Sorry for the late update!

Happy Belated Navratri and Dussehra!

And don't forget to comment plz!!!!! :)

Saira blinked twice to come out of the trance before shifting her gaze towards Nikhil.

"So,umm,what should I do?Change into a another dress?", Saira asked trying to mask her hurt in the voice.

Nikhil without looking worried,looked at his watch and replied,"I don't think so that it will be possible now.Leave."

Taking long strides,he walked fast.

He was angry at Saira.Now he will be embarrassed in a party due to Saira's misunderstanding.

Saira meekly followed him and wasn't surprised when he snapped at her and said,"What are you staring at?Sit!"

She didn't flinch at his rude tone.She just nodded and got inside the car.

She was trying to stop herself from shedding tears so that her makeup wouldn't be ruined.

She noticed it was A Expensive Mercedes car.Her guess was Mercedes-Benz S-Coupe which was approximately estimated worth of above 1 crore.Aarav wanted to buy this car,but after what the situations arose,he put behind his car dreams to make it up to company.

Saira felt sad that Aarav had to cut down his dreams for what he hadn't even committed a mistake.

Right now,he was planning on investigating where all it went wrong.

When she had talked to him,not though revealing her deal with Nikhil,Aarav had a answer.

"We had allowed 400 millions in emergency fund for bankruptcy type of situation.I don't know why it wasn't used. We are not even sure of how much amount had our Dad took loan.Maybe it was more.We will check it out."

She knew her brother well.He was well prepared always for situation.Just this time,it turned out to be sour.

But she thanked god that her brother was in love with Shyla.

Shyla had nothing but been patient with Aarav and her family.She understood everything well.

When she was told about the situation of bankruptcy, Aarav tried to say to her,"Look Shyla,our company is on verge on bankruptcy.I don't know if I am still the correct man for you,I mean I promised you I will fulfill your needs,dreams and..."

Shyla did not let him complete his sentence.She gave a chaste kiss to his lips and said while hugging him,"I fell in love with my Aarav,Not Aarav Kapoor.You will always remain my man.You promised me,I promised you,we both made promises,right?"

Aarav had nodded as he was still in daze due to kiss.

Shyla smirked at him,knowing her effect and said,"Then what are you staring at?At your future wife.Now,don't stand and be the man I knew you to be.Defend your sister's dream and your family dream and work.I will always stand with you.And anyways,I am stronger than you.Haven't you seen my kick?"

As they had started making out after that,Saira had sneaked out,probably muttering,"Can't they shut their doors?Eww.I think I am going to puke.Oh lord!"

Saira's thoughts were snapped as Nikhil called out,"Hey,we have reached the venue.Are you there?"

Saira replied bluntly,"If I were not here,you wouldn't be asking me,would you?"

Nikhil simply rolled his eyes like always and said,"Today,we have to provide media with some news about our relationship.I was thinking,how about a kiss?"

Saira checked her nails which were perfectly painted red,all thanks to Saira and replied,"Where?"

Nikhil was not in a mood today to beat about the bush,so he bluntly replied,"On lips."

Saira froze.

As Nikhil came out of his seat,he opened her side and helped her out.

Saira was still dazed and said,"What!I am not still ready for extreme level of PDA,Nikhil?Are you listening to me?"

Nikhil was going to walk but seeing no one in parking space,he pinned her to the car.

Saira was uncomfortably trapped between Nikhil and his car.

His breath was falling on her nose which sent tingling sensation in her body.

She had never been so close to a man before.No one.

She was disappointed though that his breath wasn't falling on her neck or on her lips.Damn the novel imaginations!

Still,her heartbeats,if it would have been monitoring right now,it would have shown how irregular it was due to one reason.

Mr Nikhil Malhotra.

Saira was waiting for Nikhil.What was he doing to her?

So Saira simply stated what came to her mind.

In a soft voice,she asked,"Nikhil,Are we having a staring contest?My neck is paining,couldn't you be a bit shorter?"

Nikhil slowly gave her a fake smile and still staring at her,said,"Nope.I am making you practice.And no!I couldn't be shorter.Actually couldn't you be a bit taller?"

Saira felt offended when he said she was short heighted.

She tried to retort back,"Short people are anyway cute people then taller people."

Nikhil now felt offended and replied,"Tall people are Hot.You are struck with being cute."

Saira narrowed her eyes at him and said,"Oh really!I can tell you about so many people who had short height but great brains."

Nikhil retorted back,"Even I can tell about so many people with tall height who did Great deeds."

Saira and Nikhil kept arguing about heights at low voices while still standing at a closer distance.

"What about my height?"said a cute voice.

Their heads snapped at the voice.Their stood a cute small girl who was probably aged ten.

She looked at them with big blue innocent eyes. She wore a pink frock and cute hairband.

Saira smiled at her and said,"You will grow,sweety."

Nikhil bend down to match the kid's height and said,"Yeah kiddo.You still have to grow."

The girl giggled.

That's when her mom came,"Greta,where are you?"

On hearing her name,the kid called out,"Here mommy,daddy!"

And there came two stunning personalities that Saira thought she could ever meet.

The lady was dressed in a emerald coloured lace laden dress which went uptill her knees.Her hair was curled and she wore minimal makeup,but she managed to look classy lady.

She apologised and took the cute child away.

Nikhil got an idea and took out his phone.

As Saira finally shifted her gaze from kid to Nikhil,she saw mischievous evil grin.

Her eyes widened and she spoke,"Why are you giving that....oh my god!You have called the media!Haven't you!"

Nikhil nodded.

Saira was nervous.

She wasn't ready for her second kiss.She knew that she had already agreed about this but right now,she was Confused.

Her first kiss?

It had happened when she was a little kid.

After reading the fairytale that as princess kissed the frog,it turned into a prince,Saira decided to tryout.

Frog was too gross for her!

So,She kissed the fish that was kept in kitchen.

Alas!Her little heart had broke and her fairytales had been in trash and never did she pickup a rom com books and films.

But till date!She neither had kissed again nor had she eaten fish without laughing at that event.

Nikhil had closed the distance between them and they stood touching nose to nose.

His breath was fanning her literally to some world unknown to her.

She was nearly starting to hyperventilate.

"Breathe Saira."Nikhil whispered in a calm voice.

Easy for him to say.Thought Saira.

She still nodded and took a deep breath.

" Maintain eye contact with me."Nikhil said.

Easy for him to say.Again Saira Thought.

She looked at his chocolate brown eyes as he stared at her dark brown eyes.

"Thank God for your long hair."Nikhil said.

Saira was confused.

Anyways,her hormones were literally messing with her and he holding her so close,wasn't helping her much.

Her stomach was literally doing as backflips and this feeling was unknown to her.

He held her face with his hands as his hands caressed her cheeks and slowly her lips.

They heard noises.

Obviously it was press.

Saira took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Finally the moment had come for the second kiss.Even if she wasn't ready.

But what he did surprised her.

Using her long hair,he hid his face.

And he did kiss her,but not on her lips but on sides of her lips.

It was a teasing effect.

But still they knew the angle at which they stood,the cameras would assume they were kissing and all thanks to her hair which hid the real details.

As soon as they heard too loud noises,they pretended they were surprised.

They got out of the place.

As they were walking,Saira asked,"Why did you not actually kiss me?"

Nikhil looked ahead and said,"I could see,you weren't ready for your first kiss.So I decided to do in this way."

Saira had found a little corner in her heart which now had stored respect for Nikhil.

But she spoke,"Second kiss."

Nikhil looked visibly shocked and asked,"second kiss?Who was your first?"

Saira retorted back,"None of your business."

Nikhil hearing this looked visibly annoyed and his mind went back to the guy who had confessed that he liked Saira.

But then,he thought,'Why should I overthink?'

As they entered the party venue,all eyes were on them.

Saira paled and was nervous as she visibly looked out of the crowd.

She simply thought,"Oh lord!I am stuck.Help me!"

Okay,I know it wasn't really a kiss but isn't it better? Don't you think my description skills have improved a bit from my previous story 'Entangled in Marriage?"What do you think?

Seriously,these guys can start quarrelling on any issue.Lol.

Anyways,does anyone hear some bells?No?*gives hint!*

Get ready for some Exes-Xtra Drama.Will Saira manage to combat with the situation?What do you think?Whose ex?

And what will happen when Saira's parents see the news about Saira.Of course,they forgot it.
