Tides of Love

Chapter 27

"Im sorry" I whisper

"Its fine, sit back" he says grabbing the pizza from the table

My stomach sinks a little, see this is exactly why i didn't think I could be in a relationship, because he was right, he had said I ruin a lot of things and I do. I ruined the best moment of my life, I ruined our little confession, I ruined it all.

"Don't chug it" he says handing me my can of coke opening it for me

He also grabs a small disposable plate placing a single slice of pizza on the plate because he knows if I see way too much food, I won't be able to eat at all. He knows I would eat a stomach full only if I have small portions in front of me

the tv turns on and he puts on my favourite show, Lucifer since we had started watching it together from the beginning because Manik had never seen it before.

I couldn't even chew, I couldn't eat right now, my eyes become blurry as tears run down my cheeks, I lean back a little nibbling on the pizza hoping he doesn't notice. I can't believe I am crying over a mistake I made like seriously.

"Okay enough" he says grabbing the plate from me and his placing them on the side table beside the bed

I wiped my tears right away and sat up to look at him, he shakes his head picking me up effortlessly placing me in between his legs facing him. I couldn't help but face plant onto his chest holding his shirt

"I'm sorry" I cry in his chest

"Dare you say sorry" his voice was calm as ever

his hand caressing my hair and back gently calming me down

"Shhh it's enough, stop crying, there is no reason to cry" he whispers

"I didn't wanna make you upset"

"Nandini love, I won't lie, yes I did get upset the way you said things and the way you worded it but it's okay"

"No no, I I took our most special moment and then I ruined it like I always do. He he was right, he said I do ruin things and see I did. I swear I didn't mean to, I wanted to say I love you but I wanted you to know I come with scars" I cry in his chest

"I come with scars as well, we both do but sweetheart that doesn't mean I can't love you"

"You do" I whisper

"shhh shhh look at me, lets talk this through okay" he says. Kissing the top of my head

I nodded sitting up in between his legs looking in his eyes.

"You aren't ready to tell me your past and that is totally okay. I haven't told you mind either and thats okay too. i would never force you to tell me anything, I will wait as long as you want Nandini. do you understand that?" He asks wiping my tears

"Yes" I whisepr

"Now back to my words.. I love you Nandini, I do, I love you so much and there is no lie in that"

"I love you too" I whisper fidgeting with my fingers looking at my hand

"Say it again" he says tiling my chin up

My eyes find their way to his as I get lost in them

"Say it again Nandini" he repeats

"I love you" I whisper

"Now with more confidence" he says

"I love you" I say it again wiping my nose

"Ahh ewww what is with you" he screams when I wipe the back of my hand on his arm
