"Sister Laura always dolls herself whenever Brother Rafael shows up but you…,"
"This is all your fault for waking up without calling me so why are you laughing?" Joanna retorted, trying to cover up her dishevelled hair.
"Brother Amos warned me not to wake you…,"
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "Just wait until I come back," Joanna turned and raced towards the exit.
Amos and Anthony chuckled seeing the way she was behaving contrary to her always confident self.
Their smiling faces turned stern when Joanna ran back to the kitchen not up to a minute after she left.
"The two of you are forbidden from laying hands on anything in the kitchen," She warned with her index finger pointing at their faces.
"And Kay, turn off the cooker," She said and ran away like she was being pursued with a rod.
"Big Sis is cute when she acts shy," Anthony muttered, his eyes glued on the kitchen exit.
Amos lifted his hand and placed it on his right shoulder. "Don't you think you are stealing my line, Little man?" He asked.
"She is my Big Sister so I can say whatever…,"
"And she is my woman so don't you think I should call the shot here?" Amos asked and he tried to ruffle his hair but Anthony pulled away.
"But she was first my sister and I am just lending her to you…,"
"Lending her to me?" He chuckled. "For how long will you lend her to me?".
"Hmm…," Anthony trailed, not knowing what to say.
"Is it for ten years, twenty or a lifetime…,"
"Big Brother Kay, is bullying me and I will tell Big Sis about it," Anthony said, knowing very well that he can't win against Amos.
He turned and stormed towards the exit but Amos appeared in front of him. He grabbed Anthony's hand and squats in front of him.
[Joan is already upset with me and this will worsen if her little man tells on me. I need to coax him to get him back on my side]
Amos stared at the body struggling to free himself from his firm hold.
"Joan will always be your Big Sister no matter what so there is no need to be angry," Amos said, not letting go of Anthony's hands.
"And I was only kidding. I wanted to see how you would react," Amos said.
Although he was with Anthony, his presence was all over the entire apartment and this was thanks to his heightened sense of hearing and smell.
Anthony momentarily stopped struggling with Amos after listening to his words.
"Really? You will not steal My Big Sis from me right?" He asked as he stared into Amos' eyes.
[Did he just say steal?]
Amos peered at the boy who wouldn't stop looking into his eyes with hope in his eyes.
[His love for her is immeasurable. I am happy to know that she has someone who loves her so dearly apart from me. Their bond is so strong. It makes me jealous sometimes]
Amos lifted his hand and pats Anthony's hair.
"Of course, I won't. Also, I am aware you are just lending her to me, I won't be greedy," Amos assured him with a smile.
A broad smile crept on Anthony's face the instant Amos gave his word.
[This is why I love children. They are easy to win over unlike adults]
He was surprised when Anthony embraced him.
"Little man, let's continue with what we were doing. Joan needs to have breakfast on time so that she can take her drugs on time…,"
"But she forbid us from touching anything…,"
"There is no need to worry about that. I can handle it. And I am sure she will forget about her warning the moment she takes a bite from the delicacies we will prepare for her," Amos replied.
He stood up and led Anthony to the counter where their ingredient was where they had left them.
While Amos, who did not know about cooking handled preparing the meal, little Anthony standing by his side guided him on what to do.
As they went about cooking, Joanna was in the bathroom showering. She was oblivious to what the two men closest to her were doing in the kitchen behind her back.
Joanna stood in the mirror and stared at herself after she had finished dressing up.
"This is the real me. I wonder why I had to show that messy side of me. I wish he wouldn't use it to tease me later on," Joanna spoke.
She kept forgetting the fact that the ones she lived with had heightened senses of hearing.
Joanna made her way out of the bedroom. The moment she stepped foot outside, the burnt smell that hits her nostrils made her cover her nose in an instant.
She turned and looked in the kitchen direction. Her eyes bulged out when she saw smoke coming from there.
"What the hell did those two do?" Joanna shouted. She raced towards the kitchen in a flash.
Reaching the kitchen, Joanna found it engulfed in smoke. Without wasting time she dragged the coughing Anthony out of the kitchen.
She dragged him to the sitting room and placed him on one of the couches.
"Stay right there. I will spank you until you cry if you move a muscle from here," Joanna instructed coldly.
She returned to the kitchen once again.
"And what are you still doing here?" Joanna yelled, noticing that Amos was still moving about like nothing was wrong.
"You need to have breakfast at the right time so you can…,"
"Did you just mention food in this situation?" Joanna yelled and pointed at the part of the kitchen where the smoke was thicker.
"Is food more important than your life…," Joanna coughed after choking on the smoke. He ran to her side, pulled off his jacket and gave it to her.
"Use this and cover your nose while you make your way out of the kitchen. I will join you and you…,"
"How dare you still talk about food when your safety should be your priority?" Joanna lost her cool and shouted at him.
She could not understand why he cared so much about food when he doesn't eat human food.
