Bedding My Vampire Mate

Reaching there Joanna met Kyle smiling sweetly at the lady sitting beside him.

The two people sharing a table were so distracted that they didn\'t notice her presence on time.

[Why does she look so much like Drey?... And her scent to is just like Dreys]

Joanna took a careful look at the lady whose face she couldn\'t see because of the way she sat.

"Drey?" Joanna called, her focus settled on the lady\'s sideline.

At the sound of Joanna\'s voice, Kyle jumped to his feet like someone who was electrocuted. His eyes wavered the instant he set eyes on Joanna\'s face.

"M-miss J... Joanna!" Kyle stuttered.

Because his entire being gave away his fears even though Joanna wouldn\'t have suspected anything, his actions confirmed her doubts.

"So the scent I perceived belonged to you all along and here I thought I got it all wrong," Joanna muttered, her gaze glued on the lady who still hasn\'t turned to look at her.

"Was this the reason you stayed away from home for days?" Joanna questioned.

"I can\'t believe how foolish I was to trust your words when you said the reason you didn\'t return to the apartment many nights was that you wanted to give Amos and me some space...,"

"Anna, you are misunderstanding something here...,"

"But you are here when I have been searching everywhere for you," Joanna interrupted sternly.

"Because I was worried about you and wanted to give you a surprise I went to your parent\'s home to see you. But guess what?... I got shocked instead when your Mum said you haven\'t been at home ever since you returned from your trip," Joanna expressed emotionally.

"Anna....,"

"Despite being kept in the dark I ended up lying to cover up for you when your Mum suspected that everything was not alright".

"Miss Joanna, it\'s true that Audrey and I have been spending time together but I promise you that we haven\'t done something we should be ashamed of...,"

"If you haven\'t done something you should be ashamed of then tell me why you had to lie to me, Audrey?" Joanna was more focused on Audrey to care about Kyle and his explanation.

"Did I ever forbid you from getting into a relationship or did you tell me a secret and I broadcast it huh?" Joanna demanded coldly. Her angry voice attracted the attention of those around her.

"Anna, I know you have been an excellent friend no doubt and it was my fault for not telling you about this but calm down ok?" Audrey said.

She reached out her hand and held Joanna\'s shoulders.

"You are beginning to cause a scene here and it\'s not...,"

"I guess I must have lost my mind worrying about my best friend\'s well-being that is why," Joanna muttered. She brushed off Joanna\'s hand from her shoulder.

"At the time I needed my friend to talk to, she wasn\'t there. Despite what I was going through I was still worried about her. I must be stupid...,"please visit

"Did something happen while I was away?" Audrey, who didn\'t show any concern or remorse earlier, asked with worries written all over her face.

"Did your Grandma or stepmother bully you? Where does it hurt?" Audrey spun Joanna around and searched for any signs of injuries.

"Don\'t worry, I am not as weak as I was in the past. I can protect myself now. At least you won\'t have to worry about always running to my help. You can disappear for as long as you want without any worries...,"

"Joanna!" Audrey yelled in displeasure but Joanna was too upset to care about this.

"Actually, I didn\'t come here because of you. I came to see Kyle because I had something to ask him. But now, I don\'t think I will be able to do that...,"

"Miss Joanna, please don\'t be like this...,"

"If I had disturbed you in any way I apologise. I am sorry... and I will take my leave now," Joanna said and turned to leave but Audrey grabbed her hand before she could take a step forward.

"Anna, stop being unreasonable and let me explain...,\'

"Did you think you are the only one who can be unreasonable when angry?" Joanna scoffed. She brushed Audrey\'s hand away.

"I can too but I just never did it. That is how much I love and cherished our friendship," Joanna expressed angrily.

She turned and walked away. As she strolled away, she didn\'t give a damn about the numerous eyes following her.

"Are you just going to let her go? Won\'t you run after her?" Kyle asked the lady who only stared at Joanna\'s back but made no move of running after her.

"Running after her is of no use. In her current state, she won\'t give me the chance to explain and even though I managed to talk she will not believe a word I say. I should let her cool off first before I try talking to her," Audrey said carefreely.

Although she tried to act cool about what happened, her fallen expression showed just how affected she was.

[The silly girl looked furious. I wonder what I am gonna say or do to get her to talk to me again]

Audrey stretched her hand and picked up the glass of strong liquor laid in front of her. She gulped down the content in one go.

With Audrey acting this way Kyle was lost at what to do. In the end, he chose to trust what Audrey said since he believed no one knew Joanna better than she did.

Outside the club, Joanna walked in quick paces without looking behind her. She was so furious that she didn\'t pay attention to her surroundings.

"How dare she ghost me for days only to spend time with him?" Joanna spat out.

She halted, turned and glared at the club which was some distance from where she stood.

"Did I ever forbid her from falling in love or having a boyfriend?" She seethed, her fist clasped.

"I don\'t recall ever saying that so why did she keep her relationship with him a secret? She chose to act like a thief when she could publicly brag about him," Joanna retorted.
