Chapter 5
"Did you two not sleep well last night?" Anjali asked Arnav and Khushi who kept yawning at breakfast, making everyone else around them yawn.
"Yeah I had wo-"
"We were ta-"
They both spoke simultaneously and stopped middway figuring they were not on the same page.
Anjali narrowed her eyes at them, smelling something fishy between the two.
For the time being she let it go, they were really sleepy.
"Why dont you two go back to sleep for a while" nani suggested.
"Yeah Khushi go to sleep now, we will go for an afternoon show after you wake up" mami cheerfully added.
Finishing off her breakfast, Khushi dragged herself to her room.
She entered her room and in a flash had her back against the door. Arnav stood in front of with one if his hands holding hers, keeping her still.
"You! What do you want?"
"I wanted to tell -"
"No I dont want to hear anything. You made me look like a fool downstairs. Exactly why were you going to lie?"
"Because I -"
"Oh please be quiet! I dont want to hear any of your lame reasons" she cut him off again.
Arnav pissed at her constant blabber, grabbed her hair and pulled her face close, their lips nearly brushing.
"If you dont shut up this instant then figure what I will do" he threatened as his breath puffed and lips moved in a feather touch over her mouth.
Seeing her eyes wide and body stiff, he stepped back, getting the reaction he wanted.
"So yeah I wasnt lying lying, I was just exaggerating what I was doing, which was work, before I saw you by my pool. And di cannot know what we were doing last night, she wont let go of me without teasing" he explained.
Khushi stared at him open mouthed. Was he kidding? He looked quite serious with his sleepy face.
"You of all people will actually be bothered if someone teases you?" she exclaimed.
"Uhh you dont know how bad di is" he made a face.
"Ookay if you say so. But what do I say if you know she asks me..?" Khushi asked innocently.
"I dont know, make up a reason!" Arnav put his hands in the air.
"Like what?" Khushi bugged him.
"Argh say you were up watching a movie...or reading or whtever girls do" he threw some ideas.
"Hmm okay...and what about the kiss?"
"You were drowing, I gave you a CPR" he said in an obvious tone.
At Khushi's raised eyebrows he realized what she asked and what he said.
"Ah that was uhh on impulse..." he trailed softly looking into her eyes.
Khushi felt the change around them, and before things got awkard she let the topic go and climbed on to her bed, hinting at him their conversation was over and she wanted to go to bed.
Arnav turned around smirking, "you know you have surprisingly transformed into a pretty attractive woman.."
"Excuse me! What do you mean pretty attractive? I am damn attractive!" she snapped jokingly.
"Uhh yeah thats what you think" Arnav said sadly and left the room.
"Loserface...pretty attractive, then is he is pretty good looking! And he said transform!? What the hell did he mean by that!" Khushi yelled out loud as his words dawned upon her.
He called little her ugly!
~~~
Arnav was reading the newspaper when the ladies walked in with ten shopping bags in hand. Apparently they did so much more than just watch a movie.
Duhhh these were women, what do you expect.
"Hi Arnav!" Khushi greeted him a bit too cheerfully.
"Hi" he replied back not looking at her.
"Chotte did you eat? We all already ate out" Anjali spoke to Arnav.
"Yeah di, I did."
"I still have room for some jalebies and milk!" Khushi clapped her hands.
"Does anyone want any?" she asked the group.
The Raizada women asked for their tea while Arnav continued to ignore.
As she went to the kitchen, Arnav watched her walk with a subtle sway of her hips.
She came back with a tray filled with cups, plate of jalebis and a glass of milk.
Sitting on the floor cross legged, Khushi dipped her jalebi in the milk and popped it into her mouth, moaning loudly.
Devil, thought Arnav peeking at her from time to time.
The way she closed her eyes, feeling the taste and licking her lips after, was giving him ridiculous thoughts. Right in front his whole family, in the living room, rated images started forming in his head as her sounds of moaning and chomps got louder.
Yeah he found her likeable but hell no was he ever going to go ahead! Ah eww never! And before he thought or imagined something else, Arnav quickly fled the hall.
"What happened to him?" Khushi asked biting into her jalebi.
"Dont bother, he is always like that" Anjali waved her hand.
~~~
"He yells at me, ignores me, orders me, kisses me...on impulse, he is total loser, ass...a a a laad governor!" Khushi talked to herself on her way to her room.
"What did you just call me?" Arnav growled from the doorway of her room.
Khushi jumped a foot in air at the voice.
"What are you doing in my room?!" she asked him annoyed.
"Waiting for you" he said like they it was a regular thing.
"Why? I am not talking to you tonight" she informed him.
"Yes you are" he grabbed her arm and pulled her into the room, shuting the door behind.
"Oye you cant do this" she warned him folding her arms.
"Yes I can, you are living in my house."
Her mouth dropped open, "you are truly a laad governor!"
"Oh really? You are not better Miss I am innocent" he said in a mocking voice.
"Dont mock me!"
"Shut up. Now before we chill, I want to tell you for future referance, never infront of my family and people say hi to me or talk to me like we are best buddies" he ordered in a firm tone.
"Whaaat?" Khushi couldnt believe her ears.
What kinda of a guy was this dude?
"You heard."
"You are so weird!"
"Not as much as you!"
The night went on as the two bickered their way which eventually turned into something meaningful and they retired at dawn yawning their heads out.
Sorry people for the late update! I really really appreciate you patient wait!! :-)
