Trapped in an Elevator

It was a calm Tuesday afternoon and we were having a photo shoot with one of the most delightful actresses in Nigeria. We were upstairs taking care of the clothes and accessories when one of my colleagues phoned me to come say hello to the wonderful gentle man who let us use his hotel for the cost of session at the cost of nothing. I was a bit reluctant because i was into what i was doing and didn't really want to be disturbed. Oh well, it was the best i could do to show we were grateful for the help, so hurriedly i went to the elevator  and Ah! down stairs i was. I expected to met a very mature old man , probably with pot belly, weak yellowish grey hairs , but to my surprise , he was not only young but handsomely hot... when w got introduced i just stood there staring at him and smiling without saying a word. I was too astonished by his good looks to even say hello.

Hi! "I'm Kunle Brown ," He finally said to me .

Hello! "It's nice to meet you Kunle . The name is Patricia. I'm so sorry  i stared to long". I managed to say, i was expecting to see an elderly man . 

Ha! ha! ha! he laughed . Heartily, flashing his beautifully carved gap tooth, Wow! I thought to myself , are there still young unmarried, handsome dudes in Lagos? To cover up for my sheepish behavior, i started a quick conversation but instead of talking about the hotel and its soothing ambiance, i found myself commending his mohawk hair cut  and his beautiful nerd like shades.

"I love your hair cut" I blurted .

"Really? Yeah it s cool but i think I'm getting too old for the style though" 

Naah! I replied ," it looks awesome "

Wow! That's warming , thanks for the flattery though".

It's no flattery , one of my new year resolutions is to get my hair cut like this but that would be after I've lost enough weight". I said, rolling my eyes.

You don't look bad at all though, just a little bit of dieting and you would be good to go" he said, smiling as he pursued my entirety. Excited b the compliment and recommendation, I decided to change the conversation so i don't look cheap or needy.

"Thanks a lot for letting us use your hotel, you have a wonderful place here, i must say"

Anytime dear, its a pleasure to do something for a good cause.

I started sounding more excited than usual . Well i'm about to get caught  i thought...the panic started coming, so i decided to hurry out before i let my decency down."If you wouldn't mind I'd like to hurry up to get stuff sorted out". I said casually.

Truthfully, i didn't want to leave that place or the guy, but this work won't give me time for myself lolz.

Oh sure! it was really nice talking to you. I'm still around though, if you have a break we could chat more, he said".

Mmmmn! what is that is that I'm sensing? someone is messing around ...sure! i said with a suspicious but excited tone.

People, don't get me wrong . It takes a while these days to find guys like this around. I walked into the elevator  thinking about the dude . When i got into the elevator i was so sure i pressed the button that read 5th  floor but surprisingly the elevator took me to the ninth floor  and back to the ground floor and  back...And suddenly it stopped but didn't open .Haba! what is happening to this damn thing? i thought in a panic... I pressed all sorts of buttons but the elevator did not answer me. My heart started pounding a lot of things went through my head . Am i stuck here? Do i scream? No i can't, Kunle would hear me and think I'm a bush girl..But I'm sweating here o! Oh my God, what would happen to me if they are not ale to rescue me? what will i tell God i was thinking about while the elevator stopped working...some very stupid random thoughts passed through my head.While i was thinking myself slim..the elevator started going down again. IT finally stopped at the ground floor hesitated a it then opened, i practically ran out of the coffin and almost knocked sown a waiter carrying drinks..While i was apologizing for the mishap, Kunle walked up to me and asked" Are you okay, Patricia? "Sure! i just have a slight headache, i want to see if i can get some tablets"i lied placing my had over my head.

Oh sorry dear" he offered nicely touching, my forehead too. "i  think you should have a lot of water and take a break from this shoot"

Yeah! i think so, i would just take my break now" I said, smiling inside. Ha ha! ha!...which water? which break? Abeg let's gist some more jor and get this friendship started. Well sincerely that was all i really wanted. We chatted some more but half the time my ind was going back to the elevator and the 10 minutes that felt like ten years in hell.

If you were in my shoes what would you have done, seeing yourself trapped in an elevator
