Zoya bit her bottom lip nervously, she didnt cook often, more like she couldnt cook at all.
She walked to the kitchen slowly and looked around for the recipe book her mother had gifted her, she found it and quickly skipped through it in hopes of finding something quick and easy to make.
She decided on a dish and got to work.

Aditya licked his lips, turning back to face Zoya "Its good, really good, thanks"
He stood up slowly and went to sit on the sofa, Zoya took the plate out and placed it in the sink.
She leaned against the sideboard, trying to think of what to do, she promised Aditya she would not talk and even if she could she still would not know what to say.

"Cat got your tounge" Aditya asked, leaning his right shoulder against the arch of the wall. His hands firmly placed in his pockets.
He stopped, chuckling "Oh right, you said you wouldn't talk, go on, I dont mind, I get tired of hearing my own voice sometimes"
Zoya held out her hand, Aditya frowned down at it "What"
"Friends" she whispered
Aditya laughed darkly "Oh Zoya, I dont want to be your friend"

He stepped closer, towering over her "I want to be your lover" he winked "but, if you wanna be my lover" he pointed to his chest "You gotta get with my friends, make it last forever, friendship never ends"
Zoya looked up at Aditya like he was crazy, he chuckled and stood back "Look Zoya, if you want to be my friend, you have to laugh at my jokes"
Zoya smiled slightly, she jumped as Aditya shook her hand, his eyes met hers "Friends"

Zoya pulled her hand away "You can sleep on the bed, if you like"
Aditya nodded and stepped back "Show me where"
Zoya walked infront of him and pushed the bedroom door open, a rock led on the bed.
Zoya stepped forward and grabbed it, unwrapping the paper around it 'Adi is mine, was mine and will always be mine, stay away if you value your life'

"What does it say" asked Aditya, stepping closer to her so he could read it over her shoulder.
Aditya's phone buzzed in his pocket, he grabbed it and opened it.
"Its a voice clip" he muttered, confused
He pressed play and they both jumped back at the loud music 'Are you alone now, can you hear me, are you alone now, are you alone now, do you fear me, are you alone now, can you hear me breathing in and out and in'

Zoya covered her ears "Turn it off, turn it off"
Aditya locked his phone and held his hand out for the note
He read it, his brows furrowed, "Who could possibly leave this"
Zoya fell back against the door, holding her head "The killer"
Aditya looked up "But why would I only be theirs"
Zoya stood up shakily "I dont know, but that could explain why they killed Pooja and Yash, see I knew they didnt cheat you"

Aditya slapped his head "Please, dont start this again"
"You have to accept that its a possibility" she cried, she yearned for him to accept what she said, mostly because then maybe she was right
Aditya shook his head "We cant stay here"
"Well then where are we going"
Aditya held up the letter, pointing to the stamp of a hotel
"We're going to Rome, to hotel Suitesistina, that's where this letter came from so thats where this person is or was"

"How are we going to get a flight"
Aditya shook his head "I fly, I can easily get us on a plane, use your head sometimes"
"But, should you be flying in this condition"
Aditya rested his hand on his heart "Aw, didnt know you cared, now go and pack"

"2 single rooms please" said Aditya
The woman looked up, "Ciao, we only have double rooms"
Zoya gulped "Do those rooms have sofas"
The woman raised her brow "Why would you need a sofa, this is the hotel for lovers, you are lovers, right"
Zoya went to speak when she felt Aditya's arm wound around her waist, tugging her closer
"Yes, my wife and I have argued thats all, but I am sure we will be fine, any room will do"

Zoya went to say something and Aditya raised his hand covering her mouth
The woman looked up confused, he kissed over his hand making Zoya's eyes widen "She has tonsilitis"
Aditya took the room key and walked with Zoya towards the lift, when they got in the lift she shoved him away
"Badtameez"
"Zoya, we have to act like a couple or we cant stay here and we have to stay hete to see if the killer is here"

"Still, you didnt need to"
Aditya rolled his eyes " Your husband and my wife didnt need to cheat together, but they did, I didnt need to save you but I did, I didnt need to bring you with me but I did, the world is full of things we dont need to do"
He stormed out of the elevator as the doors opened leaving a sad Zoya trailing behind him

So, things have got a lot more interesting now! Zoya's life is in danger and the killer wants Aditya to be theirs! Please let me know your thoughts and guesses for what will happen next! Thanks for all the love!
