Chapter Two: The Gate

As I got to the gate I glanced out of the window. The rain was coming down so hard you could barely see the runway lights. I walked up to the gate attendant where my flight was to departure from. The gate attendant was repeating “flight 2533 has been canceled due to inclement weather.” I was thinking ‘ain’t that a bitch!’ At this point I was boiling inside. Although the rain was coming down extremely hard I couldn’t believe it had the power to cancel my flight. So at that moment I buried my anger and frustration and asked the gate attendant “what is the inclement weather you guys are talking about?” I guess she didn’t hear me or was completely ignoring me. She had this monotone voice as she spoke into the microphone. I then proceeded to raise my voice as I repeated myself. “Excuse me ma’am can you tell me what is this inclement weather you speak of?” She without a word pointed towards the window where the rain was beating against the glass. Although I knew what she was trying to tell me I didn’t want to accept it. As I turned towards the direction she pointed towards I felt like I was in a cheesy movie. As my eyes caught the view of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She had a perfect bronze complexion even in the terrible airport lighting. Her hair was long and brown. She was wearing a navy blue business type skirt suit. She was walking towards the gate attendant. I tried not to stare but her walk had me in a trance. It was like everything around her had faded away and all I could see was a glow surrounding her as she gracefully came closer. When she got to the attendant I was finally able to break free of my trance and had to look away to keep her from thinking I was some crazy freak. I over heard her ask the attendant why the flight was cancel when it was only raining? I looked up at that time and looked over at her again. I couldn’t believe my eyes she was gorgeous. My eyes caught her eyes they were light brown like hazel she smiled as I began to fall into the trance once again. It was immediately interrupted by the sound of the attendant “Ma’am the flight is not only canceled because of the rain but also because of the lightning.” We both looked back at her. I thought to myself why couldn’t she have just told me that? However, things were starting to look up I mean at least I had some eye candy. At that moment I did something I had never done before. I walked up to her she turned towards me and smiled. I fought hard to not fall once again into a trance. But I manage to find the strength and courage to just say “Hi.”
