Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 336 You Need To Leave?

?His flustered look made his companions chuckle. They never knew the ever-playful and confidence Derrick will get so flustered one day.

"Let's play another round," Joanna announced. She stared at their faces as she waited for their response.

"I am in," Amos replied firmly.

"Are you sure?" Joanna asked curiously.

"Yes," He said sternly. With how serious he looked Joanna didn't say anything more.

If she could play so well on her first attempt she believed he could do that also.

An hour later, the five of them were having tons of fun as they went about playing games when Amos' cell phone rang.

Because of the urgency of the call he had to leave the game to answer the call.

He moved away from their gaming boots and answered the line.

"What is it?" He demanded fiercely. "Didn't you say you will take care of things over there and that I shouldn't worry…,"

"They showed up," Kyle announced. There was momentary silence on both ends.

"Do you mean they had the guts to show up even in broad daylight?" Amos asked in disbelief. He stole a glance at his companions to see what they were doing.

He was relieved to see that none of them was paying attention to him.

"You must be kidding right?" He was still not able to believe the news Kyle shared.

Kyle moved away from where he stood. He strolled to the glass window and stood gazing outside.

He rubbed his eyebrows, "The place you are at is quite noisy. Come over so we can deliberate more…,"

"I should come over now?" Amos half screamed. His reaction made his companions steal a glance at him.

"Yes, there is something you should know…,"

"Can't it wait until later?" Amos asked. He glanced at where Joanna stood. He didn't want to leave her side just yet. Not now they were enjoying themselves to the fullest.

"No. There were five victims today and all were humans. The most ridiculous thing was that even though it happened at daytime, those who dropped the corpse were not seen….,"

"I am coming over right now," He said and disconnected the call.

After the phone call. Amos diverted his attention to the gaming boots where the laughter and thrills were on another level.

Seeing the two siblings smiling faces he was reluctant about leaving.

Joanna who just got eliminated due to distraction caught him gazing intently at her when she turned around.

"What's wrong?" She asked and strolled to where he stood. "Did something happen?" She added, reaching where he stood.

As they were talking they didn't know that the two guys who acted like they were so immersed in the game were eavesdropping on their conversation.

Although he had the answer to her question, how to break the news and what her reaction would be made him hesitate.

"What is it?" Joanna quizzed, not willing to give in until she got the truth from him.

"I need to leave," He finally brought himself to say it seeing her worried face.

"You need to leave?" Joanna asked meekly. Though she tried not to show it, the disappointment was apparent on her face.

"Is it related to that important task you mentioned?" She added softly.

"Sorry, I can't tell you anything now but I promise I will let you know about our progress when I return," He assured her.

For two minutes none of them talked.

"Wait here while I call Little rice ball so we can leave," She said with her right hand clenched.

She thought she would have him all to herself today and that is why she couldn't hide her disappointment hearing that it was all her wishful thinking in the end.

"That is not necessary. You can continue having fun without me. They will accompany you," He said, as he looked at Raymond and Derrick.

"What fun is there to have after you are gone?" She grumbled.

He would have been very happy if she had said this another time and in another situation. But right now he couldn't bring himself to smile or make jokes.

"What did you say?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

"I said we will leave with you…,"

"Your little man is not only enjoying himself but he seems to like being in their company too. Let's not take this away from him too…,"

"But…,"

"Stop making that face or you are gonna push me into doing something unbelievable," He forced himself to joke when he realised that she was unhappy.

Amos left where he stood. He walked to the game boot where the others just concluded their game.

"I need to leave now so I will leave her in your care," Amos said. He tried to act cool until the end.

Derrick turned and gaze behind him and then to his right. He brought back his attention to his front afterwards.

"Are you talking to us?" He asked in bewilderment.

"This is no time to be happy. I am just leaving her in your care. If I return and realize that she has suffered the tiniest thing as a scratch. I promise the world will hear our story," He said coldly.

"Even though you didn't ask us, I would have taken perfect care of her…,"

"I am not a baby who can't take care of herself so stop treating me like one. Also, I am not anyone's property that needs to be tossed from one person to the other," Joanna cut in frowning.

She walked about three steps away from them after speaking her mind. Anthony heeled her as usual.

Amos glanced at her not knowing what he did or said to make her act the way she did.

He was worried about people with malicious intent seizing this opportunity to bully her in his absence and that is why he asked for their help.

He didn't mean anything bad or intend to belittle her with his words or actions.

He looked away after staring at the lady who was deliberately not gazing back at him.
