Haram in Arabic means forbidden. These events happened a year ago. I had totally forgotten until I decided to reminisce on a holiday last year. It was an epic holiday but I totally forgot about how the holiday started!
I worked for a big airline once upon a time which meant I got discounted tickets which was great but travelling on standby was nerve wracking. You had to wait until an hour before the flight departed before they would let you on to the flight.
The handsome check in agent at staff travel confirmed that my phone number matched on the system so that when I was accepted onto the flight, the airline would message and I could finally check my bags in and make a dash for plane. I was well trained in this, it was always frustrating when the flight wasn’t full but you still found yourself waiting to get a seat.
He was very flirtatious and was bantering with me about my trip and off I went.
As I got through security, I picked up my phone to see a WhatsApp from said check in agent saying bring me something back from my trip. His name was Ismail. It doesn’t matter if I thought he was handsome, it was unprofessional. I chose to ignore it. I mean I totally could have complained and got him fired but I am not a dick.
I was on the flight, the crew know you’re staff. It says on their long-detailed sheet of all the passengers. The pursor (person in charge of ALL the crew and makes all the calls on what happens on the flight) was male and came up to me later in the flight to check if I was ok. To be honest it wasn’t uncommon for this to happen, they tend to ask if you are crew, I wasn’t, and where were you off too and if they could get you anything.
As most places do, they take care of their own and I thought that's exactly what he was doing. Figuring out if I was crew so he could slip me something special. Not like that. Although maybe it was like that and I wasn't reading between the lines.
It was lovely, he was cute and giggly and I thought he might be gay. FYI I don’t have a gay-dar so when his female colleague, second in command came up to me and got chatting, I was a bit taken a back when she said that she was wing manning him and wondered if I was single and would I be interested in going out with him.
Does anyone know how I can get me one of those gay-dars? Or if there is a course so you know when flirting is actually happening and you aren't being over friendly in the first place? That'd be great thanks.
I was flattered but I told her that I was single. Maybe best to tell him that I was in a relationship? I didn’t want to hurt his feelings, he was sweet but not my type plus I was about to go and get cock blocked in Mallorca wasn’t I?
