Bedding My Vampire Mate



"I am sure you would have done worse things to cheer me up if I were in your shoes so stop acting as if you would have ignored me," Audrey asserted.

She beamed when she saw the defeated look on Joanna's face.

"Since you know how stubborn your friend is I believe it's not a bad thing to admit that you lost to me," Audrey smiled as she reached out her hand and touched Joanna's silky silver hair.

From then onwards Joanna didn't speak much, she let Audrey do most of the talking while she quietly got ready.

After she had gotten ready the two ladies made their way downstairs.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Joanna muttered, her murderous stares shot at the guy standing close to Audrey's black Mercedes Benz.

"Hi," Kyle waved at them. His smile broadened even though Joanna's frown and deadly glares were enough to show that he wasn't welcome there.

"If I remember correctly, we made no plans for the morning. What are you doing here?" Audrey demanded. 

She let go of the angry lady's hand and moved closer to her car.

"I thought we agreed we shouldn't meet when Anna is around during the period their misunderstanding lasted?" Audrey reminded him about their agreement with a whisper.

"I know...," Kyle trailed off, his gaze glued on the lady who had her back facing them.

[But I had to do this to put my friend's mind at ease. I believe he would be less worried if I were the one to give him an update about how she is doing instead of his men who are watching over her. I am sorry I had to use you to get this information, Audrey...]

"Hey!" Audrey snapped her finger at the guy whom she noticed had zoned out.

"I believe my question is not a hard one so say something already," Audrey insisted.

"I was bored," Kyle replied.

"What!" Audrey remarked. Her soft expression turned dark following Kyle's statement.

'Are you trying to tell me that you are on the brink of ruining my plans just to get rid of your boredom...,"

"That was a joke so don't be upset. Not yet," Kyle interrupted abruptly. 

"I came because I thought you might need a driver...,"

"You are well aware that I know how to drive so why would the thought of being my driver even cross your mind?" Audrey asked. She was smart enough not to fall for his lies.

"That is...," Kyle paused. He tried to think of another lie since he failed to convince her with the first lie.

"You said we were running late so can we leave now?" Joanna asked. She turned around and gazed at them.

"Let me take care of this...,"

"He is already here and I am certain you aren't heartless enough to send your lover away," Joanna mumbled, her cold gaze shot at Kyle.

"Let's just go with him. I don't think we have any better option than this," Joanna said and moved to the back seat.

Audrey, who had expected her to make a fuss, was surprised to see her enter the car without putting up a fight.

Audrey peered at the face of the lady sitting inside the car as if she was looking at a stranger.

"What are you both still doing outside?" Joanna stuck out her head from the car and shouted at them.

"Let me know if you had decided to abort your plans...,"

"There is no need to keep your hopes up because the chances of me making that statement are zero," Audrey said and waved back at her.

She shot Kyle a suspicious glare before she turned and hurried to the other side of the car.

He watched as Audrey climbed into the car and shut the door.

As he stared at the occupants of the backseat of the car as they talked, he heaved a sigh of relief.

[I am so relieved the ending wasn't as bad as I had assumed it would be]

He strolled to the car without waiting to be called. He drove off after he had strapped his seatbelt and asked the ladies to do likewise.

Inside the car, while the ladies talked Kyle acted as if he were deaf and dumb.

They were moments Audrey expected him to butt in but to her surprise, her lover was well behaved as if it was all planned from the beginning.

"Drey, so what activities is your group going to display on D-Day?" Joanna quickly changed the topic of their discussion.

"You are well aware that should be kept only between my group members and me, so why did you ask me a question that required me to say no to you?" Audrey replied, her index finger pressing her temple.

"Hey, there is no need to look guilty for not telling me the truth," Joanna tapped her shoulder. Her broad smile was evident that she wasn't upset with Audrey.

"Because I am certain that my group will be the winning group in this year's carnival whether or not you tell me what your team has prepared for the upcoming event," Joanna said, her head held high as if she had already won the mentioned trophy.

"Really?" Audrey asked. She hardened her face despite the urge to burst out laughing.

"Absolutely!" She replied without hesitation. Audrey couldn't help but think that her best friend's confidence was out of this world.

"Even though we have less than a week away I believe that my group and I will be able to come up with something spectacular...,"

"Sure Girl... I look forward to seeing that," Audrey gave her a thumbs up with a sweet smile playing at the corner of her lips.

Although she didn't know why Joanna suddenly became talkative when she wouldn't utter a word to her earlier, she was pleased that she was so lively.

"So tell me, do you know those who are in my group?" Joanna asked after the air of excitement had died off.
