"Zain" someone shouted, he was struck out of his daze "Nalini, I will speak after my shoot is over"
She nodded "Best of luck"
Zain walked over to the director and listened to what he had to do, he walked over towards Aditi, she was pushing in her fake nose piercing, her hair was wavy, flowing down her back
He shook his head, trying to focus on the scene ahead

Zain placed Aditi down on the sandy beach, he placed his hands by her side when her eyes shot open, she kicked her leg up knocking him down and straddled his hips, he struggled to focus on what she was saying when their position was so intimate
"And cut, that was great, so intense" someone shouted
Aditi jumped up and outstretched her hand for Zain to take it
He placed his hand in hers and allowed her to tug him up

Aditi pulled her hand back up, when they heard "Aditi storm off angrily"
Zain couldnt seem to focus well, he shook his head and followed her through the trees
He wasnt sure what perfume she was wearing but it was intoxicating, she turned around nearly knocking him back slightly
"Why are you stood so close to me" she asked, raising her brow
Zain had no reply that wouldnt make him look like a creep so he rubbed his arms "Im cold, you have body heat"
Aditi shook her head and turned away

"Hey man" Gautam said as Zain threw himself down on a chair
"Hey" he said solemnly
"Whats up with you" Gautam asked, biting into his apple
Zain turned to the side slightly "You were there at that party saw the dance right"
Gautam nodded "Yeah man, it was great"
Zain nodded "But I dont know who I danced with and I know its my co-worker but I dont know who that is"

Gautam chuckled "You sound head over heels already"
Zain scowled at him, "Dont worry man, you wont get it"
"I know who you danced with, I wont tell you because she obviously wants to remain a secret but I could give you her number"
Zain turned back to face him "Man, you are great" he took the number, then paused
"What do I save it under"
Gautam tapped his chin "Desi Cinderella"
Zain smirked, saved it and muttered a "Perfect"

"What are you going to say, are you going to tell her who you are" asked Gautam
Zain shook his head "If she wants to stay hidden, so will I"
Gautam stood up, chucking his apple in the bin
"Youre playing a dangerous game my man"
He laughed "Oh she started it, I am merely returning the favour"
Gautam shook his head and walked out of the room
Zain typed out his first message and pressed the send button

Aditi bit into her sandwich when her phone buzzed beside her, she brushed her hands together then picked up her phone, her blood running cold at the message
Hi dance partner
Aditi typed back a quick message Who is this?
The reply was almost simultaneous I dont feel the need to reply to that question, since you refused to tell me who you were that night

Aditi stood up, looking around, nearly everyone was on their phone and she didnt want to try and find out whos number it was because then everyone would know she was the dancer
What do you want from me? She typed back
I just want to get to know you, is that so bad?
Aditi scrunched up her face Yes it is, she looked back down reading the reply
Why she read the reply out loud, rolling her eyes

Because I have a boyfriend, you need to just let that night go she wrote quickly, she was single but they didnt know that
Oh my desi cinderella, all I want is to be your friend
Well I dont want to be yours she sent straight back
Dont call me that she sent straight after, tapping her nails on the table, why were they taking so long to reply?

What should I call you then, maybe your name?
Aditi clenched her fist Im not telling you my name, how do you have my number?
I have my ways, desi cinderella it is, I can shorten it to DC if you like? A mutual friend!
Aditi pursed her lips, only Nalini and Gautam had her number, could Gautam be the man she danced with that night?
She wasnt previously bothered about the dance, for her it was merely a moment of the past, but clearly, she was wrong
What do I have to do to make you leave me alone? She asked
Zain smirked down at the message

Bore me he replied, locking his phone he slid it into his pocket and returned to shoot!
