Chapter two- Lift experiences
He had gathered his papers and was standing back up, I quickly had to avert my eyes to prevent him from catching my gaze and causing that mischievous smile to reappear.
"Thanks, you know for umm… my clumsiness. But I swear that chair leg tripped me" Edward smirked and re-opened the door, I walked forward and left the room turning to him to say goodbye but before I had the chance he spoke.
"I'm glad I was able to stop you from falling, can't have accidents when I'm teaching a lecture can we." Right yes, he's my lecturer just say yeah thanks and go. Come on Bella it isn't difficult.
"Umm…I've got to head for the bus but thanks again for catching me. See you next Monday. We're continuing-on from today, right? Great, bye" I quickly scurried off down towards the lift and pressed the call button. I whisper to myself, please don't come this way I've just completely made a fool of myself and the last thing I want is to have him come here and make it more awkward. The doors next to the lift open.
Fuck!
"You dropped this, couldn't have you unprepared for next week's lesson" Edward hands me by dropped book.
"Thank you, I hadn't realised I dropped it. Thanks" I Whisper, a little embarrassed. Just then the lift doors dinged and they opened. It seemed like they were the slowest lift doors in existence. But the second they opened I hurried in, only to be followed by Edward. I pressed for the ground floor and move away slightly from the buttons. I didn't ask which floor I just presumed ground, but I was wrong. Edward moved very close to me in-fact we were touching slightly and he pressed for the second floor. I hadn't realised but I was holding my breath. The lift doors began to close and he inched closer to me, a look driven by irrationality, centimetres now and we both heard…
"Wait...hold the lift please…" From a stranger in the corridor, my fingers did not move an inch towards the right button but being the gentleman, Edward pressed the button and moved to stand next to me. Close like before but still feeling miles apart for my own liking. This intruding stranger stood in the lift but not facing us. I could feel his hand inching towards mine, like the heat from the sun.
Closer.
Closer.
Closer.
Ding, the lift doors opened on the second floor and without a word he walked straight out and did not even look back. The stranger also left on this floor, so now I'm alone in this lift, well alone with my thoughts…
"Bella what did you think was going to happen, he's your lecturer" I whisper to myself. Leaving the lift, I walked in the direction of the bus ending the first day of the week at university, and boy was it a good day.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter, please do give me feedback its all appreciated
