Okay this is not exactly a chapter as I don't want to give it in chapters but in the basis of days...
So let's say this is the continuation of the prologue so...
Prologue 2:
---Shivaay---
"Watch and learn boys" I said to my friends as I headed towards my feast for tonight.
I reached out to her and stood right behind her. She turned and gave a shocked look to me. "Hi" I said to her. She placed her palm on my chest and pushed me a little, and I moved back a little.
"Do I know you" she asked. Is she serious? She thinks she'll tell me that she doesn't know me and I'll believe her.
"Nice joke bug I'm Shivaay Singh Oberoi everybody knows me." I said, ignoring the question.
"Hi but I need to leave" she said in a hurry. Again, is she serious? Girls die for even a look from me. Oh yes I know she's playing hard to get. I took a step closer and she moved back, "Well I was thinking, if you want, we can get to know each other."
"Not interested" she said, leaving me shocked. She was about to leaved when I caught her wrist "Come on just none date, we can have dinner and then maybe-" I started pleading but she interrupted "And maybe what? Take me to your car, sweet talk me into your arms and have some hot sex. I'll pass" trying to release her wrist from my grip.
Did she just say that or are my ears ringing. "I like you, you're pretty straight forward" I said bemused. "And you're annoying!" She said getting on my nerves.
She bit her lip, trying to find something to say "Look... I really don't want to spill a soda all over u like I did to your friend earlier this morning, not just because i don't have more money to get one." I smiled a little at that, this girl surely know how to prove her point.
"But also because you came to me a little more nicer than your friend so I'll make this easier, so please lets make this rejection as simple as possible, you can keep your dignity and the popularity and I'll keep my sanity." She continued. Really is she rejecting the Shivaay Singh Oberoi
I was shocked, would be an understatement. Did she just royally reject me, but that's my part. Whatever, I over came the feeling and asked hesitant "So is that a no?"
"Yup, that's a no" she replied so casually. She just insulted me indirectly and she is so casual. How could she. She left and I walked back to my friends.
_________________________________
I walked back to my friends and directly looked at Daksh "Aww, you got rejected, didn't you?" How the hell did he know?
"Did I come back with soda all over my shirt, I don't think so. So stop guessing." I said getting frustrated. "Well you also did not come with the smug look you have on your pretty face when you get something you want" he continued.
"Maybe I did not want her" I said back, this guy can be annoying. "Was that before or after she rejected you?" He said.That's it this was too much. If looks could kill, Daksh would be dead by now.
"REJECTED" Malika yelled and my glares changed their direction. "Shut up" I said and she immediately muttered a sorry and did as instructed. I looked back at Daksh and saw a tinge of jealousy in them, but why the hell was he jealous?
"I told you Shivaay but you were all 'no one can resist my charm'" Om started breaking my thoughts and putting the air quotes around that phrase. Way to make my day much better Om.
"No one does. Do you understand? No one rejects The Shivaay Singh Oberoi " I said masking my emotions with rage. And Om rolled his eyes I was gonna comment but Shivam interrupted.
"So are you going to try again?" He asked, sounding curious and... And wicked. That was strange, this girl is really getting in my skin.
"I always get what I want" I said, confidently. "Ah-ha! So you do admit that you want Anika" Rudra made a way into the conversation. I looked at him, with the dumbest look I have ever had on my face.
"Rudy" I said in the most sweetest voice I have ever heard myself utter. "Do all of us a favor and SHUT UP!" I shouted at the end. Sorry, that was all he muttered and shut up.
"Dude, she is just going to reject you again." Daksh said continuing the conversation while Malika, Rudra and Om just listened. "No, she is not!" I said totally against the idea. "She is gonna say yes, girls say yes to me, so she also has to!" I said to him, more like telling myself.
"How much do you wanna bet she is not gonna f**k you" he asked, totally serious. "That depends on how much you wanna loose." I said accepting the indirect challenge.
"Fine, if you loose, which obviously you are... You are going to hand me over the basketball leadership." He said overwhelmed. Is he really asking for this. What is wrong with him? But I can't tell this to him right now, we'll talk later.
"Fine but if I win, which I probably am. What do I get?" I asked agreeing to his demand. "What do you want?" he asked casually.
I thought for a while and asked him "Your dad owns that auto repair shop right?" Though I knew the answer already.
"One of the best in the country" he said, pride dripping from every word if his sentence. "Okay then, when I win I want you to fix up my car, the engine and everything... For free." C'mon Shivaay can't you think of something better, was all I thought after I said those words. What can I do, I have everything.
Daksh chuckled and said "Yeah, that's cool but only on one condition." Isn't the whole bet his condition? But well what does this guy want now. "You have to sleep with her before your birthday"he continued.
Wait my birthday's coming up, okay. But then that's in two weeks. I looked at him shocked as soon as the realization hit me. "But that us in two weeks!" I exclaimed.
"What you think you can't do it" he replied. This guy surely knew how to hurt someone's ego. "I can do it" I replied slightly gritting my teeth.
"Woah woah woah" I heard Om intervene. "For your kind information guys, you might be kings at your home but you are not the kings of the whole world" I so knew this was coming but he unusually delayed it.
"What rights do you have to hurt someone's feelings, that girl isn't a toy to play around with. You guys are planning on using and throwing probably the most sane and sensible girl in the college. Why? Because she doesn't care who you are and doesn't go all fainting over you guys. Accept it guys she has guts to hurt you enormous ego and your out for revenge."
"Are you done" I asked, irritated. "And who the hell told you I'm bit doing this for revenge Om, that girl insulted me, she deserves it" Daksh said, interrupting me.
"And why the hell are you talking now? After everything is decided and set." I asked, frustrated.
"Because, I thought you were better than this. I thought you would at least stop this from happening, but no, you want to enjoy... Then enjoy, I'm leaving." He yelled at me and stomped out if the canteen.
"Okay then... Two weeks" he said, relieved and extending his hand towards me. "Deal?" He asked. Shivaay Singh Oberoi never backs out, I reminded myself.
"Deal." I accepted, shaking his hand.

--Afterschool--
---Shivaay---
I was waiting by her locker and she came up to me and asked "Do you always stalk people?" Annoyed, sarcastic and mockingly.
"Look" I started, what was her name again. I was deep in thought when "You don't even remember my name, do you?" Am I becoming so predictable. "No, I do" I practically yelled at her. She was shocked for a moment then composed herself and asked me "Then tell me, what is it?"
I remember how can I forget ummm... Preeti, no Anuskha, Anita? AINIKA! Yes it's Anika. "Anika, it's Anika" I said almost instantly.
She rolled her eyes "Look, I'm not your type" she started to justify but I interrupted "Girls are my type." I said with a tinge of flirtation in it.
"What a total clich" she said with a fake smile, which gradually turned into a frown "Do I need to spill soda all over you so you can understand, I do not want to go out with you. So stop trying." She yelled on the top of her lungs. Good thing no one was present in the locker room or I would've been embarrassed like hell.
Then she started walking away.
---Anika---
I started walking away from Shivaay, but just when I thought that I have left him behind, he caught up to me.
"Okay, I know your playing hard to get, but it's okay, I like it when I have challenges." He said. Ugh!! I so can't believe that he is serious. I stopped walking and looked at him.
"I'm not playing hard to get. Scratch that, I'm not playing anything with you. Why don't you understand, I don't wanna do anything with you." I yelled at him.
"Look Anika, many girls get intimidated by my popularity, so it's okay for you to be nervous." I can't believe he is doing this again. "Let me make it easier for you, pick you up at 8, tonight." He continued adding a wink at the end. Oh my god this guy is so full of himself.
I laughed and said "You are so full of yourself, you seriously think that you are the best thing that has ever happened to anyone, don't you?"
"That's cause, I am." He said, confident.
"Well not for me, neither do I get hugely nervous around you nor do I get intimated by you 'massive' popularity." I said putting air quotes around massive. "And as a matter of fact I didn't even know who you were." That was a lie.
"Seriously, no need to pretend." He said with that smug look. How did he get that. I did not know what to say next so I started walking towards the door of the building and walked into the parking lot but he tailed behind. This guy is so irritating.
"Your unbelievable." I muttered and stopped at my car. I turned to him and said "Well this was an interesting conversation but I need to leave now."
"Is that a yes for tonight?" He asked, hopeful. I looked at him in disbelief, is he serious. "You never give up, do you?" I asked him back.
He simply shook his head and replied "Nope." I sighed and said "Look Shivaay, why don't you find someone else, someone easier for that fact. I need to go to work." Did I really have to say that.
"Where do you work?" He asked almost instantly. Did he really think that naive of me.
"I'm not gonna fall for your games Shivaay. So how about you give up." I said and sat in my car, closed the door and zoomed off. Not giving him any chance to speak.
---Shivaay ---
I stood there in the middle of bathe college parking lot, dumbstruck. No girl has ever dumped me and this girl had the hits to walk out on me, scratch that drive off on me.
I was walking towards my car when I saw one of Anika's friends. I did not know her name, well better to know it now.
---Anika---
I walked into my house and saw Somu and Prinku sitting on the couch watching some non-reaslistic chick flick. "Hi." I said. "Hi" said Prinku and a pat next to her on the couch. I sat beside her and started watching the movie. Really, the whole idea of love and relationship in movies is so fake mostly it is something like, good girl and the bad guy fall for each other.
Bad guy was just playing with the good girl, and the good girl falls for him. He stays in denial but then realises that he also loves her then the girl gets to know that he was playing with her, she dumps, he cries, she cries. She moves on, he chases her and finally she forgives him.
Pathetic.
But who can deny I was like that once.
But now I have better thing to do than fall in love. Like going to my room and getting dressed up.
"Do you want me to come to the restaurant with you?" I asked Somu getting up from the couch and heading towards the stairs to my room.
She had a job in a restrurant
"Yeah it's Friday and it's gonna be pretty much hectic. If you wanna give a hand please come." She said not even looking up at me.
"Okay, I'll call Ishana also." I said to her and she gave me a faint nod and a quick smile.
--At Evening--
I was taking someone's order as the waiters and waitresses were too busy today, like every other Friday night. Yeah I don't know why but I thought that the half or at least one-fourth of Mumbai's population came here every Friday.
"Miss?" The man asked me politely bringing me out of my thoughts. I apologised quickly and gave the order to the chefs. Whenever I worked at my mom's restaurant I always worked in the V.I.P section. Call it pride or whatever but I hated to go to the normal section. There were always romantic couples and yeah the high schoolers and everyone who I think will break up after a very minimal amount of time.
But the thing was today, there were not many people in this section. I was told to serve Table no. 23. Now where was it. Ha there it is I thought as soon as I spotted the long metal rod emerging out of a table with number 23 written in gold with a black background.
I approached the table and began searching for my pen and writing pad constantly saying "Hello I'm Anika , your waitress for tonight. Would you like to order something." I completed and deciding to spare the person a look.
"What are you doing here." I asked as soon as I saw the person's face. SSO. Do I have to really need to spill a soda over him.
"Felt like eating." He replied very casually. Oh really, I'm not buying any of that. "How did you know that I worked here? Are you a stalker or something!" I said raising my voice at him at the end.
"Woah, don't flatter yourself. I'm not stalking you. I'm simply a hungry customer wanting food and yeah I come here very often." He said. I'm not buying any of that either. This person does not know who I am. And then why haven't I seen him yet.
"Then why haven't I seen you around ." I asked him. "You haven't seen me around but Somuya has. I'm one of her favorite customer but she won't even remember your name." He said in a very mocking way.
Oh so he did not know who I was, interesting.
"Now, are you going to take my order or just stand there and stare at me." He said with that smirk I wanted to slap off "I mean I don't mind as long as you're here." He stated and added a wink at the end.
"What do you want?" I scoffed.
"Well for a drink a coke please." He smirked. What did this guy find so amusing.
"I'll be back." I told as I finished writing that down.
"Please do." He smirked the infamous SSO smirk. Again. I gave him a short glare and walked off. I saw Ishana waiting for me.
Ishana and I usually hung out at Somu's restaurant but sometimes when it was too busy I served as a waitress and she gave me a hand while chatting with me constantly.
"Want something?" She asked. "Yeah get me a coke." I replied.
"Here" She said handing me the coke. I thanked her and walked back to Shivaay.
I gave him the coke and asked "So ready to order?"
"Yeah, I think I'll just have a steak. It wasn't my first choice but what I really want wasn't on the menu." He replied looking down at the menu. What'd I he want.
"What did you want?" I asked him.
He looked up at me and replied "You." Adding the smirk at the end.
"Ha, so cute." I said glaring at him. "I'll be back with your steak." I said walking away.
"I'll be waiting." He replied back. I rolled my eyes and headed to the kitchen.
Somu was giving orders to all the chefs and I gave her the slip of Shivaay's order I which it was neatly written New York Steak (Burnt). Somu read this and looked at me surprised a little.
"What's this?" She asked me.
"I was shocked too, the customer said he hates it when the stake is not well done practically burnt on the outside." I replied as innocently as I could.
"Okay then burnt it is." She replied giving the instructions to a chef as I smiled mischievously.
Twenty minutes later my mom screamed 'burnt steak' and I went towards her and thanked her and walked back to Shivaay.
I placed the steak in front of him and he looked at it horrified.
"Would you like something else too Mr. SSO." I asked with a sweet smile.
"Yeah, how about something edible." He said looking at the steak gulping.
"Isn't this what you ordered." I said.
"I ordered steak not a piece of charcoal." He said grossed.
---Shivaay ---
She laughed and said "This is your steak, silly." And started walking away. Oh no she ain't getting away so easily. I grabbed her arm causing her to turn around and scowl at him accompanied by a "What?"
"What will happen if I told the owner what you did to my steak." I asked anger taking over my words.
"Nothing." She replied, challenging me with those big eyes of hers.
"And why is that?" I asked impatient.
"Because my bestfriend is the owner." She spat.
What!! She is Soumya 's bestfriend . I didn't know that. Just on cue Soumya came over us and recognised me instantly.
"Shivaay." She said rather surprised. "I didn't know you liked burnt steaks. Well how is it?" She asked.
"It is perfect." I replied. She must've worked hard in it.
"How would you know, you didn't even taste it yet." Anika intervened and I glared at her.
"So true, how about you eat it and tell me, come on eat it." She urged me to rather forced me to.
I unwillingly cut a piece from the steak and ate it. I swear I would have spitted it out that instant if Anika or her bestfriend wouldn't be here. And I swallowed it. I am genuinely sorry stomach.
"It's great." I replied back as cheerfully as I could.
"Good then." She said back.
"Well I'm gonna go now."Anika started.
I was gonna ask her to stop but her mom spoke before me.
"Actually, I think we have enough staff to look over all of this. You sit and enjoy with your friend."
I smirked but Anika objected "Oh no thats ok, he likes eating alone."
"Actually, I hate it." I said as soon as she completed her sentence. I smiled at her and she returned the gesture with a glare.
"Don't worry Anika is going to stay with you." Somuya said in a stern voice, directed towards Anika
(Somuya is like mother for all of them and they won't ever hurt her or disobey her )
"Aww, thank you Anika." I said to Anika and she rolled her eyes.
"Well I have to get back to work." Somuya said walking away.
As soon as she left, Anika sat across me and asked "Now get to the point, what do you want from me?"
I sighed and said "I already made it clear but I repeat go out with me."
"I'm not your type." She retorted.
"Yes, you are."
"Fine, you're not my type."
This girl is the queen of sarcasm.
"Sure." I replied sarcastically.
"I don't like you SSO." She said to me.
"Please just give me one chance." I said.
"No." She replied sternly.
"Please, at least give me two weeks to impress you." I pleaded remembering the time span of the bet.
"Two weeks?" She asked, interested.
"Yup and if I can't, I'll leave you alone for good." I said getting a little happy. She is falling right into my trap.
She thought for awhile and replied "Fine then you have 14 Days."
