Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"What do you think you are doing?"

Staring at him, Alicia felt nervous in an instant and stepped backward, leaning against the elevator wall. Her eyes widened as if she was facing a great enemy.

Her reaction to being on guard against him pierced Jeremy's heart deeply. Feeling bitter and disregarded, Jeremy's lips quivered.

"You think I am going to... do something?"

Even though it was just a casual sentence from him, it was obvious to feel his pain of being rejected and questioned. From his tone, Alicia could understand his feelings and started loosened her fist gradually to let her guard down. The next second, Jeremy spoke in a despondent manner,

"I just want to stay with you a little longer!"

Despite the discomfort from being soaking wet from the rain, Jeremy felt as if he was back to the past the moment he thought of Alicia bringing him clothes. That was a time when he was being loved and cared for by her. He felt an inexplicable heartache.

Alicia, on the other hand, not only wanted to keep him at arm's length but breathed and sweated heavily that there were even goosebumps.

Therefore, for a good few minutes, she did not speak at all, but kept eyeing the elevator door from the corner of her eye.

Gradually, she felt the elevator slowed down, as if it was about to stop. After a sudden ticking sound and as Alicia moved her feet, there was a loud banging sound that shook her body. And in the next second, the entire elevator plunged into darkness. Alicia screamed.

"Aaaah!"

"Don't move, Ally. Don't be afraid and don't panic."

As Jeremy comforted her, he took out his mobile phone. Alicia opened her eyes to the faint flashlight.

What happened? Was there a blackout? Was the elevator out of order?

Instinctively, she took out her phone too, but only to find out that there was no signal. She stated to move around anxiously.

"Don't move, stand against the wall and hold tight!"

Comforting her and taking charge of the situation at the same, Jeremy pressed the elevator's emergency button as well as the buttons of each floor number.
