Episode 8: "First Kiss"
Ishan's lips brushed against mine, sending shivers down my spine.
"Shubman, I've been waiting for this moment," Ishan whispered.
"Ishan, I..." I trailed off, lost in his gaze.
Ishan's eyes sparkled.
"Tell me," Ishan urged.
"I've been wanting this for so long," I confessed.
Our lips met again, this time with more intensity.
As we broke apart, gasping for air, Ishan's hands cradled my face.
"Perfect," Ishan whispered.
"Unbelievable," I replied.
We stood there, lost in each other's gaze.
Suddenly, Ishan's phone buzzed on his nightstand. Mayank's name flashed on the screen.
"Answer it," I said. "We can't hide forever."
Ishan hesitated before picking up.
"Hey, Mayank," Ishan said.
Mayank's voice echoed through the phone.
"Dude, where are you? We need to discuss the cricket match. And, by the way, what's going on with you and Shubman?"
Ishan glanced at me.
"Mayank, I'll call you back," Ishan said.
As Ishan hung up, reality set in.
"Our relationship isn't just about us," Ishan said.
"We'll face it together," I replied.
