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

Chapter 35 - Telling the truth to Sarah

I arrive at the manor, but I decided to go to the garage entrance not to be seeing by Nicolae. I don't want to see him or talk to him. His car isn't in there, what makes me feel relieved! I prepare some sandwiches to eat, and I go straight to my bedroom to start working on the presentation. I lock the door behind me. I don't want to be interrupted. Especially by Nicolae when he arrives home.

I know that avoiding him won't settle things, but I prefer like this for now, because I know how I'm impulsive when I'm angry, and, last time, it has cost me a timeout and a good spanking.

The theme of the presentation that Sebastian Jones gave me couldn't be more didactic: "Drugs and its effects on the body and when it's time to seek for help". What to expect from a Professor?

What's cracking me the most is the last part of the presentation. Sebastian hit the nail on the head, and he went directly to the point that hurts me more. I know I have a problem with alcohol, but no one can understand my pain and the wounds in my soul. I can't trust my secrets to anyone. How explain to them that I'm a supernatural creature and that my problems are related to it?

I let out a long sad sigh.

Khawla: I need a drink...

But I can't drink now, or I won't be able to finish the presentation and also it wouldn't bode well if I present it with a hangover...

I look at my Goldfish. It seems so happy swimming in its aquarium. It has no worries, no stress or, if it had one in its life, it's already forgotten with its 5 seconds of memory. How I envy it! I get some fish food to feed it. My Goldfish eats greedily. I'm playing with it when my mobile beeps, it's another message from Nicolae. I look at my clock, and it's time to get Lorie and maybe he can't. I have my professional obligations. I must keep my professionalism, and I'm his employee after all.

[Khawla, I'm stuck in a meeting. Can you pick up Lorie in my behalf, please?]

I raise an enquiring eyebrow. How if I don't have a car anymore?

[Call the school to inform I'll be late. I can't reach on time on foot.]

I don't have to wait much for Nicolae's reply.

[The key of your car is in the office in your drawer.]

I don't know if it makes me happy or sad. He's giving me the car only because he needs me, not because he trusts me, but I'll take the opportunity to prove him I'm trustworthy.

I go to the office and get the key. My dark-gray sedan is there. It's already fixed. I hope it's working because there are a couple of weeks that it's inside the garage without being used. I turn the key and it starts without any problem, and I head to Lorie's school.

I arrive there, and the teacher assistant is waiting for me. As usual, she's very pleasant and has endless patience with kids. She gives me Lorie with a warm smile, and goes back inside the school.

Lorie seems very happy today, and I can bet she's glad because Nicolae had slapped me. She has a Machiavelli smile on her lips giving me chills. I'm not in the mood to handle her nasty remarks and riddles.

Lorie: I hope you've learnt your lesson, slave.

I raise an enquiring eyebrow.

Lorie: You can't be bad with me without consequences.

Yeah... I was right. Lorie is thrilled because Nicolae had lost his patience with me and had slapped me. I let out an annoyed sigh.

Lorie: Be happy that it was only a warning. Next time, Nicolae will empty you from your blood, slave.
