The next morning, Malini woke up still buzzing from the night before. She'd barely slept, replaying every word, every glance, every little touch, over and over again.
She grabbed her phone, smiling as she found a new message from him, sent just a few minutes ago.
Shub Good morning beautiful!
Hope I didn't keep you up late
MJ
Good morning! But I'll blame you if i fall asleep during class
Shub
Well, if you need to stay awake,
just let me know.
I'll keep you entertained.
MJ
So persistent already? 🙄
Shub Hey, when a guy
meets someone amazing,
he doesn't take his chances lightly. 😉
In her painting class, Malini tried to focus, but every now and then she'd feel her phone vibrate with messages from Shubman. Kavya, kept nudging her, catching her grinning down at her phone.
"Alright, spill," Kavya finally demanded, her voice a conspiratorial whisper as the professor lectured on brush techniques.
"It's nothing, really," Malini whispered back, failing to hide the smile.
"Oh, come on. That's a 'someone-said-something-sweet' smile. Who is it?" Kavya pressed.
Malini sighed, still smiling. "Fine. It's... well, you won't believe me. It's Shubman. From the cafe."
