From Strangers to Partners

Chapter 38

Arjun's POV:

Life with Samyra has been great. She has fully recovered from the pamphlet incident. Harsh and Rhea are out of our lives for good. My entire team has accepted Samyra as their bhabhi and it's fun when they call her that but I think it has started growing on her. Well, I love it when she is called Bhabhi because it shows her association with me. Samyra has been a part of all of our games and victories and now they may forget to send me an invite to a party but Samyra is sure to get one. She is younger than most in the group and that is why everyone treats her like their younger sister and I know they'll be ready to beat me for her if I so much as dare to raise my voice at her. So yeah, she has an array of bodyguards for herself now.

Our break is currently going on and we still have two more weeks before we need to start the new semester. We are on a trip since we haven't been anywhere since our wedding other than the small trip to Kashmir after our wedding. I cannot believe it's almost 6 months to our wedding already. I am so in love with Samyra and I cannot imagine how my life would have been had she not been in it or had I rejected the proposal more persistently. I don't say I love you her more often because I don't want her to feel obligated to say it back or feel guilty for not saying back. I know she loves me even if she hasn't realised it herself. It is clear from the way she cares for me, the way her breath hitches when I am close to her, the way her cheeks flush when I catch her staring me.

We are currently in the hotel room, and getting ready for dinner at a bourgeois restaurant that Samyra has heard a lot about. I don't even know how to pronounce the fancy Italian name but I am not going to turn down pizza. I am formally dressed in a royal dark blue suit and am waiting for Samyra to come out. I hear the lock click and turn my face to see my wife exciting the washroom and feel my breath hitch. She is dressed in a blue evening gown which has a fitted bodice and a flowy bottom, her hair is curled and she has accessorized it with a diamond necklace which emphasises and adds onto the V-neck of the gown and the sleevless shoulders. She is doing something with her silver clutch when I go and stand in front of her.

"You look breathtaking." I compliment her, not being able to get over her. Her blush and pink lips, only adding onto the whole look. Myra of course looks young but she also looks so fucking tempting. I am screwed!

"Well, you look handsome youself!" She says with a bright smile covering her face. She takes my hand in her before pulling me towards the door.

"Let's go! We don't wanna miss our reservation."

"Well, I don't mind staying here in the room with you in that dress." I say cheekily only to be swatted by her lightly.

"Shut up! I am starving!" She exclaims.

"I am starving too." I say.

"Good thing we have a reservation and can go get amazing food."

"I am not hungry for food and guess what, we don't have to make reservations or wait for what I am starving for." Samyra turns and glares at me, although her flushed face is enough to tell me she is feeling hot after my comment. Not so innocent, afterall.

"Mr. Arjun Kapoor, we are going to this fancy dinner because I have worked my ass off to get this reservation for us. I want us to have a good dinner and a nice time before we return to our normal routine tomorrow. Am I understood?"

"Aye, aye, madam!"

"Good, now follow me!" She says before turning back and leading the way.

"I am sorry but the view of you in front of me and your bossiness is bothering me a little." I tell her, my voice hoarse.

"Pervert!" She comments before pulling me next to her and walking with me, her arm looped in mine.

"Only for you!"
