I knew he wanted more, and I knew how badly I needed him… but as the time for me to board my outbound flight, I had my doubts.
I love my job, the arousal in flight, the flirting, the exotic destinations, and the close friendships I have with the aircrews. I really didn’t want to make a decision, and even though he hadn’t directly asked me, I started to build a tiny core of resentment that he would want me to give up my life and the career that I loved. He sensed the tiny spot of coldness in me, another manifestation of the kind of man he is, and he didn’t push me.
I dreaded going back to work for the first time in my career and I hated the feeling. We both carried our bags to the lobby and we sat down for a last cup of coffee, the tension thick between us. It was Everett who finally broke the silence and I steeled myself for what was to come.
“I can guess what’s wrong Telma, but don’t you think it would be better if you told me?
Suddenly I was embarrassed at my egotistical assumptions and I was afraid, actually afraid to open my mouth because I knew I was acting foolish. Whatever we had felt was utterly real and I was screwing it up by being an idiot. It came out in a rush. I told him what I felt, honestly and completely, and I felt better when it was all out in the open.
Everett smiled, a wide, warm, gentle smile. “I’ve had much the same feelings,” he admitted. He reached for my hand, taking it gently between both of his, and I could feel his strength and his character flowing into me. “I don’t want to own you Telma, I believe I’m in love with you and I’d like a chance to spend more time with you. I love my own life and I’m not about to give up the travel or the joy and I don’t expect you to either.”
I rose and embraced him, with tears of happiness rolling down my cheeks. “My next mandatory break is a week from tomorrow, in St Thomas. Do you want to meet me there?”
“Nothing could keep me away,” Everett said… and he kissed me.
Did we meet again… We did. Did it last, sadly no. But then here I am, still flying, with my freinds and writing stories for you. And I have no doubt, I’ll meet someone like Everett again, on a flight. One day.
