When I Was A Wallflower

She was about to turn around when her waist was gripped tightly and she was dragged into the elevator. Her back immediately made contact with the cold wall.

The process happened too quickly, and when she tried to turn around and attack the other person, they caught her hand perfectly and pressed it against the wall. She lifted her leg and tried to get at their lower half, but it was caught and trapped as well. Both their bodies were now pressed together tightly.

"It's me," a low, masculine voice uttered as the other person pushed her hand higher. She glanced sideways to see Leo looking downward, his face nearly touching hers. They were now in an unbelievably intimate position.

"What do you mean by this, Mr. Alston?" His face was dangerously close as his breath tickled her face, making it difficult for her to breathe. She had no choice but to turn her head and avoid him.

His face moved closer, the breath from his lips fluttering against her cheek as he spoke. "Why did you come here dressed like this?"

His long fingers moved against her temple as he tried to remove her wig. He did not like her dressed as a man.

"It's none of your business, Mr. Alston." Amelie was pushed against the wall by Leo and could only shrink into it. However, she was already fully pressed against it; since she didn't know the art of contortion, she couldn't get any further than that. The back of her ear burned as he breathed against it.

"Mr. Alston, can you release me? The way you are pressing yourself against me will make witnesses suspect your sexual orientation."

He merely laughed and did not retreat. "That's better. It will be less troublesome."

Well…

Even if he didn't mind it, she did. She didn't want this to be recorded and eventually hit the headlines.

"When have you become so cheesy?" He would never have said such things back then, even on the brink of death. "I'm more used to the past you."
