"What should i do?" I ask myself while staring straight at the pin on the ground. I was more late than ever now, and if i get up and try to close the elevator from the inside. The stranger will see me with my hand over my boobs, and probably going to think i am so sort of a loose woman trying to do something sus in the elevator.
Or worse.
He could be a desperate creep who might force his way into the elevator hoping he could partake in whatever sussy activity he thought i was doing in it.
No, i can't let that happen.
"Please!" I loudly said.
"...can you not use the elevator now? I am currently in the middle of something personal." I softly spoke out to him hoping he will go away.
"What are you in the middle of?" He ask in a curious tone and i was immediately taken aback. I was now scared and angry at thesame time, but kept my cool so that he won't reciprocate whatever emotion i stupidly let out.
"Something important and personal. So can you please just leave and let me use the elevator all by myself..."
"Please." I said to him in a firm but somewhat serious tone.
"Well that's the problem, I can't. I have an injured leg and my doctor said i should only use an elevator if i want to go in and out of my apartment. And today i want to go out of my apartment to do something important!" He conveniently revealed, and his words made my blood boil.
"Is this guy trying so hard to see me in my vulnerable state or what?" With a pissed tone, i muttered.
I can swear that nothing is wrong with his leg and he is probably just faking that so he can enter the elevator and take a quick peek at my boobs. He probably now know that my bra was off my chest and my boobs were on display cause of the way i positioned my hands on them.
"f*****g creep."
I muttered in disgust and anger. My face was now turning red and i don't even know if it's because of the blood circulating down my head or if it's because of how extremely angry i was at the creep.
"So.. what are you in the middle of?" He ask again.
"Maybe I can help." He takes a step forward and said with a serious tone. And that's when i instantly lost it.
"This!"
"This is what i was in the middle of you creep!" I instantaneously rise up from the position i was for the past three minutes and showed him my chest.
*Complete silence*
"You..." I manage to break the silence with a word while i gazed at the creep in front of me. He was nothing like a creep but more like a edgy prince charming.
"Oh." He uttered and lock eyes with me.
"Oh my." He said and look away.
"i am so sorry." He voiced out with a sorry tone and quickly turn around with the assistance of a walking stick. His leg was really broken and seeing him move with the aid of a walking stick made me feel bad.
"No, it's okay." I stretch out my right hand to him and said. "Wait!" I uttered and quickly pick up the pin from the ground.
"You can enter the elevator now."
"It's fine, there is absolutely no problem." I cheerfully said to the guy who i had just labelled a creep earlier. At this point even i was surprise by the sudden change of attitude i had towards the guy. Maybe it's because he really is a cripple and that's why my attitude suddenly change towards him or maybe it's because he is extremely handsome.
"Are you sure?" He ask but with a slightly different accent.
"Yes..very. You can get in." I cheerfully said and quickly move to the right end of the elevator so that he won't feel awkward being in the elevator with me.
"Okay." He said understand his breathe but i heard him.
"Are...are you not going to fix your.." He hesitanted to say the word like a true gentleman will do.
"Bra." He manage to say it.
"It's fine, i will just fix it inside the elevator. I am in an hurry and you have somewhere important to be. So get in the elevator and let's go." I suddenly sounded desperate. "Okay then." He slowly turn around and walk into the elevator while avoiding eye contact with me.
"Okay." I took a quick glance at him, muttered and press the elevator door close. I then press the last floor button and down we went.
"So you live around here?" I turn to him and ask, forgetting i still haven't fix my bra.
"Yeah. I just moved here." He answered.
"Okay. So you live alone all by yourself?" I wasted no time to ask.
"Yes." He answered.
"Cool." I act like i did not care if he was single or not, but deep down i was leaping for joy.
"So--" He was about to say something, but i cut his words short.
"So what?"
"You want to know if i am single too?" I asked with a rather desperate tone. I knew i was throwing myself on a stranger i just met in the elevator two minutes ago but how can i not. The dude is the epitome of prince charming. He has a well chiseled jawline with a slightly full beard, perfectly sculpted nose, honey-yellow eyes which i didn't know any human had, and a full long black hair which he packed in a bun style. He is also tall and masculine, and he has a full eyebrow that accentuates his dark gaze perfectly.
He was a walking perfection and i can bet that every single lady in this city wants.
"No." He answered, and his voice snap me back to reality.
"Are you not going to fix that?" He pointed at my chest and ask while still ignoring eye contact with me.
"Oh." I uttered with a smile and quickly turn towards the elevator mirror to fix in the pin. I tired my best to pin them back together but the damn pins still won't budge.
"I suggest you hurry with that." The handsome stranger suddenly said, and i turn to face him.
"...they are about six guys at the building foyer and the elevator will soon reach the last floor." He added.
"How--"
"I just know. Don't ask." He quickly said.
"Well, i am trying my best to pin these damn things together, but they won't--" My words were suddenly cut short by him.
"Maybe i can help with that." He unexpectedly stated and i was both surprised and ecstatic by what he just said.
