I am so freaking late, thought Lauren Rowe to herself. She ran a comb through her new bob hairstyle and ran out the door. Her cell suddenly rang. She dove I her person to grab it.
"Hello."
"Hey Lauren baby where are you I have been down here for like 15 minutes."
Lauren sighed and pushed the elevator button. I so can't deal with this crap today, thought Lauren.
"Michael, baby I am on my way. I am at the elevator. Just give me a second."
Lauren looked up to see a guy walk up beside her to get on the elevator. The first thing she noticed about him was his gorgeous smile. His dimples were deep and strong. He had dark low cut hair that was lightly spiked. He was dressed in black slacks and a button down shirt that was unbuttoned at the top. His build was not overly muscular, but she could tell he did attend the gym.
Wow he is cute, thought Lauren. Michael continued to whine about her lateness.
The elevator doors opened and Lauren and her mystery cutie got on.
"Michael I am getting on now. Hello, hello. Michael are you there?"
"I do not think the phone works in the elevator that well," smiled the guy.
"Yeah, I just realized that. Thanks."
Lauren pushed the button hoping that it would make the elevator go faster. Michael was beginning to be a big pain. While she had been dating him on a again off again for close to two years he had become way to controlling. He wanted everything to be on his schedule. He wanted her to be on time constant. The worst of all was the sex. He wanted it on a specific day, a specific way, and oh it was so boring. No spontaneity at all.
Lauren felt the elevator suddenly jerk up, then it abruptly stopped between the 22 and 21st floor. Lauren bumped into the guys arms and he held her. She could smell his cologne and he smelled great.
"Are you ok," asked the guy?
Lauren stood up. "Yeah, I think so. Thank you for catching me. What happen?"
" I think we are stuck."
"Oh no. No, I can not be stuck. All we have to do is press these buttons and make this thing move."
She started pushing al the floors. Nothing happen.
"This cannot be happening. I am stuck in the elevator with a guy I do not even know. Michael is going to be so pissed."
"Look calm down. First thing first I am Adam. Second, if you stay cool and collected we will probably be out of here in a minute or two.
Adam walked to the panel and pressed the help button. Their cries of help was responded back quickly.
"How can I help you?"
"Hey we are stuck between the 21 and 22nd floor. Can you please get us out here."
"Unfortunately sir, It will be a while. Mantenance is stuck in traffic in that pile up accident on the highway. He will not be here for a while. Stay put and he will be there as soon as possible.
Adam turned and smiled sheepley at Lauren. "Looks like were are going to be here for a while."
"Oh crap this sucks big time." Lauren threw her purse on the floor and starred at her phone hoping that a signal bar would come on. No such luck.
"Look its not that bad. I have water and some food in my bag. And I am pretty sure the maintenance man will be here soon so you can meet your boyfriend."
"He is a good friend. I would not say boyfriend."
Adam looked at her curiously. He had seen her before in the apartments. She usually was on her phone. He had wanted to say something to her before, but did not know what. All he knew was that she was gorgeous. He never had thought about dating a black woman before, but she was literally irresistible. She had an athletic type body that was not skinny like he was used to, but sexy. Right now he kept starring at her breast as she sighed at her annoyance of being in the elevator. They jiggled slightly as she exhaled sharply. He cleared his throat to shake off the growing penis in his pants.
"Um so I told you my name now the friendly thing to do is a least tell me yours since we will be in here for a while."
"I am sorry I do not want to come off bitchy. I am Lauren. Sorry about all the ranting and raving." "Nice to put a name with the frown. Just joking . I have seen you before a few times."
Wow, thought Lauren. He has noticed me. Nice to know I have someone like him looking. He is absolutely gorgeous. He keeps grinning that irresistible smile at me. Oh and it has been so long since I have had some real passionate sex. And he looks like he would be great in bed. Who am I kidding he is probably just making conversation.
"Yeah, I have lived here for about a year now. Nothing like this was on the tour of the place though."
"I have lived here about 4 months. I moved from Georgia."
"Oh, No wonder the sexy accent southern accent."
Did I just say sexy accent, thought Lauren.
He smiled at her. "So you think my accent is sexy, huh."
"I guess if you like accents. Some people might find it to be. Whoo wow it is getting hot in here."
"Really, not to me. Look why don't we play a game to kill time."
"With what? Do you have cards in your bag or something."
"Actually I do." He reached in his bag and pulled out a deck of cards.
"What do you do? Work at a casino or something?" laughed Lauren.
"You would think so huh. No I work at an advertisement agency these cards were in a gift bag I got a party we hosted. While we are on professions what do you do?"
" I am a sports agent. I do nothave any big time clients, but I do pretty well for myself."
"Wow then I will coming to you for my floor seats, next basketball season."
"Yeah, well what game do you want to play?"
"Poker, and since you said you were hot lets make is spicy and play strip poker."
"You are joking right."
He looked at her in the eyes. His grayish blue eyes looked intensely in hers. "Does it look like I am joking. This is of course unless you are chicken to play me." He studied her face and saw her frown.
"Chicken, I do not think so. Only reason I asked is because I do not want the maintenance man to come and find you naked caused I beat your socks of literally." Even though, that would be a great sight to see.
"Well Lauren you are on." I can not wait to see those breasts, thought Adam.
They sat on the floor of the elevator and dealt the cards.
"So Mr. Adam show me what you got."
" Two pair, how about you?"
"Oh sucks to be you cause I've got a flush."
"Crap, what do you want me to take off?"
"Umm lets see. I think that shirt has to go."
He unbuttoned his shirt and revealed his muscular arms and hard chest under his tank top. Lauren could only start intently at them without suddenly feeling so turned on.
"Your deal Lauren."
She dealt the cards.
"What can you say to another flush Adam."
"How about full house."
