From what she recalled, he wore a glittering white jacket earlier but right now he was wearing a plain green shirt.
"Just so I won't garner much attention and cause you problems I particularly choose this plain shirt. What do you think? I am very considerate right?" Raymond asked as he winked at her.
Joanna quickly turned and looked around her to confirm whether anyone else saw him winking at her.
She was so relieved that the mean girls sitting at the corner had momentarily taken their eyes off him.
[Rick specifically told me to go all out anytime I saw her. And that is what I have done, I wonder whether it is working?]
Raymond smiled at her although she didn't smile back at him.
"You think with that face of yours merely changing clothes will make you not stand out?" Joanna asked and bent so that their faces were close to joining.
"If that is what you thought then go to whoever said that and tell him that he is the greatest liar of the year. And that he needs to go to an optician and check what the hell is wrong with his eyes...,"
"Is that your way of telling me that I am handsome?" He asked. His charming smile was capable of making any sane lady's heart skip.
Unfortunately for him, Joanna was crazy. She was crazy in love with Kayden.
"That is an obvious fact everyone is aware of so why are you smiling...,"
"Because those words are coming from your mouth," He was damn blunt with his reply. His reply made the once doubtful Joanna certain that Derrick must have fed Raymond with some strange drugs.
"I will go get your order ready," Joanna informed. She turned and walked to the counter knowing very well she might do something drastic if she kept listening to the guy's seductive words.
All Joanna's thoughts were that Raymond would leave the cafe after he finished his cup of coffee but that didn't happen at all.
He stayed for a long time. Even if Mrs Parker had plans of chasing him away she couldn't since he kept ordering over and over again.
Joanna was uncomfortable with Raymond's incessant stares but she didn't let it show.
Back at his apartment, Amos kept looking at his wristwatch every ten minutes.
"Why does it feel like time is moving unbelievably slow today?" He mumbled and threw his cell phone on the centre table in annoyance.
"Brother Amos, are you alright?" Anthony, who was playing with his cell phone, asked. He paused what he was doing and dropped his cell phone aside.
"Hmmm....," Amos trailed. He raised his head and stared at Anthony's face. Gazing at Anthony's innocent face an idea popped into his head.
His lips curled into a beautiful smile. He didn't resemble the same guy who threw his cell phone on the table earlier.
"What is...," He jumped and sat on the opposite couch before Anthony could say what was on his mind.
"Little man," He called. His strange tone made Anthony raise his gaze. He peered into Amos' eyeballs.
"Do you miss your big sister?" He asked, his eyes locked with Anthony's.
The gentleness of his voice and the manner he pulled him close made Anthony try to shift away. But Amos didn't give him what he wanted.
"Tell me, do you want to see her?" He said softly, he wrapped his hand around his shoulders and made him draw closer.
"If you want to see her I can take you there...,"
"Brother Amos, you can go and see Big Sis if you miss her...,"
"Who said I miss her?" Amos retorted and jumped to his feet.
[He misses Big Sis but he is trying to use me to go and see her... He has been good to me so why don't I help him out]
Anthony smiled and stood up from the couch.
"I asked whether you missed her so why are you...,"
"I miss her a lot. Can we go and see her?" Anthony asked. He grabbed Amos' hand and pulled it to his chest.
"Let's go and see Big Sis, hmm?" Anthony made a cute expression at him.
"Since you want to see her so much then I have no other choice but to do as you want," Amos said. He couldn't hide his excitement no matter how hard he tried.
"She specifically asked me to take good care of you. I can't afford to make your Big Sis angry at me because I didn't look after you well in her absence," He grinned and took his hands.
"Let's go and freshen up," He muttered and led Anthony towards the bathroom.
From their expressions, it was very obvious who was very eager to see her and who wasn't.
Amos freshened up first then followed by Anthony.
When Anthony came out of the bathroom Amos had already prepared his outfit and shoes. This way the time Anthony would have used to dress up was lessened.
Some minutes later they were seen entering a white car parked at the apartment's parking space.
At the cafe, Joanna was seen with a tray in her hand approaching Raymond's table.
At Raymond's table, she dropped the brown tray on the table. She removed the cup of espresso and dropped it in front of him.
"You have drunk over six cups of different drinks here, are you sure you can handle more?" Joanna asked out of sheer concern.
"My body can withstand it so don't worry about me...,"
"But...,"
"You have been working nonstop for a long time now, shouldn't you take a few minutes' rests?" He asked. His gaze moved from her face to the heels she has been walking in for over four hours.
"As you might have noticed, customers troops in every five minutes and I guess this is all thanks to the girls who posted your pictures on the internet. I can't afford to rest even though I wanted to," She smiled at him.
