Four is the new two

Chapter 20

Jay woke up after 5-6 hours. Alia & Sejal had already woken up and gone out somewhere. He went for a nice long shower and came out wearing just a towel and shirt. While he was buttoning up, Ridima jumped on his sight. 

"Wait!" - Ridima

She came closer staring at his abs.

"Wow you do have nice abs!" - Ridima

"Umm.. thanks!" - Jay

"Remove the shirt and go near that bed." - Ridima

"What?" - Jay

"Just do it. Fast." - Ridima

"Okay.."

Jay removed the shirt and walked towards Ridima's bunk bed.. Suddenly she hugged him from behind and turned him around to face her.. She smiled at him biting her lips and pushed her tongue inside his mouth! He was taken aback, but soon forgot everything as her tongue started exploring his mouth. He sucked on her tender pink lips as she pulled him closer. She kissed him harder wrapping her arms around his neck.. he was engulfed in the beautiful smell of her body.. suddenly she broke the kiss and said,

"Kiss my neck.." 

He kissed her smooth neck softly and she felt goosebumps.. she pressed his face harder on her neck and squeezed his butt with one hand.

"Wow you're full of surprises!" - Jay

"Okay that's enough I guess." - Ridima turned his face up again..

"What do you-

"Zoya is sitting in common room. She can see us." - Ridima

"Oh.. so this is the plan?" - Jay

"Yes. Apparently Alia says that Zoya has been a serial cheater throughout college, and what tempts her most, is a forbidden fruit. So if she finds you hot and knows you're taken already, She will want you even more." - Ridima

"Wait really? THIS is Alia's plan?" - Jay

"Yes and I believe in it because when we were kissing, she couldn't take her eyes off us even for a second!" - Ridima smiled at him. 

"Well.. thanks a lot. That's really generous of you to play a part in this.. whatever this is. But for a moment I felt this kiss meant something to you." - Jay made a sad puppy face.

"It did honey.. I can't wait for your desperate attempts to get laid, to stop. Honestly, it's quite sad to watch." - Ridima 

"Alright. One last kiss to ensure success?" - Jay

"Sure.. a small one." - Ridima

"Long one with one ass squeeze." - Jay

"Small one with no ass squeeze." - Ridima

"Small one with one ass squeeze and one hickey." - Jay

"Small one. One ass squeeze. No hickey." - Ridima.

"Deal." - He said, and kissed her again.. while his hands squeezed her butts.

"Okay enough. Not get dressed. Go out. Sit with her. Be casual." - Ridima.

"Relax. I got this from here." - Jay winked.

"Hey... what's up?" - Jay said, sitting next to Zoya. 

"Hey.. Not much. I'm just waiting for some friends." - Zoya

"You mean right now or in life?" - Jay

Zoya rolled her eyes..

"Good to know the quality of your jokes hasn't got better." - Zoya

"Well when you find someone who understands them, you don't need to change the quality." - Jay

"Right. I'm glad I never understood them." - Zoya

"Where are you off to?" - Jay

"Heading to Kashmir tomorrow. You?" - Zoya

"Not sure. Wherever Alia takes us." - Jay

"Oh yes. She was telling me earlier how 'excited' you were for this roadtrip." - Zoya

"Well you know me. I never liked roadtrips much. But Ridima agreed to join us last minute and made this trip sufferable." - Jay

"Ridima?" - Zoya

"My girlfriend." - Jay

"Oh right. The girl who was so obviously trying to show off her trophy boyfriend 5 minutes back." - Zoya

"Well boyfriends with such abs are worth showing off." - Jay smiled.

"That was a specific position though.. almost looked as if she wanted me to see it." - Zoya

"You know how it is. Maybe she wanted to mark her territory. Maybe she was threatened by the presence of my ex." - Jay

"Aww poor thing. Did you tell her you're not into me?" - Zoya

"Nope. I told her Zoya's into Alia. That relaxed her." - Jay

Zoya stopped talking. She didn't know what to say.

"Relax. I always knew." - Jay

"Knew what?" - Zoya

"That you went behind my back and made out with Alia." - Jay

"Hmm.. I would have said sorry but then we had only shared one kiss. We were not really serious right?" - Zoya

"I was." - Jay said.

Zoya stared into his eyes for a moment. Then looked away. 

"Well.. I am sorry." - Zoya said looking down.

"It's alright. It took a long time, but I learnt to live with it. But subconsciously.. you never really move on. You just try to find someone who reminds you of the same person again. I kept dating girls who looked like you, laughed like you, had hair like you.. and so on. You don't know it, but it happens." - Jay

Zoya kept staring at her hands... Not knowing what to say.

"Sorry that was too much information." - Jay

"No it's.. alright. I'm glad you told me. Maybe it helps you get some closure. For me honestly it was just a phase. But I wouldn't say it was any less important or less authentic. For those days, in those moments, it was very honest and pure. And you were a big highlight of those days for me. " - Zoya said smiling at him. 

"That's sweet to know. After all this time." - Jay said.. and he leaned ahead and gave a quick kiss on her shoulder. She laughed. 

"I remember this. This is how our first kiss started." - Zoya laughed.

"First and only." - Jay

"Well if you count the shoulder kisses we had 3 kisses." - Zoya 

"4th one today." - Jay.

"Let me make it a round figure." - Zoya said and she gave a quick kiss on his shoulder. 

"You really don't know how to make it a round figure!" - Jay said and kissed her on cheek.

Zoya didn't say anything. Jay bit his tongue. He probably went too far. He shrugged.

"Anyway. Where are you going after Kashmir?" - Jay changed the topic.
