Part 15

Kartik stood there with confusion he was not expecting her on board especially not after the way they left things. He was use to seeing her in saris, here she was wearing a white anarkali suit which looks nice on her, ofcourse he would never tell her that.

"ahem your late.. bhavna take her to do check in. everyone else to the lounge let's go"

'what the hell he just ignored me.. what did you expect you weren't very nice to him that day' her thoughts were fighting each other. The flight there was extremely long, but they eventually reached Paris.

"Everyone we are almost landing" said Kartik "
I can see the Eiffel tower" squealed Anita. Naira rolled her eyes, she'd completely forgotten she was coming with them. Luckily Naira was in good company with her colleague/friend Sriti. They landed and went over to get their luggage. Naira's bag seemed heavy she couldn't seem to get it off the conveyer belt. "come on you stupid thing!" she cursed.

"you guys go ahead I'm just coming" Kartik went over to her, he saw her struggling, he swiped in and pulled the bag she recognised his hands as he pulled it off to the ground. She turned to him

"thanks Kartik I.." he didn't let her complete the sentence. "the others are waiting" with that he left Sriti saw him coming towards her

"stay with her" he said as he walked off. Five of them were walking ahead as Naira and Sriti followed, they all put their suitcases into a mini bus and were driven to their hotel, he told everyone to get their card's for their room, all were booked in separate rooms, he told all to freshen up and come to the lobby in 2hrs time. Kartik jumped into the shower to freshen up he heard a knock at the door, it must be Anita he thought, he held his towel around the waist in place.

He opened his hotel room door.

" You.. What?" Naira stood there in a baby pink gown her hair slightly damp, this didn't seem like a good idea when he looked so damn hot in just a towel!

"um...t-the shower in my room stopped working.. can I take one here?" she asked. Kartik swallowed hard.

Water trickles from his forehead, now to his bottom lip, she could not stop starring. she waited for his answer, he holds his towel carefully in place. I'm pretty sure all the showers are working, what's she up to?.

"oh really, what's wrong with it?" he asked those lips... concentrate Naira and what a gentleman he could at least invite me in the room! She knew she had to do something herself "You know.." she barged into his room.

"Hey hang on.." he starts ..she doesn't give him a chance to explain she walked in further, he quickly shuts the door, he is in no position to do anything else as his hands are not free, if he moves her out of the way chances are his towel would unravel. "The thing is stuck.. the nozzle you know the..hot water won't come on" she fibbed making hand gestures to make her lie believable. She quickly turns around to find him right behind her. She scans him from down to up.

"so can I?" she says with eagerness.

"what?" he asks again.
She tiptoes a little, getting close to him, her cheek almost rubbing against his, she slightly turns her cheek enough so her mouth was against his ear.

"take a shower" she whispers closing her eyes.

He could feel her breath tickle his earlobe, and make him feel all hot, she was so close, her body pressing against his, then he felt her hands slide up his bare upper back. He gasps for a second. She smirks at the reaction she got from him.

"you know I'm dripping wet just for you" she said in a seductive voice.

she felt his hands grip her arms jerking her off to face him. She was confused at his reaction and just stood gaping at his torso. He looked at her, her arms in a firm grip . In just seconds he pulled her forward into a searing kiss plunging his tongue into her mouth, which she gladly welcomed her hand flew around his neck not getting enough of his taste and scent, he lifted her off her feet and...

"Naira, Naira wake up"

"hmm" she stirred

"wake up, the shower is free, and your drooling.." she said drying her hair Naira sat up looking around she was in the hotel room couch but had fallen asleep?. then she remembered her and Sriti were discussing what to wear, she told her to go shower, whilst she has a short nap, but it turned in one steamy dream and it was frustrating when it didn't even happen. It was a dream?.. it felt really real. She sat up wiping the side of her mouth " Naira hurry up if we are late sir will get mad na?" Naira stretched her arms

"It's fine Sriti I forgot something in my room I left some essentials there.. I will just go there you get ready and go down stairs I will be there shortly.
"ok sure as you wish" Naira takes her bag and leaves for or her own room. She then realises that Kartik's room is 2 doors down hers. She dwells about her dream and breaks into a smile. Kartik slips on a shirt a knock came on the door, he finishes buttoning it as he goes over and opens the door. "Naira?"

"Hi, I um.." he waves her to come in.. she quickly walks in, he is pacing the room like he is in a hurry, looking for something.

"my shower it's, is it ok if I take a shower here? she was dressed in her salvar still she couldn't go through her dream look she didn't have the guts. His phone goes off.

"just a second.. hi .. yes we.. he speaks into the phone "one sec"

"sure, here once your done come give me the card, don't be late I will see you downstairs." He says to her, not giving a second look as he walks out with the phone closing the door behind him. What the hell was that.. the idea worked out way better in my dream and he..argh! She leaves the room in frustration taking the card with her, she goes into her room to get changed as her shower is perfectly fine. She gets ready quickly and makes her way downstairs in another anarkali which was pastel orange... then goes over to him and gives him his card, he takes it without much of a thanks. They all head over the hotel restaurant, he was occupied with Anita and she pretended she didn't care and stayed with Sriti and Nikki most of the time.

"Right.. now as we know tomorrow is a important day I want everyone up by 7:00am and in the meeting room by 8:00am we have to seal this deal.. what say people?" everyone yells "yes" in unison.

"that's the spirit in that case I suggest you all have an early, night"

"really Kartik your not dying to hit a casino right now?" Kartik chuckles.

"Akshay you know it but it's not the time right now" everyone laughs.

"ok guys I've got some prep work to do so I'm calling it an early night, you all can stay up late I don't mind but just know I want you all at that meeting on time you got me?" they all agree. He nods and gets up from the table.

"Naira come to my room I need to discuss something." She didn't expect this..

"ok" she replies casually. She feels maybe this is her chance to talk to him and he will be all alone in that room, her tummy began to feel butterflies.

Fifteen minutes later..

"Sriti I'm tired too I'm going to call it a early night"

"ok Naira me and Nikki are going to hit a club you sure you don't want to join us?"

"positive, see you in the morning girls and that without a hang over" she teases and leaves from there.

She goes into her room and sits on the bed gathering thoughts.. she gets up and decides to try what she wants to. She walks out of her room and goes over to his, the door opens pretty fast.

"Naira come.." he says walking back to the table, leaving the door open for her..he was in total business mode, she walks and sees his laptop was open on the table opposite the couch, papers everywhere. She sees Kartik pick up some papers. In a soft tone she says
"Hey do you need any help?, I'm free if.." she trails off once she saw Anita come from the washroom.

"I've got it covered but extra help is.." Anita is interrupted.

"Here, I called to give you these" he hands her some papers. "go through these it's about the meeting tomorrow ok and get an early night I need to bright and awake tomorrow and wear a western outfit no sari or salvar not your usual type" he says with a patronizing tone, but she didn't let him know. "fine see you in the morning" she walks off. "bye Naira" yells Anita.. but no response from Naira she is too irritated with them both. Kartik closes the door with a chuckle "that was a bit harsh" Kartik looked at Anu
"Anu what I'm saying just do it.. listen I know what I am doing treat them mean keep them keen and no one rejects me, if they want a second chance its not easy"

"ok.. but this stint will be dobe soon right? I need to get back to my family, Nihal is asking when and the kids are missing me too" Kartik listens.. "hmm soon I promise"

Next morning Naira is up bright and early, she makes her way with a file to the room booked. Kartik is already near the entrance

His look

he looked at his wrist watch, his hair was gelled back. He looked up barely recognising her. Naira's outfit

That supported by a pair of black sandals, her hair out and her face with a hint of light make up. He could not keep his eyes off her she looked breath taking.. she walks towards him, she has a sexy style in her walk like she is walking the ramp. He was lost in her beauty.
