Ch-11 Part-B
Part-A
Shivaay was having a hard time controlling himself. True, he had been taking it slow to take revenge of some sorts, but there was another reason to it- his hormones were taking him overdrive, and he didn't want to overwhelm her. He wanted to keep things slow, and in his control, because he knew that if he let go, he'd end up doing something they both weren't ready for. Well, atleast he knew she wasn't ready for.
But then she had gone on and called him out on it, and the fire, the passion he had seen in her eyes, had been his undoing. He pulled her close, crushing their bodies together this time. Instead of attacking her lips, his mouth went towards that creamy, exposed neck of hers. He buried his head there, inhaling her intoxicating scent that was a strange mixture of jasmines and something spicy, something he couldn't quite put a finger on. It was unique, he thought, just like her. He placed peppery kisses all over her neck, while Annika let out low moans of pleasure. Rubbing his nose along the length of her neck, he reached the sleeve of her top. Slightly moving it aside, he grinned when he saw that she was wearing a lacy, red bra inside. Several thoughts instantly flooded his mind, such as how red suited her so well, and whether or not she was wearing matching underwear...
That thought made him groan, and Annika emerged from the dreamy state she had retired to. Pulling him by his hair to see his face, she looked at him with quizzical brows.
"What's wrong?" She asked, a little skeptical about the answer since she was afraid that she had done something wrong. With the kind of inexperience she had, from lack of even watching any intimate scenes in movies since they gave her michmichis, her fear was understandable. And although Shivaay had told her that he had never done anything as such with any of his girlfriends, he was still a man who knew for sure what to do, and how to do it.
"Nothing," Shivaay whispered to her, smoothing out her hair a bit.
"No, tell me. Did I do something wrong?" She asked him with wide, innocent eyes.
"Huh?" Shivaay was confused. "Why would you think you did something wrong?"
"It's just that, you made this noise and I, I thought maybe you weren't pleased or... why are you laughing?"
Shivaay couldn't believe his nave Annika. Did she really think he wasn't pleased? Oh God, if only she knew, he thought as he rested his head on her shoulder, while his shook from the uncontrollable laughter. Annika frowned in annoyance.
When Shivaay was finally able to compose himself, he looked up and placed a kiss on her forehead endearingly.
"You're too innocent, you know that?" He asked her, while looking at her lovingly.
When Annika only frowned, he shook his head and placed a soft peck on her swollen lips.
"My dear girlfriend, men don't groan when they are displeased. In fact, they groan when they are... pleased beyond measure, per say." He said huskily into her ears.
Annika blushed at that.
"Oh." She said stupidly, and as Shivaay only continued to stare at her with those dreamy, kanji eyes of his, she thought of something else to say.
"Why did you call me your girlfriend?" She almost shouted as she remembered.
Shivaay raised an eyebrow in that arrogant way that only he was capable of.
"Well, I do think that is what you call someone your dating."
"And since when have we be 'dating'? Annika asked haughtily, removing her arms from around his neck and putting them on her hips. "As far as I remember, you told me that you would only ask me out when, and I quote here, you've resolved the Tia issue and informed your family and then finally taken me out on a proper date. Have you been forgetting to eat your almonds lately?"
Shivaay gulped as he remembered that was indeed what he had said. But he desperately wanted to make her his girlfriend, and give a name to their relationship. She deserved that, and more.
"Okay, well, I remember saying that. And FYI, I don't need to almonds, my memory is sharp anyway", Annika rolled her eyes at that. "But how about we do something?"
Annika narrowed her eyes at that.
"What?"
"How about," Shivaay started as he removed her arms from her hips and put them around his neck again, pulling her closer, "We skip the resolving issue with Tia and informing the family' part, and skip directly to going on that date?"
Annika pretended to think for a while. The answer would ofcourse be in the affirmative; now that she knew exactly what a cheapdi Tia was, she wouldn't possibly be able to stay away from this baggad billa of hers for long. And just the thought of dating this man, of being his girlfriend, of being his number one, made her feel a thrill of excitement.
"Hmm.. I'll think about it," She finally replied.
Shivaay frowned at that, while Annika bit her lip to stop from smiling at that adorable expression of his.
"But why? Are you still concerned about the Tia thing? But I've told you about her truth already! And if it's about the family, then Om and Rudra already know and-"
Annika had suddenly started laughing, and engulfed him in a hug.
"You just look so cute! Such a billuji, I tell you," she said, still giggling.
Shivaay breathed a sigh of relief.
"So you're just joking with me, huh?"
Annika nodded, her eyes shining bright.
Shivaay slowly slid his hands around her waist, making her top rise and his fingers brush her bare waist.
"You just keep adding on to the things I need to take revenge for, don't you?"
Annika's eyes widened at that. Suddenly, she yanked away from his grasp and ran towards the other side of the room.
"You can only take revenge when you catch me!" She called out playfully.
Shivaay smiled widely. Keeping his eyes on her glowing face, he slowly removed his coat and folded his shirt-sleeves. Then, without warning, he lunged towards her. Annika gave a squeal, but managed to get away from him time. This continued for a while, as she made him chase her all around the room, their hearty laughter reverberating. Finally Shivaay managed to grab her around the waist, and they both landed on the bed with the sudden force, side by side. Still laughing, he pulled Annika close to him, making her lay her head on his chest. He rubbed her back affectionately, in smooth motions. They lay there in silence, just feeling each others' presence. After a while Annika spoke up in a soft voice,
"Pinky Aunty will be wondering what's taking me so long."
Shivaay chuckled.
"She sure will be."
Another minute of silence, before,
"So we are up for that date tonight, right? I'll pick you up at 8.30? That should give you enough time to get ready."
Annika looked at him hesitantly.
"Shivaay, I know I said yes for the date, but I can't just leave Sahil alone at home so late at night. My friend Chanda isn't in Mumbai this week so I can't even leave him at her house either."
Shivaay thought about it for a moment, before coming up with a solution.
Grinning, he said, "Well, what do you think your 'devars' are for? I'm sure they'll love to keep Sahil company while we're out."
Annika brightened at that.
"That'd be great! Only if they're willing to, ofcourse."
"Ofcourse they will be." Shivaay said while kissing the top of her head.
Lazing around for a few more minutes, Annika finally got up.
"I really need to get going, or Pinky Aunty might come upstairs wondering where we're lost." She said, seeing Shivaay's frown.
Sighing, Shivaay reluctantly got up too.
"Fine, you can go. But only after another kiss."
Annika didn't hold back this time, and joined his lips with her own. They kissed deeply and passionately, and somewhere in the middle, Shivaay pulled Annika on his lap. Tongues entwined and exploring each others' mouth, Annika had a hard time pulling back.
"I really should get going," she said breathily.
Shivaay only hummed while nuzzling her neck. Finally, placing a soft kiss on the hollow of her neck, he let her go.
Watching her retreating back, he thought of how to make tonight's date special for her, before an idea struck his mind.
After having made a few calls here and there, he was sporting the biggest smile on his face. If everything went well, he would be able to propose to her to be his girlfriend, in the kind of romantic way every girl wished for. He distinctly remembered what Annika had said when Mallika was here, about being somebody's number.1, being someone's reason for smiling, and such. Shivaay was going to give her all of that, and more.
Can tonight just come already, he thought dreamily, as he lay back down on his bed again.
Hope you guys liked this part :) Next update will be a little late, apologies in advance!
