"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S ALREADY BEEN 7  MONTHS SINCE WE STARTED DATING?!" Saumya whisper yelled making Shubman laugh as he fell off the couch, clutching his stomach. "I swear, it was like yesterday only we went on our first date," she answered sitting on the floor as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder pulling her closer. "Well, I guess that's what happens when you're having fun I guess. Time flies," he answered flashing her a cheeky smile making her playfully roll her eyes.

"Very funny babe," she muttered nudging him. As Shubman regained his composure, he gazed into Saumya's eyes with a mischievous glint. "Come on, Saumya, admit it. You've been having the time of your life with me," he teased, poking her side gently.

Saumya swatted his hand away, feigning annoyance. "Oh please, don't flatter yourself too much, Gill. You're lucky I put up with you for this long," she retorted with a playful smirk, leaning into his side.

Shubman feigned offence, placing a hand over his heart dramatically. "Ouch, that hurts, Saumya. Here I am, pouring my heart out to you, and this is how you repay me?" he said, pretending to wipe away a tear.

Saumya couldn't help but giggle at his antics, shaking her head in amusement. "You're impossible, you know that?" she said, nudging him affectionately.

"But you love me anyway," Shubman replied, grinning cheekily.

Saumya rolled her eyes playfully. "Yeah, yeah, keep dreaming, Gill."

Despite their demanding schedules as professional cricketers, they always made time for each other, whether it was cheering each other on from the sidelines or stealing moments like this to just be together. Suddenly, Shubman's mischievous grin widened as he reached for Saumya's laptop, which was resting on the coffee table nearby. With a few swift clicks, he pulled up a photo of them sharing a sweet kiss during a recent weekend they had taken.

Saumya's eyes widened in surprise as she caught sight of the photo. "Oh my god, Shubman, you didn't!" she exclaimed, a mixture of embarrassment and amusement flooding her features. Shubman chuckled, holding up the laptop to show her the screen. 

"Oh, but I did," he teased, a playful twinkle in his eyes. "Just thought I'd remind you of how much you adore me."

Saumya couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head in disbelief. "You're shameless, you know that?" she said, though there was fondness in her voice as she leaned in to get a closer look at the photo.

"But you love me," Shubman replied, echoing his earlier sentiment, his gaze softening as he looked at her. Saumya couldn't deny the truth in his words as she felt her heart swell with affection. Leaning in, she pressed a quick kiss to his cheek. "Yeah, I guess I do," she admitted, a bashful smile gracing her lips.

As they sat together, sharing a moment of quiet intimacy amidst the playful banter, Saumya felt a sense of contentment wash over her. In Shubman's arms, she knew she had found someone who truly understood her, someone who made her laugh, and someone who made every moment feel like an adventure.

And as she glanced back at the photo on her laptop screen, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the love they shared, a love that only seemed to grow stronger with each passing day.

"Sweetheart, could you grab me a glass of water?" Shubman requested, giving her a playful grin as he leaned back against the couch cushions.

Saumya nodded, rolling her eyes playfully. "Sure thing, Gill. Don't go causing any trouble while I'm gone," she teased, pushing herself up from the floor and heading towards the kitchen.
