"Wait! Akash said wait!" Khushi muttered to herself exasperatedly, "I've been waiting for the past three hours!"

She pulled out her phone again, 10:15.

"What does Akash's friend think of himself? Yea yea, Akash said he was some big shot, but still."

Khushi felt like screaming when something occured to her, "Akash told me to come here, I did. He said to spend some time with his friend, but he never showed up. Not my fault, right? I'll just tell Akash his friend bailed on me and that I won't get stood up again like this and that he'll have to help me find a job!"

Khushi took a deep breath, satisfied with herself she grabbed her phone and purse and headed towards the main doors.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sir, may I take your bag?" the bell boy asked Arnav, who handed it over, made his way throw the main doors.

"Akash said 7, it's almost 10:30. The girl, Khushi, probably left a while ago." Arnav muttered, checking his watch.

"Mr. Raizada?"

Arnav looked up to see a short, slighty chubby man standing in front of him, he looked the manager.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Sharma, the manager of this hotel. Your presidential suite is ready." He said with a polite smile, handing over the key.

Manager, how did I know, thought Arnav as the manager walked away. He looked around, I might as well go see if she's here or not.

"Excuse me?" He called one of the bell boy. "Where's your lounge?"

Arnav walked off in the direction he was pointed to. As he reached the entrance of the lounge a girl, clad in red button down shirt, skinny jeans, and heels, walked out checking her phone.

Without a second thought he called out to her, "Khushi?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Khushi jerked her head up, coming to a stop.

She was met with an extremely handsome face, but wait, how did he know her name?

"Yea? And you are?"

"Arnav, Arnav Singh Riazada."

Khushi was a little taken aback, who was Arnav? Then something in her head clicked.

"Akash's friend?" She questioned.

"Yea. Hi." He replied, giving her his hand for a handshake, to which she stared at for second before taking it.

"Hey."

"Um, let's sit?" He gestured back towards the lounge for her to go first, following behind her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As they got seated he called over a waiter, e couldn't help but stare at her face she had really expressive expressions.

"Yes, sir?" The waiter brought Arnav over of his thoughts.

"One black coffee." He ordered before turning to Khushi. "Would you like anything?"

"Huh? Oh, no thanks."

"You sure?" He asked once more to be polite, only to have her nod in response.

He turned back to look at her after the waiter left and saw that she looked really disappointed, as if someone had ruined all her plans.

"So, how do you know Akash?"

Wait, what? Since when do I make small talk and that too with some strange girl.

"Um, we met at a fashion show in Lucknow. And that's how we got to know each other."

He just nodded in response, not knowing what to say next. This, this is exactly why Arnav Singh Raizada doesn't make small talk.

Suddenly her voice interrupted his thoughts, "How do you know Akash?"

He stared at her for a second before answering, "Akash is my childhood friend. We we're together till then 7th standard. Then he kept failing every year and didn't get any further than that."

Khushi let out a soft laugh at that. Arnav glad he brought her smile back, she look pretty when she smile.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm, he's not that bad, thought Khushi. At least he's not like creep Shyam. She began to relax a little, bringing her never faltering smile back.

"Sir, your coffee." She watched as the waiter set the coffee down on the table in front of them before Arnav took a sip, looking at her over the rim.

"So you're from Lucknow?" He asked as he put the cup down.

"Mhmm." Khushi was scrutinizing his every move, he didn't touch or look at her like that creep Shyam had.

"What brought you to Mumbai?" His question caused her smile to fall.

"Well I came here in hopes of becoming a model. But the portfolio shoot that Akash had set up for me got canceled. I also had an interview with Mr. Bal, but without a portfolio Mr. Bal won't consider me to be in his next show, but he's not here for the next few days either."

"Bal? You mean Mohit Bal? His in Switzerland right now. He'll be back in the next three or four days."

Khushi's head jerked up at his words. "What? How do you know? Do you know Mr. Bal? As in the famous designer?"

"Yes, he's a friend of mine." She saw him shrug his shoulders.

"Ohh..." Khushi looked for something else to say. "Um, why do you come to India?"

"Um, I come here for business about 4 to 5 times a year."

"Ohh...umm...Akash was telling me that you also sponsor up coming models and actresses." Khushi asked excitedly, only to have Arnav chuckle in response.

She gave him a confused expression and he explained, "I bet Akash was also the one that got you the interview with Mohit Bal, right?"

"Yea! But how did you know?" Khushi was really confused now.

"You can't trust a thing Akash says." Arnav's words made her face fall completely.

She sat back with a pout on her face, noticing Arnav looking at her as he drank his coffee.

"Khushi?"

"Yes?"

"Your a pretty girl, why do you need to do these kind's of things?" He gestured with his hands to show what he meant. How dare he, I do not do these kinds of things! Thought Khushi. Well then, I can be smart to Mr. Raizada.

"You also come to India to do business, right? Then...why do you do these things?" Khushi retorted, raising her eyebrows.

Arnav looked away for a second before looking back at her. "Akash forced me."

Khushi was slightly take aback again, but she recovered herself and replied, "Akash told me to come, too. He said if you don't feel like it then don't stay."

"Hmm, so Khushi, what do you feel like doing?" She looked away when he asked her this question, raising his eyebrows just like her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arnav watched her with an amused expression, she definitely wasn't one of those girl, but messing with her was too much fun.

He watched as her turned back and looked him in the eyes and said, "I haven't decided anything yet."

Arnav smirked at the arrogance and pride he heard in her voice.

"Okay, here's the deal. We've already met each other, right? And it's just for a night right?" He looked up to see her look away, "I say we should continue, what do you say?"

the story is good.. i liked both the chapters.. sorry read it late..

akash is such an ass.. but i was not expecting arnav to cheat his gf even if he likes her or not. But i thought he wouldn't go for one night stand while being in a relationship..

"You also come to India to do business, right? Then...why do you do these things?" Khushi retorted, raising her eyebrows.

khushi is very adorable.. her retort back was very amusing.

A mutual friend Akaash, lies to both and all 😆 yet they still trust him, seems to be getting interesting! )
