A/N : This is their hotel room.

Nandini's POV :

My eyes fluttered open by the bright sun shining upon my face. I turned the other side hoping to see Manik's face, only to find the bed empty. I sat up yawning and saw him standing by the window drinking coffee, with only his sweatpants. It was definitely a sight for sore eyes.

I smiled sleepily, getting up and quietly went behind him. I wounded my arms around his torso, snuggling to him when he said, "Morning baby."

"Good Morning." I told him, giving him a gentle kiss when he turned a little towards me.

"Hmm, it's the best morning for me. Because I got to wake up to your beautiful face.." He told me and sat down on a chair beside him, pulling me to his lap. I giggled at his statement, hiding my face at the crook of his neck. "Achha now tell me, how did my baby sleep?"

"Awesome!" I replied and he let out a humorous laugh, hugging me closer.

"Baby, you're too cute!" He said and kissed my cheeks. "Now let's freshen up, I have some surprises planned for you.."

"But Maniii! You already planned this trip and now-"

He interrupted me by placing his finger on my lips, "Sunshine, don't worry about it! I'm doing this because I want to pamper you. Okay?" When I nodded, he continued, "It's already 11 now, let's get ready quickly. "

"Mani, you go shower first! So that I can sleep till then.." I told him sheepishly while he only laughed again shaking his head at me and picked me up, placing me on the bed.

"Never change, Nandini! He whispered kissing my forehead before going.

After a short shower, I got dressed and went out to see Manik busy on a call.

He had already ordered breakfast for us. But seeing the amount of food he ordered, you'd think it's to feed a whole family rather than 2 people. There was a plate with 'LOVE' written on it using muffins, a donut, heart shaped pancake and some strawberries. That alone would have been enough but no, it's Manik Malhotra and going over the top was his middle name.

"Mani! What is this? I'm not one to complain about food because even you know I'm a foodie.. But I think you seriously want me to get fat!" I told him, crossing my arms after he had finished his call.

He chuckled at my little outburst and held me by my waist, "Meri pyari Nandu! First of all, even if you do become fat, you would still be the most gorgeous girl in the world for me. Besides, I ordered these because I know you love them all. Now, how can I deprive my baby from tasting her favourite dishes?"

As usual, me being me, I just melted at his words. I sighed, "You are impossible Mani! But you know what, your these little antics make me love you a lot more." He kissed me affectionately and made me sit on his lap.

We ate our breakfast stealing a few kisses and feeding each other. I could definitely get used to this, but I can never get tired of this.

We decided to do a little sightseeing today. First, Manik took me to Musée du Louvre.

"It is the most important museum of Paris. You know, this palace was once home of France's Kings." Manik explained to me and getting to know these facts especially from him was very endearing.

"Wow Mani. It's amazing. And I get my personal tour guide, too!" I told him excitedly and he smiled in amusement.

We visited a few more places like Palais Garnier, Place De la Concorde and watched a musical concert at Sainte-Chapelle.

Manik later took me to Seine River. It was truly captivating in every sense. We booked a cruise ship with some other people but it sure felt like we were the only ones there. We stood by the edge of the cruise in each others arms just cherishing the moment.

I also convinced Manik to take a lot of selfies with me, after a lot of persuasion might I add. And I asked a girl to take our picture together. After the cruise trip, we were just walking aimlessly on the streets, hands intertwined taking in the nature's beauty and then ate lunch at a cute little restaurant named L'Astrance.

This incomparable city is filled with such great monuments. Yet the charm of Paris lies in the small details: the quaint cobblestone streets, perfectly manicured trees, dainty restaurants and bakeries, and wonderful art galleries.

At around 4 o'clock, we returned back to the hotel feeling the fatigue wash over us. We fell asleep unknowingly while we were cuddled up, watching a romantic movie.

I woke up a couple of hours later and frowned in confusion as I saw the empty room. I searched the living room and bathroom but Manik was nowhere to be seen. I brushed it off, maybe he went outside for a while. So I decided to change my clothes and go down.

When I opened my suitcase, I found a cute pink envelope. I opened it to find a folded letter inside.

'Dear Sunshine,

I'm sorry for not being there when you woke up but I had a very important thing. It's a secret! It's my girlfriend's birthday tomorrow, shh! So, I know you've already called me cheesy but I bet you are thinking that again, aren't you?
Well, this is my surprise for you. Wear this pretty outfit and make it look even more prettier.
You know, my heart is beating just by imagining you in this dress. Yeah, you have that effect on me.
I'll be waiting, baby.

Love,         
Your Mani. ❤'

And just like that, I felt my heart swelling with adoration for this cheesiest, sweetest idiot a.k.a my boyfriend, who has me blushing and awestruck without even being here.
