Bedding My Vampire Mate

Meanwhile upstairs Joanna was seen sliding into Anthony\'s room with a white tray in her hand.

Inside Anthony\'s room, she carefully dropped the tray of food on the side table and proceeded to wake him up.

"Waking, Waking, Waking….," Joanna whispered in his ear and pulled away. Anthony groaned and changed his sleeping position instead of waking up.

"Waking, Waking, Waking…," Joanna tried it the second time. She watched as his eyes fluttered open.

Anthony rubbed his eyes with his right hand as he tried to sit up. Joanna hastened to assist him to sit on the bed with his back leaning against the headboard.

"Big Sister!" He shouted the instant his eyes cleared up.

"You are….," He pulled in and embraced her tightly, making her swallow back her words.

"Big Sister is back. I have missed you," He said, his grip around her neck tightening.

"I was only away from home for a day or two but if someone sees the way you are acting they will think I haven\'t been at home for a year or so," Joanna replied playfully. She raised her hand and patted his back.

"The number of days you have been away doesn\'t matter. The truth is that I have missed having Big Sister around," He said not letting go of her.

"And this is why I prepared you this to make up for not returning home these past nights," Joanna said. She wasn\'t the least surprised to see him pulled away in a flash.

"What did you prepare?" His eyes sparkled as he waited for the surprise.

"This…," She replied while pointing at the tray of food by their sides. His eyes moved to where she pointed at him.

His eyes shone brighter when he got a glimpse of the content of the tray. "Bacon and omelette!" He shouted, shifting his attention back to his sister\'s smiling face.

"Yeah, this is called breakfast in bed. Do you like it?" questioned Joanna as she reached out her hand and stroked his glowing skin.

"Hmm…," he shook his head affirmatively. "I love it". Anthony couldn\'t stop smiling as he looked at his sister\'s face.

"If you like it then go into your bathroom and take care of your teeth. You need to eat it while it\'s still hot," Joanna instructed. And immediately Anthony jumped out of bed.

"I will do that now," He said and raced towards the bathroom.

Because of how excited he was feeling Anthony forgot to close his bathroom door. From where she sat she could see him rushing about trying to take care of his teeth and face in the quickest possible time.

He returned to the bedroom sooner than she thought. With the two of them sitting facing each other and the tray in their middle, Joanna picked the bacon with the fork and brought it close to his mouth.

In this way, she fed him so many times. After making him eat a few spoons, the smart boy noticed that his sister wasn\'t eating.

"Let\'s eat together," Anthony said. With the spoon, he scooped the sweet fragrant soup and brought it to her mouth but Joanna refused to open her mouth.

"You don\'t like the soup right?" Another question. Without waiting for her reply he returned the soup to the blue bowl.

He took the fork, picked a sizable piece of omelette from the floral plate and lifted it to her mouth.

"I am sure you will like your favourite. It\'s quite tasty ahhh…," He said while opening his mouth the way he wanted her to do.

She raised her hand and held him by the hand. "I don\'t have an appetite, Little rice ball," Joanna replied as she forced a smile.

"You prepared all this so how could you not want to eat, Big Sister?" Anthony asked, frowning. He brought the food to her mouth once again but she still refused to eat it.

"Big Sister, this is the last time we are gonna eat in our home before we move to the hotel so let\'s eat hmm… We don\'t know how long it will take for the house to be repaired," Anthony coaxed softly.

"Are we moving into a hotel?" Joanna questioned with widened eyes.

"Yes," He replied firmly. "Daddy wants to get the broken porch repaired as quickly as possible since Granny will be coming over. And that is why we will be moving out of the house in four days," He explained, his gaze focused on his sister\'s surprised face.

"Daddy asked Laura to inform you about it so don\'t tell me, she refused to do that?" Anthony took a guess.

He decided not to press further when Joanna didn\'t respond. "And that is why you must eat with me today since I am not sure when we are gonna eat homemade food," Anthony said. He tried his luck the third time.

He pouted his lips and blinked his eyes repeatedly when Joanna still didn\'t open her mouth to receive his food.

"Hehehe… stop making that face ok," Joanna couldn\'t resist laughing seeing her brother\'s cute expression.

Being with Anthony made Joanna forget all her problems, even though it was only for a short while.

Time flew by quickly and when it reached the time to go to the cafe Joanna became depressed.

…

For three days Amos gave Joanna the cold shoulder. If it was only him not talking to her, she wouldn\'t have been so affected.

The fact that Amelia takes the slightest opportunity to infuriate her was the worst of all. No day passed by without her going home furious.

As if not being able to talk to him despite seeing him every day wasn\'t enough torture, the gradual loss of her abilities added more to her pile-up problems.

Tonight after doing everything to calm her hurting best friend Joanna and Audrey laid down to sleep.

Audrey was slowly drifting to sleep when Joanna lying beside her jumped to her feet.

The startled Audrey sprang up to her feet after what Joanna did. "What happened? Was there an attack or an earthquake?" Audrey asked as she searched the room for signs of an intruder.

"No one is here so what exactly happened, Anna?" Audrey questioned as she sat back on the comfy brown duvet.

"I have the answer to your question now," Joanna shouted. There were sparkles in her eyes as she talked.

"Answers to what exactly?" Audrey asked, frowning. She couldn\'t believe that Joanna has just woken her up from sleep because of something as trivial as this.

"I love him," Joanna yelled, beaming.
