As soon as Christian left i took a long sigh. When he walked in he changed the feel of the whole room. I had never met anyone like that before. When Just returned from his flight with Jessie. I wanted to get more information on this mysterious Christian Grey, without sounding too obsessed.
"Justin?" I asked trying to get his attention
"Yes, darling" Justin teased.
"Who is Christian Grey?" I asked
"Oh" He said with a long sigh "He's a very rich business man. He likes to fly himself to most of his business meetings, unless they are international" Justin explained
Oh i see" I said with a perplexed tone
"Why do you ask?" Justin said curiously.
"He just came in to get the key to hangar 5 and i have never seen him before" I said
"All the girls around here have huge crushes on him" Justin commented "Did he take your breath away or something, you usually don't ask me to give the 411 on other pilot's"
"He did a bit" I admitted.
"He doesn't flirt much, but he's very respectful" Justin said "i'm not entirely sure if he is taken or not"
Justin turned to Jessie to give his final comments on flight lesson, then gave him some chapters to read before Jessie thanked him and scurried out of the front door. Justin turned back to me, then down at his watch.
"I still have 20 min" He said "see you in a bit i need to eat"
I sat there at my desk fighting the insatiable urge to look up Christian Grey's flight records and personal demographics. He was so attractive and compelling. I wonder how old he was. He must be older than me, at least he looked that way. I was one of the younger student pilot's as i was only 23 years old. Christian came back several hours later to return the key to Hangar 5. I felt him walk in the room before the door opened. How is it that this man has such a command over everything around him. He was nothing short of fascinating.
"I just want to return the key to hangar 5" Christian said approaching the desk.
"Sure" I said staring at his gorgeous face "i mean thank you for returning it"
"Your welcome" He said brightly "What's your name i haven't seen you around here before"
"Ana, my name is Ana" I stammered feeling a bit nervous "I've only been in dispatch for 3 months"
"Nice to meet you Ana, I'm Christian" He said "Welcome to Seattle flying club, do you fly?"
"Yes" I said happily "I'm working on my private pilot's license. Then i'm hoping to go commercial"
"You seem very ambitious and young, i'm sure you will attain it" He said "are you close to finishing your PPL?"
"I should be done in the next 3 months" I said smiling
"If you are looking for more flight hours, Grey enterprises is looking for a pilot to take board members to business meetings and conferences" Christian said
He pulled a business card from inside his pocket, and passed it to me.
"Thank you, i don't have any words right now" I said totally shocked.
"I hope we see each other in the future" Christian responded politely.
"Me too, this is an amazing opportunity" I cried.
Christian waved to me and walked out the door leaving the office empty and lonely. This was the miracle i needed. i needed as many flight hours as i could get but they were very expensive. Working for Christian would allow me to get my flight hours while getting paid. A win-win situation. I wondered by he had offered me the job? There were so many other up and coming pilots, some of them closer to finishing their Private Pilot's license than me. Many of them had more hours. Was i just in the right place at the right time? or Did this handsome, mysterious man see something in me that he didn't see in anyone else. I placed the card in my wallet, intending to call later. Justin came back into the office to mingle with mm in-between flight students. Sofia came in just before my shift ended to do a discovery flight with a potential student. Cindy came in 10 minutes early for her shift. I updated her on the shift and let her know that everything was done except setting up the classroom upstairs for Ground school students.
"How was the day?" Cindy as she walked in placing her purse beside the desk.
"Great!" I said getting up from my chair "I finished all the receipts for the month, all i need you to do is set up the upstairs classroom for ground school this evening"
"That's it. Your the best Ana" Cindy gushed.
"Can I ask you something?" I said trying to hide my interest "Who is Christian Grey?"
"Ohhhhh!" Cindy answered "So he came in today?"
"Yes, he wanted to go for a joy ride" I said
"He's a rich playboy that loves to fly" She replied "Did he flirt with you at the desk?"
"Not, really. He was polite, kind and sweet" I said smiling.
"Ana, your very pretty, however i can tell you that you would not be the first girl at this desk he has flirted with" Cindy warned "keep that in mind"
"Who is he flirting with?" i asked a bit shocked and disappointed.
"Not me obviously" She said pointing at her chubbier physique "But some of the other dispatchers that used to work here"
"Did any of them go on a date with him?" I asked curious "Are they still members of the flight club?"
"I shouldn't even be tell you any of this because i know you well enough Ana, When you get that look in your eye. You are ready to go full P.I on me here" Cindy said
"I'm not going to do anything crazy i promise" I said making a scouts honuor motion.
"OK! Jillian went on a date with him 6 months ago. She's still a member of the flying club but she doesn't fly often. Financial problems i believe" Cindy Said.
Cindy grabbed a small blank piece of paper from the desk and wrote her first and last name on it. She looked up at me with a look that told me that i should not follow in Jillian's steps. A caring look as though to warn me of this seemingly charming Mr. Right.
