A Destiny Shared
A crowded terminal in a large metropolitan airport was not Emery's first choice of places to be at two o'clock in the morning on a Friday, but Mother Nature it
seemed did not pay attention to individuals need for sleep. She glanced at her phone as made her way toward the bathroom; she had just enough time to
make a quick trip to the bathroom before she boarded her plane. When she got to the bathroom she saw there was an enormous line for the woman's
restroom, she shifted her weight back and for impatiently for a few seconds, and glanced again at her phone and then to the men's bathroom. With an
aggravated huff Emery stalked toward the men's restroom and entered before she could change her mind. Her cheeks turned scarlet as she became aware the
room was not quite empty. She quickly made her way to the only stall in the restroom, no sooner had she got the door closed then she heard and loud chuckle
from the urinal right next to the stall she was in. "You come here often? The man said stilll chuckling under his breath. Emery did not respond but her cheeks
were flaming. She quickly finished what she had come to do and stood near the door hesitantly, when she finally had talked herself into it she opened the door
and walked quickly towards the door with her head down, she had made it about half way to the door when she ran into someone. "Whoa, take it easy there
missy" the same voice chuckled. Emery's cheeks grew even redder as she looked up into the face of a very attractive man, " I'm so sorry" She squeaked when
she finally found her voice. "Its fine, no harm done. Usually when I get bumped into at the loo it's no one quite as pretty as you." "Thank you" Emery replied
puzzled. "My name is..." As the man began to speak a voice over the intercom announced that boarding had started for Emery's flight "It was nice to meet you,
but I really have to go" She said as she quickly made her way out the door and into the crowds of people. " Gwaine" the man finished with a sigh, "My names Gwaine".
Emery rushed out the door of the men's bathroom and through the crowd towards her boarding area, sighing with relief when she realized that the line was
fairly short. She quickly made her way to the front of the line, and again felt herself blush but for an entirely different reason. "I love you hair!" squealed the
young man behind the desk. "Thank you" she again found herself answering, as she reached her hand up to run through her fiery pixie cut. "I just got it cut"
she continued."Well I think it's brilliant" smiled the young man, "My names..." someone clearing their throat behind him cut off whatever he was going to say.
He slowly turned and addressed them hesitantly "Ana, what can I help you with?" The woman behind him was slightly older but could have been his sister.
"You can help the people in your line" Ana answered sounding exasperated "Honestly, it's your first day and you already are slacking off" The boy just grinned
at Emery "What can I do for you?" He asked still smirking at Ana's exasperation as she walked back to her station. "I need a seat on the supply plane to
Beijing" Emery answered with a slight smile at the boy's antics. "Really?" the boy asked looking surprised. "Yes, I'm headed over there to help with disaster
relief" Emery said as he handed her his ticket. She turned to go, and then turned back around "I hope I didn't get you in trouble" she said as she nodded in
Ana's direction. "Its fine, she's just worried. It took a lot to get me this job and Ana has always looked out for me" Emery just smiled as she head towards the
plane.
