way out of your league

INSECURITIES 6

Nora's POV

I really tried my best to get along with Natalie,truly I did but i believe no one would tolerate anyone who put their hands on their family especially their mum.So I reacted,I know Sandra's plan was overboard but I went along with it but after carrying it out I realized how tacky it was,that led to Sandra and I quarrelling cause she wasn't backing down and I just wanted no part of this stupid mess.I actually do admire Natalie but I hate it when she won't back down instead she act like she is a f*****g queen.I mean she is cool but she has to acknowledge that I am way better, more beautiful and richer than her,just an acknowledgement but no she would put on the air ,which says all that doesn't matter,yes it does.Since her company she set up with her friends picked up and began rising which I think was due to my brother's influence she feels like we are equal,Hmm! talk about being delusional. Focusing on my business for a while I realized there was so much I could do to expand my line of deodorant and perfume.While I worked on it,I decided to check up on Andre.

I know what you are thinking,but I'm not a stalker,I promise.I just need him to see that I've changed so when I was informed he was meeting up with a girl at a restaurant,I wasn't going to remain idle,so I went there but met them when they were about leaving.It seems to me that Judah and Hansel was trying to introduce him to some girl and I wasn't going to allow that so walking towards him I said "Hello Andre" I know his friends saw me as obsessive but I'm not really "Nora what do you want,Why are you here, please tell me this a f*****g coincidence" he replied "Please Andre, you have to give us one more chance, don't let them push you to someone else" I begged hoping I got through to him "Wow! I guess this isn't a coincidence,who exactly do you think is pushing me and who is the some one else?"he asked "I know they introduced a girl to you tonight, and I know I deserve it from them with how I ended things but can't you give me one more chance, don't you love me anymore,not even a tiny bit"I asked "You are acting delusional and it's irritating,ok maybe this would end all this and then maybe you can move on with your life,I don't love you anymore" he replied crushing my heart,"please Andre,I know you don't mean it,take it back" I screamed crying "Nora you are creating a scene,this isn't good for your image,the last time some thing like this occurred it went viral the next day,please stop" he said "Please Andre don't do this to me" I begged "We would talk about this later on phone,just go,I don't want anyone recording this" he replied, so I left crushed.

On Sunday we had a family dinner at a restaurant,even though I wasn't in the mood for it,I showed up only to have my parents asking lot of questions which was running my mood more."please Nora,you have to realize we all care about you" Sandra said when I stopped answering anyone."Nora baby,mummy is going to make it all better I promise,I know you are sad and Sandra told us you were stalking that guy again but mummy knows best and he is not good for you baby just let me handle this" my mom said irritating me "I'm not stalking him, can you stop using that word especially when you are the reason why we broke up"I replied "Nora,you are young and have all the time in the world to find love you don't have to settle for less"my dad said "I'm not settling,can you guys for once just understand me,I love him" I said exhausted with the whole f*****g conversation."Nora,I know you feel he is the best thing you had but trust me he isn't good for you,he is a dead weight that would pull you down socially, emotionally, financially and even professionally"Sandra said while I rolled my eyes cause I know there was no use trying to make them understand.

"Hello,sorry to disrupt your dinner,my name is Noah Hudson,I saw your picture on the latest cover of glamour magazine and I was stunned,I am so happy to meet you in person and would like to get to know you better if you would let me.i guess these are your parents so I want to formally introduce myself" a guy said to me,even after noticing he was really handsome,I wasn't moved at all.I just wanted Andre period "is there any chance your parents are Mr Terry and Mrs Victoria Hudson"My dad asked "Wow!it wonderful you know my parents" the stranger whose name is Noah answered "Yea we run in the same circle although your dad can be a handful to be around"my dad replied "who are his parents"my mum asked smiling "Oh his parents own this Restaurant we are in and we have shares in their chain of hotels"my dad replied "It's a pleasure to meet you young man, I guess helping your dad with business must be keeping you busy"my mum asked "Not really,I'm a doctor and I hope to set up something in a few years time"he replied "what an industrious young man" my mum said,while he turned to me saying "so would you go on a date with me" "No,I'm really not interested in you" I replied truthfully while he appeared shocked "Sweetheart,that is rude"my dad said "Young man do not be surprised,a lady has to play hard to get else you won't value her,step up and woo her"my mum told him smiling "what"I said but my mom cut me off saying "That's her number"sliding my business card to him and then he said "I'll stop by soon" just before walking away.

"Do I look like an auction piece to you guys,I'm almost twenty five for Christ sake and I know what I want"I said hoping to get through to them "No you don't cause what you lust over is trash and I won't let you ruin your life over a low class nobody who can't treat you like the queen you are"my mum said "I'm done dealing with your drama"I said walking out while I heard Sandra's voice "Nora,Nora,slow down" "Stay away from me Sandra,now I understand why Nathan can't stand you,you are a snitch,a spy for them and I don't want you anywhere close to me" I replied before driving off. The next day which was on a Monday morning I went to Andre's office to see him but he wouldn't let me but I barged in "Jesus,Nora I said I would call you, stop creating a scene anytime we meet" he said "Good morning to you too Andre, have you thought about it, please sweetie I can't leave without you" I said "You've been doing just fine since we broke up"he replied sarcastically "Why are you acting like this,you never use to treat me this way before,I said I was sorry,I was stupid and I never stopped loving you" I said quickly "I am trying not to hurt you Nora cause I care about you but the more you act like a crazy obsessive stalker,the more I start thinking everything we had was one big mistake and I regret meeting you,stop all this Nora,it exhausting and infuriating" he replied while I cried."Please stop crying Nora,ok I'm sorry for the words I used but you have to stop"he said and I walked towards him just to hug him,"I'm scared Andre"I said quietly "There is nothing to be scared of,you are going to be just fine,and if you need me,I'll always be there but please give me space,it's hard for me too".When I left his office I was crushed so I went to my dad's company just so I can speak to someone who would understand me a bit.I have always been daddy's little girl but at this moment when I really needed him to understand me,he couldn't instead he introduced me to two other guys who wanted to date me,so i kept quiet cause it hurts to talk.My Dad called my mum telling her everything and my mum's response was "Now you have so many guys to make a choice from,besides Sons of my friends are also interested in you,I told you mummy would fix this" I was so disappointed with parents,now I understand how Nathan feels with regards to them,I felt Nathan was just over reacting but it appears he isn't.

Moving to Nathan's office,I met him and I explained everything to him crying while he understood me a bit,he just didn't get the most important parts so I was still hurt when he said "it's ok Nora, I told you before to stop stalking him,so he isn't interested anymore then focus on your company and yourself.You let him go Nora,you never fought for him so I get where he is coming from,love bombing him isn't helping the situation" he replied hugging me.Finally I left his office exhausted and tired of my life,what's the use of having everything when no one tries to understand you.Sitting in the bathroom,I couldn't help sobbing.Then I heard a knock on the door so i tried to wipe my tears but I heard Natalie say "I know you are hurt,it's hard when you love someone but can't be with them especially when it's your fault but then the heart wants what it wants and it's excruciating to let go when you know you've got something wonderful and this person feels like your soulmate.If you want to talk Nora come find me" when she was through she walked away.I cried more because in a few sentences,a person i was always against explained everything I was feeling.Nobody in that stupid league or social circle could understand me but someone outside it, even one who I felt I way out of her league was the one who understood my plight.Even when my own family didn't, and after everything I did to her,she shouldn't give a f**k about me but she went out of her way to be kind to me.I was ashamed of myself but I was sinking fast into depression so I really needed her help.

Walking out of the restroom,I moved straight to her office,I walked in to her and Nathan talking,he turned to me surprised I was still here.But I quickly spoke before I lost the courage to, "I really need to talk now,I really need your help,please can you help me" i said to Natalie with my voice breaking "please Nathan,I really need to take the rest of the day off.i would make up for it if I have to"she said "No problem,Nora do you need me to..."Nathan said but I cut him off saying "No I just want to speak to her privately please"I said in a low tone cause my voice was shaking "Let's go Nora" Natalie said and we left the office.
