The small Cessna 172 picked up speed as it roared down the runway, Sara at the controls, the flight instructor beside her, but for the last time. One lesson to complete, and she'd be soloing! The anticipation was leaving her almost breath less with anticipation, and the butterflies in her stomach felt more like pterodactyls. But one aspect to this adventure was making her melancholy. She was going to miss Ted. Without the lessons to bring them together, how was she going to see him again? She knew her love for him was probably not returned, but she could dream. Sara smiled and turned to him,
“I don't think I'm ready to solo. I think I need more lessons.”
“Well yes, ma'am, if that's how you feel.”
“I do. So next Saturday, same time then?”
“Why sure, that'll be fine, ma'am.
“And Ted, would you please stop calling me ma'am? I'd rather you called me Sara.”
“And Ted, would you please stop calling me ma'am? I'd rather you called me Sara.”
“Yes, ma'am.” He winked. “Sara.”
She grinned back.
He cleared his throat.
“There is one thing though. It's going to be really hard for me to give you more lessons. I was really looking forward to being done as your teacher.”
Her smile faded.
His grin widened, “So that I could instead ask you out.”
It's Saturday Centus again, with Jenny Matlock at off on my tangent. She likes to keep us guessing, that's for sure. This week the assignment was to take ANY of the previous lessons' work (anybody's, not just our own) and add another 100 words. So I went back to one of the couples I'd written about and let them tell a bit more of their story. Head on over there for the full rules and to join this link party.
