Kaira's POV:

Get a grip, Kaira!

Getting hold of the V in the pipe tightly, I pulled myself up in a stable position.

I sighed. That was close to getting my bones broken. Or worse let anyone know I was trying to sneak in my fiancé's house.

My heartbeat came to normal when my feet were flat on Sidharth's balcony. I patted my shoulder proudly for completing this 3-floor climb.

Damn, I broke my record of 2 floors!

Tiptoeing in the corridor, I noticed the light coming from his study and made my way over to it as quietly as possible.

I grinned standing in front of it and knocked.

Sidharth's voice grumbled from inside "Now what is it Adi? I have work to complete!"

Adi? Was he troubling him again?

Frowning I twisted the handle and walked in quietly. My frown was replaced by a smile as soon as my eyes fell on the person sitting behind the desk.

Sidharth was working on his laptop, his hair in a delicious looking mess, eyes focused on the screen and fingers tapping away at bullet speed across the keyboard.

How is he so handsome in everything he does?

I sighed inwardly as I just kept staring at him until he looked up and our eyes meet. His jaw drops and everything around us seemed to pause.

"Kaira!" He exclaimed "What—"

"Sshh! Keep it low! We don't want to wake up everyone!" I whisper yell as I cover the distance between us and stand in front of him, the desk between us. His eyes never left me as I dump down in the chair beside me flashing him a smile.

"What are you doing here? That too at this time?" He asks calmly.

"I missed you." I shrugged and his lips slide up in a half-smile "And today was Saturday, you couldn't come over so I did. Big deal!"

His smile was melting my heart as he asked "Do you know what time it is?"

Narrowing my eyes at the watch I said "Yeah, its 1 hour from I decided to come over. But I should be asking you that! You should be sleeping by now."

He chuckled "This deal is really important, Kaira. Though the meeting is in a few days I want it to be perfect! The minx is a really important company. It brings us new technologies and improves—"

My mind stayed at the name of the company he is so excited for and I decided I wanted to tell him.

"Sidharth" I interrupted him and he looks at me confused "Can I give you a suggestion?"

He smiled "Of course."

"Um— get the meeting with them done as soon as possible, I know your plans will impress them. Don't wait for too long—"

"What happened?" He interrupted, his eyes were slightly worried as they meet mine "Why are you hesitating? What is it? Go on."

How does he ways catch it?

"Its nothing with me. I'm worried for you, you are so excited and working your best for this deal and it would be bad if you take too long and your rivals win this project over—"

"Vikram Chatterjee? Of course, he is behind this one as well! I will—" He stopped typing on his laptop cutting himself off and narrows his eyes at me "Wait. How do you about his interests?"

I bite my lip as he crosses his arms and pins me to the chair with his gaze "Kaira? I told you to stay away from him! He is not a—"

"I didn't go to meet him. At least not on purpose!" I said softly, meeting his angry eyes I continue "Arav bhai had asked me to drop some file at Chatterjee Enterprises' headquarters, I didn't want to go myself but he really wanted me to so I agreed. I just had to drop it off at the reception and I was leaving when I saw him coming from the entrance and overheard him talking to someone about it. I was going to ignore and walk away but then I heard him cursing you and paused to know what's going on. It was totally coincidental!"

He sighed "Fine but I'm very serious about it Kaira, you don't know him as I do. He is not the one to stop and I know he is going to come after you—"

"Me? Why? Isn't he your rival?" I asked confused.

His worried eyes meet mine "He is. I knew he would be behind you for revenge for his brothers, remember that funfair we went to? But then— that day I saw him in your Goa trip video. He looked attracted to you. I have been keeping tabs on him though, he won't trouble you but we have to be careful if anytime he strikes."

My confusion increased further.

In Goa trip? How? Is it even possible?

"But Sidharth—"

"Forget it, I shouldn't have told you that. Let's concentrate on one thing at a time. Adi needs—" He waves a hand like its unimportant.

"Hey! I'm not here to talk about that idiot." I interrupted "I'm here for you, tonight is our time."

He gave me a heart-melting smile as he rests his elbows on the desk pushing his laptop aside "Okay. You tell me how did you come in?"

My cheeks warmed instantly "Um— the balcony?"

An amused eyebrow rose as he smirked "Really? You climbed up through the balcony? Its 3 floors!"

I shrugged "I've climbed till milkshake's balcony and that's 2 floors high. Yours was a little lengthy but I was determined."

He grinned and motioned with his hand "Come here."

Mocking my eyebrows I got up from my chair to walk around the desk towards him. Just as I stood by the end of the desk, waiting for him to say something as his eyes examine me from head to toes.

Does he think I got hurt? I'm not that clumsy, am I?

His eyes darkened at my leg and before I could see what got his attention he called out "Come closer."

Cautiously I take a few steps closer, in a blink, I was leaning by the desk sandwiched between it and Sidharth.

"Jump!" He whispers with his hands on my hips.

What is he up to?

Shrugging mentally I jumped slightly and with slight thud my butt got the privilege to sit on Sidharth's desk once again. Sidharth pulls my left leg towards him and slides my pajama's end up slightly, carefully running his thumb over my skin he glares at me.

Why is it burning suddenly? Did I get hurt or what?

Damn he looks so sexy with glares.

"What is this Kaira? Why do you have to be so clumsy? Why don't you even listen to me and be careful?" He scolds leaning over to his draw, he pulls out a first aid kit then a bandage from it, securing my rash completely.

"I was careful, it just happened. It wasn't even burning until you saw." I say softly.

"It shouldn't happen. I don't like seeing you hurt." He grunts, his fingers still caressing my ankle.

"Offo!" I rolled my eyes as I leaned down to pull his hand in mine and intertwined our fingers to lock them with me "I like these here."

He smiled pulling our hands to him, he kissed the back of my hand "I like you here."

I couldn't help but smile at that. He is so cute, no doubt I like him so much.

We stayed like that as he played with the ring in my finger, our engagement ring.

"It's beautiful—" I whisper and he looks up to meet my eyes "—the ring. Who picked it?"

"I did, fell in love with it the first time I saw and I knew if this is not the ring I'd slide in your finger, it'd be very difficult to find another." He says "But when it's in your finger, it's nothing compared to you, you are beautiful."

My heart fluttered like always at his compliment and I shrugged smiling at him. Our moment was interrupted by the vibration of his laptop beside me.

He reached out and checks the mail once before shutting it down. I chuckled as he shuts the lid.

"Good that you did it, now go to sleep, I should leave as well." I tell him jumping down.

He looked at me amused "You don't think I'll let you go at this time of night, do you?"

I tilted my head looking at him "You won't?"

"Its almost quarter to 2, you want to drive all the way back home? Not a chance." He grinned getting up.

Putting my hands on my hips I mock my eyebrows at him as I tease "Then what am I supposed to do? Don't know about you, but I'm pretty sleepy, mister."

"Hm. You can sleep with me." He gave a bright smile as he snaked an arm around my waist pulling me closer "I'll keep you close and warm, you won't need this jacket."

I chuckled resting my hands on his shoulders "You just want me to get it off."

He nodded "That I do, it's getting in our way. Too fluffy, I can't even hug you properly."

I couldn't help but laugh at his cute frown, pushing him back slightly I say "Let's go, I'm getting sleepy."

Hand in hand we made our way out of his study, closing the door behind us. Suddenly he stops, halting me as well and I look at him confused.

Giving me a smile he came closer and I waited for him to say something when he bent down and suddenly I was off my feet and in his arms.

I gasped hanging my arms behind his neck for support. He was so close. So beautiful.

This was the 3rd time he was carrying me like this, at least when I was conscious. But why now?

I decided to ask "What are you doing, Sidharth?"

"Carrying you." He grinned sheepishly.

Narrowing my eyes at him I asked again "Why—?"

"There, open the door!" He chirped and I noticed we were before his bedroom. Carefully withdrawing one arm from his neck, I twisted the handle to push it in.

Sidharth quickly kicks it shut after him and leads us to the bed "Pick your side."

I chuckled pointing to the right side. He just shrugged and winked as he puts me down on the bed "Sleep on whichever side you want, you'll end up in my arms."

I raised an amused eyebrow taking my jacket off "Really? How?"

Keeping the AC remote back after increasing the temperature he grins "I'll pull you back and won't let you go."

I wouldn't want to get away from you.

I was snapped out of my thoughts with Sidharth's voice from his closet "Would you like to change in my tshirt?"

"I'm in my pajamas." I told him and he poked his head out.

"Hm but I like you in my tshirt." He winked.

"I've worn them only once!"

"Exactly!" He says coming back in comfortable looking clothes "You should wear them more often."

I grinned "Don't worry about it, once I've settled in, half of your clothes won't be only yours."

"I'll be waiting." He whispered joining me under the comforter. Within mins we were busy cuddling. With his arm around my shoulder I rest my head on his chest, our tangled legs underneath as he plays with our fingers in front of us.

It felt like home in his arms, peaceful. My heart beats fast with every second I stare at him while his lazy concentration is on our fingers.

"Do you know what's tomorrow?" I whisper tracing his thumb with mine.

"Sunday?"

I snorted tilting my head slightly to look at him "December is starting tomorrow."

His fingers pause and he looks at me with a smile "Tomorrow? Wow!"

I snuggled closer as he whispers "If we had decided 1st December, we would be getting married tomorrow."

I chuckled "I know right. I would be away from my house, to live with your family, and seeing you every day."

"Holding you every night, kissing you at every chance with no one stopping." He continued pulling me closer.

"Who stops you now?" I teased.

"Situations!" He exclaimed "They keep us away."

I couldn't help but agree. I stayed quite which encouraged him to ask "Hey, your birthday is coming close, in next week, what do you want?"

I chuckled "Nothing, I'm already getting what I've wanted all my life. On one side I'll get a beautiful family, on other I'll get my career I've been working for all along. What more could I ask?"

"Nothing from me?" He frowned cutely "I want to give you something as well, at least something you'll remember when you look back."

I smiled snuggling closer "Every moment with you is memorable, Sidharth, you don't have to make any extra effort."

He just grunted in disagreement and I leaned up to peck his cheek "Okay, meet me once that day, that'll make me very happy."

He grinned "I intend to." He whispered pulling me closer to place a kiss on my forehead.

I smiled shifting my attention back to our fingers I ask "Do you think even after living together, we'd get time for us? Our schedules are so busy."

He shrugged caressing my fingertips "We would make time. Aren't we doing it now? Then we would be living together, we'll find a way."

I hope we do.

I just humed gazing at the ceiling lazily. Slight tug pulled me closer to his chest as if it was possible and he started narrating his imagination of our life.

"Every morning I'd wake up 2 mins before you just to stare at you sleeping peacefully in my arms, then I would get ready for gym and you for your badminton practice and we would leave together so that I would drop you and pick up after you are done." He whispered.

Trying to calm my racing heart I interrupted "You go to gym?"

His eyes snap to mine offended "Ouch! How you do think I maintain this body, babe?"

I chuckled continuing our fantasy "We would race for shower with our sweaty selves but I'd always beat you to it."

"I would let you win so that I can sneak in after you." He winked.

"Oh? Then I may kick you out." I teased continuing "I would help mom with breakfast and bring our coffees up while you shower. That time would be ours as we talk about the day ahead."

"Hm. You would help me with my tie after our coffee break and I wouldn't let you go until I get a kiss. We would have breakfast with our family and then I'd go to office for another long day without you."

"What if I get my internship letter and need to go to work?" I asked.

"I'd drop you to your work place so we get more time together." He shrugged before looking at me "When is it going to come?"

I frowned "I'm not sure, it should have been here in last month but now that it hasn't come I'm assuming it would be here by start of February."

He nodded "I hope it's soon, I'm excited to know where you'd be working."

"Just so that you can pick me up?"

"That and to see if we can get some privilege." He winked.

I snorted a chuckle before looking at him seriously "I don't want any privilege, Sidharth, the reason I don't take advantage to being my dad's daughter is not because I don't like him much but because I want to be known as me and not someone's this and that, I don't want that privilege."

He exhales softly caressing my shoulder with one arm while the other continues to play with my fingers as he whispers "Such things about you always make me fall for you more, Kaira."

You take my words, Sidharth.

"Either we would come home together or I'd be early so that I can spend time with my lovely new family, my evening time would be spent listening to Preeti's and mom's gossips or preeti and your banter or mom and dad telling stories of your childhoods, in all a perfect family time." I continued after a tranquil.

He smiled "And sometimes we'd go out for dates, sometimes we'd invite our friends over so that we don't cut them off our lives, and sometimes we rather stay in bed and cuddle watching movies."

I couldn't help but smile at his ideas "After dinner we would wrap up our left over work before 11 because I'd make the rule of 'no work after 11' and we would share about our day like everytime."

"I would steal kisses between our talks to get you in mood then I'd make love to you." He whispers seductively.

I smiled imagining it. Looking up to meet his eyes, I say "For calling it make love there should be love or it'll be just sex."

He tugged on me giving a heart melting smile "It'll never be just sex with you."

Would it?

I don't answer, he doesn't say a thing but with our eyes locked, they exchange a lot of emotions than we could ever put in words.

Suddenly the air around us tensed, our fingers' strokes seemed sensual, we were coming closer without notice— until one point when there was hardly an inch between our faces.

His eyes snap to my lips and I feel them getting dry. My fingers locked with his, he leaned down and our lips meet in a sensually sweet passion.

Our lips moulded together sending tingles of unknown carving through my body. Closing my eyes I surrendered to the feelings erupting and enjoy the sensation of kissing him.

Our intertwined hand rests against the bed as I'm turned on my back with Sidharth towering over, half his weight pressing down at certain parts of me as we deepen our kiss.

Lack of oxygen pulls us away for a min which we spend in admiring each other. He caressed my cheek with his free hand smiling down at me "You are so beautiful."

I smiled, my free hand playing with his hair before meeting him halfway once again in a more passionate kiss.

My lungs remind me at right moment and I pull back, Sidharth doesn't. Before I could even take a deep breath, my breath hitches as he trails wet kisses along my jaw.

How does he always make me crave for him and his kisses so much? Why do they feel so good?

"Sidharth..." I whispered through a moan as he places feathery kisses on my neck. I feel his lips twitching to a side in a smile against my skin as he gets to his favourite spot.

My hold on his hand as well as hair tightens as I feel him pricking at my skin sending jolts of desire and gratification. He gets to work with his kisses to ease the sting making me moan softly.

Just like it started, he trailed his lips back up to meet mine. This time I don't stop and bite his lower lip in sweet punishment at which he just groans appreciatively.

Pulling back he smirks at me with amusement making me roll my eyes. I didn't see him leaning down again to peck my lips, moving away immediately.

Then again. Once more and I had enough.

Pushing him back slightly I say "Uh, move. I'm going to sleep now."

He laughed tugging the comforter higher as he pulled me in his arms nonetheless. What would I say? Nothing.

I get comfortable with his arms around me and his shoulder as my pillow. Before slipping into deep sleep, I feel him pecking my forehead and whispering "Good night."

The sunlight peeking in through the thick curtains woke me up irritated. Opening my eyes, I met peacefully sleeping Sidharth beside with his bear like grip on me which instantly makes me smile.

I couldn't help but trace his facial features under my fingertips. He stirred slightly but didn't wake up.

Work and stress wears him out so much. He scolds me for not taking care, why won't he look after himself as well?

Without disturbing him, I tried to get out of bed. He just turns to the other side and I snorted at his childishness. Pulling my hair in a ponytail I make my way in the bathroom to do my daily business.

I was wiping my face when I heard a distinct thud.

Did he fall off the bed?

I giggled imagining it. But no, I was wrong when I heard it again and again.

"Sid bro! Are you still sleeping!? Wake up it's 8 already!" Came preeti's voice and I understood she was banging against the door.

8? Well, shit!

I peeked in the room to see Sidharth flinging a pillow at the door followed by a curse.

"Fine! We'll see what you do when bhabhi comes to wake you up from next month! Finally my Sunday duty would be
