HER SAFE PLACE

Awkward

Rocky's POV

After making everyone get in the Scorpio, only Shivangi and I were left. I did it intentionally because I wanted to go with her on the bike alone. But this girl is still stuck on the previous incident.

I tried to explain it to her, but is she going to listen? No. So, I just gave her a small warning not to cut me off during a conversation, and I guess she understood because the way her body reacted made it clear she got what I meant.

Soon, we departed for the hotel. When she was going to her room, I thought to tease her, but guess what? She pissed me off again by saying that Arun is there for her. Like, seriously? Arun? Does she like him? I think there is a chance because she doesn't call him 'bhaiya,' but she calls me 'bhaiyaa.'

No, no, no. I'll deal with Arun later; first, I need to calm her down. I don't want to be her 'bhaiya.'

Then, what do you want to become? 'Saiyan,' my subconscious mind asked. That's better, I replied to myself.

By the time I was done talking to myself, I saw that Shivangi had already gone, and a staff member was standing in the corridor looking at me as if he saw a ghost. I just gave him an awkward smile and went into my room. God, this girl is driving me crazy.

I took my clothes and freshened up. When I came out, I decided to check on Shivangi and Vani to see if they were ready. I went to their room and knocked twice. Vani opened the door and invited me in. I asked if they were ready since we needed to leave soon. Vani told me that Shivangi was still freshening up and that she would change afterward.

To save time, I suggested Vani to go to my room to change while I stayed in their room and waited for Shivangi. This way, we wouldn't be delayed. Vani agreed with the plan, so I handed her my room keys. She took the keys and headed to my room to get ready, while I stayed behind to wait for Shivangi.

I sat on the edge of the bed, checking some emails on my phone, when I heard the washroom door open. I quickly put my phone in my pocket and stood up, anticipating Shivangi's arrival. To my surprise, Shivangi emerged from the washroom wearing nothing but a bathrobe. Her eyes widened in shock upon seeing me, and she let out a loud, "Ahhh!" Startled by her reaction, I instinctively shouted back, "Ahhhh!"

Shivangi stopped shouting, took a deep breath, and looked at me with confusion. "Why are you shouting?" she asked, clearly puzzled. I responded, "Because you are shouting!"

"What? Are you mad?" Shivangi's voice carried anger as she spoke loudly. "And what the hell are you doing here?"

"I'm here to take a bath with you," I replied casually, trying to diffuse the tension with a hint of humor.

"Whattttt?" Shivangi's voice escalated, echoing in the room.

"Will you please stop shouting?" I said calmly, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

"Rock...." Shivangi started to say, clearly flustered by my unexpected presence.

"Vani went to change in my room, that's why I'm here," I interjected, trying to explain myself quickly.

"You should have gone somewhere else because I am changing here," Shivangi retorted, her tone sharp and annoyed.

"You can go to the washroom to change unless you want me to..." I started to say with a playful smirk, teasing her, but before I could finish, she cut me off sharply with, "Shut up!"

As she came towards the bed where her clothes were placed beside me, she bent down to pick up her dress. In doing so, the rope of her bathrobe slipped under her hand, and as she straightened up, her hand inadvertently pressed on the rope, causing her bathrobe to almost come undone. Reacting quickly, I reached out and held onto the edges of the bathrobe, preventing it from opening fully. Startled by my sudden movement, she lost her balance, and her leg slipped, causing her to land on my lap.
