After ages of yearning for each other, with so much burning desire, we've finally had our first night together as new lovers. As agreed, after a memorable moment of waking up together and a passionate morning of lovemaking, showering, and dressing, we had a sensual breakfast, then returned to our separate lives.
But life is now different. Even more vibrant than before. Daily life has a new tinge to it, a contrast that wasn't there previously. For each of us, we feel like a changed person. There's a new feeling of health, an awakening in the heart that is unique to a newfound love. Everything around each of us looks a little different and has a new perspective. Daily routines don't seem as mundane. What we have is exciting. Beautiful. And it spills out around us, changing our perception of life, as well as affecting those around us. People around us that know each of us well can tell there is something different with us, but don't know what. Our secret continues.
We agree to meet again soon. And as we talk, we pick a Saturday that works for both of us. I decide that this one is going to be a surprise for you. I tell you there will be a ticket waiting for you at the airport, and you don't have to bring a single thing. I only want you to do your beautiful auburn hair for me, leaving it long and straight with slight waves, as I like it. You eagerly await the day, excited with an anticipation of us seeing each other, unable to focus on daily life as the time approaches. On the particular day, you drive to the airport at the time I instructed, leave your car in the daily lot, and walk to the check-in counter. You're nervously excited about the unknown. Where in the world will you be going? What meets you there?
As you approach the counter, you see a long line, and your heart sinks slightly. You join the end of the queue, and pull out your phone to pass the time. However, a uniformed male attendant walks up to you and asks, "Excuse me madam, are you Alexandra?" You nod in surprise, and he motions to an empty counter on the end. "We've been expecting you. Right this way please." You approach the counter, and a nice older lady greets you with a warm smile, asking for identification. You show her your driver's license, and she gives you a ticket. You just have to know where you're going, and look at the ticket in your hand. San Francisco. You're going to San Francisco? The agent says, "We have you in first class, seat 2A, and your flight will be boarding in 30 minutes at gate C3. Do you have any bags to check today?" You shake your head no, and she wishes you a very good day. Did she give you a wink? What was that?
You go through security, breezing straight through the priority line, and quickly arrive at your gate, passing time by checking messages on your phone and idly playing a game. You're one of the first to board, and settle into your nice seat at the front of the plane. As everyone else boards, the premium flight attendant greets you by name and without asking, sets a whiskey on the rocks on your armrest, then hands you a small envelope embossed with an "A". You open it with surprise to see a small card inside. "I'm looking forward to a wonderful day together. - Me". She then hands you a single red rose, blowing your mind, smiles, and says, "I don't know what you have in store today, but something tells me you're a very lucky girl and I should be jealous. Please let me know if I can get you anything at all during your flight."
Just then, your phone buzzes. You pick it up, and see a message from me. "Soon, Ally. Soon." You furiously reply back, "What in the world? How did you do this?" You receive a single reply.
;)
Your flight departs quickly, and you settle in for the trip, relaxing and resting. The drink hits the spot, and puts you at ease. The aircraft accelerates down the runway, rumbling as it picks up speed, then rotates and lifts off. As it does so, the cabin begins to pressurize, ever so slightly fatiguing you. The gentle vibrations and hums of the engines are a little hypnotic. You drift off into a peaceful slumber, wakening later to the small jolt in the aircraft as the flaps extend and the gear comes down for landing. You raise the window shade next to you, looking with interest out on the world into which you're arriving. This new place looks a little surreal as you see it from a half mile above the earth. You're a voyeur, remotely observing millions of people going about their lives, embroiled in commerce and leisure. You're watching an entire city laid out below you. There... that's the Golden Gate Bridge! You smile, pick up the rose, and raise it to your nose, inhaling and smelling its sweet scent, feeling its soft petals graze your face. Then you turn and again look out the window in wonder, idly twisting the rose stem in your hand.
The jet lands, and you brace yourself for the deceleration as the aircraft slows to a stop, then take your phone out of airplane mode to anxiously check for messages. After a few seconds, your phone comes alive with mail and notifications from the past few hours, and you eagerly scroll through, looking for something from me, but don't see anything. As you get off the plane, the same stewardess wishes you a very good day, giving you a sweet smile. You see in her eyes a faint look of pain and longing, as if she wants what you have, something missing from her own personal life. One of the pilots stands at the cockpit door, thanking you for flying with them. You look at him, and your thoughts turn to me. Your own pilot. You half expect me to come out of the cockpit, with this surprise trip.
