After classes, I was in the parking lot waiting for Leena, Ryle was standing next to me giving me company while I waited for her, he finally decided not to have a bet with Arnav and his gang and I was glad he took that decision, because of course I wasn't going to be the reward, plus it was better if he stayed out of their business.

I looked around and spotted the red Ferrari parked just a few cars away from mine which meant that Arnav was in school yet and the last thing I wanted was to come face to face with him in the parking lot, it ended up reminding me of our first meeting.

Have you ever heard of the saying, talk of the devil and the devil appears? Yes, that's what happened, just when I was hoping he wouldn't show up, he did! He was with Aaron and they both walked towards their car flaunting their leather jackets as it they were some newly bought accessories.

Leena stopped in front of me just when Arnav was a few inches away and I was glad, I dint even want to look at him and share an awkward kind of eye lock.

"Double date tonight at 8." She said.

"Are you informing me or are you asking me?" I raised an eyebrow at her, she shrugged and turned to look at Ryle completely ignoring me.

"Would you like to accompany Khushi for a double date? Me and my boyfriend, you and her?" She asked.

I stared at her like what the hell, if it was a date, why was Ryle invited? Weren't dates for people who were interested in each other or were romantically involved, and neither was I interested in Ryle nor were we romantically involved.

"Sure, I would love to." Ryle said excitedly.

I gave an angry glare to Leena who was now looking at Arnav and Aaron who had just walked towards their car, I turned to look their way and I saw Arnav staring at me like he was going to murder me, seriously what was with the bad boys and their mood swings?

At lunch time he wanted a date with me and now he was looking at me like he wanted to kill me, I shrugged and turned back to Ryle, I bid him a goodbye and got inside my car as Leena joined me.

"What the hell was that?" I barked at her, giving her the angry glare.

"What was what?" She looked at me in confusion.

"The double date thing, okay I understand you wanted to introduce your boyfriend to me but there were other ways to do that, setting me up on a date with Ryle isn't the thing to do, besides I'm not even interested him, he's just a friend Leena."

I drove off angrily while she decided to ignore me because she was busy texting someone on the phone and all I wanted to do was snatch her phone and throw it away so she could concentrate on our conversation.

"So who are you interested in? Arnav?" She looked at me accusingly.

"What? No! I'm only interested in either Damon or Stefan Salvatore at the moment!"

"Enough of your Vampire diaries references, I heard it in school, Arnav and Ryle were to have a bet in which if he won he would get a date with you, there is no way you are going to any date with him."

"I am not, Ryle decided not to bet."

"I know, and that's why when I saw him passing by, I just wanted to do something to keep him away and I just faked a double date, you could have seen the look on his face, I'm sure he overheard you are coming to the date with Ryle."

"So the date isn't real?" I sighed in relief.

"Well technically it's not real but now that I have already invited Ryle, we'll have to go somewhere."

"Arghh!" I groaned.

Honestly, I don't know what people around here were made of, they liked taking decisions for others so much, firstly Ryle wanted me to be a reward for their bet and now Leena wants me to go on a date which could give Ryle some false hopes, I hated this.

I stopped the car outside her house, she jumped out of the car and shut the door, she looked at me through the window and smiled.

"Ryle is hot, I wouldn't mind if you'll be interested in him, I'll text you the details of the date in like an hour, drive safe." And with that she headed inside her house leaving me in a dilemma.

*****

As soon as I stepped out of the car, I heard my phone buzzing, I pulled it out of my pocket and stared at the screen, I had a notification of a text message I had received from an unknown number.

'Did I tell you that you and black are a terrific combination, Love.'

Holy shit!

Did the text message end with Love?

Yes it did!

How did he get my number? And why all of a sudden he felt like complementing me at the end of the day, I was in the school the whole day, he could have told me that on my face than texting me.

Really now? Did I actually want Arnav Raizada to tell me some cheesy lines face to face, it would have been gross, or maybe not.

I pushed the phone inside my pocket and pulled out my bag from the backseat just when it buzzed again, was he going to text me fifty times in a row now?

'So I heard you're going on a date with Ryle' the text read.

I smiled at the text, I don't know why I actually smiled, maybe because Leena was right, he had heard our conversation but why the hell was I smiling?

I heard the sound of a car pulling up next to mine, I lifted my head up and holy Shit!Did I just see a red Ferrari?

I rubbed my eyes like five times just to make sure I wasn't dreaming, and I became sure when I saw Arnav sited in with Aaron, he opened the door and stepped out, obviously he was heading towards me and I was suddenly so nervous, I was literally shivering, I dint know why he was here or what he wanted from me, did I do something wrong again?

"You dint reply my text." He said stopping a few inches away from me.

"So you stalked me till here to get a reply to your texts?"

"Something of such sort, so tell me, the date, with you and Ryle." He shrugged, he rubbed the back of his head with his hand looking a bit nervous but he still pretended to be confident.

"Oh I see, the bad boy ego of yours must be hurt because I refused to go on a date with you and instead decided to go with Ryle." I smirked.

At least there was a place where I could win, but this was the best revenge for the way he insulted me that day at the hotel, if he thought I was going to forget about it that easily, he was wrong!

"I dint even ask you out on a date love, it was just a reward for a bet which dint happen, so calm your horses." He smirked.

So what was this? Now were we going to have a battle of words and saw who won? I was in no moods honestly, I stepped aside and tried to walk away but he got hold of my arm, he freaking got hold of my arm!

No, I was feeling butterflies, I was feeling everything else in my stomach but butterflies, he pulled me back and pushed me to the wall, he pinned both his arms around me and stared me into the eyes.

"When someone compliments you, you have to say thank you Love, dint the English teacher in your previous school teach you that?" he raised his eyebrow.

It was getting hard for me to breath, with so much proximity between us, I felt like I was going to suffocate pretty soon if he dint move away. He traced his finger on my cheek and tucker the strand of hair on my face behind my ears.

I felt electric shock running all over my body, I don't know why just a simple touch from him managed to make me feel this way, the electric shocks and the adrenaline rush and the goosebumps and every damn feeling in the universe.

"As far as I remember you found some waitress hot so why don't you go and ask for a thank you from her instead?" I placed both my hands on his chest nervously and managed to push him away, I could finally breathe.

"There's no doubt she was hot, but you are beautiful Love."

I stared at the floor trying to remind myself that he had insulted me and I had to hate him but I found myself blushing, why the hell was I blushing?

"Are you blushing love?" He raised his eyebrow, whenever he raised it, it made him look hotter than he already was. Damn it, it was becoming too much of hotness for me to handle.

"You wish." I made an angry face at him and then walked away from him as I quickly rushed inside the house and locked the door just to be sure he would barge in suddenly. There was no way I was going to let Arnav Raizada and his cheesy lines affect me, I had a date to get ready for tonight, not an actual date but a fake date that my cousin had dragged me to, so at the moment that's the only thing I wanted to concentrate on.

I peeped through the window and saw Arnav getting back in the car, he had a short conversation with Aaron and then they both drove off.

I inhaled a deep breath and headed to my room feeling relaxed, at least he dint stay back to disturb me more, I wondered how Leena was going to react when she found out that Arnav had actually showed up at my place, but did she really have to know?

Maybe not.
