It had been near a half an hour and we were pretty sure the elevator wasnโt going anywhere. We were stuck for sure. It was one of those old buildings too, the kind that didnโt have the phones in elevators to call out when things like this happened. So, the two of us just stood there feeling stupid next to the mirrors on the walls.
"We can crawl up the shaft." He suggested, pointing to a trap-like door in the ceiling. I nodded, thinking I would like to crawl up his shaft. He was really good looking and built too. He said his name was Paul Saint. I found that romantic...wanting to switch it around and say Saint Paul. But I wasnโt thinking saintly thoughts. Not at all.
"Yeah, we could do that...but...you know it is so quiet in here. Just us. You know?" I replied. He looked at me a minute. Yeah, he knew what I was doing. Trying to seduce him.
"You donโt even know me well enough to enjoy my company." He said, a smile like Gene Kelly in those old MGM movies. He had a body like a dancer, could be one, maybe. Graceful pose...smiling ear to ear...movie star face...
"I could enjoy your company...right here...right now..." I said, giving him a smile.
"Really?" he sidled up to me, glancing at our reflection in the mirror. "So if I lift up your skirt, you wonโt protest?"
I shook my head.
"Not one bit."
