#2||AsYa FF: Cupid Strikes (Chp 8 to Chp 12)

The mere thought of a cockroach on the bed made Zoya shiver with fear. She then grabbed Asad's arms swiftly and said "We can share the bed."

Asad raised his eyebrows and asked "You are more scared of a cockroach than any man sleeping next to you."

"You are not just any man" Zoya replied and forcefully made Asad sit on the bed.

Asad after settling down on the bed made direct eye contact with Zoya and asked "So you trust me?"

Zoya did not answer the question but her eyes spoke everything.

Asad, who wanted Zoya to admit it, got up from the bed and said "In that case I'll sleep on the floor."

"I am in the same room with you. I think that is an answer in itself"replied back Zoya and the proceeded to lie on the bed and turned her face to the side opposite to Zoya.

Asad probing further asked "Is that a yes?"

Zoya pretended to sleep and did not reply.

Asad sighed and sat down on the bed. He knew that Zoya was still awake and decided to prank her. He exclaimed "Oh my god. Cockroach on the bed."

Zoya hearing this swiftly got up and jumped on Asad's lap. She quivered with fear and asked "Where?"

Asad smirked at the success of his plan and said "Right here."

Zoya looked at Asad to see if he was pointing anywhere but she still couldn't see any cockroach. "I don't see it" spoke Zoya and her face was turning pale.

Asad chuckled at this and said "In my lap."

Zoya now understood that she had been played at. She was first upset and then went mad with rage. She started hitting Asad on the chest with her fists.

Asad immediately grabbed Zoya's hands and twisted them behind her back.

As a result they came closer to each other. They could clearly hear their own heart thumping in their chests. Then an eye contact was made and they both were lost in the moment. Zoya moved closer to Asad and their lips were now inches apart. This closeness was driving Asad crazy. He moved more close to Zoya and now just a little gap was left between their lips. Before they could close this distance, the wind outside made a loud swishing sound making Asad and Zoya aware of the position they were in.

Zoya quickly got up from Asad's lap and went to lie down on her side. She turned her face away from Asad so that he could not see her crimson red face.

Asad followed suit and lied on his side with his back towards Zoya.
