Joan was frustrated by the call and did not want to let go of her but the phone continued to ring.
He could only let go of her and said, “I’ll answer this.”
Amanda blushed. Although they had decided to be together, all these happened quickly and she felt uneasy being so intimate with him.
“I’ll leave first while you answer the call.” She stood up and walked towards the door.
Joan held onto her hand tightly and said, “I’ll send you home.”
“No need. I drove here.” Amanda replied.
The caller pestered and he could only release her hand, “Drive carefully and let me know when you’re safely home.”
“Okay.” Amanda walked out of the room.
She arrived home and saw Andrew as she was going up the stairs. She noticed that Andrew had a black eye.
“Andrew.” She walked over to him.
“You went to see Joan?” Andrew asked.
Amanda nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“Your eye…” She walked over and wondered how come his injury seemed like Joan’s but at a different spot.
“Did you fight with Joan?” She asked curiously.
“Yes.” Andrew went to get a glass of water and said, “I taught him a lesson so that he won’t bully you in the future.”
“Who won?” Amanda took some ice cubes to rub his eye.
“What? No winners.” He declared. It was an even fight.
Amanda led him to the sofa, “I’ll apply some ice onto it otherwise it will be swollen.”
