Semua Bab My Vampire Professor: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Tessa’s POV“We have an apartment across the city. We will prepare it. Tessa will be unaccompanied in that apartment,” Mulligan explained again.“What about school?” I asked, staring around at all their determined faces. Joseph’s face was a mix of worry and anger. I knew he didn’t want to go through with this plan, but he knew we didn’t have much of a choice.“I’ll make some calls,” Mulligan assured me.The Nightwalker Police had special connections and could basically make anything and everything happen in their favor. I wasn’t worried about it, but I was worried about Ruby.How was I going to explain to her that I was not going to be at school for the next unforeseen future?“I’ll ask Emily to substitute for the next few days,” Joseph finally spoke after remaining silent for so long.My heart tightened painfully at the sound of her name.He kept himself from looking at me, but I could see the dismay and anger on his face. I wanted to reach out and provide him with some kind of comfo

Tessa’s POVI woke up early the next morning, and quickly took a shower, getting dressed for the day. Joseph was waiting for me downstairs.Somehow, he looked even better this morning than he had all the other mornings. Not that he didn’t look good before, but my heart was beating harder than it ever had before and I felt my face warm as I neared him with my suitcases.“Did you get any sleep?” I asked him, staring around his well-put-together outfit and neatly combed hair.He nodded.“A little,” he answered.That was a relief to me because I needed him to be awake and alert for the next few days. Without another word, he picked up my bags and brought them to his car.The ride to headquarters was mainly quiet. I wondered if he thought about last night at all. I feel like something had happened between us. Or it was about to happen. I could hardly comprehend the moment and while it was happening, it felt like slow motion.There was a pull between us, pulling us together and I felt entra

Tessa’s POVI ran toward my bedroom. Once I saw the window in the living room was opening, slamming the door shut behind me.The hissing coming from the window in my room had me nearly paralyzed.The window was pushed in and shattered to the ground. I stumbled backward as an unfamiliar face crawled through the window.I screamed, wondering if Joseph could hear me.I thought he could teleport. Why wasn’t he here?Just as I ran toward the door, my bare foot snagged on a piece of glass on the ground and blood spattered around me.I yelled out in pain, nearly falling to the floor. My foot throbbed from the cut, and I heard the vampire gasping. When I turned back, I saw the hunger in his eyes. He opened his mouth, revealing fangs, and his breathing grew immensely. Dark swirls covered his face, and his eyes were black like the night sky.He lunged toward me in a quick motion. I managed to grab the door and pull myself out of the room, slamming the door shut just as he reached me. He ran int

Joseph’s POVTessa sat up on the couch with her head resting on the back pillow and her journal still open on her lap. She had fallen asleep, and I wondered if she was waiting for me.This feeling in my chest left me unsettled. How could something so small have such an effect on my heart in this way?I admit that when I first met Tessa, I was drawn to her, and I don’t think it was just her blood that caused me to become curious. It was her aura and the look in her eyes when we passed one another. Her blood was scented strong, and I was intrigued by her, but there was something more at play that I couldn’t put my finger on.However, Tessa is a brilliant young, 20-year-old, woman with an entire life laid out in front of her. She has goals and plans for her future. She’s a very talented writer and I knew she’d be going places. She deserved a luxurious life in the city, dining with publishers, and doing interviews.A life with a vampire isn’t probable for her and I wouldn’t wish that on h

Tessa’s POVI laughed nervously, making Claire frown.“I’m sorry,” I chuckled. “Joseph isn’t my boyfriend. He’s my professor and mentor. He’s just helping me out.”Claire rose her brows.“Oh, I’m sorry. From my understanding, you were living with him. I just assumed you were in a relationship.”“I’m sorry for the confusion,” I said to her with as much sincerity as I could muster. “Like I said, he’s just helping me.”“Well, he certainly knows how to pick out really nice apartments. He was in communication with me for most of the night and into the morning. I hardly slept,” she chuckled. “He was very adamant about finding you the perfect home. He took a lot of notes on those photos. If you take a look at the back of them, you’ll see his notes and requests.”I frowned and dug through the photos.She was right. He put a bunch of handwritten notes on the back of them.He made notes such as:Preferably an extra room for an office.Laundry and dryer in the unit is a must.Preferably a view o
