Coming back from breakfast with a friend this morning, I walked up the stairs to my house and entered the first door. As I was fishing my keys out of my purse which would ultimately allow me to enter the second door, and thus the building, I was terrified when I heard a slight shuffling of feet coming from someone standing directly next to me in the doorway.
Anna: *gasps!
Gangly fellow: Hahaha, I wasn't sure if I should open the door for you or not. So then I just stood here, not sure if you would notice me, but I guess you heard me breathing. Hahaha.
Anna: Um. Yeah. Who are you?
Gangly fellow: I'm Stephanie's friend Jacob. She lives on the second floor.
Anna: What are you doing standing in the entryway?
Jacob: Waiting for my car to heat up. What apartment are you in?
Anna: Um, that one (*points). Ok, well good luck with your car. *enters second door
Jacob: I actually think I'll wait in here. *shoves into the second door behind me
Anna: Oh. Um. Bye. *incoherent stammering, fumbling with apartment door lock
Jacob: Well, hey, at least you know you're alive, right? Hahahaha!
Anna: *hurries into apartment, closes and locks door, stays on other side of door listening for him to leave.
Jacob: *exits house 15 seconds later
