Shivaay swiftly picked her up and she flushed. It wasn't that it happened for the first time but it happened after a very long time and this felt to her like something new... something very heartfelt.

"It's illegal here." She whispered in his ear and he nodded.

"Act as if you just- fainted." He whispered back and she giggling nodded and resting her head onto his shoulder she let her hand fall low and swing as he walked out of the market fast.

"Hey, man. What's wrong?" The guard asked and shivaay looked at Anika and then acted.

"She's my wife. She just fainted, I'm taking her to hospital." He replies panicky and Guard opened the gate for him and dropped him to his car. He even opened the doors for him.

"I feel sad for tricking him" Anika mumbled as Shivaay drove out of the car park.

"It's illegal to carry wife in public, you said so yourself," Shivaay replied taking heavy breaths.

"I weight like?" She asked pouting seeing him huffing so bad.

She thought she weighted like 100's and he was tired of carrying her.

"Like 50... why?" He asked looking at her and she smiled.

"I thought I was like 100." She sadly said and he chuckled

"I would still carry you around. But, you aren't going to weight like that ever." He said making her smile and he too smiled seeing her smiling.

"I was thinking... where are we going?" She asked playfully holding his hand.

"If you keep touching me like this- nowhere." He spoke in his husky voice and she froze and then dropped his hand.

"Sorry." She turned beetroot red and he smiled Internally!

"What you'd like to eat?" He asked parking the car at the petrol station.

"Anything like... What you like!" She told him and he nodded.

"I would eat it but what about you?" He asked and paid the money to the man who filled the tank.

"I'd like to eat spaghetti with red wine and a chocolate lava cake... and anything else which you will eat." She told biting her lips and looking at him as if stealing glances.

"We're married. You can look at me as much as you want." He told her and she covered her face with her hands and turned her face.

"Oh God. You're so weird," he said and drove toward the hotel where he had planned everything. He could not find anywhere else as best as his own hotels so he booked one of his own suits outside the city, hotel.

She eventually fell asleep as he drove them out of the city and into the outskirts and then finally came to the hotel.

"Now I think- the mouse's which were once dancing in my stomach is probably eating me as their meal" she whined and he looked at her lovingly.

"You didn't tell me you were hungry..." He jerked it off and stepped out the car and walked to her side.

"I thought you'd use little thing called, 'common sense... Alas! You don't have one." She joked and he looked at her as if he is offended.

"Watch your mouth, dear wife, I'm your husband!" He said in a serious tone and she looked at him and stick out her tongue.

"As if that'll stop me?" She too stepped out and he smiled.

"As if I'm serious. Want me to carry you?" He asked like a really good gentleman and she just giggled.

"Stop shivaay! I feel so shy..." She stated and started to walk toward the hotel and stopped nearing the entrance.

"Why aren't you walking?" She asked and he made faces.

"You're in such a rush... I have to be the one, who leads YOU inside." He said cutely and she went on 'aw' as he stomped his feet's on the floor like an angry,  cute little kid.

"I'm so sorry baby... Come on." She went back to him and dragged him toward the entrance and they entered the hotel,  arms locked.

She looked around disappointing and then sighed and just followed him around and sat on the chair as he went on to talk with one staff member. She hoped to see some arrangements but she didn't saw any. When he acted cutely outside,  she thought,  he might've arranged something's and didn't want her to go alone but her all the thoughts came crashing down as she sat down on the old wore off the chair of the waiting hall. Tears threatened to spill but she pushed them back and stretched out a cute and forced smile...

He saw her fighting back the tears and smiled. He knew the reason,  he didn't intend to make her feel bad or shatter her hopes but he just wanted to surprise her,  when she didn't expect it to be... He wanted to surprise her for real! When she knew- there aren't any surprises.

"Let's go..." He asked for her hand and she smilingly placed hers on his and gulped harder to swallow the lump which was chocking her as she resisted the emotions of crying.

"What he said?" She asked and he shrugged.

"Who?" He asked trying to indulge her in talks... Trying to stretch the conversation.

"The staff member,  what did you want to talk about?" She asked leaning her head on his shoulder,  sadly.

"Oh that, I was confirming my booking... He said there's not any and all that and later apologized." He lied straightforward...

"So what's next?" She asked as the walked toward the restaurant of the hotel. She smiled slowly as he looked at her.

"What happened? Are you tired? Should we go back?" He asked hiding his smiles and she just shrugged.

"Nothin... I'm fine... hungry!" She tried to say it playfully but it sounded as if she was irritated.

"Let's move fast..." he smiled and dragged her toward the restaurant and suddenly the light went off.

"Damn... What's this now" Shivaay acted and she clenched onto his shirt tightly.

"I'm scared. What's with this light?" She asked holding tightly onto him.

"They'll surely fix it in some time... let's sit on our table." He said and hugged her. He walked holding her closer and she just moved her legs with his as he walked. She tightly held onto him and closed her eyes. Fear and scattered Hope of hers made her cry. Crying silently she held back her sobs. Tears wetting his shirt and he felt, bad. He engulfed her tightly and kissed her forehead as he stopped right beside the table booked for them.

Making her sit on her chair he walked to his and held her hand over the table.

"Why did you cried?" He asked looking at her direction. Even though nothing was visible.

"You... come beside me. I can't see you and its freaking me out." She didn't answer him instead asked him to come to her.

"Okay..." he smiling trailed and suddenly the light came back. The bright light made her close her eyes and she covered her eyes with her hands before slowly opening them.

"O... my God!" She excitedly shouted and he smiled looking at her squeal like a child seeing the decorated table and surroundings...

"So I gave up early!" She sadly pouts and looked at him.

"I say, yes." He folded his arms on his chest.

"I can make it fine... thank you." She said and leaning forward gently pecked his lips.

He smiled and held her hand as she sat across the table in front of him. Bright moonlight like light falling over her making her face shine. She looked around and smiled broadly seeing all the balloons and flowers covering the floor of the room which was specially decorated for them... specifically for her.

The whole room had the dim lighting except for her... she shined under the bright light. It was specially arranged to be set on her.

She romantically looked at him and he just smiled seeing her happy. He didn't do much this time, just... simple stuff.

"It's a candlelight dinner." She asked playing with his hand.

"Yeah... kind of." He smiled and looked at her.

"Where are the candles then?" She asked smirking.

"They'll come when food will." He stood up and walked over to her side.

"Would you like some wine before?" He asked like a real gentleman.

"Huh?" She looked at him and he smiled.

"I asked, would you like some wine, Ma'am?"

"I sure will... sir." She smirked and he smirked back as if they both were teasing each other. "Only if you'll be able to handle me in the tipsy condition..." she added and he nodded.

"I sure as hell can handle you, Anika." He said leaning closer to her face and she gulped hard.

"Dammit." She cursed and looked away.

She was having a hard time controlling herself. It was as all her horny hormones were banging inside her mind,  making her imagine sexiest things ever. She licked her lips more than often making it all so obvious. He was also well aware of her sexual tension and hell if he lies,  he was in the same position as hers...

It wasn't their fault as they felt like this. It was her pregnancy which had made them so desperate. All the feelings have been bottled up for so long and now they're ready to burst out of their bottle.

Shivaay poured themselves some wine and they both sipped little from their glasses while looking at each other, deep into the eyes as if searching for one's soul.

Their moment broke as the music started playing and looking around her she found a small music band. They played the soft romantic music on their instruments and their bodies itched to dance on the music.

Shivaay forwarded his hand and she gulped down her whole drink before placing her hand in his.

"I thought you haven't planned anything like this... I feel sorry." She mumbled and he smiled.

"You already did." He said leading her little away from the table.

"Yes, I love you." She said and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"I too love you... now what?" He asked placing his hand on her waist and slowly dancing on the music which played behind them. Shivaay passionately looked at her and she looked back intently.

"Had you told me before, I wouldn't be wearing this dress- Something better..." She mumbled and he chuckled.

"You look good in this one too. Not a big difference." He replied and she shyly smiled.

Her head rested on his shoulder as they both slowly danced on the music... They both never liked dancing much but they were loving it right now. It was like their fav moment from all the previous ones and they wanted to enjoy it as much as they can.

10 minutes passed and they were done as the waiter arrived with their dinner and she smiled as they walked back to their table. Her stomach rumbled and Shivaay looked up to her and she giggled shyly.

"I told you, I am hungry." She sat saying and filled her plate with the things she wanted to eat. Not even waiting for him to sit and join her, she just started eating digging inside her plate.

It was just lunch they escaped but it felt as if Anika hadn't eaten since days and he would be wrong to not admire her. As she dug into her plate cherishing the long, soft boiled noddles- he rested his elbows on the table and set his chin on his hands and watched her as she childishly ate her food. His lips curved up into one of his beautiful smiles but she was hell busy chomping down her spaghetti. If she saw him right now, she would be falling all over again for him, head over heels... He looked that much handsome. 

Well, he eventually fell in love with her, all over again. He was willing to give up on his food too so just he could see her such cute antics. 

As soon as her stomach was satisfied enough she felt his hot gaze on her and gulped hard before peeking up to see him dreamingly looking at her and that smile, she couldn't miss it. Her eyes fixed on him as she saw him lost looking at her.

"Shivaay-..." She softly called him out and he smiling looked down and then looked back at her.

"Sorry... I was just..." He tried to speak but she cut him out.

"That's fine... Why're you not eating?" She asked, pointing down at his plate and he smiled and shrugged.

"To be very much honest, I was busy looking at you. Do you even know how much cute you're?" He smiled and she rolled her upper lip inwardly and bit it with her teeth lightly as she felt her cheeks turning red and heat coming out of them.

He made her blush so bad... 

"Maybe... just like you." She answered starting to play with her fork and noodles. She was avoiding his eyes as if he isn't her husband but her boyfriend who just sexually complimented her.

"Umm... Anika, you know I'm your husband?" He asked as if he was doubting it himself.

"I know." She answered with her teeth in tight formation.

"Uh-uh... I was doubting, I feel as if I'm your boyfriend and you're here with me and your family doesn't know about it. You know... I can't explain the reason." He answered her query and she chuckled.

"Yeah- I feel same, except, I don't have no family to hide this from." Her mere words changed their moods and then the silence prevailed as they quietly ate their food. No more romantic looks or cute glares... Just the sound of their tensed breaths.

She exactly knows how to spoil the very good atmosphere by just her little nonsense words... He ate faster than her and she just kept onto playing with her food because she was too full now. The little food and his sudden silence filled up her stomach too fast.

"Let's go If you're done playing?" He asked her with a playful voice which she didn't expect. Not wanting to spoil their special night he just ignored how in a matter of seconds she spoiled his mood. 

Does she even think before speaking? He thought to himself and offered her his hand.

"Where are you taking me? I thought we were going to head back now." She asked looking at him and he just smiled cheekily.

"I think there's something better to do than just head back. Any problem if we don't go back?" He asked her and she shrugged.

"Not one I can think of... I'm fine." She smiled and gripped back his hand with which he was holding her hand.

He leads her toward the last floor of the hotel where he has booked a room and she stopped in her tracks for a while before moving along with him. She hasn't thought about it... 

Is he planning to do that tonight?  Her mind questioned her and she shakes her head as if trying to get rid of those thoughts.

He entered before her and switched on the lights and then asked her to follow and she nervously nodded and entered behind him and her heart literally skipped a beat as she the atmosphere of the room... She wasn't really expecting this and that made her nervous.

I don't even have any clothes... I don't think I'm ready... No. She self talked and turned to him to tell the same but...

To Be Continued...

Thank you... Keep reading and then ending...
