The guy across from me actually blushes. The one in front snorts, and the woman across from him says, “Amen, sister.”
The flight attendant appears with a trolley of refreshments, a wide smirk on his face.Oh, he definitely listened to that conversation.“Thirsty?” he asks.
“Parched,” the woman declares, making us all laugh again as I stuff my electronic friend back in my bag.
I pull out my phone, opening the chat thread with Gail.
Ellie
I did it.
Gail
Context please.
Ellie
I had an honest conversation, an intimate one.
Gail
Where?
Ellie
On the plane.
Gail
About what?
Ellie
Sex. The guy next to me kept persisting in a conversation, so I gave in and conversed.
Gail
About sex?
Ellie
Yes. For the record, he also thought your instruction was to go have sex.
I smile as I imagine her muttering about me finding the one and only other person on the planet to take her instructions as literally as me.
Gail
*Face palm emoji* What was his take on it?
Ellie
Well, the woman in front of him joined in. She said find someone I have a spark with, then work on it to make the sex good.
Gail
Sound advice, but only when you are open enough to actually have an orgasm in front of another person.
I glance at the woman with the sleek bob who seems to have her personal shit together.
