Becoming a member of the mile high club was the furthest thing from my mind as the plane unexpectedly descended a few feet through the clouds.. The drop had become to much for my stomach as it rode heavy in my chest. My fingers gripped the arm rest and my eyes clinched tighter as it all made me nervous.

“Tee, its going to be all right. The pilot is just trying to avoid turbulence,” she soothed.

Everything was going to be all right? I thought for sure this was it. This was how I was going to die.

“Baby, loosen your hands. Theyre turning whiter than they already are,” she laughed.

She was laughing. She was laughing. I didnt think this was a laughing matter. I didnt like flying. Ive never liked flying. I always drove to wherever I was going if I could. I didnt see why we could drive to where we were going for our honeymoon.

“Do you know how long that would take, Tina?” she said to me when I suggested it.

“Couldnt be any longer than the drive I made to Florida from Nebraska.”

“Smart *****,” she called me.

I smiled.

“Tina, flying would be faster and easier. I dont want to worry about a car when Im on my honeymoon with my beautiful wife,” she said wrapping her arms around my waist.

She smiled her seductive I want to eat you alive smile. The one Im never able to resist.

She pulled me in closer and nibbled on my bottom lip.

“Babe,” I moaned.

“Hmmm?”

The vibration of her voice alone had almost done me in.

“Do we have to fly?”

“Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, due to severe turbulence up ahead I ask that you fasten your seatbelts and returned your trays to their upright positions.“

“Oh god,” I moaned.

I had never undid my seatbelt so I was safe. I heard the click of hers.

“Baby,” she began touching my cheek, “I know that youre scared right now…but I promise you nothing is going to happen.”

I sighed wishing that that was true. I didnt want anything to happen. I just wanted to be in the hotel laying next to my wife.
