Deepika's PoV

***

The photo of me and Shreyas kissing was spreading faster than a wildfire in the team. Rohit Bhaiya had made Shreyas fetch water for him by flat out threatening to leak it if he didn't. I knew for a fact that his torture would last a lot longer. My ideas of how the photo could magically disappear were interrupted when something hit Shreyas's head. "Ow," He winced, rubbing the back of his head where a large bottle had made contact.

He glanced at the little rasagulla on the ground, grinning smugly at me. "Vamika, really? What did I ever do you?" He folded my arms, towering over the sitting baby. She stuck her tongue out at me, and He groaned, "I'm having to compete for my girlfriend's attention with a baby!"

I laughed and slipped my arm around his waist before resting my head on his shoulder. Vamika glared at her, seeming to say 'traitor'. I knew it was childish, I knew it was immature, but I stuck my tongue out at a one-year-old toddler.

"Bleh." She huffed, chucking one of her colorful blocks at me. I barely managed to dodge it and shook my head in wonder, she's definitely inherited the fielding skills

Deepika tugged at my arm and leaned in, "We need to talk."

I raised an eyebrow, whenever girls said that it meant 'lets break-up', "I thought you were going to say let's make out," I shrugged, flashing her a cocky grin. As per usual, she rolled her eyes and dismissed my attempt at flirting and dragged me away. 

My teammates didn't even question it.

"Look." She shoved her phone screen towards my face, and I glanced at it. It was a picture of her and me kissing.

On a freaking article!

"We made it to the news." I nodded briefly, stage one had worked. Deepika shook her head, "The reporter I spoke with told me that he didn't do this, someone else did.". My mind swirled with a thousand thoughts, how did they take a photo of us when we were inside Virat and Anushka's room, in a private hotel?

Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a man in a coat staring intensely at our general direction. If they want a show, I can give them one.

I leaned towards her, placing a hand on the brick wall near her. My body covering her completely, from an outsider's perspective, it looked like we were kissing. Deepika's eyes flared with surprise as she went to knee me in the groin.

Deepika's PoV

I went to kick him, aiming to knee him in the groin. Except I never made contact, he caught my leg mid-attack, And, I forgot how to breathe when his fingers dug into inner thigh through the cotton of my leggings. I let out a soft gasp, and he proceeded to wrap my leg around his waist and closed the distance between us.

"A person's watching us." He breathed as his lips began peppering kisses onto my neck.  "And Public affection makes people uncomfortable."

"So does ripping off marvel when the person your talking to is a marvel fan." I whispered, he chuckled in response and kissed me. I saw out of the corner of my vision that someone was leaving, I quickly peeled myself off him and straightened my clothing. "We're good."

He watched me with curiosity, before tugging me to his chest and inspected me. His fingertips began pulling out strands from my ponytail, and he grinned before responding, "Making it seem as if we were busy."

I rolled my eyes and huffed, I then suddenly heard a flash. And another, then a series of clicking sounds. 

A crown swamped me and Shreyas, his grip on my waist tightened as he shielded me from the story hungry reporters. "Deeps, Relax, I can see Virat Bhaiya with the security." 

"Are you dating Shreyas?"

"Shreyas, do you know what a horrible hospital owns?"

"Deepika, I heard your father was a pervert, what do you say about that?"

"I'm a reporter too, these guys are just horrible, ignore them, sir and ma'am."

"Shreyas, did you know that Deepika was engaged to Arun Iyer?"

My breathing became labored, the lack of space killing me. My chest heaved as Shreyas gave a look before barking at the reporters to move out of the way. I couldn't hear the rest of the sentance because the world began spinning and darkness took over.

Crap, here comes my anxiety.
