Paris and Pilots
Jennifer exited her cab, she took in a deep breath and looked at the hotel that she would be staying in it was very luxurious and expensive one. But she knew that hospital company that she worked for covered it for her the only thing she had to worry about was the stuff that she wanted to get, like souvenirs and extra clothes that she liked and bought. Paris the city of romance or so all her friends had told her 'before she boarded the plane in New York City to come to Paris.' But now being here it was actually pretty breath taking where as before she had doubted that it could be anything more special then that of the gigantic big apple of the United States. But because she was the youngest best doctor that her boss has ever seen, he had sent her over to Paris for a conference that would be a great experience for her, 'or so her boss had told her.'
Jennifer was so lost in thought that when she had all her bags out of the cab and was about to walk forward, she took one step and ran right into someone. Jennifer slammed into them with a bit more force then she thought and they both went tumbling, the person she had run into grabbed around her waist and turned them to were they would land on their back and she would land on top of them. Hitting the ground she heard what she now knew was a man grown underneath her, she had her hands gripping his shoulders and her head was in between his shoulder and neck.
"Are you ok?" The man asked, his hands still on her lower back. Jennifer raised her head and looked down into two amazingly green eyes. Jennifer was speechless, it was shocking of how strong a hold those two eyes had over her and she doesn't even know this person. When she finally looked down at what he was wearing and realized that he had a uniform on and it was American, Air Force to be exact.
"Yeah, um, I'm fine." She said continuing to stare into his eyes.
"Good, um you wanna.." The guy said. Jennifer cleared her throat and quickly started to get off of him.
"Right um sorry." She said as she stood up and reached a hand down for him to get up. After they were both up they both started dusting dirt off there clothes. "I am so sorry I didn't even see you there." Jennifer said as she helped him dust off his uniform suit.
"It's alright really." The man said as his cheeks went red and he stiffened in uncomfortable stance and then did Jennifer realize what she was doing and her cheeks went red too and dropped her hands.
"Uh sorry again." Jenifer said keeping her eyes away from his looking anywhere but there knowing she would do something stupid again.
"It's alright, I'm John, just uh John." John said as he held out his hand. Jennifer smiled and took it.
"Alright John, just John, I'm Jennifer." She said and shook his hand. John smiled at her and she blushed and pulled her hand back.
"So are you staying here at this hotel?" John asked indicating over his shoulder at the hotel they were standing in front of.
"Yeah uh, I'm not really used to all the luxury, but my work apparently couldn't afford to get anything less." Jennifer said with a smile as she mocked her own job as a deflection of the crimson color that now adorned her cheeks. But it was of no use as John looked at her and saw that she was blushing, he smiled.
"I think it's the perfect place for someone as beautiful as you." John said then his cheeks went red as well and his eyes darted to the ground. Jennifer smiled at his shyness and relaxed a little.
"So are you staying here too?" She asked.
"Uh yeah, business as well, you know how it goes." John said with a smile looking back up at her now that they were on a safer subject of work.
"So what do you do, I mean like in the Air Force?" She asked while she moved a strand of her hair out of her eye and behind her ear. John hesitated before answering until she put her hand down which seemed to snap him back into action.
"I'm a fighter pilot, but occasionally I'll do test flights, and that is my reason for being here in Paris. They have built themselves some knew plane and wanted a test pilot to take it up and since they want to sell it to the United States, I'm there Ginny pig for today." John said with ease comfortable talking about his work. Jennifer smiled she knew the feeling she also loved her job. "So what do you do?" John asked.
"I'm a Medical Doctor, I'm here for a conference that is supposed to help update medicine that they are using here in Paris." Jennifer said shifting her purse. For awhile they talked about there jobs when John looked down at his watch and realized that he had to get going, he had totally forgot the time.
"I am really sorry to cut you off but I just realized I'm late for a meeting." John said reaching over and grabbing her hand and squeezing it. She smiled she also knew how that felt needing to be somewhere and running late.
"It's ok I totally understand." Jennifer said then blushed did she really just say totally, oh god she sounded like a teenager with a crush. She probably wont even see this man again.
"Colonel, we have to get going!" Another man said running up to them. "Oh sorry ma'am, Colonel sir we are really running late." John nodded his head.
"Major." John tilted his head to Jennifer. "Jennifer, this is Evan, he's my second, and close friend. Although I can never get him to use my name no matter how hard I try." John smirked.
"Hello, Miss Jennifer, Colonel time." Evan said tilting his head toward the limo then winking at Jennifer, she laughed. John shook his head again.
"Alright, alright, I think I stalled long enough." He said and headed to the limo, Jennifer turned to go when she heard her name, she turned back around.
"Have a good day hope you enjoy Paris. See you around." Then he was gone out of sight and driving away. Jennifer smiled, yeah Paris the city of Romance.
