"Act Like A Lady Think Like A Man" - Steve Harvey"Are we dead?" a squeaky voice spoke breaking the silence.
"Ummm I believe not" he moved her hair from the way and whispered in her ear.
Arnav sat on the floor of the elevator his back against the wall with Khushi sprawled on his knees.
"T-thanks for the save" she thanked him awkwardly.
"It wasnt exactly a save...you just happened to crash into me" he said lightly.
They sat few minutes in the most awkward silence. Khushi of course didnt dare open her mouth, instead she mentally slapped herself a million times and then realized who she was sitting on.
Her face turned a dark shade of red as she wriggled her bottom off his lap and fell back right after. She became stiff and asked him a monotone, "What the heck are you doing?"
Arnav rolled his eyes at her question and mocked her, "I should be asking you that"
"Huh? What do you mean?" she asked frowning her face and then her heart started to pick up its beat...oh crap!
"Oh please dont play innocent with me. I have to say this, you did a good job, you not only managed to get my attention at the dinner but also enlightened me about the shampoo you use...dove, isnt it?" he said curtly as he tightened his hold around her waist.
Khushi stared at the grey metal wall across with wide eyes. This time she wished out loud in her head for the elevator to be swallowed by the ground.
"I-I...aa-a-bbb...eee" she started making weird sounds as words couldnt be formed in her current state.
Arnav gazed at her intently from head to toe. Her hair were pushed back with a black head band, he noticed the hair were a shade of red, black and dirty brown. A white T-shirt that had a huge smiley face printed on it and black jeans covered her thin body. If she didnt have an ample of chest he would have called her skin and bones. Her unpolished toes were sticking out from her sandals..."isnt it too cold to be wearing sandals outside?"
"Y-ye...I-I...My feet get hot too quick. I can tolerate the current weather" she first stammered and then spoke with confidence.
Khushi Kumari Gupta was used to being embarrassed. She did not shy away or lose her confidence...in the first two minutes yes but after No!
"Can you please let me go. I am not comfortable"
"Yeah? Funny you entered the elevator very comfortably..."
"I did n-no..Fine!" she wanted to refuse at first but she didnt cause she doesnt run from the truth. With a bit of force she freed herself and moved to sit across so she could face him.
"I get it! You noticed everything. There is no need to rub it in my face" she snapped.
"Tsk tsk snappy huh?" he taunted her making her get even more mad.
She rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest and ignored him.
"Just to have things clear, there cant be anything between us" he said soberly after a while.
"Woah there mister. Who even talked about having anything between us!?" Khushi asked sharply.
"Oh...I thought you...uhh...you gave signals that said you are interested in me" he said cautiously.
"Was. I was! Not anymore. Pssshhh you are not worth me" she said snobbishly.
"You are right I am not. Listen I am sorry I didnt mean to sound like a jackass, but honestly I cant love...I cant give love. I am telling you this because I know you...you are pretty and young, you have time and options."
"Thanks. What are you a brick wall?" she asked raising her eyebrows.
"Yes if you put it that way" he said shrugging his shoulders.
"You do know women have the power to break walls"
"No no. You cant break this wall"
"You think so"
"Dont even think about it. I know women alot more than you think"
"Of course you guessed my tricks. Oh my gosh now you know a woman inside out" she said in a mocking tone.
"I will know your every try so dont even bother"
"Okay"
"I will be keep an eye on you if you come even twenty feet near me" he warned her.
"I get it! Check your phone for signals, its time we try for help now...I surely do not want to die with you!"
No offense ladies but I do not like women who run behind love. Love does not exist. This fair lady in front of me could have given me a hand for friendship but instead she hit on me! Did you guys see the way she kept making her annoying presence where we were eating? How pathetic! Oh not to forget how she jumped into the elevator at the sight of me while passing by. Who does that?! Her entire being yells "desperate"! Women need to be more less obvious. Now I am stuck here for God knows how long!~~~
"Where are you going Khushi?" Payal asked her sister at ten o'clock in the night.
"To sandys. We had a project to do that is due tomorrow so we had divided the work between us two and now she cant do it. Gotta help her! I would have done it tomorros morning but our class is at nine! I'll be back late...I told papa! Dont wait up for me!" she explained at the speed of light as she wrapped a scarf around her neck and gathered her things.
"Why on earth are you going so bundled up when its not even cold" asked Payal.
"I know but I am really cold. I think I might be falling sick. Bye!!" she ran out the room before more questions were shot her way.
I am on a mission. Mission Arnav. I am going to break that damn wall and make him fall in love. Behind a nation they say its a woman's hand. Men dont realize how strong we are. I'll show him who is Right!HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! :-DEdited by justforuse - 12 years ago
