Unrequited Love

Chapter 10

Gina made her way to the elevator and pushed the down button. Waiting for the elevator to come up she began pacing the floor. She looked around the corner as her mind ran on Travis. How is it that Travis hasn't returned yet? The ding on the elevator sent her rushing into the mobile electronic transporter. She pushed the G among the number of buttons. The distance from the 12th floor to the ground floor was long enough to get her thinking about what she was about to do. She was about to approach a person she does not know, a person who is possibly harmed, dangerous, and watching her. The elevator dinged again as the voice proclaimed Welcome to the Ground Floor. Gina stepped out of the elevator and ran into Travis."What the hell took you so long T?""I got held up at Friznos. The line was pretty long tonight. So where are you going?""Did you see a red Ferrari outside on your way in?""It has been there all day. Why?""Because that's the car that drove into me the day I came to work fucked up and bloody. He approached me like he was waiting for me, telling me he would pay for everything and what-not.""That doesn't sound too good Gina.""Yes. That's what I thought.""I wouldn't advise you to approach him right now though. Come on let's go." Pulling Gina by the arm towards the elevator Travis was concerned about the look in Gina's eyes.                                                                                    ****Travis decided to stay the rest of the night with Gina, just to keep an eye on her. To ensure she doesn't go back through the door unless she was going home. A half an hour after they ate and chatted a bit, Gina's exhaustion kicked in, mainly because she knew Travis wasn't leaving her although he really wanted to go home. She decided she was ready to go."Come on Travis, let's pack up and go home."Travis rose to his feet and they both began packing the garbage in a medium-sized rubbish bag Travis took from the supplies closet. Gina then gathered her things and waited for Travis to tie the bag and turn off the lights. They both waited at the elevator to return to their floor. Gina began to wonder why the elevator wasn't already on her floor if they were the only ones in the building. She brushed off the thought when the elevator dinged. The doors opened and she came face-to-face with the man from the Ferrari.
