Chapter Nineteen

Arnav and Khushi both got ready to go out. After a day spent inside, the next night Arnav was going to take Khushi to a casino and Khushi couldn't wait. Arnav dressed up casually and Khushi wore a black dress. They headed out and Khushi loved the sight of all the lights shining.

"It's so beautiful," Khushi said, mesmerized by the lights.

"Not as beautiful as you," Arnav flirted.

Khushi blushed. "Do you ever control yourself?"

"Not around you."

They arrived to the casino and Khushi gazed.

"The place is huge."

"Uh huh. It's the biggest one around here."

Both entered and Khushi was mesmerized. "Look at all these people! It's like as if they're bees and they're buzzing."

Arnav smiled to her reference. They went over to a slot machine after getting a lot of quarters. Arnav explained it out to Khushi and Khushi tried and won some money.

"How about you try," Khushi said.

"It's okay. I know I'll win."

"Cocky much."

Arnav shook his head and sat in front of the slot machine beside her's. "I know I'll win because I have you."

Khushi raised and eyebrow. "Oh really?"

Arnav took a quarter and put it in and pulled down. The thing rolled and Arnav hit the jackpot. "Really."

Khushi's eyes widened. Not because of the number of quarters that came pouring out, but because of how much Arnav values her. She stood up and leaned in to him and gave him a kiss, placing her arms around his neck.

"I'm that special," Khushi asked, playing with his hair.

Arnav held her waist. "More than my life-"

"Ssh! Arnav don't say things like that."

"But it's true-"

"I don't care. I don't like it!"

Khushi turned away and crossed her arms, pouting. One of the workers from the casino came and had Arnav's prize money taken so it could be changed into bills. Once the guy left, Arnav got up and held Khushi around the waist and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry," he whispered into her neck.

"It's okay. So tell me, now what?"

Arnav looked up at her and she looked at him. "You'll see."

Arnav told the workers he'd be back and they said they would hold his money. Khushi wondered where Arnav was taking her and her question was answered.

"What the?" Khushi looked at all the people as they danced away and drank.

"This is the club."

He led her in and the music was loud.

"Why is it so loud," Khushi yelled.

"That's just how it is!"

Arnav led Khushi to the bar and they sat down. Arnav ordered a Pepsi for Khushi and a tequila shot for himself.

"What's that," Khushi asked.

"It's alcoholic."

"What? Arnav-"

The bartender came back with the tequila. The guy left and Khushi watched Arnav as he placed some salt on his hands and lick it and then took the entire shot.

He placed the shot cup down with a thud. "One more!"

The bartender nodded and Arnav looked at Khushi.

"Wow," Khushi said. "I want one!"

"But Khushi-"

"Don't 'but' me! I want one!"

"Okay… suit yourself."

Arnav cancelled the Pepsi order and ordered a tequila for her. The two shot cups were placed down and Khushi gulped.

"I've never had alcohol before," Khushi said.

"It'll be a bit rough as a beginner but you'll get the hang of it."

Arnav helped Khushi out on how to drink the tequila properly and then he took his shot. "Your turn."

Khushi gulped and licked some salt and took the shot, swinging her head back and gulped it down. She made a face and coughed a bit. "It tastes awful!"

"I know."

"I want another one."

Arnav smiled as ordered six more shots. The two gulped it down and Khushi took one of Arnav's.

"Hey!"

"Sucks for you," Khushi said. "More shots please," she yelled out.

Both had shots after shots and Arnav stopped and looked at Khushi. She had numerous of shot cups in front of her and she kept going.

"Khushi, slow down!"

Khushi had her last one and she exhaled. She hiccuped a bit and then smiled at Arnav. Clearly, from the look on her face, Arnav knew she was heavily drunk.

"Arnav, you're so cute," and she hiccuped.

"Khushi-"

"Ssh!" She placed get finger on his lips, pressing on it hard. "Don't speak. I'm not done yet. You're not just cute, you're sexy!"

Arnac just looked at her.

"Sexy people don't talk, they do things," and she winked at him, a sexy grin running across her face.

Arnav looked at her. She looked very sexy in the black dress. Her dress went with her shape and it was as if her body was yelling out "touch me Arnav! Touch me!"

Arnav was about to reach out for her but Khushi got up.

"Let's dance," Khushi said.

"What?"

"Let's. Dance."

Khushi grabbed Arnav's hand and she led him to the dance floor. Khushi placed her arms around his neck and she moved away to the beat, swaying her hips from side to side. Arnav was surprised from her actions but he soon got over and placed his hands on her hips and moved along with her.

The song ended and the song Main Sharabi from Cocktail played off.

"Ye ye
Yaaron mujh muaf karo
Yaaron mujh muaf karo
Main nashe me hoon
Badi haseen hai zulfon ki shyaam pee lije
Hamaare haath se do-chaar jaam pee lije
Pilaaye jab koi mashooq apne haathon se
Sharaab phir nahi rehti haraam pee lije

Chakko chakko chakko chakko
Chakko yaaro lal pari...
Aaj to jee lo aaj to jee lo
Kal ki hai kisko padi...

Sippin sippin sippin sippin Sippin yaaro lal pari
Aaj to jee lo aaj to jee lo Kal ki hai kisko padi...

Kismat meri jagado, Music thoda badha do
Ik patiyala aur pilado, Is party mein aag lagado
Kismat meri jagado, Music thoda badha do
Ik patiyala aur pilado, Is party mein aag lagado

Yes-yes i want it more, Aaj na chalega zor
Khulegi daaru machega shor
Aajao saare on the floor
Bas isi baat pe botal kholo
Kiye jo saare paap woh dholo
Aao mere saath me holo
Put your hand's up zor se bolo

Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi"

Khushi was shaking her head, her hair flying side to side, and she moved her body and Arnav was happy that she was enjoying herself.

"Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi

Chakko chakko chakko chakko
Chakko yaaro lal pari...
Aaj to jee lo aaj to jee lo
Kal ki hai kisko padi...

Sippin sippin sippin sippin
Sippin yaaro lal pari
Aaj to jee lo aaj to jee lo
Kal ki hai kisko padi...

Seena jalta hai, Peena padta hai
Dard ghat.Ta hai, Jaam chadhta hai
Meri aankhon me mehboob mera
Sharaab likhta hai, sharaab padhta hai
Tabhi toh

Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi"

Khushi was going crazy, moving side to side with no care at all, her hair hitting her face as she shook her head, jumping up and down. She had her back against Arnav as she continued to move.

She's out of control, Arnav said in his head, smiling.

"Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi

Sharaab peena agar basahoor hota hai
Sharaab peena bada bekasoor hota hai
Sharaab peene ka ye fayda niraala hai
Aam sa chehra bhi jannat ki hoor hota hai"

Khushi face Arnav and had her arms around his neck, moving on him.

"So lemme get you boots on fire
U wanna set this floor on fire
I am noticire
Come on baby let's go higher
Kudi kanwaari ho gayi jhalli
Nachi jaandi kalli kalli

Aao mere saath me holo
Put your hand's up zor se bolo"

Khushi let go of Arnav and went crazy.

"Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi

Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi
Main sharabi, main sharabi"

Khushi was feeling exhausted and she held onto Arnav, her head spinning a bit but she laughed.

"Khushi, you okay?"

"Oh yeah! I'm superb!"

Khushi felt a bit light headed and she nearly fell over but Arnav caught her.

"Sweetheart, are you sure?"

"Arnav I'm- I think I'm gonna be sick!"

"I was afraid of that."

Arnav helped Khushi to the ladies room and Khushi went in and puked. Arnav felt bad. Yeah, it happens when you drink that you tend to throw up, especially your first time, but he blamed himself for it.

Eventually Khushi came out and Arnav caressed her face.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine now but guess what?! I'm drunk," Khushi giggled hysterically.

"Let's go home."

"What?! No-"

"Khushi let's go."

"No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no!"

"Khushi-"

"No! I wanna go crazy tonight!"

Arnav leaned in very close to Khushi. "What was it that you said earlier? That, sexy people don't talk, but do things? Well, I'm going to do something to you if you come back to the hotel with me?"

"What will you do," Khushi asked like a five year old.

Arnav smirked a sexy smirk. "You'll see," and he took her hand and led her out of the club.
