Love at 30000 Feet Chapter 1 Who would have ever thought that you could fall in love over the course of a red eye flight. Beep..Beep...Beep...BEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP Great the last thing that I want to wake up to is my cell phone ringing after working a late flight the night before. "Hello" " Hello, this is Cathy from Royal Air crew schduealing, is this flight attendat Stevens?" "Yes, this is Ryan, what is my sentence for tonight Cathay?" I ask trying not to sound like a total smart ass. " Well your nice and cheerful at 3 o'clock in the afternoon" Cathay said laughing. "Sorry, I just got back from Boston last night, and that flight is a nightmare" " Well. you have an option tonight, you can work the red eye to JFK or you can do the 8:00 to Vegas, and then red-eye to Philly, you would be lead on either one of them" She was trying to make them sound appealing. In all honesty both of them sucked, JFK was bitchy buisness travelers and Vegas was abunch of drunks. "I will take JFK, its easier then Vegas, what is the show time and the aircraft type?" "Show time at 10:00, push at 11:00, its a 767-400, did you want me to email that to you?" "Yeah, send it to me, what was the return?" " Its the early flight on Tuesday so you have a day in New York" I guess she had no idea how many times I had worked red-eyes to JFK. "Yea, sounds fun, talk to you later Cathy" "Bye sweetie" click Well I guess I should introduce my self. My name is Ryan Stevens I am 26 and am a flight attendant for Royal Airlines and am baesd out of LA. I have two roommates there names are John and Chris and they are both work with me and we are really good friends. I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen looking for something to eat. John was watching TV and Chris was finishing packing. " Hey guys, Chris where are you off to tonight?" "Frankfurt, with the senior hags" Chris said rolling his eyes. "Eww, you working as lead?" "Always, where are they sending the resident red eye queen to tonight, I heard your phone go off?" Chrs was pulling on this blazer. "JFK,it was either that or going to Vegas and then Philly" I said pooring me a bowl of ceral. "How did you get to become a red eye bitch this month." John ask finally taking his attention off the TV. "Beats me, I would much rather be doing long haul." I said looking for milk in the fridge. "OK guys I have to get outta here see yall in a few days" Chris said walking out the door. "Bye, fly safe be good" we said as the was walking out. After he left I went into my room to pack and check my email, I had a few messages my friends and the schdueal from work. I called and talked to my mom for a little while. There was a knock at my door and John came in. "Do you want to go have dinner before you leave tonight" John ask sitting on my bed. "Yeah, we haven't done anything much lately with you doing to Sydney trips all month. Where do you want to go" I was finishing packing up my laptop. " Farbeies?" "Doesn't a ceartian waiter that you have a crush on work there" I said trying to find out the real reason that he was wanting to go there. "Yes, I am going to ask him out tonight if he is working" "Nice, let me hop in the shower and get ready and we can go, I will just leave for the airport from there." I said getting up to go take a shower and get ready to go. After I got out of the shower we left and went to eat. John's mystery man was working that night and he ask him out and they where going to a club after he got off work. I drove to the airport and went to the crew room and talk to some people that where there. At 10:00 I met with the rest of the crew, thankfully I was working with a crew that I knew everyone on. We went through our briefing and headed down to the plane. When we where doing the checks of equipment and making sure we where catered completly for the trip. The gate agent came down to talk to me. "Ryan, I didn't know you where working this flight tonight, I thought you where only long haul?" "I am doing domestic this month, we where over staffed in long haul and domestic was short so I got forced over, so whats up" "I just wanted to let you know that you have a VIP in first tonight" "Oh there is a supirse, what diva do I get the pleasure of dealing with tonight" One thing that all of us hated was dealing with celbs for the most part there where royal pains in the butt that did nothing but complain the enitre flight. " YOu have Jake Gyllenhall in 1A, he is it tonight so it shouldn't be a bad flight" "Good, at least the eye candy won't be bad tonight, when is he going to board" "With the normal passengers, He has been on a few flights that I boarded and he is really laid back" "Ok thanks for the heads up dear, Me and Christi are working up front so it shouldn't be a big deal" "Ok sweets, when are yall going to be ready to board" "Whenever you are ready" "Ok, have a safe trip" She went back up to the gate area and started boarding. As the first class passengers boarded we where serving pre departure drinks. I got to seat 1A where Jake Gyllenhall was sitting. "Good evening Mr. Gyllenhaal, my name is Ryan and I am the lead on the flight tonight if you need anything please let me know." "Thank you Ryan, and please its Jake, I am not old enough to be called Mr." He laughed and shook my hand. "Very well, would you like a drink before we take off" "Yes, a Jack Daniels on the rocks please" I went to the galley and fixed his drink and brought it back to him and handed it to him. "Where you at Farbeies earlier tonight?" He ask me. I was kinda shocked becuase, I hadn't seen him there. "Yes, I was acutally me and my roommate went there for dinner tonight before I came to work,where you there?" "I am frineds with the owners and was having dinner with them in the private dinning room" "Thats awsome, I met Betty and Clare right after I moved here" I was kinda shocked that he would be eating at a place in West Hollywood. "They are great ladies" "Yes they are" I saw the gate agent talking to Christi "Well it looks like we are ready to go, I need to go finish getting things ready" "OK, hopefully we can talk more during the flight" I went back up front to talk to the agent and get the paperwork from the pilots. We closed up the doors and I got the phone to make the announcements. "Good Evening laides and gentlemen and welcome aboard Royal Airways flight 321 service to New York's John F. Kennedy airport." We played the video version of the saftey demo and did the final walk throughs to make sure every thing was ready. When I go the the jumpseat and sit down Christi was already sitting down. "So what where you and Mr. Hottie talking about?" "Nothing, he saw me at a resturant tonight and ask me if I was there" "un huh, sure you where flirting with him" She said poking me in the side. "I was not flirting with him" I was about to finish my thought but the enigies reveed up and we started rolling down the runway. Well that is it for Chapter One. Please tell me what you think.
