Unbreakable

Chapter 4

I smiled reminiscing at what happened in the elevator 4 years back. But what happened after we got out of the elevator was actually very hilarious. 

-Elevator Scene

*Ding* The elevator made a sound which indicated that we were now about to be set free. The elevator doors opened which is honestly a relief. "After you." Karan said as I looked at him. "Remember, you were so eager to get inside the elevator."  He smirked which forced me to give him the most annoying look ever.

Grabbing onto my luggage, I stepped out of the elevator only to witness a handful of people with concerned expressions. Seems like it's the hotel staff along with the residents of this floor perhaps.

"Oh my God!"  One man in a black suit gasped. "Are you alright sir?"  He questioned with raised eyebrows. I rolled my eyes at that question and passed him a death stare. Like wow. I was stuck there too but no one seems to care about that... You know what, fuck it. I proceeded to walk through these people.

"Yes. We're both fine."  Karan announced and tugged onto my wrist. Looking at my wrist, I glanced up making eye contact with him. "Yeah?"  I questioned. He shook his head as he shifted his hand towards mine. We interlocked our fingers. Oh man. His touch once again unleashed bolts of electricity that ran through my veins. Ah, here comes the heat that was making its way to my face again. My palms began to feel sweaty too. Gross! What does he want from me now? I made sure to give him a puzzled look. Should I say something or not?

"Mr. Jaitly. How awful it was that you were stuck in the lift."  Another man divulged. " Oh my Lord."  I gave Karan a shocked expression. I know who he is now! No wonder why he looked familiar. He is the world-renowned hotelier and he is... Abhishek's friend... He was also present when Abhi (Abhishek's nickname) left me at the mandap(alter) last week in India. Oh my God. He knew who I am from the start and... how more embarrassing can this get?

"Oh my God. " I whispered. My heartbeats pounded loudly which echoed in my ears. The way my heart raced felt like as if it's going to come out of my chest. What is happening?

 The hotel started to spin around. I witnessed an alarmed look on Karan's face and then my eyesight started to blur. Everything started to become fuzzy as my head felt 100 times heavier and then everything in the room began to fade away into darkness.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to open my eyes as I sensed a bit of heaviness that plagued both of my eyes. I slowly got up as I glanced around the room. It had a fusion of modernized and colonial furniture. I got off of my bed as my eyes shifted down towards the sleeveless nightgown I'm currently wearing which reached up to my knees. This is not even mine though. "What the hell?! " I whispered as my mind began to recollect my memories. The last thing I remember was that I was looking at that guy's face... Karan's face... as he tried to hold onto me while ..I fell... I think.

"Good morning."  I heard a deep husky voice say startling me from my thoughts. I turned around to see who it was and it's Karan. He was wearing a thin, white shirt with green, plaid joggers. But his shirt was on tight which revealed how his well-muscled body is shaped. 

"How are you?"  He inquired as he stepped towards me. 

My mind wandered off to my nightdress again. Does this mean he changed me? I don't remember putting this on. And I am not wearing a bra on top of that. Great. Now he knows how small my breasts are. Wow, I can't believe I just thought that.
