Bedding My Vampire Mate

[Once upon a time I might have hated Kayden but honestly, I knew that he treats you the best. I might not have wanted to admit it because I was scared that he will steal my sister away from me but I know this much]

Audrey smiled. In the past, she has stumbled upon Kayden and his men dealing with some of the people who bullied Joanna.

She has also overheard his conversations with his men asking them to protect her in secret but she always pretended not to know it.

At times she was happy and at other times scared. She was scared that his excessive care might harm her more instead of keeping her from harm\'s way.

[Though I hate to admit I can tell that he will give you the happiness you have always wanted. He will give you a loving family you never had. I know that he makes you happy so I wished things will work out between the two of you]

She smiled and raised her hand to stroke Joanna\'s eyebrows.

"I love him," Joanna declared. Her eyes flew open before Audrey\'s hand reached her eyebrows.

"That is great," Audrey replied excitedly.

"So now tell me, what will your life be without him?" Audrey quizzed and took her position beside Joanna on the couch.

"Life without him will be full of emptiness," She responded meekly. Joanna stood up and walked away from the centre table.

"Actually, I thought that having my powers was everything but I have realised recently that as long as I have him with me it doesn\'t matter whether or not I am powerful. And that is because he has never made me feel inferior and I am sure it will be the same….," Joanna let her words linger. A smile crept on her pretty face as she walked about the spacious room.

Audrey listened to her lovestruck friend speak with keen interest.

[In the past I hated those who pushed you to the cliff but right now I feel like that was a good thing. In this lifetime I believe I wouldn\'t have ever gotten to see this confident and expressive side in you if that tragedy didn\'t happen. And this is why I feel like it was necessary for your growth. Forgive me if I sound selfish, Anna]

Audrey\'s eyes glimmered as she watched her smiling best friend talk.

"I can handle living my life without my powers but I will die if he isn\'t in my life. I will kill myself…,"

"Hey, how could you say that in my presence? Don\'t you care about your best friend\'s feelings anymore?" Audrey retorted, faking a painful expression.

She stood up with her right hand clutching her chest.

"Also, how could you carelessly talk about death? Besides it hasn\'t come to that hmm," Audrey said, still gripping her chest.

"I know that but I am just saying," She mumbled. Her gaze didn\'t leave Audrey\'s chest she was grabbing so tightly.

"So what is wrong with your chest?" She asked.

"Can\'t you see that my heart is in pain? How could you break my heart so much by…,"

"But your heart is on the other side," Joanna retorted.

"You…," Audrey couldn\'t say a word when she realised that Joanna had seen through her plans.

"Wait here while I freshen up," The smiling Joanna instructed and started walking to the bedroom.

"Yeah, freshened up so we can go chill somewhere and continue with our conversation," She mumbled and returned to the couch.

Her words made Joanna pause and spin. "We will go out and chill somewhere nice but that will be after I take care of someone who has been getting on my nerves lately," Joanna informed.

She was a bit taken aback when Audrey appeared in front of her.

"And who is that?" She demanded curiously.

"Don\'t worry you will know when we get there," She grinned and slid into the bedroom before Audrey could pull her back.

Audrey entered the room to continue with their conversation but Joanna ran into the bathroom on sighting her.

"Hey, why are you being stingy huh?" Audrey shouted, her gaze centred on the bathroom door.

Joanna grinned as she made her way to the shower.

When she came out the anxious Audrey was standing at the door waiting for her.

"So who is it that you want to deal with?" Audrey quizzed and tailed Joanna. Joanna walked to the wardrobe acting like she didn\'t hear Audrey\'s question.

"Is it Tiff, her friends… you know I am not good at guessing so will you stop keeping me in suspense hmm," Audrey said and grabbed Joanna\'s hand. She tried to make a cute expression but that didn\'t turn out well.

"If you want to act cute I guess you will need to learn that from my little rice ball or Kay… no, I mean Amos," Joanna playfully replied. She gently brushed Audrey\'s hand away.

"Also, if you want to know who I am talking about then you will have to stop disturbing me because that\'s the only way we will leave early," She beamed and turned to open the wardrobe. As she went about trying to dress up Audrey followed. She tried all ways possible to pry the answers out of her.

Notwithstanding all her tricks she still ended up unable to get a name from the cautious Joanna.

After she dressed up the two girls left the apartment. Despite not knowing what exactly she was up to, Audrey was more excited than Joanna.

"So where....,"

"Shush...," Joanna placed her hand on her lips and pointed at the cell phone placed on her right ear.

She didn\'t need to say a word for Audrey to understand her hints.

"Hello, who is this?" The recipient asked on answering the line.

"Hello Aunt, it\'s me, Eva," Joanna faked a voice to the shock of the lady by her side.

Audrey stared at her best friend with a dropped jaw. She was momentarily speechless.

TOP COMMENTERS

Comments make an author believe that his or her readers are not only enjoying his/her book but are also following it. And that is exactly how I feel each time I receive your comments.

What some readers don\'t know is that not commenting sometimes makes the author feels lonely.

Thanks for putting a smile on my face and keeping me company through your comments. Your comments mean a lot to me.
