The One Night Stand Turns Out To Be My Professor

52

Sophia’s POV

I stared at the calender, calculating in my head when school was going to start and how I was going to manage to cope around that much humans. I tried to understand but I didn’t think I would be able to stand being around much humans without attacking one and revealing that there are vampires amongst the humans.

I ran my hands through my hair and huffed. I was getting crankier day by day. I didn’t know why. Oh wait, I did. It was because Ian was trying to test how much I could go without blood. And I had locked myself in the room in reply. I didn’t do that in retaliation, I did that because if I stayed around Jenny, I might just find myself trading her throat out.

I was getting used to being around her and controlling myself but I didn’t want to test the limit. She was still very tempting.

I looked away from the calender hanging on the wall and closed my eyes, preparing myself to sleep. Sleeping was something I barely did since I turned into one of them, but once in a while, it helped calm me down. It reminded me of what it felt like to be human, to have my mind and my body relax when I was sleeping.

I grabbed the huge teddy that was sitting upright on the bed and then I hugged it, shutting my eyes close tightly and taking deep breaths so I could fall asleep easily.

I was almost deep in sleep when my nose scented it. Blood. There was blood somewhere around here. Somewhere close to here. And then I began to hear the near silent footsteps of someone. But no heartbeat.

There was only one person that walked like that. I had learned to study everyone’s footsteps and Ian was the one who had this silent kind of walking. He was the one walking to my room.

I for wed and closed my eyes, turning around on the bed. I was still mad at him. For the past two days that I had locked myself in this room, he hadn’t even tried to come checko up on me and talked to me. Did that mean that his love for me was waning because I was now a vampire, not the vulnerable human girl he fell in love with?

Well it wasn’t my fault that I was now a vampire. Most of the fault went to him. For marking me without my permission and unconsciously putting a target on my back. And then putting blood in the tea he served me.

But I wasn’t blaming him. I had even forgiven him, as weird as that sounded. I had more to think of than to keep holding a grudge on him. And as much as I bared to admit it, I was still very much in love with him. Even though I shouldn’t be loving him. Not after everything.

But then I remembered Mike telling me that as a vampire, my emotions are heightened. I guess that meant that my love for him only grew stronger. I had always lived him anyways.

The footsteps finally stopped in front of my door and Ian knocked. I remained quiet. I wasn’t ready to talk to him. Afterall, he had ignored me for two days straight and I was intent on doing the same.

And there was no way he could get into the room. It’s either he kicked down the door or he left. He didn’t have much of a choice.

He knocked once again and I kept quiet.

“Soph, I know you’re awake,” he called out at last. “I know you’re in there and you can hear me. Come open the door,” he said and I just narrowed my eyes. Bold of him to think I’d just do whatever he wanted because he asked that of me.

“Hey,” he murmured softly when I didn’t answer him again. “Come on. Come open the door, Sophia.”

I pursed my lips and rolled my eyes. I wasn’t ready to give him what he wanted. After a few minutes, I heard the sound of a key and then the lock began to turn. The door pushed open and Ian was standing there, a tray containing food and a class cup containing red liquid. My nostrils flared. Blood.
