that’s all. I don’t get many compliments so I’m not used to them.” I play with the hem of my sleeve, embarrassed by what I just admitted to him. He stares at me and I notice his frown turning into a slight scowl upon his face.
“A beautiful woman like you should be paid compliments more often than not. Please believe me when I say that you really are quite enchanting.” He dips his head lower to meet my gaze. I smile nervously and nod, turning my head in an attempt to stifle a yawn as I glance at my watch.
11:30 pm.
I guess this is what lack of sleep and a change of time zones will do to you.
“Judging by your yawn and the sleepy look you have on your face, you must be exhausted. I won’t keep you up any longer. Would you like me to grab the stewardess to bring you a pillow and blanket?” he asks, concern etched across his face. His reaction confuses me slightly. I brush it off, not wanting to linger on it.
“No, thank you. I’ll be okay, really. I’ll just lie back a little and catch some shut-eye.” I chew my lip again when our eyes make contact.
“Nonsense. You won’t be comfortable that way. Please, let me have someone get you a pillow and blanket.” He reaches up and pushes the button for the flight attendant. A beautiful redhead appears from around the corner where her prep station is at and approaches him with wide eyes. She hungrily looks over his body and gives him a full on dazzling smile.
“Yes sir, what can I help you with?” she says. She bats her eyelashes and leans down close to him. Andrew leans back into his seat, apparently wanting to get further away from her.
“Would you be so kind as to retrieve two blankets and pillows for us, please?” Andrew says as he looks at me and smiles. The attendant looks over at me and her smile fades away slightly.
“Of course, sir. I will be right back with those for you.” She places her hand gently on his forearm and lets it linger there before she goes back to get the pillows and blankets. Within a few seconds she reappears with the requested items and hands them to him, her fingertips brushing against his as he takes them from her.
“Is there anything else I can do for you, sir?” She looks at him through her lashes and gives a slow sexy smile. He shifts in his seat before clearing his throat.
“No, thank you. We will be just fine now. I appreciate it,” he says curtly.
“If you should need anything else my name is Laura and I will be more than happy to assist you,” she says, as she leaves to go back to her little room. Andrew exhales quietly and then turns his attention back to me. I’m, of course, looking down at my fingers after watching the small scene she was making. He must find her beautiful and breathtaking. Why wouldn’t he? She’s tall with flawless skin and her face is perfectly made up. I must look downright homely compared to her.
“Here, love, one for each of us.” Andrew reaches over and places the blanket across my body. He waits for me to raise my head so he can put the pillow behind it then smoothes my hair back into place as I lay my head against the pillow. Another strange spark happens inside me at his innocent touch, making me wonder if I’ll be able to sleep at all tonight with him this close to me.
“Thank you so much. Really, I would have been okay without them,” I say again, blushing as he looks at me.
“Since I need to get some sleep as well there’s no sense in only getting those items for just myself and watch you shiver all night. It wouldn’t be very gentlemanly of me.” He places a pillow behind his head and drapes his own blanket over his body.
“Thank you again. You’re really too kind.”
“It’s nothing really. Please, you’re tired. Let us get some sleep. It’s a long flight and you’ll want to be well rested for your meeting tomorrow.”
I recline my seat back a little and notice Andrew doing the same before I close my eyes. And for the first time in a long while I
