Hello everyone... I have been very busy and might be busy this whole month. But have written an OS... Since I won't be able to write the story called "Slow Love" in the Love Trilogy... I have decided to write another one, called "Stubborn Love." With this story, Love series are completed.

Madhu, Dipali, Trishna and Ria sit around the table looking at different colors of pen.  

Just walk out of it, Madhu. Something whispered deep inside her. 

"Come on, Madhu. Stop being a prude." Dipali tells her. 

"I am not." Madhu says taking a deep breath. 

"Then you go first." Ria tells her. 

Madhu looks at the pens and then taking a deep breath she closes her eyes and picks a pen. 

Madhu opens her eyes and looks at the pen she was holding. Red. Red for danger. Oh Lord! 

"Okay... we will take at the same time?" Trishna asks everyone and they each pick a pen. 

"We are done." Dipali shouts out to the guys. 

"Great!! Let's see who got blue." Sultan says as he excitedly ran in with Sikky and Abhay behind him and RK trailing behind. 

"Oh my!" Trishna says in shock as she held up her blue pen. 

"Trishna!" Sultan says in a flirty tone while Trishna grins happily. 

"Green?" Sikky asks excitedly. 

"Me!" Dipali replies as she put up her pen. 

"Black?" Abhay asks. 

"Oh bloody hell!" Madhu replies in wide eyed shock before anyone could say anything. 

"You are black?" Abhay asks frowning upset at her reaction. 

"No, I am black." Ria replies as she looked at Madhu and sees her staring at RK. 

RK looks at Madhu curiously and then his eyes widens as realization dawns. "YOU?" 

"Who asked you to pick red?" Madhu asks him furiously as she stood up. 

"I had to close my eyes! Why the hell did you pick red?" RK asks her furiously. 

"I had my eyes closed too." Madhu mutters. 

"No one asked her to." Dipali adds trying her best to hide her giggle. 

"Rules are rules." Abhay tells them. 

RK turns to glare at Abhay when Sultan adds, "God! If they are like this now... how are they are gonna be when..." 

"Shut up!" Madhu snaps at him. 

"There is no backing out, now!" Dipali tells Madhu. 

Madhu glares at RK and he glares right back at him. Ever since she joined this office, she had hated him. She hated his flirting nature, obnoxious behavior, he was crass and she absolutely hated his I-am-always-right attitude, she could never tolerate that as she was never wrong. She hated him and he hated her, FULL STOP! Now she had to sleep with him? He was going to be her first? He is going to make a laughing stock out of her here for being a virgin and an inexperienced one about everything.  

Nothing was going down her throat as she nervously played with her food. How did I let Dipali talk me into this? It was a normal day at office when Sultan and Abhay started talking about friends with benefits and wife swapping and all. Somehow the conversation turned to hook ups in office. Before she knew they were planning to have a random hook up. She had laughed it off like any other thing. Then the next day, Dipali had talked her into it talking about how man gets to have all the fun, that her future husband would be sleeping his way around the whole country and blah blah blah. The feminist in Madhu had woken up and she decided to have some fun and for the first time she realized that she was so bloody wrong. She turns to look at RK and sees him joking with Sultan and Abhay as if sleeping with someone was not a big deal to him. He is definitely good looking but I hate him and I just couldn't do it. He is going to make fun of me tomorrow. Oh god! Please save me. 

Soon dinner was over and everyone gathered around the living room. They were staying at Abhay's farm house.  

"There are condoms in every room." Abhay informs them. "In case anyone forgot to bring." 

Madhu looks at RK in panic and he was turning off his mobile. Oh god! 

"So let's?" Sultan asks Trishna. She nods in reply.  

Madhu watches as one by one everyone starts to go to a room. 

"Shall we?" RK asks Madhu softly. 

Madhu's eyes widen and she gulps in panic. Then seeing everyone watching her, she nods her head. RK keeps his hand on her lower back and Madhu turns to look at him in shock but he was winking at Sultan as he gently started leading her to the bedroom assigned to them. 

"You seem nervous." RK tells her softly as he walked with her to the room. "First time doing it outside a relationship?"  

Madhu looks at him in panic and before she could say anything they were in the bedroom. Madhu watches in shock as he locked the door. RK turns to her and says with a flirty smile, "How about we start with a drink? Set the mood and it will help you loosen up." 

Madhu's heart starts slamming against her chest hearing him and she panics, "No." 

"Wow... you are fast. You don't want to take it slow?" RK asks a little apprehensively. 

"I can't do this. I want to go." Madhu says panicking as she tried to walk past him.  

"Wait! What?" RK asks her as he held her hand. 

"Please, RK. I am sorry. I made a mistake. I can't do this." 

"Because it is me?" 

"No. you are good looking guy and any girl would want to do it with you. but I am not like that. That Dipali talked me into this. I made a mistake. I am not that type of a girl. I wanted to wait till my marriage and then that Dipali..." Madhu blabbers as she struggled to free her hand from his hold. 

"You mean to say you haven't done this before?" RK asks her in shock. 

"Yes. And I don't want to do it outside marriage. Sex is sacred after marriage but before that it is a sin. I can't do this. Please RK. Let me go. I am sorry." Madhu says frantically and then stops in shock seeing RK softly chuckling. "Why are you laughing?" 

"God, Madhu! How do you always manage to surprise me?" RK asks her sweetly smiling at her. 

"Surprise you?" Madhu asks shocked. 

"I was going to get you drunk and make you think that we did it." RK tells her. 

"WHAT?" 

"Shhh." RK shushes her up. "They might hear us." RK tells her softly. 

"You didn't want to do it with me?" Madhu asks shocked. 

"I didn't want to do it with anyone." RK tells her as he left her hand and walked towards the bed. 

"Are you gay?" Madhu asks in shock. 

RK gives her a look. "If a guy wants to wait till marriage to do it doesn't mean he is gay." 

"You are a virgin?" Madhu whispers in shock. 

"I am a flirt. I know I am at times very sick and crack a lot of dirty jokes." RK tells her and then he adds embarrassed, "Yeah I am a virgin too." 

"Oh my God!" Madhu whispers in shock as she sat next to him. "But why?" 

"Flirting and all is fine, Madhu. But that kind of intimacy, it should be with only that one girl who makes your heart beat like never before." RK tells her. 

"Wow... I never thought you were romantic." Madhu says amazed. 

RK chuckles, "I watch chick flicks and I cry." 

Madhu bursts out laughing hearing that. 

"If you tell anyone that, then I'll tell everyone that you had begged me to not have sex today and to hide that you are making up stories about me." RK warns her. 

Madhu smiles at him not worried. Seeing her smile, RK smiles at her. 

"Then why did you come here?" 

"That Sultan... he kept eating off my brain asking me to lose it. He was making fun of my manhood and I just let my ego get the better of me." RK tells her. 

"Oh!" Madhu says grinning. "Then let's go home?" 

"No... think of my image, Madhu." RK tells her in shock. 

"What do you mean?" Madhu asks him in shock. 

"We'll stay here tonight and go in the morning as if everything went according to plan." 

"But..." 

"I feel that we being virgins are what are pricking them and they forcing us. So let's just let them think we are no longer virgins." 

Madhu thinks for a while and realizes that he is right. Dipali has been behind her for months now to loosen up a little. 

"You are right." Madhu tells him smiling. 

"I am always right, Madhubala Malik." RK says with a smirk. 

"Says the man who just admitted it was a mistake letting his ego guide him." Madhu smirks at him. 

"You always pisses me off." 

"Even you, me." 

"I live for that." RK tells her and then turns on the TV and puts it on mute. "There is a rerun of an old match." RK says excitedly as he sat on the couch.  

Madhu sits on the couch next to him and tries watching cricket for a while then getting bored she picks her mobile and starts playing Logo Quiz, her current obsession. 

"Ermm..." Madhu starts clearing her throat as she looked at RK. RK turns to look at her curiously. "You know which brand is this?" Madhu hesitantly asks him. RK looks at her mobile screen and says, "Chrysler. That is a car." Madhu enters it and smiles' seeing it is right. "Thank you." 

"What game is that?" 

"Logo Quiz." Madhu replies as she typed in Chevrollet, and starts frowning seeing that it is wrong. 

"Only one L." RK tells her. 

"Oh!" Madhu deletes an L and gets that right. 

"We'll sleep?" RK asks her as his match was over. 

Madhu nods her head and gets up. They both look at the bed and there was no long couch to sleep, only single seaters. 

"I am not sleeping on the floor." RK tells Madhu. 

"We can share the bed." Madhu tells smiling trusting him. 

They settle on two ends of the bed. Madhu starts turning around unable to sleep. Change in surroundings and being on a bed with a guy was disturbing her. She realized that she was not going to get any sleep that night, so she takes her mobile to play. 

"Not sleepy?" RK asks her. 

"You didn't sleep?" 

"I might want to wait for marriage but I am still a guy." RK mutters. 

Madhu nervously looks at him not knowing how to reply to that.  

"Why aren't you sleeping?" RK asks her. 

"Because first time I am sleeping with a man in my bed." Madhu says nervously. 

"God... just play your game." RK says nervously realizing the sudden closeness was not only affecting him, her also. 

"Did you sleep?" Madhu hesitantly asks him after a while. 

"Stuck?" RK asks her. 

"I need to guess one more to go to the next level." 

RK moves closer to her and looks at the screen. "That one is Timberland." 

Madhu enters that and smiles as she got access to next level. She was about to go back to the main screen when RK holds her hand. "That is Atari. Harley Davidson. That one is Canon." 

Madhu turns to look at him in shock, "You are so fast." 

"I am very brand conscious." RK explains as he identified the remaining ones.  

"I missed a lot in the first few levels." Madhu says with an excited smile as she went to the previous levels.  

RK moves closer to her and starts helping her as their head touched gently on the pillow.  

"Victoria's secret!" RK drawls in a flirty tone. 

Madhu gives RK a look and then enters it. 

"Do you have any?" RK whispers to her. 

Madhu shivers feeling his breath on her neck.  

"Do you?" RK asks her. 

"Shut up!" 

"Come on. Tell me." 

"You are so disgusting. You feel something inside you and you act as if someone completely different. Why do you behave so sickly?" Madhu asks him shocked. 

"It is fun riling you up. And it's all fun, Madhu." RK chuckles as he looked at the fan thoughtfully. "You were always different from other girls." 

"Me? How?" 

"You knew where to draw the line. And I liked pushing you up against it." 

"Why?" Madhu asks surprised. 

RK shrugs. "I liked it when you got angry. Your face used to go pink." 

"I hated you when you did that."  

"I know." RK laughs. 

Madhu turns to glare at him and seeing him laughing with so much mirth in his eyes, she couldn't help but laugh softly. Her laughter felt like music to his ears.  

"Madhu..." RK calls her name in a serious tone. 

"Hmmm?" 

"Let people say whatever they want, don't let them influence you. You are a great person. You are truly a lady. Call me old fashioned or narrow minded for my way of thinking, but don't throw away what you are for some mindless sex. You are more than that." 

"Even you. Let everyone make fun of you, don't do anything that is against your believes, RK. I realize that you are not all bad." Madhu ends with a teasing smile. 

RK chuckles hearing her and smiles at her happily. It felt nice smiling at her and having her smile back at him.  

Madhu looks at him watching her and her eyes get caught in his eyes; there was a world out there in his eyes. Finally looking him in the eyes she could truly see the man he hid behind the facade of his.  

RK gently kisses her on her forehead and Madhu smiles at him shyly. 

"Good night." RK wishes her. 

"Good night." Madhu replies as she watched him roll over to his side of the bed. 

Madhu wakes up in the morning and turning to her side she sees RK sleeping on his side facing her with his hand on the pillow. Without even thinking she holds his hand and he closes his hand holding her back. Madhu looks at him in panic and sees him smiling though his eyes were closed. 

"You are awake?" Madhu asks panicking as she tried to free her hand from his hold. 

"Been up for a long time." RK replies as he opened his eyes as he tightened his hold on her.  

"I was just..." Madhu says embarrassed as she looked at their hands. 

"I know." RK replies grinning at her. 

"We should get going." Madhu tells him. 

Leaving her hand RK sits up. "Why don't you get ready?" 

"Okay." 

Madhu comes out of the shower and her eyes goes wide seeing the bed so messed up.  

"What happened here?" Madhu asks shocked. 

RK rolls his eyes, "If they are to believe that we did something then the bed can't look neat and tidy, right?" 

Madhu chuckles hearing him. 

RK turns to walk to the bathroom when he spots the condoms packet on the table. He opens the packet and removes the wrapper and puts the wrapper on the floor. 

"Can I see?" Madhu asks excitedly as she walked towards him. 

"Don't tell me you haven't seen one." RK says shocked. 

"I haven't." Madhu replies as she took the condoms in her and rubbed it. "Ewww... it feels so..." 

"If it has to go in then it needs to be like that." RK tells her with a wink. 

"Shut up, RK!" Madhu says blushing as she turned to look back at the condoms. 

"I am glad we picked the same color pen." Madhu tells him smiling. 

"Even me." RK tells her smiling and then takes out two more condoms. 

"Three times in one night? You do think so highly of yourself. Don't you?" Madhu teases him. 

"You are so damn hot. They won't believe if I said we just did it once." RK tells her as he casually dropped the wrappers on the floor and went to the bathroom to flush the condoms missing out on the blush that crept up her face. 

RK was packing his bag after his shower when Madhu gently asks him, "RK, do you really want to lie to them?" 

RK looks at her for a while as he thought it over and says, "I understand, Madhu. You being a girl it is going to be difficult. We'll tell them. I was just thinking about myself. When those three guys are hell bent on something it becomes very frustrating. But I realize it is not the same for a guy and girl. We will tell them the truth." 

"But they might not believe us." Madhu tells him. "Since we spent the whole night together." 

"Hmmm." 

"It's okay. We will lie. I can't take one more of Dipali's speech on male chauvinism and women's right." 

"You sure?" RK asks her. 

"Yeah." Madhu says smiling. "Anyway it is going to be between just the eight of us." 

"Madhu!" Dipali knocks on the door.  

"We are getting late." Trisha tells her. 

Madhu opens the door. "I am ready."  

"How was it?" Dipali asks her with a naughty smile. 

Hearing her, Madhu couldn't control the blush that suddenly filled her face. 

"Wow! That good?" Trishna asks her amazed. 

"Shut up! I'll just get my bag and come. You guys go down." Madhu tells them as she closed the door and turned to look at RK.  

"Why are you blushing?" RK was looking so confused as he asked her that. 

"I don't know." Madhu says blushing. 

RK chuckles hearing her and watches her as she walked to get her overnight back.  

"I'll leave?" Madhu asks him. 

RK looks at her for a while and then just couldn't help it; he walks towards her and gently cups her face. Madhu gasps in shock as he brought his face near hers, his lips a breath away from hers. RK looks at her and sees her eyes closed and lips parted. Understanding her silent permission, he leans down and takes her lips in his.  

They part slowly after the very sloppy first kiss and both start laughing happily. "I need more practice." RK tells her shaking his head. 

"Even me." Madhu tells him happily laughing. 

"MADHU!" Dipali shouts from down. 

Madhu sighs loudly, "I need to go. I'll see you later in office." 

"Okay... bye." RK tells her as he stepped back.  

Madhu smiles at him and slowly walks out. As she walked out she saw the other three guys excitedly running into the room RK and she shared shouting questions at RK. Madhu reaches the main door and turns back to look up at the room and sees RK standing near the railing watching her. She waves at him and he waves back as he ignored the shouting from inside the room. 

"Aren't you glad that you listened to me?" Dipali asks her. 

"Yeah I am." Madhu replies. 

"So... RK is good in bed?" Dipali asks her in a whisper. 

Madhu didn't know how to reply to that and then says "Yes." 

"Very good?" 

"Shut up, Dipali!" Madhu says blushing. 

"That good?" Dipali asks surprised. 

"God, Dipali! Shut it" 

"How many times?" 

"3." 

"Wow! He showed no mercy...huh? It was your first time." Dipali says thoughtfully. 

"Can you quit it?" Madhu asks her exasperated. 

"Fine... fine." Dipali says. "We had a great time."  

Madhu smiles at her. 

"Even you, right?" Dipali asks her. 

"Best night of my life." Madhu replies shyly. 

"Wow!" Dipali says surprised. 

Madhu turns to look at RK's seat and sees it empty. Where did he go? Usually he would be with some girl flirting with her. 

"Then what else?" Dipali asks her. 

"What else?" Madhu asks her back as her thoughts went back to RK. Where is he? Suddenly, someone keeps coffee on her desk; Madhu looks up surprised and sees RK walking away as he winked at her. 

Madhu blushes as she smiled at him.  

Four months later 

"RK, where are you taking me?" Madhu asks as she tried to see through the blind fold. 

"We are almost there." RK tells her as he opened the door and stepped in. 

"You could have at least let me change. Do you have any idea how heavy this dress is?" 

"What? A suhag raat without your bridal dress?" RK asks offended. 

"This is so heavy." 

"I have waited a lot for this day and you are not going to ruin it for me." RK tells her as he brought her to her feet. 

"I hope it is not as messy as our first kiss." Madhu teases him. 

"Now I am a great kisser. Did you forget?" RK asks her. 

"Yeah, you are." Madhu says blushing. "Can I remove the blind fold? Where are we?"  

RK removes the cloth covering her eyes and Madhu opens her eyes and finds herself in that bedroom in Abhay's farmhouse she had shared with RK which had started their journey to love, companionship and now marriage. The room was decorated in flowers for their suhag raat. Madhu turns to look at RK in surprise. 

"We owe this room some mindless sex." RK tells her grinning. 

"It won't be sex." Madhu tells him shyly. 

"Love making?" 

Madhu nods her head happily and RK leans down taking her lips in his kissing her senseless.
