Previously On His Wicket:

I miss you Shubman.

Shubman's Point Of View:

I frowned, hatred for Aryan ran deeper as I took in the sight in front of me. Aryan and Aditi were having dinner together, they were at a separate table. Aditi opted to ignore me, it irritated me to the core. She wouldn't talk to me nor acknowledge my existence. Aryan had cracked some joke, Aditi tried to smother her laughter. I knew that Aryan could feel my gaze burning into his back. Aditi stood up, taking her plate to the buffet. She dropped off the plate with the long line of dirty dishes. She was dressed in a floral yellow top with shorts. Her top was sleeveless and she wore a pair of white Vans.

Aditi returned to her seat with a cup of coke. An older woman smiled warmly at Aryan and Aditi.

"You two make a lovely couple." She informed them with a wistful smile. Aditi choked on her coke. I gritted my teeth.

This is just rubbing salt in my wounds.

"I hate that guy," I muttered under my breath, no-one had heard my remark.

I had to try to tell Aditi how much of a cheat that guy is.

Aditi excused herself and went into the elevator, her eyes stuck on her phone screen. I waited thirty seconds before rushing off behind her. I managed to get inside the elevator before it closed. Aditi eyed me warily.

"Aditi." I started, she turned to me with a frown.

"Don't trust Aryan." I started, her eyes blazed with anger.

"He's a playboy." I gritted my teeth. "Your just his new plaything."

"Excuse me?" She seemed pissed.

"Look." She sighed patiently.

"This is my life. I pick who I hang out with or date. You don't have a say in that." Her usual attitude shows, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her to my chest.

"Your mine," I growled, she looked taken aback.

"I'm your boyfriend, I don't think you can date someone else." My eyes darkened, she seemed seriously ticked off.

"I'm not some object you can own! I'm a human." She shoved me away.

"Aditi, I'm the guy your in love with. You can't even deny it." I smirked, Aditi's attitude flattered for a second.

"Really?" She mocked, I grunted.

"I hate you." She sneered. "That's a fact."

"I'll date Aryan, or whoever I want! You. Can't. Control. My. Life." She informed me, about to leave. But the elevator doors closed, trapping her inside with me. The elevator rocked back and forth.

Well, shit...

Look's like we're stuck in the elevator for a while.

"You belong to me, Aditi." I chuckled and gripped her waist, pulling her to me. She squirmed in my grip, trying to get out.

"You don't own me." She hissed under her breath.

"We're destined to be." I looked at her, her lower lip trembled. I knew that she was close to her breaking point.

"Aditi, I can see right through your act." I kissed her cheek, she refused to meet my gaze.

"Please..." I pleaded. "Come back to me."

"It's for the better, Shubman." She shoved me away, she turned away but not before I saw a tear slip down her cheek.

"I love you, woman!" I grumbled, she started to cry.

"I thought it would be better for you..." She sobbed into my shoulder.

"Aditi, what do you mean?" I held her closer to me.

"Vi..Vikram.. Bhai said your batting has been affected for a month now, he wanted to know if there was anything wrong with your personal. Life.." She hiccuped between sobs.

"I... I realized... that... your batting has been weak... since we started dating..." She looked at me with her tear-stained eyes.

Aww... Wait... Is that why she broke up with me-?

"Aditi." I cradled her, she buried her head in my chest. Still sobbing.

"You've never affected my batting, you only made me the happiest guy out there." I kissed her forehead and murmured into her head.

"The stats don't lie Shubman." She whimpered.

"Aditi, all players have a bad time playing sometimes." I chuckled.

"I didn't want to break-up with you, I wanted to be selfish and keep you all to myself." She clung to me in a desperate attempt to make me stay. I couldn't and wouldn't refuse, I kissed her. She wrapped her hands around my neck, kissing me back.

"I love you a lot, Shubman." She pouted, I chuckled and nuzzled her cheek.

"I love you more than anything." I cooed to her, she smiled childishly.

A small part of me wondered about her sudden confession, Aditi isn't the type to give in easily. She would be the type to try to keep the act on for as long as she could.

"You won't leave me right?" Her brown eyes widened.

"Never," I told her determined, she cuddled closer to me. I smiled.

I lifted her, bridal style and took her to her room.

"Don't leave..." She grabbed my arm when I was about to leave. I sat down on the bed next to her, she rested her head on my shoulder. I stroked her cheek just admiring how peaceful and happy she looked.

"Aditi?"

"Hm?"

I smiled, she was still awake.

"Can I kiss you again?" I hesitated but asked.

"Ok.." She replied sleepily. I smiled again. I cupped her cheeks and pulled her into a gentle kiss. She responded by placing a hand on my chest, her other hand ruffled up my hair messing it up.

"You look better that way." She informed me, I chuckled. Resting her head on my chest, I just enjoyed us being together once again.

I heard a soft snore coming from Aditi, signaling she was asleep. A strand of her brown hair was covering her cheeks, I brushed past the strand and laid her down on the bed. Her hand clutched mine tightly, refusing to let go. I laid down next to her, she cuddled closer to me. Using me as her teddy bear, I relaxed for a moment.

I had My Aditi back.
