Wings of Love
fast pace songs were played
then the lights were dimmed for the first slow song of the
night,  My Love Is Alive  by Gary Wright.
    Adam skated behind Amy as he held her in his
arms.  He nestled his face in the nape of her neck
pulling her closer to him.  He enjoyed the movement of
her body against his and the smell of her.  The song
ended and he led her towards the exit.  He held her hand
in his as he glanced around the area to find a table.  He
spotted one that had just been cleared off and headed towards
it.
    “Would you like a hot chocolate or something
to eat?”  Adam asked as he noticed the zamboni machine
had come out on the ice.
    “Sure, that sounds good.”  Amy sat
down and busied herself lacing her skates that had loosened
up.  “Whatever you want is fine with me.”
    “I’ll see what they have.  I’ll be
right back.”  Adam walked away towards the concession
stand.  He ordered a large pepperoni pizza and the hot
chocolates.  “Hey Bob.”  Adam bumped into him
heading in the same direction he was almost spilling the
drinks.
    “What’s up Adam?”  Bob followed him
back to the table.  He smiled as he sat down next to
Amy.  “Hi Amy!”
    “Oh, hi Bob,” she said startled by his sudden
appearance.
    Adam passed Amy one of the hot chocolates he
brought back.  “Watch it.  It’s
hot.  They said our pizza would be up in ten
minutes.”
    “Would you like to skate?”  Bob
placed his arm around Amy.
    Before Amy could answer Joey and Angie
approached their table. 
    “Pizza?  That sounds
good.”  Joey and Angie joined them.  “Have a
seat Angie and I’ll go order us one.” 
    Angie sat down next to Adam.  “Hi
Amy.”
    “Hi Angie,” said Amy.  “This is
Adam and Bob.”
    “Hi Angie.”  Adam and Bob said at
the same time.
    “Hi,” she said.  “It is nice to
finally meet you.  Joey has told me a lot about you
both.”
    “Uh-oh,” laughed Bob.  “I plead the
fifth.”
    “All good,” Angie laughed.  “I
promise.”
    “Hi Guys.”  Janet sat down next to
Bob.  “Guess what?  It is
official.  I am moving to New York!  I got the
part of Kendall on My Generations!”
    “That’s awesome Janet!”  Amy beamed
at her friend.  “I am so happy for you!! When do you
leave?”
    “Next week,” Janet said.  “You will
definitely have to come out and see me sometimes, all of you.”
    “That sounds like a plan,” Adam agreed.
    “Party in New York,” whooped Bob. 
    Adam excused himself as he picked up their
pizza.  Joey and him brought the pizzas back and set them
down on the table to be shared with the gang.  He had a
good time as they talked and made plans about going to New York at
the end of this year.  Adam noticed the way Amy’s nose
crinkled and her dimples shown when she laughed at Joey as he told
one of his latest jokes. 
    “Well, you ready to get back out
there?”  Adam offered his hand and helped her out of her
seat.
    “I most certainly am,” she took his hand and
he ushered her onto the ice.
    Bob whispered to Joey before they were out of
hearing distant.  “What’s up with Adam and
Amy?  Are they together?”
    “They’ve been seeing each other for a couple
weeks,” Joey said nonchalantly.  “Why?”
    “No particular reason.”  Bob
slapped Joey on the back.  “Well I think I am going to
take off now.  I got myself a hot date tonight.”
    “See you around.  Don’t do anything
I wouldn’t do.”  Joey chuckled as he turned around to see
Angie who looked perturbed.  “I’m just
kidding.”  He quickly kissed her and apologized as he led
her to the ice to skate again. 
     

Chapter 6
     Amy heard the door bell ring while she
stirred the spaghetti sauce.  She placed the lid back on
the crock pot, set the wooden spoon down and rushed out of the
kitchen.  She checked her reflection in the mirror that
hung over the table in the vestibule before she opened
