How dare he try to go anywhere near my Precious? She thought. She instantly forgot her phobia of elevators and in the dark, fumbled through her bag and reached for her instant weapon, her huge metal encased Contradiction perfume (everyone knows this… hehe...)
“Don’t try anything stupid, you hear me? Or this mace will make sure you never see the light of day, literally.”
“I was just trying to open your blazer so you can breathe easy”
Thank God the lights were turned off so he couldn’t see that she was blushing (I’m capable of blushing? Well, this is my fantasy).
“Fine, but as long as were stuck inside this effing thing, don’t do anything funny, you get it? No touchy- touchy!”
Silence.
To lighten the tense mood between them, the stranger started to ask some questions.
“I’ve never seen you around, “he said. “Applying for a job? Building hopping? Or visiting a boyfriend?” his voice was clipped when he said the last line.
“None of your business,” she retorted. (Disclaimer, AM never speaks rudely to other people, especially to gorgeous men but this is my fantasy)
“Fine,” was all he could afford to say after her remark.
Realizing that she had hurt the stranger’s feelings, she turned to apologize to him only to find his breath fanning her face softly. There they go again, Goosebumps.
And the lights went back. Realizing their too-close-for-comfort position, she pulled herself back and went to push the button taking her to her floor and walked to the farthest possible place, away from him.
He eyed her intently and after a few second, pushed another button.
Ting.
Finally, _floor. Without so much as a glance, she left the elevator and the man who was still staring at her. As the door closed behind her, she heaved a deep breath, one that she was trying to hold back while inside the elevator. What a first day.
Everything went well. She was given the grand tour of her office by her young, dashing superior and she was unaware of the look of admiration she got from the men in her office (bakit ba? Eh, fantasy ko eh… care nyo? )
“The big boss can’t meet you today. He has a meeting with the Ayalas,” the cute superior said and gave AM a wink.
So she went to work and everyone was so nice to her. Lunch time came and before she had any chance to have lunch with her new officemates, her cute superior (who obviously had a crush on her) approached her and told her that the boss had already arrived.
This is it… time to meet the boss. In her head, she was picturing a benevolent old man. She entered the huge room and immediately, a familiar scent attacked her senses. She tried to remember where she smelled that before and it took her just a few second, for the same masculine voice spoke to her.
“Now, I guess you can now answer my question. Are you visiting your boyfriend?”
It’s the gorgeous stranger in the elevator!!! (How predictable)

Unfortunately, I got tired of my own fantasy so I wouldn’t bother continuing this story.
