Shreyas

It's been two weeks since I left Bangalore and there's two more horribly long weeks until Aria comes here to see me for my matches. I had second thoughts over giving her my match tickets. I thought I was taking this relationship very quickly, not giving her space to breathe. But that one smile and bone crushing hug from her was my answer. I knew I wanted to spend my life with her.

Woah okay calm down shreyas. Life and all is a little too extra at the moment.

Lying down on my bed staring at the ceiling, I was missing my girl so much. Her giggles, her cooking, how her hot skin feels under my touch, her cute glares. Everything about her. I'm smitten, completely smitten.

Long distance is kicking my ass and I'm not liking it. But for Aria.. it's worth the wait. That woman deserves very single bit of happiness this world can provide and I will stop at nothing. I will make sure she never lets go of that beautiful smile. In my universe, she's a whole fucking planet.

Practice today was hectic but I'm getting better at what I do. I'm perfecting my shots and my speed. I do not want to disappoint Aria in the first match she's coming to as my girlfriend. I want to hit a century and dedicate it to her.

Damn I'm thinking about her way too much. Why not just call her.

I picked my phone from my bedside table and looked at the time. 8pm, perfect. She would have reached home.

I dialled her number and the video call rung. After a few rings her gorgeous face popped on the screen.

"Heyyaaa", she smiled. Oh my precious little baby.

"Hey baby", I smiled back.

"How was your day? Did you train well?", She asked keeping the phone down and removing the towel from her hair. Oooh wet hair on her is a huge turn on for me. Dammit.

"Did you just come out of the shower?", I asked gawking at the beauty in front of me.

"Yeah I just came out and the phone rang", she said sitting on her bed.

"Oh shit. Should have called 10 min ago. Would have gotten to see you in the shower", I winked making her go red.

"Yeah yeah okay. Now tell me, did you have dinner?", She asked diverting the topic. Fucking Adorable.

"No babe. You're not there to feed me no", I pouted.

"Say that a little bit more loudly and a ladle will come flying from the kitchen", she laughed.

"Actually it won't. Mom and dad have gone to some wedding and they took shresta along with them. I didn't go coz you know only privileged people get to have THE Shreyas Iyer attend their wedding", I smirked.

"You have been hanging out with rahul too much. He's rubbing off on you in a bad way", she scrumpled her nose.

"Stop being so cute Ari. You live miles away".

I blushed. I want to squish her right now.

That's when an idea struck my head.

"Hey you said you haven't cooked too right?", I asked sitting up.

"Yeah I haven't. I should start now. Why'd you ask?".

"Wanna cook together?", I grinned.

She thought about it for a second and grinned back.

"Let's cook".

I ran into the kitchen and hit my pinkie toe on the wall. I hopped on one leg holding my toe in one hand and the phone in the other, groaning.

"You're right. I'm hanging out with rahul too much", I said making her laugh.

I slowly limped into the kitchen and opened the fridge to see what's there.

"Do you know how to make butter chicken?", I asked her.

"Yeah I do. But it's a lot of work", she said setting her phone on the spice shelf in front of her and tying the apron.

"Lots of time on the phone then", I grinned.

You see it's a win-win situation. I get to cook dinner and get to talk to my baby. Who wouldn't want this.

"Teach me master", I said tying my apron.

"You look super hot shrey", she winked.

"Do not turn me on when you're not with me you evil woman. If you were here I would have taken you on the kitchen counter", I smirked and blew her a kiss.

"Ew shrey. Not the kitchen", she made a gagging face.

We started making the butter chicken together. I followed every single step she asked me to. That girl has so much patience to teach me every small detail.

"I am quite a good cook you know", I said mixing the curry with the ladle and closing the lid.

"Shrey the last time you volunteered to help Deepak and Rahul, my kitchen was a mess", she tilted her head smiling.

"Mistakes happen you know", I said turning around and playing a song.

"Come dance with me", I said holding my hand forward.

"Sure", she said placing her hand in the air and moving along with me.

To any one watching us from outside, we looked like two dodos dancing alone in the kitchen but for us, every minute with each other was precious.

"Shrey don't let your curry burn", she said breaking me off my trance.

I quickly switched the stove off and took the vessel down.

"This smells pretty good", I said taking a spoon full of the curry and putting it in my mouth.

"And?", She was waiting for my response.

"Not bad at all huh. I'm gonna pat myself on the back for this", I said putting some curry in the bowl and making some chapatis.

She got busy is making the dough for the chapati when I stopped what I was doing and looked at her.

My princess.

She had some flour on her cheek which she didn't notice and she had her concentration face on. Eyebrows furrowed and tongue sticking out of the corner of her mouth.

"I love you", I said. These words come out of my mouth every time I see her.

"What?", She said looking up at the screen.

"I love you Aria", I smiled.

Her eyes softened and she looked down and smiled. I will never get used to her.

"I love you too Shrey", she said now noticing the flour on her face and rubbing it off.

"Hey you didn't tell me my face was a mess", she glared.

"You looked too cute so I didn't wanna distract you".

"I don't like you", she said.

"Yeah I know. You love me", I grinned.

She ignored me and continued making her chapatis.

Once we were done we showed each other the food we made.

Hers looked perfect. Perfectly round chapatis with ghee on them and a bowl of mouth watering butter chicken.

My chapatis, well let's say I was creative and made them shapeless. She cooed looking at them.

"Shrey a 10 year old can make rounder chapatis than this", she laughed.

I glared at her and took the plate to the bedroom and sat on my bed while she sat on her dinner table.

"Let's start our dinner my lady", I said dimming the lights in my room.

"Wait", she said getting up and switching the warm yellow lights in her room on and she came in with a lit candle and placed it in front of her.

"Here's to out first virtual dinner date", she said.

We smiled and started eating.

If only she was here is all I could think about.

"Shrey", she whispered.

"Yes sweetheart".

"I miss you", she said giving me a small smile.

"I miss you too honey", I said bringing the phone closer and kissing the screen.

"Why are we so far away?", She frowned.

"We might be far away. But you know what?", I asked.

"What?".

"You're worth every mile between us".
