Jane 's POV
'' Good morning , good morning , good morning to you . Have a nice day , have a nice day , have a nice day to you . ''
I smacked the alarm . Groaning I pushed myself out of my bed and zombie walked to the bathroom . I brushed my teeth , used the toilet and took a quick shower . Stepping outta the bathroom I dried my body , got dressed in my airport outfit.
I slid on my watch and my sneakers . Grabbed my suitcase , mobile phones and my keys . I locked my house door and reaching downstairs , hailed a cab and rode my way to the airport .
'' Perfectly on time .'' I praised myself . I looked at my watch 4 : 59 a.m .
I completed all the formalities and sat myself in the waiting area in front of my boarding gate . I looked around the area and spotted a bookstore nearby . Being the book lover I am , I strolled in the bookstore along with my belongings . I simply had my handbag , rest of my luggage was given for check in .
'' Hello there , young lady . '' greeted the cashier .
'' Good afternoon '' I greeted back .
I floated to the historical section . And grazed at the books on the rack .
I was so into scanning the books and my eyes caught the one I wanted to read ' The Da Vinci Code ' .
'' The one and only The Da Vinci Code . At last I found you . Oh I love Dan Brown 's books .'' I voiced my thoughts and just as I was about to reach for it , a arm slid in front of me from behind my back and grabbed the one and only copy of that book . It happened in a blink of an eye .
Surprised and shocked , I turned around on my heels and my eyes met with the back of a man .
He's got a sexy back . Nice built back muscles . Seems like he worked out often . I took a moment to check him out . His hair was black . He was looking devouring in a crisp white shirt and khaki shorts ending his outfit with cool loafers . His sleeves were rolled up and damn , he was he epitome of hotness and handsomeness .
''Get a grip , he snatched the book you wanted , Jane ! '' I snapped out of my trance .
''Ahem , mister .'' I cleared my throat and gosh... He turned around facing me .
'' What . The . Hell . Are . You . Doing . Here , James ?" I asked surprised .
''Oh , you know , hunting elephants ! '' cheered James amusingly .
'' Anyways you cannot do that .'' I continued .
'' Do what exactly .'' James asked raising his eyebrows .
I scoffed and said .
'' You cannot buy that book , it is mine .'' I stated .
Taking a moment , he roamed his eyes all over my body .
'' You are not Dan Brown from any angle . '' He remarked .
'' I mean , I set my eyes on that book first . You ungentle gentleman . '' I said pointing at the book and then the second half gentleman thing was said by jabbing my index into his chest .''
'' Oh darling , I set my hands on it and that matters more , doesn't it ? By the way , if you were so desperate to touch me you could have asked . " He smirked .
" You are unbelievable , ego headed jerk ! " I yelled . And bumped into his shoulder deliberately and walked away .
" Oh , you did it again honey . You could have asked again , if you wanted to touch me , Jane ! "
James called from behind .
" Have a good flight Miss ." The cashier called .
" Huh , good flight , my foot ! " I snapped .
" Maybe you should keep more copies in stock . " I said in anger .
" Err... Right . Sorry . " The cashier choked out .
Poor cashier . I thought as I walked towards the gate .
Finally I boarded the flight and sat on my seat .
I put my seat belt on and shut my eyes . My acrophobia got me in my first flight . Considering this would be my second flight I was nervous .
I just sat patiently and hoped for a better co passenger .
"Holy crap , we meet again . Good to see you Jane . "
Said someone above me . I snapped open my eyes , turning my head to the source of that sound .
" Oh noooo. The whole world is against me today ! " I stated .
" Come on , Jane . Don't get disappointed . I am not some nervous acrophobic guy ." James said .
" But I am ." I muttered to myself .
" What ? I am not quite sure , I heard you ."
As I turned my head , I froze .
Just an inch closer and I'd be kissing him . On his LIPS .
We stayed in that position for a second or two and I pulled back . My cheeks flushing with embarrassment .
James cleared his throat and leaned back on his seat .
I looked away and plugged in some music inside my ears and rested my head against the headrest of my seat .
Let sleep come over me , Oh Lord . Let sleep come over me . I chanted .
I will get a good 5 hour sleep now . With that I closed my eyes .
Within minutes , I drowned in sleep . Being a heavy sleeper I will not feel the flight take off .
