Shubman's POV

I pulled out my phone to message Aditi. I scrolled through my contacts frantically, passing her name multiple times. My fingers were shaking. Finally, I managed to click the right contact. My fingers typed away making several errors. It took me a good minute to type up the words: Aditi, I need to talk to you. My brain was a jumbled-up mess. I pressed the button send. I heard a phone ping behind me simultaneously.

Aditi.

Her suitcase was off to her left, her hair was pulled up into a ponytail. She held her phone in her right hand. She stuffed it into her pocket and looked at the ground.

"What are you doing here? Don't you have a match?" Her voice was bitter and hurt. I winced at the amount of hatred she had in those words. I took a step toward her. Wrapping my arms around her waist, I closed the gap between us swiftly. She forced her lips away from mine. I frowned partly confused and partly hating the lack of contact between us.

"Thought I was some cheat that was beneath you." She jeered at me, not dropping the loathing tone.

"I never said that!" I protested and took a step toward her. She flinched immediately. I let my thumb stroke her cheek where I'd slapped her.

"Sure felt like you thought it." She mumbled under her breath. I pulled her by the wrist toward me. She stumbled forward and I gripped her waist making sure that she wouldn't fall.

"Shubman. I'm done being your girl toy." She gritted her teeth and glared at me.

"You're not my girl toy." I rested my head on the crook of her neck. She squirmed a bit.

"I get it. You're mad at me." I sighed and placed a feathery kiss on her neck.

"I'm not mad." Aditi's cold voice made me stop and doubt myself.

"I'm enraged." She snorted, I chuckled. Looking at her in the eye, I found myself and her leaning toward each other.

"You want to kiss me as much as I do," I smirked, Aditi tried to pull away from me once more.

"Damn you and your muscles." She cursed.

"Akash told me what happened." I decided it was time to get to the point.

"I was an idiot for not bothering to ask what happened." I sighed and held her closer to me. She gave no reaction.

"But Aditi, I was furious. I hated the idea of you kissing another guy. I hated the idea of you being held the way I hold you by another person. I hate the idea of you falling in love with anyone else but me." I blabbered, Aditi's cold gaze softened.

"I couldn't stand it. I wanted to be selfish and keep you all to myself." I mumbled and looked at the ground embarrassed. I snuck a glance at Aditi. She was turning slightly red. I pressed my lips against hers. This time I got a reaction.

A good one.

Her hands went around my neck, I was sure that she would strangle me. Instead, she kissed me back. I felt her body relax in my arms. I deepened the kiss and held her closer to me. Our lips moved in sync. She pulled away from me. Her face was a deep shade of red. I couldn't help but smile.

"I'll take it as a yes that you accept my apology," I murmured. She kissed my cheek.

"I was really going to leave." She admitted.

"I had enough of you and your stupidly adorable dimples. I hated the way you made me feel..." She blurted out. I laughed at how cute she could be. I was about to kiss her once more but she stopped me.

"I'm not sure if this is right." She admitted.

"To me, it feels right." I shrugged off her concern and leaned forward. She stopped me once again.

"Shubman. I don't want to be heartbroken." Aditi frowned and told me.

"I won't break your heart. I'll gladly have mine broken by you. But I swear Aditi. I won't break yours." I promised her, she smiled and this time, let me kiss her. I wanted to hide her away from the world. Keep her safe in my arms. I would do anything just to see her smile. I knew it in my heart that she was the one for me.

I won't break your heart, Aditi. Never.

*****

Aww! How cute was that? >:D

But u and I both know I won't let them live happily ever after XDDDD

P.S: Divya says that if Shubman breaks Aditi's heart she will break me and Shubman.

Don't I have a charming friend?
