Abstract

Sarah was a single mother whose life revolved around her five year old son – James. She did not need a man in her life and was happy with the way it was shaping. And even if she would permit a man in her life, he had to prove to be worthy of being a good father to James along with a good life partner to her. But when fate throws her together with a complete polar opposite of her, will she be able to resist these irresistible forces?

Harry does not have a serious bone in his body. Girls have always been a matter of pursuit for him. But a chance encounter and a night of passion with a no-nonsensical female, leads him to believe in the saying ‘opposites attract’. But will he be able to convince her as well?

Will Sarah be able to resist Harry’s advances? Will Harry be able to take on the role of a father in James’ life if he wants to be a part of Sarah’s? Is their attraction stronger than the seeming differences between them? Will the two of them avoid or succumb to these ‘irresistible forces’?

Storyline

When Bruce Shepherd walked out of her life, Sarah became a single mother by choice of– James, around whom her life revolved. Five years down, between her job as the no-nonsense editor-in-chief of Élan and her sweet boy, she had little time to spare for any other thing. While Harry as the youngest son of the Sanders family was a carefree, laid-back individual taking life as it came each day. They were polar opposites in personality but brought together by fate, when they met at the wedding of Sarah’s colleague, Betty and Rick, Harry’s brother where they were the matron-of-honor and best man respectively. There was instant attraction but Sarah was not one who would let a night of passion rule her decisions in life, especially since those decisions involved her son. Harry wanted to bring out the passion he had seen in Sarah that night and so was relentless in his persuasion. They fight the attraction, but finally succumb to it and all is well.

NO I AM NOT

The type of girl who would:-

·         Die for you if I loved you.

·         Dress up well to impress you.

·         Do everything for you without thinking.

·         Put you before me.

·         Play along with your stupidity just to please you.

·         Shower you with love and expect nothing in return. 

·         Take your bullshit when you are wrong.

·         Tell you what you want to hear instead of what you should hear.

·         Hurt myself just to see you smile.

·         Lose weight for you.

·         Kill my happiness just to be with you.

Love is when the other person makes you happy even after all the disagreements in the world.

Love is not stupid, corny and unreasonable nor am I.

Take me for who I am or turn around and walk away

I will not lose weight or dress up well to impress you. I will not kill my happiness just to be with you. I will not do everything for you without thinking, or put you before me. I will not play along with your stupidity just to please you. I will not tell you what you want to hear instead of what you should hear. I cannot shower you with love and expect nothing in return or take your bullshit when you are wrong. I cannot hurt myself just to see you smile. No I am not the type of girl who would die for you if I loved you.

Neither do I expect you to be. Love is not stupid, corny and unreasonable nor am I. Love is when the other person makes you happy even after all the disagreements in the world. And you make me happy, even if we are polar opposites of each other.

I love you as you are. I love your curves, your quirky dressing style, your bossiness, your know-it-all attitude or your fighting spirit. And I know you love me enough to die for me if the occasion demands, said he with a cheekiness.

I am ready to accept you for who and what you are. In turn I ask you to take me for who I am or turn around and walk away.

So what do you say, babe? Do we get a chance?
