Andrew

Divya stood there talking to my father and Madeline for the last 5 minutes while I stood still and quietly looked around. I couldn't leave the spot because of 2 reasons, Divya is holding my hand, and the second one being I didn't want to leave her alone with my father. 

When will this stupid interaction end, I groaned in frustration earning glares from Divya.

"Hello Sir, Hello Madeline," said my savior, Jameson coming towards us with Amaya giving a look that said I-got-you-man.

Looking at him just gave me a sense of relief.

Jameson is in a black suit and Amaya is wearing a black sequin gown holding a silver clutch, looking as uncomfortable as ever. 

They are looking like a power couple. I can tell her by her looks that Jameson made her get ready like this.

"Hello! Jameson and Amy, My favorite couple." My dad grinned and gave Jameson a hug.

Jameson gets a hug, but all I get is a snide remark.

"Hello Theo, Madeline you look a million bucks. And look at my beautiful cousin shining like a freaking full moon." Amaya said to them and pulled Divya to her side away from me. 

Jameson gave them a small smile looking at Amaya blabbering with Divya:

Jameson and Amaya are two people you never imagined together. Amaya is loud-mouthed, free-spirited, and clumsy as fuck on the other hand Jameson is uptight, always reserved, and really serious. They are a bizarre combination of fries and Vanilla Milkshake but so good together.

"Congratulations on the new branch!" My father told Jameson handing him a drink.

That new branch is mine too, why couldn't he say that to me?

"It's all Andrew sir, I was busy with other work," Jameson told my father and he looked at me with an awkward tight-lipped smile.

Amaya looked at me and my father, my best friend knew I was hurt by my father's actions. So, she saved me with her words making everyone go away.

"I don't want to talk to guys anymore. We can talk later at home, let's go mingle. I saw Avicii and so many people on the way here. I'm so excited to meet them. Scatter people! Shoo! Shoo!" She said with excitement and giggling like a little girl.

Everyone laughed at her words, and bid each other byes.

Father and Madeline left to talk to others.

"Maya! Please don't get a restraining order from anyone and come back fast." Jameson pleaded and gave her a small peck on the lips.

And as usual, she ignored his words pulling Divya along with her vanishing into the crowd.

"I wish I had a drink and forget whatever happened!" I told Jameson with a sigh.

"He didn't know man, you should forgive him. The more you carry it with you the more it hurts."

"This Amaya is going to be the death of me." He said looking for her through the crowd as we heard her shriek. 

Jameson went to look for her and I had to interact with all the others at the party.

I met all my previous co-workers, and some business associates with my eyes on Divya who talked to Paul Walker, Avicii, Vince and so many other people from the fast and furious franchise. Maybe she likes those movies too much.

"I saw the news, great achievements, Your mom would've been so proud of the man you've become. " Uncle Patrick said patting my back with pride.

Uncle Patrick is a 55-year-old man, He and my mom acted in so many movies together, and he is the sweetest of all.

I heard Divya's laugh turning my mind away from him. I looked at her and Amaya, who are now talking to a young TV show actor named Mitchell and so many other guys.

"She looks beautiful! The one in that white and red dress? Moira would've liked her."

He thinks my mom would've liked Divya. 

"Go to her before someone else sweeps her off her feat. I hear Mitch is quite the charmer" Uncle Patrick told me looking at her over my shoulder.

"It's not that easy Uncle!"

"Go to her and ask for a Dance young man. Life is too small to be scared of. " Saying that he pushed me forward.

Uncle Patrick is a go-getter, and he always pushed me to do whatever I want.

As I was walking through the crowd to reach Divya, I found Jameson coming in the same direction with jealousy blinding his eyes as one of Mitch's friends has his hands on Amaya's shoulders. At the speed he is going, I can see him punching the life out of that guy.

"James! Don't let me go get her." I stopped him before he could reach her and made him sit at the nearest table.

I walked to Divya and Amaya who are laughing like there is no tomorrow with these stupid boys.

"Mr. Jones! Thank you for inviting me." Mitchell guy said to me and I gave him a curt nod and a thin smile wishing he didn't come here at all.

"Amy! Your husband wants you." I told her stressing the word husband, as soon as Mitchell's friend heard husband he took his hand off her and stepped back.

"Oh shit! I am doomed. Sorry guys I have to leave." She yelled looking at Jameson and giving the others a sheepish smile.

"Keep Divya away from Mr. Doctor, he has been flirting with her non-stop," Amaya whispered in my ear and left.

That's the show Mitchell acts in Mr. Doctor, now I remember.

"Divya, Let's go," I told her and she looks confused at my words and gave me a question mark face.

"Maybe she doesn't want to go, Mr. Jones," Mitchell told him with an egotistical smile playing on his face.

I wish I could just punch him in the face and make him stop talking.

"She is my date, I suggest you better keep your hands off her. You don't want any problems in this new career of yours do you?" I whispered leaning closer to him and making his face blue.

Divya is not a new toy for him to play with, not with me in the picture for sure.

"Join me for a dance Divya!" I pleaded with her nicely with my eyes and gave her my hand to follow me.

She looked back and forth between me and Mitchell and placed her hand in mine. I looked at the dance floor and saw Jameson and Amaya dancing together with no gap between them, looks like they made up already.

The DJ started playing All of Me by John Legend.

What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out?
You've got my head spinning, no kidding
I can't pin you down

I took her hand and stepped onto the dance floor. I held her by the waist and pulled her close to my chest, and she wrapped her arms around my neck. Her fascinating brown eyes seething at me.

What's going on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me
But I'll be alright

I kept staring at her, not knowing how to dissolve her anger.  I felt jealousy looking at you with him Divya, I can't lose you to another man. It pains my heart to see you walking away from me.

My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy, and I'm out of my mind

She began to take her hand away from my neck to push away the few strands of hair blocking her eyes but I clutched on to her soft, delicate hand and laid it back on my shoulder. I gently pushed her hair back revealing her eyes which no longer showed anger, they were twinkling like a small light in a dark room, the same twinkle which appears when she looks at Amar.

'Cause all of me loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose, I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

I had this uncontrollable urge to comfort her pass through my body as her eyes glistened with tears. My hand brushed across her cheek touching the teardrop falling from her eye.

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too.
The world is beating you down
I'm around through every mood

Her eyes softened at my gesture and she leaned in closer, the warmth between us grew vigorously by the second along with my heartbeat. I was falling in love all over again with her.

Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

She set her head on my shoulder as we continued to dance, lost in the music. Time passed as we moved together. Our breaths, our movements, and our heartbeats, everything were in Sync. It felt perfect having her by me, Nothing else seemed to matter anymore. It was just me and Divya. I closed my eyes enjoying the touch of her.

'Cause all of me loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose, I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

A loud shrill of claps erupted in the room making me open my eyes and bringing me back into reality. I looked at Divya as she bought her head up and opened her eyes sleepily smiling at me. I can see how perfect she truly is, she has always been the one for me.

She took her arms off me making me miss the warmth, but I couldn't let her go. So I held her hand and walked out of the dance floor and sat down with her to calm my racing heart.

"Looks like Amy and Jameson left," Divya said looking around the room and her eyes stopped at Mitch who immediately looked away, reminding me of the apology I had to make.

"I'm sorry for forcing you away from Mitchell."

"You better be! He is a doctor and we were talking about some surgeries he did." She said with a serious look making me smile at her innocence.

"He is not a doctor Divya. He acts as a doctor in the show Mr. Doctor." I told her and she opened her mouth wide in shock at my answer.

"But..but... He knew all the medical terms. How can I be so stupid? That's why everyone was calling him Mr.Doctor. It all makes sense now." She told herself nodding her head.

She is so innocent, my pure soul.

"Do you wanna go home?" I asked her and she said yes.

Now we are in the limousine going back home in peace after a long day.

"I got autographs from so many people today. I had fun, thank you for bringing me here." She told me looking through the window and enjoying the cold breeze passing through her face.

Happiness is so amazing, It doesn't matter if it's yours or not, it just makes you smile. That's what I've been doing from the minute we sat in this car, and I am enjoying Divya's happiness.

"You will get sick Divya! It's cold out." I told her and rolled the window back up.

"You are so mean, let me enjoy." She pouted looking at me.

This girl makes me crazy, she doesn't look like the Divya I met in India, she is stronger, and happier and most of all she seems to enjoy her life more now.

Her face is all red and she was shivering with cold. I unbuttoned my jacket and wrapped it around her arms to make her warm. She clutched my arm for warmth shivering, so I scooted closer and wrapped my arms around her.

Today was the best day ever, I would like to live forever like this with her.

A really small chapter I know.
