Watching him get closer to where she stood, her heart started throbbing.
As if her erratic heartbeat wasn't enough her entire body started getting excited in anticipation of what was gonna happen.
She bit down on her lower lips and clenched her fist but these weren't enough to keep her excited heart and body in check.
"I am sure you will feel less wronged if we do this so I will fulfil your wish," Amos, who was now an arm's reach away, reached out his hand to hold her but to his dismay, she disappeared at the last minute.
"Hey, stay away from me? And who said I wanted us to act out what Drey imagined huh?" Joanna's voice echoed in the sitting room but she was nowhere to be seen.
Amos spun as he tried to guess where exactly she was hiding. "Weren't you angry because you felt wronged so why are you busy running away now that I have decided to grant yours and your best friend's wish?" He asked, not stopping to spin around.
His eyes scrutinized the sitting room as he tried to find out where she was.
"You can think about whatever you want, it's your right after all. Besides I am too hungry to argue with you," Her voice and chief in the room once again.
Amos searched for her but he couldn't find her. He was still searching for her when her last sentence resounded in his head.
[She said she was too hungry to talk to me so that means she must be in the kitchen]
Amos smiled. He hastened to the kitchen.
There he found her standing in front of the opened refrigerator just like he had guessed.
"Don't you live on blood so how come your refrigerator is full of human dishes?" Joanna, who could feel his presence without having to turn around, asked.
"You are right about that. The food is for you," Amos replied. He strolled to the kitchen counter and leaned his back against it.
"For me?" Joanna asked with widened eyes. She spun and looked at him with a bewildered expression.
[He went as far as filling up his refrigerator with my favourite food despite not knowing when I was gonna visit his home. Doesn't that mean he still loves me…]
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Amos demanded. He subconsciously touched his face seeing that she wouldn't stop looking at him.
"If you have something to say then do it and stop making me uncomfortable with your intense stares," Amos added as he dropped his hand.
"I know there is a possibility you haven't tasted normal food apart from the blood before but I will still ask you this question…," Joanna trailed. She appeared in front of him after she finished talking.
"Would you like to taste the food prepared by me?" Joanna asked while looking into his eyeballs.
[She wants to cook for me even when the refrigerator is stocked to the brim with her favourite dishes? But why?]
Amos was lost in thought as he kept on looking at her face.
"Say something hmm," Joanna asked as she pouted her lips.
"There are no groceries…,"
"There is no need to worry about that. Just say yes and you will see the magic happen," Joanna beamed and eagerly waited for a positive response from him.
"As long as it is you who will prepare it then I am ready to give it a try," Amos agreed, his eyes focused on her dancing eyeballs.
"Hahaha… this is great," a beautiful smile appeared on her face as she walked backwards.
"Wait for me. I will be back in a jiffy," Joanna announced. She vanished before Amos could get to ask where she was going.
"She keeps acting weird but why do I love this side of hers? I mean I have never seen her so eager to spend time with me. I wonder if this is all thanks to Amelia's plans?" Amos mumbled.
He walked to the refrigerator when his eyes met the door Joanna had forgotten to shut.
Amos waited for Joanna to return. Five minutes passed and then fifteen yet she didn't come back as he had expected.
He panicked when an hour had passed and she still didn't return.
"The way she talked was as though she won't take up to five minutes so why isn't she still back yet?" Amos muttered pacing about the kitchen.
He was still pacing about when his cell phone laid on the centre of the sitting room dinged.
Without wasting even a minute he was already in the sitting room. He took the cell phone in his hand and quickly checked who sent a message.
"I am caught up in something. I don't think I will be able to come right now but I promise I will immediately come to keep you company like I had said after I am done here," Amos read out Joanna's message.
His expression fell as soon as he finished reading her text message.
"If I knew that she wouldn't end up returning immediately then I would have stopped her from leaving," He mumbled as he returned the cell phone to the couch.
He sat down with a fallen expression for close to ten minutes without moving a muscle.
"There is no need to cry over spilt milk. The best thing I can do for the both of us is to get over with this damn work so I will be able to spend premium time with her when she returns," Amos said as he shook his head.
He picked up one of the undone documents and started going through it. With his zeal to complete the work quickly, he immersed himself in what he was doing.
Despite focusing on the work at hand he still wasn't able to finish the work before Joanna returned.
Because he had left his work undone for so many days the work piled up and so no matter how fast he was he still wasn't able to finish on time.
He let out a heavy sigh the moment he attended to the last email that required his reply. He leaned back against the couch and raised his head to look at the lady whose gaze was concentrated on him.
"You must be tired and in need of rest right so I will leave you now…,"
"I will go shower and change into something more decent so we can go out together," Amos cut in standing up from the couch.
"We are going on a date?" Joanna asked with a bewildered expression. She couldn't hide her surprise.
"Why? Don't you wanna come?" Amos demanded as he shifted his gaze to her direction once again.
