Chapter 23

Angad and Kripa break the kiss unwillingly and breathlessly. Angad softly mumbles, "We should head back" while getting up. Kripa simply nods in agreement. They both can't seem to make eye contact because they both feel slightly awkward. The kiss, feels right to Kripa for some reason, she feels embarrassed that she responded back so passionately, but doesn't feel guilty about it. Angad just grins on the inside. Oh how he loves to kiss her, he can do it all day long. The whole drive back home is quiet. Kripa looks out the window trying to keep her blushing to a minimum and it is quite a challenge for her. Angad glances at Kripa several times during the drive, just happy that he has her thinking about him. He loves knowing she is thinking about him, sure that was cocky of him, but he loves the girl to death. She has been doing that a lot lately, being lost in her own thoughts about him. He is mentally patting himself on the back for a job well done, but hopes she isn't going to be all weird and edgy with him after their second kiss.

Finally they get to the Khanna House at around 11 p.m. and see that the couples Neev-Prachi and Kavya-Anjali are bringing their sleeping bags downstairs to have a massive sleepover in the living room. The maids, butlers, and cooks have left already and now Neev-Prachi and Kavya-Anjali are in lovey dovey mode, while Angad and Kripa are lost in their thoughts, or dreamland. The couples don't seem to notice Angad or Kripa. Neev then exclaims, "Lets play spin the bottle!!" Everyone yells, "NOOOO!!!" Angad and Kripa the loudest of course, which goes without explanation. Kripa and Angad look at each other with guilt, while Kavya, Anjali and Prachi pummel Neev with pillows.  

Neev then says, "Okay okay, geez it was just a suggestion, fine you guys come up with something!!" Prachi opens her mouth to say something, but gets interrupted by Neev saying, "NO PRACHI NOT ANTAKSHARI!!!!" Prachi yells, "IDIOT, pehle bolne toh doh you duffer!! I was gonna say let's watch Music and Lyrics!" Everyone agrees except Angad who then starts complaining, "DUDE THAT'S A CHICK FLICK! IM NOT WATCHING THAT!! WHEN DID KAVYA AND NEEV BECOME SO WHIPPED AND GIRLY…" Angad gets smacked with a pillow on his head by Kripa. Angad stands there in utter shock because Kripa has barely acknowledged Angad's presence since their kiss and now she's smacking him upside his head. She had been totally lost for like ten minutes straight since they got home and now she hits him. Everyone else keeps encouraging Kripa to keep smacking Angad with the pillow. Finally she gives up getting tired and Kavya yells, "You're an idiot Angad, you'll know when you get a girlfriend" Angad and Kripa slowly look at each other and then notice the other looking and abruptly turn away.

They finish up setting up their beds next to each other in the living room with Prachi, Neev, Anjali, Kavya, Kripa, Angad. They all sit down on the floor in the same order as well. Prachi is leaning onto Neev's shoulder, while Anjali leans onto Kavya's body, with his arms encircling her. Angad and Kripa look over at their siblings and then look uncomfortably at each other. Angad tilts his head near Kripa's ear and whispers, "You're not gonna be awkward with me now right, I mean we are okay na?" Kripa replies, "Mhmm, lets just let it slide AGAIN okay best friend! BUT YOU gotta stop doing that" Angad turns to Kripa, "I gotta stop doing that??? If I remember correctly it was YOU who pounced on me the first time!" Kripa blushes and looks down, "Oh yea… ok umm WE gotta stop doing that" Angad smirks, "Agreed, but it can't be helped, hormones you see! ...But don't tell me you didn't like it! " Kripa blushes even deeper if that is possible and looks away. Angad puts his arm around her while places her head on his shoulder trying to push her uneasiness aside and convince him and her own self that she isn't THAT affected by his kiss, but she is and both of them know it. Kripa falls asleep quickly through the movie while Angad just sits and stares at her cute expressions.

While watching the movie, Kavya keeps whispering sweet nothings into Anjali's ear. Kavya loves having Anjali so close to him. He hugs her tighter. Anjali whispers, "Kavya I'm not going anywhere! You're acting like I am going to run away as soon as you let go of me!" Kavya replies, "I like having you close to me! So stop complaining or else I'm going to kiss you in front of everyone!" Anjali wags her finger at Kavya, "Tsk Tsk, Are you threatening Anjali Khanna!" Kavya replies sweetly, "It's not a threat honey it's a promise!" and winks at her, while Anjali blushes.

Neev is also trying to flirt with Prachi, however she is really into the movie. Neev keeps whispering stuff to Prachi while she places her hand on his mouth to prevent him from saying anything while she watches so intently. Neev is just dumbfounded how Prachi is reacting to a silly romantic movie. She thinks the movie is really cute and adorable. Neev brings down her hand from his mouth and says, "Prachi what are you doing, is stupid movie ke liye you'rs ignoring me! HMPH!" Prachi doesn't really pay attention to Neev's complaining and continues watching. When the movie ends she notices him upset and gives him a big kiss on his cheek, making him blush and forget his anger.

After the movie has ended, Angad puts Kripa in her sleeping bag and Anjali and Prachi go get ready for bed. Kavya and Neev approach Angad who is in the kitchen and ask, "Angad what's going on with you and Kripa?" Angad gets surprised with the question and says weirdly, "Uhh…umm what do you mean?" Neev says, "Well did you tell Kripa you love her!"  Angad replies, "No, because I know right now she doesn't feel the same way, or at least she doesn't know she's in love with me… but I can see it, the love in her eyes. I'm sure she does love me, but until she knows herself, I'm not going to tell her." Kavya asks, "Okay, but if you need help we are always there!" Angad pats both their backs and says, "Thanks man, I know you guys are always there!" They all make their way back to the living room and find all the girls asleep. The boys get in their sleeping bags and within minutes they are all asleep as well.

When the guys are in deep sleep, the girls all slowly get up in the middle of the night and tip toe out of the room, making sure not to wake up the boys at any cost. If the boys woke up it meant total destruction of their plan. The girls make their way upstairs and go into the bathroom taking some shaving cream cans with them. They come back to the living room and spray it on the palms of their hands, which are carelessly lying on to the side. Kripa stops to admire Angad's innocent face until she hears Anjali whisper quietly, "I…2…3!" They take some tissue and start tickling the boys' face with it. The boys feel like something is crawling on them and all at once smack their face with their lathered up hand. The boys slowly realize what they just did and all get up with a start and notice though their blurred vision, three girls rolling around on the floor clutching their stomachs in attempts to stop laughing. The girls know the guys aren't too happy about having shaving cream on their face in the middle of the night. The girls know this even though they can't properly make out any of their facial expressions. The girls then take off in all directions throwing pillows and dropping chairs in the process of trying to get the guys off their tails. The boys are stumbling after the girls.

 **********

Neev while running grabs Prachi's dupatta, making her come to a halt. She lets go of her dupatta and tries to run, only Neev pins her to the wall. Prachi starts breathing rapidly, she feels his powerful gaze on her as she shuts her eyes, scared to know what will happen next. He takes her dupatta and wipes his face clean with it. Neev then notices Prachi looking quite scared at the moment. He looks at her adorable face and pecks her cheek and leaves, while Prachi clutches her cheek as the color rises in them. Then she notices her dirty dupatta and starts chasing Neev around the house, for ruining her clothes.

**********

Kavya runs after Anjali pulls her on the ground. Anjali starts struggling in his grip as he leans over her. He moves closer to her face, while she closes her eyes. Kavya smirks and moves down her body, stopping at her stomach. He gently moves his face over her shirt, wiping his face off completely with her shirt. She feels so nervous, yet his movement seems to stimulate Anjali. He holds down her hands and then looks up at her face and notices the pleasure she got from his closeness. He smirks and walks off, while Anjali lays there with her eyes closed like a buffoon, expecting a kiss.

 **********

Angad is chasing Kripa all over the house, running into his bedroom, while Kripa throws his pillow on him hoping around on the bed. Angad pulls at her leg causing her to fall. He gets on top of her and panic arises in Kripa as she sees him so close. He goes closer and closer to her face and then rubs the shaving cream all over her. He smiles looking at her face, while she just lays there shocked as he walks into the bathroom.

**********

All the girls get cleaned up and changed and get back into bed, not before checking for traps there as well. You never know with boys, what they will do to get back at them, so it's always better to check, which is what the girls thought anyways. But it is all clear. Finally they all fall asleep, with another day of fun filled day without parents awaiting them.
