Shubman had a tough time in the last match and he was really upset about it.

He's been practicing way too hard for the next game which was against SRH.

I was done with my work and was heading back to the hotel after my session with the SRH boys.

The minute I entered the hotel, I noticed Shubman and Kamlesh in the lobby. The boys were laughing about something.

It felt nice to see Shubman laugh.

I couldn't help but chuckle because of the way the two boys were behaving.

Kids, I tell you.

Shubman's eyes fell on me and he quickly called me to where they were standing.

"What're you guys laughing about?" I asked him.

"DK." Shubman stated, still laughing.

"What?" I asked, totally confused.

The boys laughed harder and I had to control myself from rolling my eyes at their behaviour.

"Nevermind." I said, shaking my head.

"Anyway, I'm going to get some coffee, you guys want to join?" I asked them.

"I'm heading back to my room." Kamlesh stated.

"I'll join you." Said Shubman.

"Well, okay. I'll see you later." I told Kamlesh, before hugging him.

"All the best for your date, babydoll." Kamlesh whispered in my ear while hugging me.

I pulled away and looked at him, trying my hard not to smile, but failing miserably.

"Bye." He winked at me, before waving at Shubman.

"So...."

"So?" I asked Shubman, before sipping my coffee.

"You and Kamlesh?"

"Me and Kamlesh what?"

I was so confused as to what he was trying to say.

"You know...." He shrugged his shoulders.

"You know what?" I asked, chuckling.

"Are you guys dating?" He came to the point.

Instead of answering him to the point, I played around, just like him.

"Who told you?"

"No one. I just thought-"

"And, how did this thought come into your mind?" I asked him.

"Well, you guys are pretty close."

"So?" I chuckled.

"I don't know, I just thought so." He said, smiling at me.

I smiled back at him while shaking my head.

"So, are you?" He questioned again, as I sipped my coffee.

"I am, what?"

He facepalmed himself, before asking, "Are you guys dating?"

"No, Shubman. Kamlesh and I are not dating." I cleared it out.

He nodded his head, before sipping his own coffee.

"You must be relieved na?" I joked.

"Relieved about what?"

"I'm not dating him. This means you still have a chance, babe." I winked, before shaking my head and laughing.

"I can't believe I said that." I added.

"I can't believe you said that." He exaggerated, before chuckling himself.

"But you know, I can think about it." Shubman winked, playing along.

"You definitely should. I mean, not everyone is lucky to have a beautiful girlfriend like me, and if you have the chance then you shouldn't miss it."

"I will definitely take that into consideration."

"You should." I shrugged, sipping my coffee.

We joked around for a couple of minutes more, before walking towards our respective rooms.

"Where's your room?" I asked, when I noticed him walking with me.

"You'll see."

We reached my suite in a couple of seconds, and that's when I turned to look at him.

"You're watching the match with us tonight, right?" He questioned.

"Yup." I nodded slowly, while looking at his facial features.

He was talking about something, but I couldn't pay attention to what he was saying.

The boy is really good looking.

"Did you listen to what I just said?"

"Huh? Sorry, I was busy staring at your fa-" I absent-mindedly stated, before slapping my hand on my mouth.

Shubman chuckled, before saying, "Stare at it as long as you want."

He winked at me, and I swear to god I turned into a tomato.

"I.. uhm.. I-I will head in now." I said, struggling to open the door, while Shubman laughed.

"Meher." He called me out.

"Yeah?" I turned around to face him.

"You know, I was kind of serious when I said I'll take it into consideration." He stated.

"What?"

What is the boy talking about?

He smirked at me, and that's when it hit me.

And yet again, I turned into a deep shade of red.

"Why isn't this door opening!" I mumbled, struggling to open the door.

"Meher, just in case, if there's any emergency...." He started saying, while walking towards a room.

"This is my room." He smirked, standing outside his room.

It was just two rooms away from mine.

"I'm so sorry, I was in the bathroom and I had locked this door from inside." Sidiksha said, suddenly opening the door.

I looked at her before turning my attention and looking at Shubman again.

"I'll see you in a couple of minutes. Bye." He winked at me, before entering his room.

"Meher, are you blushing?" Asked Sidiksha.
