"Wow… this is nice," Mr Fin exclaid. He picked the wine glass whose content was blood while he passed the other to Amos.
"What is so surprising about this?" Joanna asked, not understanding why the guy reacted the way he did.
"He didn't even offer a glass of water and was eager to chase out. I am happy that the wife is very hospitable…,"
"What-what are you saying?" The flustered Joanna stamred as she stole a glance at Amos to see his reaction.
She was so surprised to see him so calm after Mr Fin's comnt.
"We are not married…,"
"Of course, I know that but I am also aware that in a matter of ti we will soon hear wedding giggles," Mr Fin cut in. He secretly winked at Amos after he finished talking.
Joanna wanted to respond but when she saw how quiet Amos was she changed her mind.
What if she responded and it ended up being her wishful thinking?
Nothing hurts more than failed expectations and she didn't want this to happen to her.
Maybe this is the reason she is hesitating to confess her love to him.
"Everyone says Mr Fin is a stern man. So days he doesn't smile because he is incapable of feeling emotions but why does it feel like I am talking to a different person?" Joanna asked. She walked over to the couch Amos sat on and took her position beside him.
"Since you arrived here, you have teased more than twice and smiled very often. Why are you so different from who you are on campus?" Joanna questioned in a serious tone.
Mr Fin took a sip from the glass of blood before he returned it to the centre table.
"That is the professional Mr Finley that you are talking about and this one sitting here is the one outside campus…,"
"Aren't they the sa people?" Joanna interrupted calmly.
"Of course, they are the sa people but the environnt usually determines how one acts. Let's take you for example," Mr Fin said. He adjusted well on the table.
"You won't tell that the way you behave at ho is the sa way you behave outside your ho…,"
"Of course, that is a given. It's just like you asking to treat him the sa way I treat my father or stepmother," Joanna said.
Talking about Adhara made her recall that Laura's grandmother was supposed to co.
[I wish she wouldn't co just yet]
Joanna got a bit distracted but she soon got back on track.
"See, you understand exactly what I am trying to say," Mr Fin replied with a smile.
"Although I am naturally stern I loosened up sotis, especially if I am in the midst of friends," Mr Fin explained softly.
While Mr Fin talks Amos was busy staring at Joanna's face. The secret Mr Fin disclosed to him kept replaying in his head.
He so much wanted to ask her whether his assumptions were true but he didn't even know how to begin asking such a question.
Joanna turned to look at Amos when she felt a burning glare on her face.
"Why are you looking at like that?" She asked. She subconsciously touched her right cheek as she waited for his response.
"Do I have sothing on my face?" She beca a bit uncomfortable when he didn't utter a word.
"Didn't you say you were famished and wanted to prepare food for yourself so how co you are still here?" He quizzed, ignoring her questions.
"Why?" She demanded. "Are you angry that I am stealing your friend's attention from you…,"
"Don't be silly, do I look so petty that I would get angry over such things?" Amos asked. He relaxed his back against the couch and forced himself to look away from her face.
"Maybe, you are," Mr Fin said in almost a whisper but both Joanna and Amos heard what he said.
Amos threw Mr Finley a fierce glare but he didn't press the issue further.
"You have to eat before you take drugs. I am worried that delaying having your drugs will cause the pains to beco imnse…,"
"From what I know you didn't take her to the hospital so how do you know the drugs to give her? - Aren't you afraid you might overdose her or give her the wrong dication?" Mr Fin interrogated. His nonchalant attitude as he took the wine glass to his mouth annoyed Amos.
"I was taught how to use the basic first aid dication by Alia…," He paused midway when he noticed what he was about to say.
"Did she teach you how to use the first aid kit?" Joanna retorted. Despite trying to hide how angry she was, a bit of anger still showed in her tone.
"Didn't you tell earlier that your doctor taught you how to do that?" She asked as she looked at him for a reply.
Amos bites down his lower lips not knowing what to say to her. With his eyes, he pleaded with Mr Fin for help.
[I have done him one favour so why don't I do him another favour now?]
"Did you lie to her?" Mr Fin retorted leaving Amos astonished with his words. "You look like one who would never lie, I never knew you were a great liar…," Joanna stood up and stomped out of the sitting room without sparing Amos another glance.
"Hey, Finley!" Amos shouted angrily after Joanna was gone. "Were you here to ruin everything I have worked hard to achieve instead of helping ?".
"Kayden…,"
"If you were here to ruin our relationship that I have suffered to fix then I will advise that you take your leave. We are friends and I don't want to harm you," Amos standing with his back facing Mr Fin said.
"Does it look like I am trying to ruin your relationship with her…,"
"Isn't it very obvious?" He cut in sharply.
