Taking Flight

                                    

                                          
An AU taking a few ideas from @MariaAngela948 but since I have done a few amnesias in a row I am doing some switching here. This is a twist on the first flight . . . . . . 
**********************************************************************
Serkan Bolat boarded the private air charter to take a quick flight to Gökçeada for the engagement party of Selin Atakan and Ferit Simsek. Another box checked in a long list of things that he was expected to do, family representative for Selin's engagement, what a joke, more like sacrificial lamb, but the box was checked.
His father was still angry with him seven months after terminating his association with Selin and insisted that he should attend on their behalf so, like the dutiful son, he did. Serkan could use the time to work or he could continue to nag Engin to see if he found the woman from yesterday. How hard was it to find one small woman? The side of his mouth kicked up in a wry half-smile as he thought about the previous day. He didn't even know her name but yesterday had been the most alive that he had felt in years. The beauty had him on his toes at every turn and he hadn't wanted her to leave. 
Engin knew why he was trying to find out who she was. Serkan may have lied and said it was because of her scholarship, yes that had a small bearing on it, but if he was being totally honest, he wanted to see her again for his own personal reasons. Serkan wanted to match wits with her because no one had ever challenged him like she had, he wanted to spend time with her to see if the chemistry that he felt was only one-sided. Serkan wanted to know if a woman like her could be interested in someone like him. He sat and opened a project on his laptop but wasn't focused on it, instead his mind wandered to the previous day.
Eda Yildiz was excited to do the private flight attendant gig for Melo, she had only given her friend a hard time because that's what friends did. After the idiot Cenk broke up with her the day before Eda was at loose ends and it wasn't every day that you got to fly on a private plane. The supervisor had walked Eda through the entire checklist and seemed pleased that she had picked up everything so quickly, she even offered Eda the opportunity to work more often if she enjoyed today. Once the light came on that they had reached altitude Eda got up to begin serving breakfast, it was a short flight but she still needed to make a good impression. She was beginning to lean over to place the fruit salad on the tray when Eda realized that her passenger was none other than Serkan Bolat, she panicked and edged the fruit on the tray in front of him and ran back to her seat, pulling the curtain around. Eda knew that she had been a shrew the day before, yelling at him, but the man made her blood boil and not out of anger.
Serkan had the fleeting view of a slender arm, caught the trace of a heavenly scent and then nothing as his fruit salad appeared, he turned in his seat, "Excuse me? Hello?" There was no one, he rang the call button for the flight attendant but she was missing. There was nothing he could do but get up and go look for her if he wanted to have tea. Serkan headed back to the galley and pulled back the curtain only to see the spitfire from yesterday having some kind of an attack before his eyes.
He squatted in front of her and took her soft hands, "Look at me, breathe with me. Slowly, in and out." Once again, he was caught in the beauty of her eyes, framed by the long, thick lashes, her breathing began to even out, "That's better."
She couldn't tear her gaze away from his, "My breath caught, I suffer from claustrophobia and closing the curtain around the seat brought it on."
Serkan stood and drew Eda up with him, reaching around for the pot of tea, he handed Eda two mugs, "Come, sit with me. I insist." He kept hold of her hand and towed her, unresisting with him back to his seat. Serkan sat Eda next to the window, set the tea pot on the tray across from them, took the cups from her and set them down before seating himself. He reached across her and buckled her in when he noticed that she hadn't done it herself. Eda leaned forward and dipped her nose into his neck, Serkan smiled to himself, he would love to do the same to her and would the moment he got a chance.
