imagines [c.s]

three - elevator

imagine: you come back from a long day of work wanting nothing but to relax, but you end up getting stuck in an elevator with a stranger.

you sigh as you rub the tiredness of your eyes. you have had the longest shift at the restaurant today and wanted nothing but to take a nice, relaxing bath, and to continue watching your favorite t.v. show.

you work some shifts at a local diner so you could pay your rent and continue staying in college. not the best working conditions, but it pays well. you let out a sigh of relief as you see your apartment complex. you quickly head inside and rush to the elevator, since you want to be alone. you would usually take the stairs because you felt more comfortable, but you were too tired.

you hated sharing the elevator with anyone because you just felt awkward and uncomfortable. just as the doors were about to close, you hear a guy's voice yell, "hold it!"

you pray he doesn't get here on time, but fate must be against yo as he makes it just on time. "i asked you to keep it open," he smiled. "um.. i-i didn't hear you," you manage to say.

man is he cute. he has the most handsome face you have ever come across. and even though he is wearing a coat, you could tell how well toned his body is. at least i'm in here with someone attractive, and not some creepy old guy.

"so you don't hold up the elevator for me, but you check me out?" he smirks. your face turns beat red at that, and you don't know what to say. you just look away and hope you get to your floor soon.

just as you were about to get there, the elevator comes to halt, and the lights go dim. panic settles in you. you knew you should've taken the stairs because they were safer, but that felt like too much work to do, especially after that shift. the worst part of all? you were claustrophobic, which means this was pretty much your nightmare.

your breathing rate quickly picks up as you press your back against the wall, feeling extremely dizzy. you almost feel like you're about to black out, but then the stranger touches your arm. "you okay?" he asks worriedly.

you manage to give him a weak nod as your hard breathing continues. "okay, listen to me, babe. my name is cole."

"y/n," you manage to wheeze out. he smiles at that. " a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. now come here." he opens his arms widely and gently pulls you in for a hug. although you were kind of hesitant at first, you slowly but surely relax in his embrace. "now breathe in, and breathe out." you continue breathing with him until you calm down.

"thank you for that," you say, hugging him tightly. he hugs you back gently like he's afraid he'll break you if he holds you too tight.

after you both calm down from what just happened, you both sit down on the floor and got to know each other. you found out many things about cole like how he has a twin brother, he studied archaeology at university, he loves photography, he was born in italy, and how he loves video games.

after almost half an hour of getting to know each other, you hear someone's voice from outside. "don't worry, kids! we'll get you out of there soon!" you both laugh at that and tell them to take their time.

after you both were rescued, you exchanged numbers and started talking constantly. you also found out that he lives in the apartment right in front of yours. soon, all the talking blossomed into an amazing friendship, then an extraordinary relationship.
