Kirti heard a knock on her balcony door, it was late and she was not sure who it could be but the smell of pine and lava invaded her nose, it was beginning to storm what would he be doing here so late? quickly tying her robe she opened one side to find him standing there pouting. " I wanna sleepover to"

I chuckled at how childish he was, pulling him inside I latched the door, before the heavy wind could cause damage to my room, I felt myself being picked up and placed on the bed, and soon to follow where his warms hands holding on to me as if I would disappear, he placed his head on chest and out of habit I began to stroke his hair.

" that night when he hurt me it was you wasn't it?" Leo and I had a huge fight at a party and things took a turn for the worse he left me bloody on the floor, I had caught him cheating on me and when I confronted him about it as  usual  he put the blame on me the result was me becoming his punching bag. Kiran's grip on me tightened. he picked himself up and hovered over me not placing his entire body weight on me.

" the gala was not the first night i saw you , it was when i changed collage and when we worked in the same building i was still learning the ropes of my dad's company and it was near the firm where you were doing your articles , the first time i saw you , you looked so lost i wanted to speak to you but then i found out you were in a relationship and i needed to respect that , but that night at the party when i saw what he did to you , i was beyond pissed however it was not my place as yet to step in but when i saw that he was taking it to far i managed to get some of the warriors to remove him , without drawing to much attention to myself , i was a mess while cleaning you , anger and sadness , that someone as beautiful as you did not deserve this , but then i got thrown over the hedge when i heard him laugh and tell some guys how desperate you were for him , i almost , so close to ending him but my dad stopped me telling me that i need to be calm, how could i ? when i saw you lose yourself slowly after that incident i did not see you again and it broke me i started fooling around more just to get you out of my mind , so you can imagine my excitement when i found out that you were Kaar's sister and then i bumped into you at the mall and then the rest was history. I had kept in touch with kaar and stuff just to see if you were okay and then he told me about your recent breakup and I thought I was too late, you had given up hope on the whole dating thing, every time I saw I just wanted to hold you in my arms, so that night at the club was the only excuse I had, I felt like an idiot after that praying so hard that I did not push you away, and then every time you would see me your face would heat up and yet you would act as if you did not care, but I knew, I knew that I wanted you that I wanted to keep you safe, that I wanted to heal you, that I loved you"

" i saw you to , i used to feel weird around you , not in a bad way but you get what i mean , yes i did lose hope , but then you made me feel something that i did not feel for most my life , i felt like i was more than enough ,for once someone put effort in me without me asking them to , granted we had our small arguments but still , not once during that time did you belittle me or make me feel less of myself , even though you were upset you did not let me go to bed crying , you were mature enough to speak things out making sure i was okay , you did not ignore me , you did not get annoyed with my insecurities you helped me embrace them , you saw the darkest side of me still , loved me , you knew how messy my past was but you chose not to judge me , you gave me comfort and safety , you loved each and every piece of me till i was able to put it back together , you chose me when you could have had anyone else , you saw through me , you saw through my fake persona , you saw how broken i was but you did not shy away from me instead you fought my demons making them dance with yours and bonus was you being an army"

I felt myself tearing up, my heart felt light but my soul felt heavy entwined with his, this connection held so much passion, love, safety, and trust, it made me feel grateful and liberated. she felt his lips finally touch hers, a moment she would remember forever.

THE DAY SHE HAD FOUND HER HOME...

THE END.
