A/N : For the upcoming chapters, choose between more of jealous Shub, or a drunk Sara.

Shubman was jealous.

Jealous?

No, he was livid.

The overfriendly Alpaca on Facetime happened to live in London,

And Shubman was not okay with him around.

" And he calls himself 'boyfriend material', if anything, he's only Alpaca material!" He rambled off to Ishan who was busy laughing his heart out.

" Alpaca? Bhai bhai bhai, itna neech? Jal ke raakh ho jaayega."

" Woh vaise hi dikhta hai!" Shubman argued as he grumbled in anger.

" Shaant Shubi Shaant. Calm down a bit."

" Kal jab kisine Aditi ke saath aise hi behave karna hai na, tab mai bhi yahi bolunga. Remember Vartak?" Shubman arched a brow at him as Ishan's playful expressions vanished, his face devoid of any expression at all, his eyes darkening.

Shubman smirked.

" Baby, I'm going out for dinner-it's more of a business one, with a few friends and colleagues, I'll be back late, don't stay up and have your dinner early okay?"

" I'll drop you." Ishan immediately offered and he heard Aditi click her tongue in denial.

" No no, its okay, Vartak's coming to pick-"

" Who?" Ishan asked, a tinge of jealousy in his tone.

" Var-Vartak? You know Vartak...don't you?"

" Y'know...on second thought, I'll come along for dinner."

" But you got practice tomorrow morning."

" It's okay, I can be late for once, no big deal. Give me five, I'll change and come, kay?"

" O-okay." Aditi nodded, her gaze turning suspicious as walked to the side to call Vartak.

" Shaant Ishu, Shaant. Jal ke raakh ho jaayega. I can smell something burn continents away. Tch tch tch. So jealous and possessive that you're following her to dinner." He mocked, shaking his head.

" At least I can follow her to dinner...meanwhile you...." Ishan shook his head, tsking.

And to rub salt on his wounds, he added.
" Enjoy watching the 'Overfriendly Alpaca' turn boyfriend material and earn compliments. Bye Shubi!"

His jaw fell agape as Ishan hung up.

" This little bitch." He muttered under his breath.

" Height itnu si, aur zuban itni lambi." He huffed, dialling Sara's number.

" Yes Shub?"

" You said today was gonna be a half-day." He whined and he heard her chuckle.

" An hour more and I'll be home. Promise."

" Hour? Nahi nahi. I can't wait for sixty more minutes. Half a day away from you is enough torture. Either you're coming home soon or I'm coming there. You've been overworking a lot Baby, it'll be too stressful for you. I know work's important and no one's stopping you from working but not to an extent that you exhaust yourself and fall sick. That's not something I would like to see."

" I know....it's just that...this deal is really important to me. And I gotta get it signed by tomorrow."

" Sara...you've worked so hard for this, you'll definitely get the deal signed tomorrow. Just..don't fret about it okay?"

" You think so?"

" I know so. Now don't fret over it. Just believe in yourself, yes?"

She hummed.

" Thank you. Also..between those two offers, the latter sounds good y'know?"

He smiled, a wide glinmer spread across his cheeks.

" So I can come pick you up?"

" Can you?"

Groaning, he corrected himself.
" Ugh I'm sorry, May I come to pick you up Miss Tendulkar?"

" Yes you may Mr.Gill."

" Alright! See you in ten minutes! Bye!"

" Bye! Drive safe!"

" I will." He said and hung up.

Ten minutes later, when he reached Allure's building, the receptionist stopped him.

" Um Sir...you are?"

" Haley you stupid bitch everyone knows who he is!" A girl passing by smacked herself.

" Who?" Haley asked.

" The guy you and Kylie were stalking two days ago." Someone told her in a low voice but he heard it anyway.

" That's HIM? OHMYGOD! I-"

" Control your hormones darling, he's also Ma'am's boyfriend."

" Oh! Is...is he?"

" Yes unfortunately so that's the end of your first love story. The next time he pays a visit, make sure you remember, or Ma'am's not going to like it."

" I'm so sorry Sir, you can go upstairs, I just need to inform Chaya tha-"

" Sir? You're here? Why're you standing here? Ma'am's waiting upstairs."

" Haley stopped him." Someone told her and she sighed.

" Seriously Haley? The last time it was Ma'am's brother, now it's her boyfriend? And it wasn't like either visited for the first time. They've been here before umpteen times. Do you even work here?"

" I...I forgot..."

Chaya shook her head in disappointment, as she turned towards Shubman.

" Ma'am's free at the moment Sir, please go up."

Nodding, he walked over to the elevator, ignoring the dreamy sighs and the hungry eyes at him.

As he reached, he knocked the door and her voice immediately rang out.

" Come in!"

Smiling, he pushed the door open, and sat down before her.

She did not look up from the laptop.

" Five more minutes please!" She pleaded, tossing a hershey's chocolate into her mouth.

His gaze flickered towards the packet of chocolates, and his smile widened as he gently pulled it away.

" Do it tomorrow, or let me have the chocolates."

" What? No I'm not sharing this! I can share anything but my chocolates!"

" Just one?" He asked and she stubbornly shook her head, pulling it back.

The push and pull game went on for a while, till she successfully took it back and tossed the second last chocolate into her mouth.

" At least let me taste it! This one's a new flavour!"

" No no no!" She immediately unwrapped the last chocolate and tossed it into her mouth and he smirked.

He nodded his head and leaned down, placing his lips on hers and her eyes widened in surprise as he kissed her.

He put his hand on her nape, deepening the kiss and she pushed him away within a few seconds.

" No! Someone might see us-"

" Let them? Let them know who do I belong to."

She narrowed her eyes at him as he placed a kiss on the tip of her nose, and her cheeks and her stern compsure melted away.

" Stop!" She whined as he pressed a chaste kiss on her cheek.

" You're adorable." He told her and the crimson tint on her cheeks deepened.

" Go and sit there, I'll save the documents, turn off the laptop and come okay?"

" Okay." He nodded his head, his gaze never leaving her as he watched her wind everything up.

" I'm driving." She declared as she took the keys in hand and he frowned.

" Let me, you must be tired."

" You cook, I'll drive!"

" I'm not such a bad driver!" He whined elicting a giggle from her as she stood on the tip of her toes and planted a chaste peck on his nose.

" You're adorable." She told him and skipped away to the elevator, giggling again.

He blinked, a crimson hue spreading on his cheeks and ran after her as he realised what happened.

" HEY THIS IS CHEATING! SARA GET BACK HERE!"

Giggling, she shook her head, refused to give him the keys as they reached the basement.

And he let her have the last word.

Smiling, he shook his head, realising, she was always going to have the last word for the rest of their lives.

And he loved the thought of that.
