"There is and was never anything going on between us. Get that in your head. And if you'll excuse me, I would like to take my girlfriend to dance with me," Arnav replied back.
"Can I have a dance?" Arnav asked looking over at Khushi and she nodded. He took her hand and they made their way to the center of the dance area, leaving behind and angry and furious Sheetal.
When they reached the dance floor, Arnav took Khushi's hand from his side and moved her to the front so they were standing directly opposite on each other. Arnav took one of her hand in his and put the other one on her waist; Khushi put one in his hand and the other on his shoulder. Khushi wasn't really sure what to do and looked up at him. Arnav just pulled her closer and moved her according to the music. The music was mainly bollywood and changed from song to song depending on what the guests wanted.
"Remember I took dance lessons," he said looking down at her and Khushi smiled remembering their dance at the restaurant in India.
"Yes how could I forget? The great Arnav Singh Raizada took secret dance classes," Khushi replied back teasing him. Arnav chuckled at her response and spun her around.
"I'm sorry about Sheetal," Arnav said when she came in his arms again.
"What about her?" Khushi asked.
"The way she was behaving with you so rudely. Like I already said before, there was nothing going on between us at all," Arnav said removing his hand from her and now resting it on her hip. Khushi took her empty hand and moved it, now both her hands were resting on his shoulders.
"I know Arnav, I trust you that much," Khushi said looking into his eyes. Arnav felt a sense of pleasure run through his heart, if it had been any other girl, she probably would've gotten angry at him for the close proximity Sheetal was having with him earlier. But not Khushi. She didn't even once show the anger in her eyes.
"So much trust already Ms. Gupta?" Arnav said.
"Yes Mr. Raizada," Khushi replied back grinning.
"I'll be right back," Arnav said letting go of Khushi, "stay here don't move." Khushi was about to call him back but he had already left. Khushi saw him run over to the corner of the room, where a few guys were standing, he whispered something into their ears and they nodded. Arnav turned back around and came up to her again.
"What was all that?" Khushi asked curiously as he took hold of her hand.
"Nothing," Arnav said moving her to a slow beat.
"What do you mean nothing?! Of course it was something," Khushi said. She was slightly getting irritated that he didn't give her a straight answer. But then on the other hand, when does he ever do that?
"Just wait and watch," he told her. A few seconds passed by, and Khushi was moving her head around making Arnav give her a confused expression.
"What are you doing?" He asked her lifting his eyebrow in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"
"I don't know; you're the one who said 'just wait and watch'" Khushi said to him.
Arnav mentally slapped his forehead, she was taking this literally. He smiled at her then said, "Khushi just wait and listen."
A few seconds later the song stopped and a new one came on. The beginning started with a piano instrumental and carried on. Khushi heard the song and felt like she had heard it somewhere before, but couldn't remember where. Next thing she new Arnav had grasped her hand in his, with a firm hold and began dancing more actively.
"This song is dedicated to Khushi from someone very special," the DJ spoke of the intercom. A few heads who knew her turned towards them and smiled at her. Khushi was surprised and looked up at Arnav, only to find him already looking down at her. She tuned into the lyrics of the song...
tujko dekh kar aankhein muskaraane lagti hai
tujko mil kar dhadkane ghun ghunaaney lagti hai
Khushi moved her glance from his face to just his eyes, and smiled even more. The brown caramel colored eyes were making her melt in his hold. She couldn't be any happier on this day. Khushi moved her hands from his shoulders and wound them around his neck, trying to close the distance between them. Arnav tightened his hold on her waist, bringing her closer. The slowly moved around from side to side dancing to the song he had decided on...
aisa hota hai kyun mujhko khabar nahi...
pehle kabhi hua aisai asar nahi''
jo mere dil ke paas hai nahay jadoo nahay aihsaas hai...
"Like it?" Arnav whispered to Khushi while resting his head against hers. Khushi only nodded and smiled back at him.
"It's very beautiful," she whispered.
"Just like you," Arnav said making her blush a little. He tilted his head to the left a little and kissed her cheek. Khushi gasped at his actions. She tried to push him away, but he just clung to her and hugged her.
"Arnav what are you doing? Everyone is going to be watching," Khushi said.
"No one is watching, they're too busy enjoying. And what's wrong in this? I'm only hugging you'" Arnav said looking back at her.
"You weren't just hugging!" Khushi retorted back quickly. The mischievous look on Arnav made her realize what she had just said.
"Oh Really? Then what were we doing?" Arnav asked lifting and eyebrow.
"Woh'woh'.." Khushi said then looked around not knowing how to answer.
"Laal ho gayi," Arnav said.
"Kya?" she asked turning her face around.
"Tumari naak!" Arnav said flicking her nose. Khushi felt her face turning red and buried her face in his chest hugging him. She could feel the vibration of his laugh from his chest.
"I think I've heard it before though," Khushi said as the song came to an end and finished.
"What?" Arnav asked.
"The song you played for me," she replied back
"Remember when we had dinner at that restaurant once?" Arnav said moving his hand up and down her back.
"When you ruined my dress then tried to make up for it?" Khushi asked smiling.
"Yea that time," he said.
"What about it?" Khushi asked.
"Well I asked you to dance with me'." Arnav started off but couldn't continue. Khushi had quickly pulled away from the hug, making Arnav startled.
"WHAT THE?!" he said looking at her only to find her smiling from ear to ear.
"You remembered the song?!" She exclaimed with happiness overflowing in her eyes. A few head turned towards their directions and she quickly apologized for her sudden outburst. Arnav took her hand and moved to a secluded corner dragging her along with him. He put her against the wall, the hovered over her, his hands on either sides of her face.
"Of course I did, how I could forget," Arnav said, "It was our first dance together'."
"So you thought why not play it again today since I've officially given consent to us," Khushi said completing his sentence for him; the smile still visible on her lips. They were standing in a dark corner of the ball, but the lights were shining from the center of the hall, allowing them to see each other.
"Yup, you guessed it right," Arnav said smirking.
"You sure do know how to please a woman," Khushi said.
"What can I say? Women fall for me," Arnav said winking at her.
"But seems like it was the other way around this time," Khushi said slightly biting her lip.
"Don't do that," Arnav said.
"Don't do wh---," Khushi began say but was immediately cut off as his lips sealed hers.
