"Also, you always act as if you are above us…,"
"Ray, I am very grateful that you saved me but can you and Derrick not disrespect him?" Joanna cut in.
With everyone angry, she knew that she needed to be cool-headed to be able to resolve the issue at hand.
"He was the one who disrespected us first so why are you taking sides with him?" Derrick asked unhappily.
"Because Brother Kay is Brother Kay and no one can be compared to him," Anthony said innocently.
Amos who looked like he would murder someone only needed to hear Anthony's words to calm down.
Everyone seemed to have calmed down a bit after Anthony talked.
"Amos, although I don't know why you are so angry when you are the one who said I can come to your home however I want…,"
"Of course, you have unlimited access to my home. In fact, the door of my home will forever be opened to you but not him," Amos said as he shot Raymond a deadly look.
"Also, if you expected me to embrace them then I am sorry to disappoint you, I am not a saint and I would never pretend to be one especially when it comes to you," Amos said seriously.
He stomped to the bedroom. He jammed the door close, startling Joanna and Anthony in the process.
"I have never seen him so angry before. Is he that angry that I let outsiders inside his home," Joanna bit her nails as she gazed at the brown door Amos jammed closed?
[Is she trying to say that she doesn't know why he is angry… Anyways she has always been very dense since she was a child so I shouldn't be surprised about this. This is a side of her that endears people to her]
Raymond looked at the lady who seemed to be lost at what to do.
"He has such a bad temper. I wonder which lady will fall in love with…," Raymond's dry cough coupled with Joanna's deadly glances made Derrick realize that he would earn himself an enemy if he completes his words.
"It seems like I am not welcome here so it's better I just leave…,"
"Don't," Joanna grabbed his hand and pulled him back to his previous position.
"I will feel very terrible if you leave like this so sit down and let me complete what I was doing," Joanna said. She stole a glance at the bedroom once again.
Reluctantly she shifted her gaze back to Raymond.
"Little rice ball, go in and ask your Brother Amos to lend you one of his shirts. It's not proper for Raymond to wear this torn shirt," Joanna said absentmindedly.
She was in a rush to wrap up the treatment and didn't pay attention to her surroundings.
Derrick watched Anthony approach the bedroom door. He turned and look at Joanna after Anthony had entered the room.
[Whoa… Is she just dense or is she naturally this brutal? I mean I thought she was weird ever since the first day I set my eyes on her but this is… I don't even know what to say to this]
Derrick kept on gazing at Joanna's stern face. The gentleness that was in her eyes before Amos' arrival was long gone.
Just when she closed the first aid box Anthony came out of the room.
"What's it? Why did you come out empty-handed?" Joanna asked, frowning.
Anthony moved away from the door and walked into the sitting room.
"He is angry. He didn't respond to anything I said," Anthony said.
"Big Sis, why…,"
"Don't worry I will get the clothes myself," Joanna interrupted. She stood up and strolled to his bedroom.
Inside the bedroom, Joanna met Amos standing in front of the glass window gazing outside.
The purging smell that hits her nostrils made Joanna cough repeatedly.
"You are smoking?" She asked, her gaze centred on the back of the guy who wouldn't spare her a glance.
"I needed something to calm me down and I couldn't think of anything else except this," He replied. The nonchalance in his voice made Joanna clench her fist.
"Can we talk after I have sent them away?" Joanna asked. She subconsciously bit her lower lips as she waited for him to say something.
She waited for him to answer her but he refused to say anything. He just kept on puffing smoke into the air.
"Is it ok for me to lend him one of your shirts?" She quizzed. "I promise I will…,"
"I have already told you that everything in my home is at your disposal. Even though I am furious I won't act petty and go back on my words," He replied casually.
Although he didn't raise his voice at her, his nonchalance hurt her as much as he would have caused a scene.
His casual tone coupled with the fact that he won't look at her made Joanna's heart tighten.
[I can't stand seeing him this way and to get my real Kay back I need to get the two guys out of here as soon as possible]
Joanna looked away from his direction. She strolled to the walk-in closet without uttering a word again to him.
Amos, who pretended that he didn't care about her, tilted his head and glanced at her moving back.
[Believe me, Joan, I don't want to get angry but the thought that I might lose you to another doesn't make me think straight and you can't blame me for this. I believe anyone in my shoes would have reacted the same way I did]
Amos kept looking at the walk-in closet door even after she was out of sight.
He clasped his fist when the scene he met earlier popped up in his head.
"I am sure this was a part of his scheme," Amos muttered with his fist still clasped.
Some minutes later Joanna was seen standing at the entrance gazing at the two guys who kept waving at her.
"Don't be sad we are leaving because I promise we will meet sooner than you think," Derrick said. He waved at her for the last time before she entered the room.
Reaching the sitting room Joanna unlocked her cell phone and handed it over to Anthony.
