I turned around and looked at him, he looked back at me silently for a while, and here I was being impatient, wanting to know why he had stopped me from leaving.

He just kept on looking at me sadly, but he wouldn't say a word, was this why he stopped me? So he could just stare at me silently?

"Let's do this Khushi." He finally said, thank God he dint shatter my hopes, if he had said something else, I would have been so freaking mad.

"Let's do what Arnav?" I folded my arms and looked at him seriously.

"Lets date, be my girlfriend Khushi." He said. Those were the words I had been wanting to hear for ages, but he had a lot of trouble saying them.

Imagine if he had agreed then, we wouldn't be in this position today, we wouldn't be this hurt, in fact we would have been happily dating, but he had to do all this and in the end, he ended up doing the only thing he dint want to.

"So let me see... first you push me away, you're rude to me, you tell me to stay away from you and then you tell me that you want to sleep with me and then later you push me away again and come back again to tell me what you feel for me and you say you don't want anything to happen between us because you're scared you'll hurt me.

Like a stupid person I do a lot of things, I even seduce you and beg you to change your mind but you don't, you tell me to leave so I do that.

And now when I'm finally trying to move on in life is when you realize that you can't be without me? What if I was actually dating Jai, what if I had been happy with him.

Arnav... when life gives you a second chance, you don't freaking throw it away, you grab it, hold it so tight because you never know if there would be a third chance or not.

I am only saying yes because I am not stupid like you, this is the second chance life has given me and I don't want to throw it away like you threw yours away.

But I swear, if you wake up tomorrow and change your mind, I'll kill you." Wow I talk so much don't I? All this lecture Khushi? Seriously, there was no need for that.

Once I was done with my lecture, I looked at him waiting for him to say something but he was silent again, seriously what was wrong with him, he wouldn't talk when he had to.

"Are you done talking or should I give you a few more minutes?" He asked.

"What the... you're impossible Arnav." I said angrily as I tried to walk away from him but he immediately grabbed my hand, pulled me back and before I even realized, his lips were on mine.

Oh My God.

Why did he have to kiss me in public? I mean there weren't many people in the parking lot but still there were a few people and people were just staring at us, and it seemed like he dint care about them.

The kiss was so intense though that in a few moments, I forgot about people around us, I grabbed his face and kissed him back passionately.

It was finally happening, it was like a dream come true, I had been craving this, his love, his touch, and the way he made me feel, I couldn't be happier.

"Mine." He smirked as he grabbed my face and kissed me on the forehead.

"Okay, it's cheesy enough, we should head to class now." I laughed, he nodded as he grabbed my hand, held it into his as we both headed to class, I was a bit uncomfortable though.

I mean not about him holding my hand, it was because Aditi had told me to stay away from him and I had done the complete opposite, so I was scared, was if she saw us holding hands, she would kill me.

I still dint know why Arnav did what he did with Saakshi but I knew he had an explanation, and I couldn't really let this relation go because Aditi told me to stay away, I would if I dint feel things for him, but I clearly felt so much towards him.

"So, would you like to maybe go on a date with me tonight?" Arnav asked as we settled down in the classroom.

"Sure, it's going to be our first date." I smiled.

"Just so you know, I don't really have much experience with it, I should have asked you on a date then ask you to be my girlfriend, anyway, we'll just do it opposite." He said.

I nodded as I looked ahead, I dint know what to expect on the date or anything, this idea was a bit scary for me. I mean since I met Arnav, he's always been this scary type of a guy, everyone is usually scared of him, and now I was going on a date with that guy.

What was going to happen? How was the date going to be? Was he romantic? Of course, he was romantic Khushi, he kissed you in front of everyone.

"What are you thinking?" She asked bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Just... how you finally changed you mind and now we're together already, I wasn't expecting it and now I am kind of nervous." I said.

"What can I say, you got into my head." He smiled.

"I see Arnav Raizada can smile." I teased.

"Oh he can do a lot more than smile." He smirked making me blush, seriously this guy was over comfortable with me and as for me I was quite nervous. I mean of course I had feelings for him but he was just so different, he was always angry or serious, he liked scaring people and stuff, I wondered how he was going to be with me.

Soon the lecturer came in and the class began, Arnav was actually concentrating, I was too just on different things, I was looking at Arnav wondering how easily I just agreed to be with him.

I mean I had suffered for months without him, he had literally punished me badly, and then he was here telling me he wanted me to be his girlfriend and I agreed immediately.

Why?

Maybe it was because staying away from him for a while had made me realize how difficult it was, and maybe I no more liked him, what I felt for him was way stronger than just liking someone.

"You know we'll have to talk about how this will work?" I said to Arnav who finally looked away from the lecturer and towards me.

"I know... can we do all the talking after the date tonight? I just want to feel relaxed and normal for a while before we can talk about it."

"Okay, we'll do it after the date." I nodded.

I mean yes, we were together now, but the whole thing here was that he dint want to be with me at the first place because he thought he was going to hurt me, so if someday he ended up hurting me even a bit, he could get scared and decide to escape this but I dint want that, we had to sit and talk about how this was going to work and last, not break apart the moment things started to go a little wrong.

"Don't worry, I'll really try to make us work. But I'll need a lot of help from you, I just don't know how to be good to people and how not to hurt them." He said as if reading my mind.

"It's okay Arnav, whenever you need any help, you just come to me." I smiled.

"Okay." He smiled faintly.

*****

At lunch time, our classes were done, Arnav had something to do so he left and I headed to find Jai, I had to talk to him about everything that happened earlier today, after Arnav and I started talking he left, I dint know why though, maybe he was just giving us space or something.

I found him seated in our usual place, he looked kind of lost. I walked towards him and sat down beside him.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey." He looked at me and smiled faintly, it was quite awkward, I dint know what to say or how to begin a conversation or anything.

"So... you and Arnav huh. Finally happened." He said as he looked at me with a huge fake smile plastered on his face.

"You heard?"

"Yeah, people were talking, I mean given how everyone had always been scared of him so they thought you were stupid not to be scared of him." He laughed.

"Well if I started living my life on other people's opinions then it wouldn't be my life would it be? I am just happy right now, things seem to be finally falling in place, and just because Arnav seems scary doesn't mean I'll deny what I feel for him." I explained.

"I understand." Jai nodded as he looked away.

"I am sorry Jai, but I never really felt anything towards you." I held his hand and looked at him sadly.

"it's okay Khushi, I was expecting something that had always been impossible, but don't worry, I'm happy for you." He smiled, I just nodded and sat there silently until Aditi joined us and started telling us some random stories to which neither of us paid attention.
