Aspens Vamp by Jinni James Read Free Book Online

schedule by now ; plus weren't you used to being up nights when you were a doctor?"
    I haven't thought about my days as a doctor in a long time.
    "I am a doctor and I was used to it but we got to sleep in between patients so it didn't feel so bad."
    Michael keeps opening the cabinets like he is looking for something but I refuse to ask.
    "So you are thinking about going back to being a doctor? Even as a vamp?" I don't know if he realizes how much he is frustrating me right now.
    "Yes. I am. Why? Does that seem weird?"
    Suddenly I see him pull something out of one of the cabinets. "Found it! I knew there had to be some here somewhere. Here put a little cinnamon in the milk. It will help." I take the bottle from him and sprinkled just a bit in the milk then continued to stir.
    "Thank you."
    "You’re welcome. Now back to what I was saying. No, I do not think it would be weird for you to be a doctor now that you are a vampire, I was just curious if you would be able to work around all the blood without wanting to drink it."
    "As long as I am not hungry when I operate I should be fine."
    Finally I begin to see steam coming off the milk. Michael hands me a cup and holds it for me while I pour the milk in.
    "Thank you."
    "Anytime beautiful." Michael winks at me then hops off the counter and makes his way back to his room. I decide to take my warm milk with me into the office. If I can't sleep I might as well check my email.
    *****
    I walk into the office to see Ava on the computer.
    "Oh I'm sorry to disturb you, Ava." Avalon turns the chair around as I walk in and sit down in one of the chairs in front of the fireplace. "Do you mind if I join you in here though?"
    Avalon gets up and joins me by sitting in the chair next to mine.
    "You aren't disturbing me. I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd get a jump on my next book."
    I didn't know she was planning another book.
    "What is this one about Ava?" Avalon let out a giggle.
    "Well, to be honest...you."
    "Me! How in the hell are you writing a book about me?"
    Avalon laughs again. "I'm writing about your transition from a human to a vampire but I'm adding to your story. Real life is kind of boring, well more boring than a book."
    I love Avalon. She can always put me in a better mood.
    "I suppose that's true. I can't wait to read it."
    Avalon knows something is on my mind. I can tell by the way she looks at me.
    "What's wrong Jaci? And don't tell me the sleep schedule."
    I sigh as I drink my milk. Michael was right; the cinnamon makes all the difference. God he is so infuriating!
    "I guess I am just nervous about being in this house alone with Michael while you, John, and Daniel are gone. I thought you would stay but now that you’re going it's just going to be Michael and me. I'm freaking out Ava. Daniel just told me how much he likes me and now Michael plans on fighting for me. What do I do?"
    Avalon stands up then comes to sit next to me on the arm of my chair.
    "That's easy Jaci. You follow your heart. Do what your heart tells you."
    "Thanks a lot Ava. That really helps."
    Avalon smacks my arm. "It will if you listen to it. I think you already know what you want to do and that is why you are so nervous."
    Maybe she's right however; it does not help the nervousness I feel.
    "Who knows Jaci; this could be a good thing. Spend the day with Michael and see if it leads anywhere. If it doesn't then you know to stick around with Daniel and see what blossoms. If it does then you know what to do."
    I hate when she's right.
    "If you really want me to stay Jaci , just tell me. I will stay."
    I look up at my best friend.
    "Really?"
    Avalon laughs as she takes my now empty coffee cup from me. "Nope."
    I stand up and hug her. "You’re a bitch but I love you."
    "I love you too Jaci. Now go to bed. You look sleepy."
    She is right. I am finally feeling pretty tired. I say goodnight to Ava then head back towards Daniel’s room. I should probably go to my own room but he'll wonder where I am so back to
