Love : A Wicked Game

Chapter 18 : His Kind Of Shopping

Samaira found herself stepping into Royal Facade Mall once again but this time, along with the devil with whom she had collided there for the first time. Her family was ahead of them while they walked behind in the protocol of his guards.

“Remember this place ?” - he asked, his warm breath on her ear making her shiver.

Since yesterday, after sharing a steamy kiss with him in her own room, she found herself trying to maintain a distance from him because he was affecting her double in force now. That mind exploding kiss had left her hot and bothered which was NOT good for her health. Association with him of any kind was NOT good. Be it only attraction. And as much as she was trying to avoid him, he seemed to be doing the exact opposite. Not a single moment had passed where he had left her alone. He had also coaxed her family into shifting to his home till the wedding as the guest list was long and he had more space. It was logical, yes, but to her inner turmoil, absolutely dangerous.

“How can I forget this place ?” - she retorted with a sweet smile.

“Why is the mall empty ?” - Yashwant's voice grabbed her attention.

Now when she looked around, there was no one except for them and the mall staff, standing alert to attend them. It was surprising because Royal Facade Mall was the main and largest mall of the city which remained almost always busy. Jam-packed with people till late hours of the night. She turned to glare at Rajveer, feeling he had done something but he was looking around as well.

“That's strange.” - he commented offhandedly like he had no idea about it.

But as their eyes met, she knew it was all him. She knew that glint of his eyes. That satisfaction when everything was going according to him.

“Dad, me and Samaira are heading for the bridal section.” - he adressed her father but didn't take his eyes off her.

That was the main reason they were there in the first place. Her family had, naturally, returned everything Vivek's family had given them for the wedding including the lehenga, and Rajveer became adamant to take her for the shopping. But as she was desperately trying to not be alone with him, she pestered her family to accompany them reasoning they might need to do some last minute shopping as well.

Yashwant smiled and headed towards the sweets section with Sonia. Natasha ran to the clothing store as usual. Kavin and Anjana went towards the baby shop and in the end, the very thing happened from which she was running away.

Being alone with him.

He smirked, as he was aware of her attempts to stay away from him.

“I don't mind staying here all day, staring at you but your family might question about our shopping outcome later.” - he said, his smirk widening as her face flushed.

She marched towards the escalator and stepped onto it, and he came just a step behind while his guards waited for them to reach the top before following.

The bridal store was empty as well as they entered. The workers were alert, welcoming them with radiant smiles and led them towards the main section. Rajveer nodded at them, and they bowed before leaving them alone.

“What is it this time ? A threat of life or bribery ?” - she casually inquired while checking the lehengas uninterested.

He was leaned against the wall, his hands in the pockets as he observed her calmly.

“I have paid them the exact amount they earn in a day from the mall. Now you decide whether it's a life threat or bribe.” - he stated, unbothered. Because he was busy adoring her as she stood infront of the mirror, checking lehengas by placing them to her.
