"I'm sorry." He breathed between us, "Thank you for getting some sense into me. I don't know what I'd do without you India. You keep my head on right."
"That's what friends are for." I smiled smally and he closed the distance between us, cupping my cheeks in his big hands, making me feel small and delicate. My heart rate picked up, my breathing stopped altogether as I held my breath, waiting for him to do something, to say something.
"It's not just friends is it?" He whispered, his lips inches from mine. "All this time, I've tried so hard to fight it, to push you away, to block you out, but I can't. It's always been here, between us, and I told myself not to act on it, that you'd find your mate and you'd leave me, and it would have all been for nothing, but I can't do that anymore. I can't sit around and pretend that I'm not in love with you India. We find our mates any day now, and if it's not you, I'll understand, I know the chances are slim, but if I don't kiss you right now, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"If you do kiss me, and you find her, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." I whispered up at him, our breaths mixing in the air in front of us.
He ignored me, his lips meeting mine so softly that I barely registered that they were there. I wrapped my arms around his torso then, pulling him closer to me as he deepened our kiss, his lips moving with mine like they'd been molded just for them. There were not cliche sparks, no sudden desire to fall into bed, no burning for him. This kiss was innocent, and the only one we would be bound to share. I didn't want it filled with regret. I wanted to cherish it, and I would, for the rest of my life.
He pulled away slowly, resting his forehead against mine softly. "I'm not gonna say that I'm sorry, because i'm not." He breathed.
I nodded, pulling myself into his arms as he wrapped his around me, resting his chin against my hair. "I love you India." He said softly.
"I love you too Ty."

"What happened last night cannot happen again. Last night was a mistake. You are my sister's best friend and a lot younger than me." He muttered pacing back and forth only in his boxers running a hand in his already messed up hair.
"You are a coward. You love me, you want me. I can see it in your eyes every time you look at me but you still won't accept me." I yelled frustrated still wrapped in his sheets. "How can you say it was a mistake when we fucked so many times last night." I wiped my tears and stood up in all my naked glory and walked up to him. "A mistake is done once not so many times like we did last night."

"You make me the happiest person ever, Sunshine. I'm so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for not giving up on me." He kissed my temple and held me close.
"I love you more, Tiger. I would never give up on you. You are it for me. You are never getting rid of me." I grinned kissing him on the jaw.
"You and your weird nicknames." He chuckled, running his nose down mine.
-------
"Why can't you just listen to me?" I yelled frustrated as tears streamed down my face. "I can't live like this anymore. Being with you feels like I'm in a prison that I could never get out of. I feel suffocated in this relationship, Utkarsh." As soon as my words hit he gasps.
"You don't mean that, sunshine." His voice is barely above a whisper. "Please tell you don't mean it, you just said it out of anger." He pleaded is face full of anguish.
"I mean it Utkarsh." I mumbled. Tears glistened his eyes as he stared at me with heartbreak written all over his face. I couldn't let him weaken my resolve, wiping my tears away I took a deep breath before saying the words that are going to be the hardest that I've ever spoken.
