Invisible Strings * Ongoing*

12. Gravity...

Khushi nods at that – " alright....Arnav....it is..."

In the moment, Arnav feels like he really needed to change the trajectory of his path towards her or he'd lose his sensibility to think right – and so he just leans to the side of the wall now with his back to it but continues to stare at her boldly as he states – " just so you know, Khushi....your latest...pictures... doesn't do you any justice..."

That startles Khushi momentarily as she asks sure that he could read the confusion in her eyes – " what do you mean?? where would you even.. find my latest pictures??? It's not like...I am a public figure??"

Arnav admits now with his side rakish smile taking its enigmatic form on the side of his lips – " I have my ways....Khushi..and before you ask me, why I asked for your picture? It was because, I wanted to see you"

Khushi narrows her eyes at him, this knowledge reeking a havoc on her again.She narrows her eyes at him though, with a shake of her head – " as if, I don't know...those ways, surely either Mini Maa /Matthew Dad shared it with you...Mini Maa wouldn't without my knowledge...so perhaps? Matthew Dad??"

Arnav nods at that – " bingo..that...Khushi...either ways the fact remains...that your pictures don't do you any justice...I mean...look at you...so freaking gorgeous...you take my breathe away...Khushi...,"he pauses at that with all the intensity directed at checking her out from top- to toe – again.

Khushi shrugs at that casually even though she was feeling herself burn within at that, and she decides to just react to the former, knowing that would irk him – " well, sorry, that's rubbish. Everyone back at Fiji says....I am quite photogenic...k? like even...more than Samarth..."

And even though Arnav knew she'd brought that up casually in context, he felt like he couldn't bear to hear that Samarth's name on her lips right now – especially when – he still had no clarity from her end as to who he was to her – and so now he feels his feet act on their own accord as they move about a few strides closer to her, before holding her gently by the arm again pulling her straight up closer to his frame – an action that sends them both – into an electrified zone – almost instantly because of everything they were feeling within – " can you not...bring..the dude up ..right now?? please?? Khushi???not now...dammit....that reminds me...you are yet to answer my question...on the same...from last night?? Who is he to you, in the present, dammit???"

And Khushi obviously wasn't going to lie on the bit now – in the middle of this electric moment – but because she was way too thrilled by the moment – she decided to just irk him a little on that. It was highly satisfactory.She says now – " what is it to you dammit? anyway? like I said...its my personal life...you stay out off it...,"and she stares back at him all steely-gazed – knowing he'd just pull her closer. Exactly, what a deep part of her heart was aching to experience. What was wrong with her???????

As expected, her answer does rile up Arnav and he pulls her closer, enough that his breathe was now fanning her face – " damm you, Khushi. Get this straight – the two of us can never be out of each other's personal life..dammit..."

And it really was the next volt off electricity rushing through her at the next discovery of feeling what she was – under the feel of his breathe on her face – that made her snap now in the moment – "and that's coming from who????? You????????ha...like whose fault is that...anyway???"
