The Hardest Thing

Lesson 4

"This isn't actually a lesson. I just wanted to spend some time with you." Anthony said as we got into the elevator. "Oh my God." "What's wrong?" "I hate elevators." "Come here." He opened his arms as I stood close to him. He wrapped his arms around me. "I've got you. Nothing's going to happen." I leaned my head on his chest as the elevator went up and up finally stopping on floor 20.

"Come on Jess." He took my hand as we walked out. "What are we doing up here Anthony?" "You'll see." There was a table set up filled with every kind of dessert imaginable. "Hungry?" "Wow. This is amazing." "Dig in." Anthony smiled grabbing a fork. I grabbed one too and started tasting everything. "Its so good." "Yes."

We pretty much tasted some of everything before I heard a voice. "Hey. You! What are you doing? Get away from there!" "Oh man. Time to go Jess." I took one last bite. He flipped the table over dessert going all over us. "Damn." We were covered. He threw our forks down before we took off as a guy in a uniform followed us. "Run!" We took off running down the hallway trying to open every door as we laughed. "None of these are unlocked." I looked around as I heard the man, "You guys are in trouble!" "There Anthony." He moved and opened the door to the stairs. We started down before he went up and locked the door. We got down three floors before he stopped.

"Holy jesus." He had his hands on his legs catching his breath. "What did we just do?" "We kind of stole some rich people's food." We looked at each other and started laughing. "I can't believe we did that." "Me either.Pretty fun though right?" "Yeah. and delicious." 

He moved over, "Hey. You've got something there." "Where?" "There." He moved his hand to push my hair out of my face. "Cake." He showed me a piece of white before he threw it on the floor. Anthony looked at me for a second not saying anything. "Jess..." "Yeah?" It looked like he was going to lean in to kiss me but I spoke before anything happened. "We um...should get going. We're kind of covered." "Yeah. Let's go." He smiled taking my hand.
