Gravitational Force of Attraction (Arhi ff) Part 1 pg 1

1. First impressions

"Hello, what is such a beautiful lady doing by herself?" said a man clad in levis jeans and a loose shirt as he sat beside her.

"Really?" She snorted while looking up at him in his eyes. "Do you really think your corny line will work with me? By the way, do you always talk like this? Just curious, you seem to be quite not that of a gentleman to speak with such a pose."
"My lady, you should not judge a book by its cover," he gave her one of his charming smile that worked quite well with most of the female except she wasn't like the most.

She couldn't help but laugh, "Oh my god, what are you, a british lord?"

He smiled widely and finally giving in, "Fine, I give up! You caught me but anyways, I'm Arnav."

She took his hand in a firm shake and gave him a friendly smile, "I'm Khushi."

As the night went by, they talked and danced. Khushi wasn't really a party person but she agreed on her roommate's constant request to join her. After entering the club, her roommate, Payal had disappeared somewhere on the dance floor. She was sitting by the bar sipping her favorite drink watching people grinding against each other shamelessly when Arnav had entered the picture.

She was innocent but not naive to not understand what exactly was he aiming for with his flirtatious smile and generous compliments.

No you're not getting any from me, she thought as she decided to call it a night and started looking for her roommate around 2 at night.

"It was nice meeting you, Arnav. I should leave now but first, I need to find my crazy roommate."

As she stood there texting her roommate, he couldn't help but check her out. Not that he hadn't done that the first time he saw her sitting by the bar looking extremely hot in her black lace dress. However, after talking to her and asking her for a dance, he realized that she wasn't his type. She was way too serious and hard to convince. But he had already spent about three hours talking to her about random things without realizing. So, he thought may be his effort won't go to waste but she dropped his expectations when she announced that she needs to leave.

Yes, he was a player but he was a gentleman at heart. Hence, when Khushi finally found her roommate in a drunken state, he asked if he could help her. Being a stubborn girl, he guessed she would deny his help and she did exactly the same.

She started walking towards the train station with Payal's arm wrapped around her shoulder. She was regretting denying Arnav's help as she realized her friend was much heavier than she looked. Tired, she decided to take rest for a while on the bench on the side of the street as train station was still three blocks away. She was just sitting there with a drunk Payal's head on her shoulder when a black lamborghini stopped in front of her and out came Arnav with his dashing smile.

This time, she didn't protest when he offered to drop her home. By the time they reached Khushi's place, she had prepared a mental list of things that made Arnav ineligible for her future boyfriend. The one that stood out the most was he was way too rich compared to her. Owning a lamborghini at the age of 22 pointed to the fact that he belonged to an extremely rich family. It's not that she hated rich people but she just had this theory that if her partner belonged to the same kind of background as hers, he would understand her way of thinking better. Besides, she couldn't even think about relationships at the moment or for the next 4 years until she passed medical school. After all the hard word, she was finally able to get into the school of her choice and she couldn't let anything come in between her and her dream.

Arnav helped her take payal to her room. He was walking towards the door when she asked him if he would like to have something. She thought it would be rude to not ask him anything as he helped her without knowing her very well.

He didn't know if it was the coziness of the room or the fact that her dress had slipped down showing a little bit of her cleavage and her hair had become little messy while helping Payal, but he just wanted to kiss her senseless right there. It made no sense to even his own mind but he had this extreme desire which seemed to generate a really strange yet strong emotions inside him. For some unknown reason, as he kept looking at her, he just couldn't control and in a moment went so close to her that they were just inches apart.

Khushi regretted asking him the minute she noticed his intense gaze. She wondered if he took her politeness as her invitation to spend the night at her place. However, before she could make herself clear he had rushed towards her and placed his firm lips on her soft ones. She was too shocked to say anything but slowly as he kept probing her, she finally gave in. One of her hands was holding the back of his neck and the other caressing his hair. His hands were bolder than hers. He pulled her closer and caressed her bare thighs. She wounded her legs around his hips. He laid her on the big couch and as he moved his lips towards her neck, she realized their position.

"Oh my god, stop."

Confused Arnav looked up at her.

"God, I can't do this. I should have known all you guys are the same. I was just asking if you want anything not to be rude and you probably took it as an invitation to get into my pants!"

Never in his life had anything made him feel this angry as this girl. He was mad would be an understatement. She didn't even know him and she is already judging him. He stood up angrily and fixing his shirt, he replied, "Oh wow, you are so judgmental man! You don't even know me that well! We just met!"

"Exactly, we just met and you kissed me and if I didn't stop you, I don't know what else you would have done!"

"Wow wow wow, dude, you participated equally so don't play victim!" He didn't want to stand in front of this crazy girl even for a moment.

She never felt as mad as she was feeling right now. She was one of those people who hardly ever got mad but this guy for some reason irked her so much that she wouldn't mind punching him on his face. So to control herself and save herself from committing any violence, she did the best thing she could at the moment. Fixing her dress, she stood in front of him. Looking right into his eyes, she yelled, "Get out of my place!"

What followed next was Arnav slamming the door with a hope to never see the stubborn bitch ever again in his life and Khushi praying to never cross path with the spoilt asshole for eternity.

Part 2

He looked at her with amused expression as she tried her best to ignore his presence in the room.

"So Mrs. Jha, how are you today?" Khushi greeted Anjali Jha with a smile and Arnav with a curse in her head who was right now sitting next to Anjali. If she he didn't hate him enough before she hated him even more now. How could he kiss her when he had a pregnant wife and how dare he lie to her saying he was single!

Arnav who was initially annoyed at the fact that his sister's doctor was none other than this bitch felt himself enjoying the angry glares thrown by Khushi. As his sister introduced him as her brother, he saw a spark of guilt in Khushi's eyes.

It had been fours years since she saw him last time but the memory of that night wouldn't leave her alone. She had dated a couple of guys but none of the kisses she shared with them made her as alive as she felt with the one she shared that night with the asshole. It's not like she couldn't stop thinking about him but it was something about him that she just couldn't get him out of her head.

The rest of the meeting went with Khushi asking few questions regarding her health and Anjali answering each with a smile. As Khushi scribbled the next appointment on a appointment card for her, Anjali asked her the most random and awkward question that she has ever heard from any of her patients so far, "Ms. Gupta, are you single by any chance?" Khushi who was confused didn't fail to notice the mischievous twinkle in her eyes and the frown that settled on the gorgeous asshole's face.

He wanted to hit his head somewhere. Ever since his breakup with Sheena 3 years ago, his di was always trying to play cupid. Everytime she met with girls around his age, she would try to imagine them with him. And Khushi being Indian American, a future doctor, and a pretty girl made a perfect match. He had to give Anjali a red light before she went further in her quest.

"Rmm.. I think we should get going Anjali. I am getting late for a meeting."

She was thankful that he changed the direction of Anjali's question or else she wouldn't know how to answer. The constant gaze Anjali would keep throwing between her and Arnav with dreamy eyes, did give her an incentive to what she might be thinking. She handed the appointment card to Anjali and instructed her what she should do to take of herself and the baby growing in her womb.

As they were about to depart, Arnav brought his hand forward to shake. "Thank you, Ms. Gupta" said Arnav with a smile. She didn't know if she was imagining but the way he said Ms. Gupta sounded intentionally husky. While letting go of her hand, his fingers slightly touched hers for longer time than required. She fought the attraction she felt for this man by the only way she knew, anger.

The fire he saw in her eyes satisfied him. He looked at his sister and was annoyed at the fact that she looked at Khushi with a dreamy eyes. And he knew that his sister will make him accompany her to the hospital more often.
