Chapter 23
Hey guys!
Okay whatever I had to, I said in the first post.
So..Hope ya'll enjoy the update...Asyalicious! On readers demand ! 😆 😃
After closing the door of my room, I threw myself in the bed. What was it that happened in the dining hall? But whatever was that, it felt so good.
That touch! HER touch, that was happening after six long years and it felt so good. How much I had missed holding her hand. For a moment I wanted to grab her and hold her tightly to never let her go. But then I had some other plans. I didn't want JUST Zoya. But much more.
Again my mind retrieved back to the dining hall scene and a huge smile appeared on my face as I replayed the footsie. She really is hell bent on making her plans work. Keep going girl! This is just the start of the game, and you will know how stubborn ASAD AHMED KHAN really is.

As the stupid sun rays peeped in through the slightly drawn curtains, I rolled to the other side of the bed to get some extra amount of morning sleep.
But alas! There's something in my bed. I'm sure, there is something. And if the sun rays hadn't compelled me to open my sleepy eyes this unknown object in my bed surely did. I opened my eyes slowly, and there she was. Zoya Farooqui.
She looked so beautiful in her sleep. Well, she always does, but this quiet and serene Zoya looked extremely cute at the moment.
She had her hand wrapped around my arm. Without giving a second thought, I slid my free hand around her waist and pulled her closer.
With a content smile on her face she snuggled into my chest. I swear she had got some kind of magnet in her body for she had me, attracted to her since this long. I dropped a soft kiss on her head and enjoyed the moment, with her in my arms.
The next moment I realized her eyelashes fluttering open against my neck. I was in panic. For god sake I had my arms wrapped around her waist. So, I did the very first thing that came in my mind. I pretended to be asleep.
After a while, she withdrew herself from my grip but not completely. I still had my arms around her. For a while, I couldn't make what she actually was doing, since I had my eyes closed. But I could feel her gaze.
Then, I felt her soft fingers on my face, tracing a line from the forehead till the jaw. I controlled a gasp that had nearly escaped my mouth. But the next thing she did made the gasp audible. Those soft lips of her in my skin always played havoc in my mind and it had the same effect, even today.
I expected her to be shocked, to sprang apart and leave the room. But nothing of that sort happened. She waited for me to open my eyes and when I did, she placed yet another kiss in my cheek and whispered a sexy "good morning" with that confident smile on her face.
And that confidence brought me back to reality. Realization hit me: She is in her active mode and can do anything to get what she wants. And here I'm making it easy for her.
Asad Ahmed Khan, get back to the game. I reprimanded myself and went to my akdu' mode.
"You! What are you doing in my room? And in my bed?" I asked feigning shock as well as anger.
She looked at my eyes for a while. I know she was trying to look behind my words. But I was not going to make a fool of myself. When she didn't find what she was looking for, she simply smiled and said, "sleeping with my to-be husband and making myself habituated to my future bed", before turning the other side and resuming her sleep.
"Please Ms. Farroqui, marry me in your dreams." I said trying my best to sound irritated."But the next thing she did shocked me out of my wits. And if that was not enough, what she said made me sweat in the early morning chilled atmosphere.
She had me pinned on the bed with her body above me, our hearts beating in unison, breaths mingling together and her cold, soft fingers playing havoc with my nerves. It wasn't the first time we were this close, but this definitely was happening after a long time. And hence this awkwardness and moreover, we didn't share the same kind of relationship we had once shared.
Leaning closer to my ear, her breath fanning my face, she spoke, "You talking about dreams? Than let me tell you Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan, I have already married you more than 1000th times in my dreams. And yes, my dream is not just limited to OUR marriage; it has some censored scenes as well. You want me to share?" She said the last part with the voice that sent chills down my body. I had to match her up and hence I pushed her away harshly and got off the bed.
I knew that was rude, but had I not done that, I would have done something I might have regretted later. And to justify my action, I turned to her and said with a rigid voice, "I warn you, think thousand times before entering my room. Make sure that this is the last time I'm seeing you here. You no longer are part of this room and my life."
"Oh really Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan?Aur waise bhi, why are you being rude? I was just playing fair, y'know? If you can sleep in my bed why can't I??"
And that was when Asad Ahmed Khan went silent.
Oh Humeira! I trusted you on this. But why did I forget, you are Zoya's sister first. And Girls can never be trusted with secrets.
And as if reading my thoughts, "No one said me. My bed smells you and I can never forget your cologne," she said so softly that I could barely hear the last part.
"That's...that's wrong! I...I have never been to... your room, in...last six years. And moreover, why...why would I?" I found myself defending my deeds though I knew my voice was betraying me.
"Ahaan, Asad agar tumhe pata hai ki tum jhoot nahi bol sakte, why do you even try?" She is now moving forward. And I match her proceeding steps with mine descending backward, till I'm trapped between the closet and her petite frame.
"I am not lying." I tried not to look at her eyes. But then she placed her palm on my left cheek and forced me to look at her. I try my best to avoid those eyes, for I was sure, one look at those eyes and I was a goner.
"Asad, look at me?" She demanded to which I bluntly declined. And when she didn't get what she wanted, she placed the same palm on my heart. God what was running in that wicked mind of hers? "Your heart is running wildly. I still have the same effect on you. I still reside on your heart. I still am reserved in your dreams, your thoughts. You still lo..." I didn't let her complete. I was afraid of blurting the truth as her intimacy was provoking my body and moreover my senses.
"I am getting late for office." Saying so, I slightly pushed her away, grabbed the towel and rushed inside the washroom.

I came down for dinner after getting ready in my three piece suit. And the sight that greeted me, made my throat dry. I sucked in a deep breath to calm my nerves. There she was, dressed all professional, in a creamy shirt and a pencil skirt that reached a little below her mid thigh. She is hell bent on making me think things.
"Oh! There's Asad." Abbu brought me out of my thoughts.
"Yes Abbu?" I said maintaining an even voice.
"I was looking for you. Can you bring Zoya along with you? Actually me and Zehan have an important meeting to attend in an hour. So, we are heading there. And since it's her first day in the office, I would want you to be there with her. Introduce her to the rest of the staffs, show her the cabin she would be working in and instruct her about what she would be doing."
"Will she be joining our company abbu?" I asked in disbelief?
"Yeah, and mind it, she is not the staff. But one among the board of directors. And for some days she would be working under you."
"But Abbu? Why me? There's Aayan, Zyan and even Humzie and Najma.? She can take help from them?"
"I guess you didn't hear me. She is among the board of directors. So technically, her position in the company would be equal to that of yours. And thus your help would be more effective."
I sighed heavily since there was no way out. I had thought that at least at office, I could have peace, with no Zoya around. But seemed like Allah himself was plotting games against me.
I looked at Zoya who as usual was standing there with a slight smirk on her face. My eyes once again travelled from her head to the toe. "God help me!"
"And listen Asad, we are throwing a huge party this Friday, on Zoya's return as well as for welcoming her to the company. And the entire arrangement is on your hand. Don't disappoint Zoya. Plus, there's a special announcement to be made, which is going to be a surprise for all of you." Saying so Abbu left the house, leaving a frustrated me behind. "Only if that was left. Jab meine join kiya tha company, tab toh party nai rakhi thi." I muttered under my breath and moved towards the dining hall. "I am special Mr. Khan." I could hear her giggles but didn't dare to look back.

Precap : "Zainab, hamari beti jinda hai, aur yahi kahi hai, Delhi mein." Zehan said in a weak voice. Dilshad and Zainab stood shocked at the revelation.
Confused regarding the Precap? Haha ! Trust me this was in my mind since the very beginning, but could never put it up! So..For me , it's like FINALLY! And think about the special announcement as well ! 😉 Guess...What could it be? 😛
Leave your feedbacks ! 😛
