I walked to the parking lot after the classes were over and found Arnav leaning against his Jeep with both his arms folded, he was talking to a random guy and they looked really engrossed in the conversation, he was even genuinely smiling and damn he looked hot.

From far he looked like the perfect guy on earth but when you got to know him, he was everything but perfect, once his eyes fell on me, he said something to the guy who walked away and he walked towards me.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

"How did we go from wanting to kill each other to you giving me a lift?" I asked, I was literally being paranoid, I mean the first encounter with Arnav was so different than what it was right now.

"Because I am good unless people make me otherwise and you really bring out the worse in me." He shrugged.

"I think it's some sort of a bet you had with your friends." I said.

"Are you stupid? Those are childish things." He laughed at me like I was insane, I mean come on it was so normal, people did have bets about funny stuff and the way Arnav was behaving with me suddenly, it definitely had to be a bet.

"Let's get in the car, I need to get home." He said but I stood rooted at my place, did I really want this? I mean well even if it was a bet about anything, there was no way I was ever going to stop hating Arnav, so I dint really have to worry about.

"Fine, you can ask Stefan just to confirm it's not a bet when we get home, I guess you'd trust him and he's someone who doesn't lie." Arnav suggested, it sounded like a good idea but really I dint know Stefan enough to be sure that he would tell me the truth only.

"Okay how about I stop being nice and helpful to you after this is done?" He asked, I still dint move or say anything.

"Come on get in the car." He said suddenly placing his hand on my waist and leading me to the car, I swear if anyone had ever touched me like this before, he would be lying on the floor with bruises but this wasn't anyone, it was Arnav and I don't know why his touch always felt like some sort of electric shocks.

At the moment I wasn't even concentrating on walking towards the car, my mind was just stuck on how his hand was on my waist, and damn it felt really good.

He opened the door and I walked inside finally taking a deep breath as he took his hand of me, I couldn't understand why I was feeling this way about anyone touching me, mostly with Arnav, it wasn't supposed to feel good but it did.

"Did you like me touching you?" He asked with a smirk as he got inside the car and switched on the engine.

"It was gross, don't ever touch me like that again." I rolled my eyes and looked outside the window as if my face was going to show him that I was lying.

What happened to the Khushi Singhania that dint give a damn about guys?

"You know I could make you feel things you've never felt before, come on accept it you do want to feel it." He said.

"I can make myself feel better than any guy could ever."

"You're clearly a virgin aren't you?" He laughed, what was so funny about me being a virgin, it wasn't that boys dint want to sleep with me, if I started counting how many guys had approached me in the past, I'd spend the whole day just counting, I just dint want to sleep with any of them.

"Maybe because unlike you I don't go on sleeping around with everyone."

"No, it's because you don't know what it feels like, once you get a taste of it, you'll want more." He winked at me.

"Okay enough, the last thing I want is to be discussing my sex life with you in a car, whatever I do is none of your business so keep your nose out of my business." I shouted.

"Well the point is you don't have a sex life." He laughed, how could a guy go from making me feel electric shocks to making me want to give him real electric shocks?

The drive to his house seemed really long, he wouldn't just stop irritating me but I found a way to ignore him, I looked out of the window and ignored whatever he said so he just stopped talking on his own until we arrived at his place.

He parked his car and we both stepped outside, Stefan was out there busy gardening, guys who did gardening were cute and my kind of guys, not guys who talked to me dirty in the car!

"Hey Stefan." I smiled at him and greeted him just trying to ignore Arnav who was standing next to me.

"Khushi, what a pleasant surprise." Stefan stood up and walked towards me, he greeted me with a hug once again, once I broke the hug I looked at Arnav who rolled his eyes at me making me smirk.

"Yeah I came to get my car, was hoping I'd get a lift from you but you left early so unwillingly I had to come with Arnav." I giggled.

"Don't worry, next time your car breaks down at my place, I'll make sure not to leave early from the college." He smiled warmly.

"What makes you think I'm coming here next time?" I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Because we are friends now, you know you can always ignore that Arnav exists." He suggested.

I turned to look at Arnav who was standing behind me patiently listening to our conversation, I was glad he was listening, it was fun to talk nonsense about him in front of him.

"Yeah, like I am doing at the moment." I laughed as I looked away from him, as a matter of fact, I never thought I was going to become friends with another guy apart from Zion but Stefan was so much like Zion and we were actually friends now, I couldn't even believe it.

"If you're done talking shit about me, can we go inside now? Your car key is inside, come take it then you can continue chatting with your newly made best friend." He said as he turned around and headed inside the house while I followed him.

"If you act like this when I'm around Stefan, I'll have to believe you are jealous." I teased.

"Me? Jealous over you and some guy baby girl? Not even in your dreams." He smirked.

"I told you not to call me that!" I said angrily as I kicked his leg from behind, why did he have to call me such cliché names?

He stopped walking and turned to look at me making wonder why he had stopped suddenly, then I remembered that I had kicked on his leg playfully, so what was going to happen now?

"You know you were right, I would have started a fight with you before if you kicked me like this, this is definitely not me." He shrugged and headed inside.

"I told you, I knew this was a bet, no wonder you are being so nice to me."

"Really? I thought you were clever. If this was a bet, you would already be on my bed." He rolled his eyes and headed inside the house, Damon and Karthik were in the hall playing some video games, boys will be boys.

"Not that I would ever want you on my bed, you're clearly not my type anyway." He smirked."Who said you were my type either?"

"Do you even have a type?" He stopped and looked at me as if this was a really serious conversation.

I looked at him for a moment and we shared a really short eye lock but it was so awkward, his eyes were so beautiful, for a moment I got lost into them.

"If you keep staring at me like that, I might think you're interested." He smirked.

"Like I told you Arnav, I'm not the one night stand type or hook ups type of a girl, I better wait for my prince charming whom I'll love and get married to." I giggled.

"You aren't the hook up type of a girl because you haven't been with Arnav Raizada, once girls get the taste, they come asking for more." He said.

"Well I am not one of those girls."

"Really?" He raised an eyebrow and pushed me to the wall suddenly, he moved closer to me placing both his hands on the sides trapping me in between, if someone had ever dared to do this, I would have been so angry but I wasn't, not at the moment.

Something was definitely wrong with me, why wasn't I angry about a guy pushing me to the wall and being so close to me, that too, that guy being Arnav Raizada? The one I hated the most! He moved closer and closer, closing the gap between us, there wasn't even an inch of space left, his body was touching mine and instead of pushing him away I was just standing there still, lost into how good him being close to me felt.
