Chapter six

Karen wakes up by a loud, fog-horn noise that she later discovers as an announcer on the plane. "We are currently flying at around ten thousand feet and will begin our decent shortly."

Karen had a thumping headache which usually meant one thing – alcohol. 'What had happened last night? And why am I on a plane?' these were the first questions that came into her head. 'Oh right, England, Jack – BERNIE!' ::shiver ran down her spine:: 'Didn't the plane get delayed? Yer it did, what happened then?'

Karen looked around curiously, from right to left and came face to face with Lionel Banks.

"Morning gorgeous." Lionel said in his deep voice

"Hey…um…do you remember, what happened last night?" Karen asked slightly embarrassed

"Yeah! Can't you?" Lionel replied, quite hurt by Karen not remembering the great sex

"Well, at the moment, last night is sort of a blank." Karen said, still embarrassed but didn't know why, she never usually cared.

"so you don't remember what we did? The toilet? The kiss? Nothing?!" replied Lionel, hopefully jogging Karens memory.

"Oh, I don't know!" Karen said frustrated, "I'm going to go & put my face on."

Karen got up and went to the toilet door; she had a strange feeling of déjà vu, looked back at Lionel and went in. As she went in she saw that some things had been shoved about, the room had been disturbed. "What had happened in here?" Karen said to herself

FLASHBACK

Karen is backed up against the sink being passionately kissed by one Mr. Lionel Banks

"Oh no! What did I do?" Karen said to herself.

She got her make-up bag and placed it next to the sink. She went to the toilet and washed her hands, looking in the mirror as she did so.

FLASHBACK

Karen and Lionel standing side by side checking that they look normal

Karen dries her hands and begins to re-do her hair, it was a mess! She finds her brush in the bag and tidies up her hair. Next she had to work on her face, she always looked perfection. She reached in her make-up bag to get her foundation to cover up any spots/pimples that had occurred from not taking her make-up off at night. She put on her base coat and wanted shadow, as she reached in her mascara fell out and onto the floor. "Damn it!" Karen cursed, as she bent down to pick it up. As she was on her knees she saw something glittering on the floor, it was a little gem in the shape of a heart, it looked strangely familiar.

FLASHBACK

Lionel pulling down Karen's Knickers leaving her garter on but pulling a little gem off it on the way down.

A bit shaken by the last flashback Karen quickly stood up, briefly put on some shadow, blush, mascara etc and hurried out of the toilet.

"Well look at you Miss Sexy!" Lionel said while Karen smiled uncomfortably and sat down. As soon as she sat down Lionel tried to kiss her. She backed away in shock

"What are you doing?!" Karen asked angry

"Trying to kiss you, but your making it rather difficult." Lionel said while moving in on her again

Karen put her hand up in front of her face to stop him. "Don't!" Karen shouted, getting attention from other passengers waking up.

"Why? It didn't matter to you before!" Lionel complained

"Well I was drunk, and so were you!"

"So? It didn't mean I didn't want it. Didn't you?!" Lionel's face fell in front of her eyes

"Yer of course, but…erm…I'm just too tired. You know, lack of sleep and all." Karen made up some excuse without hurting Lionel's feelings. The last thing she wanted was Lionel on her case.

"Oh, ok," replied Lionel, believing every word she said "I'll wait until we get to England, then we can go to a five star hotel, open the mini-bar Lionel winks and wait to see what happens."

Karen didn't reply to that, or anything else he said, she was pretending to be asleep while trying to figure out a way to get rid of Lionel.

Before she knew it they had landed, Lionel had got their baggage and they were just about to turn the corner to the arrivals part of the airport.

"You know Lionel; I think it would be best if we went to different hotels. I came here to find someone and I don't – JACK!"

As they turned the corner the first person she saw had bright blue eyes, a winning smile and a homo vibe you could sense a mile off. Karen left Lionel and ran towards Jack, giving him a huge hug when they met.

"How did you know I was coming?" Karen asked, relieved that she had an excuse to get away from Lionel.

"Grace. She called me saying how she told you where I was. She sounded quite depressed actually, mumbling something about cake and being heartless, I didn't understand." Jack said looking confused while Karen stared at the floor looking guilty.
