"I believe nothing would be more thrilling than seeing their shocked faces when they realised that our little Joanna has grown into a woman. Not only a woman but an unstoppable force...,"
"Are you even aware that you have a way of charming people with your words...,"
"Does this mean you have agreed to participate in the upcoming carnival?" Audrey asked anxiously.
Joanna smiled and moved to the bed. She sat on the bed facing the lady who had followed her there.
"How can I say no when you were able to convince me with every point you made...,"
"Yippee!" Audrey screamed, her hands spread in the air like a little kid whom her mum just promised to take on a picnic.
"Are you that happy?" Joanna asked. She couldn't understand why Audrey was so happy.
"Hmm...," Audrey shook her head in affirmation.
"Your major was the only one which hasn't come up with any results despite almost a month and a half of preparation for the carnival. Although we have less than a week to the carnival I believe that you can turn things around for your group...,"
"What gives you that confidence, Big Sis?" Joanna asked playfully.
"Of course, that is because I know the little sister I have and what she is capable of better than anyone else," Audrey teased and fell on top of Joanna's body.
"Hey!" Joanna shouted and tried to push her off her body but Audrey refused to move away.
"My little sister has a knack for giving others a shock so how could I not have this much confidence in her huh?" Audrey mused and pats Joanna's hair like she would have done to a little girl.
"Cut out with it already, Crazy Girl," Joanna laughed and brushed Audrey's hand away from her head but that didn't stop Audrey from repeating the same thing.
Meanwhile, as the two girls played and tossed around the enormous bed Amos was seen in a medium size room with a guy by his side.
The way he stared into space was as if he had no life in him.
"It has been over twenty minutes. At first, I thought you didn't utter a word because the noises at the club made you uncomfortable...," Kyle trailed off.
He kept his gaze glued on the face of a guy whose attention obviously wasn't on him.
"After spending over fifteen minutes here. It's crystal clear that wasn't the problem so can you please say something hmm?" Kyle decided to use the soft approach since the first method he adopted failed.
"As you know, I can only help if you tell me what the problem is," Kyle added.
Kyle tried everything possible to make Amos open up to him about what was wrong and in the end, his efforts turned out to be a total failure.
"I can clearly see that you need none to accompany you, so I will take my leave," Kyle was forced to use his last resort.
He stood up and approached the door. As he walked to the door he silently wished that his action would make Amos speak up.
"I think she is mad at me," Amos spoke up at last.
Kyle, who had already grabbed the door's knob, let go of it, spun and ran back to the couch.
He sat and shifted closer to Amos so that their laps were almost rubbing against each other.
"Who?... Joanna?" Kyle asked, his eyes fixed on the guy whose focus was on the floor.
Amos didn't respond but from his silence, Kyle knew he guessed the correct answer.
"What did she do or say to make you come to this conclusion?" Kyle quizzed in a tender tone.
"Did you both argue?" He asked.
He was aware that trying to force answers out of Amos would do more harm than good and this is why he patiently waited for him to open up on his own.
After what seemed like forever, Amos finally spoke.
"She said she needs space. She is having second thoughts about whether or not what she feels for me is love or obsession," Amos responded with his head still lowered.
"What!" Kyle, who didn't expect this type of answer shouted, his eyes widened in astonishment.
"Despite that I hardened my heart and kept my distance from her, I was so worried about her well-being after the argument I overheard from her home. At that moment revealing my identity was not important as long as I could keep her safe but she was really harsh with her words....," Amos paused to catch his breath.
"I can't count the number of times she has been brutal with her words to me but I can say with certainty that she was the meanest today," He mumbled.
It was after he relayed what happened that Kyle understood why Amos' expression resembled that of a person who just lost someone precious to him.
He has been with Kayden long enough to know that the only person who had the power to hurt him this much was none other than Joanna.
Not even his mother or friends would make him as heartbroken as he was right now.
At first, when he discovered that Kayden liked Joanna he thought it was the feeling of infatuation that any man out there would have towards an extraordinarily pretty and well-endowed lady.
But not long afterwards his assumptions were proved wrong. He was even more awestruck when Kayden told him that he had no intentions of making any lady Queen except her.
Just like everyone he had believed that Joanna was the least lady out there who deserved that position and which was why for a while he believed his friend was out of his mind.
As time progresses, his opinion about her changes as he gets to know her better.
He was a part of every stage of their relationship development. There were also times he became Kayden's master planner for relationship tips.
At the moment he thinks no one deserves the title of the King's legal wife more than Joanna does.
And this was not because Joanna was the prettiest or smartest.
