TJL#14# She Is The One

Stubborn Girl

Noel's POV

" This is crazy. I won't do that. It's too early." I said to my sisters who were both eating my brain to make me confess to Diya.

" If you are late then you will lose her." Natalie said.

" I won't lose her, Natty. Who is going to let her go!!! Who?" I asked.

" Who?" Chase said and I chuckled.

" Chasie pie." Leonore said.

" Nola." Chase said and sticked his tongue out at her. I laughed. Kids are blessings.

" When are you going to tell her then?" Natasha asked.

" Not any soon. I will tell him when I think it's the right time to tell her that." I said.

" Stupid idea. I didn't like that." Natalie said.

" Yeah, we all know how long you took to confess." Natasha said to her twin.

" This why telling him not to do the same mistake." Natalie said.

" Mmm. mm.." Chase was trying to say that.

" Mistake, honey." Natasha said.

" No Mommy." He said smilingly.

" My baby." Natasha said and hugged him closely. I chuckled seeing both the Mom and son.

" I am not going to confess this early." I said." That's final. I don't want to rush things and end up messing everything." I said.

" Alright but don't take eternity to confess." Natasha said.

" I won't, relax you two." I said and both of them nodded their head. " But for now I need to know why she is avoiding me. I need to know it. This thing is eating my brain." I said and they nodded.

" Are you going to office?" Natalie asked me.

" Yes, going to office. Why?" I asked her.

" Just like that. Then go." She said.

" Ok, bye twins." I said hugging them. " Bye babies." I kissed Chase and Leonore's forehead then took my jacket and came out of the house. I reached my car but I saw Calvin standing there. Calvin is mom's driver.

" Good morning, Noel." He said to me.

" Good morning, Calvin. What are you doing here? " I asked him.

" Mrs. Axton said to me to drive you to office." He said.

" What?!! Why?" I asked him.

" She said you are not well. This why she forbade you to drive." He said and I sighed deeply hearing him.

" But I am fine. I can drive, Calvin. No worries." I said.

" But Noel, Mrs. Axton said you should come with me. It's kind of a request." He said. I shook my head helplessly. I can't say no to Mom. Never ever.

" Ok, I am coming." I said and opened the door then got in the car. He started to drive towards the office and I was a bit late today. I sighed and walked in the office building.

" Good morning, sir." People started to greet me. I just nodded and walked towards the lift. I found William there. He was my secretary.

" Good morning, sir." He said.

" Yeah, good morning." I said.

" How are you now, sir?" He asked me.

" I am fine." Said.

" Sir, the previous project has been finished." He informed me.

" How was it?" I asked.

" Quite profitable." He said.

" Hmm, good then. What about the deal? It has been finalized?" I asked.

" No, sir. They were asking about next week. If you are free to have a meeting with them." He said.

" Check my schedule and let me know. I will think about it and tell you if I want you to fix the meeting." I said.

" Yes, sir." He said. " Sir, what about Jennifer's project?" He asked me. At the same time the lift was opened.

" Check it and let me know." I said and came out of the lift my eyes widened when I almost bumped into Diya. I didn't saw her coming. I almost stepped on her feet. I quickly took a step back. Shit!!!

" Oh, Diya. I am sorry. I didn't see you coming. Are you ok?" I asked her softly touching her arm.

" I.. I am fine. Absolutely fine." She said shuttering. She was looking at me weirdly then dropped her gaze.

She was going to her cabin but I stopped her as I needed something from her. She stopped and looked at the me once then dropped her gaze again. She wasn't looking at me. I told her to come to my cabin with the file. I needed to talk with her. And we just couldn't talk there in the lobby.

I entered my cabin and went to my desk. I found the pending work. I decided to do them later. After a while I heard someone knocking on the door.

" Come in." I said and the next moment Diya entered the room.

" Sir, the files." She said to me without looking at me.

" Sit down, Diya." I said and she looked around weirdly.

" Come ahead and sit here." I said and pointed the visitors chairs." I didn't tell you to sit on the ground." I said to her totally frustrated. I was really frustrated with her weird behavior. She walked ahead slowly and sat in front of me.

" Sir." She said to me but eyes were fixed on her nails. She was not looking at me.

" Diya, I want to ask you something and please answer me honestly." I said and she nodded without looking at me. " At first please look at me. When you don't look at me while I am talking it makes me feel like I am talking with an object not a human. So, look at me when I am talking." I said and she nodded but didn't look up. " Look at me, Diya. Why aren't you looking at me? Did I do something wrong?" I asked and she looked up at me. I tried to find the and in her eyes but she looked away at once. I sighed. Is she mad with me!!!

" Diya, why are you avoiding me these days? What's wrong? Did I do something which I shouldn't do?" I asked her but she was silent. " Don't stay quiet. Say something." I said.

" I... I..." She was saying.

" Yes, I am listening." I said.

" I just.. just." She was shuttering.

" What's wrong?" I asked her. She wasn't like this.

" I just need my personal space too. I want to live my life in peace. Something was bothering me these days. I wanted to decide what is best for me. And now I know what's best for me." She said.

" And avoiding me is the best thing for you?" I asked her and was shocked.

" May be." She said looking at me and I looked at her with widened eyes.

" May be?!!" I asked.

" Yes, it is the best thing for both of us to have a peaceful life." She said and it sliced my heart. It really did.

" And what wrong have I done?" I asked her.

" Just don't know. But I am not like others. I don't want to be like them. I am fine with myself staying away from you." She said and I looked at her but she looked away. I kept looking at her with my bleeding heart.

" Alright. If you want that let's do it and let's see how long we can hold back." I said. " You can go back to your cabin." I said and she walked out.

If you are stubborn, I am the most obstinate person you have ever met. You can't win over me, you stubborn girl.
