We entered the club , the music was loud , people were dancing crazily , some were too high. we walked towards a group of people who I guessed were shivaay's friends.
"Hey aashna"
"Hey shivaay, thanks for coming dude. Who's this pretty girl with you ?"
"She's my friend, Annika"
Friends? When did we become friends? My thoughts were running crazy already. God knows what was in store for me today.
"Ohh hey Annika" called aashna
"Hey" I replied giving her a smile.
Soon the whole gang sans shivaay went to the dance floor. The moment was becoming awkward with just him and me.
Breaking the silence I asked him " umm shivaay don't you want to dance ?"
"I think I'm fine here."
"Do you want me to accompany you ?"
Shit Annika . Now he'll surely think you're being desperate.
"If you want, then sure milady" he finished giving me a wink.
Thank God for the dim lights otherwise he would have seen my blushing face.
He extended his hand courteously and I slipped mine in his. We were soon dancing in each other's arms owing to the fact that there was no space at all.
His hands were wound around my waist while mine were around his neck. We could feel each other's breath.
"By the way shivaay when did we become friends ?" I asked him with a naughty smile.
"Well we could be more only if you want to"
His Adorable goofy smile suddenly made me want to kiss him. His words had started affecting me.
"Do you want some drinks Annika?"
"Umm something non alcoholic would be fine"
"Okay, you stay here I'll just get them"
Suddenly I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, I turned around to find a drunk creepy guy smiling at me.
"Excuse me miss would you like to have a dance ?"
" No I'm fine" I replied calmly
"Ohh beautiful atleast try me tonight"
Suddenly a hard punch landed on his face . It was shivaay , he held my hand and giving a last glare to that cheap a**hole walked towards the exit of the club.
Once we were out he cupped my face and wiping my tears planted a kiss on my forehead.
"Annika are you fine ? I'm so sorry I shouldn't have left you alone. I'm so sorry" his voice was full of concern yet soft.
"I'm fine shivaay."
Gathering some courage I slowly stood on my toes and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you so much shivaay "
He came closer and caressed my cheek with one hand while the other encircled my waist. The moment was ours , full of love, respect and adoration.
After what seemed like eternity we hugged each other. My face was buried in his chest. It felt right and beautiful. I felt secure in his embrace.
Pulling from the hug we started walking towards the car hand in hand.
After reaching the hostel I recalled all that Happened in the club and a smile appeared on my face. Shivaay was surely doing someone to me and it felt just perfect.
Suddenly my phone buzzed. It was him!!
I picked the call and soon we were talking to each other like two lovestruck teenagers. We talked till 5 in the morning.
I hurried to the dance room for the practice. Shivaay was busy in his phone.
Suddenly he called my name and looked up.
"How did you know it was me, shivaay?"
"I could sense you"
This guy was excelling in leaving me tongue tied with his replies.
Soon we started with the practice, but unfortunately I Tripped and landed on the floor. My leg was paining badly.
"Annika, oh god are you ok? Is it paining"?
I could just nod my head while tears were rolling down my cheeks. The pain was becoming worse.
Shivaay scooped me in his arms and rushed to the medical department.
"Shusshhh it's fine Annika , I got you"
The doctor examined my leg, gave me an injection and prescribed some pain killers.
"Annika how will you manage alone? "
"I'll be okay shivaay"
His face told that he wasn't convinced but nothing was in our control.
He helped me get to my room and sat on the bed beside me. The advantages of being shivaay Singh oberoi , he got the permission of staying in my room till 12.
He got up from the bed to leave.
"Okay dixit take care , will see you tomorrow" he spoke kissing my forehead.
"I will" I replied looking in his eyes.
This routine went on for the next 4 days , he would come everyday, have food with me , play games and then leave.
The bandage was finally off today and I had started walking. Tomorrow was the fest and we hadn't practiced at all.
I was growing anxious suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was shivaay.
He took his hands in mine in order to calm me.
"Dixit there's nothing to be worried about. Relax it's going to be great tomorrow" oh my heart why was this boy being so cute and lovable . I had started feeling for him but I knew it was a dead end for shivaay would never ever feel for me.
Pushing aside my thoughts I focused on the practice.
Soon the day of the fest arrived, giving a full blown smile to each other we gave our performance for the evening. Everything went great. Thank God !!
I started walking towards the Green room when I noticed him standing near the pillar with a sullen expression on his face.
"Shivaay, is everything fine ?"
"Huh? Yeah yeah " he spoke looking everywhere except me
I turned him by his shoulders
"Shivaay, look at me" I spoke cupping his face.
"What is it ? Come on tell me"
"Dixit, don't freak out okay but..... But I think I'm falling for you"
"Can I help you from not doing that ?"
I asked him looking straight into his eyes. His greenish blue orbs were changing colors and I don't know who made the first move but few seconds later we shared our first kiss.
Breaking apart our eyes shining with an unknown emotion we smiled at each other.
"Dixit ,will you be my girlfriend?."
"But why me shivaay ?I thought you were more interested in Tia , ragini type girls. I mean I've always seen you hanging out with them" I questioned him curiosly.
"Because it's always been you dixit. I have liked you since the first time I saw you. I thought there's no chance for us to be a thing but then this dance Happened." He spoke earnestly
"Well quite chivalrous of you to not creep me like a stalker by the way." He chuckled lightly.
"So is it a yes Ms Annika dixit?"
"Yes Mr shivaay Singh oberoi"

"So that's how I found the love of my life "
"Wow mumma , I wish to find my prince too someday"
"You will honey" I kissed shivika's cheek and lulled her to sleep.
I walked towards our room to find shivaay busy with his files.
"Shivaay can you please give yourself some rest ?"
I sat beside him and snuggled into his warm embrace. He kissed my forehead and wound his arm around my shoulder.
"Shivaay what if we weren't paired opposite each other in our college dance ?" I asked him with a worried expression
"I still would have wooed you only dixit" he replied winking.
" Is it so mister ?" I asked him raising my eyebrows
" Vaise it could be Tia or ragini too . Haina ?" He asked giving a naughty smile.
"Owww" he shrieked due to the smack he had just received.
"Serves you right sso "
He pulled me closer and planting a kiss on my cheek said
" I'm joking Annika. It's always been you and it will always be you"
My frown disappeared and my lips curved into a smile.
" I love you shivaay"
" I love you too Mrs oberoi"
