Yash's POV
How to make a girl fall in love with you? I uttered. making Kayla's head turn my way with a smirk on her face.
Damn, she heard me. I cursed under my breath.
''Oh Yash, why search it online when you can confide in to me.'' She moans as if I just betrayed her.
''Okay, stop acting. Say it.'' Soon her smirk grows wider resulting in me getting more annoyed.
''It's like what they said: Love turns a woman foolish. But I guess you're already an imbecile when we met, getting your car stolen by that b-''
''Okay! that's enough, I thought you're gonna give me some stupid advice but instead, you tell me trivial things in the past.'' I sigh heavily, I admit the words that Aleena said to me that day made me anxious, nervous.
Why? Because for the first time I have to make a woman fall in love with me by courting her not in bed.
''I guess she wants to test your patience or your so-called 'love' for her.'' My best friend comments as she sips her coffee.
''But I do love her.''
''Then show it to her, saying 'I love you' doesn't cast a spell on her to fall head over heels for your ass. Be honest about how you feel.'' She advises but her voice is higher pitch this time. She shakes her head disappointingly before walking closer to the door. ''Just try, you'll see'' then she walks out of the room.
I couldn't help but laugh, this is the 1st time I saw her acts to mature, and here I thought she's a player like me. I guess time changes someone or she's serious about Jaq?
Never mind about that, I need to do something special only for Aleena.
After minutes of thinking and scratching my head for answers, I've finally come up with something. Immediately I went on calling people, making a reservation at my favorite beach to enjoy ourselves and as for our dinner, I'll cook her my masterpiece when she tastes it she'll wet hersel- no, her mouth.
Feeling satisfied, I start working, I review every document but as I keep on doing it. It feels like it just keeps on multiplying. Then it dawns on me, I haven't been working for the past few days because I was chasing her.
I slowly lay my head on the table hoping that I'm dreaming but looking at the numbers of emails sent to me, I think not.
I heave a sigh and with a dead soul, I start working.
Let's just hope I finish this.

Aleena's POV
I can't but feel embarrassed after what I said. I mean who says 'Help me fall in love for you then, it's unfair that you're the only one,'
I cover my face with my hands and scream internally. But then something kicked in ''Will she really makes me fall for her? Is she serious?''
Of course, she's not!
With that, I unconsciously slammed my forehead on my desk making me groan feeling the pain. My co-workers next to me, look at me questioningly so I smile and told them it's nothing. I was just about to go back on doing the spreadsheet when someone hit my head.
''Why are you acting dumb today, dummy?'' asks CJ as she analyzes my whole being before taking a long sip from her coffee mug.
Behind her appears Jason wearing a smug smile before opening his mouth, ''You know CJ, I know who caused this dumbness to seep out.''
CJ claps her hands as if she already gets what Jason was implying. I shake my head at their charade and get back to work. Minutes passed but I can still hear them chatting behind my back.
''Have you seen Karen lately? She looks so radiant!'' says Jason.
''She was so sour before and petty, I mean I just changed where to place the coffee machine and she said she's okay with it but she moaned about it for days!'' Then she flicks her fingers and said '' She's getting laid.'' She said as if it's the only thing that would change a person's mood.
Suddenly a notification pops out, an email.
Before, seeing emails makes me feel excited cause that means a college accepted me but now I wish I don't get any of it. But once I opened it, I was surprised and shocked. It's from Yash the boob toucher.
'' Subject: Date with me
Hello Ms. Noir
Since you have given me permission to chase after you. I'm not gonna stop till I hear those 3 words. Tonight I'm gonna pick you up, dress casually, we'll go on a date.
See you soon, future Mrs. Vargantes ''
Reading this felt surreal, I didn't think that she would actually continue to pursue me and go have fun with another woman.
Slowly I can feel my heartbeat quicken and soon I can feel my face grow hotter.
''OH!!!! CJ, I was right after all! 100$ please.'' he brings his palm out and CJ gives him his money but not before pitching his sides.
''Damn midget that hurts!''
''So does my wallet!'' she exclaimed raising her hand on him. She turns her gaze on me then to the screen. She smiles before looking at me with a smug face on. ''So she's the cause of your dumbness today- wait and those hickeys too!?'' Immediately I covered her lips and elbowed her.
''Shut up'' I ordered her, she removes my hands away from her lip and replies: '' Yes, future MRS. Vargantes. Don't worry I'll help you with your transformation.''
I facepalm and sigh.
Damn Vargantes, why are you so hard to evade?
But easy to fall for. - comments my inner thoughts
