《SS Arshi:The bet》part 4
Advertisement
Arnav just burst out laughing. She just glared at him. One of his eyebrows arched in challenge at her glare. But his eyes danced with mischief. Amazingly, she just gave him one of her looks and went to the wardrobe to get her self a shorts and a tee.
"I'll order take out. Chinese good for you" he announced.
"You just read my mind"
After a few minutes he was behind her pulling her close.
Khushi grinned. His strong arms surrounded her. As they waited for their food, they sat comfortably on her bed whispering sweet nothing's to each other.
Before she could ask what he had ordered, a knock sounded on the door. "I guess the food has arrived"
"Did you order the entire menu? There is too much food in here" she asked incredulously
"I was hungry" He sat down and pulled her onto to his lap.
He took the stir fry from the carton and started feeding her. As she took a bite from the fork his other hand was slowly caressed her back. By the time they were done with the food it was too late for arnav to leave/
The sound of her mobile ringing drewng khushi from a warm half sleep on top of arnav's chest.
God, what was it about phone and tonight. Khushi looked at the clock and it was half passed two in the morning. Din't late night calls always deliver bad news? Her heart was hammering at the thought of someone being hurt in her family. She crawled across arnav and grabbed her mobile.
Khushii frowned as she looked at the caller id. She punched the talk button, "This is khushii, here"
"Khushi" a voice whispered. "It's lavnaya"
Lavanya? Why was she calling at this hour? She turned away from arnav. "Hi, lavnaya. What is wrong?"

"Nothing. I just…."
Khushi wasn't sure what was going on. From the few conversations she'd had with lavanaya she knew that the groupie knew a lot of things that was happening between the players.
Khushi, I need to tell you something. Something really big. This could hurt some of the players" she said.
Khushii was not into getting information about the team from groupies like lavanya but something told her to listen to what this girl was telling her.
"Okay! Why don't we meet in the morning and we can talk" khushi said buying time to put her thoughts together.
"No! Tonight!" her voice held conviction and there was a stubborn sound to it.
"o.k..Name the place" After getting directions and noting down the place she threw the pen down and replaced her cell. She hurriedly went to her wardrobe to change.
"Meeting someone in the middle of the night is very dangerous"
Khushi found arnav already standing up and getting dressed. He stared at her. "you are meeting lavanya in the middle of the night to get story"
"No. Not a story. I am going to listen to what she has to say before I print anything" she said evenly.
He crossed his arms and his stance was aggressive. "Groupies are trouble and lavanya is a bigger trouble"
"Lavanya is nice"
"Khushi, lavanyaa is trouble. Walk away from this"
"I can't do that. I have to give her a fair chance and listen to what she has to say"
"You can't or you won't do it"
"Arnav….."
"If you post anything without any backing you will not get any interview from any of the team members" arnav said
"Are you threatening me?"
"No! Saying as it is"
Khushii looked at him."O.K. Here's a compromise. Why don't you drive me to meet up with her? And I will talk and you can have a seat close by" she said placating him.
He din't even respond. He dressed himself and walked towards the door. Khushi was starring at him.
He opened the door and glanced back at her. "Are you coming or not?" he said with a smile

Let me ask you a question. Did you ever play a game so passionately, that you were able to play it for hours and hours, without even noticing how the time passed by? And then imagine being stuck… But you’re not only stuck because you can’t get any further, but you are also stuck because you can’t get out anymore This is the story of gamers, or should I say brave swordsmen who fought to clear the game, to beat the boss, to be alive. This is the story of a game, the story of… The Age of Swordsmen *************************************************** A guaranteed chapter every Monday + out of schedule chapters when I feel like it :pAuthor's Note: First Novel I ever published here. May remind some of SAO, but yeah... It actually isn't really like SAO at all. I would appreciate any corrections of grammar/spelling errors since I'm not a native English speaker. In addition to that, this is a 'First Draft', so I may edit a few things in old chapters when I feel like it.

Veiled
Sixteen-year-old Desirae Cradle knows how to survive in the human world, but knowing and doing are two different things. Until her mother disappeared under questionable circumstances, Desirae lived as part of a magical community kept secret from humans for more than 4,000 years. But not all of Desirae's people live on Earth. Some live in the Otherworld, exiled there after an ancient war. They are known as the Faye and still seek a way back to Earth. With feelings of abandonment, and no other family among her kind, Desirae makes her way in the human world using the only skill she has-knowing how to cross between Earth and Otherworld. But when a crossing goes bad, Desirae has to do something she swore she never would - go back home. Determined to not only fix her mistake but to mend old friendships, Desirae returns to the community she abandoned. But the Faye are after more than she thought.
