Writing Prompt – Day 19

You guys… it’s almost been officially four weeks of consistent writing prompts!

Just had to share that tid-bit with you real quick lol!

Alright, here’s today’s writing prompt! (:

You and a hot stranger get trapped in an elevator.

My example :

Hailey was running late for the meeting held in Conference Room B, third floor of the Ambience Hotel. Swiftly, she made her way past the front desk and around the corner to the elevators. In just the nick of time, she held her arm out in faith that the elevator doors would cease closing. Relief swept over her as the elevator welcomed her with both her arms still intact.

“Sorry,” she said, rushing in and pressing the 3rd floor button before sliding herself to the back corner of the elevator.

Glancing over, Hailey couldn’t help but notice how attractive the annoyed man across from her looked. She couldn’t help herself; even though she was in a rush, she had just enough time to check this stranger out. Besides, it was just them two in the elevator and he was clearly too distracted to notice her looking at him. Her stomach flipped when the elevator took a slight dip before propelling itself to the above floors. The man, Hailey noticed, was wearing a black pressed suit and tie, an expensive looking watch on his wrist, and his hair swept perfectly to the side. She was still staring at him as his eyes moved to his wrist, then at the numbers lighting up on the keypad. Maybe he was late for a meeting too. The Ambience Hotel was notorious for their multiple conference rooms. If you had a business and a meeting to be held, this was the place to be.

Shifting her eyes to the keypad, the second-floor light flashed. Just one more floor to go. The third-floor light flickered and the elevator came to a halting stop.

Hailey walked forward, anticipating the moment the elevator doors would fly open and she could book it to her meeting with only minutes to spare. Except they didn’t.

Without skipping a beat, she tapped on the button made to open the elevator doors. Nothing happened. In a panic, she spammed the button, hoping it would react to her desperation to get to that meeting.

Horrified, she cursed under her breath, wishing she had taken the stairs. She always feared elevators and normally opted for the stairs in the first place, but in her rush to get to the meeting in time, she did what she had to do to avoid getting fired. She knew she was running on thin ice at work and it was critical she made no more mistakes.

Adding to her already panicked state, she shuddered when she suddenly remembered she wasn’t alone. Turning slowly to face the man standing next to her, she was taken aback when she noticed he was smiling at her.

Hailey all but melted; he was even more attractive than what his side view offered to her imagination. Maybe running late for the meeting wasn’t so bad after all….

Maybe, just maybe, her worst fear was also going to be her greatest blessing.
