AdiYa FF ~The Hookup~ NEW CH UPDATED - Page 47

Somehow, almost tripping at every step they took, Aditya managed to support Zoya till the guest bedroom.

"Here you go, your Highness. Our safar' ends here. Aditya said as he removed his hand from Zoya's back and also removed the arms that had circled around his neck. He noticed Zoya almost frown and thought she looked adorable doing that.

"Okay... Goodnight, I guess. Zoya's frown didn't leave her face and she ran a hand through her hair, loosening her locks out and removed her dupatta from her neck, getting ready to sleep.

Aditya noticed the neckline of her suit an also something else, that he definitely shouldn't have been noticing. Deliberately shifting his gaze, he said, "That's my cue to leave. Goodnight. He rushed out the door as fast he could, his hurried steps reflecting the speed of the thoughts spinning thoughts about what had just happened. He got to his room, which was right across the hallway and shut the door, trying to also shut the door to his inappropriate thoughts.

Zoya, on the other hand, was trying to fall asleep, fidgeting with the blanket. She turned over about a hundred times but sleep seemed to have become foes with her. The feeling of being alone was probably keeping the sleep away as the empty space on the other side of the bed kept haunting her. She tried to turn away but she was so used to having someone by her side when she slept, in the dark that it made her uncomfortable to even try to sleep like that. Other days, she would've managed but with her reasoning abilities being cut down by half, thanks to the liquor in her system and the feeling of being abandoned, thanks to Yash were both making it impossible to be alone that night. Knowing fact that Aditya, her new found companion in sadness, was sleeping right across the hallway made it even harder.

She changed her position, once, twice, thrice and finally gave up. In an instant, she pushed the blanket away, stood up and picked her dupatta off the ground. With half opened eyes, she waltzed right out the room.

Aditya didn't have the energy to change his uniform, he had removed his shoes, but lied down on his bed as it is. He closed his eyes as he rested his head, on the pillow. The thouhts he was running from, finally seemed to fade away but alas, he heard the door open.

"Zoya? He asked confused, as he opened his eyes and saw her standing angrily at the doorstep.

"You left me there and now I can't sleep. Let me tell you that this is not my fault, it is entirely your fault. You can't have me gulp down margaritas and listen to my sad story and then, just expect me to sleep like nothing happened! Zoya rambled on, irritated, because she wanted the sleep that was nearing her when she had her head on his shoulder, back.

Aditya had gotten up and stood right in front of her when she was giving her childish speech. "But I thought you were sleepy. He asked, confused.

Now how could Zoya explain to him that her sleepy state seemed to have vanished as soon as her head lifted off his shoulder?

"I... don't like sleeping alone. She said, looking downwards.

"But you're not alone. Zoya looked up at him as he heard him say that. She saw an earnest concern in his eyes and she hadn't so taken care off, in a very long time. She was overwhelmed in that moment and couldn't find words to tell him what she was going through. She wanted to tell him that without him, she wouldn't have made it through the night without having an absolute emotional breakdown, that he had supported her in a time of utter loneliness and that he didn't have to do any of this and she was thankful, that he did.

Instead, she stepped closer to him and trailed her hands around his torso, going behind his back and resting her head on his chest, hugging him.

Aditya was taken aback for a split second but he couldn't deny the sheer comfort he felt in her embrace. He didn't know what to do but it seemed like his hands did, as they reciprocated the hug. His arms were wrapped around her body and he felt almost soothed, being so close to her. He rested his chin on her head and closed her eyes before he heard a muffled whisper of hers saying, "thank you.

He smiled softly and didn't let go. He didn't feel the need to say, "you're welcome or even thank her back because he was sure, the hug said it all.

They stayed like that for a little longer than two minutes and Zoya started realising inappropriateness of the proximity but it felt so good, she didn't want to let go. She lifted her head from his chest, near his shoulder, slowly. Her heart was beating faster than it had ever before and the slow motion of separating from the hug had left inches away from Aditya's face. Her breath grew heavier as all of her thoughts inside her head were pointing to something that she knew was wrong.

The hands remained where they were and noticing Zoya's heavy breaths, Aditya was growing nervous too. They were so close, he could feel her throbbing heart. He gulped down in his throat once, trying to control himself as his eyes averted their gaze to her lips. The wrongness of the situation was somewhere in the back of his mind but it was fading away with each breath of Zoya's that he could feel.

Their lips were so close, it would take just one little move of his to put an end to the distance. He noticed her eyes fixated on his lips as well and for a second, they looked up at his. That look gave away a flurry of emotions from pain to guilt to longing to passion... an unspoken consent was being exchanged and suddenly, his mind went blank.

He moved closer and their lips touched. It was so gentle, Zoya wasn't even sure if they had in fact touched. She felt his lips slowly caress hers. Fireworks had went up in the sky, in her head at least, in that moment. Her lips parted slightly to embrace his and she felt herself losing control in his soft ways. She knew that he was still holding himself back a little, she could feel it. She removed her hands from his back and placed them around his neck, and deepened the kiss.

Aditya lost the little hold he had over himself when she elevated the kiss, his hands moved from her back and went down to her waist, firming his hold over her. He stopped for a second, taking a second to breathe and looked at her. He knew what was coming and so did she.

Zoya pulled him closer again, giving her consent and that was it for him. He picked her up in one swift motion and carried her to the bed. Their brains had stopped working long ago and whatever was happening was a rush of passion that had been building up inside since the moment they embraced.

Their bodies moved on their own accord after that. As they delved into one another, a feeling of completeness took over.

He laid his head in the crook of her shoulder, tired. Her skin was definitely softer than any of his pillows. He felt her hand caressing his hair and he felt an urgent need to look at her. He got up, just a little, enough to get a clear view of her face. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen and he just wanted to take in the beauty, staying in that moment forever.

She smiled looking at him and he bent sideways to get his phone. He opened the camera, wanting to take a picture of her but his tipsy-self had accidently started recording a video.

Zoya was confused looking at the guy, holding up his phone right in front of her face but stated laughing the next second.

"What are you doing, Adi?

Aditya only had one answer. "Do you know how beautiful you are, Zoya?

By then, he realised that he was recording a video and joined her in the laughter.
