I'm traveling for work out of the country. This trip is meant to be not only a work retreat, but it's also a chance to clear my head after a nasty breakup. I put my carry on bag in the overhead compartment and turn to find my seat. "Oh sorry" a voice says from behind me as a body bumps into my back. I look up to see a tall and extremely handsome gentleman staring down at me.His eyes are like two shimmering pools of blue water. I suddenly realize that I've forgotten how to breathe. He smells of crisp clean linen and an oceanesque cologne. "It's um...it's okay" I mutter at a loss for words. His chiseled features look like that of an ancient god. My eyes trace over his muscular shoulders and torso. I suddenly realize that my hand is flat against the middle of his chest from where I caught myself from falling into him.
"Oh! Now, I'm sorry!" I say quickly pulling my hand away. "It's no problem at all, it was my fault actually. I believe I stumbled into you, my apologies!" He says politely.
*oh that accent! SWOON!*"I'm just looking for my seat" I inform him. "As am I, where are you located?" He asks holding his ticket up next to mine. "I'm in 4A what about you?" I ask. "I'm in 4C" he says with a smile. "Same row! How about that!" He then grins. "I believe we're right here" I say turning around. He follows me to my seat. "Aisle or window?" He asks. "Oh you're the window seat." I inform him.
"If you prefer the window, I'd gladly switch" he says. "Actually, that would be nice" I say with a polite grin. "I prefer the aisle anyway, there's more leg room" he says with a smile. Just as we take our seats another woman puts her bag in the compartment overhead next to mine then looks at her ticket. Her eyes quickly dart down to the handsome gentleman on the end.
She quickly gets a smirk on her face as he makes eye contact with her.
