When I arrive on campus, the next day, I feel a little groggy. You could say that I had a restless night!

As a result, I'm exhausted... and I've still seen no sign of Drogo.

On the one hand, maybe it's not so bad.  With everything Sarah said yesterday... and then my turbulent dreams, I wouldn't even know how to deal with him.

A couple of days ago, I could say with certainty that we were an item. Today, I think maybe I got carried away with that idea.

I was really starting to believe in us. I thought I'd changed Drogo... That I had a calming effect on the bad-boy vampire.  You bet your ass I did.

Anyways, I think I'd really freak out if he was anywhere near me right now. And seeing how easily he reads me, he'd quickly guess what I was thinking.

I'd be in such an uncomfortable position and I don't need that right now.

My head is constantly filled with sensual images of the two of us! I can't think of anything else!

I've never fantasized so much about a guy! The best thing is to stay away from him until I can calm down.

Drogo: "What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?"

How come I can feel hot and sweaty... and be shivering all over at the same time?

I have such mixed emotions here! I'm overwhelmed by an almost uncontrollable wave of desire, while feeling my anger creeping to the surface. Am I losing the plot?

How dare he just show up like nothing happened?

The atmosphere suddenly becomes electric. I punch him on the shoulder and get even more annoyed when I see that my attitude amuses him.

Nora: "Are you serious?"

Drogo: "What about just a simple "hello"?"

He really has no idea why I'm angry?

Nora: "Could you tell me where the hell you were yesterday, I looked for you everywhere and..."

And I had a dream that you sent me to seventh heaven...

I stop myself. I don't want to come over as a desperate, clingy girl.

I still have some self-esteem left.

Drogo's eyes light up like fireworks.

Drogo: "What were you looking for? Tell me... I could be interested."

Nora: "Not in your wildest dreams!"

Drogo: "I'm sorry I missed you..."

I scowl. I can tell he's making fun of me.

Drogo: "I was watching you..."

Nora: "What do you mean you were watching me? What the hell is wrong with you?"

As I turn away from him, he grabs me gently by the arm and pulls me back to him.

I hold my breath as I feel his body slide against mine with such ease.

Drogo: "Calm down, pretty little thing! I went hunting is all. I needed it."

Nora: "Oh! I thought it might be that, but I wasn't sure if..."
