TALE 35 - Mutual

They were vocal about their liking for each other
There could be no hiding of emotions 
It was not love they both understood 
There however was a possibility of something likewise
The colleagues knew their families knew
Courting was on... Big time...
The natural stages of fondness and affection were surpassed in ultra speed
Their companionship had an acceleration of extreme physical attraction which neither of them denied...
They waited well past office hours to spend time
They spoke less but felt more... made out sooner...
They turned into partners before they could be friends
Its today's world, they were open about it...
And happy too!
Their families raised a familiar question which haunts every dating couple...
When would u tie a knot?
Friends asked if they were gonna move in together...
Colleagues assumed their commitment n put them in a couple's league...
In the mean while...
This boy and girl realised that they had already experienced what they would have experienced had they been married...
They had worked, eaten, partied, travelled, slept together and had done everything they could ever imagine...
for all that they knew they had even been there for each other emotionally...
They were happy...
They wanted to keep it that way...
They did not need a stamp on their love...
And yes love it was... They realised...
But they weren't ready to move in...
They were together while being independent...
Yet they were a couple...
Their families after some gentle nudging agreed to their views...
Questions about starting a family were raised...
To which they replied....
They d definitely have a plan if they wanted children
But they would not marry...
It was a good lesson...
For their families...
Who were conditioned to bond for society for ages...
It still is going strong...
Much in love they now work for different companies
But also work towards their relationship
Fairy tales are real
