Later that night, my phone rings. It's Professor Price. "Hello", I say, my voice a little shakey. I hope he didn't notice. He makes me so nervous.
"Hey, so I asked to change your schedule, that you could be a T.A. for one of my classes with students" he chuckles. I don't know why but I feel a little sad. Why was I looking forward to being by myself with him? "But, they say they couldn't, you're stuck with me".
I sigh in relief. "Oh ok... umm is that it?," I ask hoping it's not because I want to hear is voice his voice a little bit longer.
Sadly he says "Yes" but he continues and says "Goodnight and sweet dreams, see you tomorrow", and those words linger in my head as I lay my head down.
The next morning I wear a sexy outfit that I get from Lysha but I do a light makeup.
When I get to class I'm greeted by Jacob. "Hey so I texted you after class, did you not get it?"
"No, I didn't, maybe it didn't send, what's up," I ask. Hmm, why didn't I get it?
"I just wanted to know if you want to get dinner and watch movies after".
"Oh, well we can do that tonight if you want".
"Yeah, we need to talk business". He chuckles. As we sit down I notice Professor Price is staring me down behind his computer. Did he hear the whole conversation? Why do I care if he did? I know why, I like my professor but not in a friend kind of way.
He gets up and with a cup from Starbucks in his hand. He walks towards me and smiles as he gets closer. "Hey, so I got you coffee because you're going to need it, we're working hard today in prep and it'll probably last all night long".
"Oh, Ummm well I had plans tonight can we work on it later? And what exactly are we working on". I wonder what he's talking about.
"I need you to help me grade some papers".
"What papers, school just started". I feel eyes staring at me.
He walks away saying, "I don't want to discuss this and you shouldn't raise your voice at me". I can't believe him what is his problem? I decided that I'm not going to drink the coffee. I could feel eyes still on me and hear people whispering.
Later when Professor Price arrives to unlock the door so I could go in and help him "grade papers". He closes the door after him. I follow him. Wow, he's so fine and he looks better than he did yesterday with a black button-up shirt. He sits down at his desk. I stand in front of his desk and look at him angrily.
"Listen, they aren't papers I need you to grade", he says.
"Really?", I say sarcastically. I knew from the beginning there were no papers to grade at all. "Why did you lie to me?"
He stood up and walked around his desk until he was in front of me. His face was so close that our noses almost touched. I make direct eye contact with his eyes. "I'm sorry it's just that a lot been going on with me and I needed someone to talk to. I know it's not appropriate but you seem like a nice person to talk to. You know what I'm sorry you should just go on that date with Jacob."
"Date? Jacob?" I laugh. "You don't know," I say shaking my head while chuckling.
"What so funny?" When he says that I stop chuckling.
"You don't know."
"Know what?"
"He's gay, he's always been gay."
I could see in his eyes that he felt relief but why? "So, you guys aren't dating, you're single?"
"Yes, if I'm being honest I've always been single. I've never had a boyfriend because one there are so immature, two I've never had time, and three there's never been someone who caught my eye until now.¨
