Tides of Love

Chapter 16

The room wasn't silent, the tv was still on but I couldn't see it because the canopy was covering the whole bed but I felt at peace with manik there. I didn't have a fear that darkness would engulf me as long as he was right there.

I laid down beside manik gently putting my foot up on a pillow that was there, manik moves a little closer to me, his arm touching mine.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" I ask turning my head

"Of course"

"Liar, come on tell me"

"if I had one would I really be lying in bed with you trying to sort everything out" he asks

"Not really no"

"Exactly, no I don't have one"

"Why?"

"Because girls are either gold diggers or want to get in my pants"

"And aren't you so cocky to think they want you?" I wondered

"Trust me, If I walk in a club right now, you'd see at least 10 girls on me before I leave"

"Thats called. Being ignorant" I inform

"Confidence, it's called being confident" he says

"You wanna bet?" I ask

"Sure, what if you lose? What do I get?" He asks playfully

"What do you want?" I ask

"Food obviously" he says

"Did you eat the food I left at your house that night?"

"Yup for 2 days and I cleaned the dishes too" he says making me smile

"Manik" he hums

"You can hate me but I swear I didn't want to be stupid with that cheque thing" hearing me he turns a little looking at me, his hand supporting his head as he lays in his side

"Thats the thing nandini, I want to hate you, but something in me can't. I tried to stay away and hate you so much this past couple weeks, I tried to ignore you but I couldn't" my heart skips a beat hearing him

"Now can I say something?" I ask

"As if you'd not say anything if I declined"

"Why can't you jsut be nice, it's like that cockiness comes out, it seeps out you arrogant monster" he chuckles a little hearing me

i couldn't help admire how carefree he looks with his chuckle and I wonder how cute and sweet he would look when he smiles or laughs

"Say it" he orders

"I found a certain kind of peace and comfort in you that I can't describe and no don't let it get to your head, id still kill you if you piss me off"

He smirks leaning closer to my face

"Kill me, I won't say a single thing but"

"But?"

"Keep my lips occupied before you pull the trigger" he whispers

"Why?"

"So I can die feeling those plump lips on mine and the pain won't matter anymore, not when the pleasure is exceeding the pain" my eyes widen hearing him

His eyes were shining a little.

My breath wasn't normal, my heart was beating a few million miles an hour and my head was getting dizzy just by his words and his proximity

"My hands need to be griping you tight so I won't have the urge to move away, my body needs to be pressed against yours so I could feel your heart beat as soon as I lose mine"
