"Ms Shanaya!" welcoming Shanaya with a full genuine smile Mr Singhania in his blue Armani suit and hair styled in a pony spread his arms to hug her.
Wearing a red bodycon knee-length sleeveless formal dress with a golden belt at the middle of the waist with a black stiletto, Shanaya had opted for a light red lipstick and had her hair free down her waist. She had no piece of jewellery, her diamond ring and Hermes watch only the thing on her body apart from the dress.She felt confident in the dress, which was same as her office going dress.
Smiling at Mr Singhania, she side hugged him for not more than a second and withdraw as soon as possible without hurting his sentiments.
She knew she had to meet several people at the party, and she had herself mentally and physically prepared.
But, under no condition, she was ready to hug any stranger.
Mr Singhania was exceptional, for he was her partner in the deal and he had no idea what had happened with her.
Not like she was interested in telling anyone about it.. She wanted no sympathy or pity.
She glanced at the surrounding when Mr Singhania get busy with Vansh and found the party to be decent and eye-catching. The party was at the rooftop of the hotel Mr Singhania owns and, no one was supposed to be allowed on the top two floors of the seven-floor hotel.
Five minutes later, when Mr Singhania ask them to enjoy the party, they both move away from him and, that's when Shanaya realized the guest of the party was not present.
She could not sight Vihaan anywhere!
"Where is Vihaan?" turning toward Vansh, she enquired while keeping the curiosity deep inside her.
Vansh took a moment to speak as if he was hiding something, but before he could give away, he looked at his watch and replied casually" He must be here in minutes."
"I am going to use the washroom," informing Vansh, Shanaya moved away from him.
Upon enquiring, she came to know the washroom was on one floor down and she descended the stairs.
Five minutes later, she was walking through the corridor of the seventh floor to ascend the stair when she received a notification and, she stopped.
Saar had liked her Instagram posts again.
"I am not going to be affected by him anymore." repeating the words in her mind, Shanaya walked forward, her eyes still on the phone.
Vihaan was ascending the stairs to the rooftop in his black suit and shirt when he reached the end of the stair and saw Shanaya coming from another side, her eyes focused on her phone.
She was at a minute distance from him, but, she seemed not to notice him.
Vihaan was about to take another step toward the stairs leading to the rooftop when he heard footsteps coming from the downside. Turning his face, he saw a group of the man holding chairs and desk and moving toward the corridor Shanaya was walking.
They had their face partially covered because of chairs and desks, and they were moving ahead without much knowledge of any other person.
Looking at the post of Saar, Shanaya had no idea what was happening when suddenly she was pulled by someone.
She bumped into someone's hard ċhėst and, her hands reached forward on its own to grab the person's shoulder to support herself.
It took a moment for Shanaya to realize she was in Vihaan's arm and felt his arms snaking around her waist when she heard Vihaan's voice" Watch it!"
The next thing she realized was going to be the reason for her death.
Her lips were on his neck!
Standing against the wall on his back, his hands around Shanaya's waist, Vihaan was in heaven. He had pulled her to protect from the passerby, but he had never imagined the consequences. He could feel her hands on his shoulder gripping so hard, it was going to have him another bruise, but like he cared for that. But feeling her lips on his neck skin, it has no words.
But, what he knows, he could live like that forever.
Standing against each other almost skin to skin, he could hear her pounding heart and his body could feel the warmth of her body. He found her every curve fitting perfectly with his as if she was made just for him.
He pulls her toward him more when he felt her pushing away and spoke:" Are you okay? Where was your mind?"
He was not ready to let her go so soon.
Shanaya could hear the concern in his voice even though her eyes were looking at the wall. She had understood the situation the moment she had heard Vihaan speaking the others to watch out. But, she had no idea how to answer.
Speaking would result in her lips murmuring against, his skin and, she was not going to do it at all!
Thank you very much!
Creating some distance between her lips and his neck, she had just spoken" I am fine" when she felt herself being pulled again, her lips once again leaving the marks on his neck.
"I think we need to leave, they will keep on coming" answering to Shanaya as an act of justification, Vihaan loses his grip with very difficulty.
He did not want to lose the feeling.
"Oh my god!" putting her palms on her mouth, Shanaya's eyes spread wide when she saw Vihaan's neck covered with red lipstick.
Her lipstick.
Vihaan's brows were arched while looking at Shanaya in confusion when he saw Shanaya speaking and heard her" I am so sorry! I will remove it right now."
"Remove what?" asking casually, Vihaan adjusted his dress and roam his hand on his hair.
Shanaya was too embarrassed and shy to answer. Telling him, he had her lipstick marks on his neck would be too much for her!
Playing hide and seek with him with her eyes, Shanaya lowered her gaze and murmured" You have lipstick marks on your neck."
"Oh!" was all Vihaan could say.
"I will just get a tissue." turning toward the stairs, Shanaya had just started walking when she felt Vihaan's right hand grabbing her right arm, stopping her from moving more.
"It's okay. I will manage it."Vihaan spoke while not looking at her and, touching his neck with a free left hand where the marks were present, he looked at her with a gaze full of love.
