Al woke to the sounds and smells of breakfast being served on his flight, a sure sign that they were nearing Auckland. He stretched and suddenly realised that his new friend, Charlotte, was no longer sat beside him. As he accepted a coffee from the cabin crew she made her way down the aisle looking radiant and refreshed, clearly having taken advantage of the bathrooms to freshen herself up.
"Good morning", she smiled as she slid in to the seat beside him. "I hope you slept as well as I did. I have to say that a fuck before bed time is always the best way to get a good night's sleep! I can't wait to have a shower though. I've got a connecting flight in three hours so should have enough time to get into the lounge to use their facilities... care to join me?". Her eyes were sparkling as she waited for his response.
"Well I'm meant to go straight to the hotel to meet my colleagues, but I'm sure I can think of some excuse as to my lateness. So yes, I'd very much like to join you in the lounge for a coffee."
"Oh I'm sure we can manage a bit more than just a coffee," she said teasingly. "Much more."
As the plane prepared to land, Charlotte again took out her book to help distract her from her flying nerves. Al remembered the effect the story had had on her before, and looked forward to seeing where her excitement would take them this time.

He followed Charlotte to the business lounge and, after flashing the staff a card from her wallet, they were waved through with no problems. It was still very early in the day so the lounge was very quiet, a quiet couple were drinking tea and an elderly businessman sat eating toast and reading the financials, although he managed to take a moment though to run an appraising eye over Charlotte's fine figure.
