"You owe me dinner." he said looking in her eyes.

"Dinner?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Yes" he said, nodding his head, "Well you told me to come with you and that narcissistic person." he said making an irritating face which Annika felt that it was so unlike to see him behaving like this.

"Oh come on I was trying to refuse him, it was you who said yes to him, if you won't have then I would have something delicious that to my hand's pasta." she said in a dreamy voice and licked her tongue as if she was just going to have it.

"Hold on!! You know cooking?" he asked surprisingly.

"So what do you think, ki zomato wala roj free main khana dekar jata hai." she asked annoyingly how he dared to raise a finger on her cooking skills.

"Well I have always seen you eating vada pavs only."

"Oh come one that was a one time thing." She said, looking at him.

While he gave a look- R-E-A-L-L-Y? , accepting her defeat she says, "Ok fine I just eat outside on three days of week as Kanta tai takes leave" she said in a grumpy voice.

"And for your kind information I am a really good cook, log marte hai mere haath ka khana khane ke liye." Annika said boosting herself although she also knows how good she cooks.

"Really!! Well then I would love to have something made by you." He said, faking enthusiasm.

"Ok then it is final then, let's go to my home." Annika said, accepting his unspoken challenge.

Soon both of them settled in his car, and Annika started giving her directions for her home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon they were standing in front of a posh apartment in Versova. Shivaay looked at the building.

"I didn't know you had a flat here, as far as I know this area is really expensive." he said looking at the building.

"Well I do earn that much, and secondly my dad has made sure that my future is secured." she said with a small smile.

Nodding his head he started moving towards the entrance, but the guard stopped them from entering and he went to the driving seat.

Shivaay opened his car's window.

"Sahab kaha ja rahe hai?" the guard asked.

Before Shivaay could answer, Annika jumped into the conversation, "He is with me bhaiya."

Guard nodded in understanding, "Ok entry kar do , for guest car parking."

"Not required bhaiya, we will manage." Annika said, giving him a smile.

"What do you mean , I won't leave my car anywhere." Shivaay said, looking at her.

"Don't worry my car is at your office so basically my parking is empty, so you can park there, now can we go?" Annika asked.

And Shivaay can realise she got irritated with his question not wanting to argue with her he silently went towards the parking area and Annika guided him.

Once the car was parked, both of them came out and then Shivaay noticed a black royal enfield was standing there.

"Whose bike is this?" he asked, looking at her.

"It's mine,I mean my dad's." she said, coming in front.

"I used to drive it sometimes, it's fun." she said looking at the bike.

Shivaay noticed how she was adoring the bike, but what makes him confused is why she is so sad whenever a topic is raised about his father. Is his father?? But he reprimanded himself for thinking like this. To make the atmosphere lighter he says, "I didn't know that you can ride a bike."

Annika came back from her little flashback and turn towards him who was noticing her expression , she realised that he is trying to lift his mood, so she decided to go with the flow,

"Well you don't know a lot about me" she said while raising an imaginary question.

"I am so interested to know more about you Annika" he muttered.

"Did you say anything?" as she couldn't hear anything.

"Ahm nothing...let's go unless you accept your defeat." he said in the last line with his usual smirk.

"Not at all Mr Oberoi, you just wait and watch." she said in usual swag.

And as they moved towards the lift, she quickly pressed the 6th floor. And when they reached their floor Shivaay noticed that there were only two flats as there were two lifts which open in opposite directions. Hence if he has to come to meet her, then he doesn't face a lot of people which is good for him but then he realised why he was thinking that he would be coming here again.

"Where are you lost ,Shivaay? Come inside na" said Annika who was continuously calling him inside.

Shivaay nodded his head and soon came inside, there were dim lights on, he believed it must be emergency lights. The foyer was filled with photos. She was looking so cute in childhood, while Shivaay was observing her pictures, Annika quickly got him a pair of guest slippers from a shoe rack for him.

"Here you can wear these slippers." She said to him, he turned towards her and nodded his head.

He took off his shoes and socks and quickly wore the slippers. When he entered the living room it completely screams that it's her as it was just lively like her. There was a huge TV and below it there was a shelf on which a few small boxes were arranged in the tray.

"You sit here, I will bring water for you." she said.

While Shivaay sat on the couch, he could see the dining room, even though it was cheerful and lively like her.

Soon she gave him a glass of water and he gulped it in a go and kept the glass on the centre table.

"Just give me five minutes, I will just change and come." Annika said, and Shivaay quickly nodded his head and soon she went inside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Within ten minutes she came back when she looked at him she couldn't take her eyes from him, as Shivaay was standing wearing a black shirt and his sleeves were folded. It wasn't like she hadn't seen him before in black shirt, but right now he isn't wearing his coat which is now common for her. But for the first time he isn't also wearing his waist coat, and due to which he is looking hot and cheery on the top his first two buttons of shirt were open which was giving a slight view of his hairy chest, but it was enough for her to think dirty.

But when she realised what she was thinking she scolded herself and decided to not look at the particular part of his body.

Whereas Shivaay's condition was also same, for the first time he saw Annika in informals she was wearing a blue night suit in which a cute teddy bear was made and was written - "I am cute" which was indeed cute, she was looking so cute in this dress just like a baby.

"Ahm I shall cook something for us, till then you sit here." Annika suggested it to him. Which Shivaay readily agreed as he doesn't want to embarrass himself by checking her out and in the worst case if she noticed him while doing so then he is completely gone.

Soon she went to the kitchen and thinking what she can really make that they both can eat and she can win the challenge, she was reeling thinking about all the options, but she couldn't really find anything to impress him.

Till the time Shivaay called his badi ma informing that he had to attend an important client dinner so he won't be joining them.

While Annika was still pondering, Shivaay decided to check upon her, and when he saw her a smile crept on his face, she was pouting and looking at the peeler as if it was an alien.

"It's a peeler." said Shivaay looking at her with a sarcastic smile.

Annika looks at the peeler and she realises that he is making fun of him.

"I know it" she said while keeping the peeler back.

"I was just checking whether it was clean or not." she said while covering for herself.

"So is it clean?" he asked which was completely filled with sarcasm.

She ignored his question and asked him, " What are you doing here?"

"Well I was just making sure that whatever you are making is edible and there is no poison in it." He said.

"I wish" she muttered and then she loudly said, "You really need to worry about it, I will make something good cut that is delicious for us. So you just relax in the living room."

She was mentally praying that he obliged her but how is it possible after all he is the mighty Shivaay Singh Oberoi.

"Ahm not really I will sit here." he said sitting on one of the bar stools that was kept near the stand.

Annika was mentally crying, now what she is supposed to do. But maybe god felt pity for her and her doorbell rang. Annika smiled as she knows who is at the door and he can keep him really busy so she decided on a plan.

"Ahh Shivaay can you please open the door?" she asked in a sugar coated voice.

"Why me? Isn't it your house?" he asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Well I am setting dinner for us, till the time you just open the door, and don't worry it must be Rivu I mean Rivaan." she said

When Shivaay heard Rivu, he quickly looked towards her, now who the hell is Rivu cut the crap Rivaan.

"Please Shivaay" she made a puppy face.

Nodding affirmatively he moved towards the door, muttering inaudible.

"I don't understand how many boyfriends she has, and why I have to deal with them. But now let us see who is this Rivu!! Yuck how terrible it sounds." he said while burning in jealousy.

"Bach gaye Annika, now let's focus on what to make and be quick because he won't be able to stop him for long."

Before she could say something she hear his scream

Till the time Shivaay called his badi ma informing that he had to attend an important client dinner so he won't be joining them.

Annika bachao!!
