Travel companions [MF] [fiction][strangers][oral]

I hate these early morning starts. Sitting in the airport at 5am in the morning, for a flight at 8am, these damn check-in rules are a nightmare. I'm standing zombie-like in the line. These check-in desks are so slow. I could do with a couple more hours sleep.

Wow, I wonder if that girl is on my flight. That is always the thought that springs into my mind when I spot someone cute in an airport, why is that? Get real, what difference would it make anyway, spending 6 hours on the same plane isn't exactly going to give me the opportunity to do a hell of a lot about it. She's looking at me. Oh, was I staring, that reflex turn in the other direction to avoid embarrassment. How long was I staring at her? How long was she watching me staring at her? That is embarrassing.
