Breaking the Ice - ShivIka

3. Annika's "Unknown" Problem

Shivaay had hardly walked ten steps when he heard Annika scream.

"SHIVAAAAYYYYYYY"

"What?? What happened?"

"Woh actually... that.. woh.."

"Arre.. hua kyaa hai?"

But, she did not say anything. She kept pointing towards her bag.

"Inside that... inside that..."

"What happened Annika? Say something.. Lizard? Rat? Should I call the room service? Chalo wait, let me call right away"

He almost went to make a call when she signalled him to stop.

"No Shivaay.. not that.."

He was confused by her reaction.

"Then what?"

"That.. that is not my bag Shivaay"

That's all??!! Just because that was not her bag, she screamed!!?? But, wait.. How is that even possible? They brought it right from the car into the hotel, into the room(s). Then, how come?

"Are you sure? Aise kaise ho saktha hai? You only brought it right" He was all the more puzzled now.

"No.. I mean.. will you even listen to me first Shivaay"

"Accha.. go ahead then.. You are the one who still seems to be so lost"

"Woh... That is not mine... I mean the bag is mine, but the clothes are not mine"

He was completely baffled would be an understatement. Now, he was almost sure there was something definitely wrong with her today.

"Have you gone nuts Annika?"

Seeing no reaction from her was when he decided to go close to her to check what exactly her problem was with the bag.

"Those are not mine Shivaay. I promise" She pouted.

It was then he peeped into the bag and realised the reason for her actions and reactions. The bag contained many sets of scanty clothing.

'Like seriously? And, I am thinking she is not interested in this trip? I am mad. Completely mad!'

"And you screamed for this?" He asked her.

"Woh.. haan.. How will I wear them? Those are not my clothes Shivaay. I did not pack them."

"Accha.. Then who packed madam?" He asked huskily.

Sheeesh! That is when she realised who the culprit was. Soumya?!! But, why did she do this?

"Woh.. woh.. actually.. Soumya packed my clothes" She pouted again.

Gosh! What would she wear now?

"Acchaa.. And, I was thinking someone was not interested in this trip. Hmm.. it's ok.. don't worry, you can wear them.. I won't tease you ;-)" He winked.

She could see his eyes change color, like with a different kind of desire. Her cheeks heated up, yet how could she wear them.

"No.. I wo..won't wear them.. I cannot wear this 2rs chote chote kapde Shivaay.. I need some clothes..proper clothes.. Come on.. arrange them for me, right away"

"Are you serious, Annika? It is ten o'clock in the night"

"So what? You only keep saying.. Shivaay Singh Oberoi yeh kar saktha hai, woh kar saktha hai.. Then can't you do this for your biwi?" She stressed on the word 'biwi'.

"If my biwi wants, I am ready to do so many other things.." He said coming close to her.

"Chee... such a cheapde you are.. " She said moving behind when her hands caught hold of something familiar.
