"I do Preeti won't come in the way of this I mean it Naira, this is real for me. Take a risk with me. He held his hand out to her. She looked down at it.

"Its too complicated I'm sorry." she shook her head, and walked out before she burst into tears again. Kartik didn't call her back, she had a point, Preeti would never let this work out for him. He rubbed his head.

'Naira you seriously need your head examined he just told you what you always wanted to hear and now you are running away, coward of your own feelings' scolded her mind. P

Naira turned around and thought did she just make the biggest mistake of her life?"

"Everyone change of plan the penthouse is available I was going to shoot this sequence in India but seeing as we are here we will shoot some of it here" said Kiku

Everyone got placed on the minivan it wasn't a far drive the sun was setting, they reached the penthouse it was really big and luxurious inside.

Naira looked around at the sheer beauty of the place, Kartik couldn't help but admire her until a piercing sound of the director came in their ears.

"ok guys get them ready fast please" said Kiku, they went to change separately in the bedrooms the girls helped Naira and the men helped Kartik with their touch up and hair, shortly Kartik came out, he was dressed for his shot.

"Naira is just coming Kartik, Kiku sir said you both are shooting on the roof he is waiting there for you both, you go ahead I'll bring Naira she is just getting her make up done" said Khushi.

"yah sure I'll go now" he said making his way there.. he entered the night roof what a scene it was!

"Kartik your here that open one or two buttons from the top "said Kiku

"Yes sir" he said undoing 2 of them

His look

"Vikram light up the scene here this is where they will sit once Naira comes I'll explain to her. Just then Naira walked in..

She walked up. " I am ready Kikuji" she said, Kartik was sitting on one of the white chairs. Her voice made him look up he was lot in her.

'A 4th KG original and this is my favourite one'

"Great your here, ok take a seat next to Katik I just want to explain the scenario to you both.

'He is looking extra gorgeous in this shirt' Naira sat down next to him, their eyes met briefly

"So..you both are love up on your honeymoon, he gives you this rose and then you take it and run there holding the glass frame looking ahead"

"Once she gets up Kartik you run to her and hold her waist and then what you do with the rose is up to you improvise, then I want a hug where you Naira can't believe that Kartik your husband has made you feel so special then we will shoot the next part but 1st this.

"Any questions before we start?" They both shook their heads

"Ready and action.

Kartik turned to Naira and gave her the rose

"Cut it, no I want intensity Naira um.. stand up, ok sit on his lap then you give her the rose. Kartik looked at her he was a bit lost in her eyes

'Don't make her feel uncomfortable by staring at her instead help her she looks nervous'
he listened to his mind and composed himself.

"Sit down" he said softly then took her hand and made her sit across his lap, she immediately encircled his neck. Kartik held one hand around her waist, she felt his hand against her soft skin and felt a sweet tingle.

"yes I like this Ramesh frame that shot and guys before the rose scene, Naira do some cute gestures like you can pull his ear and Kartik play along, now we are ready " he told his cameraman

"And action"

Naira held his ear pulled his lobe scrunching her face. Kartik faked a ouch expression. With a pout he took the rose and gave it to her..

"Cut" that was great

"you ok" he askee as she adjusted her sari..

"Hmm I um.." she replied but was cut off by guess who Yep Kiku sit.

"next part I just want to do a quick practice.. so Naira he gave you the rose yes your smiling at him good, Kartik that's good" he said seeing him cup her neck, his fingers lightly brushing her jaw.

'Sir's hands on me is making me a bit distracted but I just want this moment to freeze even if it is just acting'

"good now go closer like your about to kiss..then Naira get up run away with the rose.

'Her lips look soft and I just want to..stop control'

Naira stood up and ran to the glass frame gripping it, Kartik ran behind her he took the rose from her hand, she turned her head to find him behind her. He held encircled her waist with one hand whilst with the other he ran the rose sensuously from her lower lip, down the dip of her neck and down her sari up to her belly.

"I like it Kartik its good" he said

Ok let's shoot this part" said Kiku

"Is the drone ready?"

" just five minutes sir" said Ramesh as this shot had to be done by drone with the camera gripped to it.

"ok five minute break if you both want just practice in your minds we don't have time to do a practice where I can send you both off" he said then went to check the camera.

'I don't want to leave her she feels so good to touch but I also don't want to pressure her' he looked at Naira and removed his hands "sorry" he said

"Sir its o." before she could complete okay he walked away. She didn't want him to feel this way.. she should go find him but two people came to do their touch ups.

"ok places everyone Kartik you can start from being already behind her. They both nodded Naira held the glass frame the drone camera was right in front of them.

"And action, after that rose trace you can continue to improvise just go with the flow"

Kartik did the same action.. this time he was a bit more fierce in which added to the scene bringing more passion. He wanted to make her feel more by his touch and what better than under acting..

'now what we passed the rose part, ok he is moving my hair to the front'

'Arch your neck little I whispered to her'

'Oh God I felt his lips on the side of my neck now he is kissing it and his hand gripped mine on the glass frame.

"this is too good guys keep going don't worry about sound it will be dubbed later'

"Turn and give me a hug he whispered in my ear'

Naira turned and threw her arms around him feeling his body press hers, he hugged her tiny frame they hugged passionately and remembered to stay near the glass frame where the drone panned their hug from up to down.

'Let this moment just freeze here in her arms'

"And cut that was excellent"

Naira lifted her head off his shoulder, he also caught on and they made a distance. Kiku checked the footage and he seemed happy but told them they may have to reshoot it again later in the month if there are any issues which they both agreed too.

*
everyone sat down Naira was the only one to sit and Kartik was only one with a free seat next to him. She didn't want to sit there, but there was no choice. There was a long silence.

'is he not talking with me? What do you expect you rebuffed him so why would he'
Kartik looked over to her.

"so how have you liked Dubai so far?" she turned to him.

"nice ya" he nodded "hmm" He looked the other way and she turned to him.

'what have I done?' she questioned.

'even after everything he is trying to make this easy for me and me I am just being difficult, life is short why am I over thinking so much!!'

Lost in her thoughts she didn't know when they reached the hotel. The whole group came out of the car and were waiting in the lobby "Listen everyone we are going back tomorrow its an early flight. "um Naira and Kartik there has been a blunder with the booking and I'm sorry we only got one room so you both be sharing please don't mind, there is a sofa so one of you can take that. "Sir what the hell how did ..

"Sir it's ok we will manage" she smiled

"We will?" said Kartik she nodded, now he was confused.

Back into her simple blue salvar she combed her hair thoroughly. Kartik knocked on her door, "its open" she called. She turned around as she saw his reflection in the mirror, wearing a black t-shirt and baige joggers "Sir?" she got off the seat pushing her hair to the back. "you changed? I thought to wait untill" she nodded

"yes its all fine now" he came closer "Sorry about the mix up I didn't think there would be a shortage of rooms in this way"

"Sir why are you apologising it's not your fault" she said walking up to him, he brushed passed her "yeah but still" he said sitting on the bed. "and you can have the bed I will sleep on the sofa" he said but no couldn't let him do that

"no all your life you have had a luxury life you won't like the sofa you take the bed" he shook his head..

"nai Naira you take the bed. He said pressing the bridge of his nose and squeezing his eyes. "Sir everything ok?" she said in concern.. "hmm he replied

"just a bit of a headache no big deal..

"listen sweetie come take a seat and see how comfortable this matress is then you will want me to sleep on the sofa. He chuckled.

"hmm" a soft chuckle escaped her mouth as she climbed on to the bed.

"your right its comfortable. He turned his face to her. "told you" then he continued to massage his forehead.

"Sir" she said slipping down "this always helps me" half sitting she leaned over him, using her left elbow as balance on the bed, as her fingers rubbed against his temple.

"Hmm that's nice" he replied with his eyes shut and a smile on his lips. She smiled as she ran her fingers against his forehead, she smiled at his comment. It was ok when his eyes were shut but now they were open and gazing right at her. She didn't feel nervous which surprised her. 'enough running away tell him how you feel'

she got lost she didn't know when her hand fell from his head to his neck, he held that hand. "you ok?" she nodded.

"hmm.. you asked me a question about taking a risk with you?"

"yeah?" he asked all alert now caressing her hand in his.

"sir I want to take a risk with you.. and now?.." he smiled as her eyes met his, his hand now moved from her hand to the back of her neck pulling her close to him and this made her nervous but in a good way. She was gazing over him. "and now?"..

"huh and now?" he pulled her down across his chest, locking her with hands, "yes you were saying.. he said in husky tone, he could feel her breath fan his lips.. "yeah I ... she said in almost whisper.

"you what?.." he said as he closed the distance between them, taking her bottom lip into his mouth he gently sucked it then released it. She blinked feeling his lips play with hers

"nothing" she replied lost for words when he was making her feel this way, She leaned down and pressed her lips against his, his hands changed position his hand was caressesing her nape gently grazing her with his finger tips, her lips felt soft against his, she closed her eyes enjoying this closeness between them, nothing was said their lips were doing all the talking, her hand caressed his right cheek, his legs shifted becoming a L shape, one foot flat and the other folded and resting, her hands rested upon his waist as they exchanged sweet kisses they were soft and tender not deep just nice and enjoyable,then it hit her, they were alone on the bed in a hotel room as much as she didn't want to stop, she had to keep in her limits, she reluctantly broke the kiss and his eyes dreamly opened, when he lost contact. She pressed her lips together.

"and now we should get some sleep we have a early flight back home hmm?" she panted giving him a quick peck on the cheek, with a short giggle as she turned the other way on the bed. Kartik rubbed his hair with silly grin.

"hmm" he said slipping his hand around her waist as he snuggled up to her she couldn't help but smile as she felt his hands on her, "sound sleep beautiful" he said kissing her cheek. She didn't want him for a second to feel like he didn't matter, she enterwined her fingers with hers knotting them around her waist. He smiled at her actions. He inhaled into her hair as his face rested on her shoulder. They both fell asleep.
