"What the fuck just happened!!" Joshua stood as soon as he noticed the two n walking out of the canteen as though nothing had happened a few monts ago. "I thought they would start fighting each other, and I would get to see an exciting scene, blood would spill and I would enter in as a hero and bring peace between the two."
Ivy too was surprised by the turn of events and kept looking in the direction the two n had gone. But the mont she heard Joshua's absurd words, her eyes narrowed and she glared at him, not hiding her annoyance whatsoever.
"Are you out of your freaking mind?" She hissed, making sure to keep her voice as low as possible. Already, people were pointing fingers at them and she did not wish to gain more attention from them. "Do you want them to quarrel and battle with each other?"
Joshua sensed Ivy's fury from her tone and he backed off imdiately. "Hey, calm down." His voice deflated and he took a few steps back. "I was just joking. It's not that I want them to fight, no. I was just..." He scratched his head awkwardly, trying to find the appropriate words to calm the tigress in front of him.
"Considering the tension and animosity in the air, I thought they would at least have a war of words. But here....the situation just changed beyond what I had expected." Joshua's brows furrowed in disbelief and he lowered his head as he thought about all that had happened so ti ago.
"I'm wondering the sa too. What the hell just happened and what were Dad and Mr. Carter even talking about?" Ivy's anger vanished like vapor and she pursed her lips. "Did you hear what they were talking about?"
"No, I have no idea. They were too discreet and impossible to listen to. It was as if they were speaking softly on purpose. I could not even read their lips, not even Dad's."
Joshua's words elicited a response from Ivy and she raised her brows in surprise. "Do you know lip reading?"
"Yeah..." Joshua replied as if it was a question never ant to be asked. He looked at Ivy as though he was looking at a fool before he composed his expression. But then, he realized that he had overreacted in ti before Ivy could flare up again.
"It was one of the many things we were trained in when we were young. It is helpful in a lot of situations."
"But not this ti." Ivy's response was imdiate. "You could not read their lips this ti."
It was now Joshua's turn to glare at her and Ivy did not move her eyes away as she faced him head-on.
"Why are you glaring at ?" Ivy gave him a poker face in return. "Accept it; your talent was useless this ti. You could not read the two n."
"Hey, at least you accepted that I'm talented." Joshua grinned and Ivy rolled her eyes in frustration.
"You are unbelievable." Ivy groaned and stomped her foot in anger.
"I know, I know. But I'd be glad if you said the sa when we are doing so things in bed. It would motivate more." Joshua winked at her, and Ivy instantly brought her hands close to his neck.
"How I wish I kiss you. Ughh!!"
"What did you just say?" Joshua stood frozen in his spot and blinked at her, his eyes filled with hope while his lips curved up slowly.
"What did I say?" Ivy was still oblivious to what had happened and what she had said in her montary loss of control.
"Did you just say you want to kiss ?" Joshua raised his brows playfully. "Yes, you did. I did not hear you wrong."
It was only then that Ivy realized what she had spoken before and she wanted to slap her tongue. 'How the hell did kill beco kiss? What was I even thinking? Stupid, Ivy. Stupid, stupid, stupid.'
"Tell , tell . Do you wanna kiss ? Are you that desperate?" Joshua did not give up and moved closer to her imdiately, maintaining a small space between them to keep the watchful eyes around him from gossiping more. Already, they had beco the center of everyone's attention. He did not wish for them to start speaking badly about him or Ivy, especially Ivy.
"We could go ho right now and you can kiss all you want. I am at your service, baby." Joshua waved his hand in front of him dramatically as though he was offering himself to Ivy. "What do you say? Do you want to take this offer? It's exclusively for you and you alone. You may do whatever you want with . I am all yours."
"Are you done?" Ivy folded her hands and stared at him as though she was looking at a moron. "Or do you still have more nonsense to say? Of course, you may say everything at once. I do not want to hear you going all crazy again."
"Hey." Joshua pouted lightly. "I was not saying anything nonsensical. It's the truth and I will say it again and again. And before you start complaining and scolding , rember who started it first. Remind who was the one who stated that she wanted to kiss ."
"I think your ears are playing gas with you." Ivy averted her gaze away from him for a brief mont, unable to tolerate the intensity in his eyes. "I said kill, not kiss you. I want to kill you not kiss you."
"Are you sure that was what you said?" Joshua was not the one to accept defeat easily and not caring about the people around him this ti, he stepped closer to her.
"Yeah. And why are you coming this close to ? We are at the hospital. Behave!!" Ivy warned and moved back.
"I would have shown you what would have happened if we were at ho instead of the hospital. I would have kissed you as wanted, no strings attached."
"It was kill. K..I..L..L. Did you hear ? Kill. I want to kill you. Not kiss you." Ivy's annoyance got the best of her and she spat before she walked away from him. "You are so annoying. I need to leave before I lose my mind."
