"La! Kaha hain woh tumhara badnaseeb boyfriend?" Khushi chuckled.
"Shut up!" La replied annoyed. "Humesha mere Nick ke peeche padi rehti ho! Poor baby! Traffic main phas gaya hoga!"
"Poor baby? It's not like you didn't annoy the crap out of Rohan when we used to go clubbi..." Khushi realized what was going to say. "Forget it... I swear if Nick isn't here in five, I'm changing back..." Khushi covered up the topic but La didn't fail to realize the hurt in her voice.
Her voice was always like that whenever Rohan was concerned. "Sweetie, I think it's time you get over him."
"Laaa! I'm fine!" Khushi tried to explain. La knew she wasn't though, but talking more about "him" wouldn't help the situation either.
She pulled her towards the mirror. "Daaayum girl! Someone be looking sexy? The guys at the club better be ready for this bomb..." La cheered her up.
"You're looking pretty good yourself." A voice called out from the door.
"Nick!!! Baby!!" La rushed into his arms. Their forheads collided before they met for a small peck. The clumsiness of the two never failed to amuse Khushi. Made for each other! She thought and chuckled.
"Hey Nick!" Khushi called out as she was scanned through her phone.
"Hello mam." He stiffened. It was hysterical how scared Nick was of Khushi, ever since the day he was going ask La out. He remembered her threat...
Flashback:
"And if you DARE break her heart!" Khushi threatened him with her wooded spoon against his chin.
"Yes mam... I mean no mam." Nick replied. He could've pissed in his pants. This woman was scary.
"Just remember, she has friends that will not spare you if you do..."
Nick frantically nodded his head indicating he understood.
"Alright, I give you permission to ask her out." Khushi said as if she was doing him a favor.
End of flashback.
He shuddered at the memory.
"I'm not going to eat you up." Khushi chuckled.
"Kya hai yeh, humesha tumse inta dara dara sa kyun rehta hai?" La asked.
"What?" Nick questioned. His confusion and inability to comprehend hindi for some reason made La 'aww' at him.
"Nothing, I'm asking if she has my straighter or not?" La covered up.
"Oh.. How do you say straightener in hindi?" Nick asked.
"Um.. I think..." La and Nick walked out.
"I'll be right there!" Khushi called out as the two walked out.
While locking the door she remembered Arnav.
Thanks. He had said. The thought of him made her smile.
"Khushi!!!"
"Yeah! Coming!"

"Wait so what exactly are we changing into?" Arnav asked.
"Oh, Payal bought us outfits. Isn't that so sweet of her?"
Arnav glared at him and then saw that Payal was also waiting for an answer.
"Yes. Sweet as a cupcake!" He said through gritted teeth.
"Here's yours and hereee's yours" She handed the two their outfits. "Arnav go change in Pa's room and Akash you can change over there in mine."
After the two closed their doors, she heard Arnav call out...
"Hey um Payal... I think you forgot the pants..."
"There are none!" She said with enthusiasm.
"WHAT?"
"Kyun itna shor macha rahe ho?" Akash walked out wearing his outfit.
"Pata nahi... inhe unke kapre pasand nahi aye..." Payal pouted.
"Aww.. Don't mind... He's a sadu by profession... And I absolutely love the clothes you picked out for me!" Akash reassured.
Akash's Clothes
"Shut up Akash! And Payal, I'm just the kind of man who prefers pants with his clothes so..."
"It's ok... I just thought that by the way you act you might like those kind of clothes..."
Wait was she suggesting...
"Payal! Seriously, I'm not..." but she walked away by then. It was seriously annoying at how she thought he was gay... and that to for Akash. Not that he would go gay for anybody but... whatever. He'll have to make do with what he had.
He took off the jacket of his suit and rolled up the sleeves of his inner shirt. I guess we'll have to make do with this.
He walked out seeing Akash go gaga over Payal.
The dress was good but he just didn't really find her attractive. Oh My Gosh! Was Payal right? Was he really... No! No, no, no, no! He just didn't find her attractive. I mean she's just wasn't his type. He rolled his eyes at his own thoughts. Dumb and Dumber were driving him crazy.
"Let's go."
***
At The Club.
Khushi walked in with the two lovesick birds.
"I love this song!" Khushi exclaimed.
"Cool. We'll be over there if you need us." Nick stated.
"Go enjoy yourself girlie!" La whispered before she left following Nick.
And then Khushi hit it off to the dance floor
Moments later Arnav entered alongside Dumb and Co.
"Ugggh... I hate this song." he groaned as he saw Dumb and Co. make their way to the dance floor.
Tonight was going to be long night.
