The only thing that ran inside Annika's head was how can a man be so prefect? His each and every shade made Annika fall for him even more. It was still impossible for her to get hold of this fact; she was going on dates with Shivaay Singh Oberoi. Sitting next to him in the car, they waited for the traffic to subside. Shivaay was sitting silently, sometimes his head turning to glance at Annika.

"So, how are you handling yourself with so much of work these days?" Even if Annika hadn't told him about how hectic her work had been, someway he had figured out it was going all pleasent. "How did you know?" It was a question she needed an answer to. Shivaay smiled, his eyes fixed on her. "You always sounded so stressed, no way I couldn't have noticed it" Watching him with confusion clouded on her head but then how could he not know? He was a businessmen himself.

The car yet again started moving, Shivaay tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as the radio went on, blasting songs inside the car, filling the silence. Annika silentky hummed the song makimh Shivaay turn at her and watch her for some seconds. It made him keep a smile on his face intact.

"You should concentrate while driving" Annika said, never, ever did her eyes miss the movement of his head, turning towards her every now and then. Shivaay couldn't help but flush in embarrassment for getting caught. With a pout on his face, he gave Annika one last look before going back to driving.

Annika had a strong urge to pinch his cheeks but knowing that he was driving, she retrieved that thought back. Sitting some minutes in silence, she looked at the high raised building from the window as they drive ahead, the sky was clear, there were some tiny clouds floating up in the air, it gave her some peace. The car cane to hault soon, Shivaay unbuckled his seatbelt, his body turning towards her. "Stay here, let me open the door for you" He announced and got down, leaving behind Annika who seemed to be chuckling.

Shivaay opened the door for her as said, a blush forming in her cheeks as he grabbed hold of her hand, tingles running down her body. Her eyes fixed on the restaurant in front if then, the restaurant was huge, the lighting around it brightly shinning making it look more elegant. Her heels clicked as she walked side by side with Shivaay, her hand intertwined with his, fitting perfectly.

"After you Ms Mehra" Shivaay said, holding open the door of the restaurant for her. Annika gave him a big smile before setting her foot inside, the cold air hitting her soon enough. She turned around to find him standing behind her, his front preseed to her back, he inched closer, his fingers brushing her arm slowly. "You see, I own this hotel" Shivaay whispered in her ears. Annika looked around slowly, the place seemed very expensive.

No wonder it was owned by him, she had noticed the people sitting in suits and fancy clothes. Shivaay grabbed her arm, leading her away from the chaos, walking straight ahead. The smell of food filling her senses, her stomach grumbled making Shivaay look back at her with a smile. "Just some more minutes" To that Annika nodded, they now climbed up the stairs, the excitement rising in Annika.

Shivaay had not let go of hand when they reached the top if the stairs, he had held clutched her wrist tightly. Annika looked around with amazement, she felt like she was standing in heaven for some seconds, her head whipping towards Shivaay. The glass window above her head looked magnificent, giving her perfect view of the sky with some twinkling stars, the whole place decorated in red, a table in the middle.

Annika raised her head at him, she moved forward, hugging him tightly. Her head lying on his chest, he was warm, she could hear his calm breath, his heart beating faster than ever. It brought a smile on her face, she did have an impact on him. Shivaay had wrapped his arms around her, his hand moving up and down the length of her hair, they were soft and smooth.

"Thankyou Shivaay" Annika said as she broke up away from clutches, it was much more easier to look him in the eyes now, she wasn't scared of him anymore. Shivaay nodded at her with a cheeky smile, once again clutching her wrist and leading her towards the table in the middle. Pulling the chair out for her like a gentleman, not once but her had proved Annika that he was indeed a true gentleman. They both sat down, the menus sitting on the table, Annika took hold if it, examining it thoroughly.

"You gotta be kidding me" Her eyes landed on the prices, it was as expected expensive but looking at the them was making her head swirl. Shivaay raised his eyebrows, looking into what she found so intriguing. "The rates, they are too much" Annika closed her menu, they had been splitting bills on their every date, one if Annika's order but now as she gazed down at the prices, she knew she couldn't pay any of it.

"Hey, this is on me, don't worry" Shivaay took hold her hand on the table as he said.

"No way, let's just go to some other restaurant" Annika whined, even the bottle of water here was expensive. Shivaay sighed, shaking his head at her. "Listen to me, this one time, let me pay for both of us, just this one time" Shivaay bit his lip, persuading her wouldn't be easy but he wanted to try, she was like a rock, hard to break.

"But only this one time" Annika felt worse saying that, it was for a fact that she wanted to split bills, she felt it was healthy. Sighing, her eyes met Shivaay's which were glowing in happiness, he was such a dork. After some minutes of discussion about the food, they decided to go along with Italian sizzler.

Shivaay called the waiter who had been standing there for some minutes, looking at them as they cutely fought. Placing the order, Shivaay took his phone out, opening the camera immediately. Not waiting for a second more, he clicked on the button in the middle, capturing the goddess sitting in front of him in a picture. Annika turned instantly when she heard the small click to find a grinning Shivaay. "Did you just click my picture?" Annika folded her arms around her chest, her eyes glaring at him.

"None of your business" Shivaay announced, his phone now resting back into his pant pocket. "How us it not my business when you clicked my picture?" Annika titled her head at him, staring at him with sharp eyes but Shivaay did not bulge for a second, he had rather a smirk on his face. "Stop with those looks otherwise I will have to do something about it" Shivaay leaned back in his seat, his face still holding a huge smirk.

Annika kept both her elbows on the table, observing his face keenly, not a single word exchanged. He indeed meant what he said, Annika dropped her pointed look immediately making Shivaay chuckle. "You are a meanie Shivaay Singh Oberoi" Annika took hold of the glass, chugging down water.

"But I am yours" Annika choked, coughing out loudly as her eyes wide open. Shivaay Singh Oberoi being cheesy was a rare sight and right now, he was the king if chessyness. Annika refused to look back at him which earned another laugh from Shivaay. She couldn't comprehend how could he laugh so much around her.

She remembered reading once in a daily magazine about him which said, he was barely ever seen laughing, looking at the man in front of her, she felt he wasn't Shivaay Singh Oberoi, just Shivaay. He felt carefree around her and she was just more than happy to see him smiling so much when around her. "You do know how to sway a girl's heart, don't you?"

Shivaay only smiled at her comment, nodding his head proudly. "Tell me, have you ever felt this way?" He dropped his question, maybe she everything about him but he still hasn't know her better. "What if I say no?" Annika played with her fingers, curious to know where the conversation was heading towards.

"I will be the happiest man in this world if you say no to my question" Annika shook her head at him with a smile, he was nothing but a teenager right now. "My answer is no. No one has ever made me feel this way, I guess your magic is working Oberoi" Annika sincerely looked into his deep mesmerising eyes, they held so much of emotions right now.

Clearing her throat, she fixed her gaze down. For a fact Annika knew that he had never dated anyone in these past years, the tabloids on him were sometimes just right. No, she did not believe everything blindly written in them but some just made sense. "When was your last relationship?" She interrupted the complete silence by asking, her curiousty getting the best out of her.

Shivaay let out a small laugh at her question, he could see that she was eager to know the answer. "The last time I was in relationship was when I was seventeen years old" Annika blinked her eyes several times, her mouth hanging down. It had been several dates of their but never she asked him this question, it did not feel necessary to her but then she also wanted to know who and when he had his last relationship with.

So instead of saying anything more, she just nodded, not wanting to ask more to him on this topic. Annika had told him about her last relationship which ended up mutually Sone years ago and till now, she had a single.

"Your the first women to intrigue me so much Annika Mehra" A blush formed in Annika's cheeks in an instant, she felt her heself melting due to his words, the impact he had on her. "You are the first ever man to capture my heart in the first sight too" Tugging behind a hair strand, she gave him a small smile, swaying his heart away one more time.

"Annika, I had been meaning to ask you this question, will you be my girlfriend?"
