Raj🖤

She's… different. Yeah, yeah I know every guy says that. But this is different. I've seen women thrown themselves at me, desperate for my attention. They've even tried everything, but none of it ever truly impressed me.

  I only show interest to those who are aware of my rule or need which is… no serious relationship. I only do flings. But with Jane I don't know why I want to break my own rule.

  Dammit what happened to me?. We've only talked online. Our in person talk was the “Bye” one only. The one that happened in the Stadium parking lot. 

  Nowadays we chat late at night more often after that parking lot incident. Even though she'd been attending every match with her brother.

  She's real. Refreshingly, painfully real. She talks about Darshan Raval all the time and if not Darshan Raval then Shreyas Iyer. She talks about books I've never heard of, ideas that make my head spin, and she does it all with this quiet confidence that's… distracting. And she doesn't even seem to care that I am Raj Shekhawat, the famous footballer. It's… unsettling.

  But that's what makes her special. She doesn't try hard to impress me or do stunts to seek my attention. She's just being herself and I don't know how to describe my feelings towards her.

  I find myself checking my messages constantly. Waiting for that name to pop on. It's pathetic. I am the one who's supposed to be pursued, not the other way around. But with her as I said before… it's different. It's like I am the one trying to impress her.

  She's out of my league, I know that she's… genuine and on the other hand I am the one with so many secrets. But I must say, the day she entered into my life whether as a friend or something. I can see a bit of a sign of light in my dark world.

  I've told myself that I'd conquer this new territory. But now… I am not so sure. This feeling is both terrifying and exhilarating. I can't stop thinking about her. This woman doesn't even seem to notice my charm. It's driving me crazy. And the worst part is, I think I might actually like her and I wasn't prepared for it.

  I couldn't help but smile as I sat on the couch lost in my thoughts. I kept thinking about her and the way she…

  My mom walked into the room, carrying a tray of food, caught me staring off into space. “Raj, beta, what's going on?” She asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice. “You look like you're lost in thought.”

   I quickly looked away, trying to brush it off. “ Nothing, Mom. Just thinking about my upcoming match.”

  But I could tell she didn't believe me. She raised an eyebrow, and I knew I was in for some questioning. I just hoped I could keep my feelings for Jane under wraps… for now.
