"So where are we going for holidays?", Shivaay asked as he settled down beside Annika after bringing coffee for everyone.

Everyone was present at Shivaay's house to discuss about their vacation and spend some time together.

"Yes and we hope you guys will love it too..it's really beautiful and exotic", Malika smiled taking her cup.

"The trip is specially for you girls and our baby girl, Rudy. So anything you wish", Om teased. Rudra frowned throwing a cushion towards him. Everyone chuckled.

"So what's the place?", Shivaay asked looking towards Annika.

"It's Bora Bora!", she exclaimed and girls hooted in excitement. Boys looked at each other.

"Your bucket list destination eh?", Arnav asked looking towards Malika who nodded happily.

"Wow didis and Bhavya! Such an amazing place you guys have selected! It would be so much fun!", Rudra said as excited as girls.

"When are we going to leave for Bora Bora as everything in work needs to be taken care before it. Bookings for island cottages also", Om asked.

"Don't worry about anything, I will handle it", Shivaay said assuring everyone.

"As always, our guide and planner", Arnav said shaking head making Shivaay chuckle.

"Btw, yes guys. Me and Shivaay will handle everything but yeah, when should we leave!", he asked again.

"If everyone don't have problem, we can leave by weekend", Annika suggested.

"In just 3 days", Malika's eyes twinkle hearing it. Annika nodded with a chuckle seeing her happiness.

"We're fine with it", everyone agreed over it.

"Omg! I am so excited yaar", Annika squealed and hugged Shivaay who smile wrapping his arm around her and kissed over her hair.

"Girls, we've to do shopping also", Gauri said making girls nod in yes.

"Exactly! We need to buy some beach wear too", Bhavya winked making Rudra raise his eyebrow to which she rolled her eyes.

Shivaay looked at her who was smiling at others. He leaned to her ear, tucking her hair.

"Am I going to get some hot view in this vacation?", he asked nibbling her earlobe. She looked at others who were busy in themselves.

"Maybe. Who knows what's stored in this trip", she said tilting her face slightly towards him.

"That's true. Many things are stored in trip and I promise you will love it", he said looking in her eyes. The intensity of his eyes made her shiver and she looked away, clearing throat.

"I am hungry. What are we having for dinner?", she asked gaining everyone's attention.

"Why order? I will cook something", Shivaay said.

"Babe, you're tired too. Entire day in office, then today that media stunt. You must be exhausted and you shouldn't take so much stress", she said in concern.

Everyone smiled hearing it. Shivaay has been a man who thinks for other before him. He is always there for everyone and make sure everyone has comfort but he never thinks about himself or his health. Seeing Annika's concern made them happy that finally he has someone who thinks about him.

"Annika but-", he paused as she glared at him.

"No but and if, you are relaxing now. We'll order from outside or if you are not feeling to eat from outside then I will cook something", she scowled.

"Okay my lady. You won! You can order whatever you want", he said raising his hands in surrender. She smiled patting his cheek.

"So...pizza!", she asked and everyone nodded excitedly.

|••|

"What are you doing?", she asked laying upside down on the bed munching an apple. She saw worry lines on his forehead.

"Looking at the cottage rooms, baby", he said in careless way.

It was late night and Annika was staying back at his home. It has become frequent in past few days of Annika staying over at his home. No, they have not started living in together but just to sneak some extra quality time, she often stay backs at his home. She even have few pairs of her clothes here, though anyhow she'll be find in his hoodies.

"What's the problem then?", she asked getting up, sitting criss cross on the bed.

"It's honeymoon and holiday season in Bora Bora. Also, Christmas and New Year eve is coming. Water bungalows and hotels are quite packed up", he told the reason surfing through the sites.

"So rooms are not there?", her shoulders slump down in disappointment.

"It's not that pumpkin. There's a package of three interconnected bungalows but there's a slight issue", he said.

"What?", she pouted frowning. She was really excited about their vacation. It would be her first Christmas and New Year with him and she wanted it to be special.

"The rooms are like, one bedroom and two triple bedroom", Shivaay said and looked at her who looked back at him in confusion.

"I don't see any issues", she looked at him. He raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah! You and me in one room, other six in those two rooms", she shrugged getting ready to sleep.

"Ahaan, sharing room with me huh?", he teased. She rolled her eyes smiling. 

"As if we don't sleep on same bed, frequently, these days", she said and blushed at her boldness.

"I liked the boldness, pumpkin", he walked to her making her lay down blushing on the bed.

"Your girlfriend is bold, mister", she said covering the comforter over her.

"I see, bold huh", he said jumping on the bed beside her and held her from behind and started tickling her, making her shriek and squirm in his arms. The room filled with her laughter. It brighten his silent home like moonlight does to a dark night.

He kept tickling and stopped seeing her going breathless. 

"I would love to have this bold beauty in trip too", he said and kissed her neck making her blush and tuck her in his arms. He snuggled face in his neck kissing her earlobe.

"Babe.."

He hummed playing with her fingers. His arms were wrapped around her waist. In a short period of time, they have grown extremely comfortable around each other.

"Nothing", she mumbled with a smile and turned around in his arms, wrapping her arms around his torso.

"What happened baby?", he asked kissing her hair.

"I am just feeling happy. I am happy", she smile kissing over his chest. He chuckled silently and hugged her closer to her chest.

"I am happy too", he said smiling over her hair. She closed her eyes and soon slipped into slumber. He noticed this and soon slept taking her in his arms.

The weekend came sooner this time. It was Saturday and everyone were ready to leave for airport to take their flight for Bora Bora. They're at Oberoi mansion as Jhanvi wanted to meet everyone before leaving.

"Make sure you guys have lots of fun and do all water activities. The beaches there are really beautiful", Jhanvi said excited.

"It seems you know quite well about the place, aunty. You have been there?", Annika asked.

"Of course she has been. It was mom and dad's 17th honeymoon place I guess", Shivaay said as he wrapped arm around Annika's shoulder.

"I am a romantic person, son! Learn something", Tej said wrapping arm around his wife's waist. Jhanvi blushed.

"I will learn it dad, I have reasons fo be romantic now", Shivaay said smugly and looked at Annika. She looked down tucking her hair to hide her blush.

"Okay, couples", Malika said making others chuckle, "I think we should leave now before media spread like bees on the airport", she added making everyone nod.

"I just completely forgot about media. Should we leave separately?", he whispered to Annika.

"I don't care anymore Shivaay. If they get some ideas, it's fine", she smiled. Her reply made his heart flutter. He nodded kissing the back of her palm.

Bidding bye to Jhanvi and Tej, the bunch of friends left for airport. As they reached, media was already present. Malika and others came out of their cars walking to the VIP checking counter. Shivaay opened the door for Annika and both led towards the same.

Media had hundred questions seeing their recent rumoured favourite couple and seeing them coming out together and holding hands. They're in comfy casual clothes.

They tried to come ahead to ask questions to them but the security of airport kept them away giving couple opportunity to leave from the area.

"Woosh! This media can never leave us", Malika exclaimed as they settled down in the rest area before the flight starts boarding.

"Come on Mal. We're because of them and our fans, they adore us", Annika said softly.

"Yeah. But sometimes it's too much yaar", Bhavya said snatching bottle from Rudra who looked at her with open mouth.

Annika chuckled leaning back on her seat. She took out her phone and posted a story on her IG account updating her fans about her vacation.

She posted a story with a picture which Shivaay took of hers captioning as- lets goo!!!

"Guys, boarding has started. Let's go", Om came checking with the flight timings. Everyone nodded picking up their handbags.

"I need some coffee. I'll get it and come", Annika said to which others agreed.

"I will come with you. Come", Shivaay said moving to the coffee house.

"One Americano and one cold brew with two pumps of oat milk", he ordered before he does. She smiled seeing this.

"You know my order pretty well now", she smiled bumping shoulder with his. He chuckled wrapping arm around her shoulder.

"So what are going to do there?", she asked as they took their coffee orders.

"Snorkelling, lagoon cruising, jet skiing and many more", he told her getting their tickets checked and boarded.

"I am so excited", she clutched his arm excitedly. He smiled seeing her canines exposing as she smiles widely.

Boarding the flight, they went to the business class which was completely occupied by them and their friends. They settled down as the announcement for take off happened. Shivaay and Annika were sitting at the front on one side while other were at the left side.

"Annika enough, baby", Shivaay chuckled as he saw Annika taking her selfies or his candids. She smiled sheepishly.

"Just to warn you Bhaiya, Annika is a big photo freak. She loves capturing her every moment", Gauri said making him smile at Annika who glared at Gauri.

"So what? It's good to have still memories too", she defended herself. Gauri shook her head and wore her eye-mask.

He looked back at Annika feeling her entwining their palms. He saw her clicking a picture of that and a smile crept on his face seeing her cute antic. She looked at him and smile sheepishly.

He leaned down and kissed her lips making her smile and reciprocate him, cupping his nape.

"I promise to make this trip most memorable for you, pumpkin", he said as they parted making her smile and caress his cheek.

After a long flight, they arrived Bora Bora airport. The girls came out of airport excited and squealing in happiness taking their handbags.

"They're behaving like kids", Arnav said shaking head and the luggage was getting inside the boots of their cable car.

"They're just excited on having a vacation together Arnav, chill", Shivaay chuckled and called girls.

"We shall leave for bungalows", he said and everyone nodded.

They're in two cable cars. In one, it was Annika, Shivaay, Om and Rudra. Another one had Arnav, Malika, Gauri and Bhavya.

Shivaay frowned lightly as Annika sat down beside Rudra and both were constantly talking about the fun and activities they'll do together on the island.

"She's yours only, man", he heard Om who chuckled making Shivaay glare at him. Om only laughed seeing his annoyed face because of not getting any attention from his girlfriend.

Next moment, a smile formed on his face as he saw in front of him. Annika was blowing over Rudra's eye as some dirt fell inside his eyes. Annika had a concern frown on her face.

"I am okay didi. It's nothing", Rudra said again.

"Shh Ru, you're rubbing your eyes again and again. It must be itching and see, your eyes is red", Annika scolded him.

"Ohho didi, you're just like bhaiya..always caring", Rudra chuckled to gain a glare from her.

She pour some drops of water on her handkerchief and dabbed over his eyes. Moving his face left and right, she smiled seeing him fine.

"Thank you didi", he hugged her side ways. She smiled widely hugging him back.

"Look here guys", Om called out making Annika and Rudra look at him and both grinned as he captured them in his camera.

They reached at the sea side from where they would take boat which would take them to their water bungalows. 

Getting inside the boat, they left for their bungalows. The boat was only occupied by them. The music was playing on which everyone were grooving. Annika, Malika and Rudra were singing song on their high pitch making others chuckle but enjoy it.

In sometime, the boat reached it's destination. They came out of the boat and gasped.

"Holy fudge!", Annika exclaimed as they saw the island covered with bungalows surrounded with sea all around.

"This is so damn beautiful", Malika exclaimed this time and hugged Arnav tightly who was beside her making him stiffen for a moment but smiled and wrapped arms around her.

"Let's get going guys", Gauri screamed happily and rushed at the lanes which take them to bungalows. Girls followed them smiling and gossiping happily. The island's staff was bringing their luggage from behind.

"Okay okay guys! Just wait a moment and come here", Shivaay said making everyone stop from their gossiping and look at him.

"So we've booked three bungalows which are interconnected through lanes. One of them has single bedroom and other two have triple bedroom", he informed making everyone nod.

"So girls can take one, boys can take one and me and Annika will take the single bedroom", he said casually making Annika blush looking down. She looked at girls who were passing teasing glances at her making her turn red like tomato.

"Ohho bhaiya! Single and all huh?", Rudra commented making Annika hide behind Shivaay feeling terribly embarrassed and she could bet, she was completely red.

"Shut up Rudy", Shivaay said glaring but it didn't affected him and he smirked mischievously at Annika who was finding the sand beneath her feet most beautiful at the moment.

"It's evening and we all must be tired so let's rest and meet for dinner sat night", Arnav said shifting attention from Annika. She mentally thanked him.

"Yeah, bhaiya need to rest also", Rudra teased again and ran away from there before Shivaay could catch him. Others chuckled and left for their bungalows.

"Chalein?", he asked, whispering in his ear and sucked her earlobe lightly making her cheeks heat up again. She nudge her elbow to his stomach making him chuckle and he wrapped arm around her waist taking them to their bungalow.

The bungalow was made up of woods and bamboo and had glasses which were tinted. He looked at her asking her to open the door. She smiled opening the door and gasped.

"Omg! Shivaay!!", she exclaimed excitedly and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms around her waist who jumped in his arms.

"There's a glass showing water beneath us", she said surprised rushing inside. She rushed out of the balcony area and gasped again.

"Everything is so beautiful Shivaay. The pool is connected to the sea and the beds", she smiled widely. He smiled seeing it and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Shall we see the room too?", he ask and winked at her making her roll her eyes playfully. Holding his hand, she dragged him towards the room.

"You know what! I am officially in love with this place", she said looking at the room. He chuckled nodding.

"I can see that quite well. Everything is genuinely beautiful here", he said making her agree smiling.

"We're here for 2 weeks right?", she asked to which he nodded.

"Though we can extend it anytime", he winked making her grin. She wrapped her arm around his torso making him wrap his arms around her shoulder and kissed over her hair.

"Get freshen up, I will prepare coffee for us in while", he said who nodded.

"You know, you're the best and you're spoiling me", she said against his chest and looked up at him. He smiled and pecked her lips.

"I will spoil you more, go get changed", he said kissing her nose. She nodded and kissed her again which she kissed back. He muttered something which she couldn't understand but smiled against his lips.
