Falling For You

Chapter 6

6.Midnight troubles.

The hotel booked by Rudra for them to stay was just fifteen minutes away from the airport and Annika couldn't be any more glad.

Since it was past midnight,there were no much people in the lobby as they entered.

They were greeted by a man dressed in suit as they entered."Welcome Mr and Mrs.Oberoi,we've been waiting for your arrival.It's a pleasure having you back,sir",he said looking at Shivaay while saying the last part,to which Shivaay gave a small nod.

To Annika,it looked as if Shivaay already knew the man as he introduced himself to be the manager of the hotel.Addressing Annika,he added,"We hope you have an equally pleasant stay here,ma'am."

Annika couldn't help but wonder why was this man dressed up in complete formals even when it was past midnight.Shouldn't he be sleeping than wait for the guests,all decked up?Atleast that's what she would be doing if it was her.

She gave the manager a small smile,that's all she could manage as she was too tired after the long journey.While Shivaay,on the other side looked quite fresh,even though she was the one to sleep throughout the journey.This man was too fine to be real,she thought.

"I hope the presidential suite is ready",Shivaay asked the man and it didn't take much time for Annika to understand that the Oberois had a share in this hotel too."No wonder this man is awake at one in the morning and dressed up for us.These Oberois and their superiority complex",Annika murmured making Shivaay arch an eyebrow at her.

Annika bit her tongue hoping she was not loud enough for the man to hear as well.

She was saved as the manager spoke up,this time in a low voice."I'm sorry sir,but Mr.Rudra Oberoi had specifically mentioned to arranged a -",he was cut off by a visibly angry Shivaay.

"What do you mean?I always prefer staying in our presidential suite and you know that,Mark!",Shivaay exclaimed making the young man flinch a bit.

Taking pity at the poor being,Annika excused themselves taking Shivaay to a distance.

"Why are you so obsessed with those suites,we just have to stay here for few days and I am already tired for this Shivaay." Annika pressed her temples in an attempt to show him how 'tired' she is.

"Those suites are more comfortable to stay in,Annika.We'll have a kitchen and much more personal spaces.",said Shivaay making Annika roll her eyes.

"We're here to stay for few days.Here,I'm trying to show you how tired and sleepy I am and all you care about is the kitchen?It doesn't matter,alright?!Aap yaha cooking karne nahi aaye hai na?Chup chaap chaliye!For now let's stay in whatever room booked by Rudra.Ek din presidential suite mein nahi rahenge to aapki height kam nahi hoga",she remark hiding her grin.

"Don't you dare go there",Shivaay said stepping a bit closer to Annika.

She quickly walked back to the waiting manager,making Shivaay chuckle at her antics before following her.

"We'll take the room",Annika stated to the manager as he handed her the key card with an unsure smile.He offered to lead them to the room and was politely rejected by Annika.The bellboy placed their luggage on the trolley as Shivaay and Annika walked towards the lift.

Entering the lift,she asked him if he owned this hotel,to which he gave a haughty smile making Annika roll her eyes."We own hotels in every nook and cranny of the world,Annika.You should have known this by now.We have a small share in this hotel as well."

Annika shook her head,hitting his arm lightly."Do you ever get tired of blowing your own trumpet?"

"I am just stating the fact,baby."he winked,making Annika's heart skip a beat again.Not at the wink,but at his endearment or maybe both.

As they reached their floor,they were greeted by something unexpected.Shivaay was left cursing Rudra while Annika had her eyes popping out.
