Bedding My Vampire Mate



"Apart from the sadness in your eyes, I can see that you are having a hard time maintaining your fake smile...,"

"You know nothing about me so will you stop being presumptuous?" Laura lost her cool and yelled at Joanna.

"Laura...,"

"Also stop acting like we are close because that is something that will not happen in this lifetime," Laura snapped and tried to walk away but Joanna grabbed her hand and pulled her back to her previous spot.

"I feel bad I didn't get a gift for you and I want to make it up to you...,"

"I know you hate me and I equally despised you so there is no need to put on an act...,"

"That is why I have prepared a surprise for you," Joanna cut in. 

Because of her soft tone and gentle look, those around her believed Laura was being mean to Joanna as always.

What they didn't know was that Laura's fears and hostility were justified.

"What surprise are you talking about?" Laura raised an eyebrow. She became warier of Joanna after her statement.

"It's a surprise like no other. One that you will remember for a very long time so look forward to it because you will not be disappointed," Joanna smirked. 

She let go of Laura's hand and strolled away in the same manner she came before Laura had the opportunity to question her more.

"What the hell is that evil witch planning this time around?... I hope she isn't planning to poison all my guests out of jealousy?" Laura mumbled.

The thought of relaying her discussion with Joanna to get her mother and grandmother crossed her mind.

But when she remembered how things could get out of hand if her mother and grandmother intervened made Laura change her mind.

"Maybe I am just being too sensitive. No matter how gutsy she is, I believe she won't be so stupid to cause a scene here. I mean her reputation would be at stake here," With this statement, Laura assured herself that Joanna was just bluffing.

Despite her uneasiness, Laura composed herself and moved to join her friends at their table once again.

Five minutes later, Joanna was seen leaning against a table close to a guy whom she noticed had no company since she arrived at the party.

"Aren't you bored standing here all alone when your rightful position should be beside her?" Joanna spoke to the guy whose attention was on someone else.

Her statement jolted the guy in the black suit back to reality. Immediately he pretended as if nothing was wrong.

"I don't have anything to say to you, so keep your distance," he hissed and tried to walk away.

"What if I say I have a way to make you go close to her without getting her or yourself into trouble?" Joanna whispered.

The corners of her lips curled up to reveal a sinister smile when she saw him pause in his tracks.

Her offer was way too juicy for anyone in the guy's position to reject. She was well aware of this and that was the exact reason she threw the bait.

The guy who was Joanna's target turned around and glanced at her face. "What do you mean?" He quizzed, not knowing that he has just fallen into Joanna's traps.

"Because of her mother's disapproval and hatred, you couldn't go close to her, not to mention deliver your sincere wishes and gifts to her...," Joanna paused to make sure he was following what she said.

She smiled inwardly when she saw him rub his trousers pocket at the mention of the gift.

"What if I tell you right now that I can help you get close to her; close to her enough to say and do whatever is on your mind with her...,"

"I was never nice to you, so why on Earth would you help me huh?" The guy interrupted her sharply.

Joanna wasn't the least surprised that he didn't believe her. She has expected this much when she decided to approach him and won't lose this opportunity for this reason.

"Laura should be the happiest girl in this hall but it's obvious that isn't the case right now. It hurts me to see her try so hard to maintain her fake smile. I know that she wouldn't have to try so hard to be happy if she talks to you," Joanna muttered.

The tenderness in her voice and eyes was capable of melting the iciest heart on Earth and that is because she puts in her best.

"You are right about that," The guy agreed absentmindedly.

Joanna moved closer and whispered, "There is gonna be a blackout and it's gonna last for three minutes. I am sure three minutes is enough for you to do whatever you want with her whether it be handing over your gifts or running away from the party with her. Am I right?" she questioned.

"You..," 

"I have already told Laura about the surprise and she is looking forward to it," Joanna interrupted. She didn't give him the chance to turn down her offer.

"Really?" The guy asked.

"You and your friends might have been mean to me in the past but that is all history. It's obvious we are gonna become a family in the future and that is what matters," Joanna said just to put the guy's mind at peace.

"You are...,"

"You can thank me later but for now I will advise that you take out some time to think about what you will do with this opportunity I will give you," Joanna said. She tapped his right shoulder and beamed at him.

"Good luck," She murmured and walked away.

She didn't walk far away from where the guy stood when someone jumped out of nowhere and blocked her path.

"Hey, why did you do that?" Joanna scolded, acting as if she was startled by Audrey's reaction.

"I came closer because I wanted to know what you talked about with Laura's boyfriend. I don't know why but I couldn't hear what you both discussed no matter how hard I tried...,"

"And don't you know that it's a bad habit to eavesdrop on others' conversation?" Joanna reprimanded.
