Chapter Nine
---Tonight (I'm loving you!)
Arnav's eyes darted towards the elevator every now and then and his heart was racing a marathon as he visualized Khushi, running to him with a cutest of smiles on her face. His hands fisted on his sides as he finally got the glimpse of her, in a beige skirt and a white shirt which was tucked inside her skirt. She looked so professional, yet sexiness was oozing out of her every being.
He drew in a long breath as she walked towards him, a dazzlingly amazing smile on her face, as she did so. It took everything in him to not to grab her and kiss her senseless. Aman and Jyothi were already seated in their cars and were chatting about something animatedly.
Khushi reached right in front of him, and she felt herself growing hotter under his dazed gaze. Gosh!! He looked so sexy in that white shirt and dark denim jeans which was carelessly tucked inside his pants. She remembered every nook and corner of his delectable body and the hardness too against her palms.
He was magical, so his eyes, which cast a spell on her long ago, when she had dared to look into those captivating pools of desire.
"Hi.."
He stretched and she flashed a nervous smile at him, her hands itching to touch his stubble-roughened cheek.
"Hi... I thought you forgot me..."
Khushi whined and Arnav cocked his one eyebrow at her, animatedly. Her hands were already sweaty and then the next moment he had pulled her hard onto his form. She fell hard onto his lean form their chests colliding in a frenzy and both the mouths left a gasp of something like surprise or desire.
"Arnav Singh Raizada can forget his own name, but not Khushi Gupta... and her.."
He trailed off as her fingers came brushing onto his cheeks and then parted his lips slightly.
"I see.."
She mouthed feeling the fullness of his lips against her index finger. Arnav breathed heavily and leaned back onto the car, still holding her firm against his body.
"Arnav, are not you two coming?"
Aman's voice pierced the silence between them and Khushi left his form, reluctantly. A blush tinted her cheeks as she finally rushed inside the car and Arnav joined her on the driver's seat.
Aman's car left from the pavement followed by Arnav's as they drove to the pub "Touch" for some surprise party of Aman and Arnav's colleague. Khushi shifted nervously on her seat while Arnav kept gazing at her shamelessly making his intentions clear to her every now and then as he kept brushing his fingers against her clasped hands on her lap.
"I missed you.."
He whispered leaning onto her ears as he made a quick turn to the left. Khushi heaved dangerously as his hot breath fanned across her cheeks and his lips slightly brushed against the sensitive part of her earlobe, making her shiver at the closeness.
He parked the car onto the sides and got out of the driver's seat reaching for Khushi's side. He opened the door for her like a gentleman and she stepped out of the vehicle, feeling his eyes on her, only her.
They walked in silence and joined Aman and Jyothi inside the pub for the celebrations. Khushi's heart was in her throat as they squished through the crowd and reached their booked private area. Few people were already gathered there and before Aman could utter a word his face was been smashed with a cake.
"Happy Birthday Ammu..."
His friends shouted and started smearing his face with all sorts of cake that were been placed on the tables. Khushi giggled looking at Aman's condition while Jyothi had an incredulous look on her face.
"Its your birthday? And you did not even care to tell me?"
Jyothi pouted and slumped onto one of those couches.
"Jo.. I did not even remember that its my birthday today.. I swear..."
Aman apologized grabbing her hands and closing it with his own eager ones. Jyothi looked up at him through teary eyes and sniffled.
"Jo, he is right. He has this tendency to forget his own birthday... this was a surprise party for him as well as you... ofcourse.."
Arnav added smiling cheekily at them both and earned a glare from Aman, his superior officer.
"Arnav, you are fired.."
Aman said with a mock serious tone and everyone laughed their heart out.
"With pleasure.."
Arnav said taking a bow and Khushi slapped his arms playfully. He instantly looked at her flustered form and grabbed her hands reaching for the table in the middle, where everyone were gathered for the cake cutting.
There was huge chocolate policeman, holding a gun in his hands, it resembled Aman and he had his jaw hanging to the floor.
"This is my birthday cake?"
Aman asked rolling his eyes and everyone nodded their respective heads simultaneously.
"Arnav, you are a dead meat..."
Aman whispered looking around at the colleagues who were gathered at the table.

Jyothi and Aman disappeared somewhere after the cake cutting ceremony. Khushi looked around, nervously her heart in her throat while Arnav's hands came resting on top of hers. She looked into his glazing eyes and then at their hands on the table top. Arnav cleared his throat and yanked his one arm over the table, reaching dangerously close to her face.
"Aaa..Aap.."
She stammered as his both legs, caressed her toes under the table. Khushi could not breath as he kept moving his toes over hers, making her giddy with want. Her toes curled against his and she too surged upwards meeting his gaze.
"Let us go?"
He asked hoarsely his one leg now tracing a path towards her ankle and then to her calves. Khushi bit her lips, preventing the moan and stood up from her chair, abruptly.
Arnav too followed her as she made her way through the crowds, looking at him every now and then. He smirked at her eagerness and before she could move further, she felt herself pinned onto one of those polls in the middle of the disco. His hands swept across her upper arms and brushed against her hardened peaks in a tantalizingly amazing friction.
"Arnavvv..."
She mouthed his name and he felt himself painfully aroused at the moment his name left her mouth.
"Yes, baby.."
He said, his voice sounding desperate with need to his own ears. But he cared less and skimmed his face into the crook of her neck, taking in her intoxicating scent and feeling her fullness with his eager hands.
The crowd was getting bigger as the time passed and Khushi felt herself getting pushed to the corner by few people who were dancing, vigorously to the music. Her hands curled onto his collars and she felt herself pressed to his form as if no air can pass through.
Arnav watched her eyes, darting towards his lips and the his eyes. she was aroused and he knew he just could not let her go, before getting his way with her. its been too long and he had missed her terribly.
"I know you want me,
I made it obvious that I want you too
So put it on me,
Lets remove the space between me and you
Now rock your body,
Damn I like the way that you move.
So give it to me. Oh..ooohh.
Cause I already know what you wanna do
They moved together and Khushi felt her form trembling in his arms, as the music blasted through the speakers, making her weak on her knees. She was aware of a strange sensation in the pit of her stomach as he flung her towards him and dipped his fingers to her waist, drawing her hard against his form.
She felt him, felt his eagerness and desire for her. she no longer could wait and he was being unreasonably slow with his moves.
"Here's the situation
Been to every nation
Nobody has ever made me feel the way that you do
You know my motivation
Given my reputation
Please excuse me I don't mean to be rude
But tonight I'm loving you!
Oh you know,
That tonight I'm loving you!
Khushi came back from her dreamland as she saw a familiar face staring at her from one of the corners of the disco. She scrunched her face and then stopped her weird frantic moves. Arnav looked at her face curiously and then the direction she was been staring.
"Who's that?"
Arnav asked hiding his smirk while Khushi tensed in his arms, looking at Payal Gupta her boss. Her hands sweated uncontrollably and she moved away from his arms, staring at her.
"Umm.. she is a friend.."
Khushi lied walking towards her and Arnav stood the ground, watching her movements. She looked stunning in that office wear and the way her hips swayed in the dim light of the disco just made him want her more.
Damn that Payal!!
"Are not they going to have a confrontation? Its quite late for the pregnancy track"
Devi Maiyya whined while Bhagwan ji typed through his laptop vigorously. The reading glasses rested on his nose while he proof read the storyline one last time.
"I know its above time, but we just cant rush thing, right? Waise bhi fried rice ji was inactive from few days. So you don't just blame me for this delay..."
Bhagwan ji shrugged his shoulders and Devi Maiyya's face fell into an "O".
"Yeah, excuses and excuses.. I am outta here.."
She left stomping her heels and Bhagwan ji stuck his tongue out at her.
Women!!

"Payal, he is watching my every move..why are you making this difficult for me? I had told you, that I am very close to the details.."
Khushi said eyeing Arnav who was busy conversing to someone at the counter. She ran a tensed finger through her hair while Payal crossed her arms over her chest, smiling mischievously at her friend cum assistant.
"So, you don't want to mess things up with him? do you think he will forgive you after finding out everything that you did?"
Khushi squeezed shut her eyes at the thought and she just could not picture him and her breaking up because of this silly spying game of her boss. She would be damned if the truth comes out and Arnav dumps her.
"NO"
She almost shouted at the top of her voice, just imagining the possibilities.
"Take all the time you need. You have got one more week left to submit the evidences that you collected so far..."
Payal smirked and walked away from there leaving a confused Khushi behind.
"Is everything okay baby?"
Arnav's husky voice boomed into her ears, while she fluttered opened her eyes and hugged him tightly at the next moment. Arnav wrapped his arms around her petite form and kissed her hair.
"Arnav, I love you..."
She said finally and looked into his eyes which shown nothing but pure love for her. she knew he would forgive her after finding about everything but she was little worried. She just cant keep away from him and she had realized the bitter truth that she had already fallen hard for him despite her knowledge of him being an asshole.
"I love you too Khushi..."
He whispered pecking her lips briefly as they walked outside the pub, their hands entwined their hearts joined.
