Keene pulled away, bottom lip glossy from my lip gloss, and turned.
I blinked, surprised to find the flight attendant there with her cart.
We were in the air!
How had I missed that?
“What can I get you two lovebirds to drink?” she asked.
I felt my face flush before saying, “Oh. Just water for me, please.”
“Water for me, too,” Keene said. “Thank you.”
The flight attendant poured both of us nearly full glasses and placed them on our TV trays, then left, moving to the older folks behind us.
My face still felt hot when he said, “Let me know if you need distracting anymore during our flight.”
I felt my lips tip up at the corner. “We hit turbulence, and I’ll be in your lap.”
His eyes gleamed as he said, “I’ve never wished for turbulence in my life, but here I am… wishing desperately for it.”
I opened my mouth, then closed it, unsure what to say.
I did know that the idea of my ass being in his lap was incredibly exciting.
But he was right. I’d never wished for turbulence before, either, yet there I was.

It happened an hour and a half into our flight.
The lights were dimmed because we were on a red eye. The old people at our backs had all finished their bathroom breaks over thirty minutes ago. And they were all nicely ensconced in their chairs with the lights out throughout the cabin.
Keene and I were leaned together, sharing an ear bud, and watching Die Hard.
“Christmas movie or not?” Keene asked.
I snorted. “Christmas movie. Just as much as Home Alone.”
He knocked my fist with his and was just pulling back when there was a slight bump.
My heart lurched, and before I could think ‘oh, shit’ the plane evened out.
For the next ten minutes, we whispered quietly about the movie. Our thoughts on why the two lovebirds had split up, and whether or not they got back together after the movie ended.
“How do you feel about love?” I asked curiously.
He cleared his throat and answered. “I think it’s great… for everyone else that isn’t me.”
My brows rose at that. “Really? Why?”
“Because life never really works out the way you expect it to,” he admitted. “Every one of my sisters had to work so hard at love… I’m just not so sure it’s worth all the heartache. Not to mention…”
