Every Woman's Dream... But You.

Fourteen

3 seats on either side of the aisle means I sit with the girls but I can already see they'll be moving to sit with the other children once the seatbelt sign goes off.
True to my prediction, the second the seatbelt sign went off, they're gone and I move in my seat to get comfortable and nap. It's an 8 hour flight and we'll arrive by dinner time so plenty of time to catch a nap before lunch is served.
Thankfully we're in first class seats so they're comfortable & large.
I close my eyes and as I begin to drift off I feel someone sit down beside me. I sleepily glance across and see Tom doing the same, getting comfortable to sleep.
"The girls have taken over my aisle. Is this ok?" He whispers.
"Sure." I smile and close my eyes again.

I sleep for almost 3 hours and when I wake, I see Tom still fast asleep beside me. I shift to lay on my side slightly so I can look at him.
He's really stunning, I don't know why a man like him hasn't settled down already or why he's interested in me.
I just know I can't have my heart broken again. Maybe he's worth it? I muse, we did have an amazing time together. I bite my lip and remember his mouth on mine, my gaze drops lower, his hands were... and his...
"It's rude to stare." Tom smirks and makes me jump. I blush furiously and make a move to sit up.
"Don't stop though." I freeze as he uses one finger to brush over the back of my hand. It's a very small gesture but I think this man is actually driving me crazy, I've never been this horny before and it's embarrassing!
I squirm in my chair but don't move my hand away so he sets his hand next to mine so they're touching but almost accidentally.
I feel like I can barely breath.
"Did you sleep well?"
"I really did. Surprisingly comfortable."
"Me too." I glance at him and see him watching me like he wants to devour me. It's intoxicating and I gasp silently.
"Friends." I whisper to him and sit up in my chair. I turn to face him and he stays sat in his chair, watching me as I slide past him to get to the aisle.
A brief thought about him pulling me down onto his lap passes my mind and I scald myself for my lack of self control.
"You had a good sleep? You look pretty flustered." Nikki said as I flop down in the chair next to her.
"The sleep was good." I let a small sly grin spread on my face.
"Oh really. I noticed Tom sleeping next to you." She grinned.
"Yeah literally asleep though." I defend myself unnecessarily.
"Are you sticking to friends?" She snorts in disbelief.
"Yes. Why?"
"I've just never seen two people with more chemistry than you two."
"Life's about more than chemistry." I sigh.
"You'll never know unless you try."
"I'm not being broken again. I can't."
"Ok, I get it. Don't take too long to realise he's genuine and really into you though."
I bite my lip and glance back at him but he's not there. I finally spot him flirting with two women, his eyes meet mine & a spasm of jealousy hits me, I turn back round in my chair in a huff. Nikki looks back at what I had seen and grins.
"They're lesbians, they're married." Nikki whispers in my ear.
"Bloody hell, what is wrong with me." I groan and sink down in my chair.

I spend the rest of the flight avoiding him as much as I can and that meant using my nieces as shields. Finally we land and it's time for dinner, we've arranged for everyone to have room service so they can settle into their new accommodations.
The complex we're staying in was specially designed for this as they have a lot of filming locally.
The building is huge and it's got 50 apartments in it. Another building across the street is identical.
4 apartments on each floor and I knew we had a top floor apartment along with Ian and Nikki who were opposite us, Tom was next to them and Ryan and Blake were next to me.
Jen and Cooke had an apartment on the ground floor since they had a newborn, the stairs were the last thing they wanted to be negotiating!
There's a large supermarket nearby and the complex has a swimming pool with indoor and outdoor heated pools, spa, saunas, health centre where you can get a variety of treatments & a gym.
We're right next to the beach too and the complex has a section that's private.
Trolleys are stacked with suitcases and I show people to their apartments. Finally going up to my own where Esther and Aria are already unpacking. Tom had volunteered to take them whilst I worked and I agreed, just to get them all from under my feet more than anything but now I'm nervous to see him again.
"Hey, the girls have chosen their rooms." Tom laughed as we hear whoops and cheers.
"Let me guess. I've got the smallest one."
"No, I told them the en-suite with the queen size bed was yours." He grins.
"Ok, your the last person I have to settle in so have you seen your apartment yet?"
"Not really, I just dumped my bags in the doorway and came here.
"Girls, I'll be across the hall, back in a few minutes, don't leave and don't destroy anything." I shouted to them and led Tom to his place.
"Your call sheet. Nothings planned for tomorrow, we start work on Monday." I hand him some papers and he grazes his hand against mine.
"Want to watch a film tonight?" He asks quietly.
"Depends what film." I laugh. He walks to the wall of dvds and ponders.
"Moulin Rouge?"
"Yeah ok. I'll sort the girls some dinner and be right back."
"Why don't they come too?"
"Oh sure, I'll ask, I'm not sure they'll be too interested though." I walk out, leaving him alone to get to know his new home.
