It had been a great day, Khushi kept on looking for excuses to leave Arjun and Krystle alone, Krystle did seem kind of excited around him, as for Arjun he was acting all normal.

Once they were done shopping, they took some take away food for lunch and decided to head home, gladly this time, Khushi dint have to invite Krystle because Arjun did that himself and Krystle agreed.

As they got inside the car, Khushi felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and she felt so excited about it, but she had to wait until she was home to check the message otherwise Arjun might suspect, she was sure it must be from Mr. Writer because apart from him no one ever texted her, maybe Suman but that too very rarely.

Within no time they arrived home and Khushi rushed out in a hurry saying she needed to use the washroom so Krystle and Arjun had to get all the stuff from the car.

She rushed upstairs to her room and straight inside the washroom making sure she locked the door so no one would walk in and find her talking to a guy on the phone.

She pulled out her phone from the pocket having a huge smile on her face, she dint know why but she just felt all excited and butterflies in her stomach, maybe it was because it was the first time she was talking to a guy.

'Hey, still at the mall?' She smiled at the next knowing what exactly to reply.

'Oh who is missing who now?' She sent it along with a wink emoji giggling all alone, maybe she was going crazy, who would be smiling like this for no reason?

'Don't flatter yourself much, I was just bored.'

'Is that so? The go write a story.' Khushi replied and just then she heard Prem call her.

"Khushi you okay? We're all waiting for you downstairs."

"Yes bro, I'll be there in a minute." She shouted from the washroom, she quickly put her phone in her pocket and headed out, she found Prem seated on her bed looking lost.

"What's up." She said as she sat beside him and looked at him keenly. He seemed kind of sad.

"Nothing, I was just thinking, anyway let's go." He smiled as he stood up and walked outside while Khushi followed him.

Arnav stared at the screen trying to figure out what to reply, the first day when he received a text from her, for him it was just someone appreciating his work and they weren't even going to talk again but then Ronit and Krrish forced him into texting her and now, somehow he was glad that he texted her.

She just sounded so interesting, and he had fun trying to flirt with her, he would always ending up smiling like an idiot whenever he read any text from her, it was strange actually, he never thought he could be this excited to talk to someone online, someone he knew nothing about.

Currently he was seated all alone in the hall just wondering about this girl, how she might look like, how her voice sounded like or what her name could be, it was strange how in just a couple days he felt like he wanted to talk more and more with her and get to know everything about her.

His phone beeped and he got excited thinking it must be a text from the talkative girl but it wasn't, it was a text from Shaina asking how he was doing and all, it reminded him that he just a couple more months here then soon he was going to move to a big city and start college, his life was going to change so much.

'Why dint you reply? Did you find my text rude? I'm sorry I really haven't had an experience of talking to guys so I might have been rude, don't mind it.' A text popped up, he smiled when he saw it.

'No you weren't rude, I just dint know what to say. You sound cute when you apologize though.' Arnav laughed as he pressed the send button.

'I'm cuter in real.' Another text popped up with a wink emoji.

Damn this girl, he had no idea why he was feeling just so happy and excited talking to her, he wondered whether she felt he same or she was just texting her for the sake.

'I wouldn't know until you send me your picture.' Arnav replied.

'Not going to happen.'

"Now I see why you suggested the both of us do the dishes." Krystle said to Khushi who was busy staring at her phone and smiling like an idiot. Krystle was rinsing off the utensils while Khushi stood a bit further from her busy chatting. All her brothers were in the hall as usual talking about business and stuff.

"You have to understand me a bit, I am a girl with three bodyguard brothers who wouldn't let me talk to a guy." Khushi pouted making a cute face.

"I get it, and I can also see what you've been doing the whole day today." Krystle laughed as she rinsed her hands and wiped them with a towel.

"What have I been doing?" she tried to act innocent.

"You brought me for shopping on purpose, half the time you left me along with Arjun so I could get to spend alone time with him. You do stuff bigger than your age."

"Well what can I say, I like playing cupid, I'm sure you liked spending time with my brother?" She smirked wiggling her eyebrows which made Krystle blush.

"I appreciate it, what you did for me. I've never really had the courage to even greet him, let alone spend such good time with him." Krystle smiled.

"I don't do anything for free, in return I need you to keep this a secret, me texting on my phone. If my brothers find out, I'm dead." Khushi said.

"My mouth is shut then." Krystle smiled, Khushi put her phone in the pocket as they both headed outside in the hall.

Rudra was busy showing something to Prem on a laptop while Arjun was seated opposite them. There was an empty space on the three sitter sofa where Rudra and Prem were seated and there was another on the two seated where Arjun was sitting, Khushi smirked at Krystle as she rushed towards Prem and sat down beside him so Krystle would have to sit with Arjun.

"What are you doing?" Khushi asked.

"Nothing much, I was just showing Prem some settings." Rudra said.

"I think I should get going then, I've spent a lot of time here today." Krystle said as she stood up.

"But you don't have a car. Arjun will drop you, won't you bro?" Khushi smiled at Arjun who looked at her in confusion but then nodded while she secretly winked at Krystle.

"I think I need a nap, I'm going to head to my room, the two of you better not disturb me." Khushi warned both Rudra and Prem as she headed back to her room, she locked the door and jumped on her bed pulling her phone out of the pocket excitedly. Wasn't she over excited today?

After the last text she sent, there wasn't a reply yet which took away all the excitement she had, she kept on staring at her phone every few minutes hoping for a text which never came. When she was done waiting, she decided to check the page and read something he must have written.

When she opened the page, she found a new post which was posted like ten minute ago, so that was where he was busy.

It wasn't really new short story or a poem, it was just a small paragraph written by him, it was cute though, she couldn't stop smiling after reading it.

I always believed butterflies were real, just not in the stomach. Since I started talking to her, every time my phone beeps, I feel them all over my body let alone the stomach.

There were a couple of comments under the post which she checked immediately.

Anyone special?

He's a writer, he just writes stuff, stop taking things seriously guys.

Who is the lucky girl?

I'm heartbroken already.

Khushi just smiled at the comments when a message popped up.

'Sorry, got busy. Tell me something.'

'I just came across your recent post, who was it for?' She asked.

'I'd say it was for you but you'd think I'm flirting.'

'Of course, a lot of girls read your page, who knows if it's for all of them together that secretly text you.' she typed back faster, it was as if she was in a marathon or something, her heart was beating rapidly, it was a strange feeling, she never knew she could feel this way just texting a random guy she hadn't even seen.

'What can I say, none of them is as interesting as you.'

'Oh god, you started the flirting again.' Khushi giggled as she sent the message, all the while still having that stupid big smile on her face.

'Whenever I see your text, my inner flirter wakes up, what can I do?'

She blushed at that text as she buried her face inside the pillow hiding it, why was he making her so happy and giddy and now he was making her blush too, it was as if he knew the exact ways to impress her, just make her happy and you were there.
