Pain and heartbreak are over

"Veer Bhai." Ritwik was surprised to see his brother in front of him, well, of course, he did expect some action on Veer's part, not as far as showing up in daylight, unarmed.

"I wanted to clear a few things Ricky, can I have a moment." He said after clearing his throat, his eyes traveled over her fragile form on the bed, she was helpless right now, so hurt that he bet it would hurt to breathe, bandages covered her on several parts, no matter how hurt she was, he didn't miss the fierce look in her eyes, she was angry at him and he didn't need to hear any words from her mouth to know how much.

"No, I am afraid not after what I learned about you." Ritwik acted like he had been betrayed in the worst way, Veer sighed, "I know you know." He almost seethed, "She told you didn't she?" he cocked his head looking at Pratha over Ritwik's shoulder, "You knew before, you know now, that's an old story."

"So? What are you here for? Trying to pick up my girlfriend in front of me?" Ritwik moved to the right blocking his view of Pratha's face. "She's not your girlfriend." Veer spoke firmly, "Get out of my way."

"How dare you!" this time Pratha spoke with gritted teeth, she moved Ritwik out of the way, Looking at him angrily, "You have no shame at all, do you? You tried to kill me god damn it!"

"Pratha." he said in a low voice but the voice held command, "Lower your voice the whole hospital can hear you."

"Well, it should." Ritwik interfered, "How long are you going to expect her to take this from you Veer? How much more selfish are you?"

"I didn't do anything." He said saving them all time, "I did not cause this." He looked at Pratha, who looked confused, "Why would I be threatened by you?" he looked at her fractured arm, then at her face, "You wouldn't dream risking me." he said in a mocking tone, puckering his lips and blinking. She frowned looking away from him, "You're playing me, you know I can destroy you."

"You're scared shitless that she'll expose you." Ritwik grinned sitting on the side of Pratha's bed, holding her weak hand. Veer rolled his eyes, "She knows that if I wanted her dead, she'd be dead."

Pratha looked at him with hatred almost, she even felt some of it, she never thought she could, but she did. Ritwik was amused looking side to side between them.

Veer continued with a teasing tone, "You know what's my reason to not cause this sweetie?"

She didn't answer but Veer still went on, "Because I don't fucking care, I can get rid of you as easy as this." He snapped his fingers, "I didn't remember I guess, what can I say, busy week." He shrugged. Pratha bit her lip as tears of anger started filling her eyes, the area around her big brown orbs was red almost as she seethed, "Get out."

Veer nodded, "Yes, I'll let your 'boyfriend' take care of you, I have a busy day planned."

"I'll destroy you to the point where you'll tear blood, Veer." She swallowed thickly wiping her tears as they rolled down her cheeks, "I promise you that, baby, this miss nobody promises you that you're going to pay."

"You're so cute." He raised his brows at her then looked at Ritwik who got up from her side, "Veer bhai leave."

Veer looked at them both with disgust before leaving the room, Pratha balled her fists, "I have decided, I will do what I didn't think I would, I don't care if he kills me or whatever."

"Good." Ritwik turned to her, "The sooner you do this, the quicker we get everything."

"So his wife needs proof of him cheating right, I'll give her a disaster to deal with."

"What do you mean?" Ritwik asked with an arched brow, "You wanted a video right? There is a video."

"Video? As in a sex tape?"

"Yes, we'll leak that, it's the same tape Ratan Bagchi was blackmailing Veer for, he had a private investigator following us around, and the investigator had some things filmed, I never wanted to- but I just want to win now." she sat up straight. Ritwik swallowed thickly, "But Ratan is dead, he was shot last year when- did Veer.."

Pratha nodded, "The proof is buried along with Ratan."

"You know we can kill two birds with one stone right? Veer will rot in jail if Ratan's dead body is found." Ritwik smirked. Pratha too grinned, "I know. Veer will get exactly what he asked for, while you and I will get whatever he has."

PAST

"Are you going to listen to me?" He said standing in the middle of the room, while she was pacing around with messy hair, red cheeks, and nose, tears still running down her eyes as she stuffed clothes into her bag, "No."

"So you're leaving?"

"Yes." She may have said it the millionth time that day, she zipped up her bag, "This was a mistake." She picked up the bag with all her effort and pulled it behind her, eyes looking anywhere but him, she wanted to be strong. "Pratha let the fucking bag go." He was finally a little annoyed by her turning down his effort to talk to her. She looked up at him with anger, with a groan she threw it to the side, "Fine keep it!" She picked up her handbag and went for the door. He held her elbow turning her to him, "What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with you?" she shouted, "Let me go."

"You're not leaving." He said firmly holding both her arms, "I was angry."

"Right, that's what you do every time, you get angry and take it out on me." she cried, "And I am always patient because I love you, but you don't even care about that, do you?"

"Pratha I fucked up okay, can you calm down for a second so we can talk?" he said holding her in place, she shook her head, "I don't want to fight because you're going to win no matter what I say, I forgave a lot of things I shouldn't have already. I can't." She tried to get herself free but he pulled her closer, "Pratha why are you doing this to us? Why are you breaking this over people who don't matter."

"Us? There is no US, it was ME all this time Veer, because US means people who are together, who mean something to each other, and we both know I am nothing to you other than a worthless lying slut." Tears ran down her cheeks as she said the words he had used about her, "Pratha I was pissed, I didn't mean it."

"I don't know that not anymore. I was stupid to think I can see right through you and understand you, but I can't." She shook her head pushing his hands off her, "I know what I feel, I know I'll miss you, it's going to hurt but I can't stay with a man who disrespects me, who has zero ounces of love for a woman who changed her life for him."

"Baby-" he tried to hold her but she stepped back, "No just stick to the 'worthless slut', at least It was honest." She turned and walked out leaving him in the apartment.

It had been a whole week of him trying to see her and her avoiding him, she had delayed all her campaigns with the company, he knew her resignation would come sooner or later, he had thought about 'forgetting and moving on ' but on day 3 he realized it wasn't working, she was on his mind. Everything, every moment they had would replay in his head. His cocaine-high head would just think about her. Worrying him over the fact that he lost her, the most beautiful girl he had laid eyes on. The only girl who knew him and loved him for it. Her big innocent eyes would torture him throughout the day and at night, he would just replay that memory of her sleeping in his arms so peacefully, she made him feel so needed. So important, he wanted to feel that again.

The knock on his bedroom shook him out of his thoughts, he looked up to see his wife in his room and after a moment crawled up his bed, "Hey."

"I don't recall asking for you." He raised a brow, lying back on his pillow, she huffed, "My Parents are home this weekend, I don't want them to ask me questions." She rolled her eyes lying back on the other pillow, "I bet you're gloating inside."

"Right." He chuckled, "Kavya, when are you going to realize that you're not a pageant-competent teenager? You think the world revolves around you, this behavior is concerning." He said sarcastically, she flipped her hair, "You still love me."

"You're delusional." He reached for a long-forgotten motivational book on the nightstand to avoid conversation. She pouted, "What's got you so moody?"

"Don't worry you can't do anything about it, I didn't chip a nail or something." He cleaned the top of the book opening to read it, she rolled over to his side, crawling up his body, and she held the book out of his hands, "We can be more than friends tonight." She bit her lip, her hands smoothly running up his chest, he bit the inside of his cheek, his hand cupping the side of her smooth face, "Just tonight?"

"Depends." She winked leaning in but before she'd crash her lips against him he pushed her back to her pillow, "Yes, I rather have your parents know of our 'wonderful' marriage." He said bitterly before Kavya would say anything, his phone started beeping and he and his wife both looked at the clock which struck 12, he picked it up and went towards the distant corner, "This is Sameer Khosla, sir, I am sorry I am calling right now."

"That's okay. What's the issue?"

"Sir, the new model, Pratha Gujral has been caught carrying drugs at a party at a club, she's at the station right now, they called me here since she hasn't reported to the company in a week, I thought I'd ask."

If Veer would be drinking something, he'd choke on it probably, Pratha in a 'club'? and carrying drugs, he did hear of her attending a party on Friday. Was she going to parties for drugs?

"Okay don't worry about it, I can go and check." He looked at Kavya, who was looking confused. "Sir, I can go and wrap it up, you don't need to come."

"I'll handle this Khosla, just please control the media around, I do not want a single word about it in press." He turned and saw Kavya tying up her robe and coming towards him, "I'll see you in a bit." He hung up and started going towards the bathroom to get dressed when she asked, "What is going on?"

"Nothing."

"Tell me." Her snarky tone rattled him today, He hissed, "Kavu if I wanted to tell I would have told you the first time." She bit the inside of her cheek, "I am your wife Veer." He scoffed, "You don't have to remind me, I will never be able to forget such a tragedy."

"So? You don't have to live with me, divorce me and I am gone, free me and yourself of this vomit-inducing marriage." She shouted at him this time, he ran a hand in his hair, "Kavu I don't have time for this-"

"And you don't have the guts, you know how much of a 'tragedy' my life has been with you for the past seven years? I can't even remember the number of men I turned down for you, the opportunities I let go so I could be your wife, but you're a sore loser, Veer." She shook her head at him, he rolled his eyes and went towards the bathroom, shutting the door on her. He could still hear her shouting, "I know you can hear me! Being married to you wasn't a party for me either, I married you because you were Vikram Oberoi's heir." He changed into a black button-up and dark jeans, he opened the door to see she was still standing there. He huffed, "You wanting to marry me should have been my first clue, how could I think that a bitch like you would want to settle down."

"You thought that because I made you think that way, I made you think from your dick, you thought I'd be in love with you?" she rolled her eyes, her voice had lowered, she grinned seeing how close he was to be hurt and vulnerable just like she liked him to be, borderline suicidal and worthless, "I never loved you, you might be rich, good in bed- but there's nothing that impresses me or has ever, you were easiest one to trick into a marriage so I did." She shrugged, "You were what I predicted, a loser."

"Say whatever you want, it's not going to make me divorce you, you used seduction last time and now you used vulnerability- it doesn't work anymore I guess, I predict ummm you're not as smart as I assumed you to my darling." He raised his brows at her and left the room leaving her standing startled for a moment, usually, she'd break him but she couldn't today. How? Why? Usually, she'd hurt him to the point where she'd feel the disappointment radiate out of him but not today, was he finally 'over' her?

"It will be taken care of." Sameer said in a lower voice to him he nodded, "I don't want any controversy, Khosla, she'll not spend the night here."

"I'll get her out as soon as possible, I've already told them about you, sir." Sameer opened the door to his car, Veer got out of his seat and went inside the four-floor gray building in front of him. Officer Ankush took him to his cabin, treating him with the utmost respect, "I was very surprised to find out that she's associated with your company. I will give her an out due to your guarantee."

"I am sure it won't happen again, Mr. Khosla has already paid the fine I assume."

"He has, I have stopped any further investigation and also made sure this stays off her record, it's because you are here personally." He pressed a button on which another officer showed up, he passed him a file, then gestured him to go. Veer nodded, "You'll be favored. Just keep this to yourself."

"Surely."

After a five-minute silence and faint voices at the back, the door was heard and he turned his head to see a tripping Pratha, she looked unrecognizable to him, in a bad way though. Her hair was messy, she under eyes were stained with smudged liner, a hot pink strapless dress that didn't cover her knees and maybe the most skin-tight dress he had seen her in, she bent down taking off her heels, he stood up, "That's her."

She blinked looking at him, "Heyyyy." She was heavily drunk, that much he could see, he didn't want her drunk-talk their entire relationship to these people. "Let's go."

"I can't – can't go! I am arrested." She said in a shaky voice, "Umm I'll be facing a looooong time here."

"Shut up I got this." He whispered near her ear, "Let's get out of here and we can talk."

"Ooooh." She giggled whilst getting dragged out by him, Sameer nodded at him on the way out, He plainly said, "I am dropping her home, just keep the press away Khosla, nothing happened."

"Don't worry, I got it covered."

"Good." He pulled her outside, she hissed as the cold air hit her, he could hear the clattering of her teeth, she moved closer to him to help her shaking arms, he opened the door to his car and made her sit, rushing over to the other side, soon he was driving away from the station, she finally sighed of relief when he turned the heater on for her, he reached for his jacket in the back and threw it over her legs, "Wear this."

"Mm." she murmured with half-moon eyes, "Where are we going?" he heard her whisper, "Home." He said looking off the road for a moment to her, she sat up shaking her head, "N-no Stop the car."

"Pratha-" He held her arm seeing her pull at the door handle, "Veer stop the car!"

"O-okay. He pulled over to the side of the bridge they were crossing, she opened the car door and stumbled out, he too got out following her as she covered wore the jacket standing near the reeling of the bridge, taking deep breathes "Pratha." he murmured her name softly when he reached her, touching her shoulder, she moved away from him, "Don't."

"Why are you doing this?" he snapped, "What is this?" he looked at her from down to up, "You know you look like a freaking mess."

She shook her head, "Please leave me alone."

"I am not leaving you alone Pratha." he grasped her arm turning her to him, she still didn't look at him, "You will eventually, you'll leave me one day when you're done." She pursed her lips, "I just wanted to forget you, just for one night."

"Why would you want to?" his hand caressed the side of her face, "Don't you love me?"

"I do and it hurts me. I've never felt so empty Veer." Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him, "I've lost so much this year that it's scary now, I lost mom and dad, the life I loved when I could count on someone, my family loved me." she wiped her dark eyes, "Then I lost them, right in front of my own eyes, and for months I use to dream of ways and ideas, that I could save them- if I wasn't so fucking helpless Veer, maybe I could but I can't turn back time."

"Let's just go home, we can talk about this at home." He held her chin up, wiping her cheeks from tears.

She shook her head, "Then I met you Veer, I hated how good it felt to be near you baby." She clutched his collar crying, "You made me forget everything."

"You'll get sick, let's just-"

She started speaking over him, "No one looks at me the way you do, no one appreciates me like you- I know I am an idiot to think that I could have you to myself, that I could feel so loved again." She cupped his face, "I know you didn't love me, I know you were distracting yourself, but I wanted to change that, I wanted to make you love me, I know what you think- that you're too far gone in this darkness- that I can't handle it, but I can Veer, even if you don't tell me, I can see it in your eyes and I don't care how twisted you can be I love you." She pulled herself away from him, "I just want one thing in return and that is you trusting me, at least pretending that you'll feel some day." she wiped her eyes.

"I don't have to pretend anything, Pratha, if you think I love Kavya that's not true." He took a step towards her, she huffed leaning over the reeling, looking down at the calm water in which the half moon reflected brightly. "I don't buy it."

"I want to make you believe Pratha- look at me." his voice sounded desperate he turned her to him, "I was a fucking idiot for thinking what I did, I was so used to the women I knew that I got blinded by the idea Pratha, I shouldn't have forgotten what we had when Mahek told me I should have shrugged it off, I got so fucking insecure that I dug into details when I should have just talked to you, I should have known that you are mine." He let her go and pulled at the ring on his finger, taking it off- "You're not Kavya, you're Pratha." he held the ring in his fist and threw it over the reeling to the water. She gasped, her eyes following the movement of his hand, "Veer no!"

"I don't care about her, I just want you to be with me, I do not know what this is anymore, an infatuation, an addiction-I need you, that's it." He held her wrist, "Let's go home." She slowly wrapped her arms around him, "Okay but you'll not leave me Veer? I am sorry for what I did baby, it was all to take you off my mind for a few hours, drugs help you don't they?"

"You won't need them, I am not leaving you." He picked her up from the ground and pressed her head to his chest, he seated her back in the car, standing by her side, he took out a water bottle, "Drink." She nodded drinking it gulp by gulp. He pulled out some tissues, cleaning the black under his eyes. He capped the bottle keeping it aside and cupped her face, "You're going to be okay."

She nodded, and he pressed his lips to her forehead.

He kept her on the soft mattress and moved away slightly, throwing her heels to the corner. He removed the jacket from her and pulled the covers on her, his fingers combing her hair, massaging her temples slightly, he shook off his boots and moved across the bed, dragging himself close to her, he pulled her to his arms, resting her head against his chest, he slowly stroked her hair as her breathing lulled him to sleep.

When he woke up, she was still stuck to him, her body had almost shifted on top of his, he almost chuckled at how she looked like a tiny-tiny teddy bear, he rolled her to the other pillow, he stroked away the hair away from her forehead trying to get her to wake up, he hoped to God she didn't have a hangover from whatever poisons she'd been drinking the previous night because she had him clutched so tightly that he couldn't move from it. "Sweety let me get you some painkillers."

"It doesn't hurt." She slightly opened her eyes, then hid her face behind her palm from all the sunlight in the room from the window, "Umm close that."

"I'll let it open for it wakes you up." He said teasingly. He let his finger slide the side of her face, "Don't leave me again Pratha, even when I am angry and stupid- out of control, telling you to go- I am not strong enough to spend a whole life alone", the pad of his thumb stroking her cheek, she pouted- holding his hand, her eyes opened now, her big brown eyes looking at his greenish-brown with admiration, "You're not alone, I'll always be here, even when I am not, I love you." She leaned forward and captured his lips with hers, he smiled against her soft lips, kissing her back as he slid his arms under her and rolled her on top of his body, letting his tongue penetrate her mouth, she parted from him, straddling him as he cupped the side of her face, "I love you too." He pursed his lips, and her lips parted at his sudden confession, she searched her eyes for any humor or uncertainty, but he continued, "I am not lying." He sat up, making her turn and making her sit between his legs, he wrapped his arms around her waist, "You told me you feel empty without me, well that's how I feel without you, I won't lie to you, I thought about removing the way I feel with meaningless sex, but I couldn't Pratha."

She turned her head to him as he rested his chin on her shoulder, looking at her intently, "The thought of a body other than yours nauseated me- because you are not just any woman, you're my girl, you're the one girl I wanna travel the world with, wake up next to like this every morning, be with the person on Sundays, have over and over."

She blushed at his words, his lips had started to press against the side of her neck, and he was breathing in from her skin, his warm tongue licking at where ever he'd nip, "I thought I could never be this way again-but I love you more with every beat of my heart. I miss you when you're not around, no one does it for me anymore Pratha." he held her chin up firmly turning her face to himself, 'every second I am scared of how deep it gets because I don't want to be this vulnerable with anyone, it changed me once, for the worst."

"You're the same Veer, I know I haven't known you as long as her, but I can bet, she just made you realize who you are." She whispered slowly, "And I love you for who you are, a raw version of you, I love it." She bit her lip, running her hands all over his chest, her finger tracing the button line of his shirt, "Because you make me realize what I want, what I crave- how I want it." He raised a brow, "You love the guy who comforted you all those months, who wanted to look out for you, Veer Oberoi, not me."

She straddled him and leaned in crashing her lips against his, moaning as his tongue entered her mouth softly dancing with hers, she gripped his neck and parted shaking her head, "Oh no no- I didn't love that man, I found him attractive, I wanted to have sex with him, but you-" her eyes traveled all over his face, enjoying how he was slightly out of breath, his spicy scent making her dizzy, "I love you, it's screwed up because you're screwed up but the more I get to know you, the more it becomes hard to stay away, besides you look out for me, don't you? In shady ways though." She winked. He chuckled, "Hmm doesn't that make you screwed up too? Having it 'so' bad for someone like me."

"We're two of a kind." she giggled lightly when he nuzzled her neck. She pushed him playfully to which he held both her wrists, throwing her back against the opposite end of the bed, getting on top of her, she laughed trying to get her hands free, "Veer your phone is ringing right under my back!"

"Let it." He didn't leave her bound wrists to attend to the vibrating phone and leaned down kissing the side of her face down to her neck, she threw her head back with a gasp and arched her back from the device to push into his body, "Just get the damn call and we can-"

"Let them get a hint." He said in a tingling whisper against her earlobe before pressing a kiss to it, she moaned, he left her wrists and just when she fell back thinking he was going to pick up his phone, he lifted her legs, sliding off her panties over her tan legs, she pushed away the device under her back to the side, "Come here baby, I need you."

"On it." He winked holding the hem of her dress and lifting it to her body, she raised helping him take it off, and he sighed, "I love this dress, I love how it clings to your body like a second skin, more like a shiny wrapping paper around a gift." He threw it to the side, "My gift to be exact." His wild eyes ran all over her body, his lips were everywhere in the next moments, over her soft lips, her eyelids, her jawline, her neck, her heaving chest. He pushed her handful breasts together, at first softly trailing kisses, then licking her erect nipples, she clutched his raven hair, trying to calm down her racing heart, she bet he could hear how hard it beat, "Veer- please, please!" her body writhed under his, her face revealing her agony, "I've touched myself all week but I couldn't.. help me." she cried, her cheeks blood red by now as she held one of his hand tracing it down to place it between her thighs, he looked up at her with dark eyes, "Baby, you're practically dripping."

"It's so bad." She moaned hooking her fingers in his pants and slowly widening the space between her thighs, "I am burning all over, do you feel it?" She unzipped his pants, her other hand pulling hard at the center of the shirt till it tore open, she sighed running her hand over his bare chest, her soft lips started trailing kisses on the contours of his chest, his defined abs, his firm bicep, and shoulder, her legs wrapped around his middle "Do you feel how needy you make me, don't believe my words, believe my body, how shamelessly desperate it is for you, love, my needs make me so weak- needs only you can fulfill." He spread her legs further, his hand slid in between their bodies, his thumb flicked her slick button-then slow circles, he loved seeing her pupils dilated, lips slightly parted, soundless cries as he continued, "Feels good?" he inserted his finger inside her, dilating her, she moaned, "Amazing-oh God, My-" she shut her lids as he added another finger, he leaned down kissing her open mouth, swallowing her cries, she gripped his hair kissing him back, he slowly pulled out his fingers from her , slipping inside her, she moaned into his mouth as friction started increasing, his mouth parted from hers , kissing her jaw line , her neck , her collarbone as he thrusted into her over and over , hitting her in all the right spots, her labored breaths and soft cries made it so difficult for him to contain himself and not tear her apart with his passion, she was ,moving her hips to meet his thrusts the best she could, her nails raking down his back and he could feel her on the edge , hearing her heart beat louder than the sound of their breathing, she said in low cry, "I love this feeling, Oh- oh my God, don't stop ever , sweetie- go harder."

"Oh Prathna, fuck! I can go harder- I don't want- want to hurt you, baby." He held her chin, kissing her mouth, she bit down on his lower lip, moving her hips against his furiously now, her mouth parted from his, her lips brushing against his softly, "Hurt me, I love it when you fuck me senseless." She closed her eyes feeling him angle her hips up a little, he thrust into her much harder this time, and her cries were no more silent, they held loudness and passion, her body coiled around him as she shattered into pieces, and he followed her after a few thrusts, he rested his head on her heaving chest, enjoying her panting as her heartbeat was falling to normal. He held up their linked hands which had intertwined somewhere at the end, he brushed his lips over the back of her hand, then kissed it lazily, "I love you.". He didn't see her face but she stroked the top of his head, "You're mine." She kissed his hair

"Hmmm." He smiled looking up at her

"Your arms are mine?" she raised a brow. He nodded inching forward and kissed her nose, "What about your weird ears?" she chuckled. He grinned, she pursed her lips looking down at his soft lips, "And your lips- your beautiful eyes, they're mine right?"

"All yours baby." He rubbed his nose against her rolling off and pulling her on top of him, she chuckled, "And."

"And?" he rose a brow, she bit her lip looking down between them, he laughed lightly, "You horny devil." He pressed his lips to her, she kissed him back immediately holding him close till his phone beeped loudly. he parted with a frustrated groan, "I swear this is the worst invention of the modern world."

She moved away from him, "Don't sound like a woke oldie."

He shrugged reaching for it, "Pardon me for being old, I couldn't control the time of my birth, baby."

She stuck out her tongue at him, "Get over it." He shook his head and picked up his phone, "Hello."

Pratha was busy looking for a robe and listening to some part of the conversation, she didn't want to, but she'd always hear a word of it and assume a lot of things, he was suddenly very angry and tensed, it didn't look like it was work, it looked like he was talking about something other than that, Pratha knew that Veer couldn't be asked about it, he got frustrated and shout or act detached, which had left her heartbroken one too many times. She switched the shower on but didn't got inside looking at the water run down.

"Pratha, the water is steaming hot, you'll burn yourself." He spoke as he entered the bathroom and stood behind her. She was surprised as he wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on her shoulder, "What's wrong?" he kissed her cheek. She smiled shaking her head, "You sounded kinda mad over the phone."

He rolled his eyes with a sigh, "Yes! We sent some girl to spy on the Shahs, that good-for-nothing bitch was sleeping with Abber this entire time, releasing our information."

She raised a brow, turning her face to him, "Was? She confessed all that?"

He shook his head, "No we caught her, she's history now, don't worry baby." He pulled her into the shower with him, hugging her close to him, she pursed her lips and looked up at him, "What if she loved him?"

He huffed, "I doubt that after her constant bold advances on me last month, who cares if she did? There's one love I approve of and it's you and me." he cupped her face, and she smiled as he slowly kissed her, then parted looking into her eyes, "I'll make you breakfast today."

"Mmmm okay and what will you have?"

"You with syrup on top maybe." He winked. She shook her head, "Veer-"

"Yes?"

"That girl, you guys didn't hurt her right?" she asked reluctantly. He pursed his lips, "I don't want to lie to you, baby."

She felt a chill down her back, he sighed, "Prathna- I did tell you about these things, please, don't think about it." She nodded, "Yes,-I uh am sorry I asked."

"It'll be okay- trust me." he slowly stroked her temples, "Relax."
