The Flight
 
    "Do you trust me?"  he said, holding out his hand.
    "Isn't that a line from 'Aladdin'?"
    "Just answer the question."
    I looked at him...trying to decide.  His eyes were so blue they nearly pierced the soul, his hair like spun gold.  Taking in the big picture, I saw all his beauty and his...WINGS?!?!?!?!
    "Well?" he asked.
    I thought for a moment longer, looking again at his wings.  They look so fragile, sparkling  in the moonlight like thousands of diamonds.  He seems so confident, I wonder what he's planning.  I've trusted him before, so tonight shouldn't be any different.
    As if he read my mind, he leaned forward and took my hands in hisGoddess, I never realized  his grip was this strong.
    "Put your hands on my shoulders," he said, loosening his grasp.
    As I put my hands in place, his arms wrap abound my waise lifting me slightly.
    "Hold on."  This said, he shot sraight up.  As the wind rushed past me, my arms tightened about him.
    "We're f-flying!!!"
    He looked at me, smiled, and said, "Relax, you trust me."
    OK, yeah, I trust him.  I trust him with my life, but we're FLYING.
