บท 824: A hundred times [1/2]

[How in the world?]

Hearing the dumbfounded comment of [Maestro] I was just as surprised. I honestly thought that since I couldn't out think Jo, I should just come clean. And when I did, my Shooting star flashed me her most gorgeous smile. 

I was about to ask when Jo placed her finger on my lips. Jo had a mischievous look before pulling me in for a kiss. In contrast to her usual passion, the way we kissed was slow and tender. As if all we wanted was to know we were not alone.

When we separated, Jo began to explain. "Darling, you know what the problem is with being so smart?"

"I honestly don't."

"It's learning that many of the people you meet lie, cheat and steal. That there are those that put on masks all to create acts. Just so they can manipulate others into doing what they want."

"Oh." Guilt filled me as I did the exact same thing to Jas, Robyn and Bella. 

"This is why I love you, Darling."

"Because I am stupid?"
