so
aroused by his excitement that she relinquished all
control.  Adam stroked her hair as she crawled up beside
him.  She could feel him as he breathed and listened to
his heart beat beneath her ear.  Amy adored this man who
had unleashed this powerful awareness of her sexuality.
     
    ***
    Adam unlocked the door and tossed his keys
onto the table.  He threw his jacket on the chair in the
living room and went into the kitchen to grab something to
drink.  He’d never guessed that tonight would have ended
the way it did.   Amy sure was full of
surprises, from adorable to temptress .
    Adam snapped on the kitchen light when he saw
Bob drinking a beer.  From the way it looked, with all
the empties stacked up on the table, he had quite a few beers.
    “What’s up Adam?”  Bob slurred his
speech.  “You’re home late for a work night.”
    “I went over to Amy’s for dinner and she
helped me study.”  Adam took a beer out of the fridge and
gulped some down.
    “So did you bang her yet?”  Bob
looked pretty wasted.
    “Being that you’re drunk Bob, I’ll let that
slide,” stated Adam.  “But don’t let it happen
again.”
    “Yeah you really scared me.“  Bob
burped as he spoke.  “You go behind my back and date Amy
when you know I always have liked her.”
    “Bob, let’s discuss this
tomorrow.”  Adam waved him off.  “When you’re
sober.”
    “Yeah, yeah, yeah, some friend you turned out
to be.”  Bob stumbled as he walked towards the
stairs.  “I wish I’d let that guy kick your ass
now.  Good night Benedict Arnold.”
    Adam looked with disbelief at
Bob.   What the hell was he babbling about?  They’d been friends for many years and
Bob never mentioned this before .  He decided to
forget about it.  By the time morning came he was sure
Bob would too.  Adam had more important things to think
about tonight as he drifted off to sleep. 
     
    *** 
    Amy lay on her bed reading her horoscope when
she heard Joey call her from the kitchen.  She tossed the
magazine on her nightstand and headed downstairs in her
pajamas.
    “What do you want Joey?”  Amy came
in the kitchen and stopped dead in her tracks.  Angie sat
at the kitchen table with a Family Feud board game set up on
it. 
    “Let me go get my robe.”  Amy stood
embarrassed for a moment then ran back upstairs.  “I’ll
be right back.”
    She returned and pulled up a chair across
from them.  “Hi, Angie.  I didn’t know you were
here.” 
    “Would you be the emcee?”  Angie
asked.  “We couldn’t play with just the two of us.”
    “Sure.”  Amy placed the game
console in front of her.  “First we will do the
face-off.  Are you both ready?”
    “Yeah, I always win the face
off.”  Joey laughed at the double entendre. 
    “You’re going down.”  Angie tickled
him.  “Remember the bigger they are the harder they
fall.”
    “Name something you double check before you
go to bed.”  Amy read off the first question.
    Joey shot up his hand first.  ”What
her name is!”  He laughed as Angie slapped
him.  “Ouch!”
    Angie’s hand rose as she answered, “That the
doors are locked!”
    Amy slid the window showing that Angie had
the number one answer.  “Now we move onto the feud
round.”  Amy continued to emcee the game until Angie
won.  “Well Joey I guess she showed you!”
    Amy made a pot of coffee and put some
chocolate chip cookies on the table she’d baked
earlier.  “Where do you work?”  She tried to
start up a conversation.
    “Right now I work at the Bad Axe General
Hospital for my internship.  I will graduate with my
nurses’ degree at the end of the year.”
    Amy was shocked.  She felt bad that
she had prejudged Angie before she had taken the time to know
her.   That will teach me never to judge a book by its
cover again .
    “That is very impressive.”  Amy
said as she poured them each a cup of coffee.
    “I’ll be glad
