Bedding My Vampire Mate

"What!" Joanna's eyes widened in shock hearing Mrs Parker's question.

"I just asked you whether he is your boyfriend and not whether you had sex so why are you overreacting?" Mrs Parker asked, staring at Joanna's widened eyes.

"You know normally I am not the gossipy type but I couldn't help but notice that his gaze has been following you wherever you go ever since he arrived," Mrs Parker explained.

Mrs Parker brought back her attention to Joanna. "He seems to have fallen head over heels for you and can't take his eyes off you that is why I asked…," Mrs Parker trailed.

"Forget it if he is not your boyfriend. He happens to be my cousin's type of guy, I will go ahead to ask him out for her…,"

"What!" Joanna yelled once again. Her loud voice caught the attention of the customers who turned to look in their direction.

"Didn't you say he is not your boyfriend so why are you reacting this way? Do you perhaps have a secret crush on him…,"

"What… what…what are you saying?" Joanna stammered, unable to control her emotions.

"I am only reacting this way because I am trying to look out for you and your cousin," Joanna said, trying her best to compose herself.

She didn't know that Kayden was listening to everything they said.

"And why did you say that?" Mrs Parker asked curiously. She waited for Joanna to satisfy her curiosity.

"You don't even know him, where he comes from or the type of person he is and you want to arrange a date with him and your cousin? What if he turned out to be a bad person, a womanizer or even a killer…," Joanna trailed to make sure that Mrs Parker followed everything she said.

Hearing what she was spewing from her mouth about Kayden, Joanna couldn't help but think she was the most pathetic girl in the world at the moment.

"He…,"

"There is no need for you to worry about that. As long as he loves and treats my cousin very well then nothing else is important," Mrs Parker said, her gaze centred on Joanna's face to see what her reaction would be.

She could see disappointment in the young girl's eyes.

"But…,"

"The customer over there wants to place an order, stop saying silly things and go to attend to him," Mrs Parker didn't let the frowning Joanna speak further.

Joanna reluctantly left to attend to the customer in a gold colour suit.

[I asked such a simple question but she couldn't give me a definite answer. She didn't admit or object to what I said]

Mrs Parker stared at the lady who was trying to get the customer's order.

"I can see that she is still in the denial stage so why don't I add some spice to help the silly girl before her man is taken away from her?" Mrs Parker grinned evilly, her gaze focused on Joanna coming in her direction.

"He and his girlfriend want a cup of coffee, cappuccino and beef sandwich," Joanna stated the order.

"Prepare the order by yourself, let me go and answer the guy who has been staring at you. It seems like he wants something. I will try to use this opportunity to talk to him about my cousin" Mrs Parker said as she tried to come out from where she stood.

"No… no, no," Joanna yelled while swinging her hand in the air. Everyone raised their gaze and stared at her.

She tried to compose herself when she realised that she had unnecessarily garnered too much attention.

"You don't have to worry, I have got this," Joanna said, faking a smile at Mrs Parker.

"But what about the other person's ord…," Joanna had already hurried away before Mrs Parker could finish her word.

"Hehe… she is one funny girl," Mrs Parker couldn't resist laughing when she saw how quickly Joanna walked to Kayden's table.

Leah after serving the orders to the customers returned to the counter.

"Mrs Parker, what is wrong with Joanna? She is acting strangely today," Leah, now looking at Joanna, said curiously.

"Why don't you ask her? Who knows she might be kind enough to tell you the truth since you both are close," Mrs Parker said as she shifted her attention away from Joanna's direction.

Back at Kayden's table, Joanna stood making sure to keep a gap between them. "How may I help you, Mister?" Joanna said smiling.

Her smile looked so fake that one could easily see that she was trying to hide her annoyance with the smile.

"I was hoping to talk to your Madam but why is it that you are the one who answered instead?" Kayden asked, acting like he didn't see how annoyed she was.

To tease her more he lifted his hand and touched her. "Young Miss, I have been noticing that you keep throwing flirtatious glances at me. Is it because you like me or…,"

"If you plan to get my blood pressure high then I am sorry to disappoint you," Joanna said, turning to leave.

She didn't get the opportunity to walk away because Kayden stood up and held her hand properly.

"I haven't finished what I was trying to say so be a little patient," Kayden said softly.

Joanna composed herself when she realised that she had again garnered others' attention to herself.

"I was hoping I could get to talk to your Madam about my desire to work here. It doesn't matter whether the pay is little because I have got the money. All I want is to spend time with the one I love," Kayden said, giving her his most enchanting smile.

Looking at his enchanting smile Joanna could feel her anger dissipate.

[This is why I said his species is bad for my system. He keeps flirting with me and I have no way to get away from this]

Joanna was lost in thought as she stared at his bewitching smiles that lured her in without her realising it.

"Joanna, are you gonna stand there all day staring at him? Don't you have plans of attending to other customers besides him today?" Mrs Parker deliberately shouted for others to hear.

"I know my beauty is more enchanting than the spell of an enchantress and my smile more intoxicating than opium and I would love to see you stare at me with those lovely eyes all day but unfortunately your Madam is calling you," Kayden said gently touching her face.

Seeing her look so startled after jolting back to reality made everyone laugh.

"See what you have done?" Joanna whispered when she saw how everyone was laughing at her.

"Wait and see how I will deal with you later…,"

"I will be waiting sweetheart and I wish that later will come sooner than I expect," Kayden said grinning.

He watched as she hurried away with her head lowered.
