Chapter 11: Date But Not A Date.
Alia opened the door and Arjun made his grand entry. She eyed him head to toe and Arjun raised his brow questioningly at me. No one spoke a word for few seconds and then Arjun broke the silence.
"Naina, who was the insane woman on the phone? She didn't even let me finish and she....just hung up", Arjun said.
I was now standing between Alia and Arjun , to prevent the fight that was about to erupt between the two.
But Alia surprised me, " I'm sorry I called you an idiot and I think we are equal...... I called you an idiot and you called me insane and that settles", she said leaving no space for Arjun to argue.
Arjun stood there glued to the ground, not even uttering a word.
"Alia Sighania", she said and put forth her hand to shake.
"Arjun Thappar ", he said and shook her hand formally.
"No offence, Arjun to your choice but why are you taking Naina on a date? She's been acting like ninety year old granny of lately ", she said.
Now, don't get her wrong that she's jealous or something; she's just pulling my leg.
"You know, I've always liked older women", he answered her and they both started laughing as if it was the funniest joke ever.
"Are we done? Can we leave already?", I asked being impatient.
"Oh my God, Naina. I never knew you were so eager and desperate for the date", Arjun said totally enjoying pulling my leg.
"Oh yes, Arjun. You see , I was so eager to go out on a date that I couldn't even contain my joy when you asked me out! ", I said my voice coated with sarcasm.
He looked at me with his brows furrowed and seemed to think for some time.
I, then continued, " and you! It's hard to believe that you have teamed up with him against me", directing my statement to Alia.
"That's because you didn't tell me about your date", she said folding her arms across her chest, looking away from me.
"Date? For me, it's a business dinner and for him it might be.......a date", I said and continued, " but still......you're my best friend and I would never team up with someone against you", I said and folded my arms across my chest.
"Awwww! I love you , Naina", she said and hugged me.
"Awwww! I love myself too ", I said mocking her tone.
When she realised I didn't say it back, she broke free from my hug a and started tickling me.
"Say it back or else, I'll tickle you to death", she said.
"OK woman! I...... Love..... You ", I said between my laughs.
"Now can we please leave for the date", Arjun interrupted.
"It's not a date and-"
"Now enough you two! Just leave already", she said practically throwing me onto Arjun.
Arjun, being a gentle man, snaked his arm my waist to stable me.
"Thank you ", I said being grateful.
"You're welcome, Naina", he said givingnme a cheesy smile.
"I'm sorry, I just lost my balance and-", he cut me off.
"Trust me, I didn't mind at all ", he said with a wink.
"Pervert", I said suppressing my smile.
