"Nah Shivaay it's a bad idea" he said to himself again " It's actually a very bad idea and trust me you are gonna regret it , "and what if you get caught just think Shivaay what would she think about you" he countered his own mind " but I'm just gonna write it and then probably hide it no tear it yaa I can do that , I can do that " keeping all his thoughts aside he threw his duvet , getting up from the bed he immideately took out a pen and a paper and made himself comfortable on his desk and picked up the pen " no Shivaay , I don't think you should do this , you're not doing this" he finally made up his mind and lied down on his bed again , trying not to think about her....

The next morning was a rather chirpy one , unlike the other mornings in the Oberoi mansion. Everyone was happy because finally Omkara had agreed to get married before his elder brother , to Gauri of course , but Shivaay was happy for two reasons , oh sorry three actually ,first was that he no longer had to get married to his childhood friend and live in akwardness for the rest of his life , second was that , he was happy that Omkara was getting married and last but not the least was that Annika didn't have to leave her job as his wedding planner because now she would plan his brother's wedding and he would get a reason to stay close to her , ohhh even the mere thought of being close to her could bring a giddy feeling in his stomach and increase his body heat , he so wanted to be close to her.....ohh god get a grip on your self Shivaay.

Suddenly Shivaay's body stiffened as the air around him thickend , his heart rate increased and his breath hichted , announcing her arrival , when would his body stop responding to her presence . He lifted his head from his laptop to catch a glimpse of her , when he caught her looking at him with her enchanting brown eyes , she wore a simple white embroidered knee length dress , and still managed to look breath taking in it , but something was missing thought Shivaay still staring in her eyes , there was a spark in her eyes which he saw yesterday , which was missing , she looked a little pale and sad , and he could do anything to see her smile , the same smile which he saw yesterday.

Later that night
Tommorow was Omkara's egagement and the whole mansion was busy in the preparations , every member of the family was running here and there completing errands . Shivaay on the other hand was roaming here and there, his eyes only looking for a certain person , he didn't even have a single encounter with her , inspite of being under the same roof , for the whole day , not even once did he got a chance to talk to her , to closely look at her features , to drown in her brown eyes , and this was making him mad , she had been super busy for the whole day , he let out a deep breath when finally his earnast eyes spotted her , sitting in a corner engrossed in writing something , she still looked a little gloomy thought Shivaay , her hair were now tied in a neat bun exposing the flawless skin of her neck , suddenly Shivaay had a certain urge to see how his lips would feel , moving , touching slowly sucking her skin there , he could feel his feet moving towards her , unconsciously , when he saw Dadi going towards her , he stopped midway . "Annika , it's been quite late I think you should leave , we would manage the rest " said Dadi very politely , keeping a hand on Annika's shoulder , " thank you Dadi , honestly even I was feeling quite tired " replied Annika with a tired smile on her face and started to pack her stuff up , " how do you usually go home ?" Annika looked up to face Dadi at her sudden question , and said "usually I take the bus.." she stopped in between as she saw Shivaay coming towards them , pretending to be busy on a phone call
How does this man manages to look this good every time you see him..was the first thought that striked her mind
Dadi glanced between her and Shivaay then passed a small smile and said " Billu come here" " yeah Dadi " he went towards them , almost running , " yes Dadi" he glanced at them with his alluring eyes " Billu go and drop Annika home , she is been working really hard all morning and I don't think she should take the bus at this hour, okay ? " She looked at Annika who was lost in her thoughts thinking that the bus would be safer than his car with him sitting at an arms distance from her . " what are you looking at Annika , and you Shivaay go take her it's an order okay now go you both" said dadi. Annika started toward the door closely followed by Shivaay.

He opened the car door for her which she thought was very gentlemanish to do , she quickly sat inside without keeping him waiting and closed the door shut . He moved towards his side of the door and sat down in silence .

The drive to her house was long and slow and the proximity between the two was more. She sat back and closed her eyes which indicated that she was in no mood to talk .Meanwhile Shivaay could not stop from stealing glances at her beautiful face with a few strands of hair teasing her face as the air was playing with them, ohh how his fingers ached to move on her face , crease her lips , open those long beautiful hair, her smell had already invaded his ability to think , now his car was also engulfed in her amazing scent......focus Shivaay don't look at her look at the road , God what is this girl doing to me, ughhh why did I agree to drop her , I sure am a jerk...
In that moment he took a wrong turn unconsciously and started heading towards the opposite direction from where they had to go. Annika opened her eyes with a jerk as he applied the break suddenly , she looked around outside the window and realized that they were no where near her house she stared in his eyes with a questioning look , but before she could even open her mouth to ask him that where they were he started giving explanations "look I know that we are no where near your house , but by mistake I took this wrong turn , and didn't realize for a long time , and when I realized that this is not the way to your house it was too late , you were asleep and this damn GPS had stopped working"he said throwing his phone on the back seat , " it's ok Mr Oberoi , it's ok why are you shouting " she said very calmly , he didn't expect her to be this calm at his carelessness "I didn't want to go home anyways.." she said very softly to herself and thought that he didn't hear anything "did you say something..?" He said pretending he didn't hear anything , and then smiled to himself "so..you wouldn't mind me buying you a drink , theres a place nearby I know..." He blutered out , and then immideately closed his eyes in embarrassment , she stared at him , and thought how can a man be cute and an arrogant ass at the same time, she heaved a deep sigh and said " I wouldn't mind that" his eyes lit up in a sort of happiness and he took a few swift turns and pulled at a parking lot . He moved out with speed , she smiled at his excitement he opened her door and said " after you" She smiled at him and mouthed a thank you to him. They walked in silence till they reached a retro kinda bar she was in awe of the place it had a beautiful ambiance there were minimal people sitting , mostly couples she noticed . They reached an empty table at the end of the bar . He pulled out a chair for her and she sat on it while smiling at him . Though rude and arrogant he could be sweet as well she thought , this man had a lot of colours she thought he probably was not that bad once you start to know him , her thoughts were broken when he asked " Annika what would you like?"
" ummm" she glanced at the the drinks menu and said " I don't know much about drinks can you order for us both" he chuckled a bit at her honesty and then gave an order for both of them. Their drinks arrived and she took a swift wiff from her drink then ended up coughing . He came over to rub her back gently when she stopped he said " it's bourbon , its quite strong so go slow , take slow small sips okay . " He advised . She started gulping her drink in small sips and felt the liquid burning her throat but she didn't care and kept on taking sips , because it was her heart which was burning with much more intensity and she needed alcohol dearly , she didn't realize he was looking at her so intently with his ocean coloured eyes fixed on her beautiful face.
" Why are you so quiet today ?" he said breaking the silence , she just sighed at the question and started , " nothing , it's just that I am too tierd of life , I don't know why am I even alive , my brother doesn't want me , I know he's going through alot , but you wouldn't believe what happened today...." she stopped gulping her drink ,and continued ,"today I called at the hospital to talk to him , and you know what he refused to talk to me , can you believe it" her voice cracking in between due to the tears ," he says that he doesn't want me to waste anymore time of my life on him and he wouldn't talk to me until I learn to live my life and find a reason to live other than him" she stopped again just to drown in his oceanic eyes which were starting at her with such a great intensity that she could feel sparks in her body , Shivaay himself was shocked that he listened to her with so much patience , but then why wouldn't he she was so attractive , a man could actually loose himself in her velvety brown eyes , her silky long curls......their passionate eye lock was broken due to the sound of a lady singing , when Shivaay realized that one was allowed to sing in this bar , in front of a live audience and this was one of her wishes , which she revealed yesterday , he looked at her , she was having her second glass of borbon so he decided he wouldn't have another sip , because if they both lost their senses they would be making out in a corner for sure ,
" why don't you go and sing as well , you said that you wanted to right?" he said ," yes I did  , but I don't think I am ready for it" she said staring straight into  his eyes ,"nonsense , why do you think that you  aren't capable of singing in front of a few dumbos , who don't even know you , I think you should surely give this a shot if you really want to find the real you , you should complete all your wishes". smiling he said with a certain spark in his magnetic blue eyes which lit her face as well ," you know what , I should I actually do this and I will " saying so , she stood up , almost falling  due to the effects of alcohol , they could hear the roaring sound of claps echoing in the small bar , announcing that the lady had finished her song , she reached the stage with much difficulty , holding the mic she stared "hello everyone, I'm.." she stopped looking at the people staring at her , she gulped a huge lump in her throat due to nervousness and then continued , "I'm sing and I'm going to Annika..." she slurred , and Shivaay just facepalmed himself at that ," ohh , I mean , I'm Annika and I am going to sing for you all" she finally got it right , and Shivaay sighed in relief , his gaze was fixed on her face , but she was staring at the crowd .

"Badan pe sitare lapete hue..." she stared singing an old retro Bollywood song , not singing actually , practically screaming on top of her lungs ,in the mic , her singing was not even close to singing thought Shivaay , that's what singing like a maniac actually means..
"Badan pe sitare lapete hue.."  she continued in the same tone but with more confidence and a spark in her eyes , her muscles relaxing as each word of the song came out of her lips , though she was singing really bad , but the smile adorned on her face while she was singing was priceless , almost elemenating the sound of her bad voice , at least for Shivaay
"Ohh jaane tamna , kidhar jaa rahi ho" she now removed the mic from it's stand , and held it in front of her lips , while she did the famous Shami Kapoor steps of the song , she actually did it so well that it left Shivaay laughing , almost falling of the chair , so amused he was by her crazy yet cute antics  , he looked around , composing himself and found that he was the only one enjoying her performance throughly , he still couldn't control his laughter though
"Ohh jaane tamna kidhar jaa rahi ho.." she repeated ,  her voice becoming a little less confident now , she stopped abruptly and placed her palm on the mic , she turned her head in the direction where he was seated and shouted " Mr Oberoi , what were the lyrics further?" , His eyes practically poped out at the sudden question, but nothenless he answered back shouting "zara pass aao toh chaien aa jae.." , "oh yaa" she said her hand still on the mic , but still everyone could hear her clearly ,due to her great ability to shout , "zara pass aao toh chaien aa jae" she continued , she jumped off the stage and started dancing and jumping around a table where a couple was seated , clearly not enjoying her presence , but as if she cared she continued dancing and singing loudly around their table , on the other hand Shivaay couldn't control his laughter , he was practically laughing his ass out , when he realized he hadn't laughed so much in nearly ten years , he jumped from his seat and ran towards her when he saw the manager and gaurds of the bar going towards her , he held her hand tightly and practically pulled her out of the bar , he was so sure that they would never allow him to enter that bar again , but then he was Shivaay Singh Oberoi.. , they practically ran towards his car , his hand tightly cluching hers , was igniting sparks in both their bodies , but neither of the two cared to let go , they stopped , panting , standing with the support of the car , when out of nowhere she came close to him , close enough to sent both their pulses racing , she wrapped her arms around his neck and shouted " that was amazing.." though the moment was enough intimate for him , he couldn't control his laughter , she looked at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes and the same smile on her lips which could practically make him breathless , he sighed instantly wrapping his arms around her waist , looking in the depth of her eyes , melting in her arms , he was amused at the thought that a simple act of crazyness with her could be so pleasurable for both of them , her full , moist , parted lips were just a millimeter away from him , and he could gladly claim them his forever , and give her a taste of real pleasure again ,  but today he realized that he didn't want to run into situations he just wanted to go slow , and cherish each coming moment , each adventure he would have with her and he was so sure he would have many.......
So with all his willpower he pushed her just enough for both of them to breathe normally , and just enough for him to share with her his body heat , the warmth of his hand still holding her was enough for chills to run down her spine , they started walking on the deserted road , he was so glad that he didn't have much of that burbon because she was already out of her senses and three glasses down , he practically had to hold her still from falling , though he was not complaining....
She stopped abruptly and faced him ," why aren't we taking the car" she slurred , " because I don't drink and drive" he replied calmly , acting to be unaffected by their closeness , "aww you're such a good human being..'' she said and started to play with his lush dark hair decreasing the distance between them , with one swift movement of his hands , he pulled her even closer , twisting her hands behind her back and whispered in his old dengerous tone " stop playing with me , just walk quitely " , she struggled to free herself and when her hands were out of his hold , she cluched both his collars tightly pulling him even closer to both of  theirs  discomfort and whispered " why do you sometimes behave like a cute puppy and  sometimes like an arrogant ass and still manage to look so devastatingly handsome in anything you wear" he so wanted to pull her behind a tree , kiss her till both of them losed their senses and have her right there , right then , but instead he just smiled at her honesty , and started walking again pulling her closely behind , he stopped a taxi to get her home , and made both of them comfortable on the back seat , with a big gap between the both of them , she on the other hand wasn't liking the distance , so was he but he was in his senses remember? , she almost instantly closed the gap between them coming as humanly close to him as possible , wrapping her arms around his waist , she just sunk in the seat , melting due to his manly scent , snuggling even closer in his soft linen coat to gain some of his warmth , which was turning out to be her weakness , she closed her eyes , and so did he , she due to her tieredness and he due to the proximity , he unconsciously or consciously wrapped his arms around her waist  pulling her even more into him though all this was pure tourture for him he couldn't stop himself from getting a hard on , the moment his arms wrapped around her she was plugged into deep slumber , he just stared at her gorgeous face , sighing at the little ball of crazyness wrapped in his arms sleeping peacefully setting his body on fire...

They reached her house and instead of waking her up , he gladly carried her in his arms , ensuring not to disturb her sleep , he lightly placed her on her warm , lush bed and covered her with the blanket , he crouched besides her bed and kissed her  cheek , his lips very softly yet very passionately moved on her skin and remained there longer than required , burning the insides of his body , he stopped unsatisfied , stared at her face passionately and whispered in her ear " how do you always manage  to look so tempting and so beautiful every time I see you.." his words a mere crease on her skin , he just got up , looked at her sleeping once again , sighed and left...
