"What was that?" Amos asked with widened eyes. Just like other customers, he hurried to see what had happened.
Getting to the top of the lift he was dumbfounded to see the once proud woman sprawl on the white tiled floor. Her legs were twisted to the back and her neck sideways.
Her shopping bags that had fallen from her hands littered the floor.
Two sales representatives on the second floor ran to the woman's aide.
"What the hell happened?" Amos muttered to himself as he stared in the direction he left Joanna.
Out of all the customers around, she was the only one who didn't leave her spot even after the commotion.
[Did she do this?... But how on Earth was she able to do that? She was just right beside me]
Amos looked at the elderly woman who wasn't able to stand without the help of the sales representative.
"Take it gently please," Amos heard the woman scream in pain.
He turned and walked back to where his Joanna stood unfazed by all that was going on.
He stared at her suspiciously when got to where she stood.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Joanna demanded sternly.
"If you have a question for me then go ahead and ask… Besides you were never the type to wait for permission to speak so why hold back now?" Joanna asked in a casual tone.
There was no sympathy on her face as she talked. It was as if what happened wasn't a big deal to her.
"Did you do that to her?" Amos asked the question on his mind.
"Hmmm… did I do that to her?" Joanna muttered.
She turned and looked around the hall filled with beautiful designer clothes, as though the answer to her question was engraved on the clothes.
"I told her to be careful of the lifts but she just wouldn't listen," said Joanna as she started walking away.
"That is what a proud woman like her deserves. She can't blame anyone for her plights," Joanna grinned while she kept on walking.
[Maybe…. Just maybe I would have pardoned her for pushing me and even postpone taking revenge on her for always joining her best friend Adhara to bully me… too bad she had to belittle Kay]
Joanna's smile grew darker. She didn't notice that he was looking at her all this while.
[I know I am supposed to be surprised and wary of her after seeing this side of her but why do I kinda love it?... Does this makes me weird]
He couldn't resist beaming seeing that she was in a good mood. Had he known the reason why she taught Miss Viviana a lesson she would never forget, he would have definitely been happier than this.
With the assistance of the sales representative, the couple was able to locate the fitting room.
While Joanna tried to get changed inside the fitting room Amos sat on the milky colour couch with his cellphone in his hands.
As he sat there, all his attention was on the images of her and Joanna taken as they were shopping.
He stopped scrolling through the pictures when he reached a certain picture where Joanna had murderous glares.
Obviously, those murderous glares were meant for him.
"I wonder how a person can have the most gentle and yet deadliest glares in the world at the same time?" He muttered his eyes glue to the picture on his cellphone's screen.
He was so focused on his cellphone that he didn't see Joanna come out of the fitting room in full glory.
She frowned when he didn't spare her even a glance after a minute of standing there waiting for him to notice her.
"What on Earth are you seriously looking at that you won't even spare me a glance?" Joanna asked, her annoyance evident in her tone and face.
"Is what you are doing more captivating or beautiful than me?" She enquired in a subtle tone.
The instant he heard her alluring voice he raised his gaze away from his cellphone to behold that which was a thousand times more beautiful than the one on the phone screen.
Looking up, his eyes widened when he saw that she had tied her long hair into a messy bun.
Seeing how bewitching she looks, he didn't need to ask to know the reason why she came up with the idea of tying her hair this way.
His eyes moved from her hair to her fluttering eyelashes which refused to look straight at him.
His eyes moved further to her sexy rosy lips. The way she constantly licked her lips made him swallow a lump.
His eyebrows furrowed when it reached her bare neck.
Amos' eyes grew wilder when they landed on her full chest.
Because of how the off-shoulder red dress was designed, her breasts were visible. He licked his lips hungrily as he drooled at her exposed cleavages.
His eyes then shifted to her slender waist and then to her exposed long legs. He swallowed a lump for the second time in a row.
[I really need to keep my emotions in check or else… even I don't know what I am gonna do if I suddenly have an outburst here]
He clasped his fist not taking his eyes off her.
[Does he think I look beautiful in it or not… it's so unlike him to remain so quiet]
Joanna bites down on her lower lips as she waited for him to say something.
She finally found the courage to look in his direction when he still didn't utter a word of compliments or teases to her.
Her heart leapt in joy and her lips curved into a beautiful smile when she realized it wasn't that he didn't feel the need to compliment her.
But he couldn't do it because he was bewitched by her overwhelming charms.
"Stop ogling already… I am afraid you are gonna bore a hole in this beautiful dress if you keep this up," Joanna said teasingly.
Her teases made him jolt back to reality.
Instead of being embarrassed that he was caught red-handed, he put his cellphone aside on the couch and stood up.
He raised his black orbs and directed them at her. "You were the one anxious for me to take a look and appreciate your heavenly endowed assets and now that I am doing that you are complaining," He said strolling towards where she stood.
Getting to her, he raised his hand and lifted her chin so that his eyes were locked in hers.
"What exactly do you want from me, Girlfriend?" His husky tone that depicts endless danger combined with the warmth of his touch was enough to get Joanna's system excited.
