Sarah pushed her way through the already crowded plane towards seat M22. The constant chatter as everyone settled into their seats rang through the cabin and Sarah wished they would quiet down. She wasn't happy about being woken up at four in the morning by her boss and learning she had a seven o'clock flight to San Fransico to meet with the owner of the company she worked for. Her boos wouldn't even tell her why she was needed, she just needed to get her butt on that plane. It didn't help that she was on a plane either, she hated flying. The turbulance always made her air sick and she got off the plane feeling jet-lagged and wishing she was shooting the breeze in her sky blue VW bug, enjoying the sights and relaxing aura of traveling by car.
"Five mintutes until take-off folks." The pilots voice rang loud and clear through the cabin.
"Finally, I want to get this over with." Sarah muttered in exapseration.
She took her place in the aisle seat and settled in for a long ride.
Just as she closed her eyes a mans voice exclaimed
"Excuse me, but I believe that seat next to your's is mine, mind if i squeeze through?"
Sarah opened her eyes to the face of a man roughly twenty seven, with short brown hair and a dazzling smile. As she gazed into his bright blue eyes something moved inside her. It was "love at first sight" you could say. Then as quickly as it had come, it was gone, and she was left gawking at the man, who was still smiling.
"Oh um, yeah sorry." Embarassed, Sarah stood up and let the man sit down.
Eight minutes later they were comfortably up in the air. Stewards were taking drink orders and asking if anyone would like a set of headphones.
"I'm John by the way." Sarah turned her face away from the window and smiled. "Nice to meet you John. I'm Sarah."
