Bedding My Vampire Mate

"I am asking in case I am the only one who finds it difficult to get rid of my feelings for her while others find it easy...,"

"Did you and her quarrel?" Mr Fin asked, not able to stand seeing his friend so heartbroken.

He knows Kayden to be a very confident person. And this was because Kayden was groomed to be this way ever since he learned to talk.

Back then none predicted he would become the King but since he was a young master from a prominent family he was trained to always be bold and confident in all situations.

His demeanour and aura as he grew showed how well he had imbibed this teaching.

There are only a few times he has seen Kayden lost at what to do and these occasions had something to do with Joanna.

[I guess this is what love does to a person]

Mr Fin was lost in thought as he kept his eyes glued on Amos.

"Stop staring at me and give me a reply already," Amos chided.

"Hmm...," Mr Fin trailed. He was an intelligent and wise man and as such it was rare to catch him off guard with a question.

Only questions on a few topics would catch him off guard. Love and relationships happen to be one of them since he hasn't been in a relationship.

"As you know I haven't been in a relationship before...,"

"Are you trying to say I asked the wrong person what is bothering me?" Amos raised an eyebrow.

"You didn't let me finish," Mr Fin defended himself.

"Although I haven't been in a relationship, I learned that love is not a feeling that you easily get rid of whenever you want...," Mr Fin paused to make sure that Amos followed the point he tried to make.

"Some people achieve this after years of attempts while others don't until the day they die. Trying to get over one's love is the reason there are so many miserable people in the world," Mr Fin went further to explain.

"What you are saying is that it's impossible for someone to just wake up one day and suddenly say they are not in love anymore right?" Amos twisted his question despite Mr Fin's reply being pretty straightforward.

"Of course. Love isn't a feeling you put to death or get over with overnight...,"

"Hahaha...," Amos burst out laughing to Mr's astonishment. Mr Fin's last statement was all he needed to put an end to his sadness.

"I knew she was lying," He added, still smiling.

"Are you alright? Do you need me to call Amelia to come over?" Mr Fin, who wasn't aware of what made him so excited, asked out of concern.

"I am perfectly right," Amos beamed as he made the ok sign at Mr Fin. "In fact, I don't think I have felt this good for the past days," He whispered, a sweet smile spread across his handsome face.

"Although I can't wrap my fingers around what excites you, I am happy to see that your mood has brightened up," Mr Fin replied meekly.

Mr Fin watched as Amos kept grinning at himself. He was genuinely happy to see him this way, that is why he didn't disturb him.

"Kay, your trip was supposed to have ended a few days ago but I heard you have no plans of returning to your rightful place...,"

"I told that blabbermouth Kyle not to mention a word about this to you but...,"

"He is worried about you and how you have left your throne vacant for a long time with no sign of going back to where you belong. You can't blame us for acting this way," Mr Fin defended Kyle even though he wasn't present at the moment.

"Kay, you know you can't....,"

"I know what you want to say and let me tell you that Chris and Kyle had already lectured me enough. I am certain my eardrums are gonna burst if you lectured me too," Amos interrupted while rubbing his ears.

"Just let me quietly spend the night here huh? I haven't gotten a wink of sleep for days if you may know," Amos confessed.

He lay on the couch and closed his eyes so he wouldn't have to answer Mr Fin's question.

"You know you can't sleep here. People will get suspicious of you if they see us together in private, especially after the rumour....,"

"I will leave early enough not to be seen. Are you satisfied now?" Amos who opened his eyes not long ago demanded, his eyeballs fixed on his friend's creased eyebrows.

Mr Fin still wanted to dwell on the topic but had to change his mind when Amos adjusted the way he laid so that his back faced him.

"I won't disturb you. Instead, I will make sure to wake you up when it's time so let's go to bed," Mr Fin proposed as he stood up from where he sat.

"Don't worry I won't steal your bed today. Instead, I will sleep on the couch tonight," Amos replied. He did not attempt to turn to look at Mr Fin as he spoke.

"That is not proper. Apart from the fact that I won't be spared from severe punishment if anyone learns about this, how can I let you sleep here when the bed is huge to contain the two of us?" Mr Fin insisted.

After a few more arguments, Amos had no choice but to do what Mr Fin wanted.

He slept on the enormous bed alongside Mr Fin.

When morning reached Amos left Mr Fin's apartment early just as he had promised. 

He wanted to stake out in front of Audrey's home to catch the ladies unawares but he had to postpone that when he recalled he had a meeting with his men.

Getting to their meeting point the first thing Amos noticed was the shortage in the number of his men.

"So where are the other three? Is it their break period?" Amos questioned. His eyes moved from one quiet individual to the other.
