¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Shivaay is busy preparing dinner for him and Anika. Last time he deliberately spoiled his dish to make his plan happen. Since Anika denied him to fetch her from work, he thought to prepare dinner to kill his alone time. They didn't get time to spend with each other yesterday, he thought to make it up for it. He decided to go with Chinese. Lately Anika was craving for spicy food. So he prepared kam heong chicken, schezwan fried rice and garlic shrimp as main dish and glass noodle spring rolls as the starter.

As soon as Anika reached her room, the foodie inside her got alarmed with the delicious aroma coming from Shivaay's room. She couldn't resist herself from ringing his room bell. On the other side, Shivaay is all decked up to have a great dinner with his lady. Hearing the bell sound, he make himself presentable and opened the door smiling widely only to be pushed by Anika to a side. He got startled for a moment with the push. He took extra care in choosing clothes to make his look better, but Anika didn't pay any heed to it, she pushed Shivaay aside and dashed into the kitchen.

Anika opened every lid of the food container and inhaled them deeply. Couldn't resist the ultimately mouth watering dish, Anika quickly grab a plate to feed her stomach. Shivaay watched every action of hers frowning. The fact that she didn't pay any attention to him made him irritate. She not even glance at him once. There she was searching for a spoon like a hungry tigress. Her hair was done in high loose pony tail with few strands dancing there and there. Her unzipped handbag is half hanging on her shoulder and her shirt not tucked in. In short, she looked so messy and untidy but still managed to took his breath away.

Shivaay quickly marched to her and snatched the plate from her hand. Anika flabbergasted with his sudden action.

"Hey what... " before she complete comes the reply "Go and freshen up first" from Shivaay.

"Shivaay please, I'm hungry let me eat first, please " she pleaded with her puppy eyes. But it didn't work this time.

"Any problem if i eat this way?" then she saw her reflection from kitchen cabinet, "Wait! are you saying that I'm.. "

"No no, you look beautiful as always. I'm just saying that we can have a good time having dinner all fresh and clea... I mean you'll feel good too" he reasoned before Anika pounce on him with her questions.

"Ssssss...aaahh", Anika cried as the food is too spicy. When Shivaay offered her a glass of water, she denied saying she love the taste. Shivaay almost finished the whole water from the jug. Wiping off his sweat beads and unshed tears time to time, he couldn't bear the spiciness. All the dishes taste perfect with correct amount of seasoning and spices when he tested them while preparing. When and how does this mistake happened, he didn't know. Shivaay literally felt like a fire splitting dragon, he could feel the smoke coming out from his ears. At the same time, he couldn't digest the fact that how the girl sitting before him is enjoying the food that too without even having a drop of water. Is she really a human being, he doubted.

Anika totally enjoyed the food prepared by Shivaay. Her craziness for spicy food has no end and surprisingly Shivaay prepared the food up to her taste. It was super spicy yet finger licking good. Finishing her food, Anika looked at Shivaay. His whole face turned into red in colour and covered with sweat. Anika noticed some sweat beads on his shaved head. She found it funny and burst out laughing. This irritated Shivaay more, the burning spiciness only make it worst. He immediately dashed into kitchen and grabbed ice water from refrigerator. Anika felt bad and followed him. Before the ice water reach Shivaay's throat, Anika fast enough to snatch the water bottle from him.
