Professor Sebastian Jones - Is It Love? Fan-fiction by SW

Chapter 07 - The Bodyguards

I wake up in the morning with the alarm clock ringing in my head. I'm still feeling a little bit dizzy, and I don't know if it's because of the sedative or because of my weakness, but I'm better than I was yesterday for sure. These 12 hours of sleep were what I needed.

I get my phone, and there is a message from Sebastian.

[If you need anything, call me. I'm here for you.]

I can't help smiling, and I recap all the events from yesterday: how he intervened when Loan assaulted me, how caring he was, how comforting are his arms and muscular chest, his firm and warm hands around my body, his burning eyes, his sweet stolen kiss... I put my hand on my lips as I can still feel his lips on mines.

Although I'm sure Nicolae kept him informed about me, I decided to text him.

[Good morning, Sebastian. I've just come back from Morpheus' arms.]

I don't have to wait much.

[Morpheus is a lucky guy! ;-) How are you today?]

I giggle and answer.

[Better than yesterday, I can assure you.]

He replies immediately.

[This comforts me. I'll come to visit you after my classes.]

Is he thinking that I'm going to stay at home? Definitely, he doesn't know me.

[You're very welcome if you want, but we'll meet first in your class! Nothing in the world will make me miss it.]

My mobile beeps.

[You need rest, and you're weakened. Doctor's orders!]

I smirk and answer him fast.

[Need much more to me be knocked down. And I don't follow doctor's orders! See you later.]

Very fast another text message from Sebastian comes.

[Answering your yesterday's question: you're the type as stubborn as a mule!]

I laugh heartily and reply to him.

[:-)]

I get up and go to take my morning shower. Although my morning moods are, in general, terrible, this interaction with Sebastian left me in an excellent mood.

I go to Lorie's room to wake her up, but Nicolae is already there, doing the father's role. He isn't surprised in seeing me awake, in uniform and ready to take care of the little vampire princess.

Nicolae: Khawla, Professor Jones warned me that you're planning to go to college. It's out of the question! Go back to your bed. You need to rest. Doctor's recommendation!

A conspiracy? Since when Nicolae and Sebastian are best friends? I'm sure they were growling to each other yesterday... Even both being so concerned about me, I could see great animosity in their eyes.

Khawla: I'll be on the bed only if someone ties me there.

Nicolae smirks and raises an eyebrow. He has an ironic air.

Nicolae: Don't give me ideas...

His remark dumbfounds me. This kind of joke is what I can expect from Drogo, not from the serious Nicolae!

Lorie: Khawla, you look less dead today.

"Lorie, I love you! You've just saved me!"
