Im not gonna marry you.

Dwayne close his eye's while his hand massaging his forehead. . He just finished signing a lot of documents. He sighed. His phone ring. It was his mother calling. He answered it "hello mom" on the other line "hello son, we need to discuss about your marriage now"

"what the hell, mom. Marriage? are you joking?"

the other line "im not joking Dwayne, You need to marry Malia and give us a grandchildren"

"Mom im still 24, it's too early for me to get married"

the other line "what do you mean early youre already at the right age to get married"

"Arghh. whatever mom. I won't marry that girl. And i don't like her. Bye there's a lot of things i still need to do" he hang up. He don't want to hear anything again from her mother.

In his thought "there's no way im gonna marry that girl. Ill be damned if i marry her" he sighed. His family wanted him to marry the one only daughter of the Blake family. His father and her father were good friends. Malia was only 2 years younger to him. He never like her ever since they were kids. She kept on pestering him, until now. She was so wild, and she dress like a boy, she talked too much, eat too much, she doesn't act like a girl. He never dreamed of marrying a tomboy.

She was the heiress of the blake family but how can she act like that. She's no lady on the way she act in everything. He sighed so deep. "Only an insane man would marry that tomboy". Its already evening and his so tired he wants to go home early. He get up from his swivel chair and pick his coat.

At the parking lot his friend call him inviting him to have a drink. He said yes. He open his car door and drive to the bar. He parked his car at parking area. He enter the V.I.P room in the bar. There sit his friends Lewe, Carl and Marlon. He sits in the couch and asked "where's the others". Lewe answered him "Nahh we don't know. They just said they're all busy". He just nods and pick a glass and he pour some whisky on it. "Hey, There's a rumour that youre already getting married huh?" said Marlon. He put down the glass his holding in the table and look at Marlon. "Me getting married. And who dare to spread a rumour about me?"

Marlon answered "It's all over the groupchat.."

He look at Marlon and asked "what groupchat?" his forehead wrinkles.

"oh, you don't know our batchmates create a group chat. I see you were not invited" Carl said with a smug.

He wrinkled his forehead more. He thought "and why wouldn't they invite me".

Lewe laugh and said "wait lemme invite you"

"huh, no need" He drink.

"But are you really getting married?" Lewe asked.

"No. Im still too young for that" he answered.

"ok. but if ever just let us know well throw a bachelors party for you." Lewe said And the three of them laughed at him.

He just look at them with a squinty eyes. And shake his head.

After drinking for an hour he decided to go home. His not that drank he can still drive. When he reach the gate of his house he notice someone is standing at his door. He continue to drive and he park his car at his garage. The one standing at his door is the one he didn't want to see ever. He sighed "What's this tomboy doing here?" He thought. He wants to avoid her but he can't do anything cause she already see him. "What are you doing here?" he asked Malia.

"Well, Im here to ask you to marry me" Malia said it with a smiling face.

He laugh "Are you joking?"

"No im not.Im serious?" she's still smilling.

He just stare at her, Yes even this woman don't act or look like a girl she is still beautiful. But she's not his type. He prefer a gentler and more lady like woman.

"hey, stop staring at me"

"tsk, Who's staring at you" You go home. I won't marry you" He slightly push her away from the door.

"Why, Why you don't like me?" she asked.

"Cause your not my type"

"Am i ugly" She asked again.

He sighed and roll his eyes "no your not but if ever i will marry a woman. I would like to marry the one i love. And youre not the one i love"

She feel sad from what he said.

"But i like you"

"Well im sorry but i don't like you. And could you do me a favor please go away from me, stop pestering me. I don't wanna marry you" he close the door. She was left outside.

He watch her walked away from his house glass window. "She didn't bring her car. It would be hard for her to get a cab here" He shakes his head. " Well that's no longer my problem."

It was 10pm at night when her mother is calling her. He was already sleeping and the phone ring wake him up. "Hello, what again mom" He was irritated. "Is Malia there?" His mother asked.

"and why would be that woman be here?"

"Her mother called me that Malia is still not home and Malia said that she will go and visit you". He was shocked from what his mother said.

He feel worried. He hang up. And get up from his bed. "Damn, That tomboy. Making things really hard for me" he rushed outside to go and look for her. He dialed her number and no response.

Everytime that something like this happen he feel worried and rush to look for her. He ran outside the gate and he was right she was still there sitting embracing her legs. He call her name "Malia" She look at him. He run towards her. "Are you insane, It's already 10;45 in the night. Why are you still here" he scolds her.

She stand and nearly fell but he grab her arm and pull her. "I-im sorry my leg cramps" she said.

"Im waiting for a cab".

"Waiting for a cab. You always know that it was hard to get a cab from here. Why didn't you bring your car" .

"You always let me sleep in your house whenever i come here. I-i didn't expect you to close the door not inviting me" she lowered down her head.

He felt guilty for that "let's go to the house it's cold and theres a lot of mosquitos here." he pull her.

"You hungry ?" he asked.

"uhm, " she nods.

He notice that she have been holding a bag. His forehead wrinkled "what's in the bag?" he asked.

"ahh. this" she look at the bag and smile "dishes that i cooked"

Well this woman may not be a lady like but she can cook and sometimes she can be gentle too but all the time that his with her all he remembers is her wildness, the way she teases him and pester him all the time.

"You. Are you hungry?" she asked.

"no. you go and eat. Ill go and sleep, you can sleep in the guest room." he go upstairs.

She was left in the living room. She sighs "he keeps distancing hiself to me." She's staring at his room door. "I should just go and sleep too. I already lost my appetite" .

She laid down on the bed "We've known each other since were kids but he always ignore me. That's why i keep on pestering him. and i think thats what make him want to avoid me more. I should stop pestering him" she thought. She was staring at nothing and that make her fall sleep.

She woke up early and heated up the dishes she bring. He came out from his room. "ohh. Youre up. Let's eat" she said it with a smile. He just look at her "im not hungry. when are you leaving?" he asked.

"Hey, You why are you so rude to me." her eyebrows met. "i woke up early to heat this food for you"

"Huh, I've never told you to do that" he said. " and here she is again, she can never be the woman i will marry" he thought while looking at her. "Im leaving" he said and walk out from the house.

"I hate you Dwayne" she shouts.

He hear that. "ohh, Just hate me. It would be better if you do"

At his office it was already lunch time. His secretary enter his office and told him that a girl is looking for him. "What girl?" he already have a hint who could that be but still ask. "A girl with a boyish style sir" his secretary said it with a flirting smile. Yes, His secretary like her. Well she was the woman of his type but he don't like her. There's a lot of woman who goes after him but none of them has able to capture his heart. He was wondering, why? He feels like his heart was already been occupied.

"Don't let her in, I don't kn--" the door open and she entered.

"hey, I bought you lunch" She said smilling while walking towards him.

His shoulder drop and he feels disapointed "you again"

"what?" she smile. "it's just natural for a wife to deliver her husband lunch, Right." she winks on him.

"W-wife? Who, You?" He said.

"Yes" She's just smilling.

He covered his face with his hand "This tomboy, is she here to pester me again" he thought.

He look at his secretary and asked her to go out and look at her with a angry face. "when did i become your husband. I've told you i won't marry you. Don't you get it i don't like you. The more you come to me the more that i don't like you. So can you just please go away. You're annoying" He said those with a dominant angry voice. And he wlaked out from his office.

She was startled, That's the first time he did that to her. Back then no matter how annoyed he is to her, he will just leave her, but now. She felt like crying. "maybe i should stay away from him" she thought. She leave his office.

He was drinking Whisky at his house "It's been a while since she come to me, and my mother stop talking about marriage too. Did she reeally give up on me." that thought make him feel a little bit sad. "but it's better that way, now i can have a peacefull life".

The other day he asked his secretary to booked him a ticket to Australia. "Ill go stay there in case that tomboy might come again" he sighed.

His phone ring and its his mother. "hello mom" he answer.

"Son come home for tonight. Let's have a family dinner."

"Ok mom, Be there" Then he hang up.

It's been a while since they have a family dinner.

He leave early and go to his parents house. He entered the house and she was there too.

"ohh son. Youre here. come and let's eat" his mother called him.

"why is she here? You said it was a family dinner" his forehead wrinkled.

"Son, I invited Malia here so that we can talk about your marriage" His mother said smilling.

"what the, Didn't i already told you that i wont marry her" he look at her "and you don't you have any shame i've already told you that i don't like you why do you keep on--.." he stop when he see her reaction. "damn" He stands from his chair and leave.

His father stand and call his name "Dwayne,"

But he just ignore it and leave the house.

He decided to go to Australia without telling his parrent. He just send them a message when he was already in Australia that he will go back there if they stop making him marry that woman. .
