Thank you for all the comments, good and bad, greatly appreciated and noted. For those who think this is a cuckold or interracial story it most certainly is not - it is first and foremost the love story of a naive couple who have struggled through the rigors of life and learn about another life they never knew existed...
*
They arrived at Gatwick Airport for their 19.50 flight to Bridgetown after a long and eventful journey. They had left home with ample time to check in within the obligatory minimum two and a half hours before departure but, due to an accident on the motorway, had been held up for two hours whilst the emergency services sorted things. Sarah had telephoned ahead to inform check in of the accident but they already knew, apparently someone else was held up in the same traffic. They checked in only half an hour before take-off and had no opportunity to look around the airport shops!
Once aboard they sat in their seats at the front of the economy section in the 747. David had paid for extra legroom seats at the check in and they had only been seated for a few minutes when one of the cabin staff interrupted them and told them they had been given the wrong seats in error. Sarah filled up, she was so stressed after all the worry of whether they would get to the airport on time she was about to burst into tears.
She looked at him with a look of absolute desolation.
'Oh, David......' She lamented, 'can anything else go wrong?'
'Everything will be ok' he replied, a silent anger building inside of him.
'......we'll just do as the lady asked and move.'
They dutifully followed the air stewardess further forward through the dividing curtain from economy to first class.
'Sir, Madam?' She smiled, 'we thought you might like an upgrade to first class courtesy of Virgin Atlantic?'
Sarah's jaw dropped open; her face a picture of disbelief.
'W....W...We, er, no we...er, can't afford that!'
'Oh no, Madam, there is no charge. We have full staff but only fifty per cent reservations, please, enjoy.'
'You, er, you, you mean?' She paused, 'you mean we get first class for economy money?'
'Yes madam, courtesy of Virgin Atlantic, enjoy your flight'
Once the 747 took off and the first round of food and drink had been served the same air stewardess enquired if everything was ok. She saw the look of adoration both Sarah and David gave each other and, when Sarah asked which way for the bathroom she replied with a twinkle in her eye.
'Will you be going together?'
'No, I can manage on my own' she replied, cocking her head toward the air stewardess and raising her left eyebrow curiously.
David smiled, and thought no one would notice them going together.
'I think she's wondering if we are going to join the club ......' He trailed waiting for her reaction.
Still blissfully ignorant Sarah asked, 'Do they have clubs on aeroplanes. Is that something like air miles club or one of those club lounges?'
'Err... there are frequent flyer clubs but somehow I don't think that was what she was talking about.'
'Well WHAT was she talking about then?'
'It's called the five mile high club. Only people who have made love in an aeroplane five miles above sea level can claim to be members.'
She looked at him still unaware of the meaning of what had been said to her.
'Oh yes' she replied, completely disbelieving him, '...and, mmm, where are the beds?'
'No beds, just the bathroom' he replied with a grin.
Realisation drifted over her face, her eyes rolled around in their sockets, 'you mean?' she stuttered, '..... you mean two people make love in the bathroom in a full aeroplane. You are, of course, joking?
'Mmm....no' he smiled, 'you fancy?'
'No!' she replied quickly but then surveyed him with a questioning look for what seemed like an age,
'You're serious, aren't you?
David just raised his eyebrows and smiled.
'is that something you would like to do?'
'Well, er, yes actually, it would. In fact it's so long since we made love I would try it anywhere. I know the operation took it out of you but I get so hard looking at you I often have to take matters in hand just to relieve myself.'
'How often?'
'Often!'
She leaned over to him and kissed him tenderly on the lips.
'I'm over that now.'
As the full realisation of what she had just said sank in she interrupted his thoughts and told him she was cold and needed a blanket. She snuggled up to him and, when he covered her with the blanket, she took his hand and placed it between her legs. He could immediately feel the heat emanation from her, she was on fire.
'You need to go to the rest room?'
She quickly whispered into his ear, 'Oh no, I want you to make love to me when we arrive and in a proper bed...I can't wait to feel you inside of me'.
'We could always join that club?'
'Er, no....' she replied, thoughtfully, 'it's been such a long time since, well...since we made love I would like us to take our time and in a proper bed.' She could see his feigned disappointment and quickly added, '....but maybe we could try it on our way back?'
'I think I would like that.' A broad grin descended over his face, 'I think I would like that a lot.'
After the almost nine hour flight they landed in a rather cool Bridgetown, light rain fell to ground as they left the terminal with their cases.
'Delaney?' A voice shouted from the waiting crowd, 'Mr & Mrs Delaney?'
'Here!' shouted David, his attention drawn to a tall, thin dark skinned man with yellowy teeth. 'Where do you want our cases?'
'Mon, just leave dem dar nd ah will sart dem.'
As soon as the formalities of checking paperwork, the cases loaded and all the other guests were safely seated on the old Routemaster bus their guide turned and spoke to them.
'Good evenin an wel - come to Barbados. My name is Charles and ah will be your guide to Holetown, it should take about an hour an twenty minutes to get there. Any ting you need to know. Just ask. Ah am at your service. As it's the middle of the night there will be a welcome meeting at four tirty today in recepshan an that's PM, not am'
The holidaymakers gently chuckled.
David smiled inwardly, there was no chance they would make that meeting. He had other plans and they didn't include leaving the room for at least twenty four hours.
As they drove north through the tight, winding, pot holed streets David tried to make out the surroundings and occasionally saw the odd person sitting on a dimly lit veranda watching the world go by but eventually it was too dark so he rested his weary eyes in the shadowy confines of the bus. He was brought back to reality when he felt something gently move over his groin, he looked down, it was Sarah's hand.
'Resting, darling?' she whispered into his ear.
'Mmm' he replied, contented.
'Good, you're going to need all the rest you can get!'
After about an hour and a half of stopping at various hotels and apartments they arrived at theirs and were quickly given the keys to their room after David signed in and left credit card details. Like two lovers on their first time together they walked hand in hand as they followed behind the porter carrying their cases to their second floor room. He opened the door, showed them around the facilities turned on the air conditioning then left, closing the door behind him.
Sarah turned to face David.
For a long moment they looked at each other. David held her hands in his.
'You know, David, I didn't want to come here because I didn't think I was ready. When it dawned on me what that air hostess was saying about the bathroom I had visions of you making love to me and I had a tingling sensation,' she paused, 'a sensation I haven't felt for such a long, long, time. I wanted you like I want you now. I can't tell you how much I love you. I bless the day I ever met you every day of my life; your patience, your understanding -- I can't live on this earth without you. I love you.'
David surveyed Sarah, a tear lightly trickled down his cheek.
'I love you so much' he whispered.
