If there was one thing Amos and Anthony noticed about Joanna from the moment they left the cafe until this moment with all of them in the car. It was the fact that she hasn't said a word nor did she pay them any attention. "So little man, where do you want us to go or what do you want to eat?" Amos asked just to ease the tension in the car. "I want to eat ice cream," Anthony shouted in excitement. "If that is what you want then we will get it for you...," "You don't eat that kind of stuff so why do…-

"We have got a mission to accomplish here so we can go back home so get your acts together. Because if you don't, I will be forced to do something drastic and I am sure you wouldn't like what I will do," Derrick threatened coldly. "You wouldn't dare lay a finger on her...," "Try me and see then," Derrick retorted. He stomped towards the entrance located not very far away from there. "He is crazy!" Raymond growled, his gaze glued on the direction Derrick went. "He must be joking if he thinks I will…

"I will go and get it for you, don't worry," Raymond offered to help out. He stood up and moved to the counter. Joanna wasn't sure whether Anthony's intervention was deliberate or unintentional but still, she was happy he came to her rescue. "Are you tired?" He asked in a meek tone. He shifted his hands from the table to her thigh where she placed her left hand. "If you are exhausted I can ask Mrs Parker to come up with an excuse for you to come home with us...," "I am not tired," She beamed at him.…

"Brother Ray, what about Brother Derrick?" Anthony asked. He looked around with hopes of seeing Derrick but he couldn't find him even after his search. "Why are you both not together today?" He added innocently. "That is because he is shooting a commercial as we are speaking," Raymond replied. "Commercial!" He repeated the word like saying it twice would make him understand what it means. "What is a commercial? And will he join us later when he is done...," "No more asking questions ok? You are not…

"But...," "Don't forget Little rice ball is here also. Making him listen to adults talk will do him no good. You should know this well after spending time with him," Joanna interrupted when Amos refused to yield. Amos wanted to challenge Raymond some more but he decided to yield to Joanna after he recalled that others weren't aware of their relationship with Mrs Parker. Causing a scene there would only complicate things not only for him but everyone involved. "Ok, I will listen to you on this," He…

She snuck a peep at the ladies when she heard noises coming from the direction of their table. "My pictures are posted on the internet?" Raymond half screamed. He returned the cup of espresso to the table and carried his phone laid on the table. Instantly, he navigated through his social media. It didn't take him up to a minute to see that his picture had gone viral. Despite that he wasn't happy about this he was relieved that the ones who posted his pictures captured at the cafe didn't post…

From what she recalled, he wore a glittering white jacket earlier but right now he was wearing a plain green shirt. "Just so I won't garner much attention and cause you problems I particularly choose this plain shirt. What do you think? I am very considerate right?" Raymond asked as he winked at her. Joanna quickly turned and looked around her to confirm whether anyone else saw him winking at her. She was so relieved that the mean girls sitting at the corner had momentarily taken their eyes off…

"She is such a lovely girl. I wonder why people hate her for no reason," Mrs Parker mumbled, her gaze glued on the door. Getting to the counter Joanna was stunned to see Raymond sitting at the spot she made him sit on the first day he visited the cafe. She chuckled when she recalled how she gave him a notepad because she assumed he was mute. "You are looking at him now and some minutes ago he found it hard to take his eyes off the counter. I guess he was searching for you," Amelia commented when she…

"He is not at fault for this so don't blame him. If anyone should be blamed for this it should be me for failing to accomplish the task he gave to me until the end," Mrs Parker said and bowed to Joanna. "You are much older than me so why are you bowing your head to me? Besides you never did anything wrong," Joanna muttered. She tried to make Mrs Parker stand with her head held high but the woman didn't move an inch. "It's true my actions made you upset. Also, I remembered I have made you angry a few…

She merely saved one baby but the woman's appreciation made her feel as though she had saved the world. "The feeling of being praised for doing something good sure feels amazing. I have never felt this way before," Joanna giggled and placed her right hand on her throbbing chest. "It's just been a matter of seven minutes since we met today and I have learned a lot of things about you. I feel thrilled that I ran into you on the streets today," Raymond said, his gaze glued on her face. His words made…
