"Siya" I heard my name from the back, I tilt my head only to find Veer Singh Oberoi  standing in side of me with his phone in his hand. Looks like he's talking to someone.

Moving my gaze from his hands to his face, I finally meet his black eyes which seems to looking in mines. Suddenly my heart skipped a beat. How foolish is this, ignoring my abnormal heartbeats. I pass a small smile to him and his face turn from calm to amused.

'Seeing me smiling is that horrible?'

God knows! - my subconscious said.

Saying him you forgot to add Malhotra was more horrible don't you think?- my subconscious asked

'Just fuck off' I mock my subconscious 

Settling in front of me and he put his phone back in his blazer. Almost lost in reading his movements, he suddenly looked at me and my confidence was about to die. Having no option as I'm caught off guard by gawking at him , I looked at him with a small smile and with that too in his eyes. His pupils were getting larger as I'm staring at them. To break this awkward moment I ask

"So shall we start Mr.Oberoi?" A smirk form from on my lips as I saw him getting a little nervous.

"Why not Ms.Malhotra" he said 

I don't know why he's getting nervous, it should be me because I'm the one who's gonna offer some stupid contract to him. 

'Cool Siya cool, I know people call him rude and cold but he's not you know na. He's not going to eat you for a stupid contract.' I thought

Then forget the contract, let's offer this someone else.

'Shut up I need to do this, I'm not backing off. I'm not going to give up on 1 billion club' I said to my subconscious 

"Well I know Mr.Oberoi that you don't want to get married so why not we discuss some business" I said while leaning back to my chair and lean my right hand forward to take the wine glass. Taking a sip, I looked at him waiting for his reply

"What kind of business, may I know?" He asked while looking at the menu. My heart feels a sense of relief as he's actually not interested in this date. I smiled and said

"You know— before I can speak further he interrupted me.

"And who said I don't wanna get married?" He asked while putting the menu aside , giving me a glance for sec he turned his face and called the waiter. He gave him his order and the waiter left with a nod. 

In this whole moment I'm just sitting here looking like an absolute idiot. Of course he would say that because he's a flirty. I saw that coming. I should ease his mind, yes so that I can offer him that deal. If he's the flirty one here then let's just play along Siya. You can do it.

"But you should know Mr.Oberoi that it's just a blind date , shouldn't we know each other more properly" I said with an innocent smile which was lingering on my face. 

A smirk form on his lips as he heard me, shaking his head lightly he said while chuckling "Well I think I know you more than sufficient Ms.Malhotra". Know me more than sufficient but how , reading those fake articles on internet. He must be kidding.

"Reading fake articles on internet doesn't provide you good information Mr.Oberoi" I said, stealing a glance of him. Taking another sip of wine.

"Well don't you think calling each other with this Mr and Ms is kinda boring" he said while air quoting Mr and Ms words. A chuckle escaped from my mouth as I saw him. 

"Sure Veer, is Veer okay with you?" I asked him. As soon as he heard me, he nearly choke on his water as he was drinking water. Taking a tissue he wiped his lips. He mumbled something in low voice which I can't hear.

They were wet and slightly red in colour. Oh gosh Siya what are you thinking!

"Everything is okay with me Siya" he said and I smiled.

Okay so this is going well till now. I guess. I should play along, taking each other name doesn't make them friends. But I think in this situation we are friends. That's what I should make him believe. Getting a deal isn't always easy you should know. Thats why I'm smiling this often. I swear if my PA saw me this much smiling he would be fainted right at this moment.

"If everything is fine then I think we should talk about some business, what's say Veer?" I asked him as I don't have much time for this date thing. Looking at him I wait for his reply to which he just nod his head. Getting the answer, I grab my purse from my left side. Opening it I released a deep breath and took out the contract papers. Putting them in front of him, I place my purse to its place again and turn my face towards him.

he took papers in his hand and start reading them. His expressions starts to change. From calm to a little bit of shocked. Well who will not get shocked. I literally turn this blind date into a business meeting. I also don't want to do this but I knew that no one gonna give me what I want rather than this man. 

Sitting in front of me in his black three piece suit. Dark eyes. Sharp jawline. Plump lips. Hairs set. Veiny hands. Muscular body. 6'2 height. And his Luxury smell and his power full aura. But wait why I'm describing him?. Oh god I'm going crazy. First this dashing man and second my abnormal heart. I should consult to my doctor and tell him to fix this fucking problem.

A closing sound of file bought me back to reality. Turning my eyes I looked at him. Placing the file on the table he leaned back and raise his eyebrow, as if he's asking me what is this. So he's in his CEO mode now. Clearing my throat a little , I sit straight ,putting my one leg over another. I intertwined my hands and place them on the table and said

"As you can see Veer your company is in the top 10 in 1 billion club , so I just want to offer a collaboration between your company and mine" 

"Okay I get it but where's my profit?" He asked while pointing at the file. And then reality hit me where's his profit?

"Tell me Veer what do you want in profit" I asked him in a reassuring manner. He chuckled and bend to towards the table. "I only want one thing in profit" he said and gestured me to also lean towards the table.

Maybe he wants something confidential deal. As I leaned I saw him as he is also leaning towards me. His face was just a few inches away from mine, he looked into my eyes then bent toward my right ear. And then what he said next made my heart stop beating for a moment.

"You, I want you in profit Siya" with that he pecks my ear and sat down on his chair while a small smile was lingering on his face.

'Did nobody saw that he just kissed me!' I thought

Yup I saw and right now your cheeks are burning darling - my subconscious said

'Oh just fuck off , he kissed me can't you see!'

He did not, it's just a peck and on that too on ear. How can you count it as a kiss. Stupid - my subconscious mock me.

Shocked me, I also sat straight on my chair back . I start looking  here there as I'm feeling awkward. That's when my phone rang. I saw the caller id and a relief sign escaped from my mouth.

My saviour. My PA!

Holding my phone I turn to look at him. Why he's staring at me with that too directly in my eyes. Giving him a just-a-sec look with a nod, I got up and walk towards the washroom.

Practically running Siya - my subconscious said

'Fine I'm embarrassed where I should be not, I'm not the one who kissed'I said 

While walking I turn my head backwards and sees him smiling. He looks good while smiling. Wait he has - 

Dimples!
