Love Can Happen Twice

Chapter-5

Anayra banged her head on the pillows dramatically and rolled on her bed thinking about him. On their first meeting, the opinion she had upon him was, he's an arrogant prick and today she has added a new addition to it. And that was, he's a stubborn jerk.

What part of 'I don't want to go with you' he doesn't understand? She thought while typing the reply to his text.

No. I'm not going anywhere with you especially. Is that hard to understand?

Come on, I've some nice places to go and it will be fun.

Why is he so stubborn? She thought to herself and sighed as she kept her phone in silent mode. This way he can't reach her or so she thought.

Shreyas on the other chuckled looking at his mobile phone. It's been a while since he has gone out or had some real fun. He's always been busy with work every freaking day. But today when he genuinely wanted to go out with someone, that someone isn't showing him even the slightest interest. And this made him even more stubborn to go. Because once Shreyas Singh Oberoi decides something, it happens at any cost.

And so it's fixed that they're going out tonight, whether she wants to or not. When pestering her doesn't seem to work, he went the easy way and informed her mother Aaliyah about the going out thing and she instantly agreed. She gave him the word that by the time he came Anayra will be ready.

He had a victorious smile on his face for the rest of the day.

"Mom? Why are you asking me to wear this? I swear to God mom. If this is you dressing me up to go see that jerk. Then sorry it's not working." Anayra tells her mother with a frown on her face.

"Don't be stupid. Till how long you're gonna be like this. Have some fun and move on." her mother tells making Anayra roll her eyes.

"Why are you all so stubborn? God fine. I'm going. Happy?" she sighed dramatically and took the dress from her mother and made her way to the bathroom. There's no use in arguing with her mother because she's stubborn like that.

Her mother looks at her with a smile.

Anayra looks at the dress, it was a frock that reached below her knees. And it had floral prints in it. She sighed. This is all going too far. She can't believe herself right now. But it's happening. And that's when reality rings a bell into her brain that Anay is no more and now she's excepted to get married once again because according to everyone she's not happy. She'd be lying if she told she's happy. But still. Remarrying is not the solution at all. But who gives a damn to her and her opinions. Everyone has started deciding things for her. Even that stranger Shreyas who she had no idea of till yesterday has started deciding things for her. Who the hell is he by the way? Just another arrogant and stubborn jerk. She swears to God to make him suffer a lot after the marriage and make him regret ever marrying her.

Smirking evilly she gets dressed for their night together.

Time flew by quickly and Shreyas managed to reach the Raichand mansion by quarter to six. He looked at the tight security and then at the watchman who seemed to recognize him because he opens the gate for him. He gives him a slight nod and takes his car inside the mansion and looks at his watch.

His pupils dilated when he saw her coming out with her usual sulky face. But damn she's so beautiful.

"So, when will we come back?" was the first thing she asked as she opened the passenger seat's door.

He smirked, "We haven't even started yet you think about finishing..huh. Too bad."

"Well forgive me for not wanting to go out but what to say, I was forced. Forced," she tells making a face that Shreyas found funny.

"Hop in. We have a long way to go," he tells while she sat in the car and wears her seat belt.

"Where is it and why is it so long? Are you trying to kill me?" she asks making him chuckle.

"Patience Wild Cat, patience." was all he replied before he starts the car once again.

"Shut up Stubborn Jerk." she retorted.

"Whatever you say wild cat."

"Ugh. I hate you so much," she tells making him smirk.

"Hate is a big word. But I don't like you either," he tells making her roll her eyes.

"Well thank God."

"But you will soon start liking me." he winks making her laugh.

"You're kidding, right? I'd never like you. Remember this always. I hate you so much from the bottom of my heart." was all she says.

"We will see," he replied and there was a moment of silence. And it continued.

Halfway past the ride, Anayra was bored,

"So you're going to kill me then?" she asks him.

"Don't be stupid, why'd I do that?" he asked with an eye roll.

"Because you didn't deny it the first time I said it," she states as a matter of fact.

"I value my life thank you very much. I don't have any death wish," he replied making her smirk.

"So you do know that if you mess up me, anything at all, then your life will be doomed." he could see her grinning widely at him.

"I know. That's the perks of being a prime ministers' daughter," he tells making her chuckle.

"He's not the PM yet. But I'm sure that he'll be winning this one," she tells proudly.

"I know." was all he says.

From the corner of her eyes, she saw him smile brightly and wondered why'd he smile out of the blue.

"Why are you smiling all of a sudden?" she asks him curiously.

"Nothing. Just realized that we're having a civilized conversation without killing each other's throats," he tells making her eyes widen in realization.

"Oh yeah. We did, didn't we?" she questioned herself.

"Of course we did, so what do you like to eat. Tell me? Because I need to order the food and we've to reach our destination soon." he asks as he halted the car.

"Anything honestly." he nods at her and quickly goes into what looked like a restaurant.

In no time he was back, he keeps the food in the back seat and starts his car once again.

"So where exactly are we going?" she asks him curiously.

"You'll find out soon enough," he tells with a smirk and increased the speed limit.

He expected her to freak out and throw a fit but she was calm? How the hell? He's currently driving it in 180. Any other girl in her place would have freaked out. But she's Anayra Raichand.

"Are you not scared?" he asks to which she smiled. She freaking smiled for the first time.

"Nope, I love going at high speed. Anay always used to drive me like this," she tells happily and realized what she has blurted out.

His expression changed from amusement to frowning.

"I didn't mean it bring it up. Umm. Leave it." she replied awkwardly and looks out of the window for the rest of the ride.

"We reached." she heard him mumble and that's when she saw out, her jaw dropped looking at the place to which he has brought her.

He took her to a drive-in theatre. Freaking fantastic.

Who thought that the Arrogant and Stubborn jerk, Shreyas Singh Oberoi would be a closet romantic.
