I had been planning a vacation for several months, but being alone, didn't know where I wanted to go. After talking to several friends, I decided on going to Colorado. The ski season was arriving, so I thought maybe I could get in a few good runs on a weekend, besides I have some friends that live in Aurora and I knew I could visit them. I booked my flight and was excited about my trip.
As I boarded my flight from Sacramento to Colorado, one of the stewardesses was greeting the passengers, she introduced herself as Candy. Behind her stood the most handsome man I had ever laid my eyes on. Cindy said, this is our Captain, Pat Taylor. I knew that my face turned crimson as I suddenly felt a rush of heat. I tried, or thought that I did, to smile at the Captain. I put my hand out to him to shake his, and when our palms met, I felt an immediate surge. I gripped his hand and looked into his eyes hoping to see a return emotion. Immediately, there was such a warm smile from the Captain, and he said, hope you enjoy the flight. I smiled back and said, I know I will now.
After the plane took off, the stewardess, Cindy, came down the aisle and handed me a note. She smiled, and said, "I think the Captain took a likin' to you" I smiled back and started trembling as I opened the note. It simply said, "Would you like to meet me for a drink after we land.?" I was so excited and at the same time thinking, just another pilot and another lady. But, at the same time, I remembered the surge I felt when our hands touched as I entered the plane. That had to mean something. So, I took a notepad from my purse, wrote a note back, and when Cindy came by again, I handed it to her and asked her to please take it to Captain Taylor. She smiled, and said she would be happy to. Now I couldn't wait for the plane to land. Before the announcement of us getting ready to land, Candy came by with another note for me. It read, "I will meet you in the main lounge after you get your luggage." I was ecstatic (and wet).
As I was waiting for my luggage, I heard a voice behind (very close) say, "hi.' I turned and there he was. MY god, he was so handsome. I wanted to put my arms around him and smother him with kisses, but being in uniform, I knew better. He asked me if someone was meeting me, and I said no. About that time, I saw my luggage. Pat took if off and we walked out of the airport. He said he had a car, not to worry about transportation. He asked me if I wanted to call anyone or if I would like to go have a drink. I told him I could call my friends later, and lets go have a drink. We got into his car and he took me to a very nice restaurant/bar.
