Bedding My Vampire Mate

Amos pulled backwards without answering her questions. The hesitant look on his face made Joanna wonder where he ran off only to show up by this time.

"Were you running away from me again…,"

"Of course not," He blurted without thinking. He composed himself afterwards.

"Something important came up and I had no choice but to leave," He said softly.

"Something important, like what?" Joanna asked while looking at the guy whose gaze was concentrating on the ground instead of her.

"What is it?... You stood me up the entire day because of something important, don\'t I have the right to know what it is that made you forget about me?" Joanna questioned.

She got so carried away and let out a secret she shouldn\'t have revealed. When she realised what she had said, it was already too late.

"Do you mean you waited for me at the cafe all this while?" Amos asked with widened eyes. "What about your classes?" asked Amos while peering at her face.

This time around she was the one gazing down instead of looking at his face.

"How could you be so stupid…,"

"I indeed skipped classes today but I had my reason for doing that so don\'t you dare jump to conclusions and think you are the reason I skipped classes," Joanna said as she resumed walking.

Unlike her lifeless expression before he showed up, at the moment her face was practically glowing.

What was remaining was that radiating smile she was trying so hard not to reveal.

"I never said anything," Amos replied as he hurried after her. He ran past a few others on the street before he finally caught up to her.

"From how you are acting I believe I am the reason you skipped classes today…,"

"Your wish," Joanna remarked. Her quickened footsteps made her look suspicious. Amos couldn\'t resist smiling as he tried to catch up to her.

When he caught up to her again he grabbed her hand and pulled her onto himself.

Passers-by were too busy minding their own businesses to care about the two shameless people who were acting so affectionately in public.

And Amos and Joanna were too thick-skinned to care about what others thought of them.

"Joan, why is it always very hard for you to admit it whenever I am the cause of your actions huh?" Amos demanded while staring into her twinkling purple orbs.

"If I missed you, I wouldn\'t hesitate to say it even in the presence of a thousand people. And when I am jealous I won\'t hold back from telling you but why is it very hard for you to do the same with me?" He questioned. He removed his right hand from the back of her neck and brought it to her face.

Still looking into her eyeballs he stroked her tender skin.

His mere touch was enough to get Joanna\'s momentarily tamed heart excited.

At that moment nothing mattered to the two individuals. Not the starry night, sweet melodic music played by the music band not far away from where they stood or the voices of the passers-by.

All that mattered to them was each other\'s voice, face and every expression of the other person.

"Why do you tend to hide your true feelings…,"

"That is all in the past," Joanna cut in, trying to pull away from him. But he didn\'t let go. Instead, his hand around her waist became firmer.

"All in the past?" He asked, his eyebrows squinted as he kept on peering at her face. "What does that mean?" He continued, his gaze not moving away from her face for a split second.

"I meant that you are talking about the Amos in the past and not the current you," Joanna replied with her head hanging in the air.

Her pouted lips almost made Amos crack up had he not controlled himself.

"Ooh…," Amos exclaimed. His grasp around her slender waist loosened.

"In the past, you were all over me. You wouldn\'t leave my sight even though I asked you to but everything changed after you got yourself another woman," Joanna said. She walked two steps forward and turned her back to him.

"You are always around her. She is all you see. It has become very hard for me to talk to you. I am afraid you might even forget what my voice sounds like if this continues," Joanna subconsciously bare out her heart to him without even knowing about it.

Amos\' face lit up after hearing her heartfelt words.

[She is affected by my closeness to Amelia… and here I thought she wouldn\'t bat an eyelid even though I was to kiss Amelia in front of her. I was wrong all along!]

Amos\' smile broadened. He was lost in his thoughts and didn\'t see Joanna spinning and looking at him when he didn\'t say anything.

[If she is affected by Amelia, then does that mean she is jealous?...]

Joanna snapped a finger at the smiling guy\'s face thereby putting an abrupt end to his thoughts.

"Why are you smiling? What part of what I said was funny?" Joanna asked, frowning.

"The part where I smelled jealousy all over you," he replied, grinning.

"I am jealous of her?" She scowled with her chin held high.

"I am more real, prettier and I bet more intelligent than her so why would I be jealous of her?" Joanna retorted, dusting off her shoulder with swag.

"You must be talking about another person right?" Joanna added.

"I was doubting whether my guess was right but after hearing all you said I am convinced you are jealous of her…,"

"I can see you are all out to annoy me so I better take my leave," Joanna interrupted. She swirled and tried to walk away but he reached out his hand and held her.

He waited for her to turn and spare him a glance before he started talking. "Actually Amelia is my…," Amos was suddenly pushed away from Joanna without getting to reveal a secret Joanna didn\'t know.

"How dare you…," Joanna\'s mouth dropped wide open on turning around to see that the one who used violence on Amos was none other than Audrey.

"Audrey!" Joanna and Amos chorused as they exchanged puzzled glances.
