  The feeling of a soft caress was what woke me up."Ana..." a soft but yet deep voice calls out my name, I instantly knew who it is...Opening my eyes, I look up towards his voice, just for my eyes to meet his lovely blue marbles."Hey..." I greet him."Hello to you too, " he replies with a smile that is continuously growing."Now," he begins. "Are you up for any food?".I smile at his words."You are making it sound as if we are on some sort of a night out or like a date..." I say, cautiously stretching my numbed limbs out."That's because we are... possibly...".I let out a giggle mixed with a sigh."I hope you remember you are still a stranger to me..." I say, giving him a slightly provocative look."I'll be sure to change that..." he begins before moving closer to me. "Very soon," he adds in a whisper, causing me to quietly gasp at the way his warm breath collided with my skin."Now, tell me, are

  Seconds pass before the engines spool up. The breaks are released and we begin moving.Moments later, a loud and defined roar from the engines vibrates throughout the plane as we race down the tarmac airstrip.The faster we get, the bumpier the ride becomes and the more forced back into my seat I'm getting...It felt like minutes before the plane began tilting upward and before I knew it, we became airborne.My eyes are stuck to the window as I look at all the movement below us. All the cars, buses, trains and other planes become smaller and smaller. The trees all begin to slowly fade and blend into one shade green colour as now the mountains, that were hard to see from the ground, come into view by the very horizon.I take a deep breath before laying back into my seat.Just as I was about to fully relax and give myself up to this oddly comfortable seat, the plane suddenly drops before rising up, causing me to grab onto the armrests. Once ag

  Walking deeper into the jet-way, I can just about sense the typical airplane smell.Upon my entry of the aircraft, that is when the scent truly hit me. It causes comfort to seep through my body. I love flying and this smell brings nothing but joy to me.I get greeted by the friendly flight crew."Seat 5F..." I mutter to myself, looking at the labels below the baggage bins. Within a few steps, I get to row 5 very quick and take my assigned seat. The window seat.Looking out the glass, I get a great view of the engine, I note its spinner right in the centre, with numerous blades emitting from the middle outwards. The engine is slowly turning at the light breeze outside and the ground crew are too busy taking the equipment away from the plane."Well, would you look at that... Looks like we are bound to be together...".I jump as a result of a deep voice frightening me, but instantly ca

  I keep my gaze at the plane in front of me. I watch as passengers exit the aircraft.On the airport grounds, by the plane, I see 2 ground crew helping with the unloading of the luggage from the airplane. An additional 2 ground crew take the suitcases before loading them onto the trolleys attached to the yellow luggage cart.Pulling my attention up from the ground crew, my eyes are met by the nose of the plane. Looking up even higher, I am met by the cockpit of the aircraft.I can see only one pilot in the cockpit as he is looking down at something. I then see the back of another pilot by the cockpit door, he is probably saying his goodbyes to the passengers.Looking away from our plane, I am greeted by an American Airlines A330-200 taxi past out gate. Behind it followed a Lufthansa A321-200."This airport is enormous, " I hear James's voice right beside me. Turning my head, I notice how close his body is to mine."Yeah, it's big... but it's

• That One Flight.   Part II - Delay.

  "Hi... You look strangely familiar...” he says. I close my eyes, thinking if this is even real. Opening them back up, I face my nervousness by looking towards the deep voice. As I do, I am greeted by a warm smile as it spread across his lips.“Do.. you mind?” he ushers for the empty seat beside me.I begin to panic ever so slightly and immediately scooch away to try and give him space to sit. “Please...” is the only word I manage to spit out.I hear him chuckle at my reply, I also notice how his eyes never went off mine.“My name is James...” he says, stretching his hand out towards me.Subconsciously, I take his hand into mine before we shake our hands. “Nice to meet you James, I’m Ana,” I reply.The palms of our hands slowly drag off one another before we both retract our limbs back to ourselves.“It’s a pleasure meeting you too, Ana. But I have an important que

• That One Flight.   Part I - Terminal One.

  Gentle sleet snowed down upon me whilst I dragged my suitcase behind me. The slight accumulation of the built-up icy-snow crunches under my feet.I always become so nervous when I go to airports and boy is this year no different. But along with all the nervousness, my body is also welcomed by the odd feeling of euphoria.I approach the automated door and seconds pass before they open, allowing me inside."Welcome to Euromania International Airport..." but before the automated voice could finish its message, I have already walked into the main terminal. The warm air welcomed my cold body. I feel my hands become wet ever so slightly. I look down just to see drops of water scattered on my hands, on my outfit from the snow.I regain my concentration on what is in front of me. Without a second thought, I shift my direction towards the departures.Entering the actual terminal building, I make sure to take a look at one of the monitors."Check-in a
