I got the inspiration to write today hence updating. I will try to make it a little less childish and a bit longer
Chapter 3Khushi weirdly looked at Arnav but her eyes suddenly went towards his shirt, which was too tight to her liking, showing off his entire torso.
Mr. I-think-I-look-so-hot-in-tight-shirts makes me wait for such along time and didn't even greet me. She thought.
Actually all his shirts were soaked up in the laundry, courtesy his brother and in a hurry he had worn this shirt which no longer fit him.
"Show off!" she muttered under her breath."Now move aside" she shoved him in the ribs.
"Oww. Are you this violent in your home?" Arnav said ushering her in.
Khushi expected to see a very large mess that was waiting to be cleaned up but instead she stepped into a spotless living room.
"So should we start now? I mean you came here to prepare the slides right. Not to gawk at the living room like its some five star hotel's lobby" his voice held a hint of pride at having cleaned everything up at record time.
"I'm surprised. I thought your house would be in a mess just like your work desk and you, but never mind"
Suddenly her eye caught a little boy sitting on the kitchen counter adjoining the hall, looking like an exact replica of Arnav.
"Hey, who's that?"
Aarav immediately went towards their guest, and guests coming usually meant chocolates or other goodies.
"I'm Aarav, his nephew" he answered very politely.
"Haaaw. He is so cute and is well-mannered too unlike someone who claims to be his uncle." Khushi cooed while handing him a chocolate bar, she always carried( owing to her sweet tooth)
"Huh! Aarav is far from being polite-"
"Would you like some coffee?"Aarav cut him off, and Arnav gave him a bewildered look.
"Awww, you're such a perfect little gentleman, and you didn't even ask me for coffee or tea, Arnav"
"Whatever" he rolled his eyes.

Akash came out of the laundry room, wiping himself with a towel when his eyes fell on his bhai and beside him sat a girl? He squinted his eyes to see clearly and it certainly seemed a female species, a fine one, at that too. His mind dawned at the realization and he giggled like a girl, inwardly.
He plopped down the sofa beside his bhai and smiled a sickening smile at Khushi, which suddenly made her feel self-conscious.
"Khushi this is my cousin brother Akash and Akash this is--"
"No need to tell, I know" Akash gave a knowing smirk.
"You know?" Arnav said raising his eyebrows in surprise.
"Bhai, tum toh chhupe rustam nikle, you pataaoed such a beautiful girl and didn't even tell me. Waise, she is perfect for you. You should now marry and try for an Aarav version.2.0--" he said in a low whisper, although his voice was increasing in intensity now.
Arnav was scalded by the hot coffee and he immediately clamped his hand of his idiotic brother's mouth, muttering curses.
"Mujhe marwaoge kya? She is my colleague, goddammit!" he said in a deadly whisper.
Khushi looked at the two brothers weirdly now. Lagta hai chota bhai bhi kuch kam nahi hai.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Can you show me the washbasin?" Khushi said
"Oh just walk down that corridor into the kitchen, go in the door on the left part of that room then walk down the other corridor then go to the first door to the right. get it? Good!" Akash piped in.
Oh great! Now all I can remember is to go to the kitchen" Khushi muttered to herself.
She was inside a room that she assumed was the kitchen and tried to look for a corridor or a door or whatever. She looked around and walked aimlessly until she found the washbasin. She fiddled with it and suddenly a whole spout of water started, drenching her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What was that sound?" Arnav said straining his ears towards the kitchen
"I dunno" said Akash who was playing Need for speed with Aarav and getting beaten badly.
Arnav went towards the source of the sound and found Khushi cursing under her breath.
Where does she learn to curse like that?
"What is it this time?" He asked cautiously steeping on the wet floor.
Khushi turned around, her eyes blazing fire and spat out---
"Someone thought it would be a brilliant idea to drown anyone who comes near the tap by not telling its spouting water like crazy"
"I have no idea---"
"You did this purposely, isn't it?" she said walking closer and found his eyes unfocused
The water had made her white shirt stick to her like a second skin, showing off what--well she didn't want to show.
'Ooohhh, so she has worn black beneath--' he thought '-- I mean I must look away!! Look away stupid eyes!! Look away!' He was repeatedly diverting his eyes here and there feeling his thoughts go above PG 13 rating. He just wanted to kiss her senselessly then and there but knowing she'd probably slap him senselessly too, he kept his hands to himself.
Suddenly someone snapped in front of him and he was brought out of his X-rated reverie.
"What the hell are you thinking about?"
"Curves"
"WHAT?" Khushi's eyes widened and she first time noticed her state and immediately felt ablaze with embarrasment
"I mean scarves"
"You wear scarves?" she said uncertainly.
"Errm...no.I totally forgot i kept Aarav's scarves out to dry. I will be back with a towel"He ran towards the balcony as far from her as possible. Why do women have to be such toxic to men?So tell me if you like it and do comment.😊
