After dinner, Arnav and I sat together and finished watching a movie together and when it was finally time to go to bed, I dint feel like, I felt scared and I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep being scared.

I had just been kidnapped, obviously there were lots of thoughts going on in my mind, and I was just scared about getting kidnapped again.

"Do you want to sleep?" Arnav asked as he looked at me, I nodded negatively as I kept on staring at the screen.

"Are you scared?" He asked and this time I nodded positively, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer.

"Don't be, I'm here with you now and trust me when I say this, I'll not let anything happen to you." He tried to smile but no matter what, I knew it wasn't going to be that easy so I just kept silent because I dint know how to explain whatever that was going on in my mind.

We both sat there silently for about five minutes, neither of us saying anything but it felt better, having his arm wrapped around me, it felt safe.

"Okay come, I'll sleep with you." He said as he stood up suddenly and got hold of my hand pulling me up also.

"I mean just sleep with you so that you can sleep well, nothing else I promise." He smirked.

"Shut up." I giggled as I slapped on his arm, he smiled at me and then pulled me along to the bedroom, I stood in one place as he set the bed and got the blankets and everything.

"Come on now, don't be awkward, we're just sleeping." He winked at me.

I shrugged as I walked towards the bed and lied down immediately covering myself with a blanket, he sat there doing something on his phone, maybe texting his gang members or something.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself as I tried to fall asleep but it dint really work, because I was just lying there with my eyes closed but getting no sleep.

I turned around and looked at Arnav who was now lying beside me, staring at the ceiling, it looked like, just like me he wasn't also getting any sleep yet.

I moved closer to him and placed my arm around him, he looked at me and smiled a bit as he held me back tighter and we both closed our eyes once again trying to get sleep.

*****

I woke up to Arnav staring at me with a huge smile on his face and his arm yet wrapped around me, I kept on staring at him for a while and he kept on smirking like the bad boy he was and I don't know why but suddenly I remembered the text I had read on his phone and it irritated the hell out of me.

I pushed him away as I stood up and adjusted my clothes, I walked towards the window and pulled off the curtains as the bright sunrays fell in.

"Do you want to get a shower or something?" He asked.

"I do want to shower but I have nothing to wear so I guess I'll not shower." I said as I kept on staring outside, suddenly everything between us felt awkward.

I felt angry, on myself and on him and on everything else, I don't know even why I allowed him to get so close to me, was I stupid or what? How could I just sleep with him on the same bed knowing that there was never going to be anything between us because no matter what, he would still keep on going to sleep with random girls and that just made me feel like one of those.

"I'll get something for you from Krystle's room." He stood up and headed outside, I dint even turn around to look at him.

Why was all this even bothering me? I mean he was a bad boy and I was supposed to stay away from him and I don't know why but while trying to stay away from him, I ended up getting closer to him.

I was feeling just so irritated and angry and I knew I wasn't supposed to, it was his life, he could sleep with whoever he wanted to and I was supposed not to give a damn about it but well things weren't like I had planned for them to be, because I was angry, honestly I was behaving like some sort of jealous girlfriend and the irony here was, I wasn't his girlfriend.

The door to my room opened and I still dint turn around, I knew it must be him, we were the only ones in the house anyway.

"Here are a few dresses, you can choose whichever you like, I'll take my shower upstairs, you can get ready and then join me in the kitchen, and maybe we'll cook some breakfast." He said.

"Okay." I replied still not wanting to turn around and look at him, I waited until I heard his footsteps leaving the room and when the door was shut, that's when I turned around and looked at the few dresses he had left on the bed.

I stared at them all for a moment until I chose one, I picked it up and headed to the bathroom to shower.

*****

"Breakfast is ready." Arnav smiled at me brightly as I walked out of my room, honestly I dint even want to face him so I kept on sitting in my room just deciding whether I should go out and help him with breakfast or not.

By the time I came up to a decision and decided to go out, he had finished cooking and I felt like an idiot, obviously we both were going to eat so instead of overthinking, I should have just come out and helped him cook!

"It's a sunny day, if you're bored we can go out on the beach and just sit or do something." He suggested as he settled down on the dining table.

"Sure." I nodded as I settled down and served myself, I avoided looking at him or even making an eye contact with him completely, I just concentrated on my food and kept on eating.

"Is everything okay Khushi? I don't know if it's just me or you seem a bit off today, if you're worried about your mom then don't worry, I've got it handled, Stella has told her you're staying at her place for a while so it's sorted." Arnav said.

"I wasn't worried about that."

"Then what's wrong?" He looked at me keenly but I ignored his question and concentrated on eating, after I was done, I picked up my plate and headed to the kitchen, I washed it when Arnav joined me, he washed his plate as I walked away and headed outside.

I stood outside the gate staring at the beach that I could see from here, it was a pretty day, all sunny, I liked sunny days compared to rainy ones.

Arnav followed me outside as he locked the house and then walked towards me, he stood beside me staring at the same direction I was, we both stood there for a moment silently.

"Should we go?" He asked.

I nodded positively as he got hold of my hand and pulled me along, I stared at him in surprise, like hey dude, why are you even holding my hand?

I just kept on staring at him as he kept on walking, looking ahead and I wondered what to do, well today according to the mood swings I was having, I seriously could understand why guys always said that it was impossible to understand girls, today I was unable to understand myself.

Since morning I was avoiding looking at him and now I was staring at him like I was going to eat him up, since morning I was just angry on him and now that he had held my hand, I dint even feel like pulling it off or anything, oh God! Why was everything so complicated?

Well according to the research by me, the great Khushi Gupta, I think it wasn't impossible to understand girls or boys, it was impossible to understand feelings, those were the main problems weren't they?

"You know we used to come here a lot as kids, the whole family, and Ahaan and I would spend the whole day at the beach until mom would have to come and drag us back to the house literally. It was good to be a kid, I mean just sit and build sand castles and play with the water and everything, I miss those days." Arnav smiled as he looked at me.

"What's your favorite childhood memory Love?"

"Will you ever stop calling me Love? I don't even understand why you call me that, I mean I have a good name, Khushi, call me that, why Love?" I looked at him angrily, well my mood swings had just began.

"What's wrong? I've been noticing since morning, you were avoiding me and now you sound like you're angry on me, at first I just thought that maybe it's because of all this, you getting kidnapped and all, it might have stressed you up but now I feel that's not the thing, so tell me Khushi, what is it? What have I done to make you so angry?" He stopped walking and looked at me seriously.

"Nothing." I shrugged as I tried to walk away but he pulled me back and pressed my hand behind me, he looked at me very seriously.

"Then why the hell are you behaving like this with me?" He shouted at the top of his voice.

"Why do you care Arnav? I'll behave whatever way I want to behave with you, it's my wish so don't tell me how to talk to you or anything." I said as I tried to get free of his hold, but well obviously the bad boy was stronger.

"I care because you're important for me, I said that last night also, do I have to repeat myself every time so that you can understand how important you are for me?" He let me go and looked around angrily, he punched a tree and then turned to look at me.

"Every girl is always important for you Arnav, how else would you manage to sleep with them?" I looked at him angrily and then walked away and a few second later, I heard the sound of him laughing, can you believe it, he was laughing on such a serious thing!

"Are you jealous?" He asked, I stopped and turned to look at him.

Maybe I was, who knew, like I said before, feelings were difficult to understand and they made us do things we never thought of doing.

"Me and jealous? Go sleep with whoever you want to, as if I care." I shrugged and turned around as I continued walking.

"If you aren't jealous and you don't care, why are you so angry about me sleeping with anyone else Khushi? That's me, I am the bad boy, I sleep around with random girls, I do terrible things and you know that, so if you really don't care, stop acting like you do."

"Fine! I shouted back angrily and then ran away, I dint want to have this conversation anymore because seriously it wasn't Arnav, it was me, I was the confused one because I was caring too much about the things I wasn't supposed to care about.

Arnav was right, why did it even matter to me if he slept with anyone? He had been doing that since forever!
