The doorbell rings and my heart starts beating rapidly.

He's here.

Ma and Papa had gone out of Mumbai for the weekend to attend a distant relative's son's wedding and I was left all alone at home so I decided to call in Arjun.

In the last couple of months that we have started dating he has done so much for me, planned surprises, brought me gifts, always makes me smile and now it is my turn to make him feel special and what better opportunity than this.

I invited him to come over today, yesterday night when I was speaking with him on call and said it's just for dinner but he doesn't know there's going to be more than dinner here for him.

No, I'm not talking about doing anything dirty. Well, let's hope we don't do anything of that sort because it'll be weird doing something of that sort in my parent's house.

So for now, we will have to settle with me pampering Arjun and treating him the way he deserves.

I'm sure Arjun's definitely not expecting all that's stored in for him tonight.

A wide smile forms on my face at the thought and I rush towards the door.

On opening it, I'm greeted by the smiling face of him before he leans in and gives me a peck on my lips.

"Hi babe, thanks for having me over." He says as he pulls apart.

"The pleasure is all mine, babe. Come inside." I tell him and immediately step aside to let him in and then close the door.

"Here, I've got us some dessert." He says and hands over the packet in his hand to me.

"Wow, that's great." I tell him and lead him inside.

"The house smells different. You've done something to it?" He asked me.

"I've lit up some soothing candles that I got online. You like it?" I ask him.

"I love it." He tells me.

"Have a seat, I'll be back in a minute." I told him.

He passes me a nod and moves towards the sofa.

I go to the kitchen to get him a glass of water.

When I am back, I hand it over to him along with a sticky note.

He holds the glass in one hand and opens the note with another, his brows furrowed.

"What's this? Shravya's surprise for Arjun?" He asks me as he begins reading aloud the note.

"Well, you have to tell the order in which you'd like to avail these services by yours truly." I tell him and his lips form into an 'o'.

He looks so cute right now that I might as well just kiss him but I have to control.

This is supposed to be a pampering Arjun session not a kissing Arjun session.

"Okay let's see my options." Arjun mutters to himself as he begins reading the note further.

"A massage session, an amazing dinner, cuddling and watching a movie." He reads out and then looks up at me with a wide grin.

"Wow, wow, wow!" He says, making me laugh at his reaction.

"So which one is it first?" I ask him.

"Wait before we begin, I want to make some modifications." He tells me.

"What modifications?" I ask him.

"When you say massage, what do you mean?" He asked me.

"A head massage." I answer.

"Nope, change that to a full body massage." He says.

"What no way!" I immediately say in response.

"A body massage it is." He says.

"Nope, not happening, that'll be inappropriate." I told him.

"No, it won't if you don't make it. Wait, do you want it to be inappropriate? If yes, then by all means I'm going to cooperate and help you, if you know what I mean." Arjun says and winks at me.

I pick up the first cushion my hands land on and hit him with it causing some water from the glass to fall on him.

"Oops." Arjun says looking at me mischievously and I glare at him in response.

"Wait, let me get my blazer off." He tells me and stands up from his seat, taking it off the very next second.

I try to look away but fail miserably and instead end up drooling at him.

"Earth to Shravya." Arjun says bringing me out of my trance.

"Okay, a full body massage but an appropriate one." I announce.

"Aye aye captain." He tells me.

"Any other modifications, your majesty?" I ask him as I pass him the fakest sweet smile ever.

"Yes, two more." He announces.

"Why am I even doing this?" I mumble grumpily.

"Maybe because you have got an awesome boyfriend who you want to pamper?" Arjun answers.

"Shut up and go ahead." I told him.

"I think the dinner will be more amazing if you feed it to me." He says next.

"What are you? A five year old kid?" I ask him.

"You call me a kid, so I might as well just make demands like one." Arjun says with a smile on his face and bats his eyelashes at me.

"Stop acting cute." I told him.

"Is it working? Are you falling for my charms?" He asks me with a grin.

"Unfortunately it is. Second modification accepted. Go on and tell me the last one." I told him.

"Cuddling and watching a movie while staying over at your place today. Your parents won't be back until tomorrow evening right?" He asked me.

"Arjun no, not staying over." I immediately said,

"Why not?" He asked me.

"Because, because I don't know, it's not right. Nope, not happening." I tell him with finality in my tone.

"Please, please, Shravya. Pretty please." He begins requesting.

Before I can look away from him he's already looking at me with those puppy eyes that no one can refuse to.

"Arjun, no means no." I told him.

"Shravya, please. Please with a cherry on top. I promise to be at my best behaviour." He continues to say.

"No." I say in response.

"Kitni zaalim bandi mili hai mujhe. [I've got such a cruel girl as my girlfriend.]" He says.

"Is that what you think? Abhi ke abhi niklo mere ghar se. [Get out of my house this very moment.]" I told him.

"I was just joking, Shravya. You are the sweetest girl one could get. You know that right baby?" He says, his tone suddenly turning extra sweet.

"Makhan lagana toh koi mere bande se seekhe. [One should learn how to flatter someone from my guy.]" I say in response and take a step towards him.

My hands encircle around his neck and I pull his face closer to mine after which I stand on my toes to match his height.

"Third modification accepted too, baby." I whisper against his lips and then peck them.

"Ab toh yahan pawry hogi. [Now a party will happen here.]" He says as his face lights up.

"Arjun aur Shravya ki pawry. [Arjun and Shravya's party.]" I say and soon the two of us burst into laughter.

•

"Arjunnnn." I say in a warning tone as I bring another morsel of food to his mouth.

The order in which he wanted the session to go on was : 1. Me feeding him dinner 2. Me giving him a full body massage and finally 3. Watching a movie while cuddling and then staying over at my place.

Right now we were doing the first thing on the list.

"Yes, babe?" He innocently asks me.

"Stop trying to bite my fingers and eat your food instead." I told him.

He opens his mouth to say something in response and I take it as an opportunity to shove a rather large morsel inside his mouth.

He glares at me in response but has no other option than eating the food in his mouth now.

I suppress a laugh as I prepare another morsel for him.

"I hope you're enjoying getting fed by me?" I ask him, faking innocence.

"Of course, I'm loving it." He says in a sarcastic tone and I laugh.

With a lot of difficulty I am finally done feeding my boyfriend his dinner.

Midway he even insisted that he feed me too so that's what we did and now we were both done with the dinner.

Arjun was damn excited for the next part and he was making no attempt to hide it.

"Should I get out of my clothes? What all do I need to take off, Madam?" He asked me as we both made our way to the kitchen with the empty dishes.

"I know you're very desperate sir, but could you please try and hide it?" I told him in response.

"It's just that my girlfriend is going to give me a massage for the first time and I cannot contain my excitement." He tells me happily.

Why does he have to be so adorable at all times? I think to myself as I take a look at him.

"She'll give you all the details once we're both done doing the dishes." I told him.

"What are we waiting for then?" Let's start doing the dishes." He tells me and literally rushes to the sink.

I chuckle and shake my head at his actions as I follow him inside the kitchen.

When we're done Arjun and I reach my bedroom.

"Okay so, I don't really think you need to take your clothes off because this massage doesn't involve any oils. You take a seat on that chair in front of that mirror." I tell him and wait for his reaction.

"What!? No oil? No clothes off? What kind of a massage will that be?" He immediately says in protest.

"I don't wanna get my sheets messy Mister plus you don't have spare clothes in case you spoil the ones you currently have on." I told him.

Arjun remains silent for a while, then makes a grumpy face but nods.

"Next time I'm going to come prepared and we're going to have an actual massage session Sharvya. I'll give you a massage and show you what an actual massage session is like." He tells me as he stomps his feet and makes his way to the chair.

"Keep dreaming." I tell him with a laugh as I walk over to him.

He doesn't say anything in response which is surprising.

I walk over to him and stand behind him.

"Close your eyes and relax Arjun, just relax." I whisper in his ear and he rests his head on the headrest of the chair and closes his eyes.

"Good." I tell him and start massaging his scalp.

I watch his expressions in the mirror. The frown on his face slowly eases and a smile starts forming on his face.

After massaging his head for a good ten minutes I move onto his shoulders.

At first he tenses under my touch but the next second he relaxes and gives in.

I press his shoulders, applying just the required amount of pressure.

The smile on his face tells me he's enjoying it.

When I am done I walk over to the front of his chair and take one of his hands in mine.

The very next second he pulls me towards him.

Not expecting that, I fall on his lap and my hands flatten against his chest to keep myself steady.

Arjun's eyes open and he looks straight into my eyes.

He wraps both his arms around me, trapping me in between himself and the dressing table.

"No escape for you now, Shravya." He mumbles in a husky voice before pressing his lips against mine.

The kiss that started gently soon turns into a hungry one.

My hands find his hair and I push his face closer into mine while his hands squeeze my waist.

He bites my lower lip causing me to moan and that gives him an entry inside my mouth.

The two of us continue to kiss each other, our tongues fighting against each other to win God knows which battle.

One of Arjun's hands goes under my knees and he stands up from the chair lifting me up with him.

He turns around and carries me to my bed.

Laying me down gently on the soft mattress of my bed he climbs over me causing the bed to dip several inches.

We pull apart for a few seconds to breathe before kissing each other again.

"Let's skip the movie Shravya." Arjun mumbles as he pulls away again, his eyes dark and his chest heaving up and down, panting for breath.

I don't reply but instead raise my head and capture his lips once again.

A few moments later Arjun presses his lips to my neck and sucks on my sweet spot.

"Arjunnnn, please." I moan out his name and he grunts in response.

A few seconds later my phone starts ringing and the two of us immediately freeze.

Arjun rolls over to the other side while I immediately reach for my phone.

Ma's name flashes across the screen.

I try to steady my breath and pick up the call on the last ring.

"Hello, Ma." I say and she immediately begins speaking.

"Shravu, you're up till now? Go to bed now beta, don't overwork yourself okay? I'm sure you've been sitting by your desk and working on some report, yes?" She asks me.

I was working on your future son in law. I think to myself as my cheeks flush.

"Yes, Ma, I'll sleep in a few minutes and don't worry I won't overwork myself." I told her.

"Good. I hope you've locked the main door properly. Keep the lights of the living room on okay?" She tells me.

"Okay Ma." I told her.

"Okay then, sleep now. Take care, good night." She tells me.

"Good night, Ma." I told her and hung up the call.

My eyes then land on Arjun laying down beside me.

He gives me a charming smile.

"This can't continue, Arjun, let's sleep now, yes?" I ask him.

"Sure, come here." He says and I scoot closer towards him.

Arjun wraps his arm around me and I close my eyes trying to sleep with only one thought in mind.

How far would we have gone had Ma not called?
