First Love

MAX’S POV

“What the fuck, Woah!” Vishal screamed in excitement.

I buried my head under the pillow to hide the fucking blush from my face.

Max Costello was seen with another woman but this time he was saving her from her panic attacks. He even took her to the car in his arms. What this could mean? Is she his girlfriend? Is he finally settled to one woman. Or was it just an another fling?

I wished to hide six feets deep in shame. Both Vishal and Rehan were watching the news channel with keen interest as if they are live watching the story of my life.

Why God? Why? They are so going to make fun of me and I honestly don’t want that. I am the Max Costello, I am the one who make fun of my friends not another way round.

“So, Erica huh?” Rehan smirked.

Well yes asshole!

Erica!

That woman! What she has done with me? Why I am goddamn so fucking attracted to her? What’s about her that makes her so different and so special? Why I couldn’t get her out of my mind. It’s like she’s stuck in there. Why she’s changing my player’s instinct? Why I fucking want to settle down to her?

She’s no pretty, she’s stubborn, she hates me yet I couldn’t, just couldn’t get her out of my mind.

Why do I want to heal her soul? The broken emotions in her eyes are so fragile that all I want is to calm them down. And I don’t know the reason why I see her as my future bride.

Bride.

Well fuck me!

What have I done? I fucking forced her to marry me?

I don’t want to marry. Honestly I fucking don’t want to marry anyone. It’s not about her, it’s about me but in the heat of moment my tongue slipped and now I am doomed.

It would’ve great if I’ve gotten a chance to know her and maybe she could’ve became my girlfriend but marriage? I don’t want that.

But what had happened to me in that moment? She was Infront of me, just mere inches apart, her beautiful eyes staring back at me and fuck I was whipped. I was in the moment and for a second I thought that how my life would be if she becomes my wife. Will she fight with me everyday? Will I be able to save her from all her chaos? Will I be able to heal her pain? Will I able to protect her and that forced me to love the idea of her becoming my wife.

I don’t know what my future holds and why the hell I am getting so intense with her? But definitely there’s something between us that I couldn’t deny. Something stronger than mere an attraction.

“You like her man, don’t you?” Vishal screamed.

I groaned and shook my head to deny him but my heart told me something else.

Should I tell them that I am going to marry her? I mean I said to her that I’ll marry her?

I must tell them. Otherwise they’ll kill me once they get the news from someone else.

“Guys, I need to tell you something.” I said.

They both turned their head to me, smiling like fools.

Great!

“I… I am going to marry her.”

Vishal was drinking beer and after hearing my words he spluttered it out all over me. I looked at him in frustration and removed the shirt from my body.

This Vishal!

“Nice joke, dude.” Rehan laughed.

Do they really think that I’ll joke something related to it? Well fuck them.

“I am serious, man!” I told to Rehan.

They both looked at each other and then at me and then burst out laughing like maniac.

“You’ve such a bad sense of humour.”

“You’re dumb, Max.”

Fucking Great!

I rolled my eyes and stared at them in disappointment. Are they really my friends? Seriously, this is too much!

Once I didn’t say anything, they both exchanged looks and in matter of seconds their jaw dropped in shock.

“Are you really going to marry her?” Asked Rehan.

I nodded my head.

“B-but…” Vishal trailed off.

“Don’t spoil her life, man. She has lost her boyfriend and I heard from Mayra that her brother has cancer. Don’t overburden pain on her. If you’re sure about your feelings then I am okay with you marrying her but if you’re just thinking of her as a medium to curb your curiosity in her then please don’t marry her.”

I opened my mouth to say something to Rehan but nothing came out.

I don’t want to overburden her pain. In fact I want to heal her broken soul. She deserves someone far better than me but I’ve emotions towards her which are hard to ignore.

“Rehan I am dead serious about her. I don’t love her and most probably will never be able to do so but atleast I can give her a decent life by marrying her.” I faked a smile.

Rehan looked at me and then a huge smile came to his face. “Why I am seeing myself in you? Remember how I told you that I couldn’t love Mayra but here look at me, I am lost puppy for her.”

Your case was different Rehan. Mayra always loved you but Erica she won’t ever.

Woah! What the fuck is wrong with me? Why I am getting so serious? Love? Where did that came from? I don’t need love neither do I want to love someone.

This marriage thing was just my stupid mistake which I can’t undo.

I’ll marry her for the public but in private we’ll just be friends. I’ll continue my player’s life and she can do whatever she wants with my money. I’ll try to make her smile and ease her pain and if she wants then she can hate me forever.

“I am damn happy for you man!” Vishal came to give me big hug.

Okay wow! That was totally unexpected.

“Do the preparation, I am going to marry her in a week.” I told them.

“What the hell? This early?” Rehan asked.

“What about our bachelor party?” Vishal asked.

I paid no heed to them and pulled out my cellphone from the pocket and tapped on Erica’s number.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“We’re getting married in a week and be ready I’ll pick you up by eight, I’ve to announce our wedding to the media.” I sent her a text.

I waited impatiently for a reply which came after two fucking minutes.

“Okay. And fuck you Max.”

I smiled at her temper and was about to kiss her message before I realized that both of them were staring at me.

I coughed and put the phone back in my pocket.

“It was Cassie Fox.” I shrugged my shoulders.

They both made a face and ignored me.

And that’s when I realised that I’ve a greater problem to deal with and she is Cassie Fox- the woman who’s crazy for me.
