Chapter 2

Zoya Pov:

Under-19s Cricket Match:

We arrived at under-19s Cricket Match.

Which is held between New Zealand and Australia under-19s player.

An agent you know Conner guide us towards the VIP area. We sit on our seats to saw the match.

Conner sits beside me wearing the sun glasses hiding his beautiful indigo eyes. I tried not to stare at him to match.

Focus Zoya we are here for an important task not to simp over the no 1 batsman  Conner Slade.

I remember that time when i first become his PR three years ago the first month we just had awkward talks between us but as the time goes by we became comfortable with eachother.

I realized that as a captain he's in alot of pressure.

From the last three years he's trying to win the cup but every time we just lose the match with some mistakes.

I remember last year when we lost a semi final match.

Conner appears on the big screen talking to the bowler about the last over.

Their semi final match to qualify for final is held in Indian Cricket Ground between New Zealand and Netherland.

Netherland need 4 runs in 6 balls.

I know that we are loosing the match but still i prayed for some miracle to happen.

Conner tensed faced appears on the screen his face looks  emotionless.

The bowler throw the ball, the batman hits the ball i saw as conner run towards the boundry trying to stop the ball he dived to stop the ball but unfortunately the ball already hit the boundry line.

I saw as conner lies on the ground his hat lying on the ground.

Every player on the ground stops dead on his track. Netherland celebrate their win.

I saw as Zack walks towards conner picking up his hat and helping him getting up.

His whole face red telling me that how disappointed he is.

I quickly ran towards him not wanting any reporter to approach him and ask stupid question about his team performance.

I approached him "Conner that's okay you did great" i tried to comfort him.

He ignored my words and walked inside to his suite.

I followed him inside "Zoya please leave me alone"

"No you need me" i said

"For Fuck sake i don't need any sympathy. I again failed to win the cup" he growls.

I saw as he rubs his hand and hiss.

I eyed his palms to saw rash.

I quickly held his palm to saw the redness. I remember he dived to stop the ball he probably rubbed his hand hard on the ground.

I searched around the suite for the medical kit i found the one on the side table. I quickly take out the ointment.

"Your plam" i stretched my hand for him to place his palm on my hand.

"I'm fine just leave me alone"

Stubborn...

Getting frustrated i grab his hamd carefully holding his fingers tightly.

I slowly put the ointment on his palm rubbing slowly. He hiss, i slowly blow air on his palm.

After applying the ointment on both if his palm i looked up to see him staring at me.

I blinked slowly my cheeks burning by his intense gaze.

I cleared my throat steping back to place the ointment back on the kit.

I clean my hands with a tissue turning towards him "I know you are upset. The match was important for you but it's okay to loose i know you are trying from the start to give your best but sometimes we have to accept our fate. We can't achieve everything. So just appreciate what we have right now. Life will give us more chances so don't get disheartened and come back stronger." I smiled reassuring him that everything is going to be okay but inner me also wants to see him win the cup. After watching him making strategies and practicing so hard and still loosing the match makes my heart sad.

I turned around leaving to prepare for the interview.

I smiled remembering that time.

At that night i prayed for him to win a Cup under his captaincy before our contract ended.

His team hired me to arrange everything for him from his practice session to his meetings with the Chairman.

After working with him I'm now aware of everything around him.

He has a sister and mother his father died years ago.

The same is for me I'm actually from Spain but my dad shifted here for his job when i was young from that day we are living in New Zealand. Mom, Dad and me.

I was lost in the memories when Conner taps my thigh my body heats up by his sudden action.

"You are not paying attention Miss Mark. I bring you here to help me out not to zone out" he said looking at the match.

I saw as the match is already started "I'm sorry.. I'll keep my focus now"

He nods.

We watched the match for the next 30 minutes.

I saw as the New Zealand younger bowler get back to back two Wickets everybody cheered for him.

I saw as conner lips curved in a beautiful smile.

His cream skin shining in the sun making him look unreal.

He turned towards me catching me staring at him. He removed his glasses revealing his perfect indigo eyes that makes me go crazy whenever i looked at him.

He smirks before saying "I think we have found what we were searching for let's go"
