The Elevator TrapSetting: Office building elevator

The office was quiet that Friday evening. Most people had rushed off after the closing hour, eager for their weekend. But she—Amaka—had stayed back, finishing up reports and waiting for the Lagos traffic to thin out.

He stepped into the elevator just as the doors were closing. A faint whiff of his cologne—woodsy and warm—drifted into her space. Their eyes met briefly. Tension sparked. Not the awkward kind, but the kind that tightens the air, makes breathing a little harder, and thoughts a little filthier.

The elevator jolted slightly as it began its descent, then came to a sudden halt between floors.

A soft curse escaped his lips.
“No network,” she whispered, holding up her phone.
“No CCTV either,” he muttered with a wicked grin, stepping just a bit closer.

The silence grew heavy. Her pulse quickened. There was nowhere to go, nothing else to do. Just the two of them, the dim light, and that humming electricity dancing between their bodies.

Without a word, he reached out, brushing a strand of hair from her face. Her lips parted, not from surprise, but from anticipation. Their mouths met halfway—slow, deliberate, heated.

Hands explored with unashamed hunger. Her back pressed to the cool metallic wall, his mouth trailing from her lips to her neck, tasting her skin like a man starved. Her hands slid beneath his shirt, exploring toned muscles, clawing slightly when he pressed his thigh between hers.

The tension snapped—like a stretched rubber band—when her blouse came undone. Fingers found lace, then skin. His touch was sure, practiced, but hungry like he’d never touched a woman before. She gasped when he lifted her, letting her wrap around him like vines on a pole. Moans muffled against kisses. Breaths synced. The elevator became their secret room of desire.

By the time the metal box jerked back to life, her lips were swollen, his belt was loose, and their eyes—oh, their eyes—were drunk on something far stronger than lust.

As the doors slid open on the ground floor, they stepped out wordlessly, shoulders brushing. No one would ever guess what the elevator had witnessed.

But they both knew.

And it wouldn't be the last time.

✍️ "Weak in the Knees"

 He had me against the wall before I could say his name — fingers digging into my hips like he’d paid for the right to bruise me. He kissed me like he was angry, tongue sliding against mine until I gasped — that sound he loved, the one that made his grip tighten. By the time he slid his hand between my thighs, my knees were gone — soft, trembling, useless. I whispered don’t stop but I didn’t need to. He wasn’t going anywhere. He knelt right there, lips on my inner thigh, mouth making promises my body already believed. And when his tongue finally found me — hot, slow, devastating — my back hit the wall and I heard him laugh into my skin. “Weak in the knees for me, baby?” All I could do was moan — and give him everything he’d come for.

✍️ Somebody’s Shoulder Is About to Give Up

 Somebody’s shoulder is tired. Not from lifting weights — but from carrying everyone else’s silence. She smiles like she’s fine, but she’s tired of being the strong one. The listener. The fixer. The one who holds everyone together — even while she’s falling apart. She answers texts when she’s the one who needs comfort. She claps for others even when no one claps for her. She gives. She bends. But she’s starting to break. You’d never notice. Because she hides it like a pro. But if you look closely, her eyes say: “I need someone to carry me now.” Somebody’s shoulder is about to give up. And the saddest part? She’ll still ask you if you’re okay — while she's quietly drowning.

I get jealous over someone who isn’t even mine.

It’s embarrassing, honestly. Feeling jealous over someone who hasn’t promised me anything. Someone who owes me nothing. Someone who might not even like me back the way I like them. But here I am — getting irritated when I see their name pop up with someone else, getting quiet when they don’t text back on time, overthinking when they post something that doesn’t include me. I act unbothered. I pretend I’m cool. I respond with “lol” and emojis like my heart isn’t acting stupid. But inside? I’m burning. Not because they’re mine but because I wish they were. I know it’s foolish. I know I have no right. But feelings don’t wait for permission. They attach themselves quietly, softly, and then violently — especially when you try to ignore them. Jealousy without entitlement is the worst kind. Because you suffer silently, pretending you don’t care, while hoping one day they’ll choose you so you can finally stop lying to yourself.
