Although she ended up not punching Amos she wasn't happy at all that she almost raised her hand to the man she loved.
When he saw that she was upset, he raised his hand and grabbed her hand. He guided her hands to his chest and left them there.
"No matter how close you were to hit me, it's true that you stopped midway...,"
"But...,"
"I am fine, aren't I?" He asked. He didn't forget to give her his most charming smile.
"So get rid of that frown because it doesn't suit you one bit," He said and cupped her face.
It was after she calmed down that she realised that Amos was wearing his joggers.
"Where did you go to dress like that?" Joanna demanded. She gazed at him from head to toe.
"I went for exercise...,"
"Exercise at this ungodly hour?" Joanna quizzed, her suspicions evident in her tone and gaze.
"T-that...," Amos didn't know what to say when he noticed that his cover was blown.
"Are you sure you went for exercise or that you came out to wait for me by using exercise as an excuse?" Joanna questioned, her suspicious gaze focused on his face.
"Does it matter what is the truth right now?" He asked and let go of her face.
Joanna smiled when she saw how shy he was to admit that she was the reason he went for an unplanned workout at almost 2: 00 am.
Joanna was about to tease Amos further when she recalled the reason she left the bar in a haste in the first place.
"If you are here then what about Little rice ball?" Joanna demanded. She searched the surrounding hoping to find him hiding waiting for his showtime but she didn't sense or see him around.
"Was his fall that bad? Has he recovered or...,"
"What fall and recovery are you talking about?" Amos asked in confusion.
"Don't tell me you are not aware that he fell off a stool and sustained injuries?" Joanna frowned upon seeing Amos' confused expression.
"He was perfectly alright some minutes ago. In fact, he was fast asleep and that was why I had the chance to leave the room so what fall are you talking about?" Amos asked, still not understanding what Joanna was saying.
"Let's go. Maybe you will understand when we reach upstairs," She said and led the way into the tall building.
At the elevator, as they made their way upstairs Amos kept thinking about Joanna's question.
No matter how hard he thought he couldn't understand what was happening.
Reaching Audrey's apartment, Joanna punched in the password and pushed the door open.
She rushed into the house without waiting for Amos.
Joanna expected to meet Anthony in the sitting room but to her surprise, he wasn't there.
"Maybe he is in the bedroom," Joanna mumbled. She threw her pouch on one of the couches and hurried to the bedroom.
Amos followed her closely despite not being aware of what this whole charade was all about.
Joanna was about to go search for him elsewhere when she didn't see him until a figure lying on the bed caught her attention.
"Anthony!" Joanna exclaimed in shock. She rubbed her eyes and walked closer to the bed to make sure that she didn't make a mistake due to her anxiety.
"Was the text message I received a dream or part of my imagination?" Joanna mumbled.
She almost concluded that she was out of her mind until she went through her recent inbox.
Joanna's eyes darted from her glowing screen to the innocent face of the boy lying on the bed.
[Is this naughty boy playing some games with me or what... How dare he make me doubt my sanity because of his games?]
Joanna so much wanted to pull over the blanket and spank his butt but she held herself back.
[Since he wants to play then why doesn't this Big Sis play with him a little?]
Joanna grinned.
She typed a few words on the phone and passed the phone to Amos.
Amos raised his gaze and gave her a puzzled look after reading the content of what Joanna had typed on the screen.
She tapped his shower and smiled without uttering a word.
Joanna went ahead to make a countdown with her three fingers after she had gotten his approval.
"Amos, since my little rice ball is asleep then I have no choice but to eat the bacon and his favourite barbecue fish that I bought especially for him," Joanna said, her gaze settled on the sleeping figure on the bed.
"Why would you force yourself to eat so much even at the risk of getting fat when you could just wake your little man up...,"
"Didn't you say you would love me regardless of my size so why are you complaining about getting fat?" Joanna retorted.
"Are you trying to say you would desert me if I gained a lot of weight...,"
"So what...,"
"You are this gutsy to bully me because my little rice ball is asleep. I am sure you wouldn't have the effrontery to do that if he was awake," Joanna cut in.
She smiled when she saw Anthony change positions.
[Let's see whether he will be heartless to let his favourite Big Sister in the world gets bullied]
Joanna her smile spread across her face as she winked at Amos.
"It's true that people should eat modestly at night to avoid excessive weight gain. I am just looking out for your health so stop being dramatic," Amos defended himself.
"Also, your Little man is just this small so stop trying to use him to scare me because he wouldn't have been able to do anything if he was awake," He added fiercely.
An evil smirk crept onto their faces at the same time when they saw Anthony change positions yet again.
"H-how could you say that about my precious little rice ball huh?" Joanna shouted and raised her hand to hit Amos.
"Wait and see what I will do to you?" She roared.
Joanna staggered backwards and fell on the foot of the bed. The impact of the fall was real enough to make even the smartest person in the world believe that she was pushed down.
