Lena Torrance
"I can't believe we got this pass to attend such a gala, Anas. You're unbelievable." I squealed at my best friend
Anas rolled her eyes at me as we made way out of the taxi we had taken to this place.
The building was a huge hotel.
I pulled down my long black dress and rolled my eyes.
"And I can't believe you forced me to come here with you, Anas, I already told you I have an interview tomorrow and I should be preparing for that." I dragged even though it was too late. I was already here with her.
"Oh, come on, I know you'll have a lot of fun here so don't worry. Let's go inside."Anas took my hand and pulled me inside.
It was a rich gala and she had gotten a free pass from her boss at where she worked as a secretary to come and enjoy the show. She didn't want to come alone so she begged me to come with her and I being a very good friend, decided to come with her even though I had an interview tomorrow morning.
"We can't spend more than an hour here, Anas." I told her when we entered.
"Just give me an hour, okay."
She gave me a sad look and I sighed. She was looking beautiful today in her makeup, thanks to me.
Her short red dress was hugging her figure and her stilettos were making her appear a little taller than me even though she wasn't.
The gala was supposed to end at eleven pm so we stuck around enjoying the show. Anas met her boss and I got to thank him for getting me the interview opportunity.
That company only accepts recommended employees for interview and it was Anas's boss who has given such a recommendation for my interview tomorrow.
They showed us around and even though I thought I wouldn't enjoy myself, I really did.
We had a few drinks and laughed a lot. We met some guys too which made the night a very memorable one.
The one who kept me entertained was funny and nice.
I needed to go use to the bathroom so I told Anas to excuse me, passing my purse to her.
I went to a small door which I found at the back of the vast hall and the place got me into an empty hallway.
Was this place out of bounds because if I'm seen here? Because I'll be dead.
I tried opening the doors to the hotel rooms, trying to see if I could get one opened and use the bathroom but all of them were locked.
I didn't give up, I kept trying the other doors and luckily one brown door opened and I rushed into it, closing it tightly behind me.
Before a voice yelled at me to stop, the door was closed.
The guy sighed and sat down on a chair.
"Just a dummy I needed."
I frowned at that but my bladder was pushing me way too hard.
The room looked like an attic and the guy was handsome.
I knew that shouldn't be what I should be looking at but I did.
He had black hair which looked spiky and he was in a neat suit.
"I'm really sorry to barge inside like that but, Do they have a bathroom here?" I asked quickly and the guy gave me a skeptical look but showed me a door.
I quickly ran there and found the bathroom, to pee.
I did so to my satisfaction and I was really relieved. What was more orgasmic than finding a bathroom after wanting to pee for more than thirty minutes?
When I was done I washed my hands and left the room.
"Thanks." I whispered, walking towards the door to get out of here when his voice stopped me.
"You can't open it, it's locked."
I laughed and grabbed the door handle wanting to pull it open but it didn't even budge.
Was he playing a game with me?
I laughed nervously.
Maybe he was kidding. I pulled the door handle again but it didn't even move.
I started sweating.
"You've got to be kidding me, Can you please.... "
"It's locked. Unless someone opens from outside, we're stuck. That's why I was yelling for you not to close it but it turns out you weren't even listening." He barked and I ran my fingers through my black hair.
He's got to be joking.
This handsome guy got to be pulling my leg.
"I didn't hear you, can't you call someone to come and get this door opened or something?"
"No, I left my phone at home." He shrugged, loosening his tie.
Okay, I was scared now. My phone was also with Anas.
I wanted to get the hell out of this place, Anas might be looking for me.
I turned to the door and started banging hard on it but the thing was too hard and it felt soundproof too.
I was scared!
"Somebody help me, anyone! Hello? Hello?"
"This place is out of bounds no one is going to hear you, they usually open this place up every morning so we'll have to wait." He explained calmly.
He looked too calm for my liking.
"I can't stay here, I have to leave."
Suddenly, I couldn't breathe anymore. The room had a desk and some book shelves and that bathroom and nothing else. I couldn't stay here until morning, especially with a guy.
"Do I look like I want to stay here?" He snapped.
"I don't know. I just want to get the hell out of here. Have you tried to open it, maybe... "
He gave me a weird look and I shut up.
He took off his suit, leaving him in his black shirt and pants as he took a seat on the desk.
I couldn't control myself, I started crying.
What if no one finds us? Then we'll be stuck here and we'll starve to death.
He saw the tears and I turned away from him.
"Don't tell me you're scared?" He chuckled.
"Of course, I am. What if no one finds us? What if we're stuck here forever, then we'll die of hunger and thirst." I sobbed.
I don't even know why I'm being so paranoid.
"They'll find us tomorrow, don't worry." He assured.
I slipped onto the floor, hugging myself.
"I'm Charles, what's your name?"
I stared up at him like was this really needed right now but he just shrugged.
"At least, we're here."
"I'm Lena." I whispered.
Cold air blew from the window and I felt a little warm. I shouldn't have worn this sleeveless dress.
"Here, you can have my coat."
He walked over and draped his coat over me and took a seat beside me, making me nervous.
"We need to cuddle up so that we don't freeze to death." He whispered.
"Thanks." I muttered.
"How did you get locked up in here?"
"My girlfriend disappeared at the gala, I came around looking for her only to realize that this door was not to be closed." He laughed and I joined in sniffing.
"You're beautiful, Lena." My name coming out of his mouth sounded so sexy and I could feel his eyes boring into me.
He was going to hit on me again? Didn't he just mention his girlfriend?
I didn't look at him, I was nervous.
"Thank you."
"And i'm not flattering you, I mean it."
I nodded.
He tilted my face to his and smirked.
"That's more like it." He said, still holding my chin and before I knew it, he crushed his lips into mine.
