That night, after Akira and Charan had fallen asleep… Shreya snuck out of her apartment. She left one of her guys to keep an eye on them of course.
As she reached the parking lot… she saw Srinivas standing there. Her lips twitched unconsciously as she sprinted towards him and crash-landed hugging him.
He simply held her with a smile and called out, "Brat!!"
Shreya scowled at that and glared at him pulling away…
"I did not miss you… at all!!" She said turning her head and pouting. She even stomping away from him childishly and got into her car.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#!!_51599857437171927">#!!_51599857437171927</a> for visiting.
Srinivas chuckled shaking his head helplessly at her antics. He followed her and got behind the wheels. But he did not start the car… instead he turned towards her and asked, "How have you been those two days? You were scared, weren't you?" Concern laced in his voice.
Shreya's face stiffened and went cold instantly… she did not really want to remember them more than she already does. And when she thought of the people responsible… she couldn't help but fist her palms and grit her teeth.
"Let's go…" She said with a stiff expression…
Srinivas understood Shreya did not want to talk about it… so, he let her be but he still ruffled her head and said, "I missed you…"
At last, Shreya's expression softened a bit… just so slightly as Srinivas started the car.
It took then only 10 minutes to reach the office… Srinivas did not bother taking the car to the parking lot instead parked it in front of the lobby and both went in together.
But before they could even fully get out of the elevator, they were met with a very grumpy looking Zeenath waiting for them just outside the doors…
Shreya just rolled her eyes and walked through the corridors with Zeenath hot on her trails complaining at the top of her…
"Shreya!! Don't you think you are being inhuman!! Why do I have to attend a meeting in the middle of the freaking night just because you can have a lovely day with your boyfriend!! And on top of that, you actually have the nerve to be late!!!"
Shreya did not take her seriously. She just rolled her eyes and gave back with equal sass…
"Don't be such a wuss, Zee. You wouldn't be sleeping even without the meeting at this hour. You are just being jealous that your boyfriend came and reported to me as soon as he was off the plane without coming to see you!!"
Srinivas's lips cracked unconsciously looking at Shreya pushing him straight into the line of fire to get away scot-free…
Zee fumed instantly… whether Shreya was right or wrong, her mind fumed instantly after hearing Shreya…
"I AM NOT BEING JEALOUS!! I am asking a very reasonable question here… and you… you stop smiling!!" Zee exclaimed frustrated at the pair of wolves giving her an amused smile at her expense…
Zeenath stomped towards Srinivas in such vigor that he actually took a step back afraid but he did not lose his smirk…
"You… you did not bother to make a single call to me in two weeks but happily chatted with this brat for hours, DAILY. So, you don't get to smile!!!" Zeenath fumed pointing her fingers at Srinivas furiously.
Even though Srinivas looked very decent, he was a fox when it came to things… so, he purposely never called Zeenath even once when they were on the island… he wanted to rile her up as much as possible.
But before Srinivas could come up with a reply, Shreya's voice rang from behind them sarcastically, "Don't you think you are missing something, Zeenath? Don't you think you should first correct me with the fact that Srinivas is not your boyfriend? As far as my information goes, you are still hanging on the cliff, too scared to let go…!!"
Zeenath gave Shreya a nasty look while Srinivas chuckled.
Unknownst to her, Zeenath's cheek's blushed when she realized what Shreya was implying. She scolded herself nicely for making such a slip-up, that too in front of these two people….
Shreya, of course, noticed that gleam in Srinivas's eyes… and not wanting to be too bright a lightbulb, she walked away leaving the two behind.
Zeenath did not even notice Shreya walking away.
Srinivas, of course, did. He approached the frozen Zeenath with a mischievous gleam.
"You are not jealous but I am your boyfriend, right? Got it!!" He uttered very slowly to her ears. Nobody who heard it can ever miss the teasing in his voice.
Zeenath's cheeks flamed every more but her eyes focused coming out of her daze.
"I AM NOT JEALOUS!!" Zeenath flared once again but then realized she had missed the point all over again…
Srinivas couldn't help but chuckle. He had never seen Zee like it before… He had always seen her wild with that stubborn attitude… she had never been fl.u.s.tered before him. It was really refreshing to watch her like this…
Even when he knew it was silly, he felt a sense of misplaced pride seeing her like this… but most parts of him were happy seeing her opening up at last. He had been looking forward to this day for a while now.
Not in a million years he thought he would feel something so silly but so warm towards someone…
War had numbed him to any positive feelings for a long time now… he always thought his heart had died there and perished. But somehow watching Zeenath, it came to life… somehow he seems to have gone back to being immature… which did not make sense to him for a long while… it still doesn't… but he did not want to dwell on it for now. For now, he just wanted to go with the flow… he just wanted to enjoy this place he is in his life and he likes it.
He dragged Zeenath towards where Shreya had disappeared a few minutes ago…
