It's better to be here and there..!

When I was preparing breakfast I heard a girl's voice. A certain someone whose voice I can never forget - Jannat Barlow.

What is she doing here? It's Sunday for God's sake.

"Where is Zayden?" She asked walking inside kitchen.

"Sleeping" I mutter uninterestingly.

"Fine, I will wake him up."

And who is she to do that?

"No need" I said instantly halting her footsteps. She turned around to face me. Both her eyebrows were pulled closer.

"Why?"

"I will wake him up," I answer walking past her. I might have allowed her to enter my kitchen but I would definitely not allow her to enter my bedroom.

"Zayden get up..." I mutter touching his arm.

He half opened his eyes and looked at the clock.

"It's only 8 in the morning and it's Sunday. Why did you wake me up so early?" he questioned rubbing his palm over his now closed eyes.

"Jannet is waiting for you downstairs." I fold my arms in front of my chest.

He halted his action and furrowed his brows, "What is she doing here?"

Whoa!

"I don't know. Go and ask." saying this I sauntered downstairs to find Alex in kitchen.

"Alex when did you come. And what are you doing here in kitchen?" I ask giving him a light smile.

"I was waiting for you cutie."

"Why?"

"C'mon let's cook together." He grasped my wrist and dragged me towards the counter. "What are we going to prepare now." He asked whilst forwarding an apron.

The girl who is going to marry Alex and gets his love is one hell of a lucky girl but unfortunately I can't be that girl cause the only person I like is my husband; no matter how badly he treats me. I like Alex too but it's nothing when compared to what I feel for Zayden.

"Hey what are you day dreaming about?" Alex snapped his fingers in front of my eyes breaking my reverie of thoughts.

"Huh? Nothing"

Alex was having fun while cooking and I was frowning all the time cause instead of helping me Alex was creating mess in the kitchen.

"Here Harriet taste this." Alex said.

"What is this?" I ask staring at the spoon. He prepared something by mixing some vegetables and every other spices he found in the kitchen and now he wants me to taste it?

I bat my eyelids already feeling sorry for myself.

"Just taste it already." He said pushing a spoon full of content into my mouth.

Just then we heard someone clearing their throat. Swallowing the content I look at Zayden who happened to looked pissed.

"Aww you guys are so cute. Zayden will you cook for me too." Jannet beamed wrapping her hand around Zayden's arm.

Can she stop touching my husband already?

"I don't know how to cook." Zayden replied shrugging.

"How is the taste cutie?" Alex asked grinning at me.

"Taste. Yeah it's actually good."

He leaned in planting a kiss on my cheek, "I knew you would like it." He said winking at me.

I turn my head to look at Zayden and his expression was worth watching. He looked as if he had seen a ghost. He gave Alex what-is-wrong-with-you look.

Wait is Zayden jealous now?

"Even I want to taste." Jannet chirped, I took few steps backwards giving her space. She can eat how much ever she wants, all that matters is her staying away from Zayden.

"Harriet come with me." Zayden said gesturing me to follow him.

"Why?" Alex questioned

"I am not finding one of my shirt." Zayden answered walking out.

As we entered the room, Zayden closed the door behind us.

"Which shirt did you not find?" I ask sliding the door of closet.

"Navy blue." He replied

I look in the second compartment cause I knew where I had kept all my favourite shirts.

Zayden looks damn hot when he wears navy blue shirt.

But what confused me was the fact that navy blue shirt was right in front of my eyes.

Did he even check the closet?

"It's right here. Did you even check?" I ask pulling the shirt out and turned around only to find Zayden standing right behind me.

"Nope," he answered. "I called you here because I want to tell you something." He grasped my hand and walked out of closet.

Picking up the tissue paper which was on reading table he brought it closer to my face.

I scrunch my nose whilst moving my face back. "Don't move back." He said grasping my arm and jerking my body forwards.

"What are you doing?" I ask when he starts rubbing my cheek. I wasn't wearing wakeup. Did Alex smear something on my face?

Zayden didn't reply, after rubbing my cheek few more times he scrutinized my cheek by turning my face to other side.

"Done" He huffed and then threw the tissue in dustbin. I bat my eyelids in confusion.

"You know why I allowed you to date Alex?"

"Huh?" I stare at him with my mouth slightly opened. What is he saying?

"There are few conditions I didn't tell you earlier... First I am giving you space to think about your feeling but you are still my wife. So, no touching, no hugging and definitely no kissing." He said with serious face.

Wait!!!! Is he jealous?

Did he wipe my cheek cause Alex kissed me?

"Are you by any chance jealous?" I question trying to not burst into laughter.

This is the first time I am seeing this side of Zayden. He looked bothered. Why? Cause Alex kissed my cheek.

"Jealous? Nah." He cleared his throat and turned around.

I couldn't help but grin ear to ear.

God he is so cute.

"Then it's okay if Alex kisses me right?" I ask. Zayden swirls around and stares at me with his brows pulled together.

"Seriously?"

"Mm-hmm. Jannet also kissed you right." I state shrugging.

"All you want is a kiss?" he asks baffled.

Finally I'm seeing Zayden react otherwise all I get to see is his cold ice king expression.

"It's not like that. If you allow Jannet to kiss you, I won't stop Alex too. So this kiss and other things are entirely dependent on you."

"Okay"

"I'll keep this shirt back then." I walk into the closet and place the shirt back and turn around only to jump placing my hand on my racing heart.

Why does he have to scare me every time.

Before I could speak he took another step closer to me, entering my personal space and caging me. And just like that atmosphere around us was unfurled with tension. The look in his eyes was intense making my inside churn with nervousness.

He placed one of his hand above my head while I peer at him with wide eyes. He leaned closer making my heart thump against my chest. My breathing came out ragged. My nostrils were welcomed by his manly scent, I dug my nails into my palm still staring at Zayaan.

Dropping his head, he brought his lips closer to my face. His hot breath fanning my face, I couldn't believe this was happening. All of this felt like a dream.

When his lips grazed against my cheek I closed my eyes shut clenching my fist. Zayden placed a soft kiss at the corner of my mouth while an overwhelming feelings burst through my veins. Butterflies did summersault in my stomach. His lips lingered there for a second and then he pulled away.

"You don't need a kiss from anyone." He muttered roaming his eyes all over my face.

I could feel my cheeks burning. Pushing a rogue strand of hair behind my ear he walked out leaving me breathless.

What just happened?

I plop on bed feeling my erratic heartbeat. I sat there for few minutes cause I needed it to calm my senses.

After some time I went out to see Zayden and Alex placing food on dinner table. For the first time I was watching Zayden do work.

Jannet and Alex were sitting opposite to each other leaving one space next to them. Zayden padded towards the dinner table with water mug in his hand. The moment his gaze landed on me a tint of red creeped along my cheeks. I avert my gaze away from him feeling nervous.

I made my way towards Alex but before I could take my seat, Zayden plopped down next to Alex leaving me no choice but to take seat next to Jannet.

"Why don't we go out somewhere." Jannet suggested.

"Yeah." Alex agreed turning towards Zayden he asked, "Care race?"

Zayden gave him a curt nod.

I changed into something comfortable and walked out to find two cars. Alex was seated in white car and Zayden in black one.

"Cutie, C'mon get inside..." Alex called out. I went and sat next to Alex.

"If I win I get your dad's sexy Lamborghini for a week..." Alex shouted challenging Zayden.

"Anyways you are going to lose." Zayden smirked making me stare at him in awe.

"Not today buddy. My lady charm is here with me." Alex laughed making me blush.

"Let's see."

Jannet clapped her hands gaining our attention. "I know you will win this baby..." She gushed leaning closer to Zayden and planting a kiss on his cheek.

Baby? Ew!

Zayden looked shocked. His eyes slowly trailed in my direction, his face expression was analogous to a child who had been caught while stealing. I raised one of my brow staring at him.

What happened to no touching, no hugging and definitely no kissing policy?

He better have proper explanation to this. I rolled my eyes and turn my face to look at Alex.

Raising a gush of wind the cars roared to life. Alex hit the accelerator leaving Zayden behind. Thank God I had the seat belt on or else I would have hit my head for sure. With every second, the speed was increasing making my eyes go wide.

To my horror Alex diverted the car towards narrow and steep hilly roads making me gulp.

Every time he took a sharp turn I held my breath. It felt like he would drive the car off the hill. I was muttering prayers constantly.

Who races in area like this ?

"So are you enjoying?" Alex screamed.

He is joking right?

"I'm praying to God. I don't want to die so early Alex." I said and screamed when the back wheel of the car almost went off the road.

"It's thrilling..." he laughed at me. "Look there." He pointed in front.

I turn my head to look at the front, it was cliff ending. And judging by the car speed it would be next to impossible to stop the car cause we were literally few meters away from it.

"Alex, it's dead end." I panicked, my voice quivering.

"Chill I know the trick." He winked.

A roar erupted from next to the car, I snap my head in the direction of noise to find Zayden's car next to us.

I watched as Zayden's car smoothly came right next to us. I had my eyes glued to Zayden when he averted his gaze at me.

We kept peering at each other for few second and then a midget smile laced his face. Batting his eyes once he turned his gaze to look at the front and in no second I found his car moving past ours raising another vast gust of wind.

I was brought out of dream world when Alex applied brakes. The car turned one round with its wheels scraping the ground and then came to halt causing a round pattern to appear on land.

Massaging my temples and running finger over my hair I got down. My head was spinning and I promised myself to never sit in Alex car when he is racing.

Zayden and Alex car was facing one another with circled patterns on the ground.

"So how does it feel to lose again?" Zayden asked Alex.

"Whatever dude."

"It was fun though." Jannet piped in making me groan.

"Fun? You call this death wish a fun??" I huff leaning against the car.

Listening to my words Alex and Jannet were laughing while Zayden just stared at me with expressionless face.

We ambled at the edge of cliff looking down at the stream and greenery surrounding it when my shoe slipped.

For a second I found my whole life filming in front of my eyes. My mind went numb. I closed my eyes shut holding my breath.

I felt a hand grasping my arm and pulling me. When I opened my eyes I saw Alex and Zayden's face. I watched as their lips moved, their faces laced with nervousness.

I couldn't comprehend what they were saying, I looked around to find myself slumped on ground with Alex still holding me by my arm.

After a few minutes I finally came back to my senses. The shock was evident on my face. A shiver coursed down my spine with just the thought of me falling off the cliff.

"Are you okay? "Alex asked

I just gave him a light nod.

"She isn't okay. Let's head back home." Zayden said standing up.
