-Rayne's POV-
The elevator doors opened and I stepped in. I pressed the button for the 5th floor and leaned against the back wall. The doors were almost shut when a hand stopped them, and then a tan tall beautiful beast of a young man stepped in. He looked so familiar but I couldn't place him. He pressed the button for the 7th floor and stood on the other side of the elevator. He smiled and I returned one. The doors shut and a very automated female voice announced that we were going up. We went up two floors before the elevator made a wrenching sound and came to an abrupt halt. This couldn't be happening. This elevator sucks. It breaks like twice a week yet for some reason I still don't use the stairs. I groaned and pulled open the box where an emergency phone was located. I provided the necessary information and put it back on the hook. The man said it might take up to two hours, because there were three other elevators stuck in other buildings. I turned to the gorgeous guy next to me. He looked at me questioningly.
"Well hope you didn't have important plans. We'll probably be stuck for about two hours. You're not claustrophobic are you?" I asked as I slid down the wall into a seated position. He did the same.
"No. I'm Taylor by the way." He slightly cringed when he said his name, probably expecting me to scream. I now recognized him. That actor from those Twilight films.
"Rayne" I said as I held out my hand. He looked relieved as he shook it.
"That's a unique name." He said, and I just nodded before reaching in my purse and pulling out a deck of cards and waving them at him as an invitation to play.
"I don't really know any card games except go-fish and war. So which do you want to play?" I asked as I started shuffling the deck.
"I haven't played go-fish since I was like 10." he laughed. It sounded so warm. I smiled as I passed out the right number of cards and then held mine up to look. I took out 1 pair and laid them to my left. He removed two pairs.
"You can go first." I said as I studied his face. Everything about him was handsome. From his perfect white teeth to his unwrinkled clothes. His dark hair swung just at eye level. His stuck his tongue between his teeth and studied his cards.
"Got a 4?" he asked. I shook my head no and watched as he picked up a card from the deck. We continued to play and shared random nice conversation.
"So do you live here?" I asked as I "went-fish"
"Ah, no I was picking up Kellan." He said as he made a pair.
"Oh…is he one of the guys from that movie you were in?" I asked
"You know who I am?" he said while looking up.
"Yeah, but I only just recently learned your name. Actually it was last night. You were on E News. I usually don't watch it but there wasn't a damn thing on." I said as I made my last pair. I looked up at him satisfied that I had won. He put his cards down.
"Yeah Kellan is in the movie too. The really big vampire in the Cullen family….or have you actually seen the film?" He asked
"I haven't. I read the books. And if I may, you really do make a nice Jacob. You seem like a nice outgoing kinda guy. Helpful, and warm." I laughed at the last part. "Exactly what I'd imagine the character to be."
"Oh thanks." He smiled and his entire face lit up.
"So why does Kellan live in this place? I wouldn't expect a celebrity to rent a studio apartment." I said as I gathered my cards and put them back in my bag.
"He doesn't live here. His girlfriend does." He replied as he picked lent off his shirt. Even doing something mundane was cute when he did it.
"Oh" I said. The conversation just died and we kinda just stared at one another for a moment. The elevator shook and then started up again.
"Looks like they fixed it faster than expected." I said as I stood up.
I glanced at Taylor slightly bummed that this meeting would be so short lived. Was it just me or did he seem bummed too?
-Taylor's POV-
Wow this girl was so hot. She had black hair with two purple streaks. Which was totally different. Her eyes were the brightest green I'd ever seen, and she was pale and fragile looking. Her lips were a deep red and silky looking. I didn't want our conversation to end but the elevator had started back up and we were nearing her floor. I wanted to ask her for her number, but she might think it weird, or maybe we were just meant to be elevator buds for a day. I sighed and she glanced at me a question in her eyes. The doors opened and she stepped out. She turned at the last second and gave me a dazzling smile.
"It was very nice to have met you, and spent an hour or so with you trapped in an elevator." she said and then the doors closed. I leaned against the back wall of the elevator and then looked down. A piece of paper was on the ground. Had she dropped something? I bent down and picked it up. It was a number and little message. It read: I'd like to see you outside of an elevator if that's ok. J She wanted to see me again. My chest felt light as the elevator doors opened and I stepped out. I walked to Kellan's girlfriend's door and knocked lightly. She opened it and ushered me inside. Kellan immediately started talking but all I was thinking about was the girl with the unusual name and the purple and black hair.
