25. Outing

"Where are Deepika and Zayn?" Ujjala asked walking into the dining room for breakfast. The room was buzzing with various conversations going on around the table among the relatives.

"Probably still sleeping." Lilly shrugged as she ripped a small piece from her paratha. "I can go get them if you want."

"That'd be nice of you Lilly." Prakash smiled from the end of the table.

Lilly nodded and pushed back from the table to fetch the couple. She first went to Zayn's room and softly knocked on Zayn's door. After repeating the action a couple of more times and having no reply come from the other end, Lilly called for him. "Zayn? Are you in there?" With having no one answer her back, she sighed and processed upstairs to Deepika's door.

Once she arrived at the last door on the end of the hall, she again knocked softly on the wood. Receiving the same results, she decided to step inside. Lilly went to grab the doorknob but it was suddenly pulled away from her as the door burst open. Behind it stood Deepika with messy hair dressed in her pajamas.

Lilly heard a loud thud from inside the room which made her curious. But Deepika's nervous expression which was evident by her reddened cheeks made her more curious. "Morning." she smirked.

"Good morning." Deepika smiled combing her hair back with her fingers.

"Whatcha been up to?"

"Nothing. Just woke up after you knocked."

"Uh huh..." Lilly nodded with a huge grin pasted on her lips which earned her a quizzical look from her cousin. "Do you know where I can find your boyfriend? He has to come down for breakfast. Same with you."

"I- I don't know where he is."

"Oh God Deeps, don't even attempt to lie." Lilly laughed. "He's in there, isn't he?"

Deepika stood still with her cheeks flushing more with color. "H- how did you know?"

"His shirt is on the floor." Lilly cocked her head towards the article of clothing on the floor beside the bed. "Zayn, you can come out! I won't tell anyone."

Zayn's head slowly rose from behind the bed. He had a sheepish smile on which made Lilly laugh and shake her head.

"You guys are so cute. Well anyway I'll see you downstairs Deepika." Lilly pulled the door behind her closing it as she walked away.

Deepika continued to stand in front of the door in a stunned state. Curious as to what happened, Zayn came around the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist causing her to flinch.

"Hey babe, you ok?"

"Um yeah I'm fine. I'm just paranoid about being caught." Deepika stood stiffly within Zayn's embrace

"Oh right, you're your parents' innocent daughter." he pushed aside her hair and began to kiss her neck. "And how's that going, huh?"

Deepika went limp the moment Zayn's lips touched her skin. She fell back into him closing her eyes. But soon after her eyes opened again and she swiftly turned around. "Stop that."

"But you enjoyed it." he smirked.

Deepika rolled her eyes and softly chuckled. "Can you please control yourself until we're here?"

"My shirt ended up there because of your request last night or else we would've been good." he pulled her closer gently squeezing her.

"You started it." she giggled as she poked him on his bare chest. "And if we don't hurry downstairs, everyone will start to assume things."
