[M4F] Airport Gazes

At Gate 27 of JFK Airport, James stood leaning casually against a pillar, his gaze occasionally drifting over the bustling crowd. Tall and effortlessly stylish, he exuded a quiet confidence that turned heads. His tailored suit and easy smile hinted at a man comfortable in his own skin.

Across the lounge, Charlotte sat by the window, her long legs crossed elegantly as she scanned her phone. Her beauty was striking - a blend of sophistication and natural allure. Her eyes, a captivating shade of hazel, caught glimpses of James through the glass, and she found herself intrigued by his presence.

Their eyes met briefly as Charlotte looked up from her phone, and a spark seemed to flicker between them. James returned her gaze with a subtle nod and a half-smile, acknowledging the unspoken connection. She felt a rush of excitement, wondering if he would come over and strike up a conversation.

Meanwhile, James was lost in thought, not quite contemplating approaching her. He found himself inexplicably drawn to Charlotte's magnetic presence, her elegance and the way her laughter echoed softly in his mind. He glanced at his watch, noting they still had some time before boarding.

Charlotte glanced up again, catching James looking at her. This time, she didn't look away, offering a tentative smile. He took this as his cue. With a casual stroll, James moved closer, their eyes locked in a silent dance of curiosity and attraction.

As he reached her side, James opened his mouth to say something, but just then, the boarding announcement interrupted the moment. They exchanged a knowing glance, a shared disappointment at the timing. Charlotte's heart raced, hoping he would still find a way to continue their conversation despite the impending departure.

The announcement repeated, urging passengers to proceed to the gate. James hesitated, his mind racing with possibilities. Would he take the chance and ask for her number? Or would he let this opportunity slip away, leaving them both wondering what could have been?

With a final glance and a faint smile, James gestured towards the gate, silently asking if she was ready. Charlotte nodded, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. The tension between them hung in the air, promising the potential for something more as they joined the line to board the flight.

As they queued together, the question lingered: would either of them seize the moment and break the ice, or would they let the opportunity slip away amidst the chaos of boarding?
