"Oh didn't I tell you Arnav had also invited me to your sister's wedding as his date"
Khushi didn't know why but that thought hurt her a lot. More than probably the dance.
Chapter Six
"Arnav invited you to jij's wedding?? Congrats... that means you guys are quite serious. When did this happen?"
"The day he came to our office remember. He was kinda pissed because of the article you wrote about him. That day. He asked me to the dance and also said he needed a date for his cousin's wedding. Would I like to go? I told him I'm already going but would definitely like to go as his date? Why do you think out of all the girls he asked me?"
Khushi managed to pull off a smile "It's simple silly!! Because you are clearly the hottest."

Dear Akshay,

Ugh asking Akshay to be her date possible wasn't the brightest thing she ever did but desperate times called for desperate measures. He was unfortunately the only guy she knew out of school.
Khushi had first met Akshay at a summer camp. At that time she thought he was cool. They exchanged email addresses and talked about science and stuff.
She even went out on a date with him It was then that she had realized that Akshay is full of himself. He can't stop drooling over himself. He kept on talking about how cool he was, how girls couldn't get enough of him, how many gfs he had in the past. He kept on checking himself in the mirror. It was when NK had seen them together and assumed him to be her boyfriend.
That was like one year ago.
She came back home and never contacted him again. She was shocked that he agreed to come to her dance. She thought and the sane part of her hoped he'd say no. Damn!!!
...
Finally the night of the dance arrived...
Khushi was wearing the off shoulder long red dress that she and La brought from the store. https://bit.ly/M0GI7c [ courtesy "arnvkushi" thanks dear]
She had curled her hair. She herself couldn't recognize herself in the mirror. The dress and makeup was so "unkhushish".
The was feeling really uncomfortable wearing an off shoulder dress but La had insisted so much that she couldn't refuse.
Akshay came right on time. He was wearing this https://bit.ly/M04ufv . To top it up he was wearing a earing in one ear and also sported a tattoo on his wrist. Hey, he was handsome. That was partly the reason why she agreed to go out with him in the first place. It was just that he was a complete arse.
He let out a wolfish whistle. "Girl you look HAWT. If you had dressed like this the first time I think we'd have made it to the backseat of my Porsche"
"Excuse me!!" Before she could say anything else Garima came to the front door.
"Oh so you are Khushi's friend"
"Namaste Aunty"
Akshay sure knew how to behave infront of parent.
Garima went to bring her camera. It was the first time Khushi was going out on a dance. Payal had attended every dance but Khushi never. It was a moment to celebrate.
As soon as Garima left Akshay pulled her into himself and pecked her cheek.
"Everyone is gonna be so jealous of us"
She wasn't required to reply as Garima arrived with a camera. She thanked Devi Maiya that Garima hadn't arrived a moment earlier.
They left soon afterwards.
...
When they arrived to the party everyone was already on the dance floor. He spotted NK with Angelina and Yash with another of her classmates. Akshay had his hand around her waist and before she could protest she spotted Arnav and La on the dance floor.
La had her back towards her and Arnav was intently looking at her. Before she could even react Akshay had pulled her to the dance floor. He pulled her flush towards him and started slowly dancing with the music. Khushi was not at all comfortable at this close proximity with him but she could feel the intense stare of someone at her. She smiled and looked at Akshay. He just beamed at her..
Akshay took Khushi's hand and put it on his shoulders. "Lets show them how it's done babes" saying this he swirled her.
Soon she found her and Akshay next to La and Arnav. La noticed her "hey girl you look smoking hot. Aren't you gonna introduce me to your date"
The necessary introductions were made and Akshay left to bring them some punch. "Girl, where did you hide him all this time. He is smoking hot. I'm so jealous"
Khushi looked at Arnav to see how he reacted but his face was in an indifferent mask.
Soon half the class was gathered around them. The guys from the football team was checking him because Khushi was now like their sister and they felt a little overprotective about Khushi. The girls were doing Oohs and Aahs over him. Akshay being akshay started bragging about himself while the girls listened fascinated. Khushi feeling a little suffocated moved away from there.
While she was thinking about Arnav's hand on La's waist while they were dancing the man of her thoughts came and stood before her. "Hey"
Khushi startled a little but didn't show it. "Hi"
"Seems like your not enjoying all the attention your loverboy is getting"
"no it's nothing like that"
"khushi will you..."
before he could finish the sentence Akshay pulled her for a dance. But suddenly came out of nowhere and said "this dance belongs to me girl"
Khushi mentally sighed in relief .She didn't think she could take another fifteen minutes of torture with Akshay.
Akshay just shrugged and asked La for a dance. Arnav and yash's date started dancing beside them.
Even without seeing Khushi could feel Arnav's eyes on her. Yash once looked at her and one at Arnav. He chuckled.
"What's so funny and don't say he is and you are"
"okay I won't. Where did you find this piece of work. I gather you don't like him very much. Planning on making someone jealous?"
"I don't know what you are talking about" Khushi said clearly baffled.
Yash chuckled once again. He held her hand and took her to where his date and Arnav was dancing.
Saying "Can I cut in" he took his date's hand nd led her away , chuckling all the way.
So now Arnav and Khushi was standing awkwardly on a dance floor.
He held out his hand and she took it. Slowly he pulled her towards him.
He grabbed her waist ever so slightly making an electric wave go through her spine.He started moving themselves gracefully along with the music.His one hand left her waist and was now resting on her back while he looked at her intently.
"You look exquisite"
"So do you"
Arnav smiled a full smile at her making her knees go completely weak. If it wasn't for his support she was sure she would have fallen down.
He suddenly pulled her flush towards him. Now their whole bodies were touching each other. She gasped. One of his big hand was now curled around her rib cage, just under her breast while his mouth was now so close that she could feel his breath. His eyes were piercing into hers.
She involuntarily parted her lips and brought her face closer to his. Just as they were going to kiss the music ended and thus broke the trance. Khushi broke the dance, pushed him and left from there.
She left from there and went to the hallway outside because she was feeling suffocated here. Did she almost just kiss her best friend's date? Her arch-nemesis? Thats so wrong in so many levels...
Just then Akshay showed up there "I know why you are depressed"
"Why"
"because the dance is almost over and I haven't tried kissing you yet"
"thats not the reason"
"don't deny. I could see it in your eyes"
saying this he pulled he to him and tried to kiss her. She tried shoving him away but he had his arms around her.
She did manage to shove him away though but not before one of the class gossip queens saw it.
...
"Hey guess whom I saw making out in the hallway?"
"Whom ???" La squealed. She loved gossips.
"Khushi with that cool dude"
And thats what Arnav heard.
