KHUSHI

I walked out of the room, drying my wet hair with a towel, Arnav looked up from the laptop and towards me, and for a while he just kept on staring at me, he dint even blink his eyes for a moment, he just had them wide open as he looked at me in awe.

"So, did you find anything?" I asked, he shrugged and looked back at the laptop, as if he was hesitant to tell me anything regarding it.

"Actually it's a long footage, it's going to take time until I watch it fully, for now I haven't found anything." He said, I don't know why but whatever he said dint sound believable or maybe I was just being too paranoid, obviously he was here to help me so there was no point of him hiding anything from me.

It was cute actually, the way he seemed to really care about me, I mean he was really working hard on finding this person that was stalking me, just so I could be safe, it was quite impressive.

Ananya walked with a tray in her hand, she placed it on the table and then picked up a cup and handed it to Arnav, I couldn't stop noticing how she looked at him, it was like she had never seen a man as beautiful as him before.

She was in awe of how perfect he was, her expressions and behavior said it all, when if you'd look clearly, Arnav was quite hot, no denying the truth and no wonder Ananya couldn't stop staring at him.

Arnav smiled as he took the cup from her and concentrated on the laptop once again, she frowned and picked up another one and handed it to me and then took one for herself as she smiled at me.

"He's so hot." She mouthed at me making me laugh but I made sure not to make a sound. She made some cute faces and turned back to him, staring at him like she would eat him right away.

Arnav looked up from the laptop and straight at me.

"I have to get to work, can I go with this footage? I'll watch it in my free time and see what I can do?" He asked.

"Sure, let me know if you find anything." I nodded, he picked the laptop and stood up so did I, I escorted him outside as he bid me a goodbye and then left, he seemed quite serious, more than he was when he came, I couldn't stop wondering what was going on in his mind.

"Holy Shit Khushi! Where did you find this man?" Ananya asked me once I walked inside, making me laugh once again, her reactions were really funny.

"Uhh, remember I am currently working for him?" I reminded her.

"Damn, he's so hot. Why are you always surrounded by such hot guys? First Aditya with his beautiful eyes and all that hotness and now Arnav, he looked like the angry young man type but so freaking hot too, I couldn't take my eyes off him." She said.

"Well yeah, it was obvious, you were staring at him like you'd jump on him right away." I giggled.

"I had that in mind but he clearly showed no interest in me, his eyes were stuck on you, I think he has a crush on you." Ananya winked at me.

"Shut up." I rolled my eyes at her, it was ridiculous, I mean I agree he was staring at me but clearly, Arnav was like the most eligible bachelor in town, he could get any girl he wanted, so why would he have a crush on me.

I mean no doubt I was good looking and all but still, it sounded strange, I dint think I was quite his type, and anyway why was I thinking about all this? I already had a boyfriend and if there was anything that could separate me from Aditya was love, because I dint love him, so I wasn't going to leave him unless I fell in love with someone which sounded quite impossible.

I had met so many guys in my life, dated so many but I don't know why it was difficult to feel love towards them, Aditya and I had been together for quite some while now, but I dint love him, maybe falling in love was difficult.

Although at times I wondered, who was going to make me fall in love? I mean what was he going to do to make me fall for him? Because I had dated good looking guys, rich guys, a few actors too, but it still dint happen, what was my heart really looking for?

"Deny it all you can, one day you'll notice it too, I wish he had a crush on me though, I wouldn't even waste a second." Ananya winked at me as she rushed to her room and I headed back to mine, she was crazy at times.

I sat on the bed when my phone buzzed I picked it up and read the message I had just received from Arnav on WhatsApp.

"I'm sorry for showing up without informing once again, I was just worried about you, hope you aren't angry about it." I smiled reading his text, I mean this guy was trying to help me and yet he thought I was going to be angry about it?

"I am not angry Arnav." I typed back a text.

"Glad to know, wouldn't want you to be angry on me." another message popped up accompanied with a wink emoji, I don't know why it made me blush, it was just a normal conversation, I guess Ananya's words had gotten into my mind.

I lied down on my bed and checked his profile picture, it kind of made me laugh, boys and showing off their bodies.

He had his own photograph set as the profile picture, it was taken near a pool and he had only shorts on, the rest of his body parts were visible and I couldn't take my eyes off his six packs. My eyes were just stuck on his abs I dint look at anything else in more details for a while.

I just had a thing for abs, I found such kind of men really attractive and although I hadn't seen Arnav shirtless, this picture gave a glimpse.

Ananya was right, this guy was quite hot, the funny thing being, I hadn't ever checked out a guy this way, I wondered why I was checking out Arnav.

I closed the app and put my phone away trying not to stare at his profile picture, it was weird but I couldn't really put a control on myself.

I had a big problem when it came to self-control, I picked up the phone once again and went to his profile, I saved the picture on my phone and continued staring at it for such a long time.

I mean it wasn't like he was my boyfriend or I liked him that way or anything like that, he was just so attractive I couldn't take my eyes off him.

Out of nowhere Ananya walked into my room, and I quickly placed my phone aside making sure it was upside down, I dint want to be caught staring at a guy's abs.

"You have work today? I don't and I'm bored." She said as she sat down on my bed.

"Nope, free day after so long." I said, she nodded and sat there silently looking around the room as if this was the first time she was in my room.

"You were right by the way." I said, she looked at me in confusion.

"About Arnav, he is hot." I giggled as I started blushing again, why the hell was I blushing? I guess I had been staring at his picture for so long, no wonder this effect.

"And what made you agree?" She smirked.

"I'll tell you if your promise not to judge me."

"Oh come on Khushi, we're friends, we know the shittiest stories about each other and we don't judge each other, so tell me." She looked at me excitedly.

She was right, we knew a lot of things about each other, even the craziest ones but we never judged each other, I guess that's what friendship was all about, knowing all your friends dirty secrets but not judging them.

I picked up my phone and showed her the photograph, she opened her mouth and eyes wide as she stared at it just like I was.

"We should invite him for swimming one day, we'll get to stare at his body." Ananya said as the both of us started laughing, at times we talked such crazy things about guys, if someone heard us they would think we were crazy.

"Okay put it away, this picture is really giving me some dirty thoughts." She giggled.

"Jeez, you're so gross." I slapped on her arm as I placed my phone away, Ananya always spoke what came to her mind, she had no filter on her words.

"Oh don't jeez me, tell me you dint get any such thoughts." She rolled her eyes at me, I looked away from her, well she was quite right. But why were we discussing Arnav really? Aditya was hot too, we could just look at his shirtless picture and discuss him too, what was so important about Arnav anyway?

"Imagine getting married to a guy like that, he's a complete package." Ananya winked at me making me laugh again, this girl was crazy, but so was I.

"Do you think this guy can make you fall in love?" Ananya asked out of nowhere, I looked at her in surprise.

"Why would you ask that?"

"Duh, isn't it obvious, you were staring at his picture." She said.

"Ananya, I was staring at it because I found it hot that's it, I find so many guys hot, I'm dating one hot guy and I swear if you look at his picture it will make you feel the same way Arnav's picture did but that's something natural, it doesn't mean I'll fall for him, love doesn't happen like that, because if it did, I would have been in love with Aditya." I said.

"I wonder which guy is going to make you fall in love." She sighed.

"We'll find out when I fall in love." I smiled.

"Okay enough of this talks, let's go out somewhere, get ready we'll go shopping or something." She said as she stood up and walked out of my room and I also stood up to get ready.

I stood in front of my wardrobe and looked at the clothes wondering what to wear and out of nowhere that image of Arnav popped up in my mind, what the hell was happening to me? Firstly I was blushing because of him and now his picture was haunting me, what kind of sorcery was this?
