You were dating Tom from three months. He was a very loving, sweet and very kind hearted man. You were very glad you met a man like him.
You worked at a coffee shop as a part timer and he was a regular customer over there.
You were definitely attracted to him but never made a move.
Until one fine day
You were returning home from work, when you passed a quiet empty street, when a man pushed you, grabbed your bag and started running ahead. You got up quickly and was about to run behind him, but strangely he tripped and fell. He got up and was terrified when he saw past you.
To be honest, you were more terrified looking at the man's terror struck expression. You felt a tall figure standing behind you. You turned and saw him, it was Tom. You took a sigh of relief and thanked him for helping you.
From then on, your friendship blossomed and you dont even remember how and when you both had feelings for one another. He was such a fine person, both inside and out. He was extremely polite with people and was indeed very charming.
One day you were relaxing on your sofa, watching tv with Tom. You were engrossed in watching the tv show. Tom was looking at you silently, his face expressions were soft and he had a genuine happy smile on his face.
He was happy to be with you. But he thought, there was something you should know. He had a hint of worry on his face as he imagined the worst possible outcome if at all he tries to tell you the truth.
You looked over at him and he swiftly covered up his worried expression with a warm smile which made his blue eyes shine.
After a moment of silence, he asked nonchalantly
"Did you read the book which I recommended the other day?"
You looked at him and then back to the tv,
"Hmmm a little bit "
"So, what do you think about Loki?", he asked maintaning his tone.
You rolled your eyes. You didnt know why he was so obssessed with Loki.
"He is a trickster... He is a bad guy, bothering people and stuff"
you mumbled still focused on the tv show.
Tom shut his eyes as if trying to control his annoyance and shook his head a little bit
".. misunderstood... He is misunderstood"
He muttered with slightly clentched jaw.
You knew he was kind of sensitive when it comes to Loki. So you patted his thighs softly to give him sympathy..
After sometime you were tired, so you snuggled into his arms a little bit. He put his arms around your shoulders. He breathed in your scent. He was just afraid he wouldn't be able to ever do that if you came to know everything about him. He was living like this in constant fear.
He lifted your head with a slight push of his finger on your jaw. He nudged your head with his forehead, so slowly and intimately that you melted.
He brushed his lips against yours giving you soft kisses.
God, let me just stay in this moment before I tell her. Let me just kiss her one more time... Hold her one more time... Feel her one more time ...
He thought.
As he was beginning to kiss you passionately with his large hands feeling your body, he stopped and pulled himself back.
What was he doing? Would she share the same feeling if she knew the truth? Would she be so hurt and never see his face again? What if she actually decides to end everything whatever they had between them?
Different thoughts ran into his head. He never wanted to break her heart.. he loved her dearly to do that.
It is better to tell her now instead of living in constant worry.. He thought to himself.
"Y/n ... I want to.. talk to you about something"
You adjust yourself comfortably beside him
"Yes.. what is it?"
Tom took a deep breath.
"I am sorry I never told you this before.. just know that it was not my intention to hurt you"
You begin to have a serious look on your face..
