We've all been there, right? When we're so sure someone has a thing for us but we have no idea how to really find out.
From "We're just friends, okay" to "Why do you always get so shy when you're shooting a scene with me"?
With a mix of jealousy, love, attraction and unknown feelings, what possibly could go wrong?
Join Zain on his quest to try and work out if Aditi really does like him as more than a friend and if she does, what will he do about it?
To find out check out 'I Think She Likes Me ' below-
The Green Eyed Monster-
The new Adiza IV gave me way to many feels, I just had to write another story on them! So, I hope you enjoy and as usual, do let me know your thoughts!
~I love everything about you, except the fact that you're not mine~
I looked up from my script at the sound of laughter, unable to calm my curiosity, I stood up and walked towards the noise.
"Oh Zaan, stop, you're embarassing me" Aditi giggled, slapping his shoulder
I had noticed over the past few weeks that Zaan and Aditi seemed to have some kind of bond that had been slowly growing into something day by day
"What's so funny" I spoke up, I didnt really have any idea why I interrupted, because I really needed to be learning my lines, not involving myself in their little escapade
"Oh its not something you would understand" laughed Zaan
"Ha, hillarious" I spoke dryly making Aditi look my way
She frowned, her brows furrowing, her honey brown eyes twinkled with confusion
"Dont you think you should be learning lines Aditi, this isnt a playground, we have a job to do"
And there I went again, bossing her around because I wasn't comfortable with her being so close to Zaan when we needed to rehearse
Clearly it was because I cared about my role as Neil, not because Zaan and Aditi were spending to much time together
Atleast, that's what I told myself
Aditi removed her hand from his shoulder and began to walk away from us both
We had been working together for ages now, yet she still was nowhere near as close to me as she was to Zaan
It bothered me, a lot.
"You alright, you seem a bit" he stopped, searching for the right words "On edge"
"I just care about the show, we cant afford to get this wrong right now and you distracting Aditi isnt helpful at all" I turned swiftly on my heel, storming off
I wasnt in the mood to ponder on why I was so annoyed or listen to anymore of Zaan's flirting with Aditi
I just needed to get my lines right, and not think about why Aditi could look him in the eye but not me

"Ban ja tu meri rani
Tenu mahal dawa dunga
Ban meri mehbooba
Main tenu Taj pawa dunga" Zaan sung
I noted how his eyes stayed on Aditi the whole time rather then Payal, he was like a lovesick puppy and it was just getting irritating
The song was over before it started and then Zaan and Payal were pulled over by a producer
Aditi looked down at the floor, crossing her arms awkwardly
"Did you" I went to finish my sentence when she interrupted
"Yes, I finished learning my lines" she replied, walking away from me
I closed my eyes, pinching the brim of my nose, I exhaled loudly, she was so difficult to talk to sometimes

"What am I forgetting, what am I forgetting" I spoke aloud, tapping my chin
Then I heard that irritating laughter again, this time from right behind me
I turned my head over my shoulder to see Zaan leaning against the wall, his eyes concentrating on Aditi as she spoke to him, chuckling as she spoke
"Yo, Zain, we still on for that drink" Zaan called
I nodded "Sure thing" it was a surefire way to find out if Zaan and Aditi were just friends or more
Why was this even bothering me?
Now I was sounding like the lovesick puppy and that wasn't okay
"Hey, mind if Aditi tags along" Zaan questioned
That wasnt a good idea, that way I wouldnt get any information and I really didnt want my night to be full of their flirtatious conversations
"Isnt it just meant to be a guys night"
I didn't miss the deflated look on her face, she stood away, grabbing her bag
"Dont worry about it, you guys have fun" she smiled, but I could tell it had hurt her that I didnt invite her
"Aditi, wait" I called, walking after her
She stopped, but didn't turn back to see me "Yeah"
"I didnt mean I dont want you there, I just meant that I needed to talk to Zaan in private, you get that right"
She nodded "Course, see you tomorrow"
I truly was the biggest idiot sometimes

Zaan downed his shot quickly, he looked over at me
"So, why didnt you invite Adu, I thought you liked her"
"Like her" I questioned, alarmed "No, of course not" I assured
"Chill bro, I meant as a friend" he laughed "Like you and Adu could ever work"
He shook his head, clearly this was very funny to him
"What do you mean by that" I was intrigued now, my eyes narrowed
"Oh nothing, you're just complete opposites, no compatibility"
"We have compatibility, I mean look at the show"
"Aree yaar, thats Neil and Avni, not Adu and Zain" he smirked
"Listen man, if we had no compatibility, would the fans really ship us" I had no idea why I was trying so hard to convince him but I was
"If you say so bro, if you say so" he nodded
His phone buzzed, Aditi's name lighting the screen
I tried not to show my interest in her calling him as I peered over
"Hello, Adu, all okay" Zaan asked
Zaan nodded "Ill be straight over" he promised and cut the phone
He slammed some money down, slipping his wallet back into the back pocket of his trousers
"All okay" I could feel my heart beating fast, was she okay, had something happened?
"Yeah, her washing machine is leaking, gotta go help, drinks on me for leaving early" he patted my shoulder and walked away
All I could think about was why she had called him and not me?
I downed my drink and decided to call it a night, my mind was swarming with to many thoughts that right now, I just could not understand
