Aryamann's pov!

Bhumi was still asleep when we reached home.

Home? Since when did this mansion become a home to me?

I shook my head to clear all the unnecessary thoughts and picked Bhumi up bridal style and walked inside.

As I was about to climb the stairs, Bhumi stirred in my arms and opened her eyes.

"Where am I?" She asked, pressing her fingers against her forehead, trying to alleviate the pain.

How does every girl manage to ask the same question when they regain consciousness? Are they all programmed that way?

"Are you okay?" I asked in concern.

"Mann," she grinned at me and hugged me tighter.

Damn!! She is still intoxicated. And she is making me intoxicated with her.

"Let's get you to the room," I said and started walking again.

"No," she yelled suddenly and I came to a sudden halt.

"What?" I asked in alarm.

"I want to watch a movie," She said, looking at me expectantly.

"No Bhumi. What you need is a good night's sleep." I said sternly and started walking again.

"You hate me," she cried loudly, making me groan.

Where did she get the idea that I hate her?

"Okay okay. Let us watch a movie," I said and carried her to the theatre room.

I settled her on the couch and picked up the movie disk bag.

"What do you want to watch?" I asked.

"I want to watch an English movie," she said.

"Woah. First time I am hearing that she wants to watch something other than vampire diaries or originals. I think drunk Bhumi is more sensible." I muttered to myself.

"Which one do you want to watch? Captain America?" I asked.

"No," she said, making a face.

"Avengers?"

"No."

"Spiderman?"

"No."

"Thor?"

"No," she said and I sighed.

"You tell me which one you want to watch?"

"Cinderella?" She said and I looked at her in disbelief.

So much for watching English movies.

"I don't have a cinderella disc with me." I said and she started crying again.

Damn! Where am I trapped!

"Okay okay. Stop crying. I will download it now itself." I said and downloaded the movie and played it for her.

And instead of looking at the screen she was looking at me with an expectant look on her face.

"Now what??" I asked in exasperation.

"There is no popcorn?" She asked, making a cute face which is impossible to ignore.

I rolled my eyes, but still picked up my phone and asked Rey to arrange some popcorn and send it to the theatre room.

"I want cheese popcorn." Bhumi added and I conveyed the same to Rey too.

As soon as popcorn came, I resumed the movie and Bhumi snuggled into me having no idea what she was doing to me.

I tried to push her away, but she wouldn't let me.

She had her arms wrapped around my biceps tightly and her bre**ts were pressed against my arms, making me aroused.

"You are so cuddly. Can I keep you?" She asked and I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face.

She is so cute

"Wow. Dimples. Can you give me one too," she said, poking my dimple.

"How will I give you a dimple, Bhumi?" I asked, shaking my head.

"Papa had dimples on his face. And I used to cry because I didn't have dimples and he said he got the dimples when mama gave him a kiss there. And he told me that when my prince charming gives me a kiss I will also get dimples," she said very seriously.

This is the first time she talked anything about her parents. Sober Bhumi never talks about her family. She is so damn secretive.

There are many things that she is hiding from me. Like the revenge she and Ekansh had on someone. And then there is this Lekha di whom Bhumi has been in regular contact with.

"So am I your prince charming?" I asked with a smirk.

I can't wait for her to be normal again and remember what all she said to me tonight.

"I can make you my prince charming, if you give me dimples," she said, striking a deal.

"Really?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes," she said and climbed onto my lap giving me a heart attack.

"What are you doing, Bhumi?" I groaned as I could feel my arousal rubbing against her core.

Does she even realise it?

"Give me dimples," she said and pointed at her cheeks.

"You will regret this in the morning" I argued.

"No. Give me dimples," she said stubbornly.

"Don't blame me for anything in the morning okay." I said and kissed both her cheeks.

"More," she demanded.

"No, Bhumi. Look, you didn't get dimples when I kissed." I pointed out.

"But I liked it. Want more kisses," she mumbled and moved closer if possible.

Damn Bhumi!! What are you doing to me?

I was so damn tempted to take her upon her offer, but I know better than to take advantage of a drunk woman.

If anything happens between us, I want it to happen with her full consent.

"What is poking me?" She asked with a frown and held my aroused member in her hand.

My eyes widened and a shiver ran down my entire length.

"Bhumi..."

Bhumi's pov

What the heck is going on!

What is that annoying sound?

I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't.

My head is bursting. I feel like someone is sitting inside my head and banging my skulls with a hammer.

I snuggled more into my bed.

Why is my bed harder?

Or is it a pillow?

I tried to get up but it pulled me back?

Wow! A pillow with arms!

I love it.

Though it is hard, it feels so cuddly.

How can something hard be cuddly away well!

"How cute they are. Aren't they," someone asked.

A very familiar voice.

I opened my eyes with great difficulty, and tried to adjust my focus which narrowed into a cheeky looking Gaurav and Arohi.

What are they doing?

Are they taking my photos?

Can't a girl sleep peacefully?

"What is so cute? Me sleeping?" I asked in a groggy irritated voice.

Damn! Why does my mouth feel so dry!

"Yeah," Gaurav answered cheekily.

"What is so cute about sleeping?" I asked confused, still not getting up from my bed.

It is so darn comfy.

And why are these two in my room, early in the morning? Just to confuse me?

"The way you two sleep is cute?" Gaurav said with an amused smile.

"Two? Who? Me and my new pillow with arms?" I asked again trying to get up but I was pulled down again.

But what made my breath hitch was the voice of my so-called pillow.

"Let me sleep, Bhumi," he said and pulled me tighter against him.

What the hell?

I looked up and my eyes widened realising the position in which we were sleeping.

Aryamann is lying on the couch and I am sleeping on top of him. In the theatre room?

What are we doing here?

How did I get here?

Where is Aditi?

The last thing I remember is playing truth or dare with Aditi's friends. They had dared me to drink three cans of beer. And being the dare queen, I accepted it graciously. I drank three cans on the go. And then boom!

Nothing!

I remember nothing after that!

Oh god!

I turned around and glared at Gaurav and Arohi, who were laughing at us. Me!!

"Stop laughing and help me out of this." I said and tried to get up again.

Is he a human or an iron-man? How strong is his grip?

After trying for at least twenty times I finally got up, waking Aryamann along with it.

"Good Morning," he said in a husky voice.

"Really? Good morning? What the hell are we doing here?" I was still confused.

"Oh. Madam is finally sober?" He asked and I frowned.

"You don't remember anything??" He asked again.

"I went to the party with Aditi. We were playing truth or dare and I was dared to drink beer. And- and what happened? I don't remember!!" I said rubbing my fingers along my temple.

"Don't worry. Even if you don't remember, there are enough videos circulating in social media to remind you of what happened!!" Gaurav said, cheerily.

"What videos?" It was Aryamann's turn to be confused.

I am already confused. So there is no need to tell you people that again and again, right?

"Oh you haven't seen it yet. I will show you my dear brother. Your quack quack video." Gaurav said, grinning widely and Aryamann looked at him in horror.

"Video? How did you get that video?" Aryamann asked in alarm, snatching the phone from Gaurav.

"Brother, that video went viral on social media. The tabloids are having a field day on the brooding scowling billionaire singing rhymes. Can you blame them?" He asked and Aryamann cursed under his breath.

"Has anyone in our family seen it yet?" Aryamann asked.

"Every single person has seen it except you two." Gaurav said coolly.

"Wait a second. Can any of you please explain what is going on here. I have a terrible headache and I can't catch up with what you people are saying. And Aryamann. Really? Rhymes? What are you, five?" I asked, shaking my head in disapproval.

"Not so soon, Bhumi darling. See the video and then show your disapproval." Arohi said and thrusted her phone into my hands and played the video.

My eyes widened in horror seeing the video.

Oh God! What have I done!

**********************

Aryamann's pov!

"Aryamann, dad is on line. He wants to talk to you. Is your phone dead?" Gaurav said, giving me his phone.

"Dad!" I answered.

"Aryamann. There is an immediate meeting scheduled with Mr Brahma at eleven in the morning. Be here in the office immediately," he said in a stern voice and hung up without even waiting for my response.

I took a deep breath. He is annoyed after seeing the video.

Well, he can keep his annoyance to himself. If he dares to point a finger at me or Bhumi...

"Aryamann?" Gaurav called out for me.

"Meeting with Mr Brahma." I said in a solemn voice.

"Isn't that the person who cancelled the deal with you last year because you were a playboy bachelor?" Bhumi asked with a confused frown on her face.

"Yes. The deal was almost finalised. Mr Brahma said he would tell his final decision in the next meeting, which was scheduled to happen next week. Why this sudden meeting now?" Gaurav asked.

"Do you? Do you think it has anything to do with our video?" Bhumi asked in a very low voice.

"I don't know," I answered honestly.

But I had an inkling that it has everything to do with the video. But I didn't want to confirm it and worry Bhumi more.

"Oh god! We embarrassed everyone. What will your family think about me now? And if Mr Brahma cancels this deal, I wouldn't be able to live in peace." Bhumi groaned.

"Relax Bhumi, let's hope for the best," Gaurav said, trying to console her.

""""

As I entered the conference room with Gaurav, I saw Daksh, dad and Nakul papa already there. Dad was pacing the conference room like a caged tiger. Annoyance radiating off him in waves.

"Good morning," I said casually.

"Really? What the hell have you done, Aryamann? Did you see that video? The whole world might be now laughing at Mehrotras. Oh god! I don't know how I am going to face Mr Brahma. Last year we lost the deal because of your irresponsible lifestyle as a playboy. And this year, it's going to happen again because of your carelessness. Seriously Aryamann, what were you even thinking? And Bhumi- " I cut him off there

There is no way I would let anyone say a word against Bhumi. Not even my dad.
