A few months later, the bustling city of London was alive with excitement as the Indian cricket team prepared for an important match series. Preethi found herself in the team's hotel, diligently working on her tablet in the lounge area, her focus completely absorbed by her notes and schedules.
The soft hum of conversations and the occasional clink of glasses created a comforting background noise as she worked. She was so engrossed in her task that she didn't notice the familiar figure approaching her from behind.
Suddenly, she felt strong arms wrap around her waist, and a surprised gasp escaped her lips as she was gently pulled up from her seat. Before she could react, she found herself being guided into the adjacent room, the door swiftly shutting behind them.
"Shubman! What are you doing?" Preethi exclaimed, a mixture of surprise and amusement in her voice as she turned to face him.
Shubman grinned down at her, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "I couldn't resist, babe," he replied, his voice low and filled with affection. "You've been working so hard, and I missed you."
Preethi's heart melted at his words, her initial surprise giving way to a warm sense of affection. "I missed you too, love," she said softly, her hands resting on his chest as she looked up into his eyes.
Shubman leaned in closer, his breath warm against her ear as he whispered, "I thought we could use a little break. Just you and me."
Preethi's cheeks flushed with warmth as she smiled up at him. "You always know how to make me feel special," she murmured, her voice filled with love.
Shubman chuckled, his fingers gently caressing her waist. "That's because you are special, Preethi," he said sincerely. "Every moment with you is a gift."
Feeling her heart swell with emotion, Preethi wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a tender kiss. Their lips met in a sweet, lingering embrace, the world outside their private bubble fading into insignificance.
As they finally pulled away, Shubman pressed his forehead against hers, his eyes filled with adoration.
"How about we sneak away for a bit?" he suggested, his voice filled with playful excitement.
"I know a cozy little café nearby. We can grab some coffee and just... be together."
