A beautiful surprise

3

As I got into the elevator I saw someone behind me, and I didn't even have to guess who it was.
Mr Simpson.

Me:" Stalking much?"( I said under my breath.)

Brad:"My dear, there is only one elevator and I have to head up to my room and I am not taking the stairs.

I just kept quite after he spoke.

All of a sudden the elevator stopped and made a funny noise.
And the buttons weren't working.

Me:" Shit Brad, what's going on?

Brad:" I don't know, Im going to press the panic button.

After Brad pressed it we heard a siren go off, I hate being in small closed places I started to get really bad anxiety.
Brad was walking closer to me and that made me more anxious

Brad:" Ava are you okay?

Me:" Yeah, just hate being in small closed spaces, it gives me a bit of anxiety.

Brad:" Can I do anything to help"

Me:" Just distract me"

Brad"ohhh I could think of a few things to do to distract you."

Me:" Brad don't be stupid right now , u such a cocky motherfucker.

Brad:"you know what I like about you Ava.."
That you didn't change who you are when u met me or goo all crazy.
I haven't met such a genuine person in quite a while, or just sees me as a normal person and not a celebrity that everyone thinks they know but actually they know nothing about me.

Ava:" You should always stay true to who you are, no matter who's around."

Just at that moment the doors opened, and the elevator was fixed.
I was so thankful but Brad had a good way of distracting me at least.
I Gave Brad a smile and walk towards my room.

Brad:" Wait Ava, which room are you staying in?"

Me." 203 and you?

Brad:"205, well that's like right next door we basically neighbors, what are the odds?
How long you here for ?

Me:" For about a week, we waiting for everything to be finished with our new house.

Brad:" Oh I understand, well I would like to see you tomorrow if that's okay?"
And not in a weird way, I really respected what u said earlier and sometimes I do get a big head

because of everything but I'm not such a bad lad and I would really like to get to know you.
As a friend.

Me:"Fine, Brad you get one chance"
Deal?

Brad:"deal."

That night for the first time in a long time,

I smiled looking up at the hotel ceiling.
