A Divine Dane.

Chapter 1.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Ayana, happy birthday to you!"
As I heard those words I rolled over in my bed to see my mum stood at my door. I groaned, stretching out in the bed and then smiled and thanked her. She returned my smile and then told me to get out of bed and go down stairs. I did as I was told and went to the living room, waiting for my mum to follow me in.
A  few minutes later my mum came it with her hands behind her back, I raised my eyebrow at her.
"What's that?" I asked.
"It's your present."
"I told you not to get me anything, mum," I said, frowning at her.
"Oh shut it and just take it," my mum tutted. I laughed and accepted the envelope she had in her hand. I opened the envelope, a little confused at first to then realized what my mum had got me for my birthday. A plane ticket to Copenhagen! I was utterly dumbfounded, I just sat in shock.
"So, do you like your present or what Ayana?" my mum asked, grinning from ear to ear.
"I -I love it, thank you so much," I cried, "How did you even...?" I trailed off.
"Well, I knew you were saving up to go so I thought I would help, now you can use the money saved as spending money, and if I were you I would get it changed soon because you leave on Saturday!" My mum said brightly.
"Wait this Saturday?"
"Yes you muppit, it says it on the ticket. Happy 21st birthday!"
As she said this she gave me her usual bear hug.

Friday afternoon I was packing up in the classroom as the bell rang for the end off the day. I  waved my students goodbye, knowing that tomorrow morning I  would be on my way to Copenhagen. I rushed home as fast as I could and packed my suitcase, ensuring I had everything I needed. At  3:00 A.M my alarm screamed at me. I  wanted to press snooze but knew I couldn't if I needed to get to the airport on time. I quickly got washed and dressed then double checked my suitcase. Everything was sorted, I was ready to go. The taxi was waiting outside. I  said my goodbyes to my mum, knowing that it was thanks to her that I was going. As I walked off I  felt that little bit of homesickness you get before leaving home, I was away in the taxi and heading to the airport to Copenhagen for 2 weeks.

Not knowing that these 2 weeks would change my life.

I arrived at the airport at 3:45 and went to find my check in desk. I was all sorted by four o'clock, now I was just waiting for the well know tanoy to board the plane.
"5:30 all passengers boarding flight BA-815 to Copenhagen please make your way to gate 9 thank you!" The tinny voice rang out. I shot up and went straight to the gate, I couldn't hold in my excitement. As I boarded the plane I  looked at my ticket to find my seat number, I was sat in 26a yes I'm not sat next to the window! I went to my seat to see a man already sat at the window waiting to leave, I quickly placed my holdall in the over head compartment, as I  did this I felt eyes watching me. I looked down to see the gentleman who I would be sat next to staring at me his, eyes moving up and down my body, feeling unnerved I looked at him again and then realized who I was going to be sat next to.

"Need a hand with that?" he asked and I  smiled meekly at him and thanked him. He stood up so elegantly and stepped towards me. I  moved so he could help me put my bag away, he smiled at me as he shut the the compartment door. I couldn't help but stare at his lips as they moved so fluently with every word. His voice was low with an obvious accent. He waved his hand in-front of my face taking my eyes away from his lips and out of my day dream. I  looked up to see his eyes smoldering brown with hazel, the mixture of the two made me quiver as he looked into my eyes establishing a connection that I had never felt before.

"I'm Mads," he said politely as he held his hand out. I  saw his gesture and replied stuttering every word.
"I-I I'm Ayana," I put my hand in his and I felt my whole body surge with heat as he clutched my hand with a small squeeze, I.  saw a small glint in his eyes. "Nice to meet you Ayana," he maneuvered his way back into his seat, I was still in shock of how just one touch from his hand made me feel. He leaned over the elbow rest between the seats and asked if I was going to sit down. I  turned quickly to see him smiling at my reaction. I  blushed and apologized and took my seat. Mads was still looking at me as I sat down, I didn't know what to do so I turned to look at him, I returned his smile.
"Thank you for your help." I said.
"Not a problem Ayana, I  cant have a beautiful girl like yourself struggling now can I?" He replied.  I blushed immediately and looked down at my knotted fingers.
"I can tell by your reaction that you know who I am," Mads purred, watching my reactions. I felt nervous and yet excited at the same time, I replied quietly, "Yes of course, you're  Mads Mikkelsen,  your work is fantastic." I looked up at him as he smiled and turned to look out the window.
"Well thank you I'm glad you like my work."

The flight attendants had just finished their on flight safety routine and a tanoy was made ladies and Gentlemen thank you for choosing flight BA-815 today we will be departing in less then five minuets our estimated flight time is 1hour 55 minutes thank you again and enjoy the flight. I sat back in my chair still amazed that I was sitting next to undeniably one of the best actors I have ever watched not to mention his undeniable sex appeal. The engines roared into life as the plane started to move along the runway out of the corner of my eye a saw Mads stiffen in his seat his hand squeezing the elbow rest in between our seats. Without thinking I asked him if he wanted a sweet. He  looked at me with a raised eyebrow, I quickly answered to his expression,
"It will stop your ears from popping when the plane sets off." He smiled at me.
''That would be nice thank you Ayana."
My brain went into hyper drive! Mads Mikkelsen was sharing my sweets. I mentally slapped myself and got it together.I  handed him the bag of boiled sweets I had bought from the duty free,
"Take as many as you want and apologize in advance if you don't like any of them." I  smiled weakly at him. He placed his hand in the bag when I  looked at his hand my mind wondered what would it feel like to have that hand cup my face to trail down my back across my waist over my brea.... Mads spoke, suddenly I was out of my day dream.
"Thank you for the sweets they're really nice"!" he smiled at me and I melted. His eyes dove into mine and I couldn't control myself I giggled nervously and said
"You're welcome, feel free to help yourself."

Half an hour into the flight Mads reached for the bag of sweets again and I smiled internally, happy with myself that I could say Mads Mikkelsen had ate my sweets, sad I  know but to me this was amazing. I kept glancing over at Mads each time a little longer then the first I couldn't help but take in his beautiful features, his strong jaw line, his soft plump lips, his alpine cheekbones that captured your eyes instinctively when you look at him, those smoldering brown hazel eyes that can look straight through you into your soul and his hair that flopped over his forehead just above his faint eyebrows at the bridge of his nose a small scar giving him another special feature. ''Enjoying the view?'' Mads said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, I blushed with embarrassment.
"I'm so sorry I didn't realize I was-"
He cut me off,
"It's fine Ayana, it happens quite a lot you get used to it after a while."
"I'm sorry I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable."
He shook his head at me "Honestly don't worry," he said, "to be frank I'm glad you were looking at me because every time you looked away I was doing the same to you.'

I froze.
"Pardon did I hear that right, you were looking at me?" I spluttered. Mads laughed.
"Yes. Oh shit, did I say that out loud? Oh emm, I, that wasn't supposed to, sorry that was rude of me,"
He smirked at me and tilted his head
"You have beautiful eyes, do you now that?" He simpered.
I blushed instantly and put my head down to hide my bright red face
"Thank you, I whispered. He place his index finger under my chin and lifted my head to face him. His eyes were shimmering, I  could see he was amused by my reaction.  The feel of his skin on mine sent surges through my body, making my stomach fill with butterflies.
"That's better," Mads said as he could now see my face, "why is it when I complement someone they always look away? I  don't intimidate you do I?"
I  shook my head.
"No not at all it's  just I'm not used to getting complements especially of someone like you." "Like me?" he asked with a frown, "what do you mean?"
"Well your a very errm handsome man you see," my voice was a whisper. Mads looked at me, inspecting my face and then my eyes. He laughed at my response.
"You think I am handsome?" his eyes gleamed, "well Ayana thank you and if you don't mind my saying I  think you are a very beautiful young woman."
