Unexpected love

Sulking

The next day....

Today was the day of of Gt's 6th IPL match against KKR (Shubman's first IPL team).

Shubman woke up in the morning and freshened up. He then proceeded to the dining room for breakfast. He saw you there and came to talk.

Shubman - Hey. Good morning.

You - Good Morning (smile).

He didn't smile back.

You - What's with the mood?

Shubman - Nothing.

It then hit you.

You - Dont tell me you are sulking again cuz you have to compete with your previous team.

( It was a habit of his. He always used to sulk about how he doesn't want to play against KKR since it was his first IPL team and he received a lot of love and identity because of the team.)

Shubman - ahhh(he groaned)  you know I hate playing against KKR.

He whined and you could swear he looked soooo cute. You cooed at his cuteness but composed youself.

You - You can't just sulk around everytime you have to play against them, Shubman. I understand your emotional connection but you got the love and identity because you had potential. You worked hard for all of it and didn't just rely on your talent. I am sure that KKR would be happy to see you play well and they would be looking forward to play against you. So show them how good you have gotten and that their expectations from you weren't in vain.

After hearing your long encouraging speech, he smiled and it was a genuine smile. You knew your speech worked ( it always did). This was the very reason that the entire GT team used you as their weapon against Shubman if they ever wanted anything. They would ask you to convince him for vecation, team party or break from practice. They would make a sulking baby face if you tried to deny so you had no other option than to convince Shubman. Though you were the princess of the team and everyone in the team adored you.

Shubman - Alright, I will givecmy best and won't lower their expectations.

You smiled. You were almost done with your breakfast when you phone rang. You saw the caller id and excused yourself to talk to the person.

You didn't notice that Shubman had glanced at your phone and saw the caller id as well. It was 'that Raman guy'. By now he was already quite irritated at him.

'Why does that leech have to talk to her all the time?' he thought to himself.

Well he was exaggerating. Raman didn't call you all the time since he didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable. He was a sweetheart. He knew his boundaries and never tried to cross them. He wanted to give you time to sort out your true emotions and then take a step.

But Shubman didn't think about those at all. For him Raman was a 'chipku' who always tried to stick to you. Well he himself didn't know that he thought all these cuz he was ~jelly jelly~

Time skip--

It was almost 7 pm. The teams cpatains had came for the toss and Shubman won the toss. He chose batting first. After giving the interview, he came back to the dreassing room. There was half an hour left for the match to start. You went to him and wished him luck.

So yeah this much for today. I was thinking of skipping the ipl part since I dont know how to write about the matches. My writing does not enought intensity required to depict a cricket match. Idk if that makes sense....
