"That is the answer I came up with after thinking extensively for days," Joanna's smile shone as she hugged the pillow to her chest.
"What!" Audrey's eyes widened as she stared at her giggling best friend.
"Are you sure of what you are saying?" Audrey questioned her gaze not moving away from Joanna's face.
"Are you certain you did not come up with this answer because you are jealous…,"
"I didn't arrive with this answer out of jealousy, Drey," Joanna replied with a stern expression. She stood up from the bed, and walked to and fro the foot of the big bed.
"My answer is as a result of careful thinking… the truth is I have long fallen in love with me. I am in this situation because I didn't understand what it means to be in love with a man but now I do," Joanna said softly. She paused walking and look at Audrey eyeball to eyeball.
"I love him very much. This is something I am a hundred per cent sure of. I could never be wrong about what I feel for him," Joanna said with all certainty.
Her erratic heartbeat was as though she just finished running a marathon.
A beautiful smile lingered on Audrey's face as she stared at her best friend. She stood up from the bed and strolled to where Joanna stood.
"This is great!" Audrey remarked beaming.
Although it took her best friend a few days to find the answer that she knew on the first day she set eyes on Amos, she was very happy that her best friend had come to this realisation.
"I am so proud of you, baby girl," Audrey said while raising her hand to stroke Joanna's hair.
"This is something worth celebrating. If it wasn't very late into the night I would have definitely popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate your first step…,"
"Why are you patting my hair so seriously, Drey?" Joanna interrupted, holding Audrey's hand which was moving on her hair. "You are acting like my mother, do you know that…,"
"I thought you had long given that title to me so why the fuss…,"
"Hey!" Joanna yelled. She tried to put on a stern expression but her dancing eyes and the sweet smile lingering on the corner of her lips betrayed her.

"It's 2:00 am. If you are too excited to sleep, I am afraid that is not the same with me so let's save it for later ok. I am afraid neighbours will come knocking at our door…,"
"How did you know that I am too excited to sleep huh?" Joanna asked, her radiating smile gave Audrey a sense of satisfaction.
Looking at Joanna's radiating smile she felt so full even though she ended up going to bed on an empty stomach because of Joanna.
She felt so happy like she has won a jackpot.
Maybe she feels this way because for the past few days all she saw was a furious and heartbroken Joanna.
"Because it shows all over your face," Audrey said as she waved her hand at Joanna's face.
"I guess you are right about that," She replied as she took a step forward and sat on the foot of the bed.
"I feel so happy and for some reason, I can't stop myself from smiling. My heart beats faster any time I try not to be…,"
"That's the first sign of being in love, I guess," Audrey said. She worked over and sat beside Joanna.
Joanna was a bit taken aback when Audrey turned and cupped her face. "Congratulations baby girl on officially becoming a fool," Audrey said jokingly.
Joanna also raised her hand and cupped Audrey's cheeks. "And I wonder when you are gonna become a fool too just like me," Joanna said grinning from ear to ear.
"It has to do with meeting the right man who struck the right cord. There is no need to rush things. I have so many millennials to live so there is no need to rush," Audrey replied, the smile not leaving her face.
"You…,"
"I am sure you are gonna rush off to tell him your answer the moment it's morning so let me give you a tip," Audrey said standing up from where she sat. She moved and squat in front of Joanna.
"Listen to me, you are gonna wake up and act natural; as if nothing happened. Do you hear me?" Audrey questioned.
"And why do I have to behave as you say…,"
"Because today is a special day not only for you but also for him so you are gonna make your confession special too," Audrey said cutting in softly.
"You are gonna confess your love to him in a romantic set-up perfect for love confession…,"
"Although I received my paycheck not long ago, I don't think the money is enough to hire the services of…,"
"And who says you are gonna need to lift a finger when you have your best friend here to do all the work?" Audrey questioned as she beats her chest with her right hand.
Joanna shook her head as she stood up from the bed. "You have done so much for me. I can't let you…,"
"And who says I can't do more huh?" She asked. She stood up and follow Joanna. Together they stood in front of the window staring at the sky.
The quiet atmosphere was perfect for thinking but not for Audrey whose ears could pick up sounds from miles.
"You are my best friend. You deserve the best…,"
"I really can't let you do that…,"
"If you think my title as your best friend isn't enough for me to do this much for you then that is alright," Audrey said sternly. Thinking that her action might have hurt Audrey, she turned and looked at her friend.
She didn't care about the cold night breeze rushing in through the opened glass window.
"You can consider me as your Sugar Daddy then," She said confidently.
Joanna's eyes widened in bewilderment.
