Bedding My Vampire Mate-Chapter 543 How Come It’s You?

"Bye, I will see you later," Audrey waved at both of them before she disappeared from the sitting room.

"Let's go," Joanna who could not scold Audrey even though she wanted to say to the guy beside her.

She approached the door with Raymond following her closely.

After Joanna left the room, Audrey came out of the bedroom. She went out of her apartment even though she was still in her pyjamas.

From the corridor, she stood and watched the two people she was very familiar with as they approached a black van parked just in front of the building.

"He is such a gentleman," Audrey mumbled when he saw Raymond open the door for Joanna and let her enter the van first.

[He seems to like Anna a lot. And I have this feeling that a naughty girl would have been much happier with him than with Kayden... It's just too bad that we can't teach our heart whom to love]

Audrey was in deep thought as she watched the black van move out of the apartment premises.

After she watched them leave Audrey returned to the room. Because she had no prior appointment that morning Audrey freshened up and stationed herself in front of her gaming pad.

Audrey was still in the middle of her game when someone knocked at her front door.

"I am sure Anna didn't forget anything when she left. And I recall telling my mum not to drop by my apartment so she won't make Anna uncomfortable, so who could that be at the door?" Audrey mumbled her eyes fixed on the bedroom door as if she could see through walls.

When the banging became louder, Audrey had no choice but to pause her game and went to answer the door.

"How come it's you?" Audrey exclaimed a frown visible on her pretty face.

"I know you don't like seeing my face and I will grant your wish as long as you let me in so I can talk to Joan...,"

"And what makes you think I will do that?" Audrey rolled her eyes, and her grip around the brown door became firmer just in case the guy in front of her tried to force his way in.

"Audrey...,"

"The one you are looking for is not in so you can quit with the sermon," Audrey decided to save Amos the stress of lecturing her with the hopes that he would get to talk with Joanna.

"She is not in?" Amos repeated as if Audrey's words were not clear enough.

He peered at his wristwatch only for him to realise that he didn't arrive there late but was right on time.

"Audrey, although I am unaware of the reason you dislike me so much, you don't have to lie just to get rid of me," Amos replied.

He tried to peep into the room with the tiny space Audrey left open but the smart girl moved over and blocked his vision.

"And why on Earth would I bother to lie when I have many ways to get you out of my front door?" Audrey snarled.

"Also it seems like you misunderstood something so let me make one thing clear right here...," Audrey paused. She let go of the door and stood properly, her eyeballs locked with Amos'.

"I indeed hate the fact that you do nothing other than make my friend sad ever since we knew each other... but the truth is that I have never for once hated you," Audrey spoke sternly.

Amos would have thought she was lying if not that she looked into his eyes and said these words.

"I have always loathed the fact that you can't really help my friend's situation even though your position is high up there...,"

"Even if others criticise me, you of all people shouldn't do that. You know that never for once have I ever...,"

"I know you love Anna and have always made plans for her future and yours together but you can't stop me from feeling this way. I am her best friend after all and I have witnessed all the shit she had to go through all these years," Audrey retorted.

After her outburst, none of them spoke for over a minute.

From Amos' head which hung low Audrey knew she hurt him with her statement but she decided not to give much thought to it.

Words said can never be taken back, she is well aware of this.

"Sorry that I couldn't entertain you properly but I promise to make it up to you on a better day," Audrey broke the awkward silence at last.

"If there is nothing more then I will take my leave. Farewell," Audrey added. She took one last glance at Amos' fallen expression before she walked back into the room and shut the door.

For three minutes Amos stood at the same spot and stared at the brown door blankly like there were some interesting inscriptions on the door.

Audrey, who could still feel his presence even from the bedroom, was finally able to breathe normally after he left her doorstep.

"Although Anna and he are not on good terms right now, that doesn't change the fact that she still loves him very much. I think I need to be careful with my words so Anna and I won't end up fighting because of this," Audrey, who felt guilty for her earlier actions, cautioned herself without waiting for anyone to do that.

After Amos left the apartment building without the car he came with, he walked aimlessly on the street like someone whose soul was sucked out of him.

"If that is what Audrey thinks of me then does Joan share the same thought as her?" Amos, who was bothered by Audrey's earlier statement, murmured.

Instead of watching his path, Amos' gaze was focused on the floor as he walked. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

[I have always believed that I gave it my best and I went around planning my future with Joan... but why did Audrey's words make me feel like my best was not enough? Was I too slow with my arrangements or...?]

Amos paused in his tracks. He raised his head and stared into the distance.
