His hands were placed on Naina's waist, securing her close to himself, while her hands were resting on his chest, feeling his heart pounding against his chest, indicating that even though he was acting tough, he was probably as nervous as her. Though the kiss was a slow and soft one, it was filled with the pure feelings that their hearts were containing for each other.

Breaking the kiss, Sameer rested his head against Naina's head, after gently holding her face, said in a soft tone

Sameer - As long as I am in this world, I'll protect you and be with you, no matter what.

Naina looked up after hearing this, staring deep into his eyes, as if examining this other softer side of him.

Sameer - Kya hua? Cheesy laga kya? Sorry maine pehli baar kisi ladki ko aisa kaha hai toh yeh dialogues n all aate nahi mujhe theek se ( *Sheepish grin* )

Naina - ( *confused* ) pehli baar kisi ladki ko? Apki koi girlfriend nahi thi kya pehle?

Sameer - Nahi?

Naina - I knew it!

Naina - Banti bhi kaise? Aap hain hi itne irritating. ( *teasing* )

Sameer - Ma-main irritating?! Main irritating?! ( *pointing towards himself* )

Naina - Aur nahi toh kaun? , wo toh main sirf main hun jo sambhal pati hun apko, aur koi hoti toh pagal ho chuki hoti ab tak.

Sameer - Of course, koi aur hoti toh pagal ho chuki hoti, par tum kaise pagal ho sakti ho? Tum toh pehle se hi pagal ho. Mrs pagal Maheshwari!

Naina - Mai-main pagal?!

Sameer - Haan! Aur aankhe kharab hai tumhari, check karwalo, ladkiyan fidaa thi is chehre par, wo toh main hi bhav nahi deta tha kisiko ( *raising his collar* )

Naina - ( *taking out a card from her purse* ) Yeh lijiye

Sameer - Yeh kya hai?

Naina - Eye specialist ka card, aankhe check karwa lijiye, apki bhi aur un ladkiyon ki bhi, bade aye ( *mocking him* ) ladkiya fidaa thi is chehre par.

Sameer - ( *irritated* ) Tumse toh baat karna ki bekaar hai naina devi kahinki ( *twitched his lip* )

Naina - Toh maine kab bola ki mujhse baat kijiye warna neend nahi ayegi, aur aap bachpan se itne nakchadhe hain?

Sameer - Nahi tumse milne ke baad ban gaya

Naina - Apke kehne ka matlab kya hai?

Sameer - Ki tum nackchadhi ho ( *smirking* )

Naina - Main nak...nakchadhi?! ( *pointing towards herself* )

Sameer - Pooch rahi ho ki bata rahi ho?

Naina - ( *irritated* ) Uggg!! Aap se toh baat hi nahi karni chahiye

Sameer - Toh maine kab bola ki mujhse baat karo warna neend nahi ayegi? ( *smirking* )

Naina - ( *offended* ) ( *under her breath* ) Mr. Irritating Maheshwari
( *pulled the sheets over her* ) Huh!

Sameer - ( *mimicking her* ) Huh!
( *chuckled* ) Mrs. Pagal Maheshwari

Naina puffed her cheeks and pushing the sheets down, looked at him before again pulling the sheet over her and drifting off to deep sleep.

Sameer chuckling a little at her antics, got up from the bed, and taking his phone, walked out of the room, into the balcony.
As soon as he switched on his phone, a name flashed with the caller ID of the person he had last expected to talk to right now.

Sameer - ( *picking up the call* ) Hello?

Candle - Hi Sameer why weren't you picking up my call? Do you know how much it worried me?

Sameer - Ms. D'souza I don't think it should worry you so much. Since, the mission is over now I don't think there is actually any need to have any conversation

Candle - Well I was thinking ( *in a flirty tone* ) maybe we could go on a little date?

Sameer - You do realize that I am married right?

Candle - Doesn't matter, she'll never know so just chill and even if she find's I think she's not going to mind it.

Sameer - But I will. So sorry Ms. D'souza but I can't. Also we are going back tomorrow so I don't think I have time for this

Candle - But weren't you going to leave Russia after a few days more?

Sameer - Oh I was, but my wife said that she wants to return to India that's why we are leaving tomorrow

Candle - ( *irritated* ) Then let her go by her own!

Sameer - Excuse me?

Candle - I-I mean, if she wants to retun back then let her go alone, so we can spend more time together

Sameer - ( *smirked* ) No but thanks for the offer, also ( *To irritate her more* ) I really love my wife, so I don't want her to get upset because of me

Candle - ( *irritated* ) But...

Sameer - ( *interrupting her* ) I think she is calling me-So bye.

Candle - Sam....

But before she could say anything else Sameer disconnected the call irritating her even more.

Candle - How dare he cut my call? His wife is just irritating me to no extent. Maybe I should just kill her first for my revenge and to get him.

Candle - Guess then we'll cross paths really soon Mrs. Maheshwari ( *Smirked* )

• ───────•••─────── •

Sameer - Naina! Naina!

Sameer tried waking Naina up, but she just stirred in her sleep, not wanting to break her peaceful dream.
As decided, they were leaving Russia before sunrise.

As Naina was not waking up, Sameer gently examined her to ensure that she was still breathing.

Sameer - ( *smacked his head inwardly* ) Of course zinda hai wo, kaisi kaisi baate soch raha hai tu?

Sameer - Dammit! Mujhe pehle hi decide karke Naina ko bol dena chahiye tha taaki wo ready rehti abhi toh madam uthne ka naam bhi nahi le rahi. Aur itni gehri neend main kaun sota hai? Pata hi nahi chal raha ki so rahi hai ya behosh ho chuki hai ( *sighed* ) I guess then flight mein hi subha hogi iski aaj.

Saying this to himself, he picked Naina up in the bridal style and placing her in the backseat beside him, ordered the driver to start the car and drop them at their destination as fast as he could.

Looking out of the window, Sameer started thinking about the hardtime that the place had given to his wife. He looked back at Naina, who was snuggled against his arm, she was looking so innocent in her sleep, absolutely carefree and happy.

Stroking her cheek, he placed a soft kiss on the top of her head.

Few minutes later :

Driver - Sir, we are here!

The driver said pulling Sameer out of his faint sleep.

Sameer - Hm, fine!

Opening the door, Sameer got out of the car, and again carried Naina in the same style and forwarded towards their private jet.

Just as he was a little away from the jet, a steward came and offered his help to carry Naina inside but Sameer glared at him on hearing this, scaring the hell out of the poor soul.

Entering their room, Sameer placed her on the bed, while being careful enough to not wake her up. And once the plane took off, he made himself comfortable beside her and pulling her close to himself, inhaled her sweet scent before falling into a blissful dream.

• ───────•••─────── •

Naina unwantedly opened her eyes and groaned inwardly having to break her peaceful sleep, but the scene she saw infront of her on waking up was surely breathtaking. She was snuggled into Sameer's chest, while his hands were on her waist, placed tightly to not let her move away but not tight enough to hurt her.

He was looking handsome as always even in the disheveled state and his messed up hair was just making him look even hotter. While his cologne was making her loose all her senses. Naina slowly raised her hand and reached out to touch his face. She traced his jawline, and the stubble which was making him look even manlier. And finally her wandering hands reached his bare chest but before she could do anything, his hands held here and he opened his eyes.

Sameer - Taking advantage of a sleeping man, are we?

Sameer said in his raspy voice causing tingles to erupt in Naina's stomach.

Naina - ( *started stuttering* ) W-wo ma-main

But before she could say anything, someone barged into the room and within the blink of an eye, both of them were sitting upright with Naina pulled into Sameer's protective embrace while his gun pointing straight towards the invader. But luckily the invader was just a steward who was doing his job.

Steward - ( *stuttering in fear* ) S-sir a-am really so-sorry for ba-barging in, I-I was ju-just trying to d-do my job

Becoming a little confused by everything, Naina looked around her sorrounding and finally realised that they were no longer in their room, but mid-air flying to somewhere else.

Sameer - What the hell are you doing here?!

Steward - S-sorry sir I didn't wa-want to disturb you that's why didn't knock

Sameer - The hell? You think that knocking on the door is like disturbing someone but barging in isn't?

Steward - S-sorry sir! I really did-didn't mean to annoy you

Sameer - shh! Enough with your excuses, don't utter even a word more or I'll kill you right away and dispose off your body without any trace!

Naina - ( *pulling him* ) Sameer please jaane dijiye, sorry bol toh raha hai na bechara? Please baat ko yahi khatam kar dijiye. Please ee ( *puppy dog eyes* )

Sameer - ( *inhaled deeply* ) Fine! ( *To the steward* ) Fine! I'll spare you today but if I ever have such an experience again I'll be sure to lunch my bullet into your brain.

The poor steward was terrified on seeing the gun, but somehow gaining his composure he managed to answer Sameer's questions without running away or angering him anymore.

Sameer - Also don't you dare come here again, send anyone else you want except you! Get it?

Steward - ( *nodded slowly* )

Sameer - I said get it?!

Steward - Ye-yes sir! I get it!

Sameer - Good! Now get out!

Without uttering even a word more, the steward ran for his dear life closing the door behind him, thanking Naina for holding him back.

Naina - ( *remembering where they were* ) Sa-sameer? Hum toh hotel mein the na? Yaha kab aye?

Sameer - ( *finally calmed down* ) wo kuch immediate kaam agaya hai isliye jaldi nikalna pada isliye tumhe uthake le aya

Naina - Yeh kidnapper jaisi baate na kijiye. Uthaya kyun nahi mujhe fir?

Sameer - Nahi uthaya? Aree tum so hi itni gehri neend main rahi thi ki mujhe doubt hone laga tha ki so rahi ho ya behosh ho gayi ho, hospital phone karne wala tha main.

Naina - ( *caught off-guard* ) Ha-haa-haan toh thoda aur uthana chahiye tha na ki main uth jau, apne toh mehnat bhi nahi ki hogi bilkul

Sameer - Acha? Next time na tumhe paani ki tanki mein phek dunga uthane ke liye, theek hai?

Naina - Kya?!

But before Naina could say anything more, Sameer remembered something and interrupted her.

Sameer - ( *interrupting her* ) jhagda baad mein kar lena pehle suno, kal shaam ko ek party hai toh ready rehna uske liye, maine pehle hi saari tayariyan kardi hai bus tum pls late mat hona

Naina - Theek hai.

Sameer - ( *lying down on the bed again* ) Acha so jao abhi, pahunchne mein bahut time hai abhi bore ho jaogi.

Naina - Hm.

Naina laid back down on the bed beside Sameer, and dozed off barely within a minute. She snuggled into Sameer after feeling cold but sameer just lightly chuckled at her cuteness and childishness.
