Part 12-
Aditi looked over at the chocolate figure, smiling to herself she knew Zain would like it
"Can I help you ma'am" a staff member asked
"Yeah actually, I was just thinking that chocolate figure there would be great for someone I know"
The woman walked behind the counter, taking her cash as Aditi waited she looked down at the open page of the magazine
'10 signs you love him'
She read through the different criteria and sighed heavily
1. You cant remember the last time you thought about your ex
2. Whenever youre going through a rough time, hes your place of solace
3. Youre comfortable being you
4. He makes you feel safe
5. You see things in public you know he'd love
6. When he hurts, you do to
7. You have to stop yourself from talking about him all the time
She stopped, unable to go through the rest of the list, she took the chocolate figure and thanked the staff member before walking away
Aditi finally arrived outside the hotel and walked up the stairs, she was surprised to see Zain outside her hotel room
"Morning"
Zain smiled "Where did you go"
"I went to go get some gifts for my family and friends"
Zain nodded "I was wondering if you wanted to get some breakfast"
Aditi nodded "Oh also, I got you this"
Zain looked down at the chocolate figure and laughed "Now thats a gift"
He smiled sincerely "Thank you, but are you trying to fatten me up"
She shrugged playfully, dropping her stuff in the hotel room she turned back to him
-------------------
Zain raised his brow "You sure do eat a lot"
Aditi smiled "Girls gotta eat"
Zain shook his head and continued to eat
Aditi's phone buzzed loudly making her turn it over
"Ignoring someone"
She shook her head "No, I just like to eat in peace"
Finishing their breakfast, Zain looked down at his watch and sighed "Its shooting time, lets go"
Aditi forgot about the phonecall and followed Zain outside
Arriving at the shoot, Aditi ran over to the kids and got ready to shoot, she was mad at herself already, she couldnt seem to remember any lines, her only focus was Zain
He offered her a knowing smirk and began to act out his scene while she stood to the side
Tapping the table she decided today she would talk to him about them, she was tired of all the games and knew the best way to be was straight up
The thought calming her she returned to her scene and acted it out
Aditi walked to her dressing room, standing infront of the mirror
"Zain, I think we would be great together"
She shook her head, no that wouldnt work, puffing out her chest she tried again
"Zain, I see you as more than a friend"
She huffed loudly, that seemed corny
She just needed to be straight up, but that wasnt her, she always had struggled to tell people how she felt
With one final sigh she decided to just get on with it, she would figure out what she wanted to say in the moment, that would be more heartfelt
-----------------
Zain's POV-
I was worried about Aditi, she seemed worried about something but the day had been so busy I didnt have the chance to ask
I wondered if something had happened, was it the phone call?
Was it me?
To many questions and way to many possible answers left me reeling
I would just ask her, that would be best
Being straight up was the only way sometimes
I was about to go and find her to see she was already stood outside my dressing room, her hand up about to knock
She smiled and put her hand down
----------------
Aditi's POV-
"Can I come in"
Zain scratched the back of his neck "uh yeah sure"
He stood out of the way, allowing me to come in, I felt sick with nerves just thinking about what I was going to say and what his answer could be
He gestured to a chair and I rocked on my feet, I didnt know if sitting down was a good idea, if he didnt feel the same way, I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible rather than embarass myself by staying
"Zain, can we talk"
I watched as his face dropped "Yeah, of course, are you okay"
"Yeah"
I sat down but Zain still paced around, clearly nervous, if only he knew I felt the exact same way
"I want to talk about us, I think all this messing around is pointless and if were going to get anywhere then we need to be straight up with each other "
Zain gulped and shuffled on his feet
"Im falling for you Zain and if you dont feel the same way, thats okay but just tell me so I know"
Zain pursed his lips "Well I"
My phone buzzed again "Just one second, sorry"
"Hello"
"Hi is this Aditi, Im calling about your show Naamkaran and was wondering if you'd like to do an interview with us"
"Yeah that sounds great, thank you, just email me times and dates and I will sort it, thanks"
Cutting off I looked back up at Zain
He cleared his throat and sat down next to me "So are you asking me out"
I shrugged "That all depends on what you feel, so what do you feel"
"I like you to Aditi, but"
My heart hammered in my chest, the 'but' not something I wanted to hear, that always meant something bad
"Do you know what, its okay dont worry about it"
"Wait Aditi" I heard him call but I was in no mood to listen
As I walked out I felt his hand on my wrist
"I like you to Aditi but"
My sincere apologies that this is so late, I have been so so busy but im trying to update everything now
Do let me know your thoughts!
