Yours & Mine - Our little paradise

Chapter 11

He twirled her around lifting her up with her back pressed to his chest and spun her around. He was the earth beneath her wings and there was nothing more beautiful than standing tightly embraced in his arms, fingers entwined feeling he needed her in his life with the same intensity, the same madness and the same passion as much as she needed him to survive.

Her pulse raised as he slowly slid her down back to her feet. Twirling her away he smiled looking at her for a brief moment and the next moment she was pulled back into his arms. Sliding her arms around his neck she looked into his eyes, mesmerized by the intensity he held within his gaze. Her hand automatically moved up to his cheek, brushing her fingers along his jawline. He closed his eyes to let the storm her gentle caresses created soak him deep down to every core of his existence. Lifting her hand from his cheek, he kissed her palm letting his lips linger there for a moment. "Stop looking at me like that or else I will....." He looked at her tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Or you will?" She smirked tilting her head with an raised eyebrow. "I will tell you once we are done overhere." He answered in a husky whisper and twirled her around once again. She spun around crashing back into his chest, he encircled his arms around her waist leaving no space between them. Moving her hand up his chest, she let her palm rest right above his thumping heart. "Mine." She whispered looking into his eyes, her own eyes glittering like the sparks of a fire. "Yours....always and forever." He whispered back dropping a kiss on her forehead. Closing her eyes, she leaned her head on his shoulder wrapping her arms around him. His arms encircled her very tenderly with his hands caressing the small of her back softly, he closed his eyes resting his chin on her head. As they swayed to the music in their own little world on a far distance their family members looked at the pair in extreme aww, praying silently, wishing the evil eye to stay far far away from the heart and soul of their family.

They were still lost in the bliss off the moment holding onto each other tight, wishing this moment to last forever. "Ahem, Shaurya?" Irritated on hearing the voice break their moment Shaurya looked over Mehak's shoulder to find Jiya standing on a distance. "Jiya.." Mehak turned her head around upon hearing Jiya's name. "May I?" Jiya came forward extending her hand toward Shaurya. She looked at Mehak silenty asking for her consent. Shaurya's tensed eyes darted from Jiya and the next second shifted onto Mehak. "Yaah sure why not." To Shaurya's surprise she agreed. The most shocking part of it was the smile on her face, that smile was genuine beyond his imagination. "She is the host of the party so for this time I am letting her dance with you." She whispered to him in a low voice. "And remember uske saath ziada chipakne ki zaroorat nahi hai, nahi to "Shaurya Malai Korma" aaj hee investor's ki plate mein serve kar doun ghi." She whispered again winking, leaving a speechless Shaurya behind. "Enjoy." She said walking away letting Jiya take her spot.

As soon as Mehak left them alone on the dance floor, Jiya placed her hand in his hand and the other hand dropped on his shoulder. As they swayed to the soft music in the background he smiled at her maintaining a respectful distance between them. He couldn't help but smile looking over Jiya's shoulder toward his wife and his daughter who were indulged into their favourite dessert. While he was busy adoring his two beautiful angels, Jiya was having a time of her life. Her eyes couldn't help but wander all over his handsome features. "Ohh man he has got the most gorgeous smile." Jiya's innerself echoed in her ear. She had been working for him since a few years now and this was the first time in a long while she had the opportunity to be this close to him. No doubt like every other girl who knew about this hell of a gorgeous man's existence, even she had a crush on him from the beginning itselfs, from the time she had seen him on the cover of a magazine. Way before she had started working for white chillies. Even she was heart broken when the news of Shaurya Khanna's marriage broke out. He was getting married to one of the contestants of his show. How she wished to have participated in ISC, how she wished to be Mehak Sharma. Unfortunately destiny had some other plans for her. Working with The Shaurya Khanna was like a dream. It was quite unbelievable when she got chosen to be the head chef of White Chillies, it was a dream come true. Sometimes she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy seeing how much Shaurya loved Mehak. Mehak was literally the beginning and ending of his everything. Mehak would reflect in his every move, in his every word, in the depth of his eyes. How she wished to be loved the way Shaurya loved Mehak. There was silence between them. She had so many things to say which she normally never had the courage to say but tonight she had decided to tell him that one thing  that had been bothering her since a long time now. She knew he wouldn't utter a word, his body might have been there with her all this while but Mehak had taken his heart and his soul along. So she decided to break the silence. "Shaurya, can I ask you for a favour?" He tilted his head her way upon hearing her ask him for a favour.
