1 What happens in the elevator?

I turn to see grey eyes staring intently at me.Β 

π‘€π‘Žπ‘šπ‘Ž!

I think I wet myself a little and it definitely wasn't pee. His nostrils flare and his eyes darken. I look around and notice I am laying on a sofa in an office. Dark ash walls with Brown hardwood floors, a deep brown desk sits at on my end, its polish shone as if to say "𝐼 π‘Žπ‘š π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘¦ 𝑒π‘₯𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑣𝑒 π‘‘π’‰π‘Žπ‘›π‘˜ π‘¦π‘œπ‘’". Before I can register more of the room. Someone flashes a tiny torchlight in my eyes.Β 

Ouch! You can always...Β 

Like I said earlier her vitals are fine, she fainted due to over-excitement or overwhelm. To be safe you can have her take these glucose tablets to further put your mind to ease, these will give her more energy and nothing more. I am through here, so I will be seeing you later on tonight.

I look at these two bozos conversing over my head as if I am not there. Like hello, I am the patient.

See you soon.Β 

They do a weird handshake thing where they grasp each other's elbow. Don't look to me for an explanation, they are the weirdos who decided to shake hands like that.

So, miss Zenith... You fainted out of sheer embarrassment.Β

Are you okay?Β 

I nod my head still mortified by my actions.Β

πΉπ‘™π‘Žπ‘ π’‰π‘π‘Žπ‘π‘˜

I am sitting in the lobby waiting for the receptionist to call me in for the meeting with Mr Jameson. I have prepared for this meeting for the past two weeks. I can almost feel the deal as a done deal. As I wait, I start to visualise my new bakery shop, I will call it "π‘“π‘œπ‘œπ‘‘π‘–π‘’π‘  π’‰π‘Žπ‘£π‘’π‘›".

Miss Zenith

Miss Zenith

I snap out of my fantasy to answer.Β 

Yes, I gather my things as I go to meet her. Thank you very much, which way to his office?Β 

Miss Zenith, Mr Jameson is in an important meeting that has been extended by another hour, he says to tell you to please exercise some patience and he will get to you.Β 

I manage a smile and thank her. She seems like a very nice lady. I notice a flash of an emotion I can't decipher pass through her face before I can register it, I shrug it off and tell her I will be back in 45 mins.Β 

Heading to the elevator, I intend to chill at the park nearby for the next 45 minutes. I enter the elevator and see a beautiful blonde lady inside. As the doors close, I try to make conversation with her.

Hi, I am Zenith, it will be...

I know you, you were here yesterday to have a meeting with Mr Jameson which didn't happen.

Oh, you know me, that is nice. I look to make new...

She interrupts me again. no one could forget that disaster you wore in form of an outfit. I for one never knew colour can be matched like that. She says all these while inspecting her nails. Acting like I was infesting the very air she breathed.

𝑇𝒉𝑒 π‘ π‘‘π‘’π‘π‘˜ 𝑒𝑝 𝑏𝑖𝑑𝑐𝒉.

Ummm

Yeah, I think you...

I interrupt her this time. Now hold up a second you prissy bitch, apparently, manners are obsolete in your dictionary, else you would realise when someone is just trying to be nice to you.Β 

What.. she sputters

I keep going, ignoring her reddening face. My first thought seeing you were, this is a beautiful classy lady. But all the clothes and jewellery in this world cannot fix the stank that is deep within. Honey, you're dead inside.

And before you come for me, I like to let you know I do not do things in half measures, if you come for me, I won't stop till I obliterate you. Stank ass bitch. Β 

I turn right in time for the elevator opening to let in, π‘šπ‘¦ π‘œπ’‰ π‘šπ‘¦.. Him. π‘Šπ’‰π‘œ 𝑖𝑠 π‘‘π’‰π‘Žπ‘‘? I notice him looking at me and I realise I must have spoken my thoughts aloud.Β 

I square my shoulders and say. What? I think you are cute? Bite me.Β 

He smiles, showing a little canine. I probably would.Β 

𝐷𝑖𝑑 𝑑𝒉𝑖𝑠 π’‰π‘œπ‘‘π‘‘π‘–π‘’ 𝑗𝑒𝑠𝑑 π‘“π‘™π‘–π‘Ÿπ‘‘ π‘šπ‘’? I smile shyly and look to the floor. I hear him chuckling lightly. I spend the next minute checking him out. He is quite tall, his moustache joins his beard and I recall one video I watched in recent times which said that is a red flag, well I am not looking to marry him just enjoying a little eye candy, he is wearing a suit but I can feel the power radiating off him, this is not a man who spends all his time behind a desk and his hair...

Ding!

The elevator stops and he gets out.

Gee, thirsty much? I could literally see your drool from the back.Β 

I whip my head to look at miss cranky ass skank making vomit faces.Β 

You π‘˜π‘›π‘œπ‘€ what, you wait here, I will be right back.

I put my hand in between the elevator to stop it from closing and run out to search for Mr Beautiful. As if luck is on my side, I see him standing close by with someone. I reach him in an instant and snatch his arm, pulling him to the elevator. I do not have to pull too hard because he follows me willingly. I stop the elevator from closing again and pull him in. Spinning around to face him. Before he can utter a word. I pull on his lapels, stand on tiptoes and kiss him.

𝑂𝒉 π‘šπ‘¦ π‘”π‘œπ‘ π’‰

It felt like I was zinged by electricity, his lips feel so good, I thought I was the one leading the kiss until his arms wound around my waist, he holds me even tighter and changes the direction of the kiss. More demanding, I seem to have lost my balance and if he should let go of me, I am reaching the floor.Β 

My hands caress the hair at the back of his head and he moans in my mouth. I kiss him even more fervently.Β 

Unwillingly, I let go of him, breathing hard as I do. He is still holding me, reluctant to let go of me too.Β 

When he finally does, I turn to face her, I almost feel pity for her, with her face white like she was just frightened out of her skin.Β 

So, you... I trail off realising I had forgotten why I started kissing him in the first place, as I rack my brain for a comeback.

She says. You... You. Do you know what you have done?

When I give a blank face.Β 

You kissed him. And I look at her as her brain must be more fried than mine and I was the one kissed senselessly.Β 

You fool. Mr Jameson is my boss and you just kissed his boss's boss.Β 

That is when it all starts to drop and make sense. With my eyes wide in shock, I turn to see him grinning at me.Β 

That's when it all goes black.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Β 

Jumping to my feet, I try to leave his office as quickly as I can in the most polite manner I could muster.Β 

Ian MacKay. I kissed Ian fucking MacKay!

I am very sorry for what I did earlier in the elevator it was very unwise of me. I understand now, that I won't be getting the investment I came for. Thank you for your time. I curtsy. π‘Šπ’‰π‘Žπ‘‘? 𝐷𝑖𝑑 𝑖 π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘™π‘™π‘¦ π‘šπ‘œπ‘‘π’‰π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘“π‘’π‘π‘˜π‘–π‘›π‘” 𝑑𝑖𝑝 π‘Ž π‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘‘π‘ π‘¦? π‘ƒπ‘Žπ‘™π‘š π‘‘π‘œ π‘šπ‘¦ π‘“π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘’π’‰π‘’π‘Žπ‘‘.

Dragging myself for my scattered thoughts. I curtsy again. π‘Šπ’‰π‘Žπ‘‘ 𝑑𝒉𝑒 π‘Žπ‘π‘‘π‘’π‘Žπ‘™ π‘“π‘’π‘π‘˜?!

Now before you go running on me Miss Zenith I want to let you know, that I have gone through your files while you were π‘œπ‘’π‘‘ and I am impressed with your idea. That being said, congratulations and I look forward to seeing your dream come to light.Β 

What!.... I freeze in my tracks. I open my mouth and close it again. No words coming out, just rehearsing to get that role where I play a fish.Β 

What? I whisper yell at last.Β 

He cocks an eyebrow with a smile playing on his lips. You Miss Zenith got the investment, you came for.Β
