Being Mrs. Singhania

Back to square one?

A very tired Arjun entered the penthouse with a leather backpack on his shoulders. There was total darkness and silence as it was 2:30 am. He dropped bag on couch on his way to kitchen. Drinking the cold water he calmed his dry throat. He looked around for some food but got nothing. He forgot to inform Dolly about his early arrival and flight food just doesn't go well down with him. So he generally avoid it in short term flights. He sighed and made his way upstairs to his room. He should learn some survival cooking.

Before opening his door, he looked at closed door of Arohi's room on other end. It's been 15 days he had any contact with her. He left for a bilateral series with Bangladesh in Bangladesh. They won the series of 3 ODIs and 2 T20s with upper hand on them since their side was much better than theirs. The series made him happy because in less than 5 months the World Cup will begin and it will better if they will go with a winning streak as it will help to boost morale of team.

He developed a strong urge to go and see her. It was a strange feeling. There was a tingling somewhere in his body on the thought of seeing her after so many days. Shaking his head he opened his room door and entered. His hunger is getting into head.

Switching in just dim lights he walked straight into washroom. A good hot shower was much needed. Stripping off his clothes he moved into shower cubicle. 10 minutes later he walked out wrapping a towel around his torso. A fun unknown fact about Arjun Singhania- he likes to sleep naked. In the dimly lit room he made way to his bed and discarding the towel settled inside covers. Switching of the lights he laid down and stretched his arms. His hands wound themselves around a soft figure as he inhaled the sweet intoxicating fragrance.

His eyes wide opened as the realization of presence of another person struck. Within minutes all lights were switched on and a loud shreik emerged from his side. His first instinct was to make sure that he was covered at bottom. Looking above he stared in bewildered eyes of Arohi who was holding a cushion in her hand. Her long black hair were all over her face.

"What are you doing in my room?" He yelled totally stunned.

"What are you doing so early? U were supposed to return tomorrow?" She yelled back keeping cushion down.

Arjun furrowed his brows "There was change in schedule but what are you doing in here?"

"I was sleeping" she yawned rubbing her eyes.

"That I can see. But why here?"

Arohi looked at him one of the sweetest smile "you have soft mattress. My mattress is so hard, it gives me stiff back"

"This means u have been sleeping in here for last 15 days" he questioned like a strick professor while she nodded meekly like a guilty student.

"Unbelievable" he muttered under his breath. He pressed his forehead. First lack of sleep then hunger and now this unexpected dose of dramaqueen was taking toll on him.

"Kya ho tum?" He half asked the question to himself.

"Princess" she grinned "infact I was having such a dreamy dream...my prince was coming instead u came" she scrunched her nose looking at him in distaste.

Rolling his eyes he groaned "go to your room and complete your dream" he gestured her to leave. He was tired and above all he was naked under sheet was making him more uncomfortable.

"Fine. I'll leave. Goodbye Softy bed" she was about to step down when his traitor stomach growled.

Arohi stopped in her action and stared at him "Captain, are u hungry?" she asked softly biting her lower lip.

He cleared his throat "it's nothing. Go sleep" but the whale in his stomach again growled embarrassing him further.

She chuckled "come on Captain it's ok. I will cook something for you. Let's go" she tried removing cover from both of them.
