Zoya never knew where she got the nerve and plain reckless insanity to do what she did next.
Conceivably some residual effects of Asad's touch had something to do with it, or maybe it was depressing vision of the enforced celibacy of her future she saw stretching before her that made a little crazy.
Atleast this way I'll something to remember.
Boldly she took hold of Asad's dark head. As her fingers sank into the sleek, glossy pelt that covered his head she realised that she would actually been wondering what this would feel like from the moment she'd opened the door and found him standing there.
As she dragged him down to her level she stretched upward on tiptoe until their faces were almost level. In the nanosecond just before she placed her lips she directly looked into his eyes; what she saw smouldering in his gave her the courage to take the last step.
She started kissing him but realized he was not responding.she began to pull back, she would have pulled back but out of nowhere the chemistry materialised;the air around crackled with the energy looking for an outlet.
Oh my God!'her insides melted . she made a final total protest before giving into the heat coursing through her veins. This isn't a good idea.'
You thought it was a minute ago,'Asad, whose thoughts had also been running very much along those lines, rebuked her throatily.
I've stopped thinking.' And this she pointed toward them that's never happened before.'
He laughed at her husky confidence.
May be you should stop talking too' he observed, sliding hid tounge between her invitingly parted lips.zoya went totally limp.
Instead of catching her Asad controlled her stumble, allowing the impetus to take them both the several feet to wall.
A disoriented Zoya Found herself standing with her back pressed against the wall, her hands either side of her head. Their lips touched and there simply wasn't anything else.when they finally broke apart they were both panting as their eyes reconnected. But this eye lock soon broke by kids calling to Zoya.
Phoopie where are u?'asked saif suddenly he saw Asad.
Uncle Asad u are here?'
Woh actually .. I was here to ask about u guys? How are u kids?'
We are fine uncle' phoopie can uncle stay for tea?'.
I'm afraid that isn't possible, children.'
Zoya hated to see their little faces fall, but in the long run it was better for them not to nurse false hopes.
Mr.Khan is a very busy man.'
Asad Squatted down to child height. Perhaps onne day you could come and have tea with me at my house in the country. I have a little girl who is only a little older than you two.'
Wow , can we, phoopie?
We'll see.'
Once she had reached the front door with Asad she allowed her anger to boil over. How dare you fob the children off with false promises?'she demanded in a furious whisper.
Well,congratulations,they think you're hero,but its me who will see their faces when they don't get an invite to tea. You can walk away and never think of them again-she frowned to hear the quivery note in her voice' but I'm the one who will have to come up with an explanation,'she finished with breathless resentment.
What?' she demanded querously when he just carried on staring.
You don't wish me to walk away?Is that the problem here?'
Zoya flushed at sly insinuation in his amused voice.'The problem is you lying to the children without thinking the consequences. I suppose daughter doesn't exist either.'
She does and her name is Sehrish
Oh!'
And the only time I have not considered the consequences of my actions was when I kissed you.'
So fine, he regretted kissing her-she could live with that.'Forget it.'she shrugged casually .
But u are the most amazingly passionate woman I have ever met. It was like holding flame in my arms.'
Me ?
We both know what I'm saying is so.'
Stubbornly she shook her head.
And I did not lie to the children-I would like them to visit. We've just moved over from Bhopal and Sehrish has no friends yet. It would be good for her to meet children near her own age. I could show you our new house'
I don't want to see your house, I don't want to sleep in your beds and I don't want to see you.'
You would have me break my promises to the children?'he asked.
Zoya literally ground her teeth in frustration. I would have you get lost,'she hissed ungrammatically.
Don't you believe in fate? I do,'he revealed And I think you and I are fated to be lovers.'
Asad looked out over the incredible vista of the city and didn't see a thing as he picked up the phone and dialled.
Get me everything you can on Zoya Farooqui-she lives in this building. Dr .Farooqui-she is a psychologist.'
finally getting therapy, are you? Good move.listen,Asad, I know you pay me well,mate, but the private detective stuff really isn't my remit.'
I need someone I trust, Akram'
There was a pause the other end.'this isn't about what we were talking about earlier,is it?'there was troubled note in lawyer voice.
I think she might be my future wife,'Asad confirmed simply'
You cant marry a total stranger, Asad'
Have you ever heard of fate,my friend?'
Fate! Have you been drinking, Asad?'
With a smile Asad poured a measure of brandy into a glass.'Oh and, Akram, would like to know if she has slept with my brother.'
There was even longer pause.' And if she has would that make difference?'
Only to my tactics,not my intentions.'
Remind me never to own anything you want, Asad,'the other man said wryly.
Asad replaced the receiver and took a swallow of the golden liquid, savouring the taste as it slid over his tounge.
