Bedding My Vampire Mate

If there was one thing Amos and Anthony noticed about Joanna from the moment they left the cafe until this moment with all of them in the car.

It was the fact that she hasn't said a word nor did she pay them any attention.

"So little man, where do you want us to go or what do you want to eat?" Amos asked just to ease the tension in the car.

"I want to eat ice cream," Anthony shouted in excitement.

"If that is what you want then we will get it for you...,"

"You don't eat that kind of stuff so why do you always agree to whatever he wants?" Joanna spoke up for the first time since they entered the car.

"I may not eat it but I am aware you like this kind of thing...,"

"Aren't you worried that indulging us too much will do you no good? But instead, it will make us get accustomed to getting what we want," She said how she felt without sugarcoating her words.

Letting her and Anthony have their way was something she has noticed Amos do more than once.

She was used to not getting things easily ever since birth. She was afraid she would get used to his pampering and forget about who she is.

"That is not a problem. Also, I derived joy from all these...,"

"But I am not ok with it. If you ever dislike something then always make it known to me because sometimes I wouldn't be able to guess how you feel or know what you really want," Joanna expressed herself meekly.

"I am not a seer nor a god to know your thoughts or how you feel at all times," She added.

Amos changed from handling the steering with two hands to only his left hand.

"If that is what you want then that is what I will do from now on but you are not allowed to complain that I am unreasonable or annoying ok?" He beamed at her.

"I won't," She replied and smiled back at him.

Anthony smiled along with them when he noticed that Joanna and Amos were all right now.

"So are we going to eat ice cream?" Anthony asked before the air of excitement could die off.

"Since your brother Amos can't eat ice cream with us, we are not only going to eat ice cream but we are gonna tour him around the Kingdom today," Joanna beamed.

"He might be the King but I am sure that he hasn't beheld the beauty of this great Kingdom so we will show him just how beautiful and prosperous his kingdom is," She grinned as she gave a gentle squeeze to his hand.

"I can't wait," Amos and Anthony chorused, each smiling.

Because of his status, Joanna had suggested they had ice cream in an expensive shop but Amos insisted they had the one from the street stand.

"I heard those are quite tasty too. Also, we don't have to act refined in a street stall compared to an expensive shop. So I think the street stall is better," This was his sentence before he and Anthony rushed out of the car and hastened to the ice cream stall not far away from where they parked their car.

Joanna came out of the car. She leaned against the car and watched the two smiling figures as they raced to the ice cream stand.

She recalled even as a child Kayden had to watch the manner he walked, acted, spoke and the friends he moved with.

He was a young master after all and so all these things were required of him.

She was certain Anthony would have been raised this way also if not that she had a sister of low birth who spoils him a lot.

Anthony was forced to be cheerful because of his relentless efforts to make the always bullied Joanna in the past happy.

"I wonder for how long he has dreamed of acting and behaving the way he wanted without having to worry about who is watching him," Joanna mumbled. She waved and smiled at the two beaming figures who were beckoning her to come closer.

"I am coming," Joanna shouted. She hastened to join the excited figures.

Getting to the stall Joanna chose the flavour she wanted. She was dumbfounded when the lady handed an ice cream to Amos when she gave them theirs.

"He doesn't have that and I am sure he didn't order it. Did you make a mistake?" Joanna asked the lady wearing an oversized long gown.

"Sorry, but I gave exactly what he asked for," The lady replied politely and went back to what she was doing.

Joanna tilted her head and gaze at the guy who was ruffling Anthony's hair.

"Did you ask for it?" She quizzed.

"Hmm...," He shook his head as he continued to tease the giggling Anthony.

"You don't eat it so why did you ask for it?" She demanded in a soft tone.

"You will know why I bought it soon," He muttered and winked naughtily at Anthony.

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you," She said and moved closer to them.

"I told you I would learn how to eat food as long as you feed me. Don't tell me you have forgotten so soon...,"

"We are in public so what are you talking about?" She scolded. She looked around her as if there was someone there who understood their coded words.

"Also, don't forget Little rice ball is here...,"

"I can close my eyes so I won't see anything," He interrupted. Anthony closed his eyes without waiting for Joanna's reply.

"What have you been whispering into his ears huh?" She demanded. She raised her hand to hit him but he moved backwards.

Joanna shifted her attention to the little boy still covering his eyes when she realised that Amos was out of her reach.

"And you, what do you think we are talking about hmm," She reprimanded. She pulled his cheek playfully.
