A Man In Red

Elevator

You closed your hotel room door, walking towards the elevator. It was a friend's birthday tomorrow and you had completely forgot to get them a present so you had to make a quick trip to the shop to get them a small gift.
"Going Down" The Elevator spoke in a robotic voice. Slowly the doors opened and you got in. An array of numbers and letters showed on the wall of the metallic room. You pressed the button '0' to go to the bottom Floor. You pulled out you're phone just scrolling through you're Instagram feed looking at the pictures of you're friends and family, who were on holiday as well.

Suddenly the elevator came to a stop.
"Going down." It spoke again. The doors opened and a man walked in, you didn't pay much attention just still scrolling on your phone, eyes glued to it. All you know was it was a man, you didn't want to pay to much attention so you didn't seem like a creep so instead you decided to pay no attention at all. The elevator kept going down but it didn't seem to be going very quick.. It was more of a slow walking pace.

Suddenly it came to a harsh stop and the lights went out.You let out a loud gasp at the sudden stop and darkness. The two of you were now stood in a pitch black void. You close down Instagram and open your flashlight shining it at the man's face. A man in red stood before you, beautiful brunette hair, a red collared shirt with the print Ferrari on and a pair of denim, skinny jeans.
"Can you maybe point it lower down.." The man said covering his eyes "It's rather bright.."
".. Oh yeah sorry.. I'm Y/n" You say moving your phone lower so the light was now on his chest but still bright enough to see his face.
"Thanks, I'm Charles" He said moving his hands away from his eyes and down his side.

Suddenly he turns around and starts scanning the walls, leaving you with a confused expression on your face.
"I'm trying to find an emergency help button" Charles says noticing the confused expression on your face. "Nothing.." He let's out a sigh before taking his phone out of his pocket and calling someone
"Hello?" A person with a strong Spanish accent picked up
"Hey, I can't make it, I'm stuck in an elevator mate." Charles replied a tone of annoyence in his voice
A sound of laughing comes from the phone "What.. Are you by yourself?" the man asked before bursting out in laughter again.
"There's one other person in here,but other than that, no one and there's no emergency button" He complained
"Well don't die please" The Spanish voice said again
Charles let out a sigh before hanging up.

The two stood in silence for a few minutes before Charles let out another sigh and said "God I hate awkward silences...so where were you heading?" He asked his voice going from annoyence to sweetness and friendliness
"I was heading to the shops to get my friend a present its her birthday tomorrow" you say giving Charles a slight smile. "What about you?"
"Oh I was heading out to watch football with a couple friends-"

There was a sudden jolt and the elevator started moving again making you drop your phone.
"here" Charles said handing your phone back to you with only a few scratches on the screen protector
"thanks" you smile happily taking the phone from his hands inspecting it for damage.

Eventually the elevator came to a sudden stop and the doors opened you stepped out, Charles following closely. Just as you were about to walk of you were stopped by a strong grip on your shoulder making you turn around...
"Sorry but would it be alright to.. Get you're number.." Charles said his face matching the colour of his Ferrari shirt. He looked down to avoid eye contact holding out his phone
"Sure" you say chuckling, taking the phone out of his hand and mumbling numbers to yourself trying to remember "761654..." After a few seconds you hand the phone back smiling at him softly and walking off.

As you step out of the hotels doors, you look back seeing Charles still staring at you, you give him a slight wave before walking further out.
