Diary of a Flight Atendant - Meeting Terry

My crew and I just got to our hotel. We are in Baltimore, MD. I'm on my way up to my room when I spot this cute guy checking me out. He's grinning from ear to ear. As I'm walking past him, he begins to speak to me in a real friendly manor like he knows me. I'm looking at his face and thinking to myself that there is something very familiar about him. I'm racking my brain trying to figure out who he is. "Is he someone from my hometown?" I'm thinking.

Just as I'm walking away, it hits me who he is. "Oh my god! That is Terry Brown!" (Not his real name of course.) I'm thinking to myself. He was one of my favorite singers a few years ago. How could I have not recognized him? Now I'm kicking myself for not staying and having a conversation with him.

As I am beating myself up for a missed opportunity to talk with him, I hear, "Excuse me!" I turn around to see who he is talking to. No one else is in the hallway but him and me. He's talking to me! I'm screaming on the inside, but of course I'm not going to show him my excitement.

"My name is Terry!" he told me. I didn't hear about 20 seconds of what he was saying, because I think I blacked out or something. I just saw his lips moving, didn't hear what was coming out of them. I snapped out of it just in time to hear that he was inviting me to come have dinner with him...

I Love This Job!
