Mrunali Rathore

Eight hours later we arrived in Rome,  Italy. At airport one car was already sent for us. Sitting inside, after thanking the chauffeur, we leave for the hotel we will be staying at.

The whole ride I looked at the busy streets of Rome from the window. People are walking, shopping and having fun. The place is very beautiful that I'm already in love. I can stay here forever.

We then arrived in front of a big ancient looking hotel. Though it was old it was looking nice. We get off the car and entered inside where we were greeted by the manager of the hotel and some other staff members.

"Buonasera signore e signora. Benvenuti nel nostro hotel. Secondo le vostre istruzioni, la camera migliore è pronta per voi e signora." The hotel manager said in Italian and I didn't understand a word. But he understands because he replied in Italian as well.

(Good evening sir and madam. Welcome to our hotel. As per your instructions the best room is ready for you and madam.)

"Grazie per il vostro servizio." He said and I smiled. The hotel manager smiled at us and then the two staff members took our bags and show us our room which was on the top floor. We arrived there from elevator.

(Thank you for your service.)

My mouth fell open at the sight of the beautiful room. It is so amazing! The interior is very beautiful and the most amazing thing is the bed is directly in front of the balcony which I liked a lot.

I then excitedly went to check the bathroom and I can hear him chuckling behind me but I was too excited to bother with it. The bathroom was also ancient style and was looking good. There was a small window as well, giving the beautiful view of the Rome.

I then went to see him sitting on the couch in the room going through his phone. "This room is amazing! I loved it. Actually I loved the whole place." I said happily and he looked at me. "I chose the place so of course." He said and I raise my eyebrows. Cocky much?

Shrugging off his comment I went to the balcony and sliding the curtains, opened the door. I looked at the streets filled with people and smiled. "Do you want to attend the business dinner with me tonight?" I heard his voice and turn to see him.

"Sure. I mean I don't want to get bored here." I hurriedly said when my 'sure' came out so quickly. "Ok then get some rest first." He said and walked inside the bathroom and I sit on the bed.

I wasn't tired so I started chatting with my three best friends. I told them about how the place is so beautiful and they replied with 'they are jealous' and pout emojis which made me laugh.

At Night

The night came soon. Abhiraaj was already ready and was waiting outside for me. And after freshening up and wearing my dress I'm now doing my makeup. The makeup was done quickly as I don't do much and I went out.

Outside, he who was wearing his shoes stopped and looked at me from top to bottom and then reverse which made me a little concious. Am I looking bad or is this outfit not appropriate for the dinner? I'm wearing a white halter neck top with skin color wide leg pants.

"Is this not good? Shall I change?" I asked when he didn't said anything. "No. This is perfect. You're looking good." He said making me blush. I then went past him take out my heels and wore them. After we both were ready we went out.

At the lobby we waited for the elevator to come as both the elevators were not here. Suddenly one of the elevator arrived and when the door opened, it made me blush so hard. Why? Because inside a couple were kissing each other. Well more like making out.

I looked away blushing and from the corner of my eyes I can see him looking away as well. The couple in the elevator noticed us and stop eating each other's faces. Then giving us a smile they both leave and we entered.

Though the couple were far we can still hear the moaning and kissing noises making my face turn more red. "Why is your face so red? You must be used to it." I heard his voice and turn to him. "Used to it?" I asked.

"Yeah. You read those novels so you must watch that type of movies as well right?" He said and I took a deep breath. He is not going to let that go is he? "I do not." I said but he pretended he didn't hear and check his watch which made me annoyed.

"I really don't! Though I read...read those books doesn't mean I watch it as well!" I said and he smirked. The nerves! I huffed and cross my arms over my chest when I was suddenly pinned on the elevator door by him and heard his voice near my ears.

"I don't mind you watching all those wifey. You can watch it. Infact I can even show you how it is done." He said and my whole face along with my ears and neck turned red. I look at him who smirked. I push him away and turn my back towards him. Still blushing hard.

"Relax. I was just joking." I again heard his voice as he wrapped his arm around my waist. I glared at him but he just ignored it and went out when the elevator door open, with me by his side.

We then entered the car waiting for us and went towards the restaurant. The whole ride I was silent and look outside the window. The scene happened earlier still on my mind. On the other hand he was also looking outside the window as well but with a smirk which I very well know what for.

Soon we arrived in front of a beautiful restaurant. We both get off the car and went inside. The owner greeted him and he greeted back then we were shown to our table where two three couples were already there.

"Mr. Rathore! Sei qui e hai portato anche una bellissima compagna." One of the man said in Italian. "Mr. Bianchi. Incontra la mia splendida moglie" He said in Italian and all their eyes lit up as they looked at me.

(You're here and you brought a beautiful companion as well.)
(Mr. Bianchi. Meet my gorgeous wife.)

"Uh...what did you say to them? Why are they looking at me like that?" I asked. "I just told them that you're my wife." He replied and I nodded. "Beh, devo dire che tua moglie è davvero molto bella Mr. Rathore." One of the woman said and the other two women nodded.

(Well I must say your wife is indeed very gorgeous Mr. Rathore.)

"What did she say?" I asked. "She said you're not pretty." He said making me gasp and he chuckled. "Just kidding. She said you're very gorgeous." He said and I grinned. "Cosa è successo Mr. Rathore? Qualche problema?" The man who is Mr. Bianchi asked.

(What happened Mr. Rathore? Any problem?)

"Nothing Mr. Bianchi just my wife doesn't know Italian." He replied in English. "Oh that's no problem dear. We can speak English. Come have a seat." One of the woman said and smiling we sat down with them.

He then introduced me to the three couples. Mr. and Mrs. Bianchi. Mr. and Mrs. Russo. And last Mr. and Mrs. Marino. The men busied themselves in their "business" talks while we ladies talk about nothing in particular.

"Well tomorrow they will be having a meeting so you will be alone so why don't you join us for the shopping and lunch?" Mrs. Russo asked. "Uh sure. I would love to." I said and they grinned. "Great. Give us your number so we can contact you." Mrs. Marino said and we exchange numbers.

After sometime we all were done with dinner and the men were done with their business talks as well so we all part ways after bidding bye to each other. We entered our car and drove towards our hotel.

"Mrs. Russo, Mrs. Bianchi and Mrs. Marino were really nice! I didn't feel like an outsider sitting with them and this was my first time meeting them can you believe it? And they even invited me to hang out with them tomorrow. " I excitedly told him and he just nodded.

"What about you? I mean your work. Is it done?" I asked. "Almost. Tomorrow after the meeting it'll be all done." He replied. "Well then congratulations!" I said. "Thank you." He said and after that the ride was silent.

After arriving at the hotel I quickly changed into my sleepwear and laid on the bed. My tiredness was kicking in. I saw him coming out of the bathroom just in his sweatpants and check him out. He has eight pack abs and his muscles are something to die for.

"Done staring?" I heard his voice and blushing, hide my face inside the blanket. "I wasn't!" I said. "Are you sure? I just saw you drooling over my body." He said but this time I didn't replied and pretend to sleep because I know if I say something he will tease me again.

Hearing him chuckle, I smile. Soon the sleep took over me because of the jet lag and I was sleep. In between the sleep I feel his hands going around my waist and pulling me to him which made me smile in my half sleep state. I hold his hand on waist and finally sleep.
