Chapter 11

Zoya pov:

I woke up a bit early today.

Today is an important day we are having a press conference about the team selection and I've to prepare Conner for every type question i came up with.

Press conferences pisses him off cause they ask the stupidest question to him but still we have to do it.

I quickly take a shower and stand infront of wardrobe to what to wear.

I should wear something nice as it's a press conference i should look like a professional PR agent.

I selected the outfit.

A red sleeveless jump suit with a v neckline.

I wear some golden chains with matching golden heels.

I tied my hair in a high ponytail with two stands hanging around.

I finally applied red lipstick to my full lips making them look more kissable.

Also a good perfume to smell nice.

I looked in the mirror feeling pretty.

I checked out the time it's nearly 9am press conference is at 10:30 am i have to prepare for it.

I grab my purse walking downstairs saying goodbye to my mom i left to reach at the venue.

While reaching towards the venue i texted Conner the address where the press conference is being held just to be sure.

I reached the venue where everyone was present there before me.

I walked towards the manager "Good Morning Mr. Brook. Where's Conner I've to prepare him for the questions"

"He's not here yet" he said.

I check the time it's 9:40am. Where is he the conference in about to start in the next 40 minutes and Conner is nowhere to be find.

I dialed his number but it's switched off.

Panic rushed in my veins.

"His is phone is also switched off" i said with worry.

"I don't know what to do" Mr. Brook run a hand through his hair "Everyone is waiting for him to arrive so that they can capture his pictures first"

"I should check outside if he arrived" i suggested he nods his head.

I walked outside the venue towards the parking lot.

I saw as a car passed by me and i automatically regonized it.

I checked the time again 9:50 am.

Conner step outside the car smiling at me.

Anger overtake me, how can he smile like that after being late?.

I walked towards him with anger.

His eyes narrowed looking at my face the smile drop.

I approached him pushing him towards his car door pining him between my hands and death stare.

I bring my face closer to his out breathe mingling.

"I told you to be on time. I even texted you the address again but still you are late and now you are smiling like it's nothing" i growl.

I continued "I prepared all type of questions for you before the interview so that you don't get annoyed or confused by the reporters sudden question but you just take everything as a joke. I'm so sick of your childesh behaviour. I'm-"

I got cut off when he places his palm on my month and suddenly changed out positions my back hitting on the car door his palm covering my mouth, his other hand on my hip.

My gasp got muffled under his palm.

He pressed his body on mine and suddenly I'm aware of every inch of his body his chest brushing against mine making my nipples hard.

His lower body pressed against my sensitive parts. Heat pools inside of me making me wet.

"You are talking too much let me explain" he looked at me with his intense gaze.

I nod my head telling him that I'll listen to him.

He removed his palm from my mouth and i intake a sharp breath my face burning but he didn't move an inch still pining me with his body.

"My car was at service so I've to pick my car up first. That's why I'm late. I'm sorry for the delay" his eyes soften.

My heart melts with his apology "It's okay. We are getting late let's go"

He back away from me making me cold.

As long as i like this tension between us i can't waste more time standing here.

I quickly walked away from him going inside the venue.

I saw Mr. Brook standing "He's here" i told him and he sigh in relief.

Conner walked behind me and the reporters start clicking his photos.

Conner greeted everyone and walked towards the stage sitting on his chair.

I sit next to him with the manager.

"I hope I'm not late" Conner smile.

"No you are not" a female reporter said blushing.

God she's so wiped of him.

Conner winked at her.

I suddenly feel so jealous of her. Every women is whipped of his charms.

I cleared my throat.

Conner leaned down a bit to whisper in my ear "Are you okay ,Miss. Zoya"

I faked a smile "I'm okay"

"Let's start the conference" Conner sits straight.

"So the first question is that, why did you choose Alex for bowling i mean from the last matches he's not bowling well" a reporter asked him.

I saw as Conner jaw ticked definitely a very first question tighered him "It's okay  don't loose your sanity" I whisper to him tapping his knee.

"If he doesn't perform well in last few matches doesn't mean that he's not a good bowler. Do you not remember in the champions trophy he took 5 Wickets and he's practicing daily to improve his bowling and i trust him" Conner said.

The reporter chuckles "Do you think trusting players is enough?"

"For me it is, cause i saw them daily practicing for 4 hours sometimes 6 hours in this hot weather and the way they practice is enough for me to trust them that they are serious towards their job" Conner said glaring at the reporter.

I smiled feeling proud of him the way he defends his team.

"Ok next question, Tell us about why you introduced a new player jist before the cup?" Another reporter asked.

"I noticed from the last test series that we lack a good fast bowler so i thought to introduce a new fast bowler and he's also currently practicing with us daily to enhance his skills" Conner answered every question of the reporters smartly.

Sometimes his sarcastic replies make me laugh and some of his replies makes me realize that how dedicated he is towards his team and how much he love his teammates.
