"Hello?"

"Khushi?"

"No, it's Lavanya, who's that?"

"It's Arnav."

"What? Oh, right, one sec, I'll tell Khushi you've called."

"Ok, thank you."

"Give her a minute, she's in the bathroom."

"Ok."

"Hello?"

Arnav smiled. He could tell, it was Khushi. Her voice was laced with confusion.

"Hey, it's Arnav."

"Arnav?"

"You gave me your number before!"

"Oh yeah! Sorry, I wasn't really concentrating!"

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing really."

"Can you come round to my place then?"

"What? You want me to come over?"

"Yes please."

"Er, ok."

Arnav told Khushi how to get to the teachers quarters.

"We're going to have to buy you some sexy outfits!"

"Lavanya!"

"It's true!"

"Whatever, I'll be back in a bit!"

Khushi left and rushed towards the teacher's quarters. She reached Arnav's door and composed herself. Then she knocked on the door.

"Hey! Khushi, come on in!"

Khushi walked in and looked around. It wasn't big; it was very basic, yet stylish.

"Sit down. Would you like something to drink?"

"No thanks, Lavanya and I just had some hot chocolate."

"Oh ok. Well dinners in the oven I'll be done in a bit."

"You really shouldn't have bothered Arnav."

"I wanted to."

"Wait you can cook?"

"Yes I can, I have had to learn because at the moment I'm living alone. I'm not an expert, but I try."

"I'm sure it will be lovely!"

Once dinner was done, Arnav served and watched as Khushi looked at what was on her plate. Khushi was amazed; she'd never seen a man who had been able to prepare food that looked so good. Arnav sat down and both bean to eat.

As time passed Arnav and Khushi simply got closer to each other. They would go out in the weekends, meet at Arnav's place in the evenings and Khushi would stay back after every lesson without him asking her to.

They would talk a lot, hold hands, hug every now and again and there had been a peck on the cheek almost twice every day. But beyond that nothing else had happened. It was now the end of the first term. Everyone who was going home was packing their bags and getting ready. They only had 2 days left and then they would have to leave for the holidays.

"Arnav, I'm going home for the holidays."

"Oh, I was going to say that you should stay. We could have gone places together, spent time together without worrying about anyone walking in on us."

"I would have loved to. But as per tradition, me and La always go home for the first holiday, no matter what."

"Oh do you and Lavanya live close."

"Well, we live in the same house."

"Oh, you're cousins! I never knew that! I thought you were simply best friends!"

"Actually, we're not cousins. I'm her adopted sister. Her parents adopted me after'"

"After what Khushi?"

"After, after my parents were murdered!"

"Oh god, Khushi, I'm so sorry, I never knew!"

Arnav moves in and hugs Khushi tightly.

"I didn't realise you were like me."

"Like you?"

"My parents died in a car crash when I was young."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's ok."

*****

On the day everyone was leaving, Khushi rushed over to Arnav's house and knocked on the door. Arnav opened the door and Khushi flew into the room. He closed the door and before he could turn, Khushi had wrapped her arms around Arnav and was hugging him tightly.

"I'm going to miss you!"

"It's only 2 weeks. And I'll be calling you any way... And seeing as we're both in Delhi anyway, we might get to meet up. I'm going to go home as well, everyone wants me to go."

"But still, 2 whole weeks without seeing you, Arnav I don't think I'll manage."

"I'll video call you!"

"I'd like that."

"Maybe, you can come and see my office one day!"

"Yeah! I'd love that!"

There was an awkward silence after that. Arnav looked into Khushi's eyes. Before either knew what was happening, Arnav had pulled Khushi into his arms once again and Khushi too had pulled Arnav up against herself. Their lips were fused together in a furious kiss. Arnav wrapped his arms around Khushi's waist and her hands slowly travelled to around his neck, pulling him closer. The kiss slowed and then they broke apart, gasping for air.

Arnav pulled Khushi back, closer and pushed them both towards a wall. He looked at her face, she had her eyes shut tightly waiting for what happens next. Arnav draws circles on her neck with his thumb, making her gasp slightly. He pressed his lips against hers and kissed her. The kiss was long and heated. Arnav hands began travelling down her body, then back up to her ribcage. His hands slide to the sides of her breasts and she gasped, breaking the kiss.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"No, its just, I' This is all new to me. I've never let a man so close, I've never let a man touch me like so, or kiss me. It's all so new, I'm so scared, but I love what you do to me!"

"I love you Khushi. I want to make you feel special. I'll never do anything you don't want me to do."

"I love you Arnav."
