*****************
I woke up the next morning blind from the intrusive glare coming in from my office window. Although, the light offered its warmth and doubled as a blanket so I couldn't be too upset with it.
My head pounded within my skull and as I tried to get up off the ragged carpet, gravity mocked me and pulled me right back down. What the hell happened last night? Where were my clothes? Where was I?
The last question was answered immediately as the world came into focus and my eyes adjusted to the morning. I saw my name on the blurred window of the door to the room. I was in my office, naked apparently.
I crawled over to my messy desk carefully as not to dizzy myself and searched for my phone. My desk was in shambles and everything so meticulously organized on top of it before could be found in a chaotic pile next to the desk on the floor. The only things on the desk were a couple of pens, a wrinkled sheet of paper, and a viscous puddle of fluid in the middle. At the moment, I felt like someone in a suspense movie- my memory was wiped and I had to find out what I had done. Though in reality, I was just a middle-aged woman who apparently was too fond of wine and social gatherings. But before I could solve any mystery I had to find my damned phone.
Just then, a ring came out of the opposite corner of the room, playing some generic default ringer. It split my ears with the kind of sound that you know isn't loud in reality, but rather you were just hung over and everything sounded ear-splitting. I quickly crawled over to stop that horrible noise and checked to see who it was from. Just a 1-800 number, I wiped it from my call log. Looking at the time I realized just how bad my predicament was, seeing that I woke up at 1 pm on a Saturday. In my texts were 3 messages, two missed calls, and one voice mail. I never got this much, had I done something great in my inebriation for which people called to commend me? Or had I done something horrible? Please don't let it be the second...
All the calls and texts came from the same unfamiliar number. The texts read:
9:09 AM- "Had a great time with you last night, Julia. I would love to see you again in a less "formal" environment. Come to my apartment by noon and we can catch up on everything worth catching up on. See you then."
Who was this? The nature of the text didn't seem inherently sexual so I couldn't really use it to explain my apparent lack of clothing.
10:13 AM- "No call or text back? Is that anyway to treat someone who made you cum twice last night? I'm starting to worry that you're beginning to have regrets. If you come here by noon I can convince you to change your mind..."
Disregard my last thought. The final text came in only a few minutes before I woke up.
12:53 PM- "You can't ignore me either way. If you want your clothes back you're gonna have to talk to me, whether you like it or not. Oh, and the longer you wait, the more you'll regret it. Ps. What filter should I use for Instagram?"
Attached to the message was a file. I tapped on the file and when it finally loaded after a few seconds I dropped my head to the floor in the deepest shame. The photo was of me in this corner bending down to pick up my clothes at a rather unflattering angle. The flash of the camera highlighted my ass and sparkled on my damp sex, which after closer inspection, had a thick drop falling halfway between itself and the carpet. My face wasn't very prominent in the photo but anyone who looked at it next to me for 10 seconds would be able to recognize me in it. Everything from last night came rushing back to me- the sex, the submission, the degradation... Kate... That was what the puddle on my desk was...
I didn't move for a minute after I looked at the picture, I was too humiliated to function. But when I finally did move, I listened to the voice mail which was sent 20 minutes past noon. Kate's dominating voice boomed from the phone.
"So I've been waiting at my apartment for a while now, and you haven't answered any of my calls or texts. I want you to know I'm not mad, but when next I see you, don't expect me to be happy either. Just prepare yourself accordingly and get down here as soon as possible. The longer I wait, the worse it's going to get. And don't forget about our little deal last night... See you soon."
I texted her back. "Sorry, I blacked out last night. Who are you again?" I had to play dumb, maybe she'd let me off the hook if she thought that this was just a drunken hook-up. I stared at my phone in suspense, not sure how long it would take her to get the message or to respond to it. Just then a yellow bubble appeared on the left side of the chat. It read:
"You've already upset me by making me wait an hour for you to show up, I don't think it too wise for you to lie to me as well. Get over here, now."
She couldn't be 100% sure that I was lying, could she? Although, even if I was being honest and really couldn't remember her, it wouldn't take a genius to see what kind of position I was in: they had my clothes, they hade a nude picture of me, and they allegedly brought me to an orgasm twice in one night. There weren't too many possibilities as to what could be going on. I replied back:
"I know what happened but I don't remember any of it, much less who you are. I'm sorry if I offend you." Please fall for it...
"Last night you told me you were a little bimbo slut, so it makes sense that you legitimately think that you can get away with lying to me. You also asked my permission to eat me out, and seemed to enjoy me quite a lot. Ring any bells?"
"... ... ..."
"... ... ..."
"I'll be there soon." She gave me no room for any further discussion or any negotiation. Whether I remembered her or not she had the same leverage on me. She, a student, had a naked picture of me, a professor. It seemed there was no way out.
Just then she texted me the directions to her apartment, and I stared at my phone in shame. How could I end this? This couldn't go on forever, I would just have to please her for today and then this nightmare would be over. I had to tell Jane to see if she had any input. I called her up and she answered after 3 rings.
"Hello?"
"Hey, are you with anybody right now? If so can you go somewhere you won't be heard?"
"... okay what's up, Julia?"
"Well, you know how I stayed late last night? And how I got a little drunk?"
"Well I didn't know about the last part, but yeah."
"Well at the end, I ended up..." how could I put this in a way that that didn't make me seem like a slut. "... having relations with a student..." My body tensed up and I was prepared for Jane's judgement of my misdeeds.
Jane chuckled into the phone and said "And...? Did you murder them too? What's wrong?"
How could she be so relaxed? "I slept with a student! I violated about a hundred differed rules and now I could get fired!"
"I've also slept with a student before. And so has Ms. Jilling, and Mr. Godall, and Mr. Atery, and Ms. Zuna. Literally everyone has slept with at least one student. As long as they don't tell anybody you're safe."
"What if..."
"Did they tell somebody?! Julia, is that what you were about to say?" I don't know why, but the prospect of having the entire campus aware of sexual exploits lit a small fire in my chest and my groin.
"No no no. But they're threatening to and I don't know what to do."
"Well first, what proof do they have? And second, what do they want from you?"
How could I tell her what Kate wanted. I was so embarrassed I could have dropped dead at that moment. "She has a picture of me naked."
"She?" Jane seemed confused. "I thought—"
"It doesn't matter right now, Jane. Just help me with this."
"Okay, what does she want?"
"She..." I couldn't say it, not to best friend.
"She what? If you want my help you have to tell me."
