It had been awhile since he was last in the city. Even though his family and life were in another place going to this city was going home. He knew the sights, the smells, the sounds... it was wonderful. Just a little longer of sitting here in the Paris airport and then he would be airborne again...
He let his eyes wonder around the waiting area. It was early and there were not too many people around so he passed the time making up silly stories about each person he looked at. Suddenly he felt like he was being watched so he quickly scanned the thin crowd. There she was, sitting two rows over and almost in the corner. He would never have seen her, or maybe she would have been someone he would have just overlooked. But he was noticing her now. Maybe it was because of the intensity of her stare. As soon as he made eye contact with her she smiled. Her smile reached her eyes and they seemed to twinkle... like she had a secret.
For some reason he found himself smiling back. She tilted her head slightly to the empty seat next to her and he took that for the invitation it was. Picking up his briefcase and laptop he moved toward her.
After settling in the seat, he turned towards her and smiled, saying "Hi, I'm..." when her fingers quickly brushed up against his lips, cutting of his sentence. In a low voice that sent shivers through him she said she was off on an adventure. There was so much mystery in the world to discover and she wanted him to be some of that mystery. All he could think of at the moment was how different she was. She appeared so ordinary, yet at the same time there was this air about her that suggested that there was so much more to her then met the eye. Her eyes were blue and her hair a longish red/brown color. Her skin was nice, very fair, with a dusting of freckles. The longer he looked at her the more he realized that she really wasn't ordinary looking at all. In fact, the more he looked the more he liked and the more he liked the broader his smile became.
They talked for awhile, just idle chatter about the cities they had both been to and what they liked best about them. He really liked the way she held eye contact with him. At times he was tempted to ask her what she was really thinking, but he knew that would be rude so he didn't. It came as a surprise when their flight was called to board. First Class was called first and as he got up he told her it was such a pleasure talking and he hoped she enjoyed her flight. She replied, "Oh, I'm sure I will and I know you will too". With a smile he started to walk away. One last look back and he caught her licking her lips... much like a cat does after the first taste of cream. He felt a flush rise as he walked onto the plane.
As he settled in his seat and got his first drink he smiled to himself and started to fantasize what being with her would have been like. He guessed that she was a very flirtatious type. That even if they had been seat mates nothing would have come of what he was beginning to fantasize about. He leaned back and closed his eyes and let his mind wander. He didn't allow himself to wander to far because he knew the bulge in his pants would become noticeable and... well... that could be a problem. The flight would be a long one, international flights always were. After take off drinks were served again. One of the perks of flying first class... good booze. After a rather nice dinner and yet another drink he asked for a blanket as the cabin lights dimmed for the movie and to allow others to sleep if they chose.
The three drinks had given him quite a buzz. He leaned his seat back and really settled in. His seat was on the last row of first class. No seat mate this flight, which was rather nice. He knew he would enjoy the time to himself. He could relax with thoughts of her drifting in his mind. It was rather dark now and the blanket hid his growing erection.
