Love in an Elevator

Posted in Figments, Neha Jhingon by Neha

And then there are people who dont talk much. I always suspected he was one of them. But my worst fears didn’t realize until the day we were finally left alone in the elevator.

It was a really hot day and I was running late for a really important meeting at work. Some financers were coming and were planning to sponsor the street children programme that i had just started.

Like every other day, I took the elevator. He was there. Smelling good like always. Melting my heart like always. Smiling like always.

I smiled back at him and puched the key to the parking. He kept looking but didn’t say a thing. At about the third floor, there was a small jerk and the elevator came to a screeching halt.

Even though my heart sank, my first reaction was to look at him. He seemed unperturbed. Almost as if it was all planned.

Trying to not sound panicky, I said, “Don’t you hate elevators?”
He didn’t pursue that.
“God damn it! What happened? Don’t you think we should call someone?”
He didnt really react.
“I’m calling the building super. You got any better ideas?”
Just a small shake of the head.
“Ok.”

I looked up the number in my phonebook and called.

“No one’s picking!”

Thats when he began laughing. Really scared, I shrunk away from him. With tears in his eyes, he said…

“You accidently pushed the stop button…”

    Stalling the elevators and caressing some breasts is what I’ve always done.
