Raymond adjusted the golden wristwatch around his wrist after the elevator door closed.
[If he thinks that I am the type to be easily threatened then he got it wrong at the very beginning. I am Raymond, the one who instils fear in others and not the other way around]
An evil smile plastered on his face as he waited for the elevator door to close.
Meanwhile, inside his bedroom, Joanna was seen taking care of the injured Bacon. Amos quietly strolled to where she sat.
"Is Bacon alright?" Amos quizzed. He looked at the bird in her hands. "Are you sure you don't want to take Bacon to the Vet…,"
"I am sure you wished to kill Bacon so many times so why are you pretending to be worried…,"
"Yes, I had such thoughts and I won't deny it but, did I ever do that?" Amos challenged in a soft tone. He squatted in front of her and took her hand in his.
"Do you know why I never hurt a hair on its body despite how many times it annoyed me?" He asked as he stared into her eyes.
"It's because you own it and not only that, you love the bird very much. No matter how angry I am, I would never hurt anything or anyone you care about, believe me," Amos said. He lifted her hand and brought it to his chest.
"Really?" Joanna asked while looking into his eyes.
Of course, she knows how naughty Bacon can be. Even she gets furious at times when he interrupts their private time. She wouldn't be surprised to learn that Amos felt worse.
"Of course," He smiled at her.
"If that's the case then I will leave you to take care of him while I take a shower," she said. She abruptly pulled her hand away from his firm hold.
Gently she lifted Bacon and placed it in his open arms.
"Bacon is not an ordinary bird. Apart from being very smart and having the ability to capture everything with its eyes, it can heal super fast too so you don't have to worry about taking him to a Vet…," Joanna let her words linger as she leapt to the wardrobe.
"Though it can't be compared to your super rejuvenating ability," She says. She opened the wardrobe and took out a pink towel.
"Bacon can capture everything happening in its environment with its eyes?" Amos asked with his mouth hanging open. He stared at the bird in his hands as if this was the first time he was seeing it.
Despite being aware of how smart Bacon is, he never thought there was something special about the bird.
He thought Bacon was just like every other bird out there but after learning what it's capable of doing, it felt like he was looking at a different bird.
"If you don't believe me then look into its eyeballs and don't move your gaze from it for at least two minutes…,"
"Does that mean I will be able to see what it has captured if I do that?" Amos asked, not able to hide his excitement.
"Hmm… I don't know," She replied. She closed the wardrobe, spun and stood with her back leaning against the wooden door.
"I only need to look into Bacon's eyes for as low as ten seconds and the video I desire will start playing in his eyes. I always find it fascinating since it feels like he could read minds," Joanna smiled.
She can still recall how stunned she was when she discovered Bacon's special abilities.
Not only does she possess special abilities but her bird does too. Having things in common sometimes made her feel that maybe Bacon came into existence because of her.
"As of now I am the only one Bacon shows these special abilities of his too so I doubt whether you will be able to gain access to its memories," Joanna said softly.
Joanna was a bit taken aback when he appeared right in front of her.
"What do I need to do to make him show me some of the moments he has captured?" Amos asked while looking into her eyes intently.
While he was eager to hear her response he didn't know that their sudden closeness was taking a toll on Joanna's body.
His fluttering long eyelashes and the moving of his Adam's Apple made Joanna swallow a lump.
[Hey, perverted Joanna, what the hell are you thinking? How could you think of such a thing in this situation?]
Joanna blinked her eyes repeatedly with the hope of getting rid of the obscene thoughts playing in her mind.
"Joan…," Joanna crashed her lips against his taking him by total surprise. They stayed in that position for two minutes.
She abruptly moved backwards and turned her back on him when she realised what she had done.
[That was crazy! What did I just do?]
Standing there she felt like banging her head against the wardrobe for failing to keep her emotions in check.
Yes, it hasn't been that long since she realised she was in love with him but it felt as if she has felt this way for him forever.
Her body tends to act on its own whenever they are together. She feels like some crazy horny bitch who doesn't know what to do after falling in love for the first time.
Sometimes she had to exercise all the self-control in her to stop herself from pouncing on him.
Is this how everyone feels after falling in love?
Or is it because this is her first time?
Joanna sucked in a few mouthfuls of air to calm herself down.
She knew to escape from this the best option was to be as shameless as ever so she decided to give it a shot.
"Maybe I can get access to Bacon's brain because he considers me his master. Another reason might be because he likes me and feels safe around me, I am not sure. You can try bribing it and see whether it will open up to you," Joanna said.
Without looking at his face she hurried to the bathroom door with her injured leg.
She paused in front of the door and turned to look at him. "Anyways, why are you so eager to see what Bacon captured? What exactly do you want to see?" Joanna asked an important question she almost forgot about.
