Kaden's POV
After Allison excuses herself to the restroom I take the time to message James. With everything that had happened today, I needed someone I could trust to talk to.
Kaden: "Hey I need your opinion on something and I need you to take it seriously."
James: "Sup, I can try, but as you know I rarely take anything seriously (Crazy face emoji)."
Kaden: "I accidentally read one of Allison's text messages, she referred to me as Mr. Doom and Gloom."
James: (Laughing face emoji) OMG! You know she's right though! All work and no play make Kaden gloomy and doomy ROFL. I might have to steal this one from her."
Kaden: "So it's true? I really have become Mr. Doom and Gloom?"
James: "Bro it's not too late to change, you're 23 not 80. Are you still coming over tonight, I can invite some friends over and you can learn how to loosen up."
Kaden: "Oh shit, I forgot to tell you I am heading to Blythe with Allison. Someone is trying to win the contract for the Blythe project out from under me."
James: "So you are going to be alone with that fine-ass receptionist you keep pretending you don't see?"
Kaden: "What are you talking about, I see her every day at work."
James: "Do not play dumb Kaden. She is perfect for you. I know you are attracted to her. You are in a perfect situation to make a move. DO NOT FUCK IT UP! She's into you and you are into her."
Kaden: "How can you say she is into me when she calls me Mr. Doom and Gloom?"
James: "I have called you much worse, yet here I am. Still your best friend. I am telling you, make a move or lose her. She is not going to wait for you forever."
Kaden: "She's coming back and we are boarding the plane. TTL."
What is James thinking? There is no way Allison is attracted to me I would have noticed, wouldn't I? Great now I am second-guessing myself.
"Mr. Everdeen, the plane is boarding we should head over to our gate." Allison pulls me out of my thoughts.
Allison has been on many business trips with me over the years, I know she usually changes into something more comfortable to fly in. Even I am wearing athletic pants and a tee shirt, but when I look up to see Allison in a pair of leggings that hug her thick thighs with a V-neck button-up shirt that is just long enough to cover her luscious ass I almost come undone. The amount of delicious cleavage that is showing has my dick hard in a second. Thankfully I have my backpack with me, otherwise, I would be walking through the airport with a noticeable tent in my pants. Clearing my throat I stand holding my backpack in front of me.
"After you Miss, Thomas," I say as I motion her to go in front of me.
Dear God, this is going to be a long trip. James put so many ideas in my head now I am not sure if it is my imagination, or if she is trying to flirt with me.
Allison's POV
Finishing my drink and not knowing what to do with myself while we wait for our gate to open, I excuse myself to the restroom to change into something more comfortable to travel in. Pulling my leggings, bikini top, and choice of two tops from my backpack to decide what to wear. Do I want to go with a more modest top that covers my cleavage, but shows off my midsection or do I want to go all in and show off the girls? I change into my leggings and bikini top, put on my crop top, and snap a photo. Then changed into my other shirt and also took a photo.
Allison: Sent two photos
Shandra: "The white one that shows off the girls"
Allison: "You don't think it's too much?"
Shandra: "Girl if he doesn't notice you in that shirt he is pitching for the other team if you know what I mean. ( sent two eggplant emojis)"
Allison: "God I hope not, otherwise all my efforts have been for nothing."
Shandra "Maybe he is Bi and you can have him and his boyfriend."
Allison: "That is not funny, could you imagine what Matt would do!"
Shandra: (Laughing face emoji) Yeah he would flip his lid. Seriously though, go with the white one."
Allison: "Wish me luck, they just made our gate announcement. I will text you when I land Kisses."
Shandra: "Kisses and dick wishes."
Allison: "OMG stop!!!!!!"
I pack my stuff into my backpack, leaving the bathroom to grab Kaden so we don't miss our flight. He is on his phone as I approach him. He slides his phone into his pocket and looks up with a stunned look on his face. Oh my god, did I just imagine that or did Kaden stare at my cleavage? I mean I did wear this shirt to get a reaction from him, but this is seriously the first time he has looked! If I am not mistaken he is holding his backpack in front of him to hide his, his, oh my god I have to be wrong. I have been trying for almost three years to get his attention. I think it might be working! He clears his throat motioning for me to walk ahead of him to the gate. I turn to head towards the gate, but it would not be me if I didn't embarrass myself. Tripping over my feet I close my eyes waiting for my face to plant itself on the floor, but the pain doesn't come. Instead, I feel strong arms wrapped around my waist pulling me back against something hard, very hard.
Before I open my eyes I can feel the sparks and my body responding. I open my eyes and turn my head slightly to see Kaden behind me. He had dropped the backpack to save me, I now had no doubt he was hard I just hope it was for me. We stare at each other and if I am not mistaken his hand is roaming up my stomach. Is he going to feel me up right here in the middle of the airport? I know I should move, I should say something to break this spell, I should not be hoping he will kiss me right here in the middle of a freaking airport!
Kaden's POV:
I cleared my throat after motioning for Allison to lead the way to the gate, there was no way I wanted her to see I was hard for her. That all went out of the window when she tripped over her own feet and almost face-planted in the middle of the floor. Before I could think I had her in my arms squeezed up against me. I am pretty sure there was no way she could not feel my hard cock on her back. We both froze, her looking back at me, me staring into those beautiful blue eyes. My hand acting on its own started to climb higher up her stomach toward those gorgeous tits. Someone clearing their throat behind us brought us back to reality. Jumping apart, I clear my throat.
"Miss. Thomas, are you ok? Did you twist your ankle?" I ask in a husky voice.
"I'm ok" She all but whispers."
Clearing my throat I offer my elbow to her. She hesitantly takes my arm and we head towards the gate. The heat from her body is distracting, but not enough for me to not notice a slight limp in her step.
"Are you sure you are OK?" I reaffirm with her.
"Yeah, just a little shock to my ankle. It will be better by the time we get on the plane." She replies more confidently.
After finding our seats I ask Allison if she needs anything out of her backpack before storing it above our seats. I pull out my copy of Orson Scott Card's, Ender's Game I had been reading. Putting my backpack up with Allison's I settle into my seat opening my book to the page I left off while watching Allison from my peripheral vision. She is acting normal getting her headphones set up to listen to music I assume. She is acting like nothing happened, if she is acting normal, I should just act normal too. Settling down into my seat I begin to read my book.
"Oh, you read Orson Scott Card" Allison asks excitedly.
"I, um, James recommended it to me. I am enjoying it so far though."
"Did you know it's a whole series?" She replies
"I did not, I don't usually have time to read for fun. James left this at my house the last time he stayed over. He recommended I read it." I reply sheepishly.
"Well if you get the chance you should read the whole series. It's amazing, I really enjoyed the whole set. If you get the chance you should also read The Giver by Lois Lowry too. Both authors are talented."
She is getting more and more excited, but I don't know if she is just an enthused reader or if she is just excited we are talking about something that is not work. She really is pretty my thoughts are getting jumbled. Is it me or is she getting closer? Holy shit she is leaning up against my arm and her tits are pushed up against me, does she mean to push up on me like this? I clear my throat trying to return to reading my book, its not working she is still pressed up on me reading the page I am on.
"Are you listening to music?" I ask trying to get some space from her. Not that I don't like her pressed up on me. I just don't want to go the whole flight with a boner.
"Ah, um no. I'm listening to an audiobook." She scoots back to her own seat with a slight blush across her cheeks. Now I am curious.
"What book are you listening to?" I ask in curiosity.
"Oh, umm, it's, um, It is called Lights Out by Navessa Allen." She shrinks back into her seat, and now I want to know more.
"Is it similar to Ender's Game?" I ask
"Oh noooo, ummm this is what is called a dark romance. I ah I think I am going to just go back to listening to my book. Sorry, I disturbed you." She quickly put her head phone back in while quickly turning her head to stare out the window. Well that was a weird response I think as I go back to reading my book.
