A few months later, the bustling city of London was alive with excitement as the Indian cricket team prepared for an important match series. Preethi found herself in the team's hotel, diligently working on her tablet in the lounge area, her focus completely absorbed by her notes and schedules.

The soft hum of conversations and the occasional clink of glasses created a comforting background noise as she worked. She was so engrossed in her task that she didn't notice the familiar figure approaching her from behind.

Suddenly, she felt strong arms wrap around her waist, and a surprised gasp escaped her lips as she was gently pulled up from her seat. Before she could react, she found herself being guided into the adjacent room, the door swiftly shutting behind them.

"Shubman! What are you doing?" Preethi exclaimed, a mixture of surprise and amusement in her voice as she turned to face him.

Shubman grinned down at her, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "I couldn't resist, babe," he replied, his voice low and filled with affection. "You've been working so hard, and I missed you."

Preethi's heart melted at his words, her initial surprise giving way to a warm sense of affection. "I missed you too, love," she said softly, her hands resting on his chest as she looked up into his eyes.

Shubman leaned in closer, his breath warm against her ear as he whispered, "I thought we could use a little break. Just you and me."

Preethi's cheeks flushed with warmth as she smiled up at him. "You always know how to make me feel special," she murmured, her voice filled with love.

Shubman chuckled, his fingers gently caressing her waist. "That's because you are special, Preethi," he said sincerely. "Every moment with you is a gift."

Feeling her heart swell with emotion, Preethi wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a tender kiss. Their lips met in a sweet, lingering embrace, the world outside their private bubble fading into insignificance.

As they finally pulled away, Shubman pressed his forehead against hers, his eyes filled with adoration. 

"How about we sneak away for a bit?" he suggested, his voice filled with playful excitement. 

"I know a cozy little café nearby. We can grab some coffee and just... be together."

Preethi's eyes lit up at the idea, her smile widening. "That sounds perfect," she agreed, her voice brimming with happiness.

With their hands intertwined, they slipped out of the room, their hearts light and their spirits high. The bustling streets of London awaited them, promising a few stolen moments of bliss amidst the whirlwind of their busy lives.

With hands intertwined, Shubman and Preethi stepped out into the crisp London air. The bustling city was alive with energy, a blend of old-world charm and modern vibrance. They navigated the busy streets, their pace leisurely as they soaked in the sights and sounds around them.

Shubman led Preethi down a quaint cobblestone alley to a cozy little café tucked away from the main thoroughfare. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air as they entered, the warm ambience wrapping around them like a comforting embrace.

Finding a quiet corner table, they settled in, their eyes locking in a shared moment of contentment. "This place is perfect," Preethi remarked, her voice soft and filled with gratitude. "I needed this break."

Shubman reached across the table, taking her hand in his. "I knew you would," he said with a smile. "Sometimes we need to step away from everything and just enjoy the simple moments."

A waitress approached their table, and Shubman ordered two cups of coffee. As they waited, they continued to talk, their conversation flowing effortlessly from one topic to another. 

It was in these moments of simplicity that they found their deepest connection, the bond between them growing stronger with each passing second.

The coffee arrived, steam rising from the cups, adding to the cozy atmosphere of the café. Shubman took a sip, his eyes never leaving Preethi's. 

"You know," he began, his tone turning more serious, "these last few months have been incredible. Being with you has made everything so much more meaningful."

Preethi's heart swelled with emotion at his words. "I feel the same way, Shubman," she replied, her voice tender. "You've brought so much joy into my life. I can't imagine it without you."

Shubman reached over, gently brushing a strand of hair from her face. "I love you, Preethi," he said, his voice filled with sincerity and passion.

Preethi's eyes shimmered with tears of happiness as she squeezed his hand. "I love you too, Shubman," she whispered, her heart overflowing with love.

Their moment was interrupted by the soft chime of Shubman's phone. He glanced at the screen, seeing a message from the team manager. 

"Looks like they need us back soon," he said with a sigh, though his eyes still held that playful glint. "But we still have a little time."

Preethi nodded, understanding the demands of their busy schedules. "Let's make the most of it," she said, smiling brightly.

They finished their coffee, savouring each sip and the warmth of their connection. As they stepped back out into the bustling streets of London, Shubman wrapped his arm around Preethi's shoulders, pulling her close.

"You know," he said, his voice thoughtful, "every moment with you feels like an adventure. I can't wait to see where life takes us next."

Preethi leaned into him, her heart full of love and anticipation. "Me too, Shubman," she replied, her voice filled with hope. "Together, we can handle anything."

Back at the hotel, the bustling activity of the team preparing for the match welcomed them. Shubman and Preethi exchanged knowing smiles as they entered, each feeling rejuvenated by their brief escape. 

As they walked through the lobby, Shubman's teammates greeted them with friendly nods and waves.

"Hey, lovebirds," Ishan called out teasingly, a grin plastered on his face. "Enjoy your little coffee date?"

Preethi laughed, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Yes, we did. Now, are you ready to take on the competition?"

Ishan shrugged playfully. "Always. But I think Shubman here is more energized than any of us after his time with you."

Shubman rolled his eyes but couldn't suppress a smile. "Alright, enough teasing. Let's focus on the game, shall we?"

As they reached the team's suite, the atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation. The match against England was crucial, and everyone was determined to give their best performance. Preethi, always the professional, quickly got back to her duties, her tablet in hand as she coordinated with the team staff.

Shubman watched her for a moment, admiration shining in his eyes. She was dedicated and efficient, a vital part of the team's support system. It was one of the many things he loved about her.

Just then, Sai approached, clapping a hand on Shubman's shoulder. "Hey, Shubman, ready for the big game?"

Shubman nodded, his focus sharpening. "Absolutely. We've got this."

Preethi glanced up from her work, catching Shubman's eye. She gave him a reassuring smile, her silent support bolstering his confidence. With a nod, Shubman turned to join his teammates, his determination renewed.

As the hours passed, the team went through their final preparations. Strategies were discussed, and last-minute adjustments were made. Preethi moved seamlessly among them, ensuring everything was in place.

Finally, it was time to head to the stadium. The bus ride was filled with a mix of nerves and excitement. Shubman sat beside Preethi, their hands brushing occasionally as they talked quietly.

"You're going to do great," Preethi whispered, her voice filled with conviction. "I believe in you."

Shubman squeezed her hand gently. "Thanks, babe. Your belief means the world to me."

At the stadium, the atmosphere was electric. Fans filled the stands, their cheers echoing through the air. Shubman and the team walked out onto the field, the weight of the match pressing down on them, but they stood tall, ready to face the challenge head-on.

The match began with a flurry of activity. Shubman was in top form, his movements precise and powerful. Every hit, every run, was a testament to his skill and determination. And throughout it all, he could feel Preethi's eyes on him, her presence a constant source of strength.

As the game progressed, the tension mounted. The scores were tight, and every play counted. In the final moments, Shubman found himself facing a crucial delivery. He took a deep breath, his focus unwavering.

With a powerful swing, he sent the ball soaring into the stands, securing a crucial victory for his team. The stadium erupted in cheers as his teammates rushed to congratulate him.

Amid the celebration, Shubman's eyes searched for Preethi. He found her standing on the sidelines, her face glowing with pride and joy. Without a second thought, he ran to her, pulling her into a tight embrace, lifting her up and spinning her around slightly.

"We did it," he whispered, his voice choked with emotion.

Preethi hugged him back, her heart full. "You did it, Shubman. I'm so proud of you."
