The Controlling Lover (ON HOLD)

Chapter Six

Placing my iPad in my bag, I got up and headed out. Lavanya needed to rush to her next class because she had a test, so I let her go. Once I got out to the hallway, all the tension from the presentation went bye-bye.

"Khushi!"

I froze. Uh oh. This can't be good.

Turning on my heels, I looked back and saw Arnav. He was looking directly at me and started coming my way.

What does he want?

Arnav stood inches away and looked down at me. "Hi Khushi."

The way he says my name... it's making me swoon! But why?

"Um, hi?"

He looked down at his shoes and then back up at me. "Um, I wanted to ask you something."

I scrunched my eyebrows. "Ask me...?"

"Um, are you free Friday night?"

What. In. The. World?! Pot- Arnav is asking me out? On a date? Wah?

"U-um... y-yeah?"

"Are you sure? I mean you sound like you're asking me if you're free," he said, the corner of his lips slightly curving.

I shook my head clear. "No, I mean, I'm free- Friday night, that is... yeah...?"

Arnav smiled, looking down and then back at me. Aww! His smile is so cute! He looks so young!

"So would you be able to come to my place Friday night," he asked.

"Um...."

Do I want to go? I mean- wait a minute. Maybe I can find out some information on him. I mean I'm curious about this man, so....

"Sure," I said. "I'd be able to come," I smiled timidly.

He smiled again and boy does he look cute. "Great. I'll see you around."

"Okay."

He smiled and left.

Well this just got interesting.

*~*

"You did what," Lavanya exclaimed.

I knew she would kinda freak.

"He asked you out? On a date?!"

I nodded and moved to another bookshelf. We were in Barnes & Nobles.

"He asked you out? To his place? Big corporate guy with money bags in every corner of his room? Him?"

I nodded. "The one, the only."

Lavanya's jaw dropped to the floor. "I can't believe it!"

"Nor can I."

We moved to another shelf and I think what I'm looking for should be here.

"But wait; Khushi you don't sound so excited."

I looked at her. "Should I be?"

I really don't know.

"Well yeah! I mean Arnav fucking Raizada asked you out on a date!"

"Shh," someone hissed out.

"Sorry," she hissed and then she looked at me. "Well?"

"I don't know, I mean... where is he and where am I?"

"Khushi, don't think that. I mean seriously, ever since you told me how you guys met, it seemed like something would happen between you two."
