Naina waits outside Asher's residence in Mumbai, pacing back and forth.Where is he? It's been a week now. He hasn't returned. He promised he would be back the same morning. But there's no sign of him. She can't reach his phone either. Or Zain's.

She wonders if he's okay. What if he got into a terrible fight? He was a mafia man after all.... What if he's injured?

No. she shouldn't be thinking of negative things. Deep breaths. Yeah.

It's sad, she can't enjoy the beautiful weather. she looks up at the thick clouds in the sky...

The wind blowing is cool, moisture laden. It might rain any time now.

And it does....

She jumps when a gentle rain comes pouring down. A security guard runs up to her with an umbrella, asking her to wait inside.

She shakes her head, "I'll wait here."

The guard leaves, murmuring something.

How many minutes pass, she doesn't know.

She stands there, shivering slightly letting the rain calm her down. He will be fine, he should be.

Just then she notices it isn't raining anymore. Well, the rain hasn't stopped. But someone has held up an umbrella for her.

She raises her head and there he is, the man she wanted to see.

Ash! Seems like he got inside when she was lost in thoughts.

But where's his car?

That's not important. Laughing that he's made back home safe, she jumps to hug him at once.

He holds her close, dropping the umbrella. The rain drenches him completely but he doesn't seem to care.

"Ash, you're safe!" she squeezes him tight.

He pulls back gently to look at her, "I'm home, baby."

She laughs. It's so funny when he calls her that.

And before either of them could say anything, their lips were already touching, their kiss soon turning into something intense which goes on until someone clears their throat.

"Ahem. you guys always forget I'm around." says Zain with a slight blush on his cheeks. He's under the shade of an umbrella, saving himself from the rain.

Ash laughs while Naina looks away embarrassed.

"You guys catch up. I'll head inside... it's raining cats and dogs now."

Zain jogs inside. Apparently he parked their car outside. Maybe work isn't over yet?
Naina turns her eyes back to her boyfriend. She missed him so much, and there was a lot to catch up.

When she smiles, he touches her cheek.

"Were you worried? I told you, it's nothing. Why were you waiting in the rain? Do you want to fall sick?"

"Ab mujhe mat sunao." she cuts him off, wrapping her arms around him, "you're late. And I missed you."

He chuckles pulling her close. "I won't tell how much I missed you.... I'll show you."

He brings his lips down on to hers again, sealing them in a kiss. She finds herself nearly melting when he pulls her closer intensifying the kiss. Her hands glide upwards into his hair, tugging on it, a soft cry escaping her lips which is soon muffled by his own. This is what she wanted maybe. She can almost feel him smiling into the kiss. she is happy too.

When they're both breathless, they pull apart to gulp some air. She opens her eyes. Her brain still feels fuzzy. Yet she finds herself giggling and pulling him in for another kiss.

"What? Heyy-"

This time she is the one to kiss him, prodding his lips with her tongue. She smirks when he groans, grabbing her roughly by the waist. Then he lifts her up which stuns her.  she pulls back a little to look at him.

"Put me down, you--"

"Nope. Let's make the most of what we have."

She shivers as the wind picks up. Maybe it's his intense eyes instead, she doesn't know the reason why she just shivered.

"We should head back inside."

She laughs when he shifts her so she's now in a princess carry.

***

Once inside, he puts her down after they are inside his room.

Naina turns to him. She's still blushing but oh, she has come to used to these things.

"Asher! Look you're soaked. Tumhe pehle naha lena chahiye. Here lemme help."

She reaches out casually for his coat buttons when he puts his arms on her waist.

"You're soaked too," he says with a wicked grin, "maybe I should help you out of it."

She looks down at her soaked salwar. Brushing back her wet bangs, she gives him a nasty look, "oh no you don't. You pervert. Main khud change kar lungi. Go and take a bath. Go! You have an important meeting tomorrow... now go..."

She begins to push him towards the bathroom but he won't budge.

"What? Ash...just go, will you?"

"Miss Parker, how can I leave you alone? What if you catch a cold huh?"

He smirks. She knows it's bad. What's he thinking? She yelps when he bends down to pick her up in his arms again. His wet coat now lies discarded on the floor along with her dupatta, she suddenly feels self conscious to be resting her hands on his exposed chest. When did he undo so many buttons?

"The bathtub is big enough for both of us." he whispers in her ear.

"Whh-" she chokes, blushing furiously.

Then he carries her to the luxurious bathroom. She has seen it, it's as big as a living room in normal households. But---

"Asher! You shameless creature! Put me down now! You can't...."

But his lips are already on hers and he has shut the bathroom door...

Oh good lord, no one can save her now..
