Amos composed himself when he noticed that the lady was waiting for his reply.
"Actually, my girlfriend was just telling me how much she loves the clothes…," Joanna nudged him hard by the side making him unable to finish his sentence.
"Are you ok?" The sales representative asked. Too bad she was a human and couldn't hear what on Earth they had been whispering to each other.
"I am fine… she tends to act a bit aggressive when she is over-excited," Amos smiled in between his teeth.
He ignored her fierce glares.
"We will take the jumpsuit," Amos announced to her surprise of Joanna.
"Are you serious about that?" She asked curiously. "Or didn't you perhaps hear the description she made…,"
"As long as my girlfriend will look spectacular in it, nothing else matters so chill," Amos said beaming.
"I will get it wrapped up in her size then," the sales representative said and walked away to get the task done.
After the lady was gone, Joanna turned to look at Amos properly. "You better recall the words you just said…. Don't regret it later when you see me wear it," She warned.
She strolled away with her chins up and her shoulders held high.
As they walked around, Joanna did more admiring of the clothes than shopping for them.
When he realised that she wouldn't order a single thing, he decided to take full charge of her shopping.
"What do you think of that dress, Girlfriend?" Amos asked. He held her hand and gently dragged her along with him to where the dress was worn on a mannequin.
Joanna looked at the white lace one-shoulder casual dress. Her face lights up as she imagines herself in this high-class dress.
"It's very beautiful but…,"
"Then we will take it," Amos cut in after hearing the words he wanted to hear. His action showed that whatever followed afterwards was not that important.
He turned and passed his orders to the sales representative who had been following them.
Standing there he turned to the right and just then a red dress caught his eyes. He excitedly held Joanna's hands and pulled her along.
"Oh my! Look at this dress. It's just spectacular," His eyes shone as he stared at the long red dress.
The scene of Joanna wearing the long dress popped up into his head. Her mere presence alone was enough to make the other ladies at the party feel inferior to her.
The clanging of her white heels as she approached where he stood under the spotlight made him hold his breath in anticipation.
"You look gorgeous," Amos muttered to the imaginary woman. He didn't realise that he had said the words aloud until she snapped her finger at his face.
"The dress is awesome," Joanna replied absentmindedly.
"The lucky lady to get her hands will not only look sexy and chic but… In fact, any lady who wears it will be in the spotlight the entire day…,"
"And why can't that lucky lady be you huh?" Amos cut in softly. Hearing his words made Joanna divert her gaze to his face.
"Don't tell me you wanna buy it?" Joanna asked frowning.
"Oh my! How did you guess my thoughts so accurately," Amos asked covering his mouth as though he was shocked.
"Stop being silly…,"
"You haven't seen anything yet so I will advise that you save your strength and words for later. Because I can already tell that you will need it later," Amos playfully tapped her on her nose.
He turned and asked the sales representative to get the dress for him.
After the sales representative did what he ordered they went around shopping some more.
The most baffling thing was that ever since they arrived at the boutique he hasn't shopped a single thing for himself.
He didn't even take a glance at the men's section.
On the third floor, Amos came to an abrupt halt in front of the handbag shelves.
On the wooden white shelves, handbags of different varieties and designer collections were neatly arranged on them.
Almost all the handbags on the topmost shelves caught Amos' attention. For a minute he couldn't take his eyes off this beautiful set of accessories.
"That's enough staring ok," Joanna scolded as she grabbed his hands.
"If someone sees the sparkles in your eyes as you stared at the bags they would think you have weird taste…,"
"And let them do that," Amos said not moving even though Joanna was trying to drag him away from the bag section.
"It's not like I care about what others say. The only person's words which can affect me is you," Amos said.
He titled his head so that he was looking right into her eyeballs. "Only your words have the power to hurt me… and that is why you must always be careful with your words around me," He lowered his head so that his face was very close to hers.
Their sudden closeness made Joanna stiffen. The tingling feeling of his warm breath against her bare face made her heart momentarily stop beating.
"You can relax now… and don't forget to breathe," he whispered teasingly and pulled away.
Joanna frowned realising that he was just teasing her.
His sweet smile made Joanna feel the urge to hit him for daring to tease her in front of so many prying eyes.
[Just wait until I put my seducing plans into action… I will make you have a taste of your own medicine]
Joanna stared at the guy whose smile grows brighter as seconds passed.
His smile slowly dissipate when his eyes met her frowning face. "I won't tease you anymore… that is if you don't keep on tempting me so relax," He said, bursting out laughing at his own words.
"Would you stop laughing if I hit you hard on the mouth and cause your three teeth to fall out?" Joanna questioned, showing her grasped fists.
He brought his laughter to an abrupt end. "Isn't it just to stop laughing?" asked Amos as he held her clenched fist and pushed her hand to her side.
"I will do it so there is no need to resort to violence," He said like an obedient boyfriend.
Anyone who saw him will mistake his behaviour for the fear of Joanna when that was far from the truth.
Although he enjoys teasing her, he hates seeing her angry. He would do anything to put a smile on her face.
When he saw that she wasn't angry anymore he brought his attention to the lady standing by his right-hand side.
"We will take all the bags from here to there," Amos said, making sure to mark out his orders with his hands.
Joanna's eyes widened in shock when she saw the number of handbags he wanted to buy.
"Hey, you are not really gonna buy all these bags right?" Joanna demanded his confirmation.
She stretched her hands and held his left sleeve. "Tell me you are kidding?" Joanna tucked his sleeve gently.
