The man in the elevator

I was ready to go I picked up Alya and Mukti and then we went to pick up Navya it was her wedding after few days and we all were so excited and tonight was the night to party I was throwing her a bachelorette party and it is going to be a fun night. She had no idea about what I have planned for her even Alya and Mukti had no idea about it "Okay Nandini, tell me what's on the agenda for today and tonight and why we had to pack an overnight bag" she asked as she entered the car "You'll see when we get there." I smiled. The car pulled up to the curb of the Taj Mahal Hotel and all eyes grew wide. "Nandini what have you planned?" Alya asked. I smiled as the driver opened the door and we all stepped out of the car. "Our day starts here," I said. As we walked through the doors of the hotel, we were instantly greeted by the manager. "Mrs. Malhotra, welcome to the Taj Mahal Hotel" "Thank you," I said as the bell boy took our bags and led us to the elevator. When we reached the Presidential Suite, I put the card key in the slot and opened the door. "This is huge us all alone in here" Navya squealed. "I think I've died and gone to Heaven," Mukti said "I have hairstylists and makeup artists for each of us coming in to do our hair and make up for tonight." I smiled. "Shut the front door!" Alya screamed as she threw her arms around me "Nandini this is amazing" shouted Navya and hugged me so did Mukti and I just smiled "guys one min" I grabbed my phone from my purse and looked at the time. "Okay girls we have spa appointments in five minutes we are all getting the works Massage, facial, manicures, and pedicures" As we walked out of the suite, Alya looped her arm around me. "You sure know how to do it up girl am sure Navya will have a great time" she smiled. We all changed into our robes and slippers from the spa. I realized that I had left my phone in the suite and I needed to keep it on me in case there was an emergency with Aarav. "I will be right back. I left my phone in the room" I said as I got up and walked out of the spa.

While I stood and waited for the elevator, I couldn't stop thinking about Manik and how I already was starting to miss him. I was beginning to regret not telling him my plans, but I knew he wouldn't approve of the nightlife with his safety issues and all. When the elevator doors opened I gasped and I stood there unable to move. The man inside of the elevator looked at me and I looked at him. As I swallowed hard my heart began beating rapidly from the way he was staring at me. His mysterious eyes studied me as they looked me up and down. "Which floor miss?" he asked. "Thirty-fifth please" "Spa?" he asked as he stared at the robe I was wearing. "Yes I am throwing a bachelorette party for my best friend" I answered as I bit my bottom lip. The elevator stopped at the thirty-fifth floor and we both stepped out. "Have a good time at the bachelorette party hopefully, I'll run into you again" He smiled as I turned right and he turned left. I smiled and nodded my head as I thanked him and walked to my room. I took the key from the pocket of my robe and as I slid it in I turned my head and looked in the direction he went only to find him staring at me. I opened the door quickly stepped inside the room and shut it. Backing up against the door I let out deep breaths as my heart pounded rapidly in my chest. What the hell is wrong with me? I walked over to where my phone sat on the table and checked it. There weren't any messages from Manik or my Mother in law. As I checked my phone I couldn't stop thinking about the elevator the man in it and the way he looked at me. My heart began to beat fast again I try to distract myself on the way back as I am here for Navya nothing else.

After the spa session we went back to the room to get ready for our party tonight hairstylists were already present "Nandini this is amazing I can't describe in words" she was so happy that is what I wanted as Cabir went for an urgent meeting just before the wedding and she was too upset I just wanted her to have some fun. What made her more happy when I gave a tiara to the hairstylist which had bride-to-be written on it she screamed and hugged me. We were all busy in getting ready when room service bought a delivery I answered the door as the trays of chocolates and cheese crackers were delivered to the room but we didn't ordered any. Taking the card from the tray I read who these are from.

"A little gift for you and your girls

I hope you enjoy it

Regards: the man from the elevator"

"Who's it from?" Alya asked "It's just from the hotel staff" I lied. I smiled as I read the note and once again my heart started racing at the thought of him the mystery of him got under my skin. I couldn't believe he sent the trays and that he was thinking about me. "Nandini Where are you lost?" Navya said as she snapped her fingers. I looked at her in confusion "What?" "You looked like you were stuck or something. What's going on with you?" "Nothing I was just thinking about Aarav" I replied. Once my hair and makeup were done, I stepped into my bedroom and took out the dress I had bought. As I slipped it on I looked in the mirror. The sleeveless short silvery beaded dress was perfect for tonight "Look at you hot and sexy mama" Mukti said as she walked into the room "That dress is hot and your open hairstyle really complements it. I don't think Manik would approve of you looking like that without him by your side" "Manik is not here is he?" I smiled. "No he's not but you better be careful because you are going to have all the guys drooling on the floor" I laughed as I put on my silver heeled Jimmy Choo, everyone looked amazing. Before leaving the suite I took out the white sash that was embellished with the words "Bride to be" on it and put it on Navya. "There now your outfit is complete" I smiled. Navya hugged me "thank you Nandini I couldn't ask anything more before my wedding" I smile and hugged her back we were about to leave when there was a knock at the door. As I opened it the bell boy handed me a piece of white paper i opened it

"I'm sitting at the bar in the hotel

If you can join me even for a few minutes I would appreciate it

Regards: the man from the elevator"

My rapidly beating pulse was about to give away my nervousness as I turned to the group and told them I'd be right back that the manager needed to see me downstairs. As I grabbed my small clutch I told them I'd meet them in the car in about twenty minutes. I took the elevator down to the lobby and walked to the bar.

As I saw him sitting on the bar stool the nervous butterflies in my stomach were fluttering their wings like crazy. Why was I doing this? How could I do this? He turned his head and his eyes burned through me. I nervously walked over and sat down on the stool next to him. "I wasn't sure if you would show up" he said as he picked up his glass "I wanted to thank you for the chocolate and cheese trays you sent to my room that was very nice of you but you didn't have to do that" "I know I didn't but I thought you and your female companions would enjoy it did you enjoy it?" he asked as he stared into my eyes "Yes very much thank you for that" I replied as my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest" "Would you like a drink?" "No thank you I don't drink "really you don't drink I am impressed" I smile "would you object if I told you how stunning you look?" "Thank you," I said as I looked down. "I see you're married" he said as he looked at my ring "Yes I am and I have a baby at home" I glanced over at his hand to see if he was wearing a ring and he was. "I see you're married as well" He looked at me with a smirk. "Yes I am but that doesn't stop me from looking at beautiful women apparently it doesn't stop you either because you're sitting here with me" I gulped as I got up from the stool. He reached over and placed his hand on mine as an electrical shock shot through my body. "Thank you for coming down and meeting me" I looked at him and moved my hand away "I have to go thank you again for the trays" I said as I walked out of there as fast as I could.

I walk towards the car everyone was waiting for me "are you okay?" asked Navya "yes I am fine let's get going" we reach to our destination that is space academy the place where we all meet the place where Navya and me became friends the place where Cabir and Navya became soul mates "Nandini you got us here" all three girls looked at me "yes come on lets go inside" as I have arranged the whole college to ourselves as obvious it belongs to my husband. I took them towards the jam room the fab5 jam room which was still intact with their works now that they are the leading and most successful band it was all decorated full of there posters and our most favorite quote

"The place where it all begin"

Navya was happy to be here they all saw everything and remises the old memories of the days we spend here and moved out to see the whole college as it been quite a while we came here I sat on the place where me and Manik meet for the first time but i couldn't stop thinking about the man from the elevator and how it felt when he touched me. Then suddenly I felt the Need to see if I had any missed calls or text messages I pulled my phone from my clutch and saw nothing. I wondered what Manik was doing as its weird no calls or text from him and I felt like I needed to text him.

"Hi hubi I just want to make sure you are okay and so is Aarav?"

A few minutes later a reply from him came.

"Hey baby I am fine in a meeting and Aarav is with his grand mom How about you?"

"Yeah I am fine too I just wanted to tell you that I love you" I typed with guilt.

"I love you too Remember to stay safe"

"I will"

We all were enjoying to the core after little way around on space we moved to our next destination which was club max as being with Manik and fab5 really got me and Navya to go in disc and enjoy as it was her night we decided to hit the music. Girls were really happy as we entered they moved to the dance floor while I was not feeling in the mood to dance so moved to sit on the tables nearby. I ordered myself a glass of mock tail and took a sip my throat was being to dry Suddenly, I was startled by a voice in my ear. "Well isn't this a coincidence seeing you here It must be fate" a voice whispered as his scent captured me and his hot breath warmed my neck. Once again my heart started beating fast. "Are you following me?" I asked without turning around. "I was just about to ask you the same question" "I told you before that it's my best friend's bachelorette party" "Ah that's right" he said as he traced his fingers on my shoulder my skin started to heat up at his touch "Am I making you uncomfortable?" he asked "Just a bit" I answered nervously "I apologize you better get back to your friends" he whispered as he leaned in closer to me and I felt his lips slightly touch my neck "Hold on Let them pass" he whispered in my ear. I gulped and as my senses came back I saw a gang of boys passing by as they left he grabbed my waist and pulled me towards him "close your eyes and don't look but hold out your hand" he instructed I did what he asked and I held my hand out in front of me He put a piece of white paper in it and then he closed my hand "Don't let anybody see that Its only for you" he whispered and then walked away in the opposite direction I opened my hand and unfolded the piece of paper

My room tonight after your party

Room 4790

I will be there waiting for you.

As I stood there staring at the note I heard Alya calling me she pulled me to the dance floor I just wanted to forget about what just happened we danced a lot till we were tired and I started enjoying myself forgetting about him and the paper he gave me. It was quite late when we got back to the hotel everyone was so tired so they moved towards the room while I took out the paper from the clutch and looked at it and moved towards the elevator. This room was on the top floor of the hotel. I took in a deep breath and stepped off the elevator. I knocked quietly on the door of Room 4790. Immediately the door opened and he stood there with a smile on his face "Please come in" he said "I wasn't sure if you would show" "I wasn't sure if I would either" I said as I stepped inside his room "I would offer you a drink but as you said you don't drink?" I nodded with a faint smile "so" he said as he walked closer to me took my clutch from my hands and threw it on the chair. He stood in front of me and as I looked down he with his finger lifted my chin up until I was forced to look at him "Someone as beautiful as you should never be looking down" As I took in a sharp breath he took his hand and caress by face "You're so stunning from the moment I saw you I wanted you I know you felt it too I could tell by the look in your beautiful eyes. Did you feel something?" I nodded my head lightly as his gaze held mine "Say it I want to hear you say that you felt something when you saw me" "I felt something" I whispered. He leaned closer to me gently sucked my bottom lip and then looked at me and without further ado his mouth crashed into mine as my lips parted slightly allowing his tongue to explore my mouth we were kissing each other hungrily without leaving he bit my lower lip making my moan I bit is upper lip making him groan we kissed till and pulled away in need of oxygen. he had me against the wall he cupped my face and kissed my eyes and forehead and bit my ear lope making me moan again his effect was making me crazy he started dropping wet kisses on my nape moving downwards I couldn't do anything just feel the pleasure which was creating a havoc inside me. He moved upwards gazed at me with his eyes burning with fire and took me up in his arms moving towards the bed and placed me on it.

He came on top of me and dropped kisses on my lips "Well played, Mrs Malhotra" he smirked. "so did you Mr Malhotra" I laughed. He moved and rested on the side I placed my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me "Please say you will stay with me tonight instead of going back to your room I can't sleep alone you know that right?" "Of course I will stay here I love you so much Manik" I said as I placed a kiss on his heart. "And I love you more Nandini" "Did you know I was here? I asked. "No I had no idea you would be here as you told me nothing about this just that you will arrange a party for Navya, I had a meeting here I told you about remember and when the elevator doors opened I saw you standing there you took my breath away and I felt like it was my first time ever seeing you that's why I wanted to pretend that I didn't know you and when you played along that's when I decided to play it out" "We should do this more often" I smiled as I rolled over and his arms tightened around me as he softly kissed my back he whispered "We are going to have a little talk about it in the morning about you partying here alone without me and all the boys ogling on you an most obvious your dress" I smiled as I closed my eyes and drop into flashbacks.

It all seems like a dream 4 years back meeting him in Space listening him sing falling for him the minute I saw him. Being together for quite some time then our marriage and when Aarav came to our lives we felt complete. My man is angry, arrogant, and impulsive from outside yet the most romantic, loving and caring guy ever. His whole world revolves around me and Aarav and I am the luckiest person to have him. i open my eyes and feel his grip tighten around me I know without me he can't even sleep I smile and get lost in the world of dreams because tomorrow morning my hubi will definitely take my class of doing all this without his concern knowing how worried he gets when I don't tell him stuff and do things on my own but I know how to handle him.
