52. Twenty questions

“am bored” Anika huffed. She threw her head back into the pillows “ did you hear what I said? am borrreeed!”

Shivaay sighed, looking up from his laptop “yes I heard you and I’ve been hearing you since the last hour cause you have been constantly reminding me that you are bored” he fixed her with a glare “but guess what? Am not here for your entertainment”

Anika groaned “lets go out then, lets eat some good food, roam..or watch a movie or anything but get me out of here!!!!!”

“ god I hate babysitting you” Shivaay grumbled, getting up from his chair and making his way to the table beside her bed.

“ here” he held out a glass “have some juice” she made a face at it and shook her head.

“ I though you wanted something to eat” he said sitting on the bed.

“ ya but I didn’t have this in mind...I was talking about butter naans with thandoori chicken on the side and kababs with that amazing theeka chutney on the side and..” she went on with a dreamy look on her face and waving her hands in the air.

“ and orange juice” Shivaay piped in fake enthusiastically, trying to get her to take a sip.

“you suck.. you are no fun” she pouted pushing away the glass.

“ and I liked you better when you were unconscious  “ he muttered under his breath “ guess we don’t always get what we want”

“ did you say something?”

“ nope..nothing” he shook his head innocently “ what would I say? Am no fun remember” he added sarcastically.

“ ya you are no fun” she agreed.
He shrugged “sorry about that but I prefer business over fun and now I have to get back to work” he said getting up.

“ Shivaaaaaaay” she drawled, reaching up and catching his hand “ give it up! We are in Dubai for heaven’s sake and all you want to do is sit in a corner and type on that stupid keyboard”

“yes cause the second we step out of this room we are going to be killed by bandits” he shot back “ and just for the record am working so that we both can get out of this place in one piece.”

Anika sighed “ok here’s the deal talk with me for five minutes and I will be quiet and let you do your work for the rest of the day”

He cocked an eyebrow “really? For the rest of the day?’

She paused “ok for a few hours. I can manage to be quiet for a few hours but that’s a good deal right?”  She tugged onto his hand, but he stayed put.

“common on na Shivaay” she pleaded “just for a five minutes..Plus...” she batted her lashes staring at him from under them “my back hurts” she almost whispered pouting slightly.

He narrowed his eyes “you are such a drama queen” he told her, but he let her tug him back onto the bed.

“ what do you want me to talk about?”’ he sighed finally giving in.

She grinned propping up herself carefully onto her pillows “ ok…let’s play a game!’ she suggested “ it’s called twenty questions”

“you said five minutes Anika” he reminded her “ and you have already lost one minute, you have four more left and unless you can fit twenty questions into four minutes I suggest that you hurry up”

She rolled her eyes “four minutes is a lot of time, now stop talking and listen to how its played”

“ each of us get to ask twenty questions to the other person. It can be anything and everything and the person has to answer”
