Chapter Eleven; Tight Spaces

"So, i see you had company today." Sophie yelled from the kitchen.

I should have washed the dishes! Never leave clues behind!

"Well, yeah. He came over again." I admitted while she shook her head.

"Why are you doing this to yourself? Do you still love him?"

I didn't answer her question and she sighed, patting my head. "You still do. Then why are you planning his wedding? It's obvious he couldn't forget you either so why?"

I knitted my eyebrows in confusion, "When did you start liking Kyle? Up until yesterday, you were calling him my past that i had to forget, blah blah blah."

She smiled, "That was before i knew you still had feelings for him. I thought you were able to forget him, because you stopped talking about him these past years."

I sighed as i fell into her lap, "Well, i thought i did. Until i came face to face with him."

"Go tell him who you are! I'm sure he'd cancel that darn wedding." Sophie said trying to hype me up.

"Penelope is a sweet girl. I don't want him to break her heart. Besides the story of Kyle and myself is over, the story ended when he decided to sleep with my dad excuse for a best friend, who by the way didn't bother to contact me these past years." I explained to Sophie while she played with my hair.

"I cannot believe Jasmine did that! That back stabbing, boyfriend thief!" She said through a gritted teeth and i laughed.

"But to be honest, we know this story is far from over..." Sophie said and that made me jolt from her lap and sit up straight on the lavender silk couch.

"Let's not mention this, for now." I replied to what she was hinting at.

She raised up her hand in surrender, "Okay, relax."

"I'm going to the room." I announced because last two statements made me feel uncomfortable.

"You can't run away from your past for long you know. It's gonna catch up with you someday." She warned but i didn't want to think about that.

She is just saying things that sounds deep, when in reality, it isn't.

I laid on my bed and a text came in,

Kyle: Goodnight, my new friend

Me: Goodnight, stranger :)

Kyle: That reply was quick, were you expecting my text?

Me: Maybe.

Kyle: Dream of me

With that i went to sleep with the biggest grin plastered on my face. It then occurred to me that i didn't forget Kyle at all.

Meeting Macy and being around Macy made me feel different.

Her smile, her beauty, her body. It gave me a whole new vibe i didn't know i had, not even Penelope had that effect on me, all i wanted was to talk to her and well smile more.

The last time i genuinely smiled because of a girl was years ago. My face was probably not used to smiling anymore, but i guess they can get get used to it because as long as Macy's there, my smile will be there as well.

I feel like I'm betraying Alexis for actually meeting someone that gave me the effect she did.

I felt i was also  betraying Penelope because if though i never loved her, I'm getting married to her soon and i will be forced to probably have kids with her.

Sighing deeply, using my palms to rub my forehead, i realized we had reached a familiar four storey building that held the sign, 'Matthew's Corp"

I got out of the car with a black coffee in my left hand. I breath in the cold fresh air and make my way inside.

"Good morning sir." Was all i heard from everyone i walked past, acknowledging them by slightly nodded my head.

I relaxed when i took the elevator to go up to my office, but then someone rushed in before the door could shut, spilling my hot coffee on my red suit.

"I am so sor-"  The lady tried to say, bringing out a handkerchief

" You should be." I completed, grabbing the handkerchief from her grasp and started using it to clean my suit.

"Hey!" She raised her voice and it sounded all too familiar. She stopped shouting when she saw my face.

"Macy?" I say in surprise almost laughing.

"So you're the one that acted like a jerk." She spat glancing at her handkerchief that was in my grasp.

I noticed what she was staring at and i immediately hand it to her, "I'm s-sorry, i didn't know it was you."

Sorry? I can't remember the last time i said that word to anyone.

"Use it. Are yo-"

The elevator lights started to flicker as the elevator stopped moving. The lights went out.

"Oh my god!" She screamed frantically as she noticed what just happened.

"Relax. I don't know why the power went out, let me call the maintenance team." I say bringing out my phone, but there was no signal.

I sighed and i felt her hand hold my arm, "Why are you sighing?"

"There's no network here. We have to wait for someone to notice, which will be weird because i and my dad are the only ones that use this elevator." I answered and she groaned in annoyance.

"Shit." She muttered tugging my arm close.

"Chill. Hopefully when my dad arrives, he'll notice."

"When's he gonna arrive?"

I glanced at my wristwatch, "Probably an hour or two from now."

"What?!" She screamed into my ear.

"Why are you getting so agitated?"

"I don't do well with tight spaces." She answered, with her breathing going off the charts.

"You are hyperventilating. Calm down!"

"Calm down?" She paused taking deep breaths. "You wouldn't tell me that if you were claustrophobic!" She practically screamed again.

"Oh my god! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!" She repeated multiple times causing me to hold her tightly.

"I'm here. You won't die!" I smirked, although i wasn't too sure she could see it.

"Oh really? Are you oxygen now?" She replied sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

"I'd totally offer you coffee but someone spilled it all over me."

She scoffed at my statement, "The person did you a favor. Imagining walking around early in the morning, drinking black coffee. Maybe that's why you're so bitter."

I smirked, "No darling, i could prove to you in so many ways that i wasn't."

She nudged me with her elbow and i chuckled.

"Since we're getting comfortable, why don't we sit?" I offered and we both slowly sat on the floor of the elevator.
