So here's to David Gandy!!! And most definetly to all of you!!!

Chapter Ocho

It's time to woo, Wanna make you my boo..

Gonna make up for lost time...Just wait and see..What I'll do.

I sit by the porch, directly facing the glittering lake. The sun is shining bright, emitting its last rays before it recedes for the day. My laptop keeps me warm along with the cup of coffee sitting on the table besides me, as I try my best to write the next sentence in the interview.

Coming here was a mistake. I had no need to be here. I could very well be in my hotel room, typing this interview and reducing my work stress. But here I am, completely distracted by the movements around me, and the thoughts within.

Seems like they plan to shoot by the lake.Everything is set up and just as I start to wonder he walks out. With a white robe to keep him warm from the cool breeze that has me shivering, he walks up to the deck of the lake. He doesn't look back at me. He keeps his focus and walks up to the crew.

Next the girl walks by, she is dressed in white, a sexy short dress that leaves nothing to the imagination. It hugs her in the right places accentuating the right things, playing in-between sexy and s**tty. She smiles at me and walks up to where Asad and the crew are standing,most likely discussing the plot.

My mind can no longer work on the interview. Its too curious to see the shoot.

Asad gets his instruction along with the girl and he nods.Next thing I know he takes off the robe...

All he is wearing is a pair of tattered jeans...The top two buttons undone, the strap of his Dolce Undies clearly visible even from a 100 meters where I sit.

The crew works on him a little, body oil, bronzer etc etc...They pull the pants down a lil...introducing his very toned pelvic v.

I sigh inwardly, I cant help but swoon.He looks too good.

Next he walks up to the edge,gives the gal his signature smirk and dives into the lake...

WO...My breath is caught in my throat...He resurface, greek godly..and mesmerizing...He swims with an ease unknown to my eyes, and as he reaches up to the stairs and climbs up, I cannot help but slightly moan at the way his muscles bulge at his movements. His Jeans are barely hanging on to his hip, making it look damn sexy...His hair is long and pushed back, dripping water on his well sculpted kiss worthy face...

The girl leans down to give him a hand, he takes it and pulls himself up and in the next moment he has her pulled close to him and leaning in for a kiss...

OMG ...I think I am going to die...I don't think so I can stand watching him kiss another girl, even if its for a shoot...I almost yell out, but I am saved the embarrassment when I hear the director yell Cut..

My breath comes back to me and I continue to sit there...

2-3 shots in...he is unstrapping the strings that hold the straps of the dress...while the gal pulls him closer by the hook of his jeans.The whole scene is sinfully sensual...The almost kiss has me locking my legs in reaction. I cannot help but imagine my reaction if I was there, instead of the girl. Would I be able to maintain the distance or would I succumb to the growing desires in my being?? I want to kiss him, no...I want to be kissed by him.His eyes catch mine right in the middle of these thoughts and I blush, feeling caught, feeling like he saw right through me. His Eyes darken and he deepens his gaze. Even from a distance I know he knows what's in my mind. I try to look away, but just as I turn I see him say something to the director and start walking my way. I don't know what's on his mind, but I know what's on mine. Panic, Insecurity, and borderline insanity.

I have managed to stay sane for long enough, I have managed to distract myself from my true feelings long enough.I am in love with him.But this acknowledgement, this knowledge has no use, as it's not in my hands' .I can't make him fall for me. My thoughts see saw between my fantasies and realties.

My insecurity bothers me. I have never been the insecure kind. I have always been confident in all my relationships. So far I had been doing great. But ever since the day his thought invaded my mind, snowballing into this very moment, I have only been surrounded my insane emotions. Giddiness, nervousness, doubts, insecurity, confusion,chaos,u name it, I ve been through it. I feel like I am constantly fighting a lost battle..I am constantly trying to convince myself that what I feel for him is only the byproduct of my teenage crush. But now I can no longer keep up with the faade. The voices inside were screaming the revalation..I was in love...I was always in love, with him.He was the one, my first love, the one that ruined it for all.It was always his image, the blurry obstruction that stopped me from pursuing a fruitful relationship. How did I not realize this?? Tears threaten to make their way out and I know there's no stopping them. For some reason it hurts for the first time. It hurts cos this time I know, its not just a crush.This time it hurts cos I know, I cant make him love me, that's his very decision. And realizing the possibility of a no, my heart wants to break and crumble. I don't know why I am so negative, he can like me right??and in time learn to love me?? I know he has technically only known me for 3 days, but didn't we have some moments that surpassed the significance of timelines??

I am reeling in these thoughts, completely unfocused on the fact that he has almost filled in the distance between us.

A drop of water falls on my bare shoulder and I snap out of my pity party. I look up and I instinctively back out on the ottoman, almost falling on my back,but he has me. He always has me, catching me when I fall, always there, rescuing my sorry A**.

Careful. I hear him say and I blink a few times wanting to make sure he is still there...

I am here...for real...quit blinking, I wont disappear..

He pulls on my elbow and lifts me up. I feel the wetness on my hands, and a few drops going about teasing my neck, as the droplets leave his hair and face.I think I am blushing, or rather burning up, I can't tell...I am too foscused on him touching me, being so close.

This is chaos, in my heart, mind and soul, this is a merger of million symphonies playing at the same time.All amazing and seeking my attention, but too many for me to register in one go. This is chaos, pure chaos. My heartbeats are up up and out of my control. My body is heating up, my mind is losing it and my sanity is ready to run and hide...What is going on...I am panicking.

His presence, along with the current realization of my feelings for him have me in a very vulnerable place

I look at him seeking answers, he raises his eyebrows, as if questioning the turmoil within. I know he can see it all. Why and how don't ask, but I know.

~~

There's a dull aching in my heart ever since things lined up and my ideas and me realties met.I can't help my heart's desire to look at her all the time. My eyes want to look at her. But thankfully I listen to my mind and stay put. I continue to focus on my work. The sooner I get this done, the sooner I can work on my idea. I am starting to feel uncomfortable and a little too conscious shooting. The proximity is making me queasy. I've known Lara for a while now and we have shot a few ads together.We have shared some steamy scenes together in the past and never have I felt this uncomfortable. But today its different.I am hesitating holding her, or getting close to her. I am too conscious of Zoya sitting there and watching. So I try and not look at her, focus on my work and get it done.

Something inside me seems to have shifted.My interest lies in her,Zoya. I feel a deep desire to make it up to her, to take a step and woo her. Make her feel what I feel.I know its more than like. I know its too early, too quick but its strong and unavoidable. My heart rejects my explanations and takes over, and before I have the time to stop myself ,I am grabbing her by her elbow and pulling her close can see it all, the reflection of my conflicts perfectly mirroring in her eyes. She feels the same.I am sure. I can see it clearly. She takes her time to get back to now, I let her stay in her thoughts as I myself try and make sense of the situation. But just as the pulls out and Our eyes meet, and it all falls into place. I have my answer.

The doubt, the hesitation is gone, as I lean in closer to her face and whisper into her ears.

She shivers, I can feel it and I want to smile. I like the effect I have on her.She gulps as I say her name.

~~

Zoya...he whispers into my ears...and I am undone like never before...I moan inwardly at the tease.My name sounds so ..I cant place the right word, I am too all over the place..but DAMN...its sounds so seductive...

I gulp and manage a hmmm...

What he says next...almost sends me into a faint...but thankfully. He has been holding onto my elbows.

Go out on a date with me...he says...

I gulp...I have lost my voice...but somehow I have gained some guts...as I dare and look into his eyes...

Now why did I do that...cos the moment I look back...and our eyes meet...I am gone...gone for good...head over heels...falling in the deepest of abysses, truly madly deeply kinda gone...gone to where his eyes are inviting to take me...Zoya is no longer my entitiy...she is his...and rationality...or reality...has nothing over the power his eyes yield. He has me...and I'll do whatever he wants...

Cant believe that me...a self sufficient...independent..girl of today..that can manage the world on her own has willingly given herself to the guy who hasn't even asked..but even than...I have given myself to him...My heart is now at his mercy.

Say something...

I gulp, blinking but not breaking eye contact...

Stop with this...respond..I know you can talk...so stop gulping and looking at me with so many questions...rather...say what I want you to say...

Huh...

I don't like no's Zoya...that's your hint...

Huh...I doubt I am here...I think I am long gone...dazed and hypnotized in his gaze...

Say yes...

Yes??? I conform.

Great. Adam will drop you at the hotel..I have a few things to take care of and then I will come get you. Be ready for 8pm.

I just stand there...I can put a statue to shame...I just stand there...

Zoya...I hear him call...but nah...I am not here...

I see him raise his eyebrows, as if thinking of something...and before my mind registers, or rather calculates his next move...he,yet again does something that leaves me...dazed, hypnotized and now...very much...shocked out of my black Christian Louboutin's.

He kisses me, to break my spell...no doubt bringing me back..but taking me into another spell...a much more...explosive and consuming spell...

~~

I am not sure if I am to enjoy the effect I have on her or be annoyed...For the past 5 minutes...I have been holding her, while she swoons in and out of her dazed expression...She barely reacts to my statement..But I know better. I have taken her by surprise.She never expected that...now did she...I wanna gloat in the glory...but I am yet to get her answer.

I somehow manage to get her back to here long enough to get a yes, but then she is gone again...

I don't like that...When I talk...I am heard...

I look at her...

She's in my arms...petite, beautiful and completely stumped at the turn of event...I smirk...the first step is taken, Cant wait to see how she'd react later..

Zoya I call her but she barely seems to be present. I need her here...and I know just the way.

Without a second thought...I do what I have been wanting to do since the 24^th of June 2005' .

I was standing with my friends outside my class, when a distinct laughter called onto my attention. I turned around and I saw her. Dressed in cherry covered dress was the girl who had helped me immensely with my English assignments...Her binder, had made me smile, her notes had made me think, and her ideas, that she so openly wrote on the pages, had inspired me. I had talked to her for maybe 3 times over the course of the semester and every time a thought played in my mind. The thought of a possibility, of a dormant desire to want to know her. But that never happened.

But then as I saw her laughing with her friends, I couldn't help a thought escape my mind. a desire to kiss those dimpled cheeks.

At that point the thought had seemed silly. I had a girlfriend, and I wasn't the cheating kind.So just as soon as the thought escaped I locked it back in and forgot all about it. But I couldn't help but look back in her direction one last time before I resumed my conversation.

She was leaving as I looked back, and in the next second she was gone.I started to turn back, a little disappointed ,it was my last day at school and I would never see her again. But just as I turned, I saw her binder.It lay on the railing, abandoned and lonely, and without a second thought I went and grabbed it. Don't know why but I did.

After that day I looked at it for inspiration, trying to remember her.A time went by and life asked for more and more of me and my time, I forgot about the binder.

The heartbreak that Kiara left me in, had me running away from love.What followed next made me move past my silly ideas and made me a man.

But now here I am looking at that very same girl, the one that touched my heart even without trying, the girl who I never knew liked me so much back in the day and still does..I try but I cant doubt that idea.

I lean in and fillin the distance, and I kiss her cheek, right where her dimple seems to dent.

As expected, she jumps, reacting to my kiss.Its the perfect reaction that I expected.But what takes me by surprise is my reaction to a simple peck on her cheek. I feel a strong rush of emotions course thorugh my body,its overwhelming. I can't help but wonder if a kiss did this what would the next steps entail.

I manage to turn back my attention to her.She is finally looking at me, her eyes wide open..Her mouth gaping in surprise..

I smirk...and shake my head...

Now that I have your attention, Adam is waiting by the gate.He will take you to the hotel, and I will be there in the next hour...Now Scurry off and get ready...

She manages to nod...and I let her go...and she almost falls...I grab her just in time..

Get your bearings Ms Farooqi...I wont catch you everytime..

You will...she says..

What...I am surprised at her response.

You will...I know...She finally frees herself from my grip and starts to collect her stuff,as I dawn on her gestures of being shocked.

She amazes me.I smile realizing what those 2 words mean. She trusts me. I like that.

Just then she walks past me with her work back and I cant resist. I grab her by the wrist and turn her around, crashing her body into my damp torso...

She looks at me with those doe eyes, questioning my actions..

I smirk and I lean in once again and whisper..

Wear Red tonight. And with that I seal in the deal and kiss her other cheek and let her go, smiling as I see her recede into the upcoming darkness.

~~

What just happened??? Did he just ask me out on a date??? Did my highschool crush, the guy I have fallen for so badly just ask me for a date???

I still cant believe it.

I am in my hotel room, in nothing but my fancy lace, red colored lingerie, trying to make sense of the turn of events.

I have been sent out a red Dolce gown, with matching everything starting from the lingerie to the tear drop diamond earrings, diamond bracelets and Gold Monolo's.

Is this for real...I ask for the umpteenth time I am not sure, I am not conviencied.

I look at the clock.

Its 7:23pm. He should be back by now.

So without a second thought I call his room.

Hello?? His husky voice has almost falling off the edge of the bed...

Its Zoya...

Yes..Zoya...he says my name with such...Aah it makes me quiver..

Uh...Umm...Dinner...Date??

Yes...Dinner date...you and me...getting to know each other...no questions...no interview...no rockstar persona...just a guy taking a girl out for dinner.

Oh..

Did you call to double check..He laughs...He knows the answer..

Ok bye..I put the phone down and lay on the bed...I need to catch my breath.

One more chapter to go...and that shall bring you the date..and the romance...I don't think I will do an epilogue..but you never know...hopefully I'll get enough likes to update the next chapter soon...I can very well do that tomorrow..but wont without the expected likes..that is 100...so get on it...and make it happen...

Ps ...I hope you guys liked this update...do share your views...I am not quite sure of the flow..cos I had written it halfway before..and then I added to it..so if its choppy that's the reason why...

But over all...do lemme know how it was...

As for now...cya soon!!!
