Hello! I know you guys probably hate me for the cliffy haha...but here I am with the next chapter as a peace treaty! Here you goooo!
Lost Without You
Chapter 6:A Stolen Kiss So Out Of Place
"Kiss me."
"WHAT?!"
"I said kiss me." He clarified again, his eyes darting towards Tanveer peeking in through the glass window on the door.
"You- what-" Zoya didn't even know how to respond to the tempting command. She wanted to, yet she didn't. "Who the heck do you think you are?!" She settled with the sentence.
"Just- come here," Asad said hurriedly and before Zoya could even retaliate, she was pulled into his chest by her waist and his lips were against hers.
Heaven. Asad could swear he saw stars the moment his lips touched hers. All the causes, all the tricks, and plays went out the window when he kissed her. He forgot all about a seething Tanveer watching through the glass as he tasted her mercilessly. He forgot that he was only trying to get Zoya into bed and that he was just using her.
Holy shit. Zoya was taken aback by the sudden contact, but melted into his arms when she felt his lips devour hers as no one had ever done before. Not even Farhan.
Zoyaâs eyes snapped open, she realized what was happening and started retreating. Asad too came out of his dreams when he felt Zoya retreat, but, wanting to get her into bed, he pressed his lips more firmly against hers and traced her lower lip with his tongue. Zoya closed her eyes involuntarily, she couldnât deny the amount of pleasure coursing through her. He nipped at Zoyaâs lower lip and placed his lips on hers again while his tongue found entry into her reluctant mouth and probed around hungrily. She clutched onto his muscular shoulders, helpless, and responded to his hot kisses feverishly, mentally giving in to admit that she did desire him, so subtly yet so irrevocably. She never thought that sheâd be willing to go this far, but right now, all she wanted was to forget. Forget about her hurts, her anguish, and her incurable guilt. Right now the only thing she needed was someone to make her feel loved, be it only by physicality.
âYouâre so hotâŚâ Asad groaned and bent down to ravish her neck. His lips trailed down the column of her throat and he placed hot open-mouthed kisses between her shoulder and her neck.
âYouâre so hotâŚâ
The three words acted like a chain that yanked Zoya out of her trance. What was wrong with her? She didnât even know the guy and she was letting him have his wicked way with her!
What the hell is wrong with you Zoya?! You know heâs using you, you know heâll leave you the moment he gets what he wants. You canât do this to yourself again! Youâve dated a few pretty great men, but they all left you when they were âsatisfiedâ. Stay strong for Godâs sake! Tell him what you think!
Like a lightning bolt striking, she shoved him off of her. Asad staggered back, clearly vexed by the sudden motion. Things werenât going his way, and he didnât like it. Not one bit. His anger started ticking.
âWhat the heck Zoya?â He growled, not realizing how much of a jerk he sounded like.
âZoya? Itâs Miss Farooqui to you, Mr. Khan.â Zoya snapped coldly, raising her defenses.
âWhat?! What the heckâs wrong with you, we f**king kissed right now!â
"Yeah, which wasn't supposed to happen! I'm just your Senior graphic designer, I'm not one of those bimbos that you take a liking in screwing!" Zoya argued and turned to walk out the door, Asad grabbed her retreating wrist and pulled her into his chest again. She tried pushing his chest away but it wouldn't budge!
"You know I want you right?" He bent down and whispered in her ear huskily before taking her earlobe between his teeth. Zoya's chest heaved but she aggressively pushed him away again.
"Yeah, just like you 'wanted' every woman you f**ked," Zoya said venomously and walked out of the balcony. Asad just stood there dumbstruck. He was unable to believe what had just transpired. A myriad of thoughts was whizzing through his mind. Why wasnât he moving on? Usually, if a woman rejected him, which rarely happened, he would just forget about it and move on! The second a woman would say she didnât want to âgo so fastâ or she wanted more than a night, he would dump them out of his bedroom and go to work the next day as if nothing had even happened. The same women would nevertheless follow him around like lost puppies. But Zoya, why did he still want her? Why was she starring in his dreams as no woman had ever done before?
Because you like her.
Asad almost collapsed upon realization. He liked her. He liked being around her, listening to her melodious voice, watching her smile and see those dimples grace her cheeks, her constant references to sci-fi movies, her simplicity. He liked it, he liked it all.
Asad didnât know it, but a small smile tugged at his lips. A genuine, true, smile of happiness he hadnât experienced in years.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Zoya sat on a barstool, waiting for her order of a Long Island Iced-Tea and trying to figure out what the hell had just happened when she heard it.
âYes, sheâs currently Asad Ahmed Khanâs Assistant. Doing pretty well tooâŚâ Came a voice from behind her. The shrewdness, cold, the mere lack of any compassion sent chills down her spine. She dared not turn around. The bartender kept the Iced-Tea in front of her and strode away, she gingerly lifted the glass with shivering hands and took the straw between her lips. She sipped the ice-cold drink trying not to just slam the damned glass down and run away, far away.
âYes, Iâve been thinking about striking a deal with the so-called âAAKâ quite soon. â
âWhat do you mean to profit from such a deal? Arenât you a businessman in the oil industry? AAK is in constructionsâŚâ countered another voice that Zoya recognized as Farhanâs.
âWell actually- excuse me Iâve to call my wife. Razia darling! Do come here, look whoâs eager to meet you.â His voice floated past her to Razia, who was talking to Anisha. She smiled shrewdly and went on towards Gaffur, where Farhan was eager to talk to her.
âHello Mrs. Siddiqui, guess what! Iâve got some news for you.â Farhan drawled.
No no please noâŚdonât tell her that-
âYouâll never guess whom I just met a while ago.â He said with a tone of victory lining his voice.
âWho Farhan? Was it Asad Ahmed Khan?â Razia asked earnestly, she would do anything for her daughter to get married to that asshole. Zoya internally smirked. It would be perfect. Playboy Asad Ahmed Khan and his very own bimbo Tanveer Siddique. Both of them could benefit from the other!
On second thought, Tanveer would benefit a LOT more. Sheâd get to run her hands all over that sexy chest of his.
HOLY CRAP WHAT THE HELLâS WRONG WITH ME.
âWell, yes. But this is more about his date.â He said. Zoyaâs mind dropped back down at the sentence.
âHe got a date? HowâŚâ
âBefore you get angry, Iâve got better news. His date was Z-â
âOhhh there you are! Abbuâs curious about you, you know.â Tanveer deliberately said, loudly, as she walked to her father and hugged him. Zoya whirled around to see her father looking at her with utmost hatred. Her hands suddenly felt clammy and her palms started sweating, her whole world, which she had so carefully built was moments away from crashing down.
âZoya! HowâŚnice to see you here.â He said with a disgusted expression on his wrinkling face. Zoyaâs eyes started stinging, her throat was feeling like it was on fire, she tried nodding but she just couldnât move.
âTanu beta, what is she doing here?â Razia murmured into Tanveerâs ear, loud enough for Zoya to hear. Tanveer looked at Zoya smugly and turned to her Ammi.
âShe forgot something, a certain amount of things I wanted from her.â
Raziaâs face molded into a horrible smirk as she understood what Tanveer meant. âOh did she now? For that...she'll have to be punished." Razia said looking at Gaffur, who looked like he was ready to kill Zoya. Gaffur bobbed a brow and cocked his head to one side, still looking at Zoya without any kind of mercy. Zoya swallowed down a lump in her throat and stepped off the barstool, forgetting to take her drink along. She tried to walk out of the ongoing conversation but was stopped by Farhan's sturdy body.
"And where do you think you're going?" He looked at her with mock pity. Zoya shook her head in fear.
"L-let me go. Please." She said looking into Farhan's bluish-grey eyes that she once loved. "I need to go home."
"Why? The party's just started, sweetheart."
"Don't. Don't call me that." Zoya said coldly, slowly building a wall around herself again.
"Why not? You've grown sexier over the years, I wouldn't stop myself before getting busy with you..." He drawled.
"You disgusting little-"
"Ah ah ah! You better watch your mouth in front of your father darling! He's planning to strike a deal a certain someone." Farhan said his eyes darting towards Asad, who had clearly forgotten what had transpired minutes ago as he had two dainty women hanging from his arms. He was talking to a fellow businessman while the women ran their hands seductively across his back and his chest, one was even nipping and licking at his ear. Zoya's hatred for the man just increased by ten! She wanted to slap him across the face while kicking the hoes by his side!
You know what, f**k you Asad Ahmed Khan. F**k you. Heartless playboy asshole...
"Why would I care?" She shrugged and moved past Farhan to the main door of the farmhouse. He was staggered by her sudden confidence, this he stood rooted to his spot like a statue.
Zoya had had enough of this crap. Why would anyone stay at a party where you hate everyone? Shaking her head, she walked out into the cool night air and went down the slightly busy street. The events of today were enough to make her just shut down and act like a robot. She was too tired, too fatigued, and too pissed to deal with any kind of shit right now. She didn't even notice Asad's voice calling out her name in the huge hall of the house, Zoya held a limp hand out for a taxi and got in before telling the driver her address.
"Zoya!" Asad yelled outside the house, where was she? After the earth-shattering kiss they shared, she'd just disappeared! Asad decided to call her and see if she picked up, which he was sure she wouldn't do. Nevertheless, he dialed her number and held the phone to his ear.
In the taxi, Zoya's phone ringing woke her up. Asad had taken her pretty far from home, and it was taking a while for them to reach. She saw his name flash on the screen, rejected the call, and fell back to sleep.
Ping!
Zoya heard something from her phone, it might just be a notification, she thought.
Ping!
Ping!
Irritated by the rings, she huffed and grabbed her phone. Only to find messages from Asad piling up in it.
Asad:- Where are you?
Asad:- Answer me damn it!
Asad:- Zoya!
Asad:- WHERE ARE YOU????
Asad:- I can't find you anywhere in the hall...
Asad:- ZOYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Zoya nearly laughed out loud at the way he'd typed but got solemn almost instantly when she remembered what had happened. Huffing, she typed out a message just to shut him up.
Zoya:- I'm in a taxi rn, I'm going home.
Asad: What?! Why????
Zoya:- Because I wanted to now shut up!
Zoya saw the 3 dots on her screen that said he was 'typing', but soon they disappeared and she furrowed her brows. Her doubt was cleared instantly when her phone rang and Asad's name flashed on her screen. She picked it in up annoyance and held it to her ear.
"What do you want Mr. Khan?" She asked irritably.
"Why did you leave without telling me?" His husky voice made its way to her ears. Somehow that low, husky voice of his still managed to affect her, even over the phone. Her stomach did somersaults as he called her name to confirm if she was listening. "Zoy- Miss Farooqui?"
Zoya regained herself and said haughtily, "Because you were too busy with your beloved hoes. Now if you'll excuse me I need to get off the taxi." Zoya got to put one foot out of the taxi and paused hearing his voice.
"Jealous, are we?" He asked smugly. Zoya gasped aloud at his accusation and quickly paid the driver before getting out of the car.
"F**k you Mr. Khan." She swore in the most kindest voice she could feign, not caring that she was working in his office!
"I hope you do." He retaliated. Zoya got confused in her wrath.
"Do what?" She asked frowning.
"F**k me..." Asad whispered huskily into the phone, sending shivers of unwanted pleasure down her body. She blushed, unknowingly.
"URGH!" Zoya screeched into the phone and cut the call.
ASSHOLE AHMED KHAN!
On the other hand, Asad chuckled at her antics and stared into the dim skyline of New York. He sighed.
She drives me crazy.
