Beyond The Horizon!

Chapter 26: Mile High Club!

(Mature Language 18+; Mature Scene; Triple Update: Chapter 25, 26 and 27)

"Welcome Madam!"

Mahima smiled softly looking at the air hostess who greeted her with a bright smile playing on her face. To say Mahima was totally impressed and smitten by the way that girl looked would be such an understatement.

She wondered if she was naturally beautiful or was it the magic of make-up. Either way, she loved how this girl or for that matter how women worked risking their lives every single minute. She was happy and proud; so proud!

Just the way the kids wanted, Eric did select window seats for them while getting their boarding passes a few hours back. Well, that was not it. Charlotte always wanted a window seat and considering it was Mahima's first time too, he got a window seat for her as well.

Like every other time, Ankit sat with Rowan and Kirti sat with Ruby. While Charlotte sat with Xavier, obviously Mahima sat with Eric.

"Are deva! He khup chaan ahe!" (Oh my god! This is so nice!)

Mahima chirped like a little excited baby looking at the flight interior and enjoying the cosy little feeling in her heart while Eric was busy putting their hand luggage in the cabin above. Chuckling softly, he squeezed her cheeks ever so lovingly saying, "I am glad you are having a good time sweetheart. I can do anything to see you smile."

Feeling her eyes tearing up, she bit her lower lip trying to swallow the lump in her throat while he pulled her into his arms and whispered, "I love you!"

"I love you too!"

"What is she doing?"

Mahima asked looking at the airhostess who was enacting the safety instructions on how to put on a seat belt, how to use the oxygen mask and how to put on a life jacket in case of an emergency.

Crossing his arms across his chest, Eric inhaled deeply and explained everything about the safety instructions while the airhostess continued her task. To say Mahima's heart stopped and dropped into her stomach would be just nothing.

Gasping loudly, she cupped her mouth and muttered, "Are deva! Apan samudrath padun melot tar?" (Oh my god! What if we fall in the sea and die?)

Now how was supposed to keep quiet when his innocent wife was scared to death?

Wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he pulled her close to him and cupped her face with his palm. Looking into her eyes deeply, he tenderly caressed her lower lip and said, "I will never let anything happen to you. Let what may happen! You are my life and things have to pass through me to come to you."

As his words made total sense to her and tears streamed down her cheeks, he wiped them tenderly and shook his head as if asking her not to cry.

Throwing her arms around his neck, she buried her face into his chest and chanted, "I love you!"

"Don't worry, we will be fine!"

Eric said placing his hand over hers as the flight increased its speed on the runway while she exhaled deeply and spoke, "I am not scared. I enjoy. I like this."

For sure her heart was pounding inside her chest but she wasn't scared, she was excited feeling the little butterflies playing in her stomach.

And why not? This was a wonderful experience for her. Even more than the roller coaster ride at Imagica.

And as seconds ticked by and the flight's pace increased more, she bit her lower lip enjoying the tingling feeling coursing through her body.

Chuckling softly, he interlocked their fingers and kissed the top of her head while she giggled like a little girl enjoying the bubbling happiness and the dancing butterflies in the pit of her stomach as the flight finally left the runway and flew up in the sky.
