He stopped his car outside my mansion at the wrong time, my mother just got dropped by a taxi at the same time and I knew something terrible was going to happen.

I opened the door and jumped down as I saw mom walking towards me, I hoped Arnav was going to drive away but that idiot rolled the window down to talk to me.

"Weren't you taught how to say thanks when someone helps you?" He asked, I swear I was going to kill him.

"Khushi, where is your car and who's this guy?" Mom asked stopping beside me as she looked at Arnav with a huge smile, yup she definitely liked him, only if she knew there was nothing about him to really like.

"It broke down so he dropped me, he studies in my college, now let's go inside." I got hold of her hand and tried to drag her away but only if it was possible.

"You should invite him inside, he helped you, you can thank him with a cup of coffee." My mom suggested, I wanted to scream a big no, I hoped Arnav was going to refuse because he hated me.

"You should come inside." My mom said to which he nodded positively, bloody double faced, if he hated me why was he even coming inside my house?

"And why were you coming with a taxi at this time? As far as I remember you had a car." I asked.

"Yeah, mine broke down too, looks like we both had a bad day, only that I got a taxi ride back home and you got a ride from a guy which never happens." She smiled excitedly.

"Hold your horses mom, he isn't even my friend, he just dropped me home and that's it." I whispered back to her as Arnav walked behind us.

"It's still a big deal to see you with a guy, friend or not." She smiled excitedly, we walked into the hall as my mom settled down with Arnav talking to him and sent me to the kitchen to make coffee, imagine me making coffee for bloody Arnav, yeah I hadn't ever thought about that even in my worst nightmare.

I sat on the sofa beside Arnav and looked at mom angrily, I really wanted to shout or scream or something, why did she have to invite this guy inside?

"I won't be able to sleep if I drink this right now, so I guess I'll head to bed, it was nice meeting you Arnav." Mom smiled at him as she walked away leaving us alone.

I sipped on my coffee trying not to look at Arnav at all, it was just awkward and weird, we both sat their silently but he wouldn't just stop staring at me, I mean what was with him and staring at me like this today? I was glad he wasn't talking though because I knew if he spoke he would say something mean and I would throw him out of the house.

Once he was done with his coffee, his handed me his cup and as I was taking it from him, our hands touched slightly, I literally felt like something jumped inside my chest, it wasn't that I was touching him for the first time, we had a fight twice so we had touched each other, but this was different.

I walked back from the kitchen after returning the cups inside, I found him still seated on the sofa, he was looking around at the things placed in the hall.

"I'll send a mechanic to repair the car and bring it back tomorrow." I said to Arnav hoping he would take the hint and leave because I couldn't directly tell him to leave, well I could but he had dropped me home I was just trying to be nice, I wanted him to leave because having him here was uncomfortable and it was making me someone I was not.

"Why are you standing, sit down." He said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me, I sat on the sofa looking at him in shock, if someone else had done this, I would have punched him on the face and kicked him out of my house, but he wasn't someone else, he was Arnav. He was the guy I hated but he was making me feel things I dint even know I was supposed to feel or not.

He dint leave my hand and my attention was on it, I could literally hear my heart beating in my chest, why was his touch making me feel this way? He kept on looking at me and I really couldn't figure out why he was suddenly looking at me this way, it was different than the way he always looked at me.

"I guess this alcohol is something, I was drunk a while back but I can see how it worked, look at me I was behaving nicely to you when in real I want to murder you." He laughed.

"I think you should leave." I stood up, he was right, we both wanted to murder each other and we were supposed to hate each other, so why were we even behaving nice? I think it was the alcohol.

"Who said I was going to stay?" He shrugged as he stood up and headed towards the door, he stopped and turned to look at me before exiting.

"You are the only person in my life that I hate so much, I dint think I was capable of hating anyone as much as I hate you. You're just a stupid girl who is so proud of being so freaking gorgeous and the bad girl and you think you can beat me in anything.

I am Arnav Raizada and I don't lose, not against a girl, a girl is supposed to be taken to my bed only not fight me but you! You're just so irritating, and you should be going to my bed like all those girls but you're fighting and you're driving me insane!" He said, I couldn't really believe that he said I was freaking gorgeous, I mean he dint say it directly but he did mean it, I was so sure of it. What happened to him calling me ugly though?

"Get lost before I start punching you right here because not even my parents would be able to stop me." I looked at him angrily, I was just trying to remain calm because I was at home and my parents hated me getting into a fight with anyone.

"Who said I wanted to be anywhere near you anyway." He said as he walked away, I punched the wall angrily, this guy was frustrating, and why was I even feeling anything about him touching me when we both clearly hated each other?

I sat on the sofa feeling angry about everything, why did he even have to be nice to me, even if it was for a while, it clearly changed so much into me, now I was feeling some stupid things about it and I dint want to but I dint even know how to stop feeling that way.

I looked up when I heard footsteps and stood up immediately when I saw Arnav walking in again, wasn't he going to leave?

"Why are you back?" I asked trying to be calm.

"I left my car key on the sofa I guess." He rubbed his hand behind his neck, he looked pretty nervous, I had never seen him being nervous.

I looked around the sofa trying to find his key but I couldn't see it, he walked towards me and joined me in looking for it.

"It must have fallen down." He said as he bent down and looked underneath the sofa, his T-shirt pulled up and his jean went down revealing a bit of his back, it had a tattoo on it, there was something written which I couldn't really read because he stood up immediately.

"Found it." He smiled holding the key in his hand.

"You have a tattoo?" I asked, I dint really want to be nosey and I really dint care but I don't know I was just curious so I asked.

"Yeah, you don't like tattoos?" He asked.

"I do, just my parents wouldn't allow me to get any ever." I said remembering the time I had told them that I wanted to get a tattoo and they both looked at me like I was crazy, I mean tattoos were so normal nowadays, almost everyone had them.

"Wait you saw the tattoo on my back?" He was smirking suddenly, I knew it was in a really weird place so I could understand the smirk he had.

He moved closer to me and I was suddenly feeling out of breaths, he stopped an inch away from me and suddenly grabbed my hand, he turned around and I was glad he did, I dint know what kind of expressions I had on my face.

"You can get a clear look at it if you wish." He said, I was sure he was smirking and as much as I dint want to, I just did it, I don't know why, maybe because I was behaving stupid suddenly.

He placed my hand on his back and I pulled up his T-shirt slightly, it wasn't a drawing or anything, he had a quote written in really tiny letters, it was weird that a guy like Arnav would have a quote as a tattoo, he just dint look like the quotes kind of a person.

'I would live forever if I could, but not like this.' I kept on staring at the words making sure I read the right thing, why would Arnav have a tattoo of such words? What did they mean?

I brushed my finger on it slightly, I dint even know why I did that and the next moment he turned around and grabbed my hand again, I almost felt my heart jump out of my chest by that touch.

"What does that tattoo mean?" I asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just got it for fun." He smiled and turned to walk away, I dint even know what exactly happened between us, he stopped where he had stopped while he was leaving a while back and turned to look at me once again.

"You know I knew, you always wanted to touch me." He winked as he walked away, damn it! Why did I even touch the tattoo on his back? He was going to tease me about it forever.
