I still have to send pm's for chapter 1 but thanks guys for reading commenting and liking. It would be awesome if you complete all there. Pretty please.
Update
When I got up for the door, the sight ahead of me left me gobsmacked. There Arnav Singh Raizada stood in a black Metropolitan Wool Pinstripe Armani suit with a navy blue tie. His hair was gelled up evenly like always. He could make Chace Crawford or Brad Pitt run for their money, but I rather die then let him know that. It will just boost his ego by miles.
He was leaning against the door with a playful smirk on his face like always when I broke away from the trance he spoke up. 'Take a picture it lasts longer', he informed me. He winked at me. Isn't that a new one. Well a picture doesn't sound too bad right now..Hmm. But damn he saw me checking him out. Am I that obvious?
'Yeah get over yourself', I retorted. I crossed my arms across my chest. Eyeing him from top to bottom pretending to be disgusted. Ignoring me he threw a shopping bag on my face. Well Almost did. Thanks to my fast reflexes which I inherited from my Daddy, I caught it in time. Ha take that!
'What's this', I lifted the bag in mid air using my ring finger and pinkie while using my other hand's index finger to point at the bag. ' Well it's a bag', He said in a 'Duh' tone. 'Now go change and meet me in 15 minutes..Chop Chop', He commanded. Using his hands to clap in command. Why you little...
He started walking back to his car. Opening the driver seat he hoped in and closed it behind him. Leaving me once again gobsmacked or shall I say 'hanging'
I was quite curious to see what was in the bag. A lizard..No! Why would he get me a lizard. Well he is ASR, capable of doing anything.
I made my way towards my bedroom, closing the door behind me with my foot. I then placed the bag in the middle of my bed and hoped down next to it. The bag had a beautiful teal Xscape Gown with a halter neckline and a jewel trim empire waist. My oh my it was absolutely Beautiful. Simple yet very classy. Hmm..Maybe I should go. I quickly checked the time on my watch. Gosh only 12 minutes left. I rapidly fled for the bathroom. Slipping into the dress, then moving on my hair. I took my curlier and started slightly curling from the below the ear to the ends. When I was done with that I started grabbing random cosmetics. Eyeshadow, lipgloss, foundation etc. Quickly applying them. Making sure not to over do it yet not to light make up either. I ran towards the closet in the living room to grab a teal shade of high-heels to go with the dress. Thank God I owned one.
The Devil better not make me walk to much or he will be kicked where the sun doesn't shine if you know what I mean.
I ran back to my room grabbing my clutch and bracelet and dashed for the door. Damn getting ready in 12 minutes isn't easy for a Girl at all!
His car was parked in my driveway, I made my way towards his car. I opened the door to the backseat when Arnav lifted his head away from his Iphone to look up. Eyeing my appearance. I hope I don't look hideous. I touched my face. Oh stop worrying khush.
'Hey I am not your driver, sit up front', He commanded in his utterly husky voice. Ah aren't you a gentleman(note the sarcasm). 'What no!', I exclaimed. 'Khushi, front seat now', He pointed towards the seat next to him. 'Fine', I stomped my feet while I made my way towards the passenger seat in the front. 'I hope you are Happy now Sir', I muttered in a low audible voice. 'Very', he chuckled showing off his cute dimples.
Cute and Arnav! Ew! I need to stop by the doc's.
He started the engine, backing away from the driveway and into the main streets.

'Are we there yet', I asked 5 minutes into the drive there.
*10 minutes*
'Are we there yet'
*15 minutes later*
'Are we there yet', I asked for the third time trying to piss him off. Which I think is working. In three..Two..One..
'Would you for the love of god please shut up for the rest of the ride.', he asked angrily.
Oh no you didn't Mister. I threw daggers in his way. If looks can kill he would probably be dead by now. Wait that's such a good idea. If I was in a cartoon, above my head would be a yellow light bulb how cool is that. Too bad the cartoon wouldn't do justice to my looks. Oh god he is really rubbing off me (Get your heads out of the gutter) That egoistic, conceited of a jerk.
--
'Get out!', He yelled at me. Now what did I do in the name of God. I bet he's bipolar. That explains alot. 'What', I choked. Confusing how quick his moods changes. Sometimes he would try flirting, sometimes he's cocky and sometimes he makes my blood boil. Correction more like all the time.
'I. Said. Get. Out', he said each old very slowly as if I was some child. Great now he wants to kick me out.
'We're here', he pointed to the sight in front of the car. Oops! We were infront of what looked like a mansion. Wait isn't this the Biltmore Estate. I thought of this was just a small family gathering.
Arnav waved his hands in front of my face like a maniac, trying to get my attention. 'Are you going outside or would you prefer staying put right here, Your highness', he teased.
Ignoring him I hoped off my seat. Closing the door behind me, I started to straighten my gown. not looking where I was goinguntil I bumped into a firm, rigid form. I felt myself slipping, ready to feel the cold hard cement collide with my delicate face any second now. When nothing happened I blinked a few times opening one eye at a time. Phew that's a close one. I felt a hand still on my waist. I was going to thank the mysterious stranger when I looked up to meet eyes with the Devil himself.
He's so not my knight in shining Armani. 'If it isn't captain clumsy', He teased still not letting go off my waist. Freak! 'Ugh it's Lieutenant arrogant', I retorted in the same manner.
Finally he decided to let me go, helping me stay steady on my feet, as if I am some toddler. Looping his arm with mines. He guided me towards the entrance.
The estate is absolutely mesmerizing. A hundred seventy-five thousand square feet of absolute beauty. The interior was just as amazing as the exterior. And you would think you see such mansions owned by only pure royalty.
When we entered, almost everyone's gaze was on us. From the little children to the gossiping aunties. One thing I hated was unwanted attention. I never liked being in the spotlight, not that is makes me nervous or make my sides jiggle ok maybe a little. When I looked up at Arnav he didnt look nervous at all more like it just boosted his confidence level. Ofcourse he liked attention and he liked people who threw themselves at him. Do people not see anything past his looks.
Arnav pulled me towards the refreshments which were placed on a long table in the back. Ooh Food! Khushi focus..Focus. But how can one focus when there is food laid out in front of you right. Arnav had to pinch me on my arm to get my attention. Geez thanks Dude.
'Look...', He was cut off by two ladies. One looked like my mum. Wait what is mum doing here. Is she invited too. Last time I checked she is apart of my family not his unless it's "Family & Friends". And since my mum just had to befriend his. Not that his mom is an evil witch or something.
'Mama what are you doing here?', I asked shocked. I glared at Arnav as my mother embraced me in a suffocating, tight hug. I.Cannot.Breathe.Help.Me
'Help', I mouthed to Arnav, in response he just chuckled. Jerk! Letting me go slowly as if I might disappear she finally let me inhale oxygen. Now it was Arnav's mom turn to hug me extra tight like my mother. Now wonder they were friends.
'I am so happy for you both', My mom finally decided to speak up. She was now in tears. What is happening! Did I miss something. My mother turned to hug Arnav while his mom gave me a cocktail glass that was on a tray on the table. It looked like a bluegrass shot. 'Thank you Auntie, but I don't drink.', I informed her politely. She chuckled shaking her head negative. 'Haha I know beta and this is sparkling water', She handed me the glass. 'Come go ahead try it.' When I hesitated she herself brought the glass to my lips titling it down my throat. A burning sensation happened as soon as the clear liquid went down my throat.
That's weird you don't feel dizzy as soon as you drink water. Right!
Arnav finally escaped my mother's grip and rushed to my side. 'Someone seems happy to see me', I tilt my head to his side, furrowing my eyebrows. 'I believe I just experienced what death feels like.', He shuddered his perfectly sculptured shoulders in fear. I chuckled at his expression while I sipped on more of the so called 'Sparkling Water' per Mrs.Raizada saying.
Suddenly everyone started pairing up, as some men were setting up what seemed like a sound system. When they were done the lights turned off and impressively a disco ball came down. Impressive! And the music right after. The music was blasting so loud I bet you can hear it from miles away. I now felt like we were in a club not a mansion.
Arnav took a hold of my wrist pulling me closer to himself. I gasped at the sudden close proximity. I could feel his breathe on my neck. Moving away bit further he pulled me towards where everyone was dancing away. Some were sway their hips from side to side in a romantic way while others were just grinding against each others. Gross!
Before I could tell that was happening I was on the dance floor. I really didn't want to dance right now, especially not when my head was spinning and I was seeing everything in two's. I felt Arnav gripped onto my shoulders making me turn his way. He moved his hands down from my shoulder to my waist. Placing them firmly there. Surprisingly it felt comfortable. In a hypnotized pattern my hands went behind his neck automatically. Swaying away to the music. Getting lost and moving in sync. After sometime we were told to switch partners. Next thing I know I was stuck with someone else. He was a tall, broad guy with a next door boy look. He took his hand in mine and placed his hand on my waist. This time it felt wrong, it felt strange and I didn't like it there one bit. But I can not just push the poor guy away. He hasn't done anything. Where Is Arnav?
---
A few moments passed but he was still not in sight. God where was he? Wait why do I care. Let him be where he wants, see if I care.
I spoke too soon. Arnav was on the top of the stairs, with a spotlight shining down on him. How clich right. What's next him proposing to someone right there and then. Ha! He cued the music to stop. Now all eyes were on him, not that he would mind anyways. Taking a step at a time, how dramatic. He finally reached the bottom of the stairs. The spotlight was still on him.
He stood in front of me, shooing away the guy next to me. I was absolutely confused. 'Khushi remember the day when you asked me why I am how I am. A guy who's cocky, who has an ego the size of Mt.Everest and not to forget arrogant too. It's because I faced alot during my childhood, I struggled and faced situations that no child should, people and most importantly life made me this way. But', he took a pause. Looking all lovingly at me like how a lover would, like how a loyal husband would.
As soon as I made contact his expression started to melt my heart, my hatred for him started to fade away slowly and steadily. What is happening?
'But as soon as you entered my office and being your clumsy self and fell into my lap. I knew then and there, there was something different about you. You are not like other girls, you are much much better than them. You bring out the old Arnav in me which I thought didn't exist before. You make me want to become a better person, a better son, brother, and friend. Khushi I love it when you can blush on almost anything, how you trip everytime when you get nervous, or how you can't bring yourself to hate someone.', He took a hold of my hand in his. 'Khushi you are everything a guy looks in a girl. I know I am not the nicest and sweetest guy out there, but I am willing to take a chance, I am willing to do anything that will bring a smile on your face. And Oh khushi would you do the honor of being my wife. Will You Marry me Ms.Khushi Kumari Gupta.', He then went on his knees. Letting go off my hand to take out what looked like a dark blue ring box, opening it slowly, revealing an exclusive diamond ring by the one and only Neil Lane bridal collection. I believe I haven't seen anything more beautiful than this ring in my entire 24 years. Well excluding Arnav, who by the way was still on his one knee waiting for his response.
I froze, what else should I do, besides admiring the ring. He must be out of his mind right now. First that fake proposal, which by the way was so so so so damn sweet, if he really meant it, which he didn't right. I would have accept it but he didn't because he's well Arnav. A man who will never ever fell in love. I knew something was going on his little head from the start. What do I do and how do I escape such a sticky situation. Everyone was cheering and yelling at me to say Yes. 'I...I...I...Umm..Ahhh..', I started stuttering the right words fail to come out of my mouth. What do I do What do I do. From the corner of my eyes I saw the Devil smirking at me.
