Annika frowned as they reached Malabar Hills. She turned her face to see Shivaay taking turn towards a wide colony.
"Where are we?", she asked.
"Malabar hills?", he asked in obvious way. She rolled her eyes.
"Okay. Let me rephrase, why are we here in Malabar Hills?", she asked again.
"You'll see", he winked. She huffed wrapping arms across her chest leaning to headrest.
Annika saw them entering in the campus of the posh area which has a really beautiful and luxurious white villa. As they drove ahead, she saw the entire campus was surrounded by flowers and creepers. He parked the car at driveway and unbuckled his belt.
"Will you say something", she asked again. He got down and opened the door of her side. He gave his hand which she held and got down.
"Welcome to my home baby", he grinned making her look at him confused and amazed.
"This is your home? I mean Oberoi mansion-", he cut her in between.
"Actually I live here mostly as Allure is near from here, I stay up till late night in office mostly so driving all the way to home is really tiring, that's why mostly I stay here", he said stepping towards main door. She followed him nodding.
"That's nice", she said and he opened the door. She smiled widely looking around. The exterior of house was mostly made of glass and windows which gave interior a beautiful look. It was the contrast of black, coffee brown and white. She kept her bag on the couch, looking around.
"Come I show you around", he said holding her palm. She nodded and he started the tour of his home. It was a two story villa. On ground floor, it was living room, kitchen, sitting area near the stairs and two guest rooms.
"So, don't you feel lonely here?", she asked as she sat down on the the counter of kitchen. He was preparing coffee for them.
"Not really. I anyways stay here only for night. Else, Om, Rudy and Arnav stays here often. Sometimes even Malika comes for hanging out on weekends if I am here", he said pouring coffee in cup. She nodded.
"Quite a lot of space go just stay at night though", she muttered making him chuckle.
He passed her to coffee cup to her and took his black coffee. As soon as she took a sip, she moaned in delight making him look at her.
"Mahn!! You make some barista style coffee", she moaned making him smile. Leaning to her, he placed his either hands on the side of slab.
"I would love to be your personal barista", he winked. She giggled caressing his cheek. She ran her fingers on his stubble and pressed a small kiss on his jaw.
"I am happy to have this personal barista", she said. He closed the distance between them, she cupped his cheek, leaning in to his touch. She smiled as he joined their forehead together and it got wider as he rubbed their nose together.
These all were new feelings for her. The tingling in her body, the sensation occuring as he touches her, each time. The kisses they share were passionate and soft. The way he kisses her forehead, palm or hair time to time, just out of habit, melts her heart.
"Where are you lost?", she snapped hearing his voice to see him looking at her confused. She shook her head.
"Come I show you upstairs", he said holding her hand and helped her get down. She nodded and both walked upstairs.
The first floor was solely of Shivaay. It had his bedroom, a study room, bathroom and a gym room. Everything was in contrast of black, brown and grey just like the ground floor. His entire home screams modern, elegance and beauty.
"So how's everything?", he asked. Their hands were entwined with each others. They're going towards his room.
"It's really beautiful. Your house is awesome Shivaay", she exclaimed. He smiled heartily.
He opened the door of his room and let her go inside. She wanted inside. His room was different from his room back in Oberoi mansion as she has gone to his room once. That had contrast of different shades of blue.
The room here, had contrast of coffee brown and beige. A celling to floor window was giving the view of the garden, outside. Suddenly she squealed making him walk to her. She was standing at the threshold of balcony.
"You've balcony in your room! You know I love rooms with balconies", she grinned. He smiled wrapping arm around her shoulder.
"I know. You also have one in your room right?", he asked. She nodded grinning.
"Btw, how do you?", she narrowed her eyes. He shrugged smiling.
"Are you stalking me, Mr. Oberoi?", she asked playfully. Her hand reached to his collar fixing it.
"What if I am Ms. D'souza?", he raised his eyebrow, moving his arm from her shoulder to her waist.
"Stalking is not a good thing mister", she said coming in front of him. He caged her between his arms.
"Yeah? I don't care", he winked and pecked her nose. She giggled scrunching.
"Definitely", she moved her hand to his cheek, caressing his stubble. He leaned to her touch. Their face was just few inches away. He titled his face and brushed his lips against hers, she closed her eyes with smile. He was going to kiss her when her phone started ringing, startling both of them.
She looked down blushing while he groaned.
"If it's anyone from those 6 monkey, I am firing them", he scowled. She chuckled slapping his chest and took out her phone from pocket.
"Yup Gauri", she said making Shivaay groan more.
"Annika where are you?", Gauri asked.
"I uh- with Shivaay! Why?", annika asked back.
"Oh so you're in Oberoi mansion? Fine then", she sighed.
"No Gauri. I am at Shivaay's house. He has brought me to show it", Annika said. Shivaay actioned her to keep call on speaker. She did so.
"Oh shit! Annika.. You won't be able to come home today", both looked at each other confused.
"Why Gauri?", it was Shivaay who asked this time.
"Bhaiya, actually there's a kind of long traffic here at the flyover. She won't be able to come home as the traffic is till our locality. Thanks to god, me and Bhavya reached back before it go intense", Gauri explained. Annika's mouth opened wide and a frown comes on her head.
"Ab main kya karun?", she said worried.
"Annika, you're at Bhaiya's home right. You can stay there", Gauri said.
"But-", she stopped as Shivaay cut in between.
"Of course she can. You guys don't worry. Annika will be safe here", he said.
"If she's with you, I am sure she's safe", Gauri said. He smiled lightly.
"Umm..okay, I will stay here", Annika mumbled.
"Yay! Great then. We'll inform you in morning if traffic has sorted or not", Gauri said.
"Hmm. Close the doors and windows properly and stay safe both of you", Annika said.
"Of course mumma", Gauri said playfully making her roll her eyes. Shivaay chuckled.
"Enjoy new couple", she teased and kept the call before Annika could say anything. She shook her head.
"You're really protective, aren't you?", he asked.
"Those two are very precious to me. Like my soul sisters and they're really careless so I need to be protective and concerned one", she chuckled.
"And look who's talking. The most protective man I have ever seen", she commented.
"My loved ones are precious to me, I live for them. Now it includes you", he cups her face and kisses her forehead. She smiles.
"So you're fine if I stay here?", she asked. He looked at her in disbelief.
"Of course baby. I am more than fine with you staying over. Actually I wanted to spend time with you. In past one week, we both were busy and then next week, fashion show is there. I really wanted some good time with you", he said holding her shoulders.
She smiled and wrapped her arms around his torso and took him in a warm hug.
"Even I missed you", she mumbled against his chest. He smiled and kept his face on her hair.
They parted and he caressed her hair. She was just looking at him with a smile.
"Tomorrow, I am not gonna let you go soon tomorrow", he winked making her chuckle.
"What's the plan?", she held his collars.
"Should I tell, Annika?", he asked nearing to her face. She giggled pushing his face other side.
"Okay let's go down. Let me introduce to your chef boyfriend", he said bowing down a bit.
"Oh really! I am excited to see it", she said feigning surprise making both of them chuckle.
"Um..Shivaay", she called out as they were going downstairs. He hummed looking at her.
"Does Malika leaves over any clothes of her?", she asked making him widen his eyes.
"Of course not! All are my clothes here. You won't find any clothes of a girl", he said.
"I was getting little uncomfortable in my clothes so I thought maybe I could change", she sighed looking at her denim shorts and netted cami top. The fabric was literally pricking her stomach now.
"Oh! Btw I have solution for it", he said went towards the bathroom. She stayed there confused. She was looking around tapping her feet when he came back.
"Maybe you can wear them?", he asked showing his boxer shorts and a t-shirt. She looked at them and then at him, taking the clothes.
"Fine with me. I just wanna come out of these right now", she pointed at herself. He chuckled.
"Then take a shower, relax yourself and change. I will be downstairs, come soon", he said went outside not before dropping a kiss on her forehead, bringing smile on his face.
"And Annika..", he could out again making her stop. She looked at him standing near the door. She hummed asking him to go ahead.
"Make yourself feel like at home", her heart warmed hearing it. She nodded.
"I will", she smiled. He grinned going downstairs.

After taking a warm shower, Annika dressed up into his boxer shorts and t-shirt. It looked two size larger than her body's. Being loose, Annika made the t-shirt, one shoulder.
Tying a bun, she walked downstairs to find Shivaay in the kitchen. He was not wearing his coat and sleeves of his shirt was folded till elbows showing veins of his arms perfectly.
"Hey", she said walking to him and jumped to the counter, sitting there.
"Hey baby", he flashed his wide smile towards her, "someone is looking amazing in my clothes", he teased making her giggle.
"I am really feeling better now. You know relaxed", she commented slumping back. He smiled cutting tomatoes.
"What are you cooking?", she asked.
"Spaghetti with sauted vegetables and garlic bread with mashroom and cheese salad. I hope you're okay with it", he said smiling.
"I am good with food", she commented sheepishly. He chuckled at her cuteness and kissed her cheek turning it pink.
"You're so adorable", he said making her blush. She tucked her unruly hair behind the ear. He came in front of her and caged her in between his arms. She slowly looked up. He leaned down bringing a small smile on her face.
"You're the most beautiful girl I have never seen", he said softly cupping her cheeks. Her smile got wide and she kissed his left cheek cupping the right one.
Both were looking at each other with smile. His forehead was touching hers, her hands were on his cheeks. Glancing once in her eyes, he looked down at her lips. She leaned in and their lips met.
His hands slowly glided to her waist, going down to her hips gripping them. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He groaned as she played with his hair locks giving him a unique satisfaction and pleasure he has never felt before.
His mouth tasted more delicious than any delicacy she has ever tried before. His soft and warm lips generated a heat inside her. She gasped as she felt his fingers touched her waist sneaking inside the shirt. She clutched his hair as he deepened the kiss.
They parted breathing uneven. His lips were still brushing over hers making them breathe under the same air. She looked in his eyes to see them turning darker. Current rushed on her spine.
He bent to her shoulder. She gulped feeling his warm breath on her neck. Her toes curled in as she felt his lips on her collarbone. She gripped his shoulder, digging her nails and he sucked her propping bone. He trailed the kiss from her collarbone to her nape. She arched just to give more access to him. He placed wet and warm kisses on her nape. She moaned as he sucked the skin behind her neck. She never knew this area was extremely sensitive.
"Shivaay", she moaned as he gently bit her earlobe. He snapped open his eyes hearing her voice and realised their position.
He leaned back to see her closed eyes, laboured and heaving breath with bright pink cheeks. She opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Did I crossed my limits?", he asked with eyes glistened in worry. She looked at him in disbelief.
"Of course not Shivaay. You had my consent. Don't you?", she asked softly and cupped his cheeks. He smiled softly and held her right palm kissing it.
She smiled seeing this and he pulled her in a tight hug. She snuggled in him kissing above his heart region over the shirt.
"That means, you liked my touch huh?", he teased playing with her hair. She slapped on his shoulder burying her face in his chest making him laugh.
The ting sound of oven broke their moment.
"I think we should have some dinner. Aren't you hungry?", he asked caressing her cheek with the pad of his thumb. Her cheeks were still pink and warm from their moments.
"I am damn hungry", she pouted. He chuckled and pecked it. While he was taking out the breads, she set the table with other dishes.
He came back with breads and both settled down. Serving themselves, she took the first bite of spaghetti. An explosion of flavours occured in her mouth making her moan.
"Yum..what spaghetti mahn! Shivaay these are so tasty", she complimented digging in to have more.
"I am glad you liked it", he said taking his own meal.
"Like? This food is heaven", she said eating. He chuckled and wiped the sauce from corner of her mouth.
"You're just being my dream man, day by day", she commented putting some salad in her place.
"Really?", he asked. He was really happy hearing it. He always want to be the one she wants.
"Mhm. You are understanding, supportive, caring, really sweet, not to forget really handsome", he chuckled as she grinned at last, "and you even cook so well", she sighed happily.
"I am happy to be your dream man and become the reality", he said kissing her knuckles. She smiled as he didn't left her hand instead entwined eating from his other hand.
She was just living her dream. A perfect career, loving friends and an amazing boyfriend. She wants everything to stay same. She just want to stay happy.
