13 Reasons Why... I 💓 you

#8

I love you,
Cuz you never push me to do anything I'm not ready for!

They were sitting on her bed, kissing each other frantically. Lips on lips, sucking hard; biting, molding together. Tongues busy in sensous exploration of the mouth, taking time to absorb every inch and yet doing it with such intensity that they'd soon be breathless.

Niti was on Parth's lap, legs on both sides of his thighs, her fingers fisting his hair and his hands roamed her body. She felt his hands moving downwards, she squeezed her eyes further at the sheer force of arousal she felt. She was still kissing him, unable to pull away, losing herself more and more in the moment.

He took his time, hands lingering on the waist, warm and firm on her skin and then gently but suddenly in one perfect stroke he slipped his hands from her waist right down inside her jeans.

However as soon as his fingertips, grased the ligning of her intimates, her hands flew out and grabbed his wrist, abruptly pulling away. He looked at her with dazed expression at the sudden loss of contact. He looked utterly confused, but not really dismayed maybe, she couldn't tell.

"Don't" she said panting. She was unable to say any further; she gulped hard struggling to breathe. He retreated his hand promptly. He might've not know the why and what of the matter but her saying that was enough for him to withdraw and step back.

"Okay..." he trailed off in a whisper, giving her the much needed space to continue.

She looked at him and he held her a little tighter, staring staright back. His eyes searching hers, giving her the confidence to continue. She drew in a breath.

"I well... I don't think I'm ready, yet" she said, her voice hoarse from either the kissing or the emotion or maybe both. "That's what I wanted to say - wait. 'Wait', 'Don't' it's all the same in this situation I suppose" she said with an embarassed chuckle. She lowered her eyes and a tear instantly fell from her eyes. "I'm sorry" she said in a small voice.

"Hey, hey, hey" he said holding her face up so she could face him, "you have nothing to be sorry about" he said reassuringly, rubbing away the tears she had shed. He kissed her forehead and then carefully pushing her off his lap, he put her on the bed. Parth was very muscular and Niti had a very lean, small frame, so it wasn't much work really.

Niti moved away and back so that she could lean against the headboard, she felt more at ease that way. Parth turned towards her and took both of her hands in his.

"You're right, wait - don't, whichever, it doesn t really make a difference. The point here for both of them is that you're not ready now but at some point you will be" he said and then rushed to correct it to, "at least I hope you will be. And till that day that time, whenever it is, I am happy to wait" he had scooted closer while saying that.

Niti sat up and looked at him with so much fondness that it could melt him right there. She bent forward and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you" she said sincerely.

"There is nothing to thank" he said in a pitch higher than usual, utterly confused as to why would she say that. "Niti sex or anything sexual is an act or a gesture between and involving two people. So obviusly whatever you want to do must be in accordance with the other person. Yeah there are times when people try new things they previously thought were gross, or too kinky, or uninteresting or something but that's with their consent and if they don't like it, they don't do it ever again" he said seriously.

"I know what you're saying but still thank you for understanding, not everybody does" she said honestly.

"Well then they are dicks! It's someone else's body and their will and if they're refusing something, you don't do it. There's no place for getting angry about this."

"Well...all men should be like you" she said and pulled him down to lie down with her.

"So we're okay?" He asked after a while.

"Mhmm. I just feel a little bad... for doing that to you-" he cut her off mid sentence.

"Niti we've gone over this" he said in a tired voice, letting out a sigh. She snuck out of his embrace.

"I know I shouldn't be feeling bad about this! It's my right and it's also my choice. And I said no, cause I did not feel comfortable. And you're right, this is how a healthy relationship works... but I do feel a little bad, I can't help it. I wouldn't normally feel like this. It's just that you're a gem of a person Parth; most teenage guys are just creeps and unfortunately that's what we're used to. I'd bash someone's skull in if they tried to touch me without my will but at the same time when someone does the exact opposite, like you did, respecting my word, it's so unexpected, that I don't know how to react to it. You're fun, sweet, gentle and super nice- how does one expect that in a sea of toxic masculinity? Perhaps that's why I feel bad about this; I don't wanna hurt your feelings!"

"You didn't" Parth said clearing his throat, himself taken aback by the confession. 'Wow in most cases men suck really' he thought. "I'm not hurt or embarassed. In a situation like this, you hurt someone's ego not their feelings. And I really could do without the ego, have plenty on my shoulders already" he said to lighten then mood a little.

"We'll have bed breaking sex" she said and his eyes widened, "not now but whenever and I'm sure you'll be incredible at it" she said with a wink.

"We have to make sure that it's not in either of our houses though. Hiding a broken bed would be difficult" he said and heard her give a hearty laugh.

A/N: Wow we've come far along... I hope you'll stick on for the rest of it!
