His heart almost jumped out of his chest when the same lady who acted as if she was made of stone shut her eyes, ready to welcome his delicious lips against hers.
[She still loves and a lot at that!]
Amos screamed in his mind. An evil smirk spread across his face as he stared at the lady who had melted before he even had the opportunity to do anything to her.
[Let's see whether she will still be able to look into my eyes and say she has no feelings for me after this]
He grinned and kissed her at last.
At first, Amos wanted to tease her as revenge for the hurtful words she said to him but how she took possession of his lips stunned him.
For a minute he wondered whether she was the same lady who acted as if he meant nothing to her.
Since he had missed her a lot he gladly welcomed everything she threw at him.
He happily let her take the lead.
Joanna, who seems to be possessed by a horny beast, wrapped her hand around his neck and kissed him deeper.
She was so overcome with excitement and completely forgot that where she stood was in front of an apartment building that anyone could walk past at any moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs they made out, they didn't see Audrey who just came out of her room peeped down at them.
Having known how Joanna planned to keep a distance from Amos, Audrey was awestruck at the scene she saw.
Though the scene was happening right in front of her eyes, Audrey rubbed her eyes to make sure that she wasn't imagining things.
[Didn't she decide to avoid him? She went through so much to be able to achieve that and now all her hard work has gone down the drain... I am certain she is gonna get pretty upset when she realises what had happened]
Audrey lamented for her best friend's sake.
She took a last peep at the two lovers who were still engaged in their hot kiss.
Audrey hurried inside the room afterwards to avoid being seen by the two of them.
It wasn't until Audrey went into her room that Amos gave a slight bit to Joanna's delicious lips.
All Joanna needed to get back to her senses was this one bite.
The instant she got back to her senses she pushed his chest and pulled away from him.
"Joan...,"
"Hey, why did you do that?" Joanna accused, almost at the brink of tearing up.
"Joan, let me explain....,"
"Stay away from me," Joanna snarled and beat away his outstretched hand.
"I don't want to set my eyes on you. Do otherwise and I won't hesitate to hurt myself in front of you," Joanna threatened and ran into the tall building without sparing him another glance.
Her sudden outburst felt like a dream to Amos. For a moment he couldn't wrap his finger around what happened a few seconds ago.
"Did she just get mad at me for what she did?" Amos muttered. He kept his eyes fixed on the elevator which closed not long ago.
"I need to find out what happened a moment ago. I bet I won't be able to sleep a wink again tonight if I don't sort things out," He mumbled and made his way into the building.
About three minutes after Joanna ran into the room, the doorbell of Audrey's front door rang.
Because she knew who was at the door, Audrey, who was trying to calm the crying Joanna down, ignored the doorbell.
On Amos' third attempt, Audrey could no longer keep her cool anymore.
"Isn't it already obvious that we don't want to talk to him so why won't he just go away?" Audrey retorted with her fist clasped.
She let go of the sobbing Joanna and stomped towards the door.
Amos' downcast expression lit up the moment someone from inside opened the brown door.
"Audrey, I want to see Joan. Help me to relay that to her...,"
"You are a smart person, I am certain you were already aware that we ignored you on purpose so why didn't you leave after understanding the hint?" Audrey snapped.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wasn't polite with her reply nor was her expression friendly either.
One could see that she was really mad and not faking it to chase him away.
"I want to talk to her and clear up the misunderstanding. You know just how much I can't stand her being mad at me...,"
"I guess you will need to start getting used to it from now onwards because she doesn't want to see or talk to you," Audrey cut in sharply.
Her grip around the door tightened in case Amos felt cornered and decided to break in by force.
"From what I overheard, she made that point as clear as crystal when she left you...,"
"Audrey!" Amos screamed her name to call her to order.
"Audrey, you are best friends. You must know better than me that she is lying about not being in love with you. And if that is the case, shouldn't you help us to make up instead of trying to tear us apart? Isn't that what a good friend should...,"
"I will do anything that makes her happy without having to answer to you...,"
"And you think she is happy right now?" Amos retorted.
Audrey's cold gaze wavered after Amos made this statement. She avoided his eyes at that instant.
She knows too well how much her best friend's heart was hurting.
Joanna was against the idea from the beginning but was forced to make a compromise so how could she not know her best friend's struggles?
Of course, she is aware of what the lovebirds were passing through but who is she to intervene in their problems when this involved the matter of their safety?
She doesn't mind being labelled the villain as long as her best friend and the man she loves comes out of this unscathed at the end of all these.
"Tell me, do you really think that keeping a distance from me makes your best friend happy?" Amos pried for answers.
