Disclaimer: All right, this story is not real. NOT REAL! Not to be read by anyone under the age of 18/21 yadda yadda yadda! I would love to hear some feedback as per usual. Please feel free to leave me a comment in the COMMENT Box at the end of the page. You see those big empty stars too? Maybe bump those up to five full ones? We wouldn't want them to be empty now would we? All alone like that? You're not a monster are you?

My stomach groaned as I fidgeted in the seat. The airline had provided me with some painkillers for the pain in my stomach. I'd been given some out of date fish at the airport but I needed to catch the flight to Los Angeles for my work as a legal representative in the music business.
I hated traveling by plane. Even though this was on my company's dollar, they didn't seem to understand the importance of getting a good night's rest. How was I supposed to manage that with a kid screaming in my ear the whole time? Fortunately, for this trip I had been bumped up to first class as it was closest to the nearest Doctor who had happily offered to look after me and keep an eye on me if anything should happen. As I held onto my stomach, my head rocked to the side and I saw some the first class passengers being boarded. Then... That couldn't be her could it? I squinted down the corridor and saw a woman with long brown hair that sort of flicked outwards at the very bottom walk towards me.
It looked a hell of a lot like Sarah Michelle Gellar. The famed television actress, and star of TV's Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Her black leather jacket was covering many of her good features as she walked down the row, ticket in hand.
She traced the numbers along until she found her seat, a few rows in front of me. Noticing me, she smiled and waved at me. I couldn't help but grin like a moron and wave back.
There was a slow and tedious loading process as the plane was boarded correctly and efficiently. Then, the plane took off and soon the seatbelt sign was turned off. I had been stealing glances at Sarah the entire time, her legs were folded over each other and her stocking clad legs were clearly visible. I started to fidget in my seat for a different reason now. She reached down, pushed the 'release' button on the seat belt, and stood up.
She stuck her chest out and shook her arms rapidly, loosening the jacket and letting it slide down her arms. She was clad in a creamy white top that fitted her in all the right places, just under the top there was a short skirt that ran down her gorgeous legs to a few inches below her ass. She folded the jacket over her right arm and slipped it into the overhead luggage compartment.
Casting a look over her shoulder, she caught me staring at her again. Averting my glance, she huffed and walked towards me.
"Excuse me." She said, looking down at me in my seated position. Looking up, I felt my cheeks burning as I nodded my head.
"Is there a problem? You've been staring at me the whole flight."
My eyes darted around before meeting hers again. "No it's just... You're Sarah Michelle Gellar..."
With that, her heart seemed to warm and the ice queen act was dropped.
"Sorry... I've had a rough couple of days. Hi, yeah. I am she. It's really nice to meet you." She extended her hand for me to shake it.
Being a gentleman, I took the hand and kissed it on the ridge of the knuckle making the sexy American actress giggle at the touch. She noted there was no one sitting next to me and asked if I was reserving it for someone. I shook my head, letting the fine female smile sexily.
"I ask you a question?" She looked down at me, her deep green eyes having a puppy-dog effect on me.
"Sure." I replied, smiling up at her.
"Are you crazy?" That was disquieting. "You're not going to freak out over this are you?"
I shook my head. "No, I do have an upset stomach though." Unsure of whether that would satisfy her question. She smiled warmly and spoke again.
"Listen, I've been stuck in the airport for nearly three hours with no one to talk to. Do you mind if I stay here so we can talk?"
Jackpot! I shook my head and motioned for her to take a seat.
Smiling, Sarah took the seat next to me and we got talking. I introduced myself and told her all about my job and what in entailed. She seemed really interested in just what I did and why certain laws meant that certain songs couldn't be played on certain TV or radio stations or just why some stars just wouldn't play at all. Eventually, we got back to talking about her career and what she was up to.
"So we sat down and did the shoot and the interview right after I shot the last scene of Buffy." She said with a smile, re-telling the story of how FHM had to interview her and do a shoot on the set of the last episode of FHM US.
"That is cool. Not many people get to be in FHM US. Especially not that it's gone under." I replied, smiling at the conversation.
"What did you think of it?" She asked, her curiosity piqued.
"The shoot or the interview?" I asked, setting my drink down on one of the flight tables in front of me.
"Both."
"Well, the shoot was great. You have a very," Time to choose my words carefully here. "Photogenic body." That made her smile. I'm still in the game!
"And the interview?" She pressed on as I fidgeted in the seat. My stomach pains had died down now, this was pure nerves.
"Well..."
"Come on, be honest." She said with a smile.
"I thought the interviewers questions were soft balls. He never really pushed to learn anything. He just got the same old responses."
Sarah was silent for a moment, almost as if pondering my response. Oh shit! I hope I hadn't upset her!
"Thanks Jeff! It's really nice to hear some honestly for once... It's nice to have some male company too. It's been a long time since I had the chance to talk to someone who isn't part of a film set or some boy's magazine."
I nodded in a knowing fashion. I knew she had just split up with her boyfriend, Freddie Prinze Jnr who had complained that she was never around, always on film sets. She sought comfort in the fact that I had recently broken up with my girlfriend, Amy, due to the pressure of her being in college and me having to jet around Europe to help make the music industry continue to work. "Yeah, I had to split up with my girlfriend recently. We've both been so busy with other things we never had time for each other."
Smiling, Sarah tilted her head to the right in a sympathetic fashion. She smirked to herself, then smiled at me. "Kindred spirits huh?"
Then, the plane's P.A system whirred to life and the Captain came on over the speaker.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the Captain speaking. Unfortunately, there is a small delay in Los Angeles and due to this we're going to have to make a stop over in Denton, Texas. On behalf of Virgin Atlantic, I apologize for the delay."
Sarah rolled her eyes and looked at me. Biting on her bottom lip, she spoke to me.
"I don't suppose you want to get a drink when we're in the air port do you?"
I blinked repeatedly, unsure if I had heard that correctly. She was so sweet and cute, I couldn't help but stare.
"Yeah... Yeah, I'd like that."

The plane had touched down in one of Texas' international airports and the plane had since been cancelled. Sitting at the bar in the airport, Sarah and I had been changing our travel arrangements. I was jabbing at my phone trying to find a vacant hotel for us to stay in.
"I've got one. One room left! I'll book it, and I can take the bath or something." I announced to her, she was about to protest when I jabbed at the screen and booked it.
"Done!"
"Great. At least let me get the cab." She said with a smile as I nodded.
"Go for it. That just maxed out my card." I retorted with a hearty laugh.

The cab ride over was an uneventful one, they heard by radio news that there was a freak storm had been battering L.A and it meant all planes were grounded. Our replacement flight was at a quarter to six in the morning. Therefore, we would have to leave for about four a.m to beat customs and get to our seats in time. Sarah had even paid to upgrade my ticket so we could be together again.
