"So, you're not afraid of me?" he asks, a challenge in his words.
Your eyes flicker up to his, and for a brief moment, his gaze softens. You take a deep breath, steadying your nerves.
You didn't know what to say. The truth was that he terrified you.
"ignoring me again? "
You swallow hard, your throat dry and constricted.
"I'm not - "
"Bullshit. You run when you see me. You're scared, and don't deny it."
You're cornered, his words pinning you in place. You take a deep breath, your eyes squeezing shut as the tension in your body mounts.
"Fine, yes. I am," you admit, the words tumbling out in a rush.
"Why?" he probes, the single word a demand for answers.
"You don't exactly come off as friendly," you state, the words coming out harsher than intended.
"Fair enough," he concedes. "So, what now?"
You open your eyes to see him still crouched beside you, his gaze boring into yours.
"Now? What do you mean?" you ask, confusion clouding your mind.
"What are you going to do now? You've admitted that I scare you. You're trapped in an elevator with me. How are you going to handle that?" he says, a smug grin tugging at the corner of his lips.
