"You are the one who did everything to win my heart and now that you have succeeded, what did you do huh?" Joanna asked. She lifted her right hand and hit his chest twice.
Standing there all he could hear was the repetition of her sentence in his head which refused to stop playing.
At that moment the world around him ceased to exist. The only thing he could see and hear was her love confession which was on repetition.
"How could you be so cruel to do this to me Kayden Greyson?" Joanna breaks down in tears again.
She squats and covers her face.
Amos slowly lowered himself into a squatting position after his brain had finally assimilated her words.
He reached out his hand and lifted her chin so she was looking into his eyeballs.
"Did you just say you are in love with me?" He asked. There was so much gentleness in his eyes and tone as he stared at her.
If he had this expression on a normal occasion he would have without a doubt melted her heart but not right now when she was mad with rage.
"That was before I saw you in our private space with her," She said and pushed his hand away from her face.
"But right now, I hate you very much. In fact, I don't want to see your face," She hissed and sprang up.
Before he realised what she was up to she started walking away.
Joanna came to an abrupt stop when a figure embraced her from behind.
"I am sorry if I unknowingly hurt you but believe me when I say nothing is going on between Amelia and me. Also, what you saw was a misunderstanding…,"
"I was trying to refrain from hitting you but I promise to slap you hard if you keep lying to my face," Joanna stated. She held his hand and tried to unwrap his hand from her waist but he refused to let go.
"But what I am saying is this truth. Amelia is my doctor. Everything she did and said whenever you were around was all an act….,"
"You are lying…,"
"You can ask Mrs Parker if you don't believe me because this was their idea from the beginning," Amos cut in meekly. He let go of her and move to stand in front of her.
"Did you just say I should ask Mrs Parker about your relationship with her cousin?" Joanna asked, frowning.
"Actually, Amelia is her niece and not her cousin…," He paused halfway when her eyes turned deadly.
"If you still don't believe me then you can ask Kyle. He was the one who convinced me into playing along in the ladies' show…,"
"How do you expect me to believe the words of the man who told me an hour ago that Amelia was dying to fuck you?" She shouted and pushed him out of her path.
She stomped away unconvinced by everything he said.
"Kyle said what?" Amos shouted in shock. He pursued her.
Amos tried to stop her but he wasn't very lucky again. He paused in his tracks when his attempts failed.
"I swear on my name and honour that there is no romantic relationship between Amelia and me," Amos shouted with his right hand placed on his chest.
He let out a sigh of relief seeing her halt after his declaration.
Slowly she turned and looked at him.
"She is always close to you and mentioned more than thrice that she was in love with you, are you certain nothing is going on between the two of you?" Joanna asked sceptically.
She started moving towards where he stood with his hand still on his chest.
"My heart solely belongs to you. There is room for no one else in it so believe it when I said that my heart didn't flutter for her or anyone else," He said seriously.
Joanna halted about three steps away from where he stood.
"If what you are saying is true then why on Earth would she pretend to be in love with you and why would Mrs Parker and Kyle support it?" She quizzed.
"Also what's your relationship with Mrs Parker?" She added.
She has always suspected that there was something between them and has confronted Mrs Parker about it but the cunning woman has always brushed off the topic without giving her definite answers.
"My car is parked not far away from here. How about we talk there instead of standing here? Also, don't forget we need to get your wounds disinfected and treated," Amos said.
Since she was eager to know everything from the beginning she didn't go against his suggestion.
Entering the car Joanna bombarded the guy fiddling with the first aid box on his legs.
Her questions were so many that he lost count of them.
"So which of the questions do you want me to answer first?" He asked as he took out a cotton wool and poured some liquid onto it.
"How and why did she and Mrs Parker come up with the idea of her pretending to be in love with you?" She asked while staring at his face.
Amos lifted her legs and tried to place them on his thighs but Joanna refused.
"It's not proper and you are gonna see my panties," Joanna mumbled with her face lowered.
"Let me be the judge of whether or not it's proper for my lover to place her legs on mine," He said and lifted her legs and placed them on his.
"Also, this is not the first time I will be seeing your panties so stop acting adorable or else you are gonna get me into trouble," He teased.
He went ahead to use the wet cotton wool and cleaned her wound after she stopped fighting with him.
"The reason Amelia took on this task which was unfavourable to her was for our sake," He said and removed the wet cotton wool from her wound, seeing her flinch and close her eyes.
"What does that mean?" She scratched the back of her head and waited for him to satisfy her curiosity.
