He rises from his office chair, and continues his eyes locked on her. He unbuttons the pinnacle two buttons of his dress shirt and then pulls it from his slacks.
"Oh shit," she whispered, and then cringed, hoping he didn't hear her curse.
She watch...

I take a deep breath and allow Jannat to leave the room without incident. I need to speak to Asad alone anyway. I'm just not very excited about it.
"Asad-"
He holds up his hand and interrupts me. I know that this is an important moment in our friendship, and I need to stand down.
"How long has this been going on?" he asks through gritted teeth.
"I never touched her in wrong way until after her eighteenth birthday. Yesterday, to be exact." I spoke with calm.
"But you wanted to touch her before then." It isn't a question. He's stating something we both know, but he needs to hear me say it.
"Asad, I've loved Jannat from the first moment I saw her as a baby. When your parents passed away I knew I would always be there for you both. You're a brother to me. I would never take advantage of your trust, or take advantage of her. Come on, man, you know me better than that."
"I thought I knew you. I walk into...into...I don't know what the fuck this is! But I'm blindsided. Imagine being in my position. I love you like my own family, but that's my sister. She's a child!"
I take another deep breath to calm myself. I need him to accept this.
"I know this is all hard to take, but you know me. You know the life I live. I'm not some predator looking for a child bride. I love Jannat. The feelings I've had for her have changed as we've both grown. You of all people should know I don't take love lightly. I don't do relationships. Think about it, when was the last time you saw me with a woman? When was the last time you even heard me talk about a woman? I ain't interested in female species neither want to come in their contact except Jannat. I've waited my whole life for her. Even if this is the end of our friendship, I want you to know that it won't be the end of Jannat and me. I will always love and protect her. She will always be my priority. I want you in our lives, and I want us to be okay." He stares at me as if he's trying to make a decision.
