Chapter 136 How Do I Seduce A Man?
"Hmmm…," Audrey trailed as she tried to recall whether she had heard the name on campus before.
"Raymond?" Audrey repeated. She tapped her head with her index finger.
Joanna\'s eyebrows furrowed when it took Audrey a lot of time to respond.
"They just said he is quite popular so how come you don\'t know who he is?" Joanna demanded, a bit disappointed that she failed to know the identity of the mysterious guy.
Audrey gave up on recalling the guy\'s name. "I don\'t socialize with the other students that much so I don\'t think this should come as a surprise to you," Audrey defended herself with these few words.
She tucked her hands into her blue denim trousers pockets.
"You…,"
"Let\'s stop talking about some insignificant people," Audrey interrupted Joanna meekly. She diverted her attention to the quiet Amos who has been acting like a good boy.
He was acting like he wasn\'t the same shameless and outspoken guy that Joanna knew.
"Let\'s continue with what we were talking about before those rich brats rudely interrupted us," said Audrey.
The dreaded moment that Joanna and Amos thought that they had gotten over with surfaced once again.
Amos thought of what to do to get out of this mess he created. He sneaked a peek at his surroundings and then an idea dawned on him when he saw a lady running.
"Sorry but I want to see what the said guy looks like. I want to see whether he is as handsome as me, like the ladies said," Amos informed.
He ran off, not giving Audrey the chance to question him any longer.
"Hey, Anna, I can see you have a lot of work to do with him," Audrey mumbled. Her gaze followed Amos who hadn\'t stopped running.
"What work are you talking about?" Joanna asked. She was also looking at Amos departing back.
"He is shy. It means that all the job will be on you… you know what I mean," Audrey winked naughtily at Joanna.
[Did she just say Kay is shy? Is she kidding me]
Joanna subconsciously rolled her eyes. If Kayden is considered shy then what is she?
"Stop teasing me because we haven\'t gotten there yet…,"
"Because you haven\'t gotten to that stage doesn\'t mean that you won\'t so you know…," Audrey playfully nudged Joanna by the side.
Joanna couldn\'t resist chuckling. Her face turned red merely thinking of their hot body joining.
"Drey, how do I seduce a man?" Joanna pulled in and whispered into Audrey\'s ear. She pulled away and avoided Audrey\'s eyes.
"What!" Audrey remarked with widened eyes. She looked around to make sure that none was paying attention to them.
"Are… Is your love perhaps one-sided?" asked Audrey in a concerned tone after she had gotten over the shock.
"What… what are you saying?" Joanna stammered. Her flustered look made her look very suspicious.
Audrey raised her hand and tapped Joanna on the shoulder. "It\'s not a bad thing to be in love with a guy. As long as you are confident enough that you will be able to make him your mate forever…,"
"Just tell me whether you know of a tip to seduce a man," Joanna said hurriedly. She was so eager to get over the topic as fast as she could.
"It\'s ok if you don\'t know. You can recommend a movie or story that deals with seducing to me". Joanna concluded. She still wasn\'t able to look at Audrey as she talked.
How could she tell Audrey that her mission was to seduce Kayden and that she wanted to know how to seduce a man because she wants to complete her mission.
"Anna…,"
"Forget it if you don\'t know. I will look it up on the internet," Joanna started walking away.
She wouldn\'t know what to say if Audrey decided to ask her further questions.
[Seeing how she went as far as asking me for ways to seduce a man I guess this is very serious]
Audrey stood there staring at Joanna\'s departing back. She was so lost in thoughts to remember to follow Joanna.
[My Anna, is beautiful in and out, tall, slender, caring, kind-hearted… in fact she is an all-around perfect woman. The rarest gem anyone can ever find. I wonder what that jerk doesn\'t like about her]
Audrey was still lost in her thoughts until Joanna turned and stared at her when she couldn\'t feel her presence.
"Try and catch up if you want to see who this mysterious Raymond of a guy is," Joanna shouted to get Audrey\'s attention. She waved her hand as she talked.
Audrey snapped out of her daze on Joanna\'s second wave of the hand. "Go on. I will try to catch up," Audrey waved back at her.
Joanna hurried away when Audrey gave her permission to go ahead.
When she reached the place everyone gathered she was surprised to see them already dispersing.
Through the dispersing ladies\' conversation, she got to learn that the guy left just before she arrived there.
"I can\'t believe I was too late to catch a glimpse of the mystery guy that all the ladies on campus are crazy about," Joanna muttered as she turned to leave.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her right hand from behind.
"There is no need to feel regretful about not seeing him because your man here is a thousand times more handsome than him," Amos said, not releasing her hand.
The ladies remaining there all turned and threw murderous glances at Amos at the same time.
"How dare this ugly thing compare himself to our male idol?" A lady in green berated her disgusted look centred on Amos.
"Your problem is that you are such a narcissist," said Joanna as she pulled her hand away from his hold.
"Be careful so you don\'t get beaten up by a bunch of crazy ladies," Joanna strolled away. She made sure she marked the face of the lady that just bad-mouthed Amos before she left.
Amos chased after her. He overtook her. As he walked, he moved while looking at her face. He didn\'t care to look in the direction they were going.
"Aren\'t you supposed to be heading to the cafe now…,"
"Watch where you are going," Joanna yelled as she stretched her hand and yanked him to her side when he was about to collide with the red-haired lady at the front.
The atmosphere around them became tense after the near collision. Joanna resumed walking again afterwards.
"Anna, there is something I am very curious about. Do you care to broaden my horizon?" Amos asked his gaze centred on her face as he walked.
Joanna sneaked a peep at his face. From the glistening of his eyes, she could see he was up to no good.
"You can save your curiosity for…,"
"I will still go ahead to ask the question even though you didn\'t permit me. You should have known this of me by now," Audrey cut in grinning.
"Why did you bother asking in the first place," Joanna snarled as she avoided looking at his face.
She looked around for Audrey as they retraced their steps back to the basketball court.
"I am just wondering…," Amos trailed to get her attention. When he had successfully gotten her to pay attention to him, he continued;
"Why do you get so angry each time any of the students speak badly of me?" Amos\' question made Joanna come to an abrupt halt.
She turned her head to face Amos who looked like he still had a lot to say.
"I mean you were so ready to blow that Tiffany girl in the eye. And just a while ago I could see the way you glared at the lady that bad-mouthed me…," Amos\' eyes locked in hers as he talked.
"Aren\'t you this overprotective of me because you love me?" Amos nailed his real question at the right time.
With smiles on his face and hope in his eyes, he raised his hand and held her right hand.
He caressed her hands lovingly. He made sure he didn\'t look away from her eyeballs as he did this.
"You have now realised that you are in love with me right…," Joanna abruptly retract her hand from his hold. She turned her back on him in an instance.
"The crime of insulting the King is a price none of them will be able to pay so I am indirectly saving their poor heads…,"
"Since when did you become so benevolent?" Amos questioned. He turned and stood in front of her.
He raised his gaze and looked at her face. She avoided his eyes yet again.
[Gosh… what is wrong with me lately? Why can\'t I seem to control myself in front of him]
Joanna fidget with her long silver hair as she tried not to look at his face in hopes that she will be able to calm herself down.
"Are you still going to keep on denying your feelings for me…,"
"Drey must be waiting for us to return. Let\'s not keep her waiting any longer," Joanna hastened away as though someone was pursuing her.
"Seeing how she is in such a hurry to avoid my question I guess I still have a long way to go to make her realise that she loves me too," Amos muttered as he stared at her departing back.
He hurried to catch up to her when he saw that she was walking too fast.
