Chapter 14
The two arrived at the Mayor's house and Stephanie informed Sportacus that Uncle Milford and Bessie were out for the day. He was about to say something rude when she grabbed him. They kissed and Sportacus picked her up. Her legs wrapped themselves around his waist. Now at eye level, Stephanie stared into Sportacus' bright Icelandic baby blues. They had lost that dull color and now sparkled very brightly.
"I love you." She murmured. His answer was to kiss her again. Then he asked,
"Shall we start where we left off?" A mischievous look crossed his face.
"Indeed. That's a perfect place to start." She smiled. Sportacus carried Stephanie into the living room. They continued to play tonsil hockey as he laid her down on the couch. Stephanie's hands found their way under his shirt. Her fingers danced over his rock hard abs. He giggled softly as she grazed over his ribs.
"Mm so you are ticklish." Stephanie giggled right back.
"Among other things." He answered slyly.
"Oh like what?" she asked.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." Sportacus replied.
"Believe you me I'll find out." She told him as they kissed again. Sportacus brought Stephanie close and deepened the kiss. They were having quite a good time when his crystal went off.
At first both of them ignored it. But soon Sportacus begrudgingly let go of his love. Then he said,
"I have to go but can I see you later? I have something important to discuss."
"Of course. Just hurry. I don't want whoever needs your help not getting it." She replied. In a blink of an eye, Sportacus was gone. Stephanie sat down on a stool in the kitchen. They were probably never going to get any time alone but as long as they had each other, she could let that happen.
The crystal had gone off because Trixie had convinced Amanda to try something stupid. The girls were rollerblading and Trixie showed off her shredding skills. Amanda had never tried to jump onto a rail and slide down it but since Trixie was egging her on she decided to try anyway. The first few attempts had almost worked and she was about to try again. She got enough air underneath her blades but she wasn't able to steady herself.
Just in time, Sportacus appeared and grabbed her before she landed on the railing. However, she was heavier than he had anticipated and they both crashed to the ground. Sportacus quickly squeezed out from under Amanda. She was just laying there. Her helmet had come off and she looked dazed and confused.
"Are you all right?" he asked concerned.
"I think so." She finally spoke up after a few minutes.
"Anything broken?" Trixie asked.
"I don't know. I hope not." Amanda replied not moving. Quickly Sportacus instructed Trixie to help him remove her gear. Carefully they removed her skates and then her kneepads.
"Can you move your toes, ankles, or knees?" he asked. Slowly Amanda moved those parts.
"Do they hurt?" he asked. Amanda shook her head no. Then Sportacus removed her wrist guards and elbow pads.
"Now how about your shoulders, elbows, or wrists?" He asked. Amanda once again shook her head no.
"Ok good. Now lets sit you up." Carefully, Trixie and Sportacus helped her sit up.
"I think we'd better get you to Dr. Feels Good just in case." Sportacus suggested. Then Amanda looked at Sportacus as if she'd never seen him before.
"Who are you and why are there so many of you?" she asked.
"Oh boy." Trixie said. Slowly Sportacus helped the confused girl to her feet and walked her to the doctor's office. He ordered Trixie to stay with her. So while Amanda and Trixie stayed at the doctor's, Sportacus went back to the Mayor's house.
