A Love Worth Waiting For- Chapter 12: Elevator Fiasco
Chloe's POV
We we're just drinking our drinks. An awkward silence overwhelming us. I was just browsing on my phone when I heard a yelp.
"Ow! Brain freeze!" I heard Kyle whine. I held a menu to stop myself from showing a smile.
"That's what you get for drinking it so fast!" I teased. I couldn't help myself!
What was I doing? I should be hard on him. I should make him..... but then again he is my friend. I can't do this!
"Hey! I was thirsty what do you want?!" He teased back
I bursted out laughing. He then joined in. I punched him playfully. Then we stopped, awkward silence filled the air, again. I just wanted to do something but I can't think of anything leaving me awkward without a word. A few minutes later I hadn't realized my drink was all finished. Sometimes when I'm nervous I drink really fast. Around a few minutes, Kyle was done also.
"You finished?" Kyle asked
"Yup!" I said popping the 'p'
A waiter approaches us with a bill in her hands. I took out my purse when Kyle stopped me from taking out my money. I mouthed a 'no'. When he smiled and winked at me. What was he doing? I felt my cheeks warm. Wait? Was I blushing?! Why the heck am I blushing? Never mind that!
He gave his money and the waiter left.
"Hey! I was supposed to pay! I was the reason you got that red cheek now!" I pouted
"You know you look cute when you pout right?" He smiled
"S-shut u-up!" I stuttered. Why was I stuttering. Am I blushing?
"Don't mind the cheek" He smiled as he rubbed his cheek
"Still hurts though" he commented
He looks cute. When he rubbed his cheek. What. Am. I .Thinking?!
We went outside the cafe. I went to call a cab. A cab parked in front of us. But first, I had to say goodbye.
"Thanks for the drink. I'll be going now!" I said as I reached for the door.
"I'll come with you!" He pleaded
"Please?" He asked
"I can go home by myself now!" I stated emotionless
"But I wanna come with.." he trailed of
"Fine!" I sighed in defeat
He sat in front while I sat at the back this time.

I exited the car while paying for the ride before Kyle could object. I opened the door to the building. I was greeted by the security guard so I greeted back. I went inside a room where the elevators we're at. I pressed the button going up and walked inside with Kyle following me. I pressed the button 25 so I could go to my floor. There's just one problem. I'm claustrophobic and I get dizzy. A lot! Wish me luck!
The elevator was very uncomfortable for me. Then it started glitching. Oh no! Then the power went out. Then came back. The problem was, it stopped working! I started panicking while Kyle watched me. I started breathing heavily since it seemed that the air was less in the elevator.
"Woah! Caroline you alright?" Kyle asked with concern
But I don't need his concern
"You think!" I sarcastically said while breathing heavily holding my chest
"I get it! Your claustrophobic!" He stated with a smile
"Now's not the best time for smiling Kyle!" I started hyperventilating
"Okay.." he trailed off
I started feeling light headed but I didn't mind it. Suddenly, I felt two arms wrap around me. I looked up to see icy blue eyes. Kyle?! I started to calm down, fear replaced with embarrassment.
"At least you calmed down" he sighed as he flashed a smile..
My face flushed with embarrassment causing me to blush. He let go of me and I slid my back against the silver wall.
"You remind me of someone" he stated
"Who?" I asked tilting my head to the side with curiosity written in my face
He just smiled.
"Chloe" He said as he sat beside me
Is he talking about me? Maybe he is talking about another Chloe! Right?
"Ugh... what about her?" I asked even though I know she's me!
"Oh Chloe! She was my best friend. I always see her every summer not until..." he trailed off
"Not until what?" I asked
"Not until my parents! They didn't want me to be here anymore so I promised myself I would see her again! But to my luck I hadn't seen her. Maybe she moved away. I'm not sure. We didn't really keep in touch since we we're both so young. Maybe you know her. Here's her photo." He explained as he turned on his phone revealing his lock screen to be my young self. I slightly blushed at it.
I wanted to tell him 'ITS ME CHLOE! YOUR BEST FRIEND!'
But I held my mouth.
Then suddenly I felt a little light headed again. But it was worse! I felt nausea! I stood up and faced the wall seeing my reflection. I held my head because if the pain.
"Woah! You alright there bud?"
That was the last thing I heard. Before I fell into darkness
Kyle's POV
"Woah! You okay there bud?" I asked
She suddenly blacked out. With that the elevator started working again. I carried her 'bridal style' outside the elevator. She really did remind me of someone. She.... that's not important! What's important is to wake her up.
The elevator opened revealing a bunch of doors. The hallway was really long. I checked her purse to find the key to her condo, which is in floor 25. I sigh in relief.
I carried her to her room and placed her gently on the bed. I realized that I can't leave her since she's out cold so I decided to watch her. Not the creepy kind okay! I sat on the couch near her bed. Little by little drifting of to dream land.
