The Computer Show Begins
Michael and Amanda returned to the hotel and went to their rooms. Amanda had walked beside
Michael, holding his hand and talking happily about returning to “The Arctic Wolf” Friday
evening. It took about three times as long to return to the hotel as it had taken to walk to the
Golden Panda because about every fifteen steps or so, Amanda was stopping and kissing him.
Michael had started dating when he was 16 and he had never had a human girl want to kiss him
¼ as much. He knew he should have stopped her; but, he was enjoying the attention too much,
plus her lips were the softest that had ever kissed him. Surprisingly, the “Voice of Reason” that
had plagued him since he had moved into the Panthera home left him alone while Amanda kissed
him tonight. Michael guessed it had finally accepted his decision.
When they finally reached the door to Amanda’s room, she opened the door, turned, and gave
Michael a lingering kiss. When she pulled away from him, she said, “I never get tired of doing
that.”
“So, I noticed. Do you not plan on slipping into my room and getting into bed with me tonight?”
“Yes. Why?”
“Well, that’s the kind of kiss a girl gives a guy she doesn’t expect to see for a while.”
“Didn’t you like it?”
“Now, Amanda, you know better than that. Of course, I did.”
“Then, do you want me to sleep in my bed tonight?”
