Chapter 13 : Young Love And Thankful Old People.

I-um-um-hi.....Naina! ", he said scratching the back of his neck.

"Hello, Arjun. So what brings you here?", I asked.

"I-um- um-mm the weather's so good, isn't it?", he said stammering.

I don't believe this!

Arjun Thappar stammering!

But why is he stammering? Am I a ghost or something?

"Seriously, Arjun? You've come all the way just to update me on weather? ", I asked.

He didn't say anything and I asked again," what is it, Arjun? I'm not gonna eat you! "

Still, no reply.

"Hey, come in! Pardon me for my poor manners!", I said opening the door wide and motioning him to enter.

"No. That's fine! I've just come here to....", he reached his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief, " give you this ".

"Oh! I must have forgotten it in your car. But there was really no need for you to come all the way just to give me my kerchief ".

"I tried calling you but it was switched off I guess", he said.

"Oh yes! I was out and my phone went dead but thank you anyways", I said with a smile.

"You're welcome", he said smiling.

We stood there in silence smiling occasionally at each other.

"You must come in because if my father comes to know that you were here and I didn't invite you in, he'll give me his infamous lecture on mannerism", I said opening the door wide, motioning him to enter.

"You're inviting me just to avoid your dad lecturing you.... I thought we were friends!", he said with a fake hurt.

"What a performance! You're a good actor! ", I said with a feign appreciation.

He just pouted but let me tell you, he looked so cute. Cute as in so cute, I just cannot describe it.

I made a straight face and said,"now how about coming in? "

"I'm inviting myself in, just because you're insisting it sooooo much", he said stretching 'so' like I was too desperate for him to come in.

"I'm glad you've decided to step inside", I said playing along.

I closed the door and we made our way to the living room. I placed my handkerchief that Arjun had returned onto the tea table.

Arjun made himself comfortable and I took a seat adjacent to him.

"Were you really watching this movie? Despicable me? Seriously? ", he asked astound.

"Yes, I love minions!!! They're sooo cute!!! ", I exclaimed.

He scrunched his nose up at my response and said, " you've just grown physically, mentally, you're still a kid".

My mouth opened and formed an 'o' at his stupid response. How could he say that to me? Everyone has their own choice, so what's the big deal, if I like minions! I'm sure there might be something weird that he too likes and I'll find it out and get back to him for this!

"I would love to throw you out of the house for disrespecting my cute and innocent minions but.. .....I don't want to have an earful from dad", I said folding my arms across the chest.

"Touché?", he asked with a fake guilt.

"Very", I replied with a straight face.

He smiled and said, " seriously? Minions ". He laughed heartily and I looked and that was irritating. What was so funny about me liking minions?
