"If you are gonna lead by example does that an you are gonna marry 4-5 wives like the previous vampire Kings?" Joanna asked out of the blue.
Her abrupt question left Amos flustered. He stared at her wondering where she got such a question from.
"Seeing how you hesitated I won't be surprised if such thoughts had ever crossed your mind...," She trailed and walked three steps away from the bench with her back facing him.
"I an vampires had always believed that mates are humans and werewolves things. They found spending their immortal life with one woman boring....,"
"Do you know you deserve to get severely punished for daring to categorize with those frivolous n huh?" Questioned Amos as he stood up and walked to her.
"You know that I am telling the truth...,"
"Of course I know it's true that vampire Kings before took pleasure in marrying many wives but how could you suspect of doing the sa thing knowing very well how I feel about you...,"
"I am sure they also made the sa promises to the won they loved just like you are doing...,"
"I bet they didn't love the won they claid to do half as I love you and that is why they could do what they did. So how dare you compare to the likes of them?" Amos retorted.
He didn't look the least happy. Anyways how could he be happy when the woman he loves suspects him of going back on his words?
"I was already of legal age when I beca the King and as such the ministers had bugged to get married ever since then until this very mont....," Amos let his words linger.
He stared into her eyeballs before he continued. "I didn't give in to the pressure or bother about their threats. I stood my ground until this mont because I believed no woman on the planet was worthy of being my Queen except you," He confessed in a soft tone.
"I believed I had proved my love for you beyond every reasonable doubt in the past five years. But I can see that you don't believe at all....,"
pàпdá-ňᴏνêι.сóМ "Kay...,"
"What more do you need to do to make you believe that all the promises I made to you including my love for you are truly like the existence of morning and night?" He asked, his voice clouded with emotions.
From how he couldn't hide his painful expression it was crystal clear that her words had hurt him imnsely.
"Do you want to dig out my heart and show you that my feelings for you are as true as the fact that I need oxygen to survive...,"
"I...I...," Joanna stuttered, not knowing what to say to ease the pains of the man she saw she had hurt with her words unintentionally.
"If not that beings like us can't survive a minute without a heart I wouldn't have hesitated to dig out my heart right this minute and show it to you...,"
"I believe you so there is no need to do that," Joanna said. She raised her hands and cupped his sad face.
"I am aware that there is no man in this world who can love as much as you do. And believe when I say I have given my entire heart to you. As such I can never love any man as much as I love you. Not in this lifeti at least," Joanna smiled sweetly at him.
She stretched a bit and wrapped her hand around his neck.
"It was never my intention to hurt you so forgive ok?" Joanna asked, her gaze locked on his.
She waited for his reply but he uttered no word. Instead of giving her a response, he avoided her stares.
"You are gonna be late for class so let's go," He gently unwrapped her hand from his neck and turned to leave.
"But you haven't said you have forgiven ...,"
"We can talk about that later," He said and continued walking away.
Seeing that he wouldn't halt Joanna thought of what to do to get his attention once again.
"I won't attend today's lecture if you don't talk to ," Joanna blurted. She smiled when she saw him stop in his tracks imdiately.
He slowly turned and gazed at her face.
"Kay....,"
"I have said we will talk later so stop being willful and co let's go ok," He scolded her sternly.
Because she didn't want to get him angrier, Joanna decided to do what he wanted. The journey from there to Campus was a quiet one.
Despite her efforts to get him to talk to her normally she failed wholly each ti.
The atmosphere around them didn't get better even in the lecture hall. He didn't keep his gaze fixed on her face as he always did.
Because of the awkwardness between the two of them none of them concentrated their attention on the lesson for the day.
Joanna had hoped to get things resolved after classes but unfortunately, Mr Fin sent soone to get him as soon as the class ended.
"I will be at the cafe so you don't have to worry about being alone...,"
"But today was supposed to be your day off right?" Amos cut in.
"I will just go and help Leah out. I believe Mrs Parker won't have the heart to chase out because today is my day off," Joanna forced on a smile.
There was montary silence afterwards.
"I might have to drop by sowhere after I et with Fin so don't wait for if I don't return early. Instead, wait for at my apartnt...,"
"Because of Laura's birthday party which is in three days I will have to sleep over at ho for the coming days," Joanna cut in a ek tone.
"Then that ans there is a huge possibility we might not see each other after we separate now so let see you off," Amos offered.
"You don't have to keep him waiting...,"
"As we are talking, his car is parked right outside the campus so you don't have to worry about that," Amos muttered. He grabbed her hand and led her away.
