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

Chapter 14 - Warnings & Nightmares

I'm in the dining room having my lunch. At this time, I'm the only soul at the manor, what increases my sadness and despair due to today's events.

I finish eating, and I go to the office. It still has lots of papers to be organized and cataloged. The task is a little bit boring but demands a lot of my concentration, good to keep my mind off of my problems and off of Sebastian, and what makes me lose the sense of time too. Because of this, I set the alarm on my phone for the time I must leave home to get that little brat at school.

I'm so busy and focused that I jump scared when the alarm rings.

Khawla: I hope Lorie doesn't say anything about wolves or something else or I won't answer by my actions...

I get the car key and head to the school.

Lorie can sense that I'm moodier now than in the morning, and she wants to trouble me even more with her nasty and cruel remarks. This little brat is a psychological sadist: her pleasure is to drive people crazy.

Lorie: Did you tell Nicolae about the car?

My answer is dry.

Khawla: No.

She's surprised.

Lorie: He'll be angry if you don't inform him.

Khawla: I'll inform him when he comes back.

She adds in an authoritarian brat tone of voice.

Lorie: You have to inform him now!

Khawla: No need to worry him when he's busy.

Lorie is with that Machiavelli air that gives me chills.

Lorie: But Nicolae always know about everything, and he'll be very furious if you hide this from him.

Why am I not surprised? How he can't know if he can read minds?

Khawla: I'm not hiding. I'll tell him later on.

Lorie's voice is a warning.

Lorie: I don't think you want to see Nicolae when he's furious, Khawla...

I shudder on fear because I know how vampires can be dangerous when they're mad, although I'm sure Lorie is only trying to scare me.

Khawla: Lorie, shut up! I don't want to crash the car again because of you.

Lorie sulks and pouts. But fast recovers her Machiavelli air.

Lorie: Khawla, you know werewolves are dangerous because they are very moody?

I sigh in despair. I turn on the CD player on my heavy metal in a high volume not to listen to her nasty remarks anymore. I can see her sulking again through the rearview mirror.

We arrive at the manor, and we head to her room. While she goes to change clothes, I take a look at her school books and get the homework to do with her.

Lorie: Let's play!

Khawla: First, homework, then, play.

She sulks.

Lorie: You're like Nicolae...

I think it was a compliment as she's crazy about him. I smile at her.
