I woke up the next day with Conner behind me, his arms wrapped around me and holding me close. He must have turned the lights off after I fell asleep the night before because the room was pitch black again. That sucked because I was desperate to pee. I tried to wiggle out from Conner’s hold, but his grip only tightened and he buried his face into my hair. I patted at his arm but he kept sleeping.

“Conner, I need to get up.”

He grunted, and his arms loosened so I could move to the edge of the bed and turn on the lamp. I darted into the bathroom and took care of pressing business. After I washed my hands and face, I walked back out into the bedroom. Conner was face down on the bed, the sheets pooled just below his waist. I took a moment to appreciate the view before I went out into the living area. I had no clue what time it was, so I turned on the television and was shocked to see it was one in the afternoon.

I sighed and went ahead and made coffee anyway. After last night, I needed it. While I waited for the pot to brew, I grabbed my cell phone out of my bag and called my boss. I told him my grandmother was very sick and likely to pass away soon. I explained that I would need to be off work for a while, around two weeks, because I would need to help my mother care for her. My manager was sympathetic, but I could also tell he wasn’t happy to short a waitress. I just prayed that this whole mess was straightened out before I had to go back to work. Otherwise, I would be out of a job. I knew Conner was serious about taking care of my bills, but I really didn’t want to go there. Just the thought made me tense.

After the coffee finished brewing, I sat at the bar to drink my first cup. I realized that my entire life had changed within the course of days. I was basically living with a vampire and, despite my best efforts not to, I had fallen in love with him. It was scary as hell. Eventually Conner would want to turn me, and I would let him. I thought about what he’d said to me about cutting ties with my family. My parents were still alive. Would they have to someday think that their daughter was dead because they would start to catch on that I wasn’t aging? Then there were my friends. Ivie, Ricki, Shannon, and Kerry were like sisters to me. I would have to leave them behind as well. I loved them like sisters. The thought of giving them up made my heart ache.

My eyes misted over with tears. I would also be giving up my ability to have children. I always thought I had time, and there was no rush, but kids had still been in my future plans.
