As Brad boarded the aircraft he managed a fake smile and a nod to the overly cheerful flight attendant. After throwing his backpack in the overhead compartment, he fell into his window seat and pulled out his phone to check the e-mail account he and Eliza set up. He wanted another look at the photos that they had taken together. He missed her immensely. Although he promised himself that he would not allow her into his heart, she easily managed to secure a large portion of it. That portion is now a big black hole in his heart. The separation was not easy on either of them, but had to be done in order for her to move on to the bigger and better things he knew she would achieve. She also needed a man that she could keep forever and that was not possible in their relationship.
It was suppose to have been all about sex, but it rarely is in a relationship that goes on for months and then over a year. He pulled out his i-phone and opened up the first photo and examined her long blond hair and shapely body. Brad closed his eyes and easily recalled the feeling of her soft hair as he ran his fingers through it. Why was he torturing himself he thought as his heart sunk deeper in his chest? He opened the second photo that showed off her perfectly round butt. Most men first noticed her large breasts but Brad was drawn first to her crystal blue eyes and, when she turned around, her toned legs and perfect ass. Enough suffering, no need to agonize over the rest of the photos of the two of them in various stages of undress.
Brad turned off his phone and looked up to see a brunette throwing her bag in the overhead and then taking the aisle seat. She paid him no attention to him at all, not even a smile. Brad thought about how Eliza would tell him that he was handsome and just about every girl checked him out. He was in great shape for his age and was described by Eliza as handsome. Well the brunette certainly wasn't one of those women he thought. It wasn't long before the plane pushed back and they were rolling down the runway becoming airborne. Brad didn't sleep well the night before and counted on getting some sleep on the flight. He dozed off every now and then and before he knew it they had landed. Brad grabbed his bag, gave another forced smile and nod to the flight attendant and deplaned.
He made his way through the masses in the terminal to baggage claim. As he waited for the carousel to start he looked around at the crowd and identified some very attractive women. The desire for Eliza to hold him and make love to him was heavy on his mind and he wondered if there was another woman out there with Eliza's charm and sexuality. The buzz of the carousel startled him and Brad became focused on looking for his bag. As he watched the luggage drop onto the belt he felt two arms wrap around his waist. His immediate reaction was to grab the hands before they became clasped and in control of his body but Brad immediately identified the hands as feminine and recognized a familiar ring on the right ring finger. Eliza?? He slowly turned finding her standing there behind him. In shock he just stood there looking at her for what seemed like an eternity.
"Well," Eliza said. "You going to say hello or something? And I am stressing the 'something'!" With Brad still in a state of shock, Eliza took it upon herself to say hi and while on her toes, wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a big kiss. No response.
"Annie, Annie, are you ok?" Eliza said laughing at the initial step to access the consciousness of a person learned in first aid courses. "Quick, go for help." she said as she laughed displaying her glistening white teeth.
In no time Brad wrapped his strong arms around her luscious body and returned her kiss, tasting the Sweet-mint Orbits gum she always indulged in. While almost squeezing the life out of her, he held onto her as if she had just saved him from a burning building. As their lips pressed together - igniting further the hidden passion that they had for each other. Brad picked her up and swung her around. With his eyes closed, Brad cherished the feeling once again of her body against his. He didn't want to release her but after a long minute Eliza's two feet were back on the ground. Brad broke the kiss and released her from his vice like arms.
Happily surprised, Brad asked "What are you doing here?"
"I am picking you up." Eliza replied with her beautiful smile.
Although Brad heard her words they did not register as he was so absorbed with her pretty blue eyes and her beautiful face. Eliza snapped her fingers twice.
"Earth to Brad, earth to Brad! Grab your luggage and follow me."
