Nora looked troubled. Her hands on his chest tried to push him away but her heart didn't let her do so. Clenching her fist she rested her forehead to his right shoulder.

"Why?" She murmured with a small pout.

"Because it has to be you."

"Parth. Please." Nora resignedly spoke.

She was tired of all the push and pull games they played. She was tired of the strange emotions she feels everytime with him.

But Parth won't let her get away this time. He is adamant of ending their friendship, for forever.

Parth looked down to that small figure in his arms. His heart almost gave up to her desires again.

Everytime when he thought of ending their so-called 'close friendship' and begin their love life, his indulgence towards her stopped him.

He did whatever she desired but he can't do it anymore. He wants them to be together. Afraid of no one's judgemental eyes. And this time nothing can stop him.

Making her chin up to face him he asked back. "You tell me Nora what is happening between us?"

Nora didn't have the answers but when she heard someone's voice outside the door she hurriedly said. "Parth I think we should stop."

"You never asked me to stop before. Why does it matter if someone even see us like this?"

This is not the first time that they were this close to each other, such intimately. No matter if they were in public or not, neither Parth stopped himself towards Nora, nor Nora ever stopped him from doing anything to her or for her.

Clenching her fist tightly she looked away from him. She never thought of answering such a question. For her everything was natural and needed no explanation. Because...

"Because we are friends." She answered with little grumpiness.

Parth couldn't help but scoff loudly. "Who are you kidding Nora? Have you ever seen friends hugging each other like this? Have you ever seen friends kissing each other like I do to you? Have you ever been this close to anyone except me?"

"You haven't either." She retorted back angrily.

"Because I only want you. Except you i don't have anyone. You feel the same way for me?" Parth asked as he pulled her close to his face. Their noses were touching each other.

Nora got a little alarmed. He might have kissed her before but it was never on her lips. It was only around her forehead, cheeks or neck, but never directly.

However this time their lips were just a few inches away. Their warm breath on their upper lips intensed the situation more.

Her hold on his shoulder got tightened. Gulping hard she asked. "Parth, we can talk even after going home, can't we?"

"No. Now or never. Tell me, will you ever accept anyone to come this close to you except me?"

"Parth-"

"Answer me Nora." He sternly said. "No more games."

Nora bit her lower lips. The answer was obvious but it was hard for her to say it out when they are this close already. But knowing that if she didn't answer today she isn't going anywhere, she shook her head lightly in denial.

"...no."

"Why?"

"Because it can only be you."

Before she could look up to see his reaction Parth has already crashed his lips to her's.
