What You Did To Me

Since When Did My Opinion Matter

"Um... no?" I says frowning lightly. "If I were to kiss you I'd actually want to kiss you, not just kiss you on a dare."

He rolls his eyes but lets it slide.

Suddenly, the elevator trembles to life and starts moving again, except this time, going upwards.

The doors open and we see T.J. smiling and waving goodbye to Daniel, who strides past us into the elevator as we shuffle out.

Me and Jakob just stare at each other, dumbfounded.

We've just spent an hour and a half in a lift and no one's noticed?

"Right then! Everybody got their things? Lets go!" Teej says brightly as the two of us scramble to get all of our bags.

T.J.'s hair is messy and her lipstick is smeared and she appears slightly out of breath.

We all clamber into another elevator and we press the button to go down. The smooth voice of the elevator lady says, "Going down," and then the awful music starts.

"We've been stuck in a lift for an hour and a half and you didn't notice?!"Jakob exclaims, staring with his mouth open at her.

I lift my hand into his chin and close his mouth.

The doors open and we exit into the Lobby.

"Well I'm glad you got everything you need, I'll see you tomorrow, same place!" she says, waves us goodbye and drives off in a small red car.

We both stand there, breathing slowly.

"Well... what're we gonna do now?" I ask quietly, trying not to disturb the peace in the cold room.

All the walls and floors are pink marble and the embellishments are gold and shiny.

A tall, green, luscious plant grows in the corner, steadily creeping it's way towards the light.

"I don't know... there's a good coffee shop I'd like to take you to but it's too far away," he says, frowning slightly, looking off into the distance, deep in thought.

"Hellooo??" I say, waving the palm of my hand infront of Jakob's face.

He startles, blinks once or twice and says, "Right! I've been thinking and I've remembered that I once found this little bookshop with a café and the owner had three cats, Whiskers, Fluffy and   Epouranious. I thought you might like it."

"It sounds great! I'd say your car or mine but yours is the only one here," I say smiling.

I'm a little wiped out and I think a rest in a good book shop would be good for me.

Exhaustedly, I yank my bag further up my shoulder.

How can trying on dresses be this tiring?

"Let's go," Jakob says to me and clasps my free hand and leads me out of the large, glass doors and into the crowded street. "After you," he says grinning, bowing to open the car door for me.

"Why thank you," I reply taking his outstretched hand and stepping gracefully into the car.

He smiles and me as he closes the door.

Well DAMN.

Being stuck in a lift for a while with that guy really changes your perspective on him.  

Jakob clambers in next to me and runs his fingers through his hair.

"Before we go there, I need to drop something off, is it okay if we go visit my brother?" he asks, waiting patiently for my answer.

I blink a couple of times, trying to make sure this is real.

He wants my opinion?

"Ugh- um- ok, sure- I don't see why not," I say, still surprised

Jeez! This is weird!!

He sighs in relief and nods his head, "Right , okay, okay," he murmurs, almost to himself. "Okay, okay! Let's go! His name is Chaton and he's a couple of years older than me, though he looks 30."

I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding as he starts the car.

It's been a long time since someone's valued me that much.

Maybe this marriage thing won't be too bad?
