one ~ an interesting first meet

~ Hania ~

Flight number BA 077, from LHR to BOM will be taking off in about 15 minutes. All the passengers are asked to board immediately.

Hearing the announcement, I quickly ran past the crowds. Barely being polite as I pushed and shoved through the crazy crowds. 

First of all, I'm late for the flight as always! Secondly, damn these British rains!

Finally, I got past the boarding gates and got on the plane. Before anyone assumes anything, no, I'm not someone who could fly in the business class. However, since the magazine company where I'm interning, they have arranged this trip. Hence, I got a chance to fly in the business class. 

Although, by the time I reached there I was sure that I looked like an absolute mess. Literally, a mess as I walked through the aisles, and got to my seat. 

" You're wet. " I almost jumped at the sudden deep voice I heard. 

I turned around, and Holy Shit! 

Unruly dark-brown hair, intense eyes, and artfully craved pair of lips, and a structured face and jawline were all that registered in my mind. I blinked a few times and stared numbly at the gorgeous man beside me. His beautiful hazel eyes bored in mine and the natural light pink lips vigorously complemented his tan complexion.

" Umm, excuse me? " I manage to stutter out.

" You're fully wet. Been out in the rain? " He asked. 

" Umm, yes. I wasn't actually expecting the sudden downpour. Definitely not dressed for it, nor did I carry an umbrella. " I replied and laughed nervously. 

Breaking the eye contact he smiled at me as if he is amused at my reaction. 

" You'll catch a cold. " He said trying to avoid looking at me.

I kind of felt embarrassed and looked at my own state. My white one-piece dress was not helping the situation at all. It had become transparent and was sticking to me like a second skin. I quickly took out my cardigan and wrapped it around myself.

The cabin crew then carried out the safety instructions, and soon we were high up in the sky.

" By the way, I'm Aryan. " He casually spoke out. 

" I'm Hania, nice to meet you. " I said back and managed a smile.

" So, do you live here in London? " Aryan asked not once breaking the eye contact.

I don't know why, but I felt so unsettled under his gaze. It felt overwhelming.

" Not really. I have just been here for work purposes. I've just completed Journalism, and I'm interning under a company. " I explained. 

" Oh! So, what do you write about? " Aryan asked as he brought his hand under his chin and smiled.

Not going to lie, but for a split second, I was distracted by his long fingers moving along the side of his face. Also, I noticed those veins popping out on his hand and palm. Damn! This guy workouts a lot!

What the hell is wrong with me?

" Well, people. I write about everyday people who make a city like London, New York. Their views and likes, yeah that's all. " I tried to resonate.

I tried being more the professional Hania, rather than the one who is currently obsessing over his perfect jawline.

" What about your views and likes? " Aryan continued his interrogation. 

" Oh, I make sure at the end of each article the reader gets a full-on idea of what exactly I like and my view. " I replied with a smile, as sweetly as possible.

Well, you see I'm known for being very vocal about my sentiments in my articles. Reason number 98231 why my boss hates me; but it is what it is. You can never bribe or persuade me to write the other way.

Aryan let out a laugh, and it was almost musical. 

Suddenly the plane jerked and my hand fell on top of his and I felt an almost electrical frisson pass through at that small touch. He gasped audibly and my eyes widened a fraction more than they should. Yes, he felt it as well.

Therefore, I quickly cleared my throat and looked away, and withdrew my hand. Although I could still feel his gaze on me.

He continued the conversation, and I realized that he is clearly interested. I groaned inwardly as I realized I have to endure this pull of shameless attraction throughout the whole 10 hours flight.
