As I boarded the airplane, I felt disappointment of the possibility of missing David’s call. My flight was moved up an hour so I have to shut my phone off. Taking my seat, I grin over the fact that I got the window seat. Thankful that I took my Damamine, I feel confident that I won’t get airsick…at least I hope not. My butterflies are in full force as the plane moves quickly down the runway and we are off. I giggle softly at the ticklish feeling I got as we lift off of the ground. I look out the window and let out a sigh. I had a wonderful time on an island full of dreamy nights and a man whom I fell in love with. So much the fantasy, but totally a reality. I recline my seat as the caution lights go out and the flight attendants start coming down the aisle offering refreshments and our meals. My leg muscles and a few in my back are a little sore from our hike and from the fall in the shower. I’m half tempted to get some alcohol beverages to knock me out for the rest of the flight, but since I would never do that anywhere or any other time…why do it now? I eat my meal slowly and after it’s out of the way, I take out my cellphone. Checking to see if he called, I see that he didn’t. I feel like I’m just full of sighs as I turn it off and take out my CD player. I open my CD case and pull out Moulin Rouge. I began to giggle, remembering that David was in this movie and he had dressed as a woman…a cross dresser…a transvestite. Audrey? I love the film and love the soundtrack…mostly Ewan MacGregor’s and Nichole Kidman’s singing. I close my eyes and let myself be transported into the music. I softly began to sing to myself. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ After landing and waiting in Los Angeles for two hours, I was ready for the last leg of my trip home. Stopping at the gift shop, I couldn’t help myself. I squealed with delight when I saw the new Beanie Babies Lamb that was sitting in a display near the entrance. It’s one of the few indulgences I will actually allow myself. One other major purchase that I make once in a while are Sketchers. Most of what I have in the closet are Sketchers, whether it be athletic, casual, or dress shoes…they have to be Sketchers. I catch my reflection in a mirror near the T-shirts. I look nice today. I chose a tight Crimson V-neck with half sleeves. My Stone low riding Cargo pants are belted with a inch-wide distressed brown leather belt and antiqued buckle. I’m also wearing my brown Sketchers Jammers and Crimson trouser socks. I have my hair pulled back from my face with a thin Crimson ribbon, while letting the rest of my hair hang down my back. I’d tell you that I was wearing a Crimson bra and thong, but I’m not. My Victoria Secret lace demi-cup bra and matching bikini panties are my standard. **I wish that he could have seen me. I dressed this way for him, even though I knew he was already gone. I even wore the perfume he gave me. Michael.** I found that as the days grew with my relationship, I was dressing for David. I wanted him to be pleased and this would please me as well when I looked at his reaction. I wanted to be my best around him. After purchasing my baby lamb, I place it in my bag. As I’m about to leave for my gate, I spot a copy of People Magazine. It has a picture of David on the cover. I snatch it up and buy it. Walking quickly to the gate, I wait patiently for my turn to board. I always feel nervous about being on time for a plane. I can’t be late for this. As I stand here, I have to resist the temptation of reading my magazine. It’s eating away at me. I want to have something to get me through a little of my flight…so I must resist… **Resistance is Futile.** Rings through my thoughts and I giggle as I make a humorous attempt to get me in a good mood. I love the Star Trek: The Next Generation and the four movies that came from it. I found it fascinating…space travel…the situations that the crew of The Starship Enterprise got themselves into. That Data is hilarious! When he got his emotion chip…I think it was in Star Trek Generations…he was so funny! Looking around I see a couple of people looking at me and whispering. I begin to feel self conscious at the attention, however subtle it is. I turn to check myself. **Maybe I have a piece of food on me? A bugger hanging from my nose? My fly open? Was I laughing outloud?** I think as I brush over my clothing. I just smile back hoping there wasn’t anything wrong with me. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
