I can't believe I am witnessing this moment. Jason, our Jason describing a girl like a lovesick poet. I told Xandar that this must be about a girl but he wasn't ready to accept it.
We both decided to get him drunk and ask about this matter. We always go to the same pub and the same bartender serves our drinks. So it wasn't difficult to make his shots stronger than ours. We succeeded in our plan, but never imagined Jason describing the girl in such a manner. We both were beyond shock.
"Fuck, he passed out without telling her name." Xandar cussed frustratingly and took a shot.
"But, why is he so angry?" He asked as Jason was angry the whole time in office.
"He is too afraid to get attached to her," I answered his question. Idiot, don't be afraid to threaten shareholders but afraid to get attached. Right now, I want to beat him hard.
"But it is very clear that he is attracted to her," Xandar muttered at himself. We picked him up with our shoulders and put him in the car. I was driving and Xandar sat back with him. After few minutes, Jason moved. His eyes were slightly open.
"Jason, who is she?" Xandar asked again hoping he would tell. He was shaking Jason constantly.
"She is an enchantress." He muttered in still closed eyes. Xandar's face fall hearing his answer. I was too hoping the name from him.
"GODDD! I am going to kill you, Jason. STOP." Xandar yelled at him. He is frustrated now. I just can't control my laughter and burst. He is wasted. I am having fun watching both of them like this.
"Yaaa, stop. I need to stop thinking about her. You know Xandar, how do you do that?" He asked in a tipsy way. We both suddenly shut our mouths. Stunned by his question. We don't know what and how to answer his question.
"Why don't you go after her?" I asked as if that was confusing. If he likes some girl, then he should approach her. What's stopping him?
"Am I going mad to chase her? To invite distraction and turbulence in my life? She is too far from me. I don't like this feeling man." He told us with sadden face while pulling his tie. This is the first time Jason ever talked about his feelings, such situations are not familiar to him, which makes us more worried about him. He is afraid to fall for her, not happy about his feelings.
"Something is wrong with her." we both laughed loudly hearing that, Jason's head can work like this too. Nothing is wrong with her; it's you something wrong with.
"What are we going to do now Alex, dumbass don't even tell us the name of a girl. Just complimenting her nonstop. It's even weird to hear it from him." Xandar signed and turned towards me as Jason went into a deep sleep.
After a 15 min drive, we reached his penthouse and we made him sleep in the bed. Xandar put some painkillers on the table with glass and was about to leave Jason stirred and he was mumbling something. I bent over, as I was so much curious about her, and tried to listen to his mumbling hoping to hear her name and his words kept me surprised. I abruptly stood up.
"Did he say something?" Xandar asked looking me alarmed while approaching. I nodded.
"What?" he bent at from the other side of the bed to hear.
"Pavi" Now it's Xandar's time to freeze.
"Wow" is the only word I was able to manage. Don't forget, Jason doesn't want to feel the feeling he has for Pavi and we don't know about Pavi. She is in India, remember. I know Jason is never going to accept that he has feelings for a girl. He considers this feeling as a liability in his life. But he needs to understand that when it comes to matters of the heart no rules apply. He can't control his feelings.
We left his penthouse with a feeling of little happiness. His heart started to thump for someone even without realizing him. He considers this as only physical attraction, also we felt sad that he doesn't want this. He is struggling to control what no one can control. His brain only considers this as a distraction and sees it as a liability in his life.
Jason
Bright sunlight peeping from the corner of the curtain edge woke me up, I was in my bedroom with a full suit, then I started remembering that I was with friends in a pub and discussing a project and then everything went blurry. Why do I have to drink so much? My head is pounding. I saw a glass of water and some painkillers, it must be them. I looked at my phone after taking painkillers and there was a message from Will saying that my morning schedule is canceled by order of Xandar and they are going to handle my meeting. He also reminds me of lunch with dad. I looked at the time; it was nearly 11 am and lunch was at noon. I need to hurry or I will get late for that.
I went into the bathroom and quickly got ready. I need my coffee but I will get late. I went towards the car and started driving. Ron is security in charge and always preferred me to carry the driver, but I always refused. I like to drive a car myself. My phone rings loudly making my head pound bitterly. I put it on speaker.
"How are you feeling?" Alex called me. He sounded happy making me suspicious for no reason.
"I need a coffee, but I am a bit better than before. What happened the night before?" he smirked on phone. The headache didn't stop but subsided a lot. The shower helped a lot.
"Don't you remember anything?" he was curious a lot for some reason. He is beaming, out of nowhere.
"I only remember that we were discussing a project and wait, you bastard, you both deliberately made me drunk right? Wait, I am going to kill you guys myself." I growled at him. I am now sure that these nutshells made me drunk for some extraction of information as I wasn't talking to them from that stuff.
"Hey, you don't remember anything?" he mused but I know how much he is dancing in his mind right now.
"Ya, why? Have I said something that I should not say? Tell me what you get? " My head is pounding very badly; I need an urgent coffee so I parked my car and went to a coffee shop nearby. I continued to talk to him. He was silent for some time.
"If you don't want to get beaten after lunch, and then tell me?" I warned him. I reached the coffee shop and ordered black coffee and waited for it.
"It was Xandar's plan, I swear, and more than that we were worried about you, Jason." He faked his pleas as I very well know that who's plane that can be.
"What do you get from me?" I was so adamant. I need to know what I said.
"Ok, you were talking about some girl, girl, yaa. Why haven't you told us before you idiot? We have helped you." He burped out. Shit. Now, I am the culprit and he started shouting at me on the phone. That bastard. Only these two monkeys have that nerve to shout at me.
"Looks like I didn't spell the name." I speculated indirectly, as he said some girl, not Pavi. It's a good sign. He was quiet for a moment and started laughing histrionically even struggling to breathe. What's wrong with him?
"Whenever Xandar asked you who she is? You started complimenting her nonstop." He teased, I am deep shit. Have I done something like that? I don't think so. Well, I was drunk at that time, I can't guaranty anything.
"That's embarrassing, shut up." I snapped at him on the phone as his laughter was didn't die.
"No, it was fun. Xandar was about to throw you out of the car, after your reply." He jeered.
"Don't tell me. What I said please." I requested but he is not going to stop here. Even I have to survive Xandar. He is ten times more than Alex.
"It's three times we've asked your name. The first time you kept us shocked for the whole moment. You were describing her as a poet. Her eyes, her hair, her lips, etc." I can't believe I said something like that. Come on Jason, they are exaggerating a lot.
"You were also drunk buddy don't lie." I mocked him but it didn't have any effect on him but his energy level increased.
"No, I am not lying. The second time when he asked you said she is an enchantress, my god Jason. You lost it and the third time you called her siren. You seriously like her a lot ha. Now, tell me your name." He demanded the name of Pavi. I drank my coffee and was walking towards my car.
"Her name is Angelina Jolie. Don't ask anything further and erase that from your mind." I scoffed and he chuckled at me. Someone was shouting very loudly on the road.
"Mr., MOVE." I stopped on my track as I heard a girl yelling. I raised my head from my coffee mug to look at her, but before that she pushed so strongly that we both fell on the road. My heartbeat suddenly increased. I don't know what is happening around me. She was frightened. I can feel her raced heartbeat, her chest is pressed on mine and she clutched my jacket tightly like her life is depending on it. My head is buried in her neck and her long hair is covering my face completely. She took a moment to breathe and tried to stand up but failed, she again tried and failed this time also. Then I understand that my hands are wrapped around her waist tightly.
"Your hands, Mr." She breathed and I froze. Her voice. How is it even possible? She got up when I released her from my embrace. As soon as she got up she started scolding me. Am I imagining things? She is here, in front of me. Pavi. Talking to me looking in my eyes. She is talking continuously but I am not sure that she is here or not. She was wearing a full white dress and open hair. She is looking gorgeous as always.
To make sure she is real, my hand involuntarily rises toward her cheeks to feel her but she holds my hand in his hand, and looking wide-eyed with that she said something and started walking towards a nearby cab and went. Is she even real? What is happening with me? Then I look around and people are looking at me and one old man comes forward.
"Take care, dear. You weren't paying attention to the road while crossing, that girl saved you. If you are not getting anything because you look baffled. " he patted my back and headed towards the nearby shop. Quickly I nodded and left. She was real. She is here in New York. God, why am I like this? I let her leave again. My phone roared.
"What is happening there Jason. That sound of a vehicle, shouting of a girl. Damn it talk you, idiot". I can tell he is scared.
"I am fine Alex, relax. Girl saved me from an accident. I am going for lunch now bye." Without listening I hung up the call. I got in my car and drove towards the restaurant. As I reached there, dad wasn't there. One lady escorted me towards my table. Finally, I ordered nice red wine and waited for dad.
Pavi
I woke up to the harsh sound of my alarm. It was 8 in the morning; there was nothing on my agenda today except lunch and reporting to University. After getting ready and having breakfast I watched some movies. I called home and talked with my family. I also called my friend Shravani. She is upset because of my sudden departure. She knew about University but she never took it seriously. I got up and got ready. James' uncle wanted me to have a driver and car but I refused. I don't know how to drive and besides I can take a cab right away.
Beautiful weather was out there so I decided to take a walk for some distance and then a cab. It is so different from my country. Looking here and there I was walking. I saw one guitar player playing on the road. It was a nice song.
I heard someone screeching looking at the road. A man was crossing the road, he was on call. A car is racing towards him. My legs automatically ran toward him. He was wearing a black suit tried to tell him to move. But he won't. I pushed as strongly as I could. We fell on the side of the road.
My heart is pounding in my chest due to running. I waited a moment to take in the air and tried to get up but failed. I realized that his hands were around me. Abruptly I used force and got up and he did too. He is a very handsome man. I remembered what he did and my anger rose, and I started shouting at him.
"Where were you looking at, crossing the road without paying attention? Are you a 5 year that you needed instructions before ha?"
He didn't move or speak, just staring at me with questions in his eyes. He didn't even notice that his stunt drew a lot of attention.
"You like to trouble your loved ones ha. Next time don't use your phone while crossing. Take care." He raised his hand towards my face. I noticed by grabbing his hand that there was 11.45 am on his watch. I was going to be late. I left him there and hail a cab.
