Unbreakable

Chapter 1

"Sorry." I muttered while shifting my body towards my left and took a glance at the man.

My heart started beating and I felt the heat rush to my face. What did I just see? I mean, who did I just see? This man, who is smiling at me, making me even more nervous, could be a damn model or something.

I am thanking my stars that I left the plane looking somewhat presentable. I brushed my teeth before landing and then as soon as I landed, I went to the restroom and fixed my hair and applied a dab of makeup, and sprinkled a bit of Curious Perfume by Britney Spears. Thank you God! I can only wonder if I hadn't.

Just then the lift finally arrived. "After you, since you're in a hurry." The man laughed causing the heat in my face to burn brighter.

I smiled as I stepped inside, pressed the 11th-floor button and headed towards the back of the lift with my luggage. I couldn't help but stare at this Greek God as he stepped inside the lift pressing the 14th-floor button. He started scrolling through his phone as he stood near the control panel.

He is really sexy. His square jaws enhanced his fierce look. He's probably like over 6 feet tall whereas I only stood at 5'6. His broad, well-built shoulders went down to his narrow waist. With the way, his royal blue sleeves were pulled up to his elbows, helped to mold his biceps even more. Honestly, this was a sight to drool on. I bet he has a 6 pack, no an 8 pack abs under that shirt in which I can eat an ice cream sundae off of. His light pink lips were pleading to be devoured. However, he kinda looks familiar though, but I don't think I've met him before.

Man, why are we strangers? Why won't he initiate a conversation with me? But why will he? With the way he's dressed reveals that he is filthy rich and hence, that's why he's residing in this hotel and probably has a flock of supermodels surrounding him. Honestly, why is he so sinfully good looking?

He looked up in my direction and caught me staring at him causing me to spontaneously look down towards his Italian black, leather shoes. Damn it. I could have looked somewhere else. He is probably assuming that I was checking him out.

I felt my heart pounding as if it's going to come out of my ribcage. I was flushed with embarrassment. When will my floor come? Why is it taking forever?

There was a sudden shake in the elevator forcing me out of my thoughts. "What's happening?" I gasped as the elevator began to make a grating sound.

"I'm not sure, but I think... " The man couldn't finish his sentence as the lift came to an abrupt halt. I witnessed the lights flicker on and off and then a few seconds later, there was complete darkness.

"Oh no, no, no! This can't be happening!" I spit out as I began to panic. I'm not claustrophobic or anything but I am scared of the dark. Especially since right now, there was not even one source of light!

"I can't stay here. Oh my God." I felt my panic attack worsen with every second.

"It's okay. Stay calm." The man advised firmly. "The emergency lights will turn on in a few- ah there we go." The man said with satisfaction as the red light flickered above the elevator doors which threw a red glow throughout the lift.

But it didn't really help much though. But it's the only source of light available. "Oh God. Please help us." I whispered.

"Don't worry. I'm here." The man said softly. His mere words made me tear up causing me to look vulnerable in front of him. There was a stream of tears rolling down my face.

"Hey. No, don't cry." He cupped my face causing volts of electricity to circulate throughout my body. "Crying is not going to help our situation." He said sympathetically.

I sucked in my lips as the trail of tears spilled. He doesn't know the real reason for my tears. I'm not crying because we're trapped but due to his words. I let out a sigh. I have to face reality and realize that I shouldn't get my hopes up.

I stepped away from him and stomped my way towards the control panel. The man followed my footsteps and stood behind me. I tried to scan where the emergency button is but I can't seem to find it.

I became frustrated and started to press random buttons but to no avail. Nothing was happening.

My right hand is touching something else too. What else was I touching? My eyes began to widen realizing that what my hand was touching, it shouldn't be touching!

"Oh my God! I am so sorry." I almost yelled and got up noticing that I made contact with the man's certain body part.

"Would be nice if you just stood still." His deep voice now reflected anger or annoyance. Maybe it was both.

I obliged and stepped away hoping that he wouldn't see how embarrassed I am. God, why is this happening to me?! I've dealt with enough in Punjab(an Indian state) so why this now? I'm pretty sure that the "Greek God" is irritated with the fact that he's stuck in the elevator with me. Maybe, he was getting late for a date he has with a hot chick. But then why would he go upstairs? Maybe to change his clothes or that his date was probably in his suite.

I am so done with myself, honestly. I blinked my eyes many times trying to stop the flow of tears which indeed helped. Why did I let my guard down in front of him? He's probably thinking that I'm a weakling or a crybaby. I was strong in India and was able to face my problems without revealing how distraught I was. I'm not able to comprehend as to why I cried in front of him? A stranger?! On top of that, I touched his certain part. I hope he knows that I didn't mean to.

A bell started ringing somewhere withdrawing me from my thoughts. I guess the "Greek God" must have pressed the button I tried to search for.

"There. The ringing will inform the hotel management that we're stuck in the elevator." He said as he turned around to face me.

"O-o-okay... Thank you." I stuttered. Damn it. I just want to be in my room after this fiasco.                 -------------------------------------------------------
