Inkeri

Fruit

She has not stopped fantasizing about kissing him since he sat next to her. What is it about his jawline and his soft brown eyes? He has been sitting there with an inquisitive look in his eyes waiting for an answer. "Shit. What did he need? Did he ask something?" she sits nervously. "Um... sorry," she states softly. Why can't she focus on his questions? Danny then snaps her back into reality again. "Darling, everything ok?" "Gomen ne" she states in her best anime voice looking up through her lashes. Danny sits up and laughs. Did she really say "sorry" to him in that voice? "Wow, very nice" he nods approvingly. He then asks her the question again, "hotel or dinner first?" As she starts to say hotel, her stomach betrays her with a loud growling sound. When was the last time she ate? he thinks as his nose flares. "Last night" she says softly anticipating his question. "It is six in the evening!" he states a little louder than he intended. She slides down in her seat embarrassed and stares at him wide-eyed. His face softens immediately. "Sorry darling, I really did not mean to raise my voice." He had really hoped she would have started taking better care of herself. "With all the excitement" she starts to say. He holds a finger to her lips. "It's ok. Let me see if I can get something from them" indicating to the flight staff. An exquisitely dressed flight attendant came over. "Can I help you?" they state in their southern accent. "Can we get have some fruit please?" "Will that be all?" they ask. "Yes, thank you." He looks at her "I don't want dinner to be ruined" he states curtly.

Reluctantly, she sits and eats the fruit. The fruit was good but she really was not in the mood to eat. She wanted something a little more enticing, her thoughts trail off when she looks at him. He is watching her every move making sure she is eating. "What about you?" she asks him. "I have eaten." His face is so intense. He then starts to get a menacing look in his eyes. "Oh no" she thinks bitterly to herself. This is not good. She knows she has to eat the fruit but it is not satisfying her appetite. She has been thinking about everything but eating since she has seen him in his cosplay. Blushing, she starts to put a slice of apple in her mouth and he stops her hand taking the apple. "Here" he states as he slides it over her lips and slowly inserts it into her mouth. Her heart skips a beat. How can an apple be so seductive? His actions have left her speechless. She grabs water and takes a drink, her mouth dry. There is another apple and she attempts to do the same thing to him. Grabbing her hand, he says "no." He then lifts a strawberry from the plate of fruit and feeds her. The last piece of fruit is the apple in her hand. Thinking to herself "two can play at this game" she starts to rub the apple on her lips and then slowly takes a bite. His eyes widen. "Darling, don't start something..." his voice trails off tantalizing her.

"Ladies and gentleman, we will be landing soon, the time is 7:30pm in Jacksonville and it is 73 degrees" the flight attendant interrupts his thoughts. She is looking flushed, a pale red hue in her cheeks and slowly shifting in the seat. "I know what you are thinking" he says warning her "we are going to dinner first" answering his own previous question. "What about the luggage?" she inquires. "Paul will handle it." Wait? Paul came with them? The plane lands smoothly. "Let's go" he starts to grab her hand and walk her to the exit. They were the first passengers to alight the plane. Paul is already standing there waiting for them when they arrived in the terminal. "How was your flight Danny?" Paul asks much more casual than she has ever heard him address Danny before. "It was fine but we need to get dinner before we go to the hotel" Danny states matter-of-factly. "Very well sir. I will get the luggage and meet you at the car. Please give me 15 minutes." Confused, she looks at Danny, "how did he get here before us?" "Corporate jet" he states again as if she was supposed to know he had one. "Why didn't we" she starts to say. Danny cuts her off, "I wanted to give you a first class experience" he states. Cocking his head to the side, he states it is the last time she will be on a commercial airline.

Apparently the luggage was in the jet so they did not have to wait at the baggage terminal. They stop long enough to get refreshments in the lounge and exit the airport. Paul is already waiting for them with another chauffer. The sleek black Audi RS Q8 engine was purring. She had always wanted a luxury car or SUV but never had the guts to purchase one for herself. Even though she was successful and had money, she had a problem with purchasing items for herself giving everyone else presents. This is who she was. Once again, Danny pulls her out of her internal thoughts, "Darling, please get in" he is holding the rear passenger door open. "Yes sir" she states as a joke. She cannot help but notice the smirk crossing his face. Laughing out loud, she suddenly thinks "target locked." "Something funny" he raises his eyebrows at her. "Nothing" she says quickly as she enters the SUV.
