Hello again my beautiful readers. Thank you very much for the critics, ratings and comments. I duly appreciate your support.
First chapter was just testing through waters but I got the idea now where should I let my plot go. Thank you for your patience and I sincerely hope you all like the next plot.

Knock! Knock!
'Chels, please open the door! I am sorry for behaving so immaturely with you.'
Knock! Knock! Knock!
'Chels, hey'
I was in two minds, clueless to whom should I listen to. My mind or my body? God, where the hell I am stuck in! I did better open the door and face her rather than let her think anything negative about me.
Opening the door, 'Hi Marty, sorry for the way I reacted'
'Hey, its ok. Its all my fault you don't have to be sorry for. I know who I am and how people think about me and sometimes I tend to forget where I stand. I am sorry to put you in such uncomfortable position. I hope things will go the way it were before.'
'No Marty don't sell yourself short. Yes I agree you suddenly put me in uncomfortable situation but no I do not agree with who you are.
Why do you think less of yourself?'
I took her hand and let her to sit down on bed besides me. At that moment I actually forgot who we were but only saw her as an innocent soul fighting with herself to be recognized in the worldly bullshit. Trying to make ends meet with social stigma.
'Just forget what I said chels. I..I um..I just want you to forget this whole scenario and I request you to not bring this up again ever.'
She tried to get up and run for the door knob. For a second I was confused where is she heading to as its her own home we are in.
'Hey you, wait' I called after her.
Passing through living room, I saw her standing near kitchen platform in dark trying to hide her tears from me. I sneaked in quietly and hugged her from behind grabbing on her waist tightly so as to stop her from fleeing again.
I kissed her back at the neck and tried to console her by whispering some sweet endearing which she was too blind to see herself. She leaned into me, fragile and innocent as she was, trusting me completely to hold her against me. A fleeting thought crossed my mind 'this lovey dovey stuff was not I was expecting from me to anyone especially not Marta. How funny life is at times!'
Thinking all these through I did not realized what I was doing with her. My hands were caressing her clothed tummy and nuzzling her back neck with soft kisses, trying hard to make her forget her own pain.
