Hi everyone,
Here's a flash story. It's told in two overlapping parts from two points of view. I've included a title at the beginning of each one to make it easier to understand.
I did it in conjunction with Britni4u. It's a bit of fun just like her.
Cheers darling
You are one in a trillion.

Charlie:
The plane's intercom crackled to life as the pilot pointed out we were about to start our descent into LAX. The seat belt light was flashing so people began stowing their trays and straightening their seat backs. My pulse rate jumped as I realized the moment of truth was fast approaching. Pulling the mobile out of my suit pocket I opened up the mail app and looked again at the photo that appeared, Brit.
She was pretty, really pretty and young, oh so young. A wide bright smile lit up her face and her eyes glinted mischievously. The tight black top highlighted a slim build and a short short gold skirt displayed an impressive set of legs. The cabin attendant touched my shoulder causing me to jump in my seat.
"No mobiles till we land sir," she said sternly.
"Sure, no worries," I spluttered. My face turning red as I tried to shut it down and put it in my pocket.
Her face softened, "are you an Aussie?" She asked as a little smile played across her lips.
"Uhh, yeah. Is it that obvious?" I said sheepishly.
"My sister is married to one so I recognised the accent. Hope you have a nice stay." She added brightly before continuing towards the front of the plane.
The plane banked sharply and I could see the water of the Pacific Ocean out my window. After leveling out again the whine of the hydraulic system lowering the landing gear filled my ears until it stopped abruptly when they clunked into place. It would soon be game time.
We kissed the tarmac gently and began to taxi towards the terminal. Many impatient travelers glanced at the overhead lockers wanting to get their bags. Others scanned surrounding passengers wondering who was going to get to the door first. I stayed were I was, the butterflies in my stomach that were nervous on the descent were now jumping like they were on speed.
I thought back to home, Brisbane, Australia. Twelve months ago I'd been a humble engineer in an agricultural machinery company. We made precision planters and air seeders. I'd been tinkering at home for a few years with a modified hydraulic drive for the air seeders we made. One day out of the blue, our boss and company owner strolled into the office I shared with two other engineers and informed us he'd just sold the company.
We were apprehensive about our jobs and our fears proved to be real. An overseas competitor was the new owner and they didn't want an Australian design section so we were made redundant. At first I was confident of getting another job easily. I had eight years experience out of university but when I went for jobs they always seemed to go to the new graduates. With my extra time at home I continued tinkering with my own designs.
There was a big farm field day a couple hours west of Brisbane at Toowoomba. Farmfest had a major prize on offer for the farm innovation of the year. I had nothing better to do so I entered my modified hydraulic drive. It seemed my bad luck was at an end as my design was placed second and fortuitously the head of John Deere was at the Field Day and presented the prizes. He spoke to me for about half an hour and organized for me to meet up with him in Brisbane two days later before he flew home.
At the meeting at his hotel he offered me a job. On the proviso that John Deere got first offer to manufacture my new design. They would fly me to the U.S. and I would join their design team in Moline, Illinois. It all sounded to good to be true but the next week I was hugging my parents good bye at the airport.
An added bonus was I had a stopover in LA for a day which gave me an opportunity to meet Britt, a girl I'd chatted to on the net. I had always been a bit of a book nerd so I did a lot of reading and got involved in an online book club. That's were I'd "met" Britt. We were both involved in a discussion of a new novel and there was something about her posts. It was like you could tell she was smiling when she wrote them.
We started conversing casually and became online friends. It's funny how much the anonymity of the web lets you open up. We "talked" about things I'd never discussed with anyone else. Eventually the talk led to some sort of flirting. We were discussing fantasies and I suppose it got a bit raunchy. Not cybersex but just going into very minute detail about some of the dark places we sometimes think about going too.
She sent me a picture and I couldn't believe how beautiful she was. I was reluctant to participate in the visual side, she was so young, only twenty, and pretty. I felt like a sloth in comparison. A voice jolted me out of my daydream.
"You best get moving Crocodile Dundee or the cleaners will have to sweep you out."
It was the flight attendant. I looked around and saw that every other person had left. Two other attendants waited at the door. I stood and walked out of the plane. As I followed the arrows to the arrival area my nerves almost made me chicken out. I wondered if there was some way I could get to departures without being seen. I came to the frosted glass door with arrivals on it and paused. The automatic door slid open and I stepped into America for the first time.
I searched the crowded area of passengers and the people greeting them but at first glance I didn't see her. Taking a tentative step into the throng of people I resumed searching more methodically the second time. I soon picked her out. I'd been looking for long dirty blonde hair but it was pulled up in a tight bun at the back of her head. She was looking at me a mischievous smile on her lips. Stepping forward through the groups of people she stopped in a clear space and did a twirl.
All doubts about my decision to fly here were washed away when I saw what she was wearing. In our fantasy communications I'd explained about a crush I'd had on my boss's secretary in Brisbane. It was something about what she wore and the way she wore it. In front of me now was my fantasy secretary only with a younger hotter body.
Long legs encased in sheer tights that disappeared into a tight back pencil skirt. A soft white blouse just see through enough to give the hint of the bra underneath. The top two buttons were undone and the swell of her breasts peeked out of the gap. To top it off she had her hair pulled back and a pair of glasses perched on the end of her nose. Just when I thought she couldn't get hotter her hand came up to her mouth holding a pen. She moved it slowly around her lips as her tongue teased its tip.
The blood was pounding in my ears as I quickly covered the distance between us. I'd planned a few opening lines to break the ice but I instinctively knew no words were necessary. I pulled her close and placed my lips on hers. She stiffened at first, surprised at my boldness before melting against me. We broke apart to remove the glasses before resuming our passionate embrace.
Everyone around us was forgotten. I'm sure they must have thought we a regular couple, not two people meeting in person for the first time. Our cyber conversations had been an extended foreplay and now it was time for the payoff. We still hadn't uttered a word to each other when I disengaged and taking her hand led her through the thinning crowd. Other people were moving with us heading toward the baggage claim but I was scanning the edges looking for an opportunity. I spied what I was looking for and aimed off to the left.
Oblivious to the glances of strangers I pulled Britt along to the entrance of a disabled toilet and opened the door. Britt stiffened when I first motioned for her to enter but a firm squeeze of her hand let her know I was in control. After locking the door I twirled Brit around so she faced the back of the door the I spoke for the first time.
"Assume the position." I ordered.
Britt:
The day came and I was very excited to meet him. Charlie and I had gotten very close through emailing each other after meeting on an online book club. He was very articulate and for some reason, right away, we seemed to really enjoy our conversations together. I think his charisma and the fact he was from Australia lured me to him. I had always been fascinated with the land down under and since he had provided me with so many details, I had felt I had literally visited.
Quickly our casual conversations turned to flirting and then eventually more. I think the miles between us made it easy to open up to each other about our fantasies and sexual experiences. I had sent him a couple of pictures of myself for him to enjoy while he remained visually anonymous to me.
'I don't do that selfie stuff, too old for it.' He wrote.
I did not need to see a picture of him, I felt I knew him from our conversations. He could be an ogre but I knew inside he was beautiful. The fact our ages differed by several years was irrelevant to me and I hoped it would be to him also.
