Bedding My Vampire Mate



"I kinda support what these two lovely people had said," Derrick said, his index finger pointing at Joanna and Raymond.

"Also we have less than a week to come up with something and perfect it. I don't think we have enough time to pick a song, singers, dancers and go through a series of rehearsals to perfect it," Derrick went into more details so he won't be accused of being biased, although he wasn't the type to care about that.

"We have given our opinion which I won't say is perfect. If you have a contrary opinion do let us know so we can conclude this," Raymond opens the floor for questions and contrary opinions.

"My friend told me their group is doing a singing performance and I also overheard a guy from another team saying that their team was also doing a singing and dancing performance. I agree with Raymond that we should do something else," A girl in baggy blue jeans said after she was permitted to speak.

"If that is the case then I am not wrong to scrape this out of our list of performances right?" Raymond addressed them.

"Yes," they chorused.

A sweet smile crept onto Raymond's face when he heard that they were on the same page with him.

"So, any other ideas or suggestions?" Raymond asked.

Almost immediately a girl wearing big round earrings raced her hand.

"Yes, go on," Raymond and Joanna chorused.

Raymond spent over an hour listening to everyone bring up ideas and suggestions.

Despite spending such a long time with them, none came up with any ideas that caught their interest.

He had to wrap things up and made the crowd dispersed when his Manager called to inform him that he was waiting for the two of them outside.

Joanna was worried about their futile first general meeting so she waited for them as they get changed.

While pretending to escort them to where their car was parked Joanna seized the opportunity to discuss with them about their next plan.

"Right now we are one day short of the days we have until the carnival. What are we gonna do now especially since we haven't been able to come up with at least one idea?" Joanna voiced out her worries as she tried to maintain the same pace as them.

"Our fate was already determined from the beginning so there is no need to beat yourself over this. Besides it was already obvious we won't be able to come up with anything with the remaining days we have...,"

"Derrick, it's true we started our preparation a bit late but I still believe we can still come up with something...,"

"Point of correction Miss Butterfly," Derrick addressed her like Raymond was fond of doing.

"We didn't commence our preparation a bit late... but very late. It shouldn't come as a surprise if we are unable to come up with anything within the remaining days we have," Derrick stated their reality even though he knew he shouldn't.

"You both have your point but I agree with Joanna about being able to come up with something unique even though we are pressed for time," Raymond turned and smiled at the worried Joanna.

"Don't worry we will be able to come up with something. I trust you... And this guy over here and I will try to come up with something also, so chill hmm...,"

"You are the one who changed your mind at the last minute about taking part in the carnival so why are you dragging me into this?" Derrick complained.

Raymond paused just in front of the black van whose door his driver had opened and waited for them to hop in.I think you should take a look at

"I really would love to discuss more with you but unfortunately I need to go now," Raymond started.

"Nonetheless, you can contact me if you need help or have something to discuss with me...,"

"Anyone who listens to you will think you are in charge of your phone...,"

"And am I not?" Raymond cut in, his cautionary glares shot at Derrick.

"Ok, I will try my best not to call often...,"

"But why do I have this feeling that the exact opposite of what you said is what you will do?" Derrick interrupted. 

Having guessed what Raymond would do next if he remained there, the smart Derrick hopped into the open van.

After they finished talking Raymond hopped into the van although with great reluctance.

It was rare for him to have time to spare for himself and that is why he couldn't help but wish he wasn't always so busy.

Joanna went to get Audrey after she parted ways with Raymond and Derrick. She had to leave without Audrey when she saw that her group were in the middle of rehearsals.

Because she had no classes that day apart from the meeting earlier Joanna headed straight to the cafe.

At the cafe, Joanna went about her work as she always does. Mrs Parker who has been paying special attention to her ever since she arrived at the cafe noticed after a while that something was off about her.

When the cafe was less busy she walked up to the counter and sat at the spare seat close to the wall.

"I noticed you looked less heartbroken from the last time we met... instead you resemble a woman who is thinking of ideas to pay off her husband's gambling debt," Mrs Parker said to the lady who was obviously zoning out.

"Is it that bad?" Joanna, whom Mrs Parker's touch jolted back to reality, quizzed as she stroked her face with her right hand.

"Hmm..," Mrs Parker shook her head affirmatively. "It's that bad," She added.

"So do you mind telling me what is wrong? Who knows I might be able to help you out," Mrs Parker was too impatient to wait for Joanna to ask for help so she made her an offer instead.

"It's related to the upcoming carnival. I don't really think you can help me...,"
