I was full of excitement as I got ready for my first real date with the girl I loved, I couldn't believe that this day had finally come and that Khushi had accepted her feelings for me and now we were also going on our first date.

I stood in front of the mirror trying to look good, trying to fix my hair, for a change I also shaved today and earlier today I had got my hair cut short too, I looked pretty different, but good different.

I walked out of my room nervously once I was dressed, Anju who was seated in the hall reading some novel looked at me with her eyes wide open so did Nina who had come to give Anju company while I went for my date, Kabir was busy somewhere so I asked Nina to come and stay home with Anju until I got back, I couldn't afford leaving her alone.

"Wow, now you look less of a nerd, only if you could get rid of those round spectacles." She giggled.

"I thought someone said he would never change himself for Khushi to like him, what's up?" Nina asked.

"I am not trying to look less of a nerd, just trying to look good that's why I shaved and cut my hair and to answer your question Nina, I dint change so she could like me, she fell in love with me and who I was, plus I haven't changed now either, I've just groomed myself a bit, I'm still a nerd though." I explained.

"Okay okay, no more explanations need, all the best for your date." Nina smiled.

"I'll be waiting for all the juicy details." Anju giggled, I rolled my eyes at her as I headed out, wow this was making me nervous.

I got into my car and drove straight to the restaurant where Khushi and I had decided to meet, once I arrived, I parked my car and headed to the restaurant, it had an indoor and outdoor seating, I found Khushi seated outside so I walked towards her, she looked at me with a faint smile as I settled down opposite her.

As she was seated I couldn't get much look at her dress but she was wearing a red dress and her hair was all perfectly straightened and left open, she had put on some light make up too, she looked pretty gorgeous, well she always did.

"Wow, you look different." She smiled at me.

"Good different or bad different?" I asked.

"Good different, I never really liked that beard, got in my way of kissing you." She giggled and then suddenly felt awkward about it.

"It's okay Khushi, we're together now, you can say anything to me. And now that I know how it disturbed you, I'll make sure to shave every now and then so I don't lose on the chance of getting kissed." I laughed.

"Since when did you become so free? I thought you were shy and I was the careless one?"

"Looks like the roles are reversed." I smiled.

"Shall we order food first? I'm really hungry." She pouted.

"Sure, what do you want to eat?" I asked.

"Let me see." She said as she picked up the menu and started looking at it, I also did the same trying to find what to eat, after looking at it forever, I decided to order myself some butter naan and Manchurian as she went for the dry chilly paneer and decided she was going to eat that only.

Once we gave the waiter our order, we sat there looking at each other silently.

"So umm... do you..." I tried to ask a question but I was kind of shy.

"Look who's being shy now. You just said it Arnav, we're together so we shouldn't be shy about anything." She said.

"I just wanted to know if you want to kiss me today." I was literally blushing, but since she told me my beard always disturbed her the two times she had kissed me, I couldn't stop wondering if she wanted to kiss me now that I was clean shaven.

"Sure, after our date is over, I also don't mind in public but I'm sure you might faint, so I'll look for a little privacy for you." She teased.

"Okay." I smiled, and soon the waiter walked with our food so the both of us started eating talking about random things, nothing felt awkward anymore, everything just seemed to be going with the flow and I felt so happy.

Just being here, seating with her and eating food with her made me so happy, I couldn't stop looking at her, how she chew her food, how frowned when the paneer wouldn't get stuck in her fork or how she would keep blowing off her hair, it was beautiful and what was more beautiful was that she loved me and I loved her, I mean what could be perfect than that right?

I concentrated on my food trying not to look crazy just staring at her, so I ate my food while just looking at the plate, after I was done, I looked up and found her staring right behind me.

Well obviously it wasn't bad to look around or anything, just that the shocked expressions on her face while she looked behind me made me wonder what she had seen, so I turned around to look towards the direction she was looking at but there was nothing I could see.

There were no people even or I'd think she was looking at someone.

I placed my hand on hers and she flinched as she looked at me in shock.

"What happened Khushi? What are you looking at?" I asked as I looked behind me once again to confirm, yup the place was empty, so what was she really looking at?

"Umm... nothing." She shrugged as she looked at her plate and started eating again.

"Are you sure? If there's something disturbing you then you can tell me."

"I said I am fine Arnav." She looked at me angrily.

I don't know what she really saw, but whatever it was, it gave her mood a three sixty turn, just now she was being sweet and romantic and now she was suddenly angry on me.

"Okay." I sighed as I looked at the table, I was confused.

I sat there silently for a while without saying anything, I just let her finish her food so we could leave. Once she was done eating, the waiter came to clear our table and I asked him for the bill.

"I am sorry Arnav, I wasn't being rude to you. At times I just get angry for no reason, I'm really sorry." She looked at me very sweetly and apologized.

"Remember what I told you Khushi? People in love help each other, if you can't tell me what's bothering you, how am I supposed to help you? I just want you to be okay and happy, that's it." I said.

"I know Arnav, I am sorry for getting angry but really it was nothing."

"Okay, if you say so, I trust you." I smiled, the waiter walked back with our bill so I paid him and then Khushi and I stood up to leave.

"Where did your park your car?" She asked.

"Just outside there." I said as I pointed towards the area where I had parked my car.

"Mine is in the basement, would you mind escorting me?" She smirked.

"Sure." I nodded as I started walking with her towards the basement, she held my hand while we walked, I looked at her and she smiled.

Once we were in the basement, she spotted her car as we walked towards it, we stopped next to it, she leaned against it and continued looking at me without letting my hand go.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow at university?" I asked.

She nodded negatively and pouted like a baby, it was cute, I had never seen this side of Khushi, all I had ever seen was the mean popular girl, never the side that acted like a child and was so romantic too.

"Okay so are we going to stay here forever then?" I asked.

"No idiot, I'm waiting for you to kiss me." She said.

"Oh..." I said going completely red. Of course I wanted to kiss her, she had kissed me once and I had also kissed her once, but that and this was different, now we were in a relationship and look at me I was shy to kiss my girlfriend.

I was kind of nervous, I just dint know how to initiate it suddenly, I kept on thinking of way to do it in my mind but nothing seemed good enough.

She suddenly walked closer to me, grabbed my shirt into her fist and smashed her lips against mine, that kiss definitely took me by surprise but surprises were always beautiful and right now her lips on mine felt beautiful too.

God, this girl was driving me crazy, I was falling more and more in love with her. She pulled apart after a while as we both panted for breaths, this had to be the most beautiful kiss ever, it was nothing compare to the first tow maybe because this time it happened because we both were deeply and madly in love with each other, it had to be special.

"Wow." I smiled.

"I know, I'm a good kisser, but so are you." She smirked.

"You make me speechless."

"I know that too, and by the way, it was great without the beard." She winked at me as she walked back towards her car.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow at the university?" She asked.

"Of course you will." I smiled. She got inside her car, switched it on and drove off as I walked back to the other parking lot where I had parked my car.

There was nothing special we did on this date really, it was just a simple normal date but it meant more than anything to me, it gave me what I had always been yearning for, it gave me Khushi, the girl I have loved since forever loved me too. What more could I really ask for?

Okay so the next chapter is going to be in Khushi's POV.. Some twist coming up lol.
