Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 154 Kayden's Surprise... (1)

?As Joanna waited for a reply, her heartbeat doubled for some unknown reason.

She could feel her hands trembling repeatedly also.

For the second time, Joanna lifted her hand and pressed the doorbell with her index finger.

"If there is no response this time around then I promise I am gonna leave here. Besides I don't know why I am even here when the landlady and I were never close," Joanna mumbled.

She waited for about two minutes more. She was about to turn and leave when the door creaked open.

Joanna expected to see someone come out to answer her after the door opened slightly but surprisingly only a hand was stuck out of the door.

From the bulging veins on the person's hand Joanna recognised the hand to belong to a man.

"Take this and blindfold yourself," The guy's cool voice instructed, the black cloth swaying in his hand as he talked.

"Kay!" Joanna remarked with widened eyes.

When he asked her to come over to the landlady's apartment, she had imagined a lot of scenarios but never had she expected this turn of events.

"Why are you in the landlady's room huh?" Joanna asked. Her eyebrows furrowed as she held the door handle and pulled it.

Thank goodness Kayden had expected this much and grabbed the door handle from inside or else she would have pulled the door open fully.

"Can you wear the blindfold first?... I will tell you all about that later," Kayden said without diving into any explanation.

"But why should I wear the blindfold?...,"

"Didn't I tell you earlier that I have a surprise for you…,"

"And your surprise is in the landlady's room, why?" Joanna asked, sounding very irritated.

The way she kept on repeating and stressing the word LANDLADY showed that she had a very huge problem with that word.

"Joan, just trust me and put on the blindfolds hmm," Kayden's desperation showed in his tone.

Joanna lowered her gaze and looked at the black cloth in his hands. It took her a few minutes to decide what to do.

"Joan, are you still there?" Kayden asked when all he could sense was silence.

"Isn't it just to blindfold my eyes?" Joanna questioned, snatching the cloth from his outstretched hand.

"I will do it but… get ready to receive some beating from me if I end up realizing that you are messing with me," Joanna threatened.

Holding the cloth in front of her eyes, she took a long stare at the door before she finally wrapped the cloth around her eyes and knotted it at the back of her head.

The world around her turned dark the moment she closed her eyes.

"I have blindfolded my eyes, are you satisfied now?" Joanna demanded as she tried to feel her surrounding with her hands.

"Are you sure?" The nervous Kayden standing just a wall away asked not letting go of the door handle.

"I will count to three. If you don't open the door after my countdown then I will have to forget about your surprise," she said sternly.

She lifted her right hand in the air ready to start the countdown. "1…2…," He pushed the door open, not letting her complete her countdown.

Kayden's mouth dropped open at the sight he met. His eyes sparkled as he stared at the gorgeous lady wearing a black off-shoulder jumpsuit.

He could still vividly recall that this was the first outfit he chose at the boutique earlier.

He remembered the exact words the sales representative said when she gave a brief description of the outfit.

"That is a cold shoulder backless ruffles jumpsuit. It's among one of our latest collections," These were the sales representative's exact words.

"You look mouth-droppingly beautiful. Just perfect," Kayden, who was not wearing his disguise, complimented.

"Of course, I am aware of that… so will you get over with this so that I can remove this darn cloth from my eyes," Joanna spat out the words without hiding her feelings.

"Oh… Your beauty and charms almost made me forget about why we are here," Kayden said smiling.

He hastened to stand beside her. He held her right hand and led her into the house.

When they were both inside the house he pushed the door close with his extended right leg.

With her eyes closed, Joanna couldn't see what her environment looks like so she let him take the lead.

As they walked into the room, the first thing Joanna sensed about her environment was the sweet fragrance of different flowers.

The sweet fragrance was so strong and addicting that she couldn't resist stopping to take in a few sniffs to calm her nerves.

[Wow… It feels like I am in a flower garden. I can't wait to see what this is all about]

Joanna tilted her head to the right when their movement suddenly came to a halt.

"What is it? Are we here?" Joanna asked. She lifted her hand and tried to feel him but unfortunately, she couldn't touch him no matter how many times she tried.

Kayden standing about three steps in front of her takes a last look at the set-up he has put in his best to bring to life.

He was so confident earlier that she would love the surprise but now that she is here, he began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his choice of decorations.

[Will she love this?... What if she opens her eyes and doesn't find the decorations appealing?... Wouldn't that mean I got too ahead of myself]

Kayden was full of doubts as he looked at the well-decorated room.

"Kay, are you there?" Joanna called out. "Is it time to take the blindfolds off?".

Joanna took a step forward when she didn't receive any response.

She walked until she covered the distance between them.

Sensing that he was standing in front of her, she raised her hand and started feeling his body.

Just like that her hands moved upwards and stopped moving when they reached his face.

Joanna caressed his face with her hands, she frowned when she felt his creased eyebrows.

"What is wrong?" Joanna asked worriedly.

Kayden stared at the lady that looked sincerely worried about him.

He looked at her for two minutes before he finally arrived at a decision.

"Whatever will happen should happen, I won't hesitate anymore," Kayden muttered.

He lifted his hands and brought them to the back of her head where the knot was.

He gave a slight pull to the knot and it came off.

Joanna's eyes fluttered open.

"OMG!" Joanna remarked with widened eyes the instant she caught a glimpse of the large sitting room.
