Bedding My Vampire Mate

Leah was busy daydreaming about the tall handsome dude approaching the counter to hear what Joanna said.

Before the guy with slightly long brown hair that stopped just beneath his shoulders could reach the counter Leah had already run out to attend to him.

"Welcome, handsome," Leah said beaming. Joanna could swear that she has never seen Leah smile so brightly at any other customer ever since she started working there.

Leah was busy trying to grab his attention to notice that the handsome guy's intense stares were centred on Joanna's face.

"Let me show you to your table," Leah said, immediately leading the way. The table she happened to choose was a table away from that of Amos and Amelia.

"So, what can I offer you, Handsome?" Leah asked after the guy had settled down. The smile never left her face as she looked at him.

Joanna, whose gaze was still on the handsome guy, flashed back to the day she met him.

Just then she recalled a secret that Leah doesn't know. Without wasting time she left the counter to the cashier and approached where Leah stood.

"If you don't have a specialty then you can choose from our list of menus over there," Leah said, pointing her finger at where their menu was displayed on the wall.

"Our desserts happen to be the best in the entire Kingdom so…,"

"I will attend to him," Joanna's cold voice disrupted Leah's words. The unhappy Leah turned and gave her a disapproving gaze. Unfortunately, Joanna ignored it.

"I will take his order so go and attend to other customers," Joanna ordered.

Leah who so much wanted to attend to her prince charming refused to budge. "He has a special condition so just do like I said ok?" Joanna stated seriously.

"But…," Joanna's murderous glares made Leah swallow back whatever she wanted to say.

Reluctantly, she moved away from the front of the table and gave way to Joanna.

Even though she had moved away Leah didn't leave as Joanna ordered. In fact, she never wanted to leave.

"Can I get my bills, please...," A customer called out? With this, Leah didn't have any choice but to leave.

"It's you again," Joanna said after Leah was gone.

What Joanna didn't know was that the guy sitting a table away from where she stood has been keenly watching her ever since she left the counter in a haste.

Amos clasped his fist the instant Joanna bent and brought her mouth close to the guy's cheek.

Anyone who saw this at first glance will assume that she was trying to peck the guy.

"I know you might have found my action strange. The truth is I did that because I didn't want her to know about your condition, I hope you don't blame me for acting without your permission right?" Joanna whispered.

She pulled away almost immediately to look at his face.

His bewildered look made Joanna wonder whether she said something wrong.

If only she knew that her sudden closeness was the reason the guy reacted the way he did.

"Wait here while I get you a writing pad and a pen," Joanna said. She turned and walked away before the guy could stop her.

"Look at him ogling at her even though this is their first meeting… His heart is throbbing, this is so annoying," Amos snarled, his fist remaining clasped.

"He is not blind so what were you expecting? No doubt her beauty is one that no man can resist," Amelia said, her gaze focused on his hand whose claws had started shooting out.

"Also, are you gonna loosened your fist only after your blood has spilt over the entire table," She asked, still looking at his bleeding hand.

"The wound is gonna heal up in a few seconds so there is no need to amplify," Amos replied, his gaze not moving away from the face of the guy he was glaring at.

His nonchalance as he spoke made Amelia a bit upset. Her sincerity was once again trampled underfoot by him.

Joanna came back to the guy with a pen and a notepad in her hand.

"Write down your orders," Joanna commanded. She dropped the things on the table and pushed them to his front.

She watched as he scribbled down words she couldn't see because of his left hand which was obstructing her vision.

After jotting down some words, the guy lifted the paper and gave it to her.

Assuming that what he wrote was his order Joanna lowered her gaze and looked at the notepad in her hand.

"I wasn't able to thank you properly last time I apologized… Also, I hope you are well?" Joanna smiled when she was done reading the guy's words.

[Although he is dumb, I must admit that he is kinda handsome and cute. Too bad I only have eyes for one man now or else…]

Joanna's smile broadened and her eyes danced at the thought of Amos.

Amos, whose gaze was on her radiating face, dug his claws into the same spot in which his wound had closed up barely a few seconds ago.

"I am fine," Joanna replied, still maintaining her beautiful smile.

If only she knew how furious and jealous Amos was, that the one she was smiling at wasn't him but another man.

"In fact, I couldn't be better than this… Also, you don't have to worry about not thanking me. I decided to help you and besides I am the one who left in a hurry so it isn't your fault," Joanna spoke as she handed the notepad over to him again.

"She looks so happy and can't seem to stop smiling. Tell me, what could they possibly be talking about because I couldn't understand a word she said," Amelia said to the frowning guy sitting by her side.

He had long lost focus the instant Joanna proceeded to the guy's table.

Seeing the guy hand over the white notepad to Joanna again made Amos grit his teeth.

"Such a bad flirt," He spat out the words. "How dare he try to seduce my woman?" He bellowed. His voice was a bit loud causing Amelia to fear that Joanna and the guy might hear him.

Amelia relaxed again, noticing that Joanna was way too busy to hear what he said.

"He hasn't said a word or done anything so how is he a bad flirt? And in what way is he trying to seduce her…," The words refused to flow the instant her eyes met with his murderous glares.
