"Final call for boarding to Doha. Please make your way to the gate"
Laura sprinted through the departures lounge of Bangkok airport as she made her way for the gate.
"Please don't let me miss my flight" she pleaded to no one in particular. After the month she'd had, missing the flight back home would be the cherry on top of the shit sundae of her Christmas Break.
It had all started the day Laura and her boyfriend (well now ex-boyfriend) David had been due to fly out to Bangkok. Initially she had been happy to get away from work early. That is until she had walked in on him banging her flatmate Kerry on the kitchen table.
After an evening of crying and arguing with David, listening to empty promises from him about how it would never happen again interspersed with him saying she was blowing everything out of proportion, she had decided it was over.
Laura played the image of David balls deep in Kerry's pussy again, as she had numerous times over her 3 week break. The sound of their furious love making. David smacking Kerry's ass he told her what a slut she was for taking her friend's boyfriend's dick.
She was taken immediately out of her daydream (nightmare) as she collided with a man just as she reached the gate.
"Whoa, slow down there" the man laughed, before gesturing at her to go ahead in the queue. Embarrassed, Laura smiled, whispered her thanks and handed her boarding pass over to the flight attendant.

Laura had been seated at the back of the plane and so far no one else had been sat in her row at all. Finally, some good luck, Laura thought to herself as she imagined stretching out across the seat and getting some much needed sleep. She hadn't been sleeping great recently, what with the burning image of David and Kerry in her mind whenever she closed her eyes. She thought of it again and was startled when she heard a familiar voice.
"You again, hey. Do you mind letting me in to the window seat."
Laura was greeted with the face of the man she'd nearly taken down at the gate. The embarrassment of their initial encounter came flooding back as she stood quickly to let him through.
"Sorry for the collision, my mind has been all over the place lately".
"Don't mention it" he replied, smiling, and if she wasn't mistaken, glancing at her boobs ever so subtly before meeting her eyes again. Was he checking her out?
Laura was surprised at the effect this had on her. Sure this guy was attractive but she was too heartbroken for any sort of sexual desire wasn't she? She looked at him again. Taking in his slim build and broad shoulders. His buzzed haircut gave him a masculine look and that smile was just...wow.
"I'm Adam, nice to meet you...?" He said stretching out his hand.
"Laura" she blurted in a voice much higher pitched and girly than her normal tone as she reached out to shake his hand. What was wrong with her? She'd lost all cool since meeting Adam. Normally she had good composure. Now, she was a mess.
Adam's hand gave hers a tight squeeze, his huge hand completely dwarfing her own.

After the safety instructions were read out, the plane took to the air and the trolley service hurriedly rushed down the aisle with everyone's dinner and drinks.
Adam continued to make casual chat with Laura as they waited.
"Why were you in Thailand?" He asked.
"My parents live there." she said.
"Cool, I was visiting family too. My grandparents, like I do every year over the university Christmas break. I'm at UCL"
"Oh, you go to university in London? I work in the city too."
As they chatted Laura's eyes drank Adam in. His lips, hands, his toned calves. If she wasn't mistaken, Adam had been continuing to check her out too. His eyes lingered just a little too long, often on her tanned legs which she took every opportunity to stretch out into the middle seat to give him a better look.
They continued to chat as the dinner service came and went. When offered some drinks, Adam ordered a couple of glasses of red wine and Laura decided to join in with a couple glasses of her own. The dinner service now finished, the cabin was dimmed and the other passengers settled down to sleep or to watch some movies for the duration of the flight.
