"Wow!" That was the
only thing that came to mind as Amanda tried desperately to stop the spinning
in her head and calm the erratic beating of her heart. She fought to drag in great gulps of air
while trying to smooth her hair, which was now in a state of disarray.
Lee was no better off.
"Amanda," he whispered breathlessly, "that was…"
"I know," she managed to utter. "I can't believe that we…"
"Yeah, we sure did!"
Lee was staring at her intently.
"Uh...Amanda…uh…do you think we could do it again," he asked smiling
sheepishly.
"Again!" she exclaimed, not believing he was asking this of
her. "Lee," she said, "We've already
done it four times tonight! Don't you
think that's enough for one night?"
"Aw, come Amanda, this is so much fun and we haven't spent
this much time together in a long, long time."
"Aren't you getting a little old for this?"
Feigning a wound to his heart, Lee exclaimed, "Old, I'll
show you old!"
He cast one of his devil-may-care smiles her way and she
began to crack. The look he gave her
held so much excitement. His eyes were brightly
twinkling and his whole body seemed to shudder in anticipation. She found it hard to refuse him when he
looked at her this way. Ever so slowly
he leaned toward her. With practiced
care, he placed a gentle kiss on her cheek and began making a journey to her
lips. When his lips finally met hers,
he deepened the kiss, melting her resolve.
Lee put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her
close. "Please…for me," he pleaded.
"Listen, Lee," she looked at him trying her best to reason
with him. "After all we've done
tonight, I'm getting awfully tired."
"Oh," he said as his face fell. He looked so disappointed and she was sorry she was the cause of
his disappointment.
Reaching out to place her finger under his chin, she lifted
his head so she could look into his eyes.
"Lee," she whispered, "If it means this much to you, then yes, we can do
it again. But just remember this, I may
not be able to walk tomorrow and it will be all your fault."
He was beaming and his smile extended from ear to ear. "Oh, Amanda, you're the greatest!" he said
as he leaned in to kiss her. "Are you
ready?"
"Just a minute Big Fella,'
Promise me this will be the last time."
"Never!" he laughed.
Off they went again.
Even though they had been through this several times and she knew what
to expect, Amanda felt her breathing quicken and her heart begin to race. The up and down sensations were just so
overwhelming and she found herself grabbing at Lee's shoulder to help ground her. She heard someone cry out and somewhat
embarrassed, she realized that the scream had come from her own lips. She opened her eyes to find Lee's face
before her.
"Amanda, are you okay?" he asked showing concern.
As things began to slow down once again, she shyly
smiled. "Yeah, and I'm sorry about
that. I guess I got a little carried
away."
"Amanda, it's okay.
I got a little carried away myself."
He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into the comfort of his
embrace. They sat that way for several
minutes as they slowly spiraled back down to earth.
After several moments, Lee whispered low in her ear, "You
know, the night is still young. We
could have another go at this."
Amanda sat up and with a finger poking at his chest she
pushed herself out of his arms. "You're
joking, right," she said wryly as she looked pointedly at him with her right
eyebrow raised.
Gathering her back in his arms, he placed his lips against
her ear and said seductively, "Well, you know, the Scarecrow has a reputation
to uphold. The record for one evening
is thirteen times." Knowing how much
she enjoyed a challenge he prompted, "So, partner, are you game?"
Amanda turned to look at him directly and calmly answered,
"Scarecrow, you're gonna hafta find yourself another partner if you plan to
break that record tonight! Maybe one of
your Randi-babies could help out. Or,
how about Francine!"
The look on Lee's face was priceless as she tried to stifle
the laughter that was about to escape her lips. She got up and began to walk, albeit unsteadily, away from
him. He quickly scrambled after her,
catching her by the arm and spinning her around to face him.
"But, Amanda, I don't want another partner. Only you.
If you've had enough, then so have I." He gathered her close and place a
soft kiss on her mouth.
"Fine, she answered against his lips. Besides, I have another record I'd like for
us to try and break this evening."
Stepping back but taking hold of his hand, she led him to a darkened
corner. Wrapping her arms around his
neck, she pulled his head down so she could whisper in his ear. As she told him of her plans for later in
the evening, a delicious smile began to spread across Lee's face.
"Why Mrs. Stetson, I didn't know you had such lascivious
thoughts! And yes, I'd love to assist
you in breaking that record this evening."
"Well, then," she said, "we'd better find the boys and get
going. That is, if we can get them to
leave this amusement park. I think they've
ridden this Monster Coaster as many times as we have, if not more."
They waited for the coaster to stop and the boys to
disembark. They were high-fiving each
other because they realized they'd outlasted Lee and their Mother on the
awesome Monster Coaster.
"Come on fellas, it's time to meet up with your Dad and
Carrie." They left the amusement park
and headed to the pizza parlor where they were to meet Joe and Carrie. They
were taking the boys overnight and would be heading to Baltimore early the next
morning. Since Dottie was visiting her
sister for the weekend, Lee and Amanda were left with nothing to do for the
remainder of the weekend but to enjoy each other's company as husband and wife.
Later that evening as they cuddled in bed reveling in the
aftermath of their love-making, Amanda turned to Lee and smiled seductively.
"Lee, ummm…do you...uh…think we could do it again?"
A slow, yet seductive smile slowly began to spread across
Lee's face. "Oh most definitely,
Amanda," he said as his hands began a leisurely journey, "As I told you before," he said wiggling his
eyebrows, " the Scarecrow has a reputation to maintain!"
