Against the odds

The secret date

So where are we going?" Shubman asked after driving around for a while
"I'll tell the directions, you follow" Sara replied
"Jo ap kahe madam" Shubman said laughing while Sara slapped his arm lightly, giggling herself

After half an hour of driving, they reached a cliff
"Are we going to hike or something?" Shubman asked, confused
"Well, we have to hike till the top. I don't think it'll be a problem for you anyway" she said shrugging her shoulders at the end
"Yeah, I can use some workout"
They hiked for around 10 minutes before reaching the top(the top of the cliff,p but there were more hills and Cliffs going forward)and Shubman saw the most beautiful scenery in front of him

Don't imagine those huge hills, these are small cliffs that are secluded

He stood there captivated by the nature
"You like it?" Sara asked smiling
"I love it! How did you find a place like this in Mumbai?" Shubman asked, still stunned
"Well, Aly helped me in this. She had once found this place with her boyfriend, and because of how secluded this place is she thought it'll be safe for us to visit here" Shubman nodded and hugged her, kissing her forehead.
"Let's sit now" Sara said pointing towards the the table that had been set up.
"You set it up?"
"Yeah, I came early morning to arrange this"
"You're the best" he exclaimed pinching her cheeks.
"You are no less Mr gill" she said making both of them laugh
"So what are we going to do?"
"I thought of arranging food but I know you are already full and won't eat until next morning, so I dropped the plan" she said shrugging her shoulders
"You know me so well"
"Ofcourse, so now tell me. What should we do?"
"Come on cookie. I know you planned something. Stop teasing me" he said whining
"Ok fine, come with me"
They stood up and walked towards the small pond surrounded by lush green trees.

"Let's click some pictures for memory"
"But we're the only ones here, who'll click our pictures?"
"Don't worry, I have this" she said taking out a camera stand. Shubman's eyes widened
"You seem like in a mood to have a professional photoshoot "
"Ofcourse it's our first outdoor date "
Soon they were clicking pictures

This picture was from a reference she saw when she googled about some cute couple pictures

There he was just trying to tease her by spoiling her hair, after which she was annoyed

Nothing just Shubman trying to pacify his cookie

They clicked more such cute pictures and talked about everything they possibly could.
After a while sun was about to set, they sat on the grass, her head on his shoulder, and his head on her watching the beautiful sunset. The peace surrounding them making it better
"Shub"
"Hmm?"
"If the world goes against us z what will you do?"
"I'll go against the world, and I know you would too" he said kissing her forehead. She lifted her head and looked into his eyes.
His eyes reflecting utmost love, respect and honesty. She slowly leaned in making Shubman's eyes widen in surprise. He remembered Sachin sir's words and wanted to stop her. But as her lips touched his, he forgot everything, every fear, every worry. All he remembered was how her lips felt on his. He melted into the kiss and pulled her closer by her waist, kissing her deeply yet softly. They pulled apart looking at each other, a blush forming on their cheeks.
"Bold move there, Ms Tendulkar"
" What? I know you wouldn't initiate it anyway, so I had to "
"I won't initiate much, but when I do, your face will be as red as a tomato " he said whispering in her ears making a shiver go down her spine
"Which novel did you read?" Sara said blushing, and hitting his chest
"The novel of how to make your girlfriend blush by Shubman gill " he said laughing.
"You're rude " she said hugging him and resting her head on his chest.
"You still love me"
"Unfortunately yes " she said pouting
"How's that unfortunate?"
"Because you're rude "
"Acha baba sorry, I love you " he said smiling and kissing her forehead to which she smiled and hugged him tighter.

I haven't ever written something this cheesy 😭😭
Do let me know what you guys think.
Quick question - you want more such cute moments for the next two chapters, or should I skip to their fights, then resolving and then jump into the world cup?
If you guys are fine with the slow pace, then I'll keep two three more parts before the fight, if not then let me know.
Ok bye y'all
Bleed blue 💙
TOODLES ✨ 💙
