Their Accidental Love

CHAPTER 15

KARTIK'S POV:

The shower was soothing, it relaxed my muscles and I was feeling less tired now. As I exited the washroom I saw Zoya standing right in front of the closet. She was probably searching for the passport bag and had found it.

Her eyes widened in shock, I was also aghasted to see her but the thing which relieved me the most was, thanks to Almighty that I haven't thrown my towel randomly across the room this time, it is the usual habit of mine, I know it's a bad one.

By first look at her face I knew Zoya wasn't expecting this but I guess she likes what she sees. Hmm not bad Ms. Khan. She stood there having a good look but suddenly she came out of her trance and ran mumbling a 'sorry'.

And I was shocked at my behavior, my shameless self was enjoying her reaction and now laughing and blushing after the thankful lady ran away. Wtf is happening! I haven't enjoyed female attention like that before.

...............

After all the hustle and bustle we reached on time and got seated, finally. As I looked to my left, one look at Zoya's face and I instantly knew that she was still embarrassed from our previous encounter.

Well, I guess it's normal for her to feel awkward it's not like you daily see half naked men. I should do something to make her comfortable else of how much I know her it'll take forever for the awkward memory to be erased and she'll continue to overthink it.

My thoughts were interrupted by the announcement for take off, yeahh now is the perfect time. I asked for her permission, before fastening her seat belt.

As the plane started taking off, she closed her eyes and fisted her hands tightly. I took her right hand in a gentle grip and place my other hand on her shoulder, squeezing gently.

I felt her body tense at my touch and then she relaxed, her shoulders slumped and she opened her fists slowly. Once we were in the air, I withdrew my hands and sat comfortably in my seat. From the corner of my eye I can see her staring at me but I pretended to be unaware.

It was late at night when we landed almost 3, everyone was tired and exhausted so we went straight to the hotel from airport.

Just when I thought the day couldn't get anymore eventful I was proved wrong. I had booked 3 separate rooms for ourselves but according to the staff the reservation was only for 2. Rest of the rooms were already occupied due to new year and they only had a suite available.

The hotel was a luxurious one and located at a prime location of London. Also it was very late at night and most probably rest of the hotels would also be occupied. So we decided to settle for a suite and a room.

Mom, dad were staying in the room and Me, Kittu and Zoya were settled in suite. Thankfully, it had two separate bedrooms including separate bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room. As I wandered around the room, it also had a terrace with a private pool.

We arranged our luggage in our respective rooms and after bidding good night retired to bed. Although I couldn't sleep but I was feeling worn out and exhausted it was a long, hectic day. I so wanted to go to the pool side and dip my feet in the water but my body ached thus I kept laying and staring at the ceiling.

ZOYA'S POV:

After an awkward flight, we had an issue at the hotel too. The suite was quite luxurious I must say, it was like an apartment. The private pool fascinated me the most. Me and Kittu can finally enjoy without any hesitation and public attention.

When I walked out of the restroom after changing, Kittu was busy connecting wifi. After continuous hustle she was finally able to connect it. She quickly did the changes in my mobile also and we laid switching off the lights.

.............

I woke up early today, I couldn't sleep properly probably due to change in place and that London was more cold and wintery as compared to Paris. I quickly freshened up as I walked past the living room, I saw Kartik standing by the pool lost in his thoughts.

A sudden mischievous idea came to my mind, I tiptoed to the terrace without making a sound. As I neared him I pushed him in the pool. Kartik was astounded by the act that he couldn't even swim to the surface.

Seeing him struggling, I was horrified by the idea that what if he didn't know swimming. Feeling guilty and remorseful I also jumped in the pool without wasting a second. The water wasn't that cold probably due to the day time.

The pool was huge as I searched for Kartik underwater, I heard him laughing behind me. So I pranked him and he was quick to take revenge on me. Cool! Tiwari Ji. I swimmed to his side both of us laughing madly.

"Sorry! I didn't want to push you but spotting you just on the edge of pool, I couldn't control myself."

"Yeah and I am sorry too Zoya, I also didn't want you to jump after me in the pool but I loved the worried and guilty look on your face." He said grinning.

"So you enjoy making people worried for you. Huh! Not so cool Tiwari ji."

"Not everyone but some specific and special ones." He said, staring right into my eyes. There was something in that look I couldn't comprehend.

"I see. Well, come on then let's have a race and see who wins. The looser has to give a treat."

" Sounds good."

We swimmed to one corner of the pool and counting till 3, we started to swim towards other end.

Sadly, Kartik was faster than me and I had to win the race. Another mischievous idea stroked my mind. What's with all these tricks Zoya?

Before Kartik could swim any far from me and closer to the end I tucked my right leg into his left, making him stumble and losing his balance but that wasn't as smart as I thought cause I also stumbled and we both fell down inside the pool. Wtf.

Kartik quickly helped himself up and me also. Wow. I had read somewhere that:

A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else.

And this saying can be perfectly applied for Kartik. His patience is admirable.

"You cheater! I wasn't expecting that from you, Zoya. You disappointed me" he said with a serious face, I lowered my face instantly, feeling guilty, humiliated and what not. Just then I heard Kartik laughing, not just normal laughing, he was laughing like a mad man.

" God Zoya you got serious, you should have looked at your face man!!" Still laughing.

"Yeah, yeah would you please stop laughing now."

"No I think I'll still laugh even after years when I'll remember this incident and your face."

"You'll remember me after years?" I asked him seriously. Kartik also got serious all of a sudden. He looked at me profoundly. For a while, we both were lost staring at each other.

"I will never have to remember you, cause you aren't going anywhere. You are going to stay with me, with us for years, forever." He said looking straight into my eyes, his words held some sort of promise and I was contented with his words.

We both got out of the pool and left for our respective rooms to change. And surprisingly we didn't talk throughout after that conversation, just passed a small smile to each other as if words weren't needed anymore.
