You're My Only One

Chapter 3

P.O.V Shahrukh

We've finished our work. I'm exhausted. It's not that easy. I picked up my briefcase from the asphalt.

- Shah - I looked at Kajol. She was holding a hose. She turned it on and I tried to run away from the spray. She got me wet after all. I had nothing left to lose. I ran after her. I've already ripped the hose from her and I look at her.

- I'm wet now. I spun around and took off my shirt. I gotta wring it out.

- But I'm... - she looked at my body.

- I'm getting back at you, - the green-eyed girl said with a sly smile. There was no point in putting the shirt back on. I walked over to her.

- I deserve a kiss, -  I pointed to her cheek again.

- Not yet - she turned around and walked to the car. I ran faster than her to the car.

- I'm not letting you go, milady, not until I get a kiss. - I pointed to my cheek again.

- Well, then we'll just be here until school opens! - she crossed her arms. I'm not leaving without a kiss. I think my clothes are starting to dry, and she won't let me. She's stubborn. I like that kind of girl.

- Okay - I got up off the asphalt.

- If that's the case, at least give me a ride home. I don't have a car. - She got off the hood and got into the car. I got in the car, too, and we started driving.

- Where do you find a soccer class around here? - I wanted to start a conversation. I couldn't drive in silence. Even though I knew where there were places. I still asked.

- The school does. So it's true? - I looked at her hands, then looked at her beautiful face.

- Yeah, I'm with the White Lions. I was the captain of the team, I had a thriving career, I was getting good money for the games, but it all went in the wrong direction and ..... - I said sadly and shrugged.

- Ritik is the captain of our team. We haven't won a game in three months, - I looked out the window at the signs, then turned my head to her. I like that she knows soccer.

- Are they recruiting new players? - I turned my head toward her.
- Starting Wednesday, they're starting to try out for the team - so we made it home.

- Thanks for the ride - I looked into her green eyes.

- Didn't I deserve a kiss? - she shook her head no.

- When you win the first game on our team, I'll give you a kiss, - she said looking at me. Now I was motivated to win.

- I never lose, - I said smugly, and got out of the car.

I followed her before she turned the corner. This is the first girl who gave me the incentive for a single kiss on the cheek. If it had been any other girl, she would have dragged me to bed by now. I walked into the house and still in my wet jeans made my way to my parents' kitchen.

Rani and I had a nice chat yesterday and we went out. We walked around town and went to the beach. Those skanks that were trying to hit on me had changed. Everyone was surprised when Ritik and I shook hands after our so-called fight. It's team tryouts today. I've been on my feet since 4:00 and I have to run until 7:00. Now my sister and I were running.

- That's it, that's it, - Aish barely spoke. She was exhausted.

- Come on. We only ran 5 kilometers. - I said, running in place. She raised her head, holding her stomach.

- I have team tryouts today, - I said and started squatting.

- Is it because of that girl? - Aishwarya said sharply, folding her arms across her chest. I stopped practicing.
