The next thing I know I wake to the sound of voices around me. For a moment I can’t remember where I am. I feel my arms wrapped around someone and the events from the previous day hit me. I open my eyes and look down, there is Lillian, asleep.
I turn my head, my arms squeezing Lillian a little tighter, and look out the window. My guess is it is somewhere around 10 and I figure we should almost be there. The stewardess from the night before walks by and I stop her.
"What time is it ma’am?" I ask, trying not to hurt her. She is just trying to come on to me.
"It is 10 sir, we will be landing in 20 minutes. You may want to wake your friend," she says, stressing the friend part. A part of me wants to jump and strangle her. The other part thinks of Lillian in my arms and sighs.
"All right, thanks," I say and smile bigger when she walks away. My thoughts again drift to the woman in my arms. I wonder what is going to happen once the plane lands.
Will we just go our separate ways and act like nothing happened? Will we keep in contact? Maybe she will show me around Scotland. Maybe she will take me with her to her family reunion.
As if she senses my unease she stirs and opens her eyes. I find myself gazing into her eyes, lost in all that hides within them. I once heard someone say that your eyes were the windows to your soul. Never had the quote been more right.
Suddenly the feeling is so great I can not stop it. It is happening before I even know what is happening. I’m bending in and our lips are touching. I want to pull away but I can’t. All I can think about is the amazing sensation that is coming through me.
