Comforting Kiss

2. My Saviour

Her apartment was on the 3rd floor so she didn't have to think twice to take the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. Once she got inside her apartment she straight away went to her bed. She held the pillow tight and thought about the event that happened today. She could feel the tears burning her eyes. Usually, when she was upset, it didn't take her much time to cry her heart out but gradually she had gotten stronger.

But today, thoughts spiral within her mind. She was thinking about her parents, Rajat, Ram.

She thought about all those happy times spent together with her parents, how spoilt she was and how they'd done everything to see her happy. She realised how weird she had acted in front of Ram today, he had no idea about her life, about her boyfriend. He was only flirting a little, just like any other guy. And she thought about Rajat, her boyfriend. They have been dating for 5 months now.

Six months ago, he had visited her office for a conference where she was in charge, they had exchanged their contacts and soon after they were into a relationship. She always felt like they made a mistake by taking this step really early, but he was kind and he understood her well. He stayed in Pune and visited her every once in 2 weeks. Their relationship had been steady until he got busy in his work and couldn't give time to Priya and that too when she was in a stage where she needed someone, someone to hold her, tell her everything is fine, just be there for her.

She picked up her phone and went through her contacts "Should I call him? What if he is busy?" her thought process ran. He was her boyfriend but she always hesitated to call him, with time she was growing uncomfortable, which was the reason for their constant fights.

Just then the front bell rang, she contemplated opening the door because it was too late but when it didn't stop ringing, she went for the door.

When the door opened, Rajat was on the other side. His face tired, holding a small duffel bag.

"Hey," he said, stepping in and kissing her on her cheeks.

"You didn't tell me you were coming," she asked closing the door and following him.

"I wanted to surprise you. Thought about spending the new year eve with you" he smiled taking off his shoes.

When he was done, he stepped closer to Priya and held her by her waist.

"I missed you" as he said that he moved forward for a kiss. While kissing him, Priya could feel her heart cry, she didn't know if it was because she missed him or if it was because she had grown more uncomfortable around him. It wasn't like they were kissing for the first time but there was an unsettling feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Once the kiss broke, he pulled her more by her waist and stared at her with a lustful look. She knew what that meant but she wasn't liking the feeling. She tried pushing his hand away and freeing herself. "Leave me Rajat," she said softly staring directly at his eyes.

He pinned her against the wall and went for the kiss again. This time though, the kiss was rough and she could hear him moan. She wanted to get out of his embrace, she wanted this kiss to be over.

With all her force, she pushed him away and gave him a disgusting look "I said stop!"

He looked at her in disbelieve "What is this Priya? I came to see you after such a long time and look at you pushing me away" saying this he stood in front of her again.

"Stop right there." She warned.

"Or else?" he questioned "What will you do? What can you even do?"

Priya felt hot tears running down her face, she huffed "Exactly, what can I even do? You are strong, you are a man, you can have your ways with me even if I don't want to right?"
