Sam's POV:
"Since you called first, I'll let you go first!" Adhi sounds a bit worried but serious at the same time.
"Adhi, did you know me before our switch?" I get straight to the point, not concerned with his serious tone. There's a long pause followed by a heavy sigh.
"Can we talk about this in person? I don't want to do this over the phone," his tone is so soft that it makes me more worried.
"Okay, then come down. I'm in front of... my house!" Before I can finish my sentence, I see him on the balcony.
"What are you doing here? Your parents will kill me if they see me out with a boy! As much as I love your body and you, I don't want to die in it!" That line shouldn't affect me in a situation like this, but I'm actually blushing.
"I won't be able to sleep without getting my answers, Adhi!" I say, still looking up at him. He just gives a small smile and says, "I promise I will tell you everything, Sam! Tomorrow! I promise, please just go home safely and sleep! Okay?" Before I can respond, his voice turns serious, "You have some serious answering as well, Sameera Reddy!"
He makes our name sound so good. I always thought it was just a voice thing, but I just realized it's who says it and how they say it!
Are you seriously falling for that person? Now? I don't think it's the right time, you idiot! Get over it! He has lied to me!
Technically, he didn't tell you that you were a complete stranger to him before!
Ugh, I hate you, Consy!
Ah, whatever. Adhi loves me!
He did not say anything like that! Stop dreaming!
Ah, look who's saying that?
I turn away from the balcony, my mind still swirling with confusion and emotions.
***
Adhi has been staring at me for the past 16 minutes and 40 seconds. Oh yes, I started counting the moment he came in and began staring at me without saying a word. We're in his room; his parents aren't home, and Laks is out for her friend's birthday.17 minutes, 20 seconds. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26—"I first saw you in the Chidambaram Stadium, here in Chennai, on the 3rd of April." Adhi finally breaks the silence, his voice soft yet tinged with a hint of amusement. "You were right next to our stands," he continues. "You were wearing a Dhoni 7 jersey but shouting and cheering for KL Bhai!" He chuckles, a sound that feels warm and light, like the first notes of a familiar song.
His laughter tugs me out of my thoughts, and I feel a sudden rush of embarrassment. I remember that day all too well. The energy of the stadium, the thrill of the match...and the moment I got carried away, cheering so loudly that—
"Once you shouted his name so loud the camera caught you, and you hid away, embarrassed!" Adhi continues, his smile growing wider as he relives the memory. His eyes sparkle as he watches me, and I can feel my cheeks burning, the memory bringing back that same wave of self-consciousness.
He leans in slightly, closing the space between us, his gaze still locked on mine. "You were so adorable, trying to disappear into the crowd like that," he says softly, the playfulness in his tone melting into something gentler, something more intimate.
My heart skips a beat, and I can feel the atmosphere around us shift, the room filled with a kind of magic that wasn't there before. The world outside seems to fade away, leaving just the two of us in this moment.
"I couldn't take my eyes off you," Adhi admits, his voice barely above a whisper now. "I didn't know your name, but I knew that I had to find you, to see that smile up close."
His words are like a melody, each one drawing me closer to him, making my heart flutter in ways I didn't expect. I don't know what to say, but I don't need to say anything. The way he's looking at me says it all.
But I can't do this!
I shouldn't be this close to him.
We were not supposed to get into this position!
I can't allow him to fall in love with me!
Why does he have this effect on me?
He starts leaning closer, our lips almost touching, but his eyes keep me in place. "But when I woke up in your body that day, Sam... Looking at myself in the mirror and seeing you... I felt one thing—happy that I finally found you and also confused! Sameera, I lov—"
I don't let him finish. I slightly push him and stand up, trying to create some distance between us. "So you saw me in one of your matches, but how did KL and Harry Bhai know?"
I feel a pang of guilt seeing the hurt in his eyes, but I can't let this happen. He stands up, and the tone of his voice is difficult to place—is it disappointment? Sadness? Guilt? Regret? "I couldn't stop thinking about you, and I couldn't stop talking about you with KL Bhai. That's how they know you. We watched the match together when they showed you on the screen."
I don't know what to say or even think. My mind is a whirlwind of emotions—confusion, fear, and something I don't want to acknowledge. This was never supposed to happen. We weren't supposed to get so close, to share something so personal.
I take a deep breath, trying to steady myself. "Adhi, we can't... we shouldn't...," I start, but my voice falters.
He looks at me, his eyes filled with an emotion I can't decipher, and for a moment, I think he's going to argue, to push back. But instead, he just nods, the hurt still evident on his face. "I know, Sameera," he says softly. "I know."
The room feels colder, the warmth from earlier fading away, leaving an uncomfortable silence between us. I want to say something to make it better, to ease the tension, but the words won't come. Instead, I stand there, feeling more lost and conflicted than ever before.
As the silence stretches on, I realize that things between us may never go back to the way they were. And I can't help but wonder if I've just made the biggst mistake of my life.
After a solid 10 minutes of silence, his voice breaks through the stillness. "So, were you going to hide the fact that you were on the Indian team?"
I turn to stare at him, my eyes wide in shock. How did he know?
