The first thing Xalia did was push him away.

But Tory didn't see that as the elevator doors had already closed.

Percy hit the side of the wall with a loud bang, rebounding to drop to the floor. The force at which Xalia pushed him meant that his upper back would be hurting him badly. That wasn't her fault, she thought. He shouldn't be pulling moves like that again.

Xalia watched as Percy picked himself and stood right behind her. He felt the same. Looked the same. Smelt the same. It was too weird for her. The memories, the happy moments, everything. It's all linked to all the bad things that took place after. That's what hurt.

Percy could feel the waves of disappointment and fear coming off of her, even though she hadn't said anything or even made a little reference if she was scared. She didn't even flinch from the spot that she was on from when she entered the lift. Well, except for her pushing you out of the way. His conscience added. He didn't need to be an expert to know that she wanted comfort. Women need comfort somehow and if one method is not there, they use a new one.

F*ck it. Percy raised his hands and, slowly, placed them around her waist. It was hovering above so it wasn't touching her at the least but he wanted her to give her consent. When they first met, he ran the show but now it was different. Totally different. He needed her consent or this would all be the wrong way to go about this conversation.

Whilst over thinking the situation, Xalia leant on him and placed a hand over his hand, pulling it tighter around her. It was like a comfort blanket. Familiar to her in such a way that she wanted it. She needed it.
Percy took this as an invite to move her hair out of the way and place his lips on her neck, leaving little marks on the spots he touched.

Back in the office, Tory was still waiting for his coffee. I mean, how long does it take to go to Starbucks and back? It was already 10 minutes and he hadn't even heard a word from them. Sighing, he picked up his phone to call security and ask if they had seen Percy and another woman with him named Ms. Colliens leave the building. By the time they picked up, they gave him all the information he needed. They hadn't even been seen on the ground floor yet.

Tory sighed again. This meant he was getting delayed in having his caramel frappucino with the extra caramel. Him and his sweet tooth would someday catch up with him. Eventually after thinking about his coffee and not work, his mind drifted back to Percy and the chocolate skinned woman that Percy had taken a suddenly liking to.

Why so grumpy that he kissed her? Just because you didn't? His inner voice snickered. No, I don't care about that. I don't care what you do with your personal life, just don't hurt any of my friends.

So now Percy's your friend, huh? You didn't help him that night in the club with that lady. Tory hated it when his inner self was right. A woman challenges him but Percy is the one who gets the girl. Rude, and I saw her first, Tory grumbled as he began typing in his laptop.
