“Hello? Hello? Miss Zoey?” The sound of his deep musky voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I blinked and looked up at him.
“Hi,”.. I said, in a loud tone, I could hear my heart pounding loudly. “How did you know my name?” I blurted out immediately.
He nodded toward my chest “Your name is written right there on your ID”..
“Oh! Right.” I glanced down. I almost forgot I still had that on. I wanted to let him know I forgot my ID and I was about to go get it as an excuse not to ride the elevator with him but it turned out it was right there on my neck. I could have sworn I’d taken it off and put it in my bag earlier.
“Aren’t you coming in?” He asked again.
“Yes, I am.” I answered, stepping into the elevator. The doors closed right behind me and it was just the two of us.
I can’t believe I was the one standing close to this hot man right now. Why does he have such an effect on me? Oh! Common Zoey. Please get your s**t together.
Many crazy thoughts started running through my mind. What if the elevator shuts down for hours and we are stuck. What if he grabs my ass like a pervert because he is standing right beside me now. I started to regret sharing the elevator immediately I stepped into it. This man is intoxicating and hot, like seriously attractive. I could feel myself throbbing down there, my whole body reacting and aching for his touch. My breathing was uneven and palpable, and I was still trying to keep a calm straight face.
“So you work here?”.. he asked, making me quiver and out of my nasty thoughts. His gaze bored into me like he was checking me out but I had to force myself not to look away or stumble on my words. My eyes darted all over the place that I ended up staring at the floor buttons instead of his face. I was seriously making a fool of myself. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that.
“Yes, I do,” I replied. “What about you?”…
“Sometimes. More like a hobby.” He said, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
“Is that a joke?”…
“Why would I joke with you?”..
“Because this is literally someone’s dream job,” I said. He had the decency to laugh out loud.
“So you are annoyed because of a hobby I love doing?” He asked.
“No.. no, I just. Never mind” I muttered, managing to smile back at him too. What kind of money does this guy have such that working at a place like Crown Towers International was just a hobby to him?
“Not minding at all. How was your first day?..
“How did you know it’s my first day?” I asked again. Genuinely surprised..
“Because you obviously act like it.” He simply said.
The elevator came to a halt on the ninth floor and a group of eight workers joined in. They were loudly discussing the stock market and how they were able to buy crypto before it jumped up by 30 percent that morning and they are so glad they’d gotten the heads-up emails about it from the company before it went up. Apparently, that came from the top boss. And they’re grateful for working in the company.
A company that doesn’t only make you work but actually helps you make more money.
Mr cutie was standing right across from me now and we were busy stealing glances at each other without saying anything else. After a minute, he slowly moved over to my side. Our bodies almost touching. I stiffened. His scent filled my nostrils and space around me, my body felt warm. Then standing next to him made me realize how tall he was. If I am five-two tall, he has to be at least six-two or maybe more.
He adjusted his tie and cleared his throat at the exact moment I did without making much sound, my mind began wandering again. I pictured his hands placed in my hair, me on my knees, giving him my throat to thrust into and use me as he wanted while I gag for breath and tears leave my eyes. How my lips would be so swollen afterwards. The thoughts made my face heat up.
The elevator came to a halt at the ground floor and everyone highlighted, moving in different directions.
“I guess we will be seeing each other more often”…
“I assume so. Since we work in the same building”..
“Alright then. See you when next I see you.. Have a good night's rest.” He said. I nodded, “You too.”
He walked towards the exit. The two guards bowed to him as he crossed the revolving door without hesitation. An older looking man had the door opened for him while he entered into the parked sports car, another black SUV trailing behind them and then pulled away into the driveway. And that was when it sank in that— that man is no ordinary employee indeed.
I shook myself out of my fantasy, as I walked through the parking lot into my car and drove home.

The apartment smelled like corruption, sin and lots of s*x the second I walked in, realizing my dear roommate was busy with whatever the heck he was doing. Their screams were loud enough that it was about to bring the whole walls down.
“I’m home, Parker!” I called out. “Please can you keep it down a little bit. Some of us have been single and celibate for a long time. Jesus Christ!”…
I kicked off my shoes immediately, went straight into my room and shut the door. I almost threw myself into my bed when I realized I don’t lie on my bed with clothes I wore out. I had to freshen up even though I still smelled so good.
Few minutes later, Parker was knocking on my door like an untrained goat. “I am here for my gist, babygirl. And hope you are dressed up already”…
“Are you done screwing with your bitches? I thought you were gay?”….
“Sometimes, when my bitches need it badly”..
“You’re something else. Ever heard of celibacy and self care?”…
“Doesn’t seem to matter to me though. What’s that enlightening me please?”… a hint of excitement across his face.
“How do you do that without catching feelings?”.. I asked, genuinely curious.
“Sometimes this is called self care too. Don’t you think? You should try it out yourself.” He laughed like it was the funniest thing he’d ever said.
“f**k off, Parker”… I said, while he clutched his chest dramatically, pretending to be wounded by my words.
“So?” He said dropping the act. “How's the guy that made my girl's stomach flutter? The hottest man she has ever seen.” He said the last part in an air quote.
“Nothing much to tell. Just that I was imagining things and suddenly bumped into him. He caught me”..
“That’s all?”… He asked, curiously.
“Yes. That’s all”.
“You didn’t flirt with him, not even a little? Okay at least tell me you kissed him?”..
“Eww..Parker! For God’s sake! He’s a total stranger. I can’t disgrace myself like that.”
