a pussycat; if he is on your bad side, he can be one ferocious cat.
When Iâm done telling Helen all the crazy Damien stories, Helen seems very impressed with how much fun he seems to be. She canât wait to meet him.
Well, Damien or no Damien, Helen canât wait to get to Honolulu. I just hope the trip lives up to her expectations.
never reward bad behaviour
The crew members are given a briefing before boarding the aircraft that will take us to Honolulu. It is nice to see Damien again, and he seems to be in terrific form. All the other crew seem really nice as well. Our manager is an attractive woman named Kate. I think I have flown with her before, but I am unable to recall when or where. My first impression of her is that she is delightful. She says that she has not been to Honolulu for over eight years: she is as excited as Helen to be going there.
I purchased an upgradable ticket for Helen. That means that she is entitled to sit at the pointy end of the plane should seats be available. It sounds good in theory, but it doesnât always work out the way it should. On this occasion everything goes to plan, and the spare seats that my computer research had showed me earlier are indeed still available.
Helen gets to sit in 1A. Helenâs excitement knows no bounds; it actually goes up a few notches, if that is at all possible.
I am greeting passengers with Kate at the front door, and when Helen comes onboard I introduce her to Kate as well as to the crew working at the front of the plane. They all make a big fuss over Helen, and as she takes her seat in 1A, the smile on her face could light up even the darkest of voids in the universe. Not only does Helen have the best seat in the house, the ground staff told me that the seat next to her is vacant. This is perfect, I think to myself.
Damien is working down the back of the aircraft, but comes up specifically to meet Helen. He asks me what Helenâs last name is, and I tell him it is Windsor. Damien approaches Helen and greets her with a formal bow. âWelcome onboard, Ms. Windsor â or should I say âYour Majestyâ.â
Helen doesnât quite get what Damien is on about, but smiles politely anyway. Damien uses his most refined voice to explain himself, âThe Queen of Englandâs last name is also Windsor. You are a Windsor, and you are sitting in 1A â the royal seat of this aircraft. You must be of royalty, so as your humble servant I shall refer to you as âYour Majestyâ. Is there anything I can get for you, Your Majesty?â
Helen giggles, already taken with Damien, and replies, âNo thank you, but thanks for asking.â
As Damien walks past me he whispers âSheâs a dollâ, referring affectionately to Helen.
I am pleased that Damien made the effort to meet Helen, and thank him for his gesture.
While we are talking, a tall and handsome man walks through the front door. He has his hand outstretched, his boarding pass held ready for us. I recognise the face. He is a well-known actor starring in one of the most popular soapies on television. Until I read the name on the boarding pass I was unaware of his real name; however, I do already know his characterâs name on the show.
Well, I was going to make up a pseudonym for this actor, so as to respect his privacy, but he is such a nice man and I only have the nicest things to say about him, so I am sure he wonât mind me writing about him or using his real name here. So, here goes. His name is Ronn Moss, and he plays Ridge Forrester in âThe Bold And The Beautifulâ. In person he is very sexy, much like he is onscreen, and seems a little bohemian as well. He has an earring or two, is sporting three-day-old stubble and is carrying a guitar. He looks more like a musician than an actor. While chatting with him later, I find out that he indeed is a musician as well.
I direct him to his seat which is 1K. He is in the seat
