Bedding My Vampire Mate

Amos shifted his gaze back to look at the smiling Joanna.

"Also, about what happened that day, I would love it if you could keep it a secret ok," Joanna said to the guy whose gaze was focused on her.

Back at Amos\' table Amelia turned and spoke in a hushed tone, "She even shares a secret with him?" Amelia questioned. She stressed the word SECRET, making sure it sank into Amos\' head.

"What could have happened between a young woman and man for her to ask him to keep it a secret…,"

"Can you stop talking for once?" Amos who was already in a foul mood snapped, standing up from the chair. He stomped away in anger.

Amelia\'s lips curled into an evil smirk as she watched Amos stroll toward the restroom direction.

[Love is a funny feeling… I can\'t believe it has the power to humble the most powerful man in the Kingdom. The usually cool-headed man has been made irrational by this feeling called love. I want to know what it feels like to be in love at least once in my lifetime]

Amelia\'s eyes darted to where Joanna stood. For some reason, she wasn\'t surprised to see that she was looking in the direction Amos disappeared to.

At the handsome guy\'s table, Joanna reached out her hand and collected the notepad from the guy.

She read the few words he scribbled on the notepad. "A cup of coffee and an almond cake," Joanna read out the words he wrote.

She lifted her gaze and look at him. She didn\'t find it strange that ever since she got there the guy\'s gaze hasn\'t left her body for a split second.

"I will bring your order in a few minutes," Joanna said and smile at him. She spun and proceeded to the counter.

Meanwhile, as Joanna busied herself trying to get his order ready, Amos that just entered the men\'s restroom paced about in front of the washing hand sink.

As he walked to and fro the front of the white sink, the scene of Joanna smiling bewitchingly at the new guy replayed in his head.

Each time the scene replayed in his head, his anger rose higher.

"They have barely met, how could she smile so sweetly at a stranger?... Is she perhaps smitten by him?" Amos muttered raising his tightened fist to punch the white walls.

At the last minute, he retract his hand when he recalled what will become of the restroom if he dared launched a blow at the wall.

"To get her to smile at me the way she smiled at him I know many years and how hard I worked to achieve that. They barely met and she smiled at him so sweetly, isn\'t she being biased?" Amos mumbled.

He was is mad with jealousy and couldn\'t think straight. He stayed very long in the restroom but even at that, he didn\'t succeed in calming himself down.

At the main cafe, Joanna was about to turn and leave after delivering the second cup of coffee to the handsome guy, when the guy coughed.

When he coughed the second and third time, it alarmed Joanna that something was amiss.

Instantly she swivelled and dropped the tray on the table and bent down close to him.

"Are you ok?" Joanna questioned the guy who was still coughing violently. Because of his coughing, he and Joanna became the centre of attention once again.

She reached out her hand and rubbed the back of the one who was still coughing. Because of his repeated coughing, his eyes became misty as a result.

"I have had enough of him," Amos sprang up to his feet. Amelia grabbed his hand in time before he could carry out what was on his mind.

"And what do you wanna do?" Amelia asked not letting go of the hand of the furious guy.

"It\'s so obvious he is pretending, I will put him in his place. I will never let anyone take advantage of her good heart…,"

"And as what are you gonna interfere in her affairs?" Amelia cut in as she stood up also.

"As her lover, friend, brother, an admirer or what?" Amelia asked. Her question mellowed Amos down. His angry expression faded.

"Although you are in love with her, she isn\'t in love with you. In fact, she has always taken your love for granted. Your relationship with her is undefined so what are you gonna say you are to her if you interrupt them?" Amelia questioned softly.

Despite that, her voice was mellowed, her words pierced deep into Amos\' heart.

Though he hates to admit it, he knew that Amelia was saying the truth. Hearing the truth made his heart hurt.

The pain was so immense. It was akin to his heart being stabbed repeatedly with a dagger.

Because he was practically nothing to her, he had no right to get angry or voice out his dislike.

Maybe if he was Kayden he would have used the identity of him being her mate to interfere but with this identity of his, he couldn\'t even though he wanted to.

Slowly, he lowered himself back on the chair.

"There is no need to feel miserable just because she doesn\'t like you. You are a nice guy. A very loyal one at that. I am sure you will find someone who will love and cherish you…,"

"I don\'t want any other woman except her, only she," Amos interrupted.

Joanna was preoccupied trying to make the guy feel better and didn\'t know the chaos her single act had caused.

She exhaled deeply after making sure that the guy was ok.

"Be careful so you don\'t choke. You might not be lucky to meet such an angel like me the next time you choke on your food," Joanna said as she picked up the tray from the table.

Before she walked away she stole a glance at Amos. Too bad his head was lowered and didn\'t see her passionate eyes.

The new guy stayed at the cafe for thirty minutes. And as long as he was around Amos\' mood didn\'t get better the slightest bit.

When it reached the time for the guy to pay his bills, he started by searching his right trousers pocket.

His eyes widened in shock after he checked the two possible places his wallet should have been but were not there
