Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (Arjuhi Fiction)

Part 13

Taking deep breaths, she couldn't bring herself to open her eyes to see "who" the chest belonged to that she had been so cosily snuggling up to. 

Then she heard the words "hello sunshine" and her eyes flew open. There on the chaise lying infront of her with just his shorts on and a cocky smile was Arjun Singhania!

Arohi stared at Arjun with shock and horror written all over her face. This, whatever this was did not happen, could not have happened. She was starting to feel light headed and the bloody pounding in her head was only getting worse. And then her eyes widened as events from the previous night started coming back to her. Drinking, dancing, being in Arjun's arms, flirting with him, oh my god the pool...THE POOL, asking to be kissed, the make out session Arohi felt her face going red. She wanted the earth to open up and swallow her whole. She couldn't look directly at Arjun. She stole a look in his direction and saw him staring up at her with a big knowing grin on his face. Still lying on the chaise with his hands behind his head acting as if waking up in the middle of a beach was a normal morning occurrence for him.

Arohi couldn't talk to him right now. She grabbed her shirt and didn't say a word as she raced away from him back to the villa. If there was a god then this would all just be a bad bad dream and she's be waking up soon. But if the nauseating pounding in her head was any indication this was no bad dream...this unfortunately was her freakin life!

Arjun stared after Arohi as she raced away from him. Shaking his head he couldn't help but smile. Life sure was never dull when Arohi was around. He had come to some realizations last night, he was very attracted to Arohi and he knew she felt the same attraction drunk or not. He had developed feelings for her and he wanted to see where those feelings would take them. But seeing Ms. Stubborn Ahluwalia race away from him he had a feeling that she wasn't going to be making this easy for either one of them. Arjun threw on his shirt and headed back to the Villa.

Arohi raced inside and barely made it to the bathroom before she threw up. Why did she drink so much, why? She washed her face and took 2 advils and then stumbled into her bedroom. This is what death feels like she thought to herself. Her stupidity had not only been the cause of the worst hangover in the history of hangovers but also the reason for the most embarrassing event of her life. She needed to find a way to never see Arjun Singhania again, but since they would be working together for 6 months not seeing him wasn't a possibility. She had thrown herself at him, hell she had made out with him. He was never going to let her live this down. She knew that if Arjun hasn't stopped she wouldn't have stopped him, as she remembered the feel of his hands on her she felts goosebumps. Arohi rolled over and closed her eyes willing herself not to think and feel and just to go to sleep.

Arjun and the cousins sat at the patio table on the deck having a late brunch. It had been a late start to the day for everyone. No one had heard a sound out of Arohi's room and assumed she'd be sleeping till late. Arjun was pretty sure Arohi had one hell of a hangover. The days activities were being planned out when Arohi walked out on to the deck. She heard the loud chatter and cringed. The drums beating in her head had not calmed down. First person she made eye contact was none other then Arjun, she quickly looked away and walked to the chair furthest from him at the table. 

"Di, I love your romper" Riya squealed. Arohi winced, "thanks "she said looking down at her magenta sleeveless cotton romper. Arohi poured herself some coffee and grabbed a piece of toast. Slowly taking a bite. The chatter around her continued grating on her nerves. "Di. where were you last night?" Priya asked. "I met a cute boy I wanted you to meet him." "Priya please don't yell into my ear" Arohi said through clenched teeth. Priya frowned, "sorry di, but I wasn't screaming though." Arohi heard a muffled laugh and then a cough. She didn't need to look to know who that was coming from. "No Priya, I'm sorry it's just that i have a blinding headache so if we could just tone it down a tiny bit that would be great." "Okay" Priya said whispering. "I'm not surprised di you have a headache" Sanchit said as he stuffed food into his mouth. "You drank like a fish last night." Arohi glared at him and heard yet another muffled laugh coming from the other end of the table. I hate my life Arohi thought to herself miserably.
