream?"
"I would call it a coincidence"
Ephram turned towards her, "I know…but what if-what if it means something?"
Madison grabbed his hand, "Ephram…you're not just gonna go out there and sleep with her right?"
He nodded, "Right"
Madison smiled, "so…you have nothing to worry about"
"But-"
She put her hand over his mouth, "No buts"
Ephram stuck his tongue out and licked her hand. She quickly pulled it away and laughed, "Very mature"
She wiped her hand off on his shirt and went back to work.
The next morning Ephram woke up alone in bed. He looked at the clock- it was 8.
Madison was sitting at the table reading a magazine when she heard a scream come from the bathroom, she quickly got up and practically ran into Ephram who had his hands over his eyes.
"Sorry-sorry I-uh-I…"
Madison put her hands on his shoulders, "Ephram calm down"
Ephram looked back towards the bathroom, "I-I-I thought it was you and I-I went in-in and it-it-it wasn't you and I…"
Madison smiled, "You walked in on her?"
"I-I-I didn't see anything-I swear-it-it was just-"
Madison laughed, "Ephram it's fine…it's not a big deal…"
"Yes it is! I-I should have known-do you have any idea how awkward this is gonna be?!"
"Well…at least you can look back in 5 years and laugh about it"
"Wow…I never thought about that…I guess every cloud does have a silver lining" he said sarcastically.
Just then Amy walked out of the bathroom, fully clothed.
Ephram turned to her, "I-I'm so sorry Amy-I-uh I thought you were Madison…I wasn't really thinking-I didn't see anything though-I-I swear"
Amy half smiled, she felt incredibly awkward, "It's fine Ephram…"
"No-no it's not…"
Madison decided to change the subject, "Well…I should get to work"
Amy smiled, "Yeah…and I should probably get going"
"Wait-woah…you-you don't have to go" Ephram tried to stop her.
Amy nodded, "Yeah…I mean my friend's probably back by now…and I don't want to overstay my welcome so…"
"Come on…stay…I don't have class today-I can show you around…we can go to breakfast or something and I'll take you to your friend's place after?"
Madison looked at him, she wasn't sure if she liked this idea, and her jealousy was starting to kick in.
Amy smiled, "Ok…I guess that would be alright…let me just call her"
Amy walked into the other room.
Ephram noticed Madison's look and smiled.
"What?" she asked.
"You're jealous." he responded, still smiling.
She looked at him, shocked, "Am not!" she pushed him playfully and walked back into the bedroom.
"Yes you are…see, you were fine with it before-when I wasn't fine with it…but now that I am fine with it-you're not fine with it"
Madison looked at him, confused, "I have no idea what you just said"
"Just admit it…"
"No"
"You're flaring your nostrils"
Madison quickly put her hand over her nose, "That's not fair!"
They both started laughing at their immaturity.
