ARNAV

The day began in the strangest possible way it could, Tina as usual came home to see us once we were back from the trip, she rushed towards me when she saw me in the hall and hugged me excitedly, now it wasn't strange that she hugged me, what was strange was that Khushi walked right in after her, and I don't know why but I dint want for her to think that there was anything between Tina and I, we were just friends.

"I missed you." She said, I wasn't usually and awkward hugger but today I was, all because she was standing there watching us, what was wrong with me?

Gladly Rahat joined us downstairs and Tina finally broke the hug and rushed to hug him.

"Did you miss me too or was it bro only?" Rahat laughed.

"Strangely I missed you too." Tina giggled as she broke the hug and looked at the both of us.

"So how was your trip?" She asked. I dint know what to say about this trip, it was unlike every trip we had had, I was sort of becoming like Rahat, I was starting to look at our manager in a way I shouldn't but I had no control over it.

Why was I attracted to her anyway? I mean of course she was beautiful, but I had met a lot of beautiful girls, Tina too was beautiful and she felt for me too, but I never felt anything for her despite that.

And now suddenly I hired Khushi so for once I would get someone who is professional and not always flirting with Rahat and now I'm the one behaving unprofessional by being attracted to her.

But maybe what I feel is different than what Rahat does, obviously Rahat is always just flirting and sleeping around, I don't do that, I've never even looked at a girl differently until Khushi, I mean what's so special about her? Why am I attracted to her?

"Sir, can I talk to you for a moment?" Khushi asked as she walked towards us.

"Why don't you talk to me?" Rahat smirked as he stepped forward, Khushi rolled her eyes at him.

"Because I don't think you are serious when it comes to work." She said, I laughed at the face Rahat made when Khushi told him that, it was funny.

"What is it about Khushi?" I asked as I looked at her keenly, how gorgeous she looked while dressed in simple official clothes. I mean seriously there was nothing this girl was doing but I was just attracted for no reason at all.

"You were right when you said this is going to be a stressful, since we've arrived back, I've got a lot of calls, for press conferences, for concerts, for recordings and what not." She sighed.

"It's okay, I'll help you, come." I said as I headed upstairs to my room, Khushi was about to follow me but Rahat stopped her to talk to her while I headed to my room and waited for her there.

RAHAT

"Hey, where are you running away?" I grabbed her arm and pulled her back, I looked at Tina who took the hint and walked away leaving us alone.

"Unless you didn't hear me, I have some work with Arnav sir." She rolled her eyes at me, I never let any girl do that to me, but just because I had to win this bet, I was tolerating all her useless drama.

"Oh come on Khushi, why are you being so rude to me?" I asked.

"After the stunt you pulled at my place yesterday, you expect me to thank you for it Rahat? What is your problem Rahat? I mean I am a simple girl I want simple things in life, like to study and build my career but after what you did at my place, my mom thinks you are the perfect guy and I should get married to you, I mean what the hell!" she looked at me angrily like she wanted to kill me.

Typical middle class parents thinking their daughters can get rich husbands.

"So what's wrong about that Khushi, when I said I liked you it was because I saw a future with you." I said. Why was this girl playing so difficult to get man?

"Look Rahat for the last time, I am not those girls you pass your time with and right now I'm not looking for a relationship either so why can't you leave me alone?"

"Because I like you, I just want you to look at me differently for once Khushi, stop hating me and see me for who I really am and maybe you might like me too. All I am asking for is a chance to prove that I really like you, whatever I feel is genuine please. See even your mom wants that so for her and for me, please do this." I pouted hoping my charm would work.

She sighed and stood there silently thinking for a moment and then finally nodded.

"Fine, but this doesn't mean I'm interested in you."

"Okay, now you can go do your work, I'll see you at dinner tonight." I smirked.

"Excuse me, what dinner?" She looked at me almost angrily once again

"The one your mother invited me to." I smirked, she rolled her eyes once again and headed upstairs. Yes, I was almost winning this bet, I knew the easiest way to convince her was by bringing her mother in otherwise it was going to take me forever. I took the right step at the right time.

"Did you see that Tina?" I smirked at her as she walked back towards me.

"Just because you're going to dinner to her place doesn't mean she likes you Rahat, she has to like you for you to win the bet, I guess that would never happen. Here's a tip, just make sure she doesn't start liking Arnav instead, you know Arnav is very likeable unlike you." She laughed at me and walked away.

Whatever I was doing was okay because I knew I wasn't going to end up with her, but if her and bro made a connection everything would be ruined, I dint want such a middle class girl for my brother, no way, I wouldn't let that happen!

ARNAV

Khushi sat down beside me in my room as she started telling me everything, but I was completely zoned out, I was just staring at her, her beautiful hazel eyes, her hair falling down to her waist, all so perfectly straight, her beautiful face, how her lips moved while she talked and how she bit them in between while talking, and then her beautiful dressing sense, how sexy she looked in those heels.

Jeez Arnav relax!

"So yeah, that was it." She said, I looked at her in confusion, I hadn't caught a word of what she had been speaking all this while.

"Okay do me a favor, can you write all this down, I'll tell you what's important we can do that, the rest we'll ignore." I said.

"Sure sir." She nodded as she stood up and bent over the table to pick up a notebook and pen, I could feel her strong scent and it was intoxicating me.

Oh God. Help me. How did I go from never feeling anything for any girl to suddenly feeling so much for Khushi?

I stared at her and she wrote down everything while at the same time I wondered why I felt all this for her, why only her? What was so special about her?

Maybe because she was the first girl I had spent so much time with apart from Tina, she made me laugh, she made me happy, he was confident, when I was wrong she told me on my face, she was exactly the kind of a girl I always thought I would want to be with, maybe that was why I was attracted to her.

Because everything about her was just what I always wanted in a girl that I wanted to be with it, yes, now it sort of made sense.

But what was I supposed to do now?

I did have feelings for her, there was no way I could think so much about her and be this attracted to her if I dint feel for her, which was great for me, but I dint know how she would take it if I told her about it, she might think I am Rahat part two, and that's the last thing I want.

"Here sir." She said as she handed me the paper on which she had written everything.

I nodded as I took the paper and she turned around to walk away.

"Khushi." I called her out, she stopped and looked at me.

"Yes sir."

"You look really beautiful today and I love your dressing sense." I said.

"Thank you sir." She blushed as she walked away.

Really Arnav? What was I doing? Why was I making it obvious that I liked her? Why was all of this so complicated? I wish it would have been easier to tell her without being scared of her but the last thing I wanted was for her to think something wrong about it.

I was never scared to tell anyone what I felt, I never hid anything and I swear, if I wasn't this scared of her I would have told her right away but I also knew she would take it wrongly so I guess I had to find a way of showing her my feelings without her taking them the wrong way.

I had finally met the girl I think I couldn't take my eyes off and I dint want to lose on that chance to try to get to know her more, outside of work too, I dint want to lose the chance of taking her to a date, dropping her home, and all those romantic things.

Wow, Khushi had now made me sort of romantic to, way to go Arnav!

I heard a knock at the door of my room and turned my head up, I saw Khushi peeping in.

"I just came to say, you look handsome too." She giggled as she walked away leaving me blushing. Wow I never thought there would come a day when I would be blushing.

I mean look at me going from the serious Arnav who concentrated on work and always thought he would never meet a girl that he would really like to me concentrating on nothing but Khushi only.

I wish I could tell her how she was making me feel because keeping all this feelings to myself was such a huge deal for me.
