Airhostess: Name please, Ma€™am?
"Zoya. Zoya Farooqi€
"Here is your passport Ma€™am. Go straight and to your left is the cafeteria and right is check out and baggage collection."
Zoya:-" Thank you."
She was exhausted from her exceedingly long (or so it seemed to her) 9 hour flight. She landed at the Heathrow airport about 25 minutes ago. Damn these security checks! She thought.
She saw an attending give her a dirty look.
Did she say that out loud? Oops! As if she cared.
She walked into the cafe and ordered a large latte.
"Here you go Ma€™am''
"Thanks"
She switched on her cell.
Dialed a number and waited.
Ring ring.
Ring ring.
"Pick up, pick up!" She muttered
Asad was walking in the cafe as he waited for his dad's flight to land.
He was not really paying attention to his surroundings as he crashed into a girl.
"Dammit"
"What the Fu-"
"Oh I am extremely s-"
"Can€™t you watch where you are walking?"
She looked up from the stained white AC/DC shirt into a pair of the most mesmerizing eyes she has ever seen. They were almost brown, bordering on hazel. Huh. Interesting color.
He looked down at the most beautiful face he has seen in his life. She had the pair of the most gorgeous eyes he had ever laid his eyes on. She looked so innocent.
Shaking his head as if to get rid of his thoughts, he said rather arrogantly
"Excuse me? Are you deaf too? I am talking to you."
Zoya snapped out of her revive and glared at him but couldn't help but stare at his fine physique.
Focus Zoya
She shook her head and said
"You could have also watched where you were going, Allah Miyan I was about to apologize but no, you had to be arrogant. Well then Mr., no apologies from me, you can take your arrogant self somewhere else. And besides, you were the one who collided with me. And the nerve of you-€
All the thoughts of her innocence flew out of the window when she opened her mouth. He really wasn't in the mood today to listen to the stranger's rant.
€œPlease, spare me from your lecture; I am in no mood to listen to you€
Damnit, why did his voice have to be so damn sexy? Concentrate Zoe, You are arguing with an arrogant asshole here.
She thought.
"Oh yeah? Well tough luck Mr, I couldn't care less, nor am I about to waste my time on you"
And she walked away.
"Feisty one huh? You always know how to pick them. "
James said as watched a girl€™s back and at the agitated look on his best mates face.
"Shut up James." Asad growled.
James put up his hands in surrender.
"Dude!"
Asad sighed.
"When's the flight landing again?"
"In half an hour" muttered Asad.
*********************
Pick up Rose. Common.
"ZOEEE"
Zoya turned as she heard a voice squealing.
"Reddd"
Rose Weasley or "Red" stopped in her tracks.
She pouted cutely. With her voice dangerously low, replied:-
"You know that I don't like that name Farooqi "
"Well tough luck! I ain't changing my besties nickname" Zoya mimicked in an American voice.
Rose chuckled and stepped forward to hug her.
"Ro..rose, can't breathe" gasped Zoya as Rose's fierce red locks smothered her.
"Sorry" Rose grinned sheepishly, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
She scrunched her nose when she saw coffee stains on Zoya's Tee.
"How did that happen?" She asked nodding towards her shirt.
A pair of brown eyes, his eyes flashed in her mind. Rolling her eyes, she said "Bumped into someone" whilst linking her arms through Rose's.
"Ooh, was he handsome?" Cooed Rose.
Slapping her head upside down she said " Tu bhi na.."
"English, ma Cherie, not Hindi. Speaking of which, Welcome to London! Or should I say, welcome back!"
Grinning like a Cheshire cat she hailed a cab.
"So where to?" She asked Rose after loading their luggage.
€œYou€™ll see. €œReplied Rose.
Hmm. She mused.
They came out of the cab.
€œWhere are we?€ she asked.
€œMy new place. Our rather ours.€
€œOurs?€
€œOh, I meant me, James, and two other guys. I am so glad that you came. It is so difficult living with set of immature boys.€
€œJames? Your cousin?€
€œThe one and only. Alex and Asad are his friends. Mine too. And that you are here too, you have to pay your part of rent. You know, London can be pricey.€
She noticed the part when she said €œAlex€.
€œSure.€ She said waving her hands. And speaking of the guys I am guessing one of them is more than a friend to you. So who is it?€ Zoya asked waggling her eyebrows.
Rose blushed. €œNo one. I don€™t like no one. I hate, scratch that, absolutely despise him.€
€œWho is it?€
€œAlexander Hyperion Malfoy€
€œWhat kind of name is that?€ she asked Rose, as they dragged her luggage with them to the lobby and waited or the lift to start its decent.
€œI know right? Its not a nickname or anything. When Jamie introduced us, I was like were your parents high when they named you? And for some reason, he took offence to that.€
Zoya snorted.
Red looked at her and said€ Yeah, ikr? By the way, real ladylike. And then he retorted, you are the one to talk, weasel?€
€œI have hated him from that mo.€
€œDoesn€™t look like that to me€ Zoya said in a sing song voice.
€˜Shut up. What did you pack anyway? Stones?€ said Rose giving her a push.
€œClothes and Books. It€™s not that heavy anyway.€
It was Rose€™s turn to snort. €œSo you say€jo
They got out of the lift and Rose rang the bell, praying it was either James or Asad who opened the door.€
As her luck had it, Alex opened the door.
He sneered at her.
€œWeasel€
€œMalfoy.€ She narrowed her eyes.
€œI can feel the love people.€ Zoya shouted, trying to lighten the mood.
Alex eyes travelled to her, taking in her appearance.
€œSorry. I am Alex.€ He said, extending his hand to shake hers.
€œYeah, I know. And I am Zoya Farooqi. Rose and James€™s friend€ replied Zoe shaking his hand.
€œYeah, I know. Nice to finally meet you. James has not shut up about you since Weasley here mentioned that you were coming. €œ
Alex picked up her luggage easily and led them onside. Zoya raised her eyebrows thinking what they fed their men here. They were all damn hot, her mind went to the guy on whom she had spilled coffee. But rose was busy ogling Alex€™s muscles that were visible through his tee. Hate? Yeah right. She looked like she was ready to jump his bones.
€œMight have to do something with the fact that I beat his sorry arse at running. His ego was so badly bruised that day.€ Chuckled Zoya as she remembered his face that day, a disbelieving expression adorned his face, surprised that a girl had beat him. Boys she muttered.
€œWhere is he anyway?€ she said looking around the flat, taking in its appearance for the first time.
It was moderate sized apartment, the fall facing the door was completely made of glass, soft brown
curtains were draw across. In front of the glass was a large white couch and opposite it was
a 42 inch plasma . on to it€™s right was the kitchen, with an island table and to the left was stairs leading
upstairs. Underneath the steps was a large bookshelves filled with books and next to it was a door. Her
eyes widened at the sight of the books. Rainy days were going to be a treat, she thought happily. Next
to the plasma, there was a wall painted deep purple which was adorned with photos. I€™ll examine them
later, she thought. The simplicity of the flat astounded her.
€œWow, its beautiful€
€œI know right? Asad designed it, though Weasel here might have to do something with the bookcase there and James has gone with Asad to pick up Asad€™s dad.€
€œOh, and who is Asad?€
€œHe lives with us and goes to college with us. Though his parents have a huge and magnificent house, he doesn€™t like staying there. You€™ll will be joining us in business college I presume?€
€œYeah, I got a scholarship here and my ' folks thought that it was best here since we lived in London and all before€mm..Before we moved out of here.€
€œYou used to live here?€
€œYeah, till I was eleven.€
€œOh, kay, then I€™ll shift your luggage to your room?€
€œYeah, sure.€
They went up the stairs . Rose pointed at the first door at the landing and said
€œThat€™s git€™s...oops, Malfoy€™s room€™
She hastily corrected herself when she saw him glaring at her.
€œAnd that€™s Asad€™s.€ don€™t go in there without his permission. He will skin you alive.
€œAnd that€™s mine. €œ she pointed at the room adjacent to the former.
€œAnd that is yours€ She said pointing to the room opposite.
€œWhere is James€™s room?€
€œDownstairs. It is easier cause we don€™t have to be traumatized after hearing what he does to his latest fling,€ deadpanned Alex , shuddering.
Rose also gave a shiver.€Yeah, to put it nicely.. James has become a .. umm€. playboy
of sorts€
She entered her room. On the opposite was a bed, bare of its covers. A desk was placed near the window and a door leading to the bathroom and a door leading to the balcony.
€œSorry, I€™ll bring in covers. No one uses this room much. You€™ll get plenty of time to personalize it since school€™s not starting until the fall.€
€œIts okay Rosie. €œShe said giving her a side hug. €œThanks for having me.€
€œAre you kidding? I wouldn€™t have it any other way. Even if Zeenat Aapi hadn€™t called, I would have you here only. We were neighbors for six years, after all.€
Alex placed her luggage at the foot of the bed and said€ Excuse me Zoya. As much as I love to witness this pure, heartbreaking reunion, I€™ll have to go. You get freshened up.€ He said addressing only Zoya
€œSee you later€
Rose glowered ay his back. €œInfuriating prat.€ She muttered.
€œWhat?€ she exclaimed as she saw Zoya smirking at her. €œHe is. And despicable and infuriating and annoying and..and so..ugggh€ she said stomping her foot like a child who did not get her candy.
€œAnd yet, You like him.€
€œNo I don€™t. And even if I did, he wouldn€™t. You try falling for a guy whom you are supposed to hate and who will never in a million years, reciprocate that feeling.€
€œI wouldn€™t€ stated Zoya simply.
Little did she know that she was so wrong.
