Bedding My Vampire Mate



"Not really but I overheard Eva disclosing her displeasure of being in the same group as you...,"

"That annoying girl is in my group!" Joanna remarked with widened eyeballs.

"Not only that but I think Sophie and a few other people you had gotten into a fight with happen to be in your group," Audrey broke the news to her.

She wasn't surprised to see that the excitement in Joanna's eyes was gone. Even she would have felt the same way if she were in her friend's shoes.

Being paired with an enemy can be very annoying. She has been there before and that was why she kinda understood Joanna's plights.

"I guess my plans of doing an excellent job with those girls in my group is not possible...,"

"Not necessarily," Audrey replied.

The glints in her eyes pinged Joanna's interest. She couldn't help but want to know what Audrey was hiding from her.

"Why did you say that when you clearly know there is no way those girls and I would get along? I am certain they wouldn't hesitate to ruin the entire carnival just to get back at me for what...,"

"Wait until you see the names of the two guys who happen to be in your group then you will realise that your worries were irrelevant," Audrey grinned and peered out of the window.

"What two guys are you talking about?" Joanna demanded, her gaze centred on Audrey's sideline.

"Do I know them?" Joanna asked a bit more curiously this time around.

Kyle, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb stole a glimpse of the lady's face through the rear mirror.

[Does the guy they mentioned have something to do with the King?... Is that perhaps the reason that Audrey refused to tell her who it is?]

Kyle looked away from the rear mirror when he noticed that Joanna was about to turn around.

"You know you shouldn't have said anything about them if you had no intentions of telling me who they were?" Joanna frowned and moved away from Audrey.

But not even her tantrums made Audrey change her mind about making her find out things for herself.

The journey from then on became less livelier but it wasn't suffocating; they soon reached campus after their argument.

After they came out of the car, Audrey didn't hurry to catch up with Joanna but waited to talk with Kyle.

"Anna and I have another appointment after we are done here so there is no need to wait for us...,"

"But...,"

"Believe me, I won't have stopped you from coming along if I had a choice," Audrey cut in abruptly.

"If I end up being free in the evening I promise to drop by at the club but if I am not, I will make it up to you some other day hmm?" Audrey smiled at him.

Despite not liking the arrangement Kyle smiled back at her.

"I know your friendship with Miss Joanna is something no one can come in between so I won't try to make things hard for you," Kyle gave in to what she wanted.

"You can spend as much time as you want with your Girl as long as you don't neglect me," Kyle raised his hand and patted her hair.

He was stunned when she didn't avoid his hand like she often does when they started hanging out.

"These are one of those days when I especially adore you," Audrey beamed.

She stretched a bit and pecked his cheek despite that there were so many students around.

"See you later," She waved at him and hurried to catch up to Joanna whom she had lost sight of.

After she left Kyle, Audrey didn't have trouble finding Joanna. She caught up to her when she was climbing the stairs leading to the front of a tall grey building.

"Are you still mad at me?" Audrey asked. She wasn't surprised to see Joanna pause and tilted her head so they were staring into each other's eyes.

"Me?" Joanna pointed at herself as if there was someone there beside her and Audrey.

"And why on Earth would I be mad at you?" Joanna added when Audrey only stared at her with suspicious glances without uttering a word.

"You know what I am talking about," Audrey accused. She grabbed the right hand of the lady who tried to walk out on her.

"Your expression says all...,"

"Didn't you say we are almost late so I wonder why we are still here talking instead of going in to join the others," Joanna was smart enough to change the topic since she didn't want to admit to Audrey that she was mad.

"Let's go now," Joanna urged her and resumed climbing the stairs.

"We can talk while walking...,"

"Didn't I tell you that each group has a separate meeting place?" Audrey asked, her gaze glued on the back of the lady whose position was about four steps away from her.

"You never said that," Joanna blurted. She swivelled and looked in Audrey's direction.

"Each group have separate places for holding their meetings. My group happens to be holding their meeting here...,"

"And what about mine?" Joanna cut in sharply.

"I overheard your group members saying that their meeting point is at the swimming pool arena," Audrey replied, her index finger pointed at a white building across the basketball field.

"Hey, why didn't you say that sooner?" Joanna half-yelled when she saw the distance she would have to cover before she got to the swimming pool arena.

"I am sorry...," Joanna had already raced towards the direction Audrey pointed at some second ago.

"Wasn't she the same lady who said she had no interest in participating in the carnival?" Audrey thought aloud, her eyeballs focused on the back of the lady whom the gap between them had widened significantly.

[Why do I feel like all her running will be in vain especially when she realises the guy I mentioned wasn't who she expected he was]

At that moment Audrey kinda felt awful for not spilling the truth earlier when Joanna asked.
