Love Only Happens Once... Don't Miss It

Chapter 16

They quickly got ready and headed downstairs, where Ashok, Biju and Kavya were already there. The group quickly said hello to Kavya and then they left for Oshawa Town Centre in a large van. Once there, they did lots of shopping for their winter clothes and then split off to see what else they liked. Arjun and Priya found themselves at a Build-a-Bear store. Neither of them bought anything and just watched little kids make their own bears. While they were watching, Vaishu came and dragged Priya away to help her choose the perfect earrings to go with a dress she bought. At that point Arjun was all alone. "This teddy bear would be the perfect bow to the surprise," he thought. He went inside, and bought a white bear with red ears and paws. He didn't buy any accessories as he knew it would just make the bear less comfortable to cuddle with. However, he did record himself saying 'I Love You Priya' and put it inside the bear, and scented it with lavender, hoping that it'll calm her nightmares. He also got the foot of the bear to be embroidered with 'I Love You Priya' as well. He bought it and put the bag inside of another bag, so that his kelvi kuri doesn't get suspicious. The bear looked similar to this

Soon they finished their shopping and headed back to the hotel, arms full of new winter clothes. There, they quickly got dressed in the new clothes and ushered outside to a large hill. Ashok brought out five sleds of different types, and demonstrated how to use them. Obviously Vaishu and Jai were the first ones to go, with Sukanya and Manoj and Kavya and Karthik behind them. Ashok climbed on with Biju and Arjun with Priya. "Ready?" Priya asks looking back. Arjun nods. They push off and slide down the big hill, but because they didn't know how to steer it, they end up falling over each other and laying face up on the ground. After a couple more times, Kavya shows them how to make snow angels, and snowmen. They spend the whole afternoon in the snow, acting like little kids. While most were unconcerned about photos, Arjun made sure to take plenty of Priya and Priya and him, and Priya with the rest of them. "Because you take a picture of everything," he laughs. "And because she along with the rest of us look amazing in these outfits!" Sukanya whispers to Kavya and Vaishu. They laugh and continue to enjoy the new white fluff that they were seeing for the first time.

After that they all headed to a Canadian coffee shop, Tim Hortons. Ashok ordered for the lot of them, since they didn't know what anything was. They ended up getting french vanillas for the girls, and all the guys except for Arjun got a double double (two milk, two sugar) coffee. Arjun doesn't like coffee so he got a steep tea. "Wow this is heavenly!" Priya sighs, "what did you say it was again?" "French vanilla, basically hot chocolate with caffeine." Ashok chuckles, "what do you think about it S?" "I agree with Priya, this is the best drink ever! I have to get the recipe, and make it at home, what do you say Priya?" Sukanya answers. "Vaishu?" Ashok asks. "No words. I'm on a caffeine and sugar high!" She laughs. Priya and Sukanya place down their drinks and get up to use the washroom (cuz girls never go alone :P). As they stand up, "hey Sukanya can I try your French vanilla?" Arjun asks. "Sure, you know which one it is," she says, and the two go to the washroom. When they come back they see Arjun drinking out of Priya's cup instead of Sukanya's. "Um.. Arjun," Sukanya starts, trying to control her laughter. "What? This is delicious, I don't usually like coffee, you know that, but this is amazing!" Arjun exclaims taking another sip. "Hope you don't mind that I drank half, here have some of my tea, it's good too." "Actually, you drank from the wrong cup, that's Priya's French vanilla," Sukanya laughs. Arjun turns red but quickly recovers from it. "So? Priya do you have a problem with me drinking from your cup?" Priya shakes her head with a laugh. "Cool, so no problem," he says taking another sip. "Here you can drink my tea if you want." "No it's okay I'm fine." Priya smiles. They sit back down and they continue talking until they finish their drinks. After that it was almost 9, so they head back home.
