No Thanks!

Midnights like this...

She was actually dating him? She was dating, "the"  Shivaay Singh Oberoi! The playboy Billionare was her boyfriend! She headed back to work almost skipping, when Avantika called her.

"Beta I know you are working hard but you've got to stop working this hard! Another night at the office?"

"I wasn't at..." she almost blurted it out. Shivaay's impish lips suckling on her soft skin from head to toe flashed by her eyes. Then the moment he said that he loved her kept replaying again and again. She could just live, listening to him declaring his love for her day and night! That would be enough for her sustenance.

"Momma...I love you! I am so happy!" She squealed.

"Oh beta I am so happy for you too! And Neil! You both are going to be such a power couple! They are calling you the IT wedding planners of the year!"

"Err Momma regarding Neil...we are still business partners but...I...I sort of broke up with him...This morning.."

"What? Young lady? He was such a wonderful boy! I saw the cosmopolitan the other day, I was so relieved that you chose Neil over Shivaay...though he's your fathers best friends son, now I am thinking that was a mistake from our end! Who has a public playbook like that? 10 steps?"

"It's 3 actually..."

"Huh?"

"Nevermind Momma didn't you tell me not to judge a book by its cover?"

"I did! But you should meet someone with the same standards for life as yourself! I know our daughter will NEVER disappoint us..You have always made us very proud! You will choose the best life partner for yourself!"

Ann squirmed a little, drowning in guilt. Though she didn't technically spend the night with him, she did spend the night with him. Which she has never done in her life before! She broke more than just one standard that she set for herself with him. Now she was going to date him, without any hopes of getting married to him ever! Because she felt safe with him? Because she felt connected to him in ways that she couldn't explain? Because he was her Billu? Because....He was her blue eyed prince...What was she thinking? Her parents would never approve of this! Humph!

"Momma I'll...I'll call u later..."

This was going to be harder than she thought, now that her  mother, found Shivaay to be promiscuous.Which he was...until he declared his love for her this morning.

PING...

S.S.O: Hey angel...how are you? Miss you already!

He sent a cute picture of his sad puppy face, in the kitchenette, sitting alone with a coffee cup, pouting.

My Angel: Sorry...slumped with work TTYL.

TTYL? What? Did she just ignore him? Annoyed he messaged again.

S.S.O: Are you ignoring me?

Typing...Typing...Typing

S.S.O: What are you still typing for the past 20 minutes? HELLO?

Typing...Typing...

Knock...Knock...He opened the door still distracted with the phone, when she leaped and wrapped her arms around his neck. He was pushed against the side table which he leaned on for balance.

"I missed you too.." She winked and placed a lingering kiss on his lips. He smiled from ear to ear, seeing her. For his dismay she let go of him far too soon.

"Alright I got to go now..." She bent over to pick up her bag, when he pulled her back from her waist, and hugged her from behind.

"Stay..." He brushed his stubble on her cheek. He loved seeing the small hairs on her neck stand up, when he did that.
