Fly with me


Fly with me

    So won't you fly with me
    I want to make you feel all right
    All right with me
    Let me mend your broken wings
    And set you free girl
    It's all right
    Girl can't you see

    "Have you ever seen Pearl Harbor at sunset?" I asked Evelyn.
    "Sure lots of times," She answered.
    "No, I mean from the air." I said.
    "No why?" She asked confused.
    I grinned," Come on. Let me show you something then."
    I got in to the plane and reached out a hand to help Evelyn up. She grabbed my hand and I pulled her up. She sat down next to me and smoothed out her skirt. I could see she was still somewhat confused.
    "Don't worry," I reassured her.
    I flicked on the switch to start up the engines. With a muted roar they came to life and the plane began to vibrate. I pushed the lever down to start the plane moving. It started rolling down the runway smoothly. It quickly gathered speed and with a slight thrust we were in the air.
    Let me take you to a place
    That you've never seen
    Never been on a dreamGirl I promise that you'll never hurt again
    And I can make you feel the world belongs to you
    You're the one all I need
    And you know that it's true

    I heard Evelyn's gasp of pleasure as we went over the ocean. The colors of twilight in the sky were reflected in the water.
    "It's like someone spilled a bunch of paint all over the water and sky," she said her eyes wide with awe.
    "It's beautiful isn't it." Though at that moment I saw something thing else just as beautiful as the sunset.
    She nodded," I can see why you like flying so much." She replied.
    " Have you ever flown before?" I asked.
    "Yes, my father used to take me flying a few times. Please don't do that rolly thing he always did."
    "You mean don't barrel." I made the plane twist in midair as I said the words.
    She shrieked in surprise.
    Grinning I righted the plane.
    She whacked me gently on the arm, "don't do that again!"
    "You mean this?" I asked doing another barrel.
    "Danny!"
    "All right I'll stop."
    Let me turn your night to day
    Let me be the one who brings in the sun
    I know it must be hard to see things clear
    But baby you've got nothing to fear, oh no
    Together we'll touch the moon and kiss the sky
    Make you feel how I feel when I look in your eyes oh yeah

    We flew silently for a few moments just watching and enjoying the sunset. Finally, it began to get dark. "I better bring her in now." I said turning the plane around to head toward base.
    "Thank you I had a wonderful time," Evelyn said softly.
    I smiled,"you're most welcome. Anytime."
    I gently brought the plane in for a landing. The plane touched the ground softly with a gentle bump as its tires touched ground. It rolled to a smooth stop. As the roar of the engines died away I heard someone shout," the planes should have been in atleast an hour ago!"
    Not wanting to get caught I helped Evelyn quickly out of the plane.
    "The parachute hanger," I whispered pointing in the direction of it.
    She nodded and took off in the direction I had indicated with me following closely.
    As we entered the hanger I lost sight of her as she ducked behind a pile of parachutes. I followed her in. We hid admist the parachutes not wanting to be found. I realized my heart was pounding with excitement. Then with a start I realized how close we were. Our bodies were almost touching.
    "My heart's pounding," I told her.
    She gently placed a hand on my chest over my heart. The few inches that separated us vanished. She looked up at me and met my eyes. I lost myself in her eyes. Drowning in pools of brown.
    The first touch of her lips against mine was tentative. Hesitant. Then as if something had been awoken in her she kissed me harder...with more passion. With sadness. With longing. A longing to be loved. To be wanted. To be held. I wanted to make that longing go away. To make the pain and sadness vanish from her eyes. To erase the past and start anew with the future.
    I kissed her back not wanting this moment to end. Tangled amongst the parachutes time stood still for us.
    All I need in my life
    Is you by my side girl
    Let me be the one To hold you close You're hand in mine girl
    And together we'll fly.
