It scared me. I didn't know what I was supposed to say to Melina. I never knew she loved me... and didn't tell me. I only want her to be happy, I want to make sure that this marriage isn't hell for her. But then again here we are, sitting on opposite sides of the room not talking.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask looking up from the ground. She too looks up and meets my gaze, her eyes are filled with tears.
"I didn't want to lose you," She sobs looking down at her feet. I feel upset that she thought she would lose me. I stand up from the chair and make my way over to her. I sit next to her and feel her tense by my slight touch. She's so scared to lose me, and to be honest I don't want to lose her... she's one of my best friends.
"Hey... please don't cry," I coo wrapping my arm around her shoulder. She slowly moves closer to me and rests her head on my shoulder as her sobs get softer.
"I'm so sorry Aman," she whimpers. I hate seeing her like this... it honestly breaks my heart. She shouldn't be so scared to tell me this, yes I admit I'm shocked but never in a million years would I leave her. She has been such a close friend forever and now she's my wife. I don't want her to be upset I want her to be happy.
"Don't be sorry, you have nothing to be sorry about," I say resting my head on hers.
"It's okay Melina it's okay," I whisper while closing my eyes. I hear her take a deep breath in and deep breath out, she's relaxing.
"I'm willing to try out this marriage," I whisper while opening my eyes. Melina slowly moves her head from under mine sitting up and staring at me with wide eyes.
"Your w-w-what?" She asked with tears forming again in her eyes.
"I'm willing to try," I smile at her. A smile tugs at her lips and some tears leave her eyes. She jumps over to me engulfing me into a hug and sending me to lay flat on my back. I laugh as she hugs me tightly in this very uncomfortable hug. She unhooks her arms from around my neck and sits up smiling down at me. I lift my head up to hers and place a light kiss on her lips showing her that I'm ready to try. A heavy red blush fills her cheeks as she quickly turns away.
"We should get ready for our banquet," she says with excitement in her voice.
"Okay," I agree.
"It's our first meeting with everyone since we were assigned and finished our new case," she smiles at me while standing up.
"Haan, it should be fun... I get to see my best friend," I smirk and her smile falls slightly.
"Who?" She questions as I stand up too be at her height.
"Aisha, who else?" I laugh playfully. Melina looks down and I roll my eyes playfully.
"Hey... your my wife, Aisha is just my best friend... plus she's dating someone, I'm loyal and so is she... tonight's gonna be great," I smile while lifting Melina's chin. She smiles at me and gives me a hug.
"Thank you Aman," Melina whispers. I smile and run my hand through her hair. I'm going to make this marriage work... I'm not going to fail.

"Aish!" I shout opening my arms for my best friend. She comes running over to me and gives me a big hug.
"That's the last time you go away for so long!" She laughs into my blazer while still hugging me tightly.
"Okay okay," I laugh smiling like a child on Christmas.
"I've missed you so much Aman!" Aisha says pulling back from our hug. She's smiling but there are tears forming in her eyes.
"Hey hey, now what's this?" I laugh wiping away her tears.
"I just miss you so much Aman!" She says jumping back into my arms for another hug.
"Well do another case together soon! I promise Aish," I laugh while hugging Aisha with all my power.
"We better!" She laugh pulling back from our hug with a huge smile on her face.
"Aman!" I hear another female voice yell from behind me. I turn around and see Courtney coming towards me at a quick pace but also with a smile plastered on her face.
"Courtney!" I smile walking her way and engulfing her in a hug. Man it seems like forever since I've seen everyone here.
"You look really nice tonight," I smile pulling back from our hug.
"Don't I always look good?" She questions playfully hitting me on the shoulder.
"Well that dress is very fitting and shiny," I laugh stuffing my hands in my pockets.
"Gene helped me pick it out," Courtney beams with excitement.
"You two a thing yet," I lean in and whisper like we are talking about gossip.
"I think so!" Courtney squeals. I laugh slightly at this and shake my head.
"AMAN!" I hear male voices yelling from behind me. I turn around only to be tackled down to the ground by Gene, Rajveer, Kabir, Arush and Rohit.
"Your finally back!" They all yell almost in unison as they scramble to get up.
"Nothing like getting tackled to the ground every once in a while," I laugh getting help from Aisha and Courtney to stand up.
"We've missed you Bhai!" My two brothers say engulfing me into a hug. I laugh and slightly push them off.
"Well, seems like training has made you too stronger," I laugh hitting my two brothers shoulders.
"So did!" They laugh moving aside.
"Always good to see the F.B.I's clowns Gene, Rajveer, and Kabir," I laugh.
"Always good to see the mighty... hail and hearty!" Kabir jokes.
"Shut up yaar," I laugh giving them all small hugs.
"So where's the wife," Rajveer asks winking at me.
"Around, don't know where she's gotten too," I say as Aisha comes over next to me and hugs me for the fiftieth time.
"Aman?" I hear my wife's name say from behind me. I turn around with Aisha glued to my side, my jaw drops at what Melina is wearing. It's a sliver dress with a slit down the side showing her leg and 2-3 inch heels.
"Hey," I smile regaining my posture. My wife looks beautiful.
"Hey Melina!" Courtney says running over to her and crushing her in a hug. Aisha detaches herself from me and smiles at Melina.
"Good to see you too Court," Melina laughs as Courtney pulls back from the hug.
"It's always a pleasure," Rajveer says smiling at Melina.
"Good to see you," Kabir says shyly. No matter what, he's always been shy around girls.
"It's been too long Naa?" Gene says playfully. I walk over to Melina and wrap my arm around her waist pulling her close to me. I see a light blush fill her cheeks and she looks over and smiles at me.
"You look stunning," I whisper so only she can hear.
"No to bad yourself," she giggles with the blush becoming a dark red one. I smile and lean over placing a kiss on her cheek feeling her wither in my arms. She really does love me... maybe I should try and love her... tonight will show her that I'm ready to be her husband and do everything I have to do for her.

Melina's P.O.V

This night has been... magical. It's really like something switched it Aman's head. He's been clinging to my side all night and when we danced... I felt loved. I felt special. I felt wanted. Every time he would wrap his arm around my waist protectively I would get excited inside. He kissed me a couple times on the cheek making turn bright red and burn up. He has such an affect on me... it's unexplainable. I love him so much, and he's trying with me. When he first saw me tonight his jaw dropped, and he looked at me with so many emotions. Ever since everyone started to leave the banquet... he's gotten a bit tense but some excitement showing in his eyes. So currently I'm standing here with Aisha and Courtney as the last few agents make their way out from the banquet.
"I feel like Aman is planning something," I sigh frustrated while looking over at Aisha and Courtney. Aisha has a pink blush filling her cheeks as she suspiciously takes a sip from her drink.
"Aish?" I ask as they remain quiet.
"Court?" I ask watching how their posture changes.
"What aren't you guys telling me," I ask standing in front of them now. Courtney looks at Aisha and gives a worried look. They look back to me and smile slightly. Then I feel and arm being wrapped around my waist pulling me back a step. Then a kiss is planted on my neck.
"Mind if I steal my wife?" Aman asks resting his head on my shoulder.
"Steal away!" Aisha and Courtney say with smirks on.
"Come with me," Aman whispers huskily to me. I feel like I'm in a trance and move unexpectedly with him. We go to the valet and get our car. Aman drives us home is silence and with tension thick in the air. As we arrive to our home I feel confused on why we left. I get out of the car and follow Aman inside. As the front door starts to close Aman slightly pushes me against the wall. His hands barricade me in and he leans in kissing me. It takes me a second to realize that my husband is kissing me on his own for the very first time. This wasn't just any kiss though, it was passionate soft and caring. I respond by moving my hands up and hooking them around his neck. He smiles slightly against my lips but continues to kiss me. I've never felt this way before. He breaks our kiss and starts to trail kisses down my neck. I snap my head back in pleasure allowing him more access to my neck. He takes it and lightly bites down on one spot making an unexpected moan leave my lips. He pulls back and presses his body against mine leaving no space between us. What happened to him? Whatever it is I'm loving it.
"Tonight's our night," he whispers huskily. My hands move to his blazer and take it off as he lets me. His hands run down my sides leaving me wanting nothing more then for him to go further.
"But Aman..." I breath trying to comprehend this new side of him. He leans forward trapping me in another make out session, this time I respond immediately. My hands move to the front of his shirt starting to unbutton it as he smiles lightly against my lips. I wrap my leg around his while kicking off my heels. I never thought this could happen... never.
"Are you ready?" He asks a bit hesitantly. I bite down on my bottom lip before nodding my head. A sly smile crosses his lips as he lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. A small giggle erupts from my throats as he walks us through the house and upstairs. When we reach the bedroom he closes the door behind him with his foot. He then walks us over to the bed and places me down gently on the bed. He leans down and pulls me into a kiss that feels so passionate. I've never done this, I've never kissed a boy... let alone had a boyfriend. I'm so new at all of this, because the only person I wanted was Aman... and now I have him. I push myself back on the bed and Aman crawls atop of me placing his hands on each side of me. I can't believe we are actually doing this... I can't believe he actually wants me back.
