MINE

Part 24 - Crazy

ARNAV

What was wrong with me? It was literally the only question I kept on asking myself since I had met Khushi, I mean how the hell on earth was it possible for someone to have such an effect me? How?

Things were literally getting out of my control now, all I could do is think about her, want to see her, drive through the way from her house hoping I'd get a glimpse of her and a lot of crazy stuff, like me explaining so much in detail to her about having lunch with Ishaani's sister, it was me trying to show her clearly that I'm not interested in anyone else.

I mean I was doing all those stupid little things I had seen in movies only, I had to do something about this crush of mine on her, I couldn't live like this anymore, just thinking about her, wanting to see her, missing her and so on.

She had become like a need for me, without her I just dint feel okay. How did she manage to do that to me?

I grabbed my phone, scrolled to her contact and debated with myself over calling her or not, but what would I say even if I called her? I had no work, nothing, I couldn't just call her randomly.

Damn you Arnav, just relax!

I threw my phone back on the bed, stood up and started pacing around the room trying to think of everything else and convince myself that I dint have to act so desperate and call her, she was going to come for the shoot tomorrow anyway, so I could see her then. Yes that sounded good.

I jumped back on my bed, wrapped myself with the blanket and put my phone aside making sure not to touch it, it was very tempting, I could be insane and call her.

Yup, what the hell was wrong with me?

Just count how many times I'd asked myself that question, over a thousand times I guess.

*****

The next morning I woke up early, let's just say I was impatient to see her, so I took a shower got ready and drove to work obviously taking the longest route just because I wanted to pass by her house and hopefully get to see a glimpse of hers even though I knew she was going to come for the shoot today.

This situation of mine reminded me of the song I heard last time playing on the radio, those lines clearly were perfect.

I searched the song on YouTube, connected the aux pin and listened to it while I drove by her house, people usually get irritated with traffics, I do too but today I was happy because I met with traffic just around her house and I dint want it to move at all.

So I sat in the traffic, looking towards her house, listening to the music, why were the lyrics so perfect for my situation? And why wouldn't she just come out, even for a second? Khushi, you had no idea how much I am trying to see you.

Let's call it my luck today, just while I was wishing she actually came out of her house, I could see her standing at the door talking with the security guard, and just seeing her made me feel at peace.

Once she was done talking to the guard, she headed back inside but I was happy now, I felt good and just then the cars in front of me moved too, so I drove to work.

It wasn't such a long drive though, by the time I arrived, Aman too had arrived and he was making all the arrangements for the shoot today, I couldn't wait for it because the two final shoots were going to be beautiful.

I couldn't wait for the last one though, it was going to be a shoot of all our bridal designs and I couldn't wait to see Khushi in them, she would look gorgeous!

"All set?" I asked as I walked in.

"Yeah, we are just getting everything set so when Khushi comes we start working, both the shoots we have remaining are going to be outdoor shoots so I'm just making sure everything is ready." Aman said, I nodded as I headed to the elevator that took me to my cabin leaving Aman to finish his work.

I settled down in my cabin, turned on my laptop and started doing some work as I knew Khushi wouldn't be here anytime soon yet, maybe after an hour or two and till then I had to do something to keep my mind of her.

She was like a drug to me, and slowly I seemed to be getting addicted to her.

*****

Surprisingly, I did manage to take my mind off her for a while and I did quite some work, that was until she showed up to my cabin after almost two hours since I arrived at work.

She knocked at the door and then walked in smiling, today she was dressed in a mini yellow dress, so bright but it made her look so beautiful, this girl could literally wear a potato sack and pull it off well, she was that gorgeous.

"Hey." She smiled as pulled out a chair and sat down placing her matching bag aside.

"Wow, you look gorgeous." I said as I continued looking at her in awe, did I just say that oud loud? Oh My God.

Relax Arnav, you dint say something terrible, it was a compliment, compliments are good. Arghh, why was I overthinking everything about her?

"Thank you, so do you." She smiled.

"Thank you. So are you ready for the shoot?" I asked trying to create a conversation, I just wanted to see her, talk to her and just be around her so I was asking stupid questions literally.

"Yeah Arnav, it's not my first time, why do you look so nervous today?" She giggled.

Did I look nervous? I had no idea, maybe that was because of her, she was making me feel a lot of things, maybe this was a part of it.

"I don't know." I laughed trying to play it cool, yeah way to go Arnav.

Anyway, our little conversation that hadn't even started much was disturbed by Aman who walked into my cabin to inform us that they were ready for the shoot so we needed to go to the location, as usual I suggested to drive Khushi there and she agreed, she had no idea how happy that made me.

We got into my car as I drove her to the location, she kept on staring at her phone silently and I dint like her silence I wanted to talk to her but I had nothing to talk about.

"What are you doing tonight?" She asked suddenly as she looked at me finally putting her phone aside.

"Nothing much, the usual." I shrugged.

"Would like to come with me to a party?" She asked.

"What party?" I looked at her curiously, I could literally go with her anywhere, she dint even have to ask she just had to tell me.

"There just some party, work related. I was to go with Aditya but now we've broken up and although we're trying to be friends, I just want to give him some space for a while and I don't want to go alone too so I thought, you could come alone." She bit her lower lip and when she did that, I wanted to kiss her so bad.

"Sure, as long as you don't mind the news that will come afterwards, are Arnav and Khushi together? Stuff." I laughed, I wished it was going to be true, I wished we could be together someday.

"Well I don't care much about the news, let people say what they want to." She smiled.

"Okay, then the party is on." I looked at her excitedly, I couldn't wait to go to this party and just be around her, it sounded so good.

I was acting like a teenager wasn't I?

Once we arrived at the location, we stepped out of the car, it was too windy out there and the wind literally ruined my hair and how I had combed it, I bent down and looked at the side mirror trying to adjust it, I dint want to look like a clown in front of her.

Once I was done, I looked up and found her staring at me with a smile on her face, I liked that she was staring me, did she find me good looking? I couldn't stop wondering what she was thinking while she was looking at me like that.

Okay Khushi, stop driving me crazy.

"So, let's go." I said as I walked towards her, she smiled as she stepped closer to me, lifted her hand up and rubbed it in my hair messing it up completely.

"You look better this way." She smiled as she turned around to walk, and all I could feel was the sensation I had in my body when she touched my hair.

I was going crazy!
