Bedding My Vampire Mate

"This is not timidness, Rick," He started with confidence. "I didn't show up in front of her because the right time hasn't reached yet…,"

"You can call it whatever sweet name you want but I don't care. All in all, it all boils down to the fact that you didn't reveal yourself you are timid," Derrick refused to yield to his friend.

"You can say whatever you want, I won't argue. I should be happy you didn't ruin things for me due to your talkative attitude," The tall guy replied.

Back at the cafe, the way they kept on talking without including her in their conversation made Joanna feel out of place.

Joanna could do nothing other than glare at Amelia.

[I have had enough of this!]

Joanna clasped her fist until it bled. She sprang up to her feet, startling Amelia that was about to whisper in Amos' ears.

"What's wrong?" Amos asked as he gazed at her face.

Joanna ignored him and shifted her attention to Mrs Parker's direction. "If you don't have anything else to say I will take my leave now," Joanna said.

She tried her possible best not to sound rude. But that she didn't sound rude didn't mean her expression didn't convene her inner feelings.

"You can go home so you can come to work as early as possible since you don't have morning classes tomorrow," Mrs Parker replied.

The moment Mrs Parker said the words she wanted to hear, she pulled out the chair and walked away without sparing Amos a glance.

"Joan, wait let's go together…,"

"That won't be necessary. Because we came together doesn't mean we should leave together," Joanna spatted out the words harshly.

"Besides you seem very busy so I will leave you to continue with what you were doing," Joanna said. She shot Amelia a murderous glare. She spun and stomped out of the cafe afterwards.

"Joan..," She was already gone before he could call out to her.

"Amos, let's continue with what we were saying…,"

"Don't touch me," Amos shouted to the bewilderment of Amelia and Mrs Parker.

"I have touched you not to go to the extreme so why won't you listen to me huh…,"

"Please lower your voice now," Amelia said as she stretched her hand to pull him back onto the chair.

Her hands were violently pushed away by the angry guy.

"I made it clear to you that I won't be a part of anything that will hurt her extremely…,"

"Calm down hmm," Amelia pleaded with everything within her when she noticed the way other customers looked at them.

"Others are listening. Also, she hasn't gone far. All our progress will go down the drain if she overhears…,"

"To hell with that bullshit," Amos said. In anger, he pulled out the chair and left the cafe in anger.

"Go after him and make sure he doesn't go after her," Mrs Parker instructed.

"You can see how angry he was. I am afraid I might end up getting strangled if..,"

"He won't do that so go and do like I said," Mrs Parker ordered sternly.

With reluctance, Amelia stood up and ran after him.

"It's a matter of time before we achieve our aim. I can sense that this day is not far from today," Mrs Parker muttered, her gaze following her cousin's back.

Outside the cafe, Amos followed the direction he saw her take but alas she was nowhere to be seen.

The narrow street was quiet with no soul in sight at that moment.

While he was busy looking for her, Joanna reappeared in Audrey's apartment. The lady who was changing clothes was startled out of her mind when someone suddenly appeared at her back.

"Fuck! It's you!" Audrey remarked while holding her panting chest.

"Why did you…,"

BAM!

The shattering of the flower vase following Joanna's assault divided the beautiful blue vase into two.

As if that wasn't enough she threw her designer handbag against the floor not caring about the damages.

"Anna, what is the problem?" Audrey asked worriedly. She put back on the trousers she wanted to take off.

"Did something happen between you and him…,"

"I don't want to hear his name. I hate him and that flirty lady… In fact, I hate them all," Joanna said almost in tears.

She stomped to the bed, laid down and pulled over the blankets until every part of her body was covered including her head.

"Things were going very well between the two of you when I dropped by earlier so what happened again?" Audrey asked, walking to the bed.

She took her position beside Joanna. "Did he do something to upset you or were you at fault…,"

"What could I possibly do to upset him huh?" Joanna yelled as she pulled down the blankets in anger.

"I did everything to please him but still, she only needed to say a few words for him to forget everything about our plans," Joanna said with misty eyes.

She felt so pathetic but she couldn't help it.

"From what I saw you both look more like newlyweds so what did he do to make you so mad in rage?... You are getting me all confused," Audrey said.

From what she noticed about Joanna after she returned, she knew that her best friend had a strong mind, not the type to get hurt to the point of almost being in tears.

For Joanna to behave like this she knew something must have happened that really hurt her. And she wants to know what exactly he did.

"I don't want to talk about him or what happened?" She said as she pulled the blankets over her head once again.

"You..,"

"Drey, can you please leave me alone? I want to be left alone right now," Joanna said meekly.

"Whatever it is, we can talk things out instead of hiding away. I am certain we can find solutions…,"

"Please, Drey hmm…," Joanna pleaded. Underneath the sheets, she quickly cleaned the tears that were about to fall.

Audrey stared at the wriggling figure underneath the blankets. Her heart ached to see her best friend this way.

Knowing their situation very well she was aware that their problems were very simple. She wondered why her strong-headed friend was making things difficult for herself.

"Are you sure you want me to leave?" Audrey asked not knowing whether leaving her best friend in this condition was the right thing to do.

"Hmm..," Joanna replied softly.
