 Once the introductions were done we all sat together to discuss about the deal. Meera and Snehal on one side of the booth while Michael and I sat side by side opposite to them.

"What is the best recipe of yours?" Meera asked, even though she knew, she gave me a sly smile and I blushed a bit at this.

"Banana walnut cake with chocolate ganache." I replied shyly and smiled.

"I would love to try it" Michael said. I signaled a waiter to approach our table. Once he was here I asked him to get banana walnut cake with chocolate ganache for us to which Snehal interrupted me and asked him to get a Mac n cheese for herself.

Once we were done with our order the waiter left giving us a slight nod. I turn to Meera and we start discussing about this upcoming show, and about the dates of the shoot. I was also informed that I'll have to leave for New-York on a week's time so that we could start with our shoot. I was really glad that I finally, got the opportunity to meet the idol and the one I was waiting for since forever, finally. I sigh mentally for looking at the fine specimen in front of me was so surreal.

"So Michael where are you staying until next week?" Snehal asked as she took another bite of her Mac n cheese.

"At a hotel near by" he said with a raised eyebrow.

"I bet it is not as luxurious as our home is." She replies

"True, this gals have one of the best luxury homes in this city, no luxury hotel can ever be compared to it, trust me I have been there." Meera replies with a smile.

"And also I won't like the fact at all that we could serve u better than the hotels do yet we couldn't do so, my conscience just won't let that happen." I say as I turn to look at him trying my best to make him agree to stay with us.

"Yeah you can always stay with us, we also have a gym at our home." Snehal replied eyeing his biceps. I could see her almost drooling. Eyes off gal, he is mine. I thought to myself I didn't wanna say it out loud and make a fool of myself.

We continued to make a casual talk when Snehal's cell phone started to ring she excused herself and left to answer the call.

"I must say this cake is really delicious, I would love to have this cake again sometime-" Michael said "-also how can I refuse your request of hospitality at your place." He completed with a smile.

I was totally dancing around the room, jumping up and down and singing giddily. But all this was happening in my mind, while I was having a calm facade on the show with a gentle smile on my face.

"Oh! Thank you so much. That is just a spiffing news!" I exclaimed

"Oh I am sure you will be enjoying your time here in the company of this girls." Meera said.

"That's great" Michael said.

Just then Snehal joins us. "It was Sufiyan, he is having a party and wants us to join, Michel you should come to." Snehal said.

"When is the party? And where?" I asked.

"Oh he said it will start at 8 at Sugar n Spice." Snehal replied.

"So I guess I'll see you girls there then." Michael said as he got up to leave along with Meera. We hugged and said our goodbyes. Once they left we were back to our work.

I meet Sufiyan at Snehal's college at the cultural festival. I had participated in the cooking competition and Sufiyan was the said students coordinator. We eventually became friends over the period of the festival and still share this bond between us.

Once done with work we head home, change our clothes for the party and head to Sugar n Spice. Once the car is parked and we have entered the club we look around for fimiliar faces. They were all at the booth near the other corner of the club where we could get the privacy we need. Just as we were about to head there my phone rings, I see who it was to find Michael calling. I answer the call right away while mouth at Snehal about the call from Michael and ask her to go ahead I'll join her in a bit.

"Hello there" I say as I just took the step out the door to be able to talk to him.

"Hey Zartaj, I have reached the club, I am in the parking area and since I only know u and Snehal here I thought I better ask your whereabouts." He said.

"Oh it's totally okay, I'll join you in the parking area in just a few minutes and we can go in together." I reply

"Oh okay!" He says and then disconnect the call. I head over to the parking area and find him standing beside a Mercedes.

"Well hello there" I say as I reach him. He looks at me and smiles.

Oh My God! Oh My God! Did u just see his smile, isn't it adorable. And he looks so damn dashing and delicious like this chocolate cake that I love! I so wanna eat him right now. Urggh, stop it will you? I can't be distracted now.

"Hello to you to Miss" he replied as he took my hand and we started moving towards the club. Once in there I take Michael straight to our booth. Everyone looks up to see who joined them. They were all eyeing Michael now.

"Everyone this is Michael and Michael this are my friends-" I say as I turn to point at a guy with chiseled jaw and a dash to beard at the chin with a beautiful smile "this is Sufiyan"

Next I point to the girl next to him with hair straight and open oval shaped face with hazelnut eyes "that's Maria"

Next is this fair guy with hazelnut brown hair and high cheek bones worth pink lips "That's Moosa Next to him is Nadir and that's Eesa oh and u already know Snehal."

Once done with introductions and saying hi's and hello Sufiyan stands and comes up to me holding my hand in his he asks me to dance with him. I nod my head with a smile and we head to the dance floor.

A/N: hello to a my dearest readers.

I am so happy that you people are reading my book.

Don't forget to add it to your fav's and leave a comment about your views.

That's all for now. I'll update with next chapter really soon. ^.^

Once on the dance floor we were dancing while having the eye contact the whole time. In his eyes I saw what you can say as a sense of relief and was that longing? But it was a bit difficult to say so.

"So this is the guy Snehal told me about on the phone call?" He asks

"I guess so!" I say with a sly smile. He smiles back as he twirls me and then back into his arms. In his arms there was this sense of comfort and I always felt secure. It has been so since forever. Now that we turn around my eyes catches the glimpse of Michael by the booth looking at me.

He smiles when he catches me looking at him. Well I do the obvious and smile back. I suddenly feel this as if I am pulled and realize that Sufiyan pulled me towards him to hold onto me a closer as he leans down.

"I know you are here only for a week and then you'll be leaving, I don't think it would make much difference if I ask you to be with me for tonight." He whispers. A shiver runs down my spine at this sudden change in his behavior. He never did anything like this, ever.

"Sure" I reply sounding confident. at least I hope I sounded confident, because on the inside I was like this molten chocolate, all mushy.

I never knew this was possible, especially coming from Sufiyan, this is quite a surprise for me. Event though we were kind of friends with benefits, no one knows this it's our secret, not even Snehal, though I guess she has gotten her hint about it long back but we haven't ever discussed this. Well, the reasons are simple, it's just a fling, nothing serious.

I smile as we continue to dance through the night, and drink. After that I ask Snehal to look after Michael, and to take him home once done with celebration, she is a heavy drinker, and can hold alcohol well compared to the other people in our group. So I knw she will look after him well.

I leave the club with Sufiyan along with me and we head to the hotel room we booked for the night. Actually, Sufiyan booked it for our night.

Once inside and doors closed behind us, we just couldn't keep our hands of each other. We start kissing each other as I put my arms around him into his hair pulling and tugging them. While his hands explore my curves.

We were so entangled that we didn't know where we started and ended. Soon the next thing I knew was my back hitting the soft mattress on the bed.

Soon our clothes were off and as passionate and hot a mess we were, so was our night, spent in pure escatsy.

While we had several rounds of it through out the night, next thing I knew I off and asleep.

Next morning I woke up with arms around me as I look at the person who was with me in my bed. The innocence on his face, so peaceful he looked
