Tina: Will you have a meal served on the flight home?

Bette:  Yes, four meals for us and three meals for the crew will be on board by the time we are.

Tina:  I’ve never seen the crew eat.

Bette: That’s because they usually wait until we are asleep to eat. The pilot and the co-pilot cannot eat at the same time. One eats while the other does the flying then the other one eats. And they actually are mostly on auto-pilot when they are eating.

Tina: I’m not sure I need to know all that. Come on, let’s go get comfortable. Thank you for dinner.

Bette: You are welcome. But you know that I am not going to allow my woman or my family to miss any meals. I don’t want to miss a meal myself. Look the beds are ready.

Tina: Do you want to undress or are you okay in your lounge suit?

Bette: I’m going to stay in my lounge suit. It gets a little chilly on these planes sometime. And I can’t snuggle close enough to you to benefit from that hot body.

Tina: Well, we will do what we can. Will you put my shoes up?

Bette: Sure, I’ll put them in this empty bin. I like the fact that we have a sheet and a blanket over us and a more standard pillow than commercial flights. Feels more normal.

Tina: Kiss me and get comfortable. Sleep well Sweetheart.

Bette kiss Tina and turned toward the window and Tina put her hand on Bette’s back as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. There was an area where the plane went through a little turbulence, but it did not last long. Tina paid close attention to Bette through it but noticed that Bette did not respond. Satisfied that Bette had slept through it, Tina drifted back to sleep.

By 4 am east coast time, Bette and Tina were checking into the hotel. They quickly got to their room, brushed their teeth, stripped off their clothes and got into the bed. They had time to sleep another four hours. The room was smaller and had a standard bathroom which was a tub and shower combination. It had two sinks in the bath. Bette did not bother to see what the view was out the window, as she knew that the four hours of plane sleep was simply not enough to function normally.
