His creased forehead was furrowed in thought as he peered in serious contemplation at the Blackberry in his hand, quickly checking e-mail and messages, while she played absently with the strap of her handbag, slung over her left shoulder.
A neon light glowed on the wall above the elevator, indicating that it had reached their floor and before stepping in, on an impulse, she turned to him and said, ‘You know what we’ve never done, honey: Made out in an elevator!’
Blushing a bright shade of saffron, she regretted the words as soon as they’d left her lips as her husband of 11 years gaped at her in astonishment.
In awkward silence they entered the elevator and as soon as the doors slid shut, he turned towards her and engulfed her in a passionate kiss while simultaneously hitting the Emergency ‘Stop’ button on the panel; a sensuous, sweltering, making-her-weak-in-the-knees kiss that lasted for 23 seconds.
Lifting his head, he smiled roguishly at her as she gazed at him, with a mixture of love and shock, and said, ‘Well, you never asked for one before, did you?’

Well, that was unexpected! Sweet take on the prompt! I like the subtle detail.
Love it! However, are you sure she blushed ‘saffron’?! Wouldn’t it be more like crimson or red pepper or something? 😉 <3

I mean..the mush made me go awww 😀
Ha ha ….it’s like that TATA Sky ad – ‘poochhne mein kya jaata hai’ Ask and ye shall receive!
haha.. good one 😉
haha…I’m going to show this to my husband… ooops have I said too much? 😉
Whistle whistle …. Just the right amount of mush!
well it was a KISS in other terms too 😀 (the keep it short and simple). By the way the list reminds me of a great saying by Otis, the inventor of the lift… “Never accept lift from strangers” !! Speaks volumes right in present time right?
