The Shaft (Closed for Halo)

[musicankane]

I always had a thing for Britney Jones. She was beautiful sexy and unfortunately my boss, Mr. Brandon's, secretary. So during the day she was completely unaproachable you know? The only time I ever saw her was when we got off and got on the elevator together. I couldn't very well ask her out in a fucking elevator now could i?

It was friday and I had to work late for the thrid night in a row. I fucking hated staying late, but the model of this damn mini mall needed to be finished.

At least I got it done by six, everyone else was gone, or so I thought, when I got into the elevator she came running up.

Britney.

Like it was destiny that we always take the elevator down to the bottom floor.

"Wait hold the door!" She pleaded trotting toward me, her breasts bounced in her tight dress and I smiled despite myself.

But needless to say I held the door.

Alec was a wise-ass (according to my friend Hillary who worked in accounting and used to date him) and he had a terrible work ethic. So, I had very little time to put up with his adolescent bullshit. He grinned as I yelled for him to hold the elevator and I could see he was probably debating whether to let the doors close and make me wait or whether to be nice and hold the thing for me.
Thank god, he held the doors for me.

I ran inside, breathing heavily as I caught my breath and leaned against the wall and the elevator began to move. I intended to get out on time today. I was supposed to meet my girlfriends for a movie night at Karen's house and Karen had very little patience for other people's schedules. I was ignoring Alec's eyes on me and planning my weekend in my head when I remembered I left my cellphone up in my desk. "Shit!" I whispered. Of all days...but that was the least of my worries as the elevator began to shake and then simply stopped with a lurching motion that made my stomach turn. We were still, and we were not even halfway to the first floor!

 

[musicankane]

The elevator jerked to a halt, and I looked at the panel. We were some where between the 18th and 17th floor. Not good. I hit the call button but there was no sound.
The line was dead. I swallowed and looked at her, "Well, uh...I guess we're stuck." I said slowly.

I sunk to the floor, and sighed. I had a hot date tonight too. With my Tv and a frozen dinner. Britney looked like she had somewhere to be too.

"You don't have a cell phone do you?" I asked.

"You don't have a cell phone do you?" I asked.

I ran a hand through my hair, pushing back a red curl from my face. "No, normally I do but as the elevator started I remembered I left it in my desk." I answered.

I tried everything to get attention from someone on one of the floors we were stuck between, even yelling. Nothing worked.

"Friday." I said in frustration, realizing that at this time of day on a friday there was rarely anyone left in the building besides me and the occasional cleaning lady.

"I think everyone is gone home for the weekend." I said, the reality of this settling. Spending a weekend trapped in an elevator? How could fate be so cruel? I looked at Alec, I knew worry was starting to show on my face but I was worried. "You don't think the whole weekend could go by without anyone noticing could it?" I asked, starting to think about the practicality of it all. I had my gym bag with me having worked out this morning before work but all I had in there was one bottle of water and a bag of carrots, oh and an unfinished sandwich from lunchtime. How would that last two people the whole weekend? I wondered.

 

[musicankane]

I looked around. "I on't know about the whole weekend. There are maintinece people that clean over the weekend. So if anything we'll be here till tomorrow." I told her.

This was really going to suck. Already it was getting cold in the elevator. Fucking Winter time. Tonight was going to be fliping freezing.

I looked at her. "So how are you?" I asked.

 

[slippedhalo]

"How am I?" I asked incredulously, "I'm stuck in an elevator missing out on movie night at my friend's house, but other than that I'm just dandy." I said sarcastically. I could see by the look on his face my bitchy answer wasn't helping.

I sighed and sat across from him, "I'm ok. Tired, Brandon has been giving me a lot more than my usual stuff to work on lately but of course no raise to go with it so I end up staying late a few nights a week to finish."

I shouldn't be complaining about the boss to a person working directly under him, I realize and just shrug, "I'm ok, and you?" I begin to hug myself as the elevator is getting kind of cold.

 

[musicankane]

I smiled. "I'm missing out on movie night." I kidded her. "Hey i'm kidding, no i've been here late lately working on this mini mall project thats been nothing but trouble." I said. I leaned back against the wall. "At least I wont feel bad about missing my TV dinner."

 

[slippedhalo]

"Tv dinner, huh?" I asked, it did sound pretty pathetic. I laughed. "Well, I have carrots in my bag, not necessarily the greatest substitute for anyone's dinner but if you get hungry I thought you should know." I told him.

"Alec, I have to admit something. I don't know hardly anything about you even though we've worked in the same office for years... and Hillary didn't have the most complimentary things to say about you after you two broke up. What do you do when you're not working, other than eat tv dinners, I mean?" I asked, deciding to pass the time with some conversation.

 

[musicankane]

I shrugged. "Hilary, yeah she was...something else. Umm, well I unfortunately don't get a whole lot of time to myself. I mean with the whole architect thing. I get a lot of projects and it sucks up most of my time. I hang out with friends usually." I told her just trying to be casual.

 

[slippedhalo]

"She said you were clingy and needy. She also said you had a lack of maturity about some things." I said wondering what his reaction would be.

 

[musicankane]

I gasped. "Clingy! I caught her fucking my best friend. She got mad because I went to see her for lunch and caught them!" I protested.

I looked at the control panel, no lights so no power. The overhead lights ran on a battery I only hoped they lasted for a while.

"Look thats water under the bridge." I said.

 

[slippedhalo]

I said nothing and just listened to him complain about Hil. "Hil was always a touch on the slutty side. She never mentioned that John was your friend." I said, "I mean, after she broke up with you she was all excited about some John dude and we all thought it was pretty fast after just having broken up with you....now that makes more sense, she overlapped you two." I felt bad for him, "Wow, that's terrible." I said with sympathy. "But, yes, you're right, water under the bridge." I agreed.

Damn, it was really getting cold in here. I didn't think I would be needing a jacket from the building to my car to Karens... I was rubbing my own arms and hugging myself, "Is it me or is it getting colder in here?" I asked.

 

[musicankane]

I took off my coat and moved over next to her to put it over her shoulders. "The elevator has no central air so no heat to keep winter out. It'll get cold in here." I told her gently putting my hand on her knee as a sign of friendship and 'don't worry ill keep you warm' thing.

 

[slippedhalo]

Alec came over and wrapped his coat around my shoulders. That was pretty nice of him. He patted my knee and my skin tingled where my bare leg made contact with his warm hand. He kept it there for a beat too long for a simple friendly gesture but not long enough for me to really get mad about either. Maybe I had misjudged him. After all, I was working on assumptions based on Hillary's descriptions of him and she wasn't necessarily the best judge of people. I smiled and said, "Thanks." not knowing what else to say in this odd moment.

My stupid heels are making my toes hurt and despite the fact that they may be keeping them warmer than nothing at all I take them off massaging my sore left foot. "Stupid heels. I hate these shoes. But, they match with almost everything I own so I keep wearing them. I think no one should ever have to wear high heels longer than four or five hours, anything more than that is just torture." I joke.

"Um, so, how long have you lived in Chicago?" I ask, having thought of something new to talk about.

 

[musicankane]

I shrugged. "I can't imagine walked on my tip toes all day." I smiled and looked at her. "Umm, I've been here about three years. Since I graduated in California." I told her.

She was really pretty. God, I'd always wanted to have some alone time with her...not exactly like this though. I can't remember how many dreams I'd had of her sucking my dick or whatnot.

 

[slippedhalo]

"California, wow. I have always wanted to visit there. I had a boyfriend who moved there to go to college, never came back... my first, actually." Whoops, why had I said that? I wasn't sure now was the time to reminisce about Gary Werther. I could feel a blush creeping up my cheeks. I had to say something to cover but all I could think of was, "California sounds so nice. Warmer than Chicago."

 

[musicankane]

I smiled. "Much warmer but unbearable in the summer sometimes." I looked at her. "You know thi sis the longest we've talked in...ever." I informed her. "I like it, it's nice. I mean I would rather be with you at a nice resturant not a stuck elevator but...well you know."

 

[slippedhalo]

Wow, that was revealing. I smiled and shook my head as I collected my thoughts, "...in a nice restaurant huh?" I decided to play along. This was the first time he ever even hinted at flirting with me. I had come to think he wasn't interested, apparently, one more area concerning him where I was again wrong. "Ok, and if you and I were in a restaurant right now, what sort of restaurant would that be?" I asked, leaning a little on his arm as we talked, the conversation getting more playful now.

 

[musicankane]

I smiled. "Well, what better places does Chicago offer that no one else does? Fine Italian. Ok so Italy probably has good Italian food to but you get what I mean." I said, I decided to take a risk and I took her hand in mine and traced the top of it with my thumb.

A surprising surge of...something electric went through me as he began to caress my hand, taking it in his, gently. Surprised at myself, I don't pull away but instead draw closer. "You're hands are still so warm in this cold." I murmur,my face only an inch or two from his. "There are some interesting scientific theories about surviving the cold and body heat..." I begin, until I realize what I had said and the connotations of it and let my words trail away, imagining making body heat with this co-worker I hardly know.

I look into his eyes and it becomes harder to look away...he has beautiful eyes, kind eyes...why had I never noticed that before and those little flecks of gold...I lean even closer to see the swirls of color in his eyes, reflecting the green of my own back at me. I am drawn to him and I don't completely understand why.

 

[musicankane]

She was so close now, I could feel her breath on my lips. She wanted a kiss and I wouldn't fight it. This situation seemed to have both of us thinking with different organs. I kissed her, it was easy she was so close all I really ahd to do was tilt my head. Her lips were soft and I could taste her lipgloss, very sweet and I didn't want to pull away. I squeezed her hand tighter and next thing I knew I was on my back with her lying on top of me, kissing each other furiously as if a fire had started between us.

Talking about sparks.

 

[slippedhalo]

His mouth was exquisite, and he massaged my tongue with his as if kissing were a sport and he was a top athelete. I don't know how I ended up on top of him but it didn't matter because soon he had rolled on top of me and my shirt was untucked and unbuttoned, and he was trailing kisses down my neck...and I was enjoying it so mcuh I didn't bother to stop him.

 

[musicankane]

I moved my kissed down til I was kissing the top of her breasts. They were pushed up in her bra but the clasp was in front and I bite it open with my teeth. I used my tongue to twirl around her nipples. She moaned and arched against me. I used my free hand to slide down the front of her pants. I was suprised to find her wet and open already. I stroked her clit with my finger and moved up to kiss her some more. I couldn't get enough of her mouth.

 

[slippedhalo]

I don't know how Alec had me undressed so quickly but I felt he had some catching up to do, so I began kissing his body as I unbuttoned his shirt and as I got to his pants, unfastening his belt and unzipping them I had him in nothing but his birthday suit in no time. He had a very nice cock, decent sized and it looked like he took good care of it, I wanted to taste him and began to lick and suck at the head of it as if it were my favorite ice cream.

 

[musicankane]

I thumped my head on the floor of the elevator and groaned. "Oh that's wonderful Britney." I gasped as she took my whole cock into her mouth, my tip pushing into her throat a little. Her tongue meaded my underside and I loved it. My cock throbbed and swelled in her mouth as if responding to her.
