The Matchmaking Service ON HOLD FOR EDITING - Page 8

Haha he sure is! Anyone would struggle to focus around him!

Thats very true

Thank you lovely, no problem!:))) xoxo

Adi spent the night in Zoya's house

Thank you lovely

Thank you lovely

I took a deep breath as I sat down infont of Yash, he wore a large white cardigan over a navy shirt that fitted his body nicely, and I couldn't help but feel nervous as we ordered food

"So, Zoya, how is your family"

I smiled "They're great thank you, yours"

He smiled back at me, his hand reaching out towards me "Good, I must say, you really are beautiful"

I blushed "Thank you, you look very handsome tonight"

"Only tonight" he winked

"Uh, no I meant" I shook my head, jumping slightly when he took my left hand in his

"I was joking Zoya, it's okay, are you always this nervous" his thumb rubbed circles on my hand which only made me more fearful of how badly I could possibly mess up the date

"Um, I just need to pop to the bathroom" I stood up quickly, running to the bathroom, I locked myself in a stall "Come on pick up"

"Hello, Zoya, aren't you on your date"

"Um, yes, im currently locked in the bathroom, i'm so nervous, why am I so nervous, he held my hand and I think he's flirting with me but I dunno"

"Okay, breathe Zoya, breathe, it's because you're new to this, you just need to take it at your pace, smile, be nice, and make conversation" his voice was calm, slightly slowing my racing heart

I closed my eyes and rested against the stall door "I dont get it, i'm so nervous around him, but i'm not nervous around you" I huffed

Adi chuckled into the phone "That's because you like him, you don't like me in that way"

I grimaced, right, of course that was the reason, I was new to all of this but being around Adi made me feel at ease in ways being with Yash didn't. It was a concept I didn't understand, but clearly he did. "Okay, I can do this right"

"You can do this Zoya" and with those five words I suddenly had faith to face my date once again.

XXX

"So, yes my Abbu has Alzheimer's, after my Ammi was killed, he never really was the same, he got a lot more forgetful, he doesnt know she's dead, we used to tell him, but he just broke down, then forgot again, so now we don't"

Yash frowned "Im so sorry Zoya, that must be so hard, you have so much on your shoulders, it really is time you had someone to share the load with"

I couldnt help the smile that came to my face, he seemed to be saying all the right things, infact that was really all I wanted, someone who accepted me and my family and who would love them as much as I did. "Its okay, we all have our difficulties, so tell me about yourself"

He cleared his throat "I organise parties, I have my own business, and I live alone, thats about it" he laughed

"What made you become interested in that"

"I just really like a good party" he tipped his head to the side "Aren't you hungry"

"Um, not really" in all honesty I was to nervous to eat

"Oh okay, well I must be going now, but I would really like to take you out again, say in a few days time" he stood up, putting money on the table then helped me put my coat on

"That would be great" I thanked him and waved before rushing to my car when my phone buzzed by my side

"Don't leave the restaurant and if you already have, go back" Adi ordered

"Urgh, fine, I was actually around the corner from home"

"No you weren't, you're the worst liar ever"

"Your job is to find me a match not make me a better liar, I swear all you ever do is complain, do I not have any attributes that you like"

"Nope" he cut off, how rude, god he was infuriating

I looked out of the window as he parked up "What was so urgent" I walked over to his car

"You didnt eat because you were nervous"

"How did you know" I blushed, looking down

"Because I know you, now come on" he wrapped a hand around my wrist, tugging me forward and I couldn't help but be taken back by how thoughtful he was, my heart began to race slightly, yet I still remained so confused by him, did he hate me, did he like me, was he just tolerating me or was this all just part of the job?

"Eat" he shoved me the food that seemingly was already ready for us, what was he, the king?

"Yes boss" I began to eat "Why so worried about my eating habits, anyone would think you care" I rolled my eyes

"Im not that bad, I am human you know, you just annoy me" he looked away

"You annoy me too" I sat back sipping on my drink "But if I annoy you, why spend so much time with me"

"You pay me to"

"Nu uh, you're not getting out of it that easily, I pay you to help me with Yash not worry about my eating habits, so" I leaned over the table, peering up at him

He scowled down at me "Alright, maybe you entertain me" he shrugged, crossing his arms

I smiled, leaning over I pressed a kiss to his cheek "You're a good man Adi"

Adi turned his head to look at me, his eyes wide "Save that for Yash"

I winked "Just trying out my flirting skills, dont get to carried away" I wiped my hands, if he wanted to play games, I would play too, though there was a niggling thought in my mind, why on earth did everything come so easily with him but not Yash

His eyes narrowed as he stood up with me, gripping my wrist "You're playing with fire Zoya"

"Oh but I wont be the one to get burnt" I turned away, throughly pleased with myself and walked towards my car

so the first date went well

But it was the first date for Zosh

but it ended up the first date for Adiya

Aw thank you lovely! Sorry for the delay! Me too:) i will do xoxo
