"You said I was shameless but here you are praising yourself in front of me. Doesn't that makes you more shameless than I am...,"
"You taught me this so why are you complaining, teacher?" Joanna asked. She laid so much emphasis on the word TEACHER that Amos didn't know what to say.
It was true that her self-esteem was crushed ever since she was a child and as such, she wasn't very outspoken.
She was always brutal with her words and her decision doesn't easily get swayed but she was a reserved girl despite all these.
Joanna started coming out of her shell after they reunited. To win her heart he went all out. Shameless King Kayden became his second title.
He believed without a doubt that she learnt her shameless ways from him and that was why he didn't argue with her.
"Stop looking at me that way. You know I didn't tell an iota of lies," She accused. She carried the tray of food and walked back in the direction of the cooker where the toaster was.
"You have always complained that I and your little man bullied you but why are you bullying me...,"
"Me, bully you?" She asked while faking a surprised expression. "I am still very much in love with my life. I would never do that except if I have a death wish which I don't". She replied in a playful tone.
"You are such a big bully" He muttered.
Joanna grinned and acted like she didn't hear his words. She concentrated her attention on toasting the bread and soon she was done.
"Little rice ball, put a pause to what you are doing and come to the kitchen right now," Joanna ordered as if Anthony was standing right in front of her.
Almost immediately after she spoke, Anthony raced at top speed to the kitchen.
"Big Sis, here I am," Anthony announced his presence. He was unaware that Joanna could feel his presence without having to turn around.
"Take our breakfast to the dining. I will meet you there soon," Joanna said without taking her gaze off the milk she was pouring into the glass cup.
"His hands are just this tiny. Are you sure he won't spill it?" Amos asked. His gaze followed the boy who walked to the table where the tray was kept.
"My hands are sturdy and my body is flexible. I have carried heavier things than this in my martial art training classes. I won't drop it, trust me," Anthony replied. He beats his chest confidently.
"If you say so," Amos muttered. He watched as Anthony picked up the tray from the table and walked towards the sitting room.
"I am aware that werewolves are known for their sturdy build and strength. But I keep forgetting this fact whenever your little man is around...,"
"In the same manner I keep forgetting that vampires don't get hurt easily," Joanna chuckled when she recalled the numerous times she worried about Amos getting hurt.
"When I heard people say that love makes even the most intelligent people do silly things I didn't understand that term until I fell in love...," Joanna trailed, and her smile grew broader.
"These days I do crazy and silly things without having control over it," She said and turned around so that they faced each other.
Amos walked towards where she stood. He kept his gaze focused on hers.
"In the past when I saw couples taking a walk holding hands, getting jealous, feeding, kissing and teasing each other in public I always cringed. I often told myself that I will never do such a thing even though I got into a relationship...," He let his words linger.
Merely recalling some of the silly and crazy things he had done these past days made him laugh within.
"But after I fell in love with you, I found myself doing the exact things I promised not to do. The funniest thing is that I don't want to stop doing these things," He confessed and chuckled. Joanna laughed along with him.
"You are not the only one who had such thoughts. I am sure over a million people who are in a relationship now once had this same thought as you and also made exact promises too," Joanna replied amidst her laughter.
"I guess you are right about that," He agreed. He was still smiling when he saw her two hands glowing in different colours.
"Your hands are glowing!" He half screamed as he pointed at her hands which were clutching the glass of milk.
"I am aware of that," She smiled at him. "I want to heat the milk, that is why I summoned the flames," She explained when she saw that he was worried about her.
The worried guy who thought something was wrong with her was able to breathe normally after she confirmed that nothing was wrong with her.
"I have only seen you use the flames to launch an attack. So tell me, can it really heat the milk?" Amos quizzed, his attention centred on the glass of milk in her hand.
"Not only milk but I can use it to boil water too...,"
"Really?" He asked, not able to hide his fascination.
"Yes. But to achieve this result I need to be able to regulate the temperature of the flames," Joanna replied. The flame vanished almost immediately.
Joanna extended the glass of milk towards him, "Feel it," She instructed.
Eager to confirm whether what she said was true, he stretched his hand and held the glass of milk.
He smiled when he felt the warmth on his palm after he held the glass. "It's warm," He confirmed. He let go of the glass after he had confirmed the result for himself.
"You said you need to be able to regulate the temperature to heat the milk. So tell me, what will happen if you fail to regulate the temperature," He mumbled meekly.
"Boom!" She demonstrated with her right hand raised in the air.
