Three Shot : Then He Kissed Me - [Completed] - Page 3

Damn it Harsha!! You know how to make me swoon over them..
They're so so cute..We're back Zoya's POV here..Someone is falling very fast..Will they eat the cake 😉

Thank you for writing this prequel to Toxic, it helps us a great deal in getting some insight into how our main characters met and how they used to be before all the bitterness unfolded. The way you have conveyed this part of the story here is adorable and light hearted, it definitely provides a very pleasant reprieve from the dark intensity that is surrounding the story for now. Infact this Os has the capacity to turn into a separate SS like a prequel. :) As always love your work!!👏🤗

That was great... feel for Zoya, she is fighting such a loosing battle with herself and Aditya. Has Aditya any hidden agenda ?

Then He Kissed Me : Part 3

~ The Crystals

There's a knock on my door "Go away" I yell.

The door pushes in and I turn over to blast the intruder with threats I fully intend to follow up on. They all go unsaid as I see Aditya standing in my doorway, holding two plates with cake and forks in them.

"Room service" he says, coming in and putting one down on my side table.

I sit up in a hurry and smooth the sides of my hair down. "I am not in a mood for dessert" I say, swinging my legs over to the side of my bed. I glare, going for the angry young woman look but it apparently fails as it doesn't stop him from sitting down next to me.

He digs into his own piece "I'd taste it first, if I were you. This is some good stuff" He shoves a giant bite into his mouth and smiles.

I try not to smile, I really do "You're evil. You know that ?"

"I have been called worse" he shrugs "I will take it as a compliment"

He cuts another bite from the cake "We should talk"

I look at the chocolatey goodness calling my name "About what ?"

He raises an eyebrow "The dinner ?"

And the verbal diarrhea spills over. Again "Oh, yes the dinner. I liked the song Andie chose. Slow and soothing... and the beans were off the charts"

He places his empty plate beside my untouched one. "Not today's dinner. I want to talk about the dinner which ended with our kiss"

"What about that ?"

"We still have three months left for the semester and we can't avoid each other, me being the TA ensures that. Also, I am Andie's project partner so ..."

"So what ?"

"I don't want us to be awkward because of a kiss"

I pick up my cake. I needed the sugar rush to see this conversation through "It was just a kiss, big deal" I shrug.

He smiles "Very well. All's sorted then"

Awkward silence.I can hear the wall clock ticking. Tick Tock. Tick Tock.

Shouldn't he show himself out ? It's rude to tell him to get lost especially with our recent truce. Duh !

I blurt out the first thing that comes to my mind "How is your project with Andie going ?" Like I care !

"It's going good. Fantastic actually"

I rephrase his intentions, just to be sure "You say that you want us to be totally okay with each other, no awkwardness, right ?"

He nods "That's correct"

"Then what were you doing at the dinner table ?"

Translation : Why the hell were you touching my knee. Making circles on my knee. Holding my hand. Goddamn flirting with me !

"Just having some good food and conversation. You know hanging out with friends" he shrugs.

The next bite stops halfway to my mouth "Hanging out with friends ?"

He nudges me with his elbow "Come on, Zoya. Don't be like that. We can be friends, can't we?"

My heart skips another beat. I shake my head as I eat my cake "I guess" Do I even want to be friends with him ? I don't know. It feels risky. Like, really risky. I inhale the cake and keep the plate on the side table.

Like the lady I am, I wipe my hands on my shorts "But let's not kiss ever again. Friends don't kiss, you know"

"Fine. Even though I have already kissed you and then some"

"What's that supposed to mean ... And then some ?"

He shrugs, giving me a lazy, sexy smile "And then some means you were pressed against me, I was pressed against you and we both were doing things to each other which fall under more than kissing" His lips curved up even more, and I swear I remembered at that moment what his tongue felt like between my lips. I turned around to hide my burning face.

"Wow" It was the best I could do. No other words would come to mind.

"I'm sorry is that too forward for you ?" he asked. He was obviously perfectly cool with everything, not showing anything other than slight amusement in his tone.

"Maybe" I admitted. Definitely. Holy shit, how is he turning me into virgin Mary by just sitting here and flirting a little. What is my damn problem ? Is he really flirting ? Doesn't he want to be friends ? Like what in holy hell is even going on ?

"I don't see why it should be too forward, since you confessed that you broke up three months ago and 'he is my worst mistake' - those were your words, not mine"

I notch up the honest-to-goodness in my voice "You seem like a genuine guy and I don't want to give any wrong signals. It's just ... I need to learn to date all over again before I can be even ready for coupledom. You know what I mean ?"

"Perfect. I am not even looking for a relationship. Time suckers. I am just proposing that we see each other casually and take it from there. Just keep an open mind. If it happens, it happens. Otherwise..." he leans towards me "I don't kiss and tell"

I lean back "I am not kissing you again"

He smiles like an angel and backs off "You break my heart"

He stands and pulls his phone out of his pocket.It's then that I realize it was buzzing. I'd thought it was pulse. Being near him was making my system go offline.

"Yeah. Okay, I'll be out in a bit" he replied in all seriousness.

Good. Finally. Just leave.

"I have to leave. Work calls. Do I have cake in my teeth ?" he asks, giving me a huge grin.

I check his squeaky clean whites and lie. "Yeah, a little"

"Where ?" he leans in closer to me. Again.

"Everywhere"

He leans even closer "Help me get it out"

"Go away" I push his shoulder. Half-heartedly. I didn't want him going anywhere right now. I catch a whiff of his cologne, musk and woodsy.

He moved so quick I didn't even see it coming. One second he was grinning commercial worthy teeth at me and the next those lips were pressed into mine. A quick smooching sound and he was gone again, back to standing in front of me.

"I changed my mind, we are not going to be friends"

He was through the door before I could get myself together enough to respond.

We all have a moment in life, when something minuscule happens which changes the course of our whole existence. I didn't realize that this was mine - my turning point. I didn't realize that my whole life had just flipped because one charming idiot had changed his mind. I didn't realize that nothing would ever be the same. I didn't realize that my life would be divided into two parts - before this and after this.

Oh, how I wish I had !
