Sexual Tension. Everybody misdefines, misuses it. Sexual tension is the tension between two people. But it's only there when both sides are feeling the attraction. If you're attracted to someone, but your attraction isn't reciprocated, that can only be defined as sexual attraction. Now this moment, between Bella and I, proves the sexual tension that has been there since day one. - I pulled him to me by his tie, desperately as he smashed his lips onto mine once again. I could still hear the music coming from the festival. My mind was foggy, my quick movements proved my desperation, and Brian, on top of me, kept reminding me of the situation I was in. All that time, all those months, all those memories and all that dance, it all somehow led to this moment and made us finally explode. I tried to take his tie and shirt off as my hands wandered around the buttons, he was driving me crazy. "Shhhh. Calm down." he said, looking at me with condescending eyes and pushing my arms to my sides. Asshole. What happens if the love between the childhood lovers builds up to hate and sexual tension. Can they deal with these well? Or can they deal with them at all? **Everything except for the songs are owned by me and cannot be used for any purpose! Thank you.**

Two individuals that felt hostility toward each other cross paths again, in a babysitting job. Will they feel hatred? or maybe... affection?

"I'm in love with you," he said. His voice was rough. Low. And in Marathi-for the first time. He never spoke in his mother tongue before. But now... he did. For me. And in that moment, I didn't know whether to smile... or shatter. Was I supposed to feel happy? Because all I felt was numb. I couldn't believe this was real. Not him. Not this moment. It felt like a cruel, twisted fantasy. No. No, this can't be happening. It's my birthday. Maybe I drank too much. Maybe I'm hallucinating. Or maybe... he's playing with me. Again. "You're not lying... right?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. My heart pounded like a warning siren. This felt like a game. A trap. His expression didn't change- but something in his eyes shifted. Dark. Unreadable. Dangerous. Why now? Why me? Tears stung the corners of my eyes, and I hated that he saw them. Because the truth is- I don't know how to react to a man who once broke me... now telling me he loves me. Not when his love feels like poison- sweet on the surface, deadly underneath. And yet, a part of me wanted to believe him. Wanted to fall. Even if I knew I'd be falling onto broken glass. Because that's what his love is. Beautiful. Addictive. Painful. And now it's mine.
