Chapter Eleven
"Khushi! How much longer," Arnav whined.
"Arnav, at least let me change!"
They were in the dressing room, Khushi changing back into her clothes. Arnav was getting tired from all this and just wanted to go home.
"Khushi," he whined again.
"Arnav," she mimicked him.
"Not funny."
Khushi rolled her eyes and fixed her hair. "Okay. Let's go."
She returned the stuff she didn't want and they paid. They got outside and Khushi's stomach grumbled.
Arnav laughed. "Was that you?"
Khushi's face flushed from embarrassment.
"It's okay wifey. Let's go eat. I'm also hungry."
His stomach grumbled as well, agreeing with his statement. Khushi laughed as well, Arnav feeling a bit embarrassed himself. Arnav took Khushi's hand in his, sliding his fingers within hers, and they crossed the street, walking down a bit, and went inside KFC. They also had a Haagen Daz, as well as a Nathan's in there. They walked to the back and Arnav ordered their food. After waiting a bit they got their food and found an empty table, which was very rare since there were always people there. The two sat down and had their food, talking away.
After lunch, there was one more place Khushi wanted to go to, but wasn't positive about going.
"Khushi? What's wrong?"
"Well…."
"Well…?"
"Um… there's actually… somewhere else… I need to go?"
"Well I've got my energy back, so where to?"
"Um…."
"Yeah?"
"Uh…."
"Khushi?"
"Um, well… uh…."
He held her hand. "Tell me sweetheart."
Khushi's heart fluttered. "Uh, well, um… Victoria's Secret," she said guiltily.
Arnav blinked. "Victoria's Secret?"
Khushi gulped and nodded.
"Um, okay? I don't see a big deal out of it."
Khushi blinked, taken aback. "It is a very big deal."
"Why?"
"Arnav, do you know what's in Victoria's Secret?"
"Yes," he said, as a matter of fact.
"Then?!"
"Then?"
Khushi groaned.
"Khushi, I don't see the big deal in this. It's just a store and unless…." Arnav figured it out. "Unless… this is the first time you're taking a guy there."
Khushi looked away.
"That is the reason. You feel embarrassed because you're taking a guy with you."
"It's not that I feel embarrassed. It's because…."
"Because?"
"I mean that place… it's… it's…."
"It's what?"
"I don't know!"
"Khushi relax. We'll go in, get your stuff, pay, and get out."
"Um… I guess?"
Arnav held her hand and led her across the street. He held the door for her and they went in.
