Bedding My Vampire Mate

"We have got a mission to accomplish here so we can go back home so get your acts together. Because if you don't, I will be forced to do something drastic and I am sure you wouldn't like what I will do," Derrick threatened coldly.

"You wouldn't dare lay a finger on her...,"

"Try me and see then," Derrick retorted. He stomped towards the entrance located not very far away from there.

"He is crazy!" Raymond growled, his gaze glued on the direction Derrick went. "He must be joking if he thinks I will just stand and watch him do any harm to Miss Butterfly," He raved.

Just then fog started emitting from his right hand. He clenched his fists when he noticed this.

As this was taking place Joanna was still working at the cafe oblivious to what was going on.

At the cafe, Joanna was approaching a table with a cup of Ice Americano and a dessert when two figures from nowhere jumped and stood in front of her.

"What is...," Instantly Anthony grabbed her while Amos took the tray from her hand.

"I will take over from where," He beamed at her and turned to leave.

"What do you think you are trying to do?" Joanna questioned and tried to reach her hand and hold him but Anthony refused to let go.

It would have been easy for her to shove him aside and stop Amos but she didn't want to hurt the little boy in any way so she decided not to use force.

"Little rice ball, let go now. I need to stop him now," Joanna said and tried to shake him off but the boy whose eyes had changed held on tight.

Amos didn't take up to three steps away when someone appeared in front of him and grabbed the tray in his hand.

"Let go," Amelia said, her grip still firm on the tray Amos had refused to release.

"I want to help her...,"

"Of course, I know that. I am also aware that your intentions are good but do you know that this single act of yours will not only get the cafe shut down forever but that all of us might lose our lives if anyone learns that we had the guts to make you serve others?" Amelia asked.

It was as if she had read Joanna's mind.

"No one knows who I am and I doubt anyone will ever discover that so let me...,"

"What is wrong is wrong. It doesn't matter whether anyone knows about it or not," Amelia refused to yield to him.

"Let go or else you will ruin it," Amos muttered and pulled the tray towards him but Amelia still didn't let go.

"I would rather it spill and get ruined than let you serve anyone," Amelia said with a tone of finality.

They continue to fight over who will serve the order for a few minutes.

"If you want I can let her go home with you since her working hour is almost up but letting you serve the order is not an option," Amelia still maintained her stance.

While they fought over the tray the clever Leah prepared another batch of orders for the customers who were waiting to be served.

"You will let her leave a bit earlier?" Amos asked, his grip on the tray loosened.

"Yes. I am sure Auntie would have agreed if she was here," Amelia affirmed.

He finally released the tray after Amelia said the words he wanted to hear.

"I will take home her without any further ado since you are the one who told me to," Amos replied shamelessly. He spun and returned to where Joanna and Anthony stood.

"Amelia said we can go home earlier today so go and get changed so we can leave," Amos announced, his smile radiating as he gazed at her.

Joanna ignored what Amos said and gazed at where Amelia stood instead.

"It's true I said you should get off work earlier. I am scared he might get all of us into trouble if he remained here for even a minute more," Amelia forced a smile. With a beckon of the hand, she told Joanna to do what they wanted.

"You are such a troublemaker and I was expecting Little rice ball to be the one to do this," Joanna said and brought her attention back to him.

"See, even Amelia is scared of you. I wonder who else you will scare again today...,"

"It doesn't matter if I scare everyone away. As long as you are happy then I am satisfied," He smiled at her. And Anthony imitated him also.

"Troublemakers," She muttered and walked away. Amos watched her approach the counter.

"Are you mad at us?" He asked, his gaze centred on her.

"I want to get changed so we can leave. You both should wait for me in the car," She said and waved her hand in the air without turning to look at them.

They watched Joanna until she entered the room located on the right-hand side of the counter.

Anthony turned and peered at Amos' face after Joanna was gone. "Do you think Big Sis is mad at us?" He asked with a worried expression.

"I don't know," Amos shrugged. "But I am here to protect you no matter how things turn out to be. I will take all the blows for you, don't worry," Amos tapped his shoulder and signalled him to raise it high.

The two of them returned to their table and waited for Joanna.

Joanna was surprised when she returned from the changing room and met them sitting at their table gazing at the counter.

"They are both so stubborn. I wonder how I am gonna manage them now that they have become a team," Joanna mumbled.

She bade Leah and Amelia goodbye and moved to their table.

"Let's go," Joanna announced and led the way.
