Being Too Comfortable In A Relationship Novels & Stories

I didn’t have that much work to do since Conor was doing all the work already, so I spent the day in Brian’s office, watching him do his job. We had reached a part in our lives where everything was just peaceful. Many call it the boring relationship phase. And for some reason, that bugged me. Previously, we wouldn’t be in the same room without pouncing on each other, but here we are now, he is peacefully working, and my presence doesn’t make him want to devour me. Maybe the hype of it all has died down now that we are no longer sneaking around. I have become a boring partner, and he is probably waiting for a new, exciting partner.

“Our marriage is a sham. We don’t need to do these things.” I felt his keen gaze studying me solemnly. I could tell that he found me strange. I also found myself acting strange at times, but I was against anything that could disturb the peace of my mind. I wanted to find love, but a love that wasn’t complicated was my preference. I wanted to be in a relationship, but I didn’t want to be in a love that made me lose control over my heart. I wanted a kind of love that wouldn’t hurt me. A partnership was also fine. Being comrades wouldn’t be bad. Friends with benefits was the best.

“That dream’s gone now.” Suddenly, their relationship made me much more uncomfortable.

Geena asked. I stared at her. Was she right? I could hardly remember what it was like with Bryan now. “You didn’t care as much. Bryan was your friend, and the relationship was comfortable and easy. But relationships don’t have to be easy all the time, Ash. What’s more important is that it’s… passionate, exciting, as much as it is comforting. The perfect thing is that you should marry your best friend, who you have the hots for… not some guy who’s just practically your roommate.

"But it would be less efficient. And less convincing." "Efficient," I repeated, rolling my eyes. "You make relationships sound like business transactions." "Isn't that exactly what we're doing? A business arrangement with mutual benefits?" "Fair point." "Besides," he continued, "I want us to be comfortable around each other—not just for appearances but for ourselves. This will be easier if we're not constantly walking on eggshells." I considered his words. There was logic to them, even if I was reluctant to admit it.

I was taken by surprise when he said, “Well, I do miss the tight t-shirt from yesterday, but I think you look fabulous. Are you comfortable?” That’s a first. He cared that I was more comfortable them well kept. If felt good. I felt good with him. We had a few bumps in the road and I wouldn’t exactly call it a traditional relationship but it was clear that we felt something deeper for each other than more couples. We completed each other. Most of trouble had come from me. My lack of self-confidence. He stood by me even when I was sure he wouldn’t. Maybe I can try a bit more for me. As long as it’s for me and not just for him, I told myself. “Yes.” I answered.

I backed up even further, my body automatically trying to take me out of the room until Icaan caught my arm. "Don't avoid me," he said. "It will only make it harder to get comfortable with the new relationship dynamic in the long run. "And we should both eat." I exhaled, trying to relax my tense muscles, but again my body rebelled. He was right about both counts. But that didn't mean I had to like it.

But if I have that, and I use that to cheat on or to lie, the entire base is gone. We believe if someone is looking for freedom and so called space in a relationship, they should rather move on immediately, rather being a pain and getting that pain of being uncomfortable. Relationships are not made in heaven, it takes time and two beautiful people ,two souls to become one and carry on that bond without having issues related to Freedom/Space/Privacy and all. One is in love, that doesn't mean one can control the other’s life. They can and they will do what they want. Ofcourse, one can give suggestions but one can not decide the way one will work. Right?

"I'm enjoying it so much, way more than I thought I would. That's why I don't want it to go wrong" "Sweetie if you're walking on eggshells the whole relationship then it probably isn't a relationship you should want to keep. You don't always have to be calculating the risks of doing this or saying that, just be in the moment and have some fucking fun" Her gentle smile softens the words she is saying. It's like holding up a mirror to my face, because I think all this things too deep down.

When we sit down at the fancy table with huge chairs, I get annoyed at how Eros is sitting so far away from me. That's when I realize I might be falling a little too hard into this relationship thing. I didn't think I would, but I'm getting too comfortable being obsessed with someone else. It's annoying, but it won't be forever, so I might as well feed my wolf good before ruining his fun, right? I grab Eros' chair and pull it as close to mine as possible, making way more noise than I was intending to.
