Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 305 Someone Special

?"Yeah," Joanna responded. As she walked to the couch she stole a glance at Derrick to see what he was doing.

She was so relieved to see that he was only admiring the decorations with his eyes and didn't touch anything.

"Does that mean that you are well enough to follow us and have fun…,"

"Don't you have anything better to do other than have fun? And why do you want to drag a sick person along with you?" Raymond asked. He used this opportunity to sit beside Joanna.

Derrick looked away from the butterfly portrait he was admiring. He strolled to the centre table.

"What's the use of living a boring life when you can have fun to the fullest?" Derrick asked. He sat down on the couch opposite Joanna's.

"Also, I am sure she must be bored having to spend an entire day confined by these walls all alone…,"

"Can you guys not argue hmm?" Joanna intervened. Her eyes moved from one frowning face to the other.

"I get a headache any time there is an argument especially if I am not the one partaking in the argument..,"

"I love arguing and I have never lost an argument before. You can bring up a topic and let's argue. That way you won't have a headache," Derrick said carefreely.

"Hehehe… you are one funny guy, do you know that?" Joanna laughed at the guy's joke.

Derrick smiled and crossed his long legs. "You are the first person to find me funny. Others find me annoying including the one sitting by your side," Derrick said, glaring at Raymond.

"Honestly, I kinda felt the same way some minutes ago but not anymore. You are simple, it's the kind of lifestyle I dreamt of in the past but unfortunately wasn't able to ever experience it," Joanna said emotionally.

Yeah, her dreams were very simple in the past. All she wanted was to live a life where she won't have to worry about food, clothes or shelter. A life where she will be accepted for what she is.

As simple as her dream was she never got to actualise it. She was killed and her dreams were sheltered before she made the dream become reality.

Now she has a new dream and that is never to be weak again. Her dream is not only to live happily with the ones she loves but to make sure she protects everything and everyone she cares about including herself.

This dream is not that difficult too but with her powers gone she doubts whether this won't become a failed dream too.

"You think I am simply because I talk a lot?" Derrick asked. He exchanged secret glances with Raymond.

"Also, you said your dream was to live a simple lifestyle. Does this mean that is no longer your dream?" Derrick changed his question.

Joanna readjusted well on the couch. She sat with her back leaning against the couch.

[If I want to be someone worth sitting by his side, how could I have such simple dreams? Only the naive Joanna in the past would have such dreams]

She played with her nails as she raised her gaze to look him in the eye.

"Yeah. Who would opt for the least when he can aim for the best?" Joanna jokes.

"You have a point there," Raymond replied, not allowing Derrick to ruin things for him.

"If you are looking for the best then I think Ray is the best option," Derrick chimed in. Raymond shot him a murderous glare but Derrick acted like he didn't see it.

"Don't underestimate him because he is not driving a car. The truth is he is filthy rich. He has different endorsement deals with popular brands. Apart from that, he has won two gold medals in the Olympics…," Derrick said while pointing his finger at Raymond.

"With his riches, even his third and fourth generation will never be poor. Your future will be the brightest if you choose him, so what do you say?" Derrick was shameless with his introduction.

"Rick, what the hell is wrong with you…,"

"I am trying to get you a girlfriend, are you not happy with that?" Derrick cut in, pretending not to know what he did wrong.

"Do you know that you look like someone I know?" Joanna asked, smiling. Raymond was so glad to see that she was not offended by Derrick's straightforwardness.

"Really?" Derrick replied with a glint in his eyes. "Who is that?".

"Someone very close to me," She replied, grinning. "The only difference between the two of you is that he is fun of selling himself to me while you are doing that but for your friend?".

Her smile broadened when she recalled the numerous times Kayden sold himself to her.

"Seeing how you are grinning from ear to ear, I guess he is someone special right?" Derrick asked, his gaze focused on the lady whom he was certain had forgotten that they were there.

"Yes, he is very special to me," She responded absentmindedly. It was after she finished talking that she realised what she had said.

"What were we talking about again?" She said when she had managed to compose herself.

"Your very special man…,"

"Rick, don't be rude," Raymond interrupted abruptly.

The room went dead silent after Raymond admonished Derrick. For fear that Raymond will lose his temper, he dared not try to push his luck.

"So your name is Rick?" Joanna breaks off the awkward silence with her question.

"Derrick in full. It's nice to finally get to meet you this close," Derrick retorted. He extended his hand for a handshake.

"Hehehe… I can't believe we are just introducing ourselves now when that should have been the first thing we did," Joanna smiled. She reached out her hand and shook his hand.

"Sometimes it's not always fun to follow the standard setting…,"

"You are one mischievous fellow I must say," Joanna said, releasing her hand instantly.

The three of them continued to talk for a long time. Being in the company of such fun people, Joanna lost track of time.

When Joanna realised how much time had gone by she was astounded.
