I Looked Up To My 27-Year-Old Cousin Until He Ruined It All For Us

*For representational purpose only.

I was 21 and my cousin was 27. He came to visit me at my place where I was studying for my bachelors. We were meeting after 8 years so the feeling of meeting one another was nostalgic. We lived in the same hotel room.

Initially, his trip was of 2 days but after 2 days, I asked him to stay for one more day as this reunion was after a long time. He agreed and booked his flight ticket for the next day. Since we were sharing the bed that night too, I was lying beside him and was telling him stuff regarding my college and how in my college every guy considered me a boy as I have this tomboy attitude and no guy ever dared to come near me.

At this point he said to me - "How is that possible? You are so beautiful." Then I told him that my good side was only reserved for friends and relatives and I let the whole world see me as a cold-hearted person. At this point, he started laughing and came so close to me that our lips were touched. I thought it happened by mistake and I tilted my head to the other side. Then we resumed our talk and all of a sudden, he tilted his head again and started kissing me. It seemed like he couldn't stop himself. I stopped and said to him that this was utterly wrong and he shouldn't do this. What will happen if anyone got to know about this? To which he said, "No one will ever know as this was a secret between us and will happen only for tonight."

I asked him, "Are you attracted to me or what?" He had no answer for it and said, "Let this just happen for tonight."

I trusted him so much and had this blind faith in him as he was usually called the "most mature and sensible person" of the house. I thought if he was doing this, there was definitely some reason there, especially because he mentioned that this was only for that night and would never happen again. But I think I was mistaken.

The next morning when we woke up, it was his time to leave. But before that when we were on the bed, he again kissed me and I tried to refrain myself by starting a conversation or by trying to distract him. I didn't know what to do as I was scared of what would happen if at this place I gave a tight slap on his cheek or humiliate him badly.

I was scared and let me tell you, I had never been in a relationship in the past so this was completely new to me and I had no clue on how guys would react to such things. Finally, I told him that he should get ready as he had to catch his flight on time. On that cue, he got up and got ready. When we were about to leave our hotel room, he kissed me for the last time but there was something in his eyes that I cannot pin point at right now. It was some kind of emotion but I don't know what it was.

Anyway, he left and then we were in touch with one another on the phone. He always tried to avoid the question whenever I asked him for the reason for his actions. Fast forward to April, I finally confronted him regarding the same and he agreed that he had some feelings for me. He had no idea whether it was an emotional attachment or physical attraction but he was adamant that he had something.

Later on, he told me that we must never talk about this ever again and I should forget what happened forever. I said "it's okay" but I needed a proper answer for everything. For whatever happened that night. Fast forward to June, he told me "Okay we can end this thing in one way." He told me either "I could to you place or you can come to mine to end it." I said okay. He said okay.

Fast forward to June end, I realized it was grossly wrong at the first place and I should've taken action the first time itself. I was angry at myself for blindly believing in him.

End of story - I shouted at him, didn't give him a chance to explain and ended the conversation. At last in July he didn't wish my brother on his birthday and this was the thin ice that got broken. I ended all my ties with him.
