Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess

If he felt like he was in cloud nine before, now he felt as if he was practically in heaven. Adam couldn't stop grinning as he made his way to the exit. His whole being was glowing as he reached the exit. And in his giddy state, he ran straight into the glass doors without realizing.

"Ouch…"

But then he heard someone laugh their a.s.s off right behind him and a before he could even look back to see who it was, Adam felt a hand over his shoulders and the familiar voice say, "You are a goner babe!!"

"Shut up, Akash…" Adam flung his hand from over his shoulders and walked out of the hospital and this time he actually opening the door.

"Oh, would you look at that, he actually knows how to open doors now all of a sudden!!" Akash teased once again flinging his arm around his shoulders and crackled.

"I said shut up Akash!!" Adam said irritated but then also slightly blushed.

"Oww… Look at that!! He is also blushing!!" But this time it was a different voice teasing him.

Adam let out a frustrated groan. He knew he was never going to live it down. Thank god they did not see him make fool of himself in front of Preethi or else he would be dead meat.

"Not you too Shreya. And you are late!!" Adam said giving her a hug.

Originally, Shreya was supposed to help him check out. But since she was a no show, he had to call Akash instead.

Shreya just gave him a sheepish grin and said cheekily, "I slept in!! And then when I did woke up, I was distracted by a certain someone. So I did not really realize what time it was."

Adam just gave her a grin and pulled her closer by her neck and swatted on her forehead playfully as a punishment.

"Next time, that should make you remember your friends when you are with your boyfriend!!"

"Oh really. Well, let's see how much you remember your friend in one month's time!!" Shreya replied sarcastically rubbing the place he had just beat.

Adam just gave her a big goofy grin and said in an extremely smug voice, "More like in a week's time actually. I have a date next Sunday!!" He seemed awfully proud of himself. But if only they knew, he was about to run away with tail between his legs without even asking!! And that the only reason he does have a date because Preethi found him amusing!!

"What??? You asked her out??" Shreya exclaimed looking extremely shocked!! Given Adam's nervousness, she had deduced it would take him at least 5 tried to bring it up. But then she did not figure in Preethi into the picture. So she was shocked would be an understatement.

"Yup…" He said with a grin but also crossed his fingers behind his back. Well, he can't really up and say everything that had just happened now can he?? That would be heights of embarrassment but then it wasn't a total lie since he did have a date this Sunday!!

"Why are you crossing your fingers??" Akash asked right beside his ears startling the shit out of him.

Adam jumped and moved away slightly and glared at Akash.

"Stop doing that!!"

"Don't change the topic…"

This playful banter and teasing went on all the way to the office. Even when they were getting out the elevator, Akash and Shreya were at it.

But then Akash spotted a grey hair and instantly went running towards John. He engulfed John into a hug. Akash was John's pet. It had been like that since forever. John always sided with Akash in all their playful banter no matter who was at fault or who was lying.

That is why, Akash made an extremely aggrieved face and pointed at Shreya and Adam and complained pitifully, "Look, uncle, these two are bullying me for being the only single dog. They were teasing me all the way from the hospital…" He even dramatically wiped away his invisible snots.

Adam gaped at him in disbelief. Was he serious?? Who was teasing whom!!? But he knew there was no explaining to his dad. Everyone knew how much John babied Akash. So he just glared at Akash but did not really say anything back.

John, on the other hand, put his arms around Akash and looked at both Shreya and Adam with a slight glare. Akash winked at Adam with a huge grin pissing him off. Adam was just about to use his fists when Shreya kept an arm over his shoulders and gave him a look that said I will handle it.

You should know, Akash is a curious cat. So when you say something and leave the sentence midway, it pissed him off. So purposely Shreya went near Akash and said in teasing and extremely sarcastic tone, "Well, we have BF and GF because we go around with our eyes open. And you are still a single dog because you roam around with your eyes closed!!"

She did not bother to explain anything more making Akash frown in confusion.

"What do you mean Shreya?? I do see with my eyes open!!" Akash replied irritated and followed Shreya as she walked to her office forgetting everything else around him. He kept asking her endless amount of questions regarding what she said just now but Shreya never replied to a single one. And for Akash it was torture.

Adam let out a laugh. After all, he did not expect anything less from Shreya. She was a she-devil in denim as far as he was concerned.

John looked at his son's happy face. He went in and brought him into a bear hug and asked, "Are you okay?? Why are you back in the office so soon??"

Adam's face softened at his concerned voice. He had always been close to his dad. It may be an occupational trait or it may be because their thinking just synced but he shared everything with John.

"I am okay pops. Don't worry. Doc gave me a clean bill of health. I even have a date with one this Sunday!!" Adam comforted him wrapping his arms around John.

"So you do have a girlfriend??" John asked looking at his son surprised. After all, he knew how shy Adam was inside all that tough-guy exterior.

"Well, not exactly a girlfriend. But there is someone I like right now!!"

After that Adam told John all about Preethi without losing his grin even for a second.
