"I don't think we have anything to talk about," she said and she walked to open the elevator so she could leave. Right on time, he came to stop her and during the commotion, she ended up pressing random buttons and she felt it stop. "What happened? Why's it not opening?" she asked. "I think it jammed," he said. "What?! How?!" she asked scared. "It got stuck," he said and she started panicking. "Oh my goodness! Why did that happen?" she asked. He walked closer to her and placed his hands on her shoulders then said," You don't have to worry. Everything is going to be alright. I'm right here."
"Don't touch me! This is all your fault!" she shouted pushing him off her.
He gave her the space she needed and walked to lean against the wall. After a long silence between them, she asked," How long will it take before they notice that we are stuck here?" By this time, she was sitting on the floor and hugging her folded knees.
"It depends. We can spend the entire night or even a day," he said. "What?!!" she exclaimed. "Yes," he affirmed. "Oh my goodness- " Before she could complete her sentence, she felt the elevator jerk with great force and she squeezed herself in the corner then tightly closed her eyes. "What is that?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"They might have noticed and are trying to get us out of here. Come, let me hold you," he said as he walked to her.
"No! Don't touch me," she told him and he stopped where he was.
She curled herself in the corner and she told herself that everything was going to be alright. She had heard that such scenarios happen and that they were so scary.
Not long after, there was another jerk and this time, it was much stronger than the previous one.
This time round, she didn't wait to be called, as she crawled hurriedly to him, burying herself in his embrace. He held her tightly, as he assured her that everything was going to be alright. "Shhh, don't worry. I'm right here and I assure you that everything is going to be alright," he coaxed her in a soothing voice.
It felt like heaven holding her like this once again. It's been so long and he placed his face in the crook of her neck as he brought her even closer.
Li Fei forgot about everything else and she snuggled closer into his warm embrace and strong arms. She felt safe that even when the elevator jerked again, she didn't flinch. Inhaling his scent that she missed so much, it felt so relaxing and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
When he felt her breathing become even, he called," Li Fei." When she didn't respond, he understood that she was sleeping. Raising his head, he took a look at her sleeping face and he brought his hand forward before caressing her cheek with his fingers.
When his eyes fell on her slightly parted lips, he felt the urge to kiss them. He had been waiting for this opportunity and he wasn't going to waste it. Dipping his head forward,
he captured her lips with his, and he kissed her lips gently. He sucked on her lips, playing with them as he gently pulled them. He captured them again and with every passing second, his lips were becoming more and more aggressive.
"Let go of her!!" he heard a voice and he raised his eyes to see Jianyu who was standing with two security men at the entrance of the elevator.
"How dare you kiss her?!" he asked, raged as he made his way inside the elevator. As he bent to carry her from his arms, he pushed his hands away and he glared at him before saying," Stay away from her." "She's my girlfriend! I have every right to be with her," he said. Jin Liwei gathered her in his arms and he stood up, walking outside the elevator.
"Give her to me!" demanded Jianyu following after him. He paused and glared at him before saying," Stay quiet! You will wake her up."
He returned the glare at him and Jin Liwei walked again. Reaching the parking lot, he was taking her to his car when Jianyu blocked his way.
"Where do you think you're taking her?" "It is my business," he answered. "You think she will be happy if she wakes up in your arms? She hates you. She will be furious, so hand her over to her boyfriend," he spoke.
Thinking about it, Jin Liwei realized that it was true. She wouldn't be happy waking up with him next to her. "Take her," he said and Jianyu stretched his arms to get her.
"Be gentle," Jin Liwei warned as he was taking her. "Don't touch my girlfriend ever again! Have some dignity," he warned before turning away to leave. "This is not the end. I came for her and I'm taking her with me. She doesn't love you and you know that," he said. "Good luck with that," answered Jianyu. "Take care of her," he said.
"I know better what to do with my girlfriend," he answered.
He placed her in the car before walking the other way round and glared at Jin Liwei before entering the car and drove off.
Reaching home, he took her to his house because he didn't want to wake her up for the keys. Putting her in his own bed, he slept besides her.
...
The next time when Li Fei opened her eyes, the first thing she did was to touch her lips. Was it a dream? But it felt so real. The movement of those lips on hers was so farmiliar. But it must have been a dream.
She then remembered what happened in the elevator and her eyes moved around. Seeing the unfarmiliar room and bed, she couldn't help but panic. Where was she?!
Just in moment, the door was opened and Jianyu came in with breakfast.
