That Kind Of Love

Part 12

I was seated in class along with other students as we waited for our lecturer to arrive, it took him about five minutes to come but when he did, he dint come alone, Arnav came along with him.

As I saw him head backwards towards his usual place, I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss we shared yesterday, it was still fresh in my mind and I felt like it was happening right now.

Jeez Khushi. Get over it.

I remember telling him I dint want to see him ever again so I was going to sit here and pretend like he dint exist, pretty sure I was going to make this work.

Although the entire time, I concentrated more on him that what the lecturer was teaching, why was my mind stuck on him though?

Once the class was over, I rushed out trying my best to stay away from him and avoid him, it looked like he was trying the same so hopefully we were going to be successful in this.

I stopped in my usual place, under a tree looking around for Jai, we usually met here then decided to do stuff together, it seemed like he was running late.

I saw Aditi standing a bit further from me with a group of girls I dint know, they were talking about something and laughing. I really wished we could get our friendship back I really missed her, and I still wanted her to be my friend, why couldn't she just let me solve the issue between us.

While I was lost in my thoughts, I heard some sort of sound, the next moment I saw Arnav bend down in front of me as he picked up his keys.

Did he throw them on purpose or was it just an accident. He stood up and instead of ignoring me and walking away he looked at me, damn it stop looking at me Arnav.

All I could think of when I looked at him was the kiss and a part of me wanted to kiss him again. Why was I becoming like this seriously? I'd never had such thoughts about a guy ever!

"Oops, I can feel some serious sexual tension." Aditi laughed as she looked at the both of us.

Arnav marched towards her immediately, ignoring me like he had said and stopped in front of her.

"You really need to mind your own business." He warned her.

"Or what? You're going to kill me?" Aditi asked.

"Why do you two always keep fighting?" I decided to intervene.

"None of your business and I told you, stay the hell away from me." He warned as he walked away. Seriously was this guy crazy or what?

I was here minding my own business, he's the one that came here. Maybe Aditi was right, there was some tension between us, and it wouldn't be there if he hadn't kissed me on the first place.

"Why do you like to interfere in everything?" Aditi rolled her eyes.

"I am just trying Aditi. Don't you see it? I miss you, you were my best friend once, you cant just pretend that our friendship meant nothing to you.

I get it I made mistakes I hurt you but I am sorry and I mean it. all I am asking for is a chance, to explain things, to make things better between us.

All I am asking is a chance for our friendship Aditi. You can pretend to hate me all you want but you do know, you care about me, even though you hide it." I said.

"Well I am not the one that left just like that."

"I told you it was a mistake, I can't take it back, but you were my best friend, I at least deserve a chance to explain things. Please Adi, it's just one chance I am asking for... for our friendship, please?"

She stood there staring at me for a moment, if she thought I was going to give up on our friendship so easily then she was wrong, I wasn't the one to give up.

"Okay, one chance." She said. I looked at her in surprise, I wasn't expecting for her to agree so soon, I thought she was going to carry on with this until she felt I was punished enough, maybe I was.

"Great, our usual place? Seven o'clock?" I looked at her excitedly.

"Fine. Don't be over excited yet, I'm the one to decide whether you are forgiven or not." She said, I nodded happily.

At least things seemed to be getting better. If my meeting with her went well, we could get back to being friends, that's the only thing I wanted so much.

"Hey sorry to keep you waiting, I was stuck somewhere." Jai said as he walked towards me.

"On a serious note, what happened to your taste in men?" Aditi rolled her eyes at me and walked away as I laughed.

"What problem does she have with me?" Jai asked.

"Well she was once my best friend so she's exactly like me, trust me when I say this, I can't believe it myself too, how did we become friends?" I laughed as I started walking away while Jai followed me in confusion.

"So how did things go with Arnav's sister last night? Was it anything serious?" Jai asked.

"Not really, just usual girly stuff, nothing to worry about."

"Oh okay. So can we have our dinner tonight?" He looked at me hopefully.

"Umm, I'd like to but I'm meeting Aditi. She finally decided to give me a chance to explain things and I don't want to ruin it. Can we do it some other time?"

"Sure." He nodded, although he did seem a bit disappointed.

"Jai, you do know that nothing can happen between us right? I mean we are friends and we can always hand out together but nothing else apart from that."

"I know... I just thought that you kissed me and..."

"I am sorry, I was stupid, I did it coz Arnav made me mad, I dint want to give you false hopes, I am really sorry about it." I apologized sincerely.

Yes although in the first place I would have never been friends with Jai, I was now, and I liked being friends with him so I dint want anything to ruin that.

"It's okay, I understand."

"Great, I need to get back to class now, talk to you later?"

"Sure, bye."

I waved a goodbye at him and headed to attend my next class, this time when I walked in, I found Arnav already there, seated in his usual place, staring at me like he wanted to eat me or something.

Jeez Khushi, get a hold on your dirty thoughts.

*****

I stayed back in class long after everyone left, I was just busy doing some research and also writing down important notes, so by the time I decided to leave, almost the entire university was empty.

It was around six o'clock and I only decided to leave because I had to meet Aditi at seven, I wasn't going to let anything ruin this once chance I had.

I walked to the parking lot, unlocked my car as I threw all my stuff in the back seat, when I shut the door, I felt someone's arm on my waist and I turned around immediately to slap the person but stopped when I saw Arnav.

He pressed my against the car, his body against mine and I was left quite confused, weren't we supposed to avoid each other? Why was he here then? And why was I telling him to leave me alone? Was it only because we kissed and we wanted more, maybe lusting for each other or something?
