THIS MADE ME CRIMSON RED WHILE I WAS WRITING.

istg-

for my love Lovesofsm

* HIDES *
I have no idea what crap I wrote hehe.

Saakshi  woke up with a yawn to the pale morning sunlight peeping through the curtains. She rolled over to check the time, after keeping the hand over her chest softly away. 8 AM. She has much time to get ready and report to office. 

"Wake up, it's morning." She softly nudged the man still sleeping, her cheeks becoming crimson red remembering the talks they shared under the moonlight last night, and more.

"Good morning,"  the reply came, as he woke up, rubbing his eyes, his voice was tired, with the usual presence of softness,"We're not late? Are we?"

" It's 8 and 10 AM is the deadline for us, a bit more, though, for the star boy, aka you."

"I want some more sleep, barely slept the night." He mumbled as he pressed his lips on hers.

" Not now! Stop and let me go, I need to get ready and you get -"

She scolded, even though she loved to have his lips on her, all the time.

He let her go with a pout, "Accha fine!"

"Wait for me!" He yelled, trying to finish his toast and scrambled eggs as soon as he can.

Saakshi, having done with her breakfast paused in her track towards the door and turned around, with a playful look,

"Don't you know we can't arrive there together?" 

"UH-okay bye, I'll arrive there exactly half an hour or so after you."

"Don't forget to lock the door, love! Bye!"

Her voice trailed off as she went out.

He smiled and stared  at their photos in the secret folder of his gallery.

Oh how much he loves her.

He confesses it almost everyday, randomly and at overwhelming moments, but feels it's not even though she replies him the same way, always.

The boys shared amused looks and enjoyed their team manager yelling at Dhruv who had forgotten to submit some important documents for their next tour.

"Am sorry, am sorry, I promise I'll submit them tomorrow." Dhruv pleaded, horrified, as the team manager can be really scary when needed, "This is the last time I'll do this, Saakshi."

"Fine." Saakshi cooled down.

Yes, Saakshi is the Team Manager of Indian Men's Cricket Team. It has been almost two years she's doing this and she loves the job and the family she got because of it.

"Who are yet to arrive?" Rohit asked, looking at the clock.

"Jassi Bhai, Yuzi Bhai, Rinku, Abhishek and..."

"Good morning!" Pushing the glass door, he entered with his usual smile and softness.

Dev, Devdutt Padikkal.

The subtle smirks exchanged between him and a certain someone was noticed only by Ishan, who was trying not to tell anyone else or show the lovebirds that he knows the "secret."

Nothing can escape his eyes.

The blushed looks they share, the looks of annoyance and jealousy he has when someone randomly approaches her, the faint marks of lipstick on his cheek, her unlocked phone with notifications from Dev👅 apologizing to her for finishing her cookies, or a lot of subtle interactions on tours or hangouts  which he better not talk about, or when during this party he pulled into a vacant room or when they two frequently went off during holidays, or when -

Well the list is endless.

"Yaar, my mom is eating my brain up asking when am going to settle down!" Shubman whined, having another rant session in break.

"And I thought it's just my mom." Rishabh sighed as he slapped Dhruv's hand away, who was trying to sneak away a piece of chicken from his plate.

"Atleast you boys have your ladies. We  are so single, haina?" Riyan nudged Dev, who was tight-lipped.

Saakshi tried her best to not chuckle.
She just gave a smirk in the direction of her man, who looked for a way to escape.

"Sacchi, pata nahi to kab settle hoga, Dev. Itna introvert hona theek nahi. Atleast date someone!" Virat muttered.

"What if I am already in a relationship?" Dev spoke out loud, earning various reactions from others and internal somersaults from his lady.

"What?"
"Kabse?"
"Huh?"
"You're not lying, right?"

Dev ignored the kick under the table from Saakshi and maintaining a straight face, replied, "Am serious. It's just 11 months and I believe with my soul she's the one. And am lucky you know. Because she deserves better but chose me."

"Pyaar mein dubta jaa Raha aur Hume bhanak bhi nahi?"
Yuzi gasped.

"We won't pester you about her, but keep her happy, whoever she is. She sounds really nice." Virat said, at the end after Dev had narrated about the mannerisms of her.

Saakshi was fidgeting with the food in her plate.
These people are being so dramatic already. What will be in store when they'll reveal?
Outside chaos is inevitable but internal?

Dev, sitting beside her, held her hand under the table, giving it a squeeze, and removed before anyone could notice it and their exchanging glances.

"You're insatiable, Devdutt Padikkal." She giggled, as her laughter resonated with his while he twirled at her in the air.

Whatever comes in their path, it will be worthwhile as long as they're with each other.

"Only for you, my love." His eyes spoke volumes,like always, as he  took her in for a kiss, again.
This time, a longer one that the previous, with both fighting for dominance with their tongues.

After they broke out taking their own sweet time, she rested her head on his bare chest and drew patterns on it with her finger while he muttered sweet words in her ears like always, like the usual nights they share together.

"I love you."

"I love you."

They both knew, as long as they have eachother, it's enough. Life is already in a rhythm, isn't it?

ABSOLUTE CRAP THIS IS.
MIGHT DELETE LATER.
