Wings of Love by Jeanette Skutinik Page A

I’ve never had a teacher who kept me
so interested in my study sessions,” he looked at her
flirtatiously.  “You are an amazing woman.”
    “Thank you,” Amy blushed.  “You
just bring out the best in me.”
    The waitress brought their desserts and
refilled their coffee.  She left some more napkins on the
table.  “If you need anything else just holler.”
    Amy dipped her ice cream into the hot
fudge.  She provocatively licked the spoon as Adam
watched her in astonishment.
    “You better not make promises you can’t
keep,” Adam’s eyes danced with pleasure.   He wiped
some hot fudge from her lip and licked it off his
finger.  “I was going to invite you over to my parent’s
house this weekend.”  Adam looked at her
fondly.  “But now I don’t know if I should take you to
meet my mother.”
    “Okay, I’ll behave myself,” she laughed as
she stared deep into his eyes.  “I’d love to spend time
with you and your family.  I haven’t been there in a long
time.”
    “Well I guess we better get
going.”  Adam noticed the waitress started shutting the
lights off as a cue they were about to close. 
    She gathered her things and bundled
up.  Amy and Adam walked out to the parking
lot.  She jumped on his back as he carried her to the car
both of them laughed all the way there.  Underneath the
parking lot light, he picked her up in his arms kissing her
passionately good night.  She hugged him tight enjoying
this moment of happiness shared between them.
    “Good night Adam,” she lightly kissed his
nose before getting into her car.
    “Good night, babe.”  Adam closed
her door then tapped on her window.  “I’ll call
you.”  He held his thumb and pinkie to his ear before
walking away.
    Amy listened to  Let Your Love
Flow  by The Bellamy Brothers on her way
home.  She sang along thinking about Adam.  She
wondered if he had the same song on in his truck and if Adam was
thinking about her.
     
    ***
    Adam listened to the end of  Take It
to the Limit  by The Eagles.  He was just about
to shut the truck off when he noticed Amy on the front
porch.  She glided down the stairs carrying a pie dish
looking exceptionally beautiful today.  She had on black
high waist slacks, with a silky gray blouse covered by a black
blazer which flared at her hips.  Amy hips swayed as she
walked towards him, her long gold earrings dangled in rhythm with
her body.   Damn she looks sexy .
    “Hi babe.”  He leaned over and
kissed her as she handed him the pie
dish.  “Hmm.  Smells like apple pie?”
    “It’s my mom’s recipe,” Amy
nodded.  “I didn’t want to show up empty handed.”
    “Mom is making her award winning fried
chicken.”  Adam looked at Amy and smiled.  “She
won 1st place at the 1975 county fair.  I’m sure
you’ll hear all about it when we get there.”
    Adam headed out of town towards the open
farmland.  He stopped at the flashing yellow light by
Frank’s Corner Market.  When traffic cleared he made a
left hand turn heading east towards his family’s farm. When he
approached the first dirt road he made a right hand turn. 
    Adam drove over an old wooden bridge which
covered the Cass River.  “This is where I used to fish
all the time.”  He shared the memories of his childhood
with Amy.  He pointed down a muddy lane that led into a
field that was now covered with snow.  “And over there is
where I took the cows out to pasture every morning and walked them
home every night.”
    As Adam pulled into the dirt driveway a
couple dogs approached barking at the truck.  Once the
dogs recognized Adam their tails wagged happily to greet
him.  He pulled behind the house and parked his
truck. 
    “Hold up babe.”  Adam came around
to the passenger side and handed her the pie.  He carried
Amy to the back door and set her down on the cement
step.  “You look so beautiful I didn’t want you to get
all muddy.”
    “Thank
