The Beats Of My Heart | Meri Dil Ki Dhadkan

Arnav and I sat in the tub, relaxing away as he held me against him, cleaning me up.

"I'm still waiting for story time," I pouted.

"But there isn't much," Arnav replied. "Besides, I told you stuff when we were dating."

"Only the parts about how hard it was, how it basically kicked your ass repeatedly, and stuff like that. You never once mentioned the photography stuff, therefore, story time!"

"Okay, okay," he chuckled. "The first few years that I was there, I used to dorm, and then later on got my own apartment. While I dormed, I shared a room with a guy named Sven, who was also an international student. He had a passion for photography, so I picked up a few things from him. I'm no professional but... yeah."

"Was he the type to always carry his camera around and be a show off?"

"No, he wasn't one of those that tried to flex his skills and have a groupie of of friends. He just loved what he did and only cared about that."

"Hmm... so care to explain where you learned how to pose me up like that?"

"Uh...."

What the?

Turning around, I straddled him and looked at him - there was a hint of blush on his cheeks.

Okay, now I have to know!

"Arnav... what are you hiding from me," I teased.

"W-well, it's not exactly hiding."

My eyes widened. "You just stuttered and you're not one to stutter, so now you have to tell me."

Arnav tried avoiding my gaze, but there was no use; he was going to have to tell me no matter what.

"Alright Khushi, fine, but put those eagle eyes away."

"Just tell me, drama queen," and I rolled my eyes with a grin.

Arnav shook his head with a sigh. "At the time, I was dating someone who was... well... quite eccentric."

"Meaning," I frowned.

"She was pretty... up and outgoing, kinda giddy. I mean it kinda helped me out since school was so hectic."

"Uh huh."

Arnav rolled his eyes. "Khushi stop frowning like that."

"Like what," I said innocently.

"Like you're going to fight someone who has no significance in my life."

"I am not frowning like that," I shrugged.

"Sure."

"Whatever, you're avoiding the topic, continue."

"Okay, fine. She was very outgoing, and one day she just popped by and caught me watching porn."

I couldn't help but to snort, pursing my lips. Arnav only rolled his eyes and I could not stop myself from laughing.

"It's not funny," he exclaimed.

But I could only laugh, especially since the hint of blush had reappeared on his cheeks.

"Khushi!"

"What," I laughed. "You're the one that's turning red!"

Arnav huffed and splashed water at me, not that it really helped.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop laughing," I said when he wouldn't stop splashing me. "Now go on, you got caught watching porn and?"
