Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 11

As I made my way to elevator, my phone vibrated in my pocket. When I went to reach for it, my luggage had slipped out of my grasp and everything had fallen out. I groaned loudly, bent down to pick up my stuff and just completely ignored my phone.

I was stuffing everything back into my luggage in a rush when I noticed someone, a male, and his hands reaching for my belongings. I gasped and like a ninja, I grabbed his arm, flipped him, and ended up straddling him.

"Who the hell are you and why are you touching my clothes?" I asked sternly, looking him straught in the eyes. He seemed shocked, maybe even a little scared.

"I'm terribly sorry miss," the stranger said in the sweetest British accent ever. "I was just walking back to my room when I noticed a beautiful girl was having trouble with her luggage, so I decided to come and help her. No harm was meant, honest."

I now felt a little embarrassed, so I stood up from his torso and help him up.

"Oh. . ." I cleared my throat, "well, um, thank you but I didn't need your help." I said, studying him carefully.

He had the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen on a man, plump, pink lips that always seemed to form a smirk, and amazingly soft blonde hair. He bared a strong resemblance to Harry Styles, lacking the curly brown hair.

"And sorry about tackling you, I guess I just got a little startled there for a second." I laughed nervously.

He also chuckled. He had this adorable, sexy little laugh that made me swoon. Oh God, why was I getting more and more nervous?

"It's alright love! We all get scared now and then, especially when a stranger is reaching at your belongings!"

Oh my God, I never thought that someone could be so sweet and so sexy at the same time! But wait, what about Koda? The boy I've been madly in love with since the 7th grade? Oh who was I kidding? He sees me as a damn sister, and that's all I'll ever be to him.

I chuckled again, breaking the awkward silence.

"Yeah that true! By the way, my name is Kanji Emerson."

"What a lovely name. Kanji. . . Very extraordinary for sure!" He smiled, "My name is Zachariah Gabriel. Zach for short."

His name was stuck in my head, running from all directions throughout my mind. It's such a common name, yet it sounded so amazing at this moment.

"Wow that's a long name, but it's adorable!" I mentally face palmed. Really? It's a long name?? Way to go Kanji, way to go.

"Why thank you sweetheart! By the way, could I offer you some coffee or something? I mean it's the least I could do!" He smirked once again and pushed the elevator button.

I giggled and accepted his kind offer. Who would deny such a handsome young British man like him?

I grabbed the last of my belongings from the ground and stepped Into the elevator with Zach.

My phone vibrated for the fifth time. I decided to finally check it to see who desperately wanted my attention.

I pulled out my phone, and unlocked it, only to see one name appear on my screen five times.

Koda Bayler.

I think Zach saw my screen, which shows a picture of Koda and I hugging, because he sighed and asked "Is that your boyfriend?"

"Oh, no! He's my best friend and we've known each other for about 4 years now. He's like my brother. Plus he made it very clear that he has no interest in me at all."
