Distractions

Elavate ...

      I can hear the sound of the city morning outside my window , I can almost see the sunlight sneaking its way trough my closed eyelids. I try to go back to sleep but it's useless  the early morning of the busy street wakes up up without so much a care.

    Right there at the edge of my bed I can feel him , looking at me , staring me down ready to attack.
" hey BOJO" I whisper
He looks at me almost angry , but then again that is BOJO always angry , he's probably hungry. " I swear that fat cat will really annoy me one day" I think to myself . But the truth is that he's the love of my life ,  and no greater companion .
I decided to get up ,very slowly and lazily , what can I say I'm not a morning person and never will be .
Sitting in the side of the bed I look over and call BOJO to me , he does not follow as I presumed.
"Alright ,alright I will feed you in a minute , relax"
Almost as if he understands me he slowly crawls over ever so gently almost assessing how true are my words .
Rolling my eyes I get out of bed and head straight for the restroom .
While brushing my teeth I look in the mirror , I've noticed that since I've sort of always looked the same , not that there is anything wrong with it , in fact im quite alright with it.
5'3 , 125 lbs caramel skin , almond dark brown eyes full pink lips ,and a head full of messy curls at the moment . I guess I'm not bad looking but I'm no movie star either.

   As I wash my mouth ,I head out to the kitchen and open can of fancy feast and place it on BOJOs bowl .
Before you know it see along white fluffy and a
  White ball of hair making it's way to the bowl .
I bend down and caress his soft ears as he purrs while eating .

Looking up at the clock it read 7:30 ... "ugggggh" , "shit not again"  I rush to the restroom and take the fastest shower I can.

"Come on Liz !! "
I was supposed to be gone 30 minutes ago but being as I am me I am always late I would like to blame it on the fact that I am Colombian because we are always late to everything but at this point it's really just me.

Looking at my closet I see a white loosefitting dress resembling satin ,grab my nude booties and a white cardigan to go,
I grab a hand full of hell and run it trough my hair ,giving myself a messy bun curly do ,
While simultaneously applying foundation with the other hand a little bit of eyeliner and bronzer and  always highlight and I'm out the door and onto the elevator.

See, by my morning routine you wouldn't you think today is no big deal . But that's completely the opposite , today is the day that I finally get to stage my first home .

     I'm an interior designer and opportunity will be huge specially considering who will be looking at the new house we are presenting.

DING .
The elevator doors open and I am out the door and into my car .
Making it just in time to my office building .
As always the first floor is buzzing with workers , delivery man business people and your occasional interviewee,  I think out of the usual as I head towards the elevator and press the fifth floor I am ready to show my best .

"5th floor"
- " wait huh" I think to myself and I turn around . And there in that split second something happened. I'm not one to be dumb founded by a good looking guy but him I couldn't figure out and I was not sure if it was good or bad.

" are you deft , 5th floor" , he said once again without even looked at me , there he was staring at ha iPhone typing away . Not that there's anything wrong with that but he could've at least said please.

In moments like this it's when I really wish I was not so petty , this is one of my many flaws .
And just like that  I press 1, 2, 3 , 4, 6 , 7  every single floor but 5 .
And just as soon as I finished I regretted it immediately realizing I myself needed to go to the fifth floors

"Shit"
I turn around look at him , but this times he's looking right back at me, but not just any look  this was a piercing 👀 almost between annoyance and curiosity .
In that moment we were staring at each other for ages , Time sort of stopped.

I paid attention to every detail now see that he had not dark but hazel eyes behind very beautiful dark eyelashes and lips that could make you wonder what they can do .

" how old are you "
-" huh"
"How old are you "
- " my personal business"
" you made it my business when you decided to make me late for my meeting"
- " maybe if you wouldn't have  of been so rude we both would've been on time"
  I know it was a pathetic comeback , but it was all I had .
he blows out a stream of hot air trough his nose as he walks closer to me .

And as he's walking towards me I sent him to become a freaking ninja,I cross my ass and slightly lift my leg , assuming a ninja position I tried to mimic from last nights movie
- I need to seriously lay of the Kung-fu movies

As he gets closer and closer he reaches for my hands and pushes them down down , with a little effort as I tried my best to keep him up he places my hands on my side and slowly on my back now holding me in a very compromising position.

- "STRANGER DANGER, STRANGER DANGER "
- "why are you yelling "
-" because you're touching me very inappropriately and I don't like it"
- " how exactly I was merely trying to defend myself from your karate moves" he chucked lightly
- " or maybe I should just simply put you over my knee and spank you right now for acting like a child"
-" listen we we don't know each other bbuddy that's called assault" now I'm stuttering  like an idiot.
- " really ?! , he says quite Smug . " I think you will like it"
-" listen I don't know what kind of kinky shit you're into but I'm not the one so you  for you better let go let go before ..."
     I  know where this powerful screeching sound comes from the top of the elevator, in that moment I knew karma was coming right back at me this is what I get for being petty. He lets go of my hand as we both looked at each other  realize that the elevator has stoped working ..

Frantic I turn
- " NO NO NO NO NOOOOO 👎 " , "elevator bs my friends come on" I yell while pressing the buttons as if they can hear me .

- "well that's the I guess"
He buttons his gray suit jacket and takes it all up and sit on the floor. I turned around with the mouth open eyes ready to bug out.

And I just stare at him be audacity to be relaxed in this moment is beyond.
- " you .... you ,  do know we are stuck in here right" " I have to be at work in the next hour I have to be in 5th floor "

- " it's your fafault you press to the buttons so sit down  and shut up,  i'm sure they'll realize we are in  stuck here sooner or late , and I rather sooner"
- "my phone !!"
I reach into my 👛 only to realize I have no signal just my luck.

- " I have no signal either we are in an elevator now sit down there is a limited air in here don't use it all by moving too much,"
"Sit"
He uses his stern voice , and just like that I'm sitting on an elevator floor , facing a man who makes me feel something that I cannot determine at this time .
