I don't want him to know

Amanda walked faster than Joy leading the way to the kitchen as if she had been there before, Joy first handed her a glass of apple juice she made herself,they were cold and she immediately took a sip, she demanded for the cake by pointing towards it the moment she sighted the freshly baked chocolate cake.

"Goodluck takes good care of you, you should cherish someone like that, they are not easy to come by"

Amanda looked at her and only nodded because she couldn't talk, her mouth was busy.

"Please I don't want him to know I ate this much cake"

She said pleading to Joy, who only smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Yes I won't tell him anything but you cannot take anymore, it is not good for the baby"

"I know but I don't think taking what you want once in a while would kill, besides Goodluck is a wicked man, he doesn't let me take anything, he is too protective, he doesn't even let me do anything, he is spoiling me too much"

Every girl wishes to be spoiled by their man you know"

Amanda looked at her again, she had almost forgotten what she heard earlier, she really didn't want to talk about before but she wanted to know what the deal was.

"Do you love him?

It was Joy's turn to open her mouth, she looked at him but could not even find her voice, she knew it was time for that discussion she thought was not going to happen, she wanted to make sure she was ready before answering, she took a glass and poured herself some juice.

On the other side of the of the house, Goodluck and Maxwell were eavesdropping on the ladies.

When Amanda had gone with Joy to the kitchen, he had been worried, he didn't know why his sister was acting all mature and was not asking questions, he wondered if Goodluck told her anything before they came to his place but Goodluck only told him to check his phone, that was when he remembered he had left his phone in the room, he had even silenced it because he didn't want to be distracted, he was having a swell time with Joy and really didn't want any distraction but he was glad that finally he would be able to tell his sister what was going on.

When Amanda asked Joy that question, he became interested, he also wanted to know what Joy's feelings were, why she accepted him if all the people he was sure must be after her.

Amanda was patiently waiting but it seemed like forever before Joy finally spoke up, but it was visible that her face brightened up as she was about to start talking about Maxwell.

"Well I don't know if what I feel is love, I do not have much experience with love.

At first Maxwell wanted to leave, he didn't like her response but what she said next filled his heart with warmth.

But all I know is that I want to be with him all the time, he makes me forget my worries, I had longed for him even before he came for me, I want to make him happy and seeing him sad makes me sad. I don't know if it's love but I am prepared to do just anything for him. I even broke my own rule today for him"

Amanda knew what she meant, she had heard them and now she was sure she was with her brother at that time.

"So maybe you can tell me better Amy, am I inlove?
