Apologize?

Divya POV

***********

It was a nice make-out session. When our lips separated, Daksh said, "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me doll. I love you to the moon and back!"

I blushed and was also a little embarrassed. I tried to get out of his lap, but he held me down by my waist, and I looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Why do you have to leave me?" He asked me angrily.

"We will be late to the office" I said in a convincing tone.

"I'm the CEO, so I can go late to an office, and no one will question you too" He said arrogantly.

"Daksh, we have the boss-employee relationship at office, and I don't want anyone in office to think of me badly" I told him softly.

"But sweet..." I didn't let him finish his sentence. I placed my finger on his lips and shushed him.

"Please" I pleaded him with my puppy-dog eyes. He sighed as he slowly released my waist.

He muttered something like 'Her eyes will be the death of me'. I blushed. Slowly, I got up from his lap and sat on my seat as I adjusted my bra, t- shirt and hair quickly.

I could feel his gaze on me. However, I didn't look up to meet his gaze. Clearing his throat, he turned, and he started the car and drove off to the office. I sighed in relief.

After few minutes of driving, he stopped his car in front of the office. We got out of the car, and he parked the car. We walked to the office together.

Riya's eyes were constantly on us. She winked at me, and I blushed looking down.

Grabbing my hand, Daksh turned around, heading for the studio room. "Let's go into the studio room" He said.

"What? I mean, why are you coming with me" I asked him confusingly.

"Sweetheart, I want to introduce you to your new photographer" He said, and we entered the studio room. His eyes scanned the room silently.

"Where is she?" He muttered.

"Good morning, sir. Sorry, I did not see you arrive." I turned my head to the direction of the voice, only to see a beautiful girl about the same age as mine, walking towards us.

Her hazel eyes sparkled, and her red glossy lips were stretched into a smile, revealing her perfect white teeth. She was about 5'10 and she looked extra tall. She was wearing black floor length gown with thigh slit. She was stunning. But, I thought her dress was way too sexy for the job.

"Good morning Maya, how is your job going?" He asked her friendly.

"Job is going fine sir" she said in excitement.

"Come on Maya, there's no need of any formality between us. You're my friend's sister and as well my friend. So no formalities. Call me Daksh" He told her strictly.

"Okay, okay Daksh and you look more handsome than ever" Maya said, and I felt irritated.

"You look good as well" He told smiles.

Okay now, I'm super jealous!

They two are continuously talking, ignoring my presence. She's flirting with my boyfriend! She was looking at him with dreamily eyes but after sensing my angry glare at her, she smirked at me.

The nerve of her!

I cleared my throat to get his attention. He looked up at me quickly, "Oh God. I totally forgot to introduce Maya to you" Daksh said to me.

Great! Just great! He totally forgot me. I felt a pang of jealousy and hurt hit me like a truck.

"Let me introduce you to you first. Maya, she is Divya Mathur, the new model in our company. And Divya, meet your personal photographer, Maya Agarwal. She's my best friend Sanjeev Agarwal's sister" He introduced.

"Hi Divya, nice to meet you. I'll be your new photographer, so we'll be working together" she said with a smile.

It's a fake smile. When you really smile, your eyes change its shape a bit. When you are a fake smile, the eyes stay the same.

"It's nice to meet you too Maya. I'm going to change my dress and let you guys talk" I said and went to my dressing room. It didn't take me long to put on the dress. Make up artists, did my makeup. Once I was out, I saw Daksh still talking to Maya. She was smiling holding his hand.

Even though I know he only loves me, I tried to ignore the hurt that I felt but can't help it.

Daksh gazes landed on me.

"There she is!" He told.

"Maya, I want to end this session before the lunch break" Daksh said before turning around and heading to his cabin. I sighed sadly. He didn't even appreciate my look.

I was led to the stage. Maya started taking my pictures when I changed my pose from time to time.

I have to agree that Maya is very talented photographer and is an absolute professional. She took my photographs very well.

After three hours, Maya announced, "All right. You go change the dress. Your work is done!" I noticed her voice was full of arrogance.

What's wrong with her? I thought and changed my dress.

I went directly to Daksh office cabin and knocked the door. I waited for a few minutes. Sighing, I opened his door but there was no one inside.

Suddenly, I felt his presence behind me. I felt a hot breadth stroking my neck. I didn't have to turn to know who was behind me.

His arms tightly held my waist, yanking me into him. A quiet groan escaped him as he inhaled deeply again, burying his face against my hair.

"Daksh" I whispered softly.

"Hmm" He hummed.

"I thought you were not here"I said, breathing heavily. Slowly, he removed my shirt off my shoulder and kissed. His touches are creating havoc inside my body.

"Daksh stop! Someone will come. We can't do this in office" I told him strictly. He sighed.

Suddenly, my stomach growled. I heard him chuckling. My face flushed with embarrassment. He turned me around to face him.

"Didn't you have your lunch?" He asked me, and I nodded 'NO'.

"Your work is done. Go home and relax. My driver will take you to our house. I will be coming late today" He said, pecking my lips.

"Late?" I asked him.

"Dad told me to join Mr.Smith's meeting with the foreign clients. Mr. Smith is ready to sign a new project. I have to go to a meeting in a few hours. So I can't be home by 6, but a little later" He explained.

"Wishing you all the best for the new project" I told him.

"Thanks sweetheart " He said, pulling me closer. He leaned in, his lips brushing against mine, so gently, they are barely touching.

Oh, God! His lips are barely touching me, but it's enough to send a sizzle of heat through my veins.

"Tell me to kiss you" He whispered quietly. I want to feel his lips on mine.

God! He is teasing me!

"Kiss me" I whispered.

He smirked before he claimed my lips. Someone interrupted us by opening the door wide. We jerked away. I turned to see the irritating Maya standing there at the door, looking at us with widened eyes. She had anger written on her face.

Anger? But why?? I looked at her keenly, and she was glaring at me with pure rage. I was pissed off, seeing her reaction.

"Don't you have any manners? Didn't your parents teach you about manners?!' I yelled at her. Daksh's eyes widened, shocked.

"My parents brought me up to have good manners" She said softly and left the cabin while saying sorry.

Drama queen! She was acting normal in front of him.

"What the hell happened to you? Are you crazy?" Daksh shouted at me.

"I don't like that b***h" I shouted back at him.

"Mind your words Divya. She is not a b***h, and you will not talk about her that way anymore. Do you hear me?" Tell me Divya, do you have a problem with her?" He enquired.

"Yes, I have a problem with her. She behaves very arrogantly in my presence and her voice changes to be rough. I feel a negative vibe coming from her. I feel like she is going to snatch you away from me. So, I want you to fire her right now" I told him firmly.

"You're talking about rubbish! Nobody can snatch me away from you" He assured.

"No, I don't want to hear anything. I just want you to fire her. That's it" I told him stubbornly.

"I am not going to fire her just because you ask me to. It is no use talking to you. I am warning you, be in your limits Divya. She is my best friend's sister, and you cannot shout at her like this. You can't insult Maya. Apologize to her, right now!" He ordered me.

"Apologize?? My foot!" I snapped, Daksh face turned into rage. He grabbed my arms and pulled me to him. I wriggled myself free from him, but he held a firm and tight grip.

"Apologize to her" he ordered me, once again sternly.

"Never" I shouted. Daksh tightened his grip on my arms, and I almost cried out in pain. I closed my eyes and hoped that the pain would fade. I closed my eyes, and tears started flowing down my eyes.

He is hurting me because I insulted her. It just proves that I'm no one to him. I'm a fool to believe his love. Suddenly, adrenaline started pumping through my blood streams and with my all strength, I pushed him. He stumbled on his own feet.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO HURT ME" I shouted at the top of my lungs. I noticed his eyes soften, seeing my teary face. I angrily left the place.

On the way, I saw Maya looking at me. I could see it in her eyes that she smirked at me.

You won Maya! Within few hours you created misunderstanding between us. This made me cry more than I already was.

I quickly ran out of the building crying, when I bumped into someone. But before I could contact the ground, I felt a large hand gripping my waist. I quickly pulled out of the hug.

"Karthik!" I whispered.

*****************************************

Precap -"Don't worry about that. She will be mine, only mine." Karthik said looking straight in my eyes. His whole demeanor changed.

How is it?

What do you think about Maya?

And Daksh and Divya's fight?
