Found you (On Hold)

Elevator

Chris' POV

As we leave my apartment, I lock the door and gesture for Mahi to walk ahead. We enter the elevator and I press the button for basement. I look at her. She smiles at me and then looks at her feet. For some godforsaken reason, I'm reminded of the elevator scenes in the romantic movies where protagonists are alone in the elevator and the guy kisses the girl passionately for a few seconds and just when the girl is about to give in, the ding sound breaks them apart and the elevator door opens and they have to pretend like nothing happened. That has never happened to me in my entire life and here I am, thinking about kissing scenes in the movies, when I'm with Mahi in this confined elevator.

I'm going crazy!

This is because of that moment from last night. I was thinking about kissing her then too when our hands touched for a few seconds. That feather like sensation is still present on my fingers. When she looked into my eyes, I didn't wanted to look away. I felt something in that moment. It was a strange type of fear, like she would disappear if I close my eyes or turn my gaze away from her. I wanted to hold her tightly in my arms and kiss her then too, as Ed Sheeran was suggesting but I stopped myself when she turned away her face and rested her head on the partially open window of the car and slept. She looked peaceful in that moment. It took a lot of effort to keep my hands on the steering wheel and focus on driving. I think I need a psychiatrist.

"What?"

"Huh..?" Was she talking to me?

"You said you need a psychiatrist. Why do you need a psychiatrist?" She asks.

Fuck. Did I say that out loud. Did she hear all of it? I look at her but her confused expressions are telling me that she sure as hell didn't hear that I wanted to kiss her right now and last night too.

"Uh... No... Not me... My... Uh... My friend... Yeah! Tyler. He needs a psychiatrist." I lie. And here I throw my 'Tyler card'. He's going to kill me if he finds out.

"But he looked fine to me. Why does he need to consult a psychiatrist?" She asks.

Damn her for being a bloody psychiatrist. Damn me for saying my thoughts aloud. Damn us for being in this elevator Well at least I didn't say all of it out loud. "He... You know... Broken hearts and... Stuff..." I lie again. Tyler has never been dumped once in his life and here I am, burning his macho at the steak just because I was thinking of kissing a girl, when I didn't even get to act upon my thoughts.

Tyler started watching porn at a very young age actually. I'm complete opposite of his personality. If I were a girl, I would die to date him. He's just that good of a charmer. I could seriously learn something from him.

"I can talk to him if you want." She suggests and I'm starting to think where is the goddess of elevators when I need her. Why aren't we already in the basement and why didn't I hear the Ding sound already! "No I don't think he would like that. He'll be furious if he finds out I told you." I try to dismiss the subject.

"Why? It's not like I'm going to judge him. You don't worry about him, I'll handle the situation." She says patting my shoulder, trying to comfort me.

"But I won't be able to handle him after that..." I murmur to myself.

"Huh?"

"Nothing! Thanks for doing it for my friend." I say.

"What I'm doing for you... I mean for you're friend is nothing compared to what you did for me and are still doing. So relax." She explains and I simply nod. I better put aside my perverted thoughts and think about how I'm going to explain all this to Tyler.

We reach in the parking lot and I open my car with the remote in the keychain. I love my baby, Mia. Mahi is deep in thought and I decide to distract her. I give her my car keys and she looks at me confused.

"What?" Mahi asks.

"You drive." I tell her and the excitement returns to her face which was temporarily masked by sadness due to yesterday's events.

She hurriedly takes the keys from my hands and I point in the direction of Mia. Mahi looks at her and excitement changes to astonishment. I would like to call it Mia Effect as Mahi practically runs towards her. I did too when I saw her for the first time.

"No wayyyyy.... That's your carrrr????" Mahi says exaggerating.

"Yupp!"

"It's beautiful. Honda s2000! Wow, simply amazing."

"You're into cars?" I ask, surprised that a girl like her would react like this seeing Mia. When Sarah first saw her, she simply said, "Nice ride, Chris!" And I simply nodded.

"A little, roadsters mainly." She says while getting in the driving seat.

"Really?"

"Yeah and this car is a babe!" She says and I laugh at her choice of words. "No seriously, if I had her, I would never ever leave her side!" Mahi continues.

"She's Mia." I start telling her the story like a five year old, as she puts on the seat belt. "Dad gave her to me as a birthday present in 2008. He closed my eyes and made me stand on the front door. It was an extremely hot and sunny day and I was constantly complaining about the weather but after seeing Mia, everything was forgotten. I took her and went straight to Tyler's house. Mahi, you won't believe, he was home... Well, actually he was with a girl. I called him on the way and when I reached their, he was standing on the door wearing shorts. He didn't even bothered to wear any pants or footwear. He jumped straight in front of us..."

"Us...?" Mahi interrupts.

"Me and Mia! He was actually the one who named her." And I continue my rambling happily. "We drove by turns and stopped at a bar, outside the city and partied whole night. That was the only day I let him drive. It was literally the best day of my life. I was so happy."

"Who wouldn't be, it's a freaking Honda s2000. They ceased the production in June 2009 due to some crisis. It was ranked no. 1 in BBC Top gear survey in 2003, 2005 and..."

"2006!" I complete her sentence. "You know too much about it but do you know the way to your hospital?" I ask her and her confident expressions widen my smile and I feel the magical sync between our actions, not for the first time.
