It was the following Friday. Laney had not talked to the Professor all week. He seemed to look at her more in class which she certainly appreciated. She would smile back and he would smile, too. Life was great.
He was at his computer, entering grades.
"Professor?" She stopped by the door.
He looked up and smiled. "Laney." He motioned for her to close the door which she did.
She sat down.
He took off his glasses and looked at her. "So, things got a little personal last Friday. How do you feel about everything?"
"Um, can we do it again?" She asked, smiling.
He smiled. "I was wondering if you would come to my house tonight so we can talk."
"And, do stuff?"
He laughed. "Yeah, stuff."
She laughed too. It was endearing to see her Professor blush. He gave her his address and told her to come over at seven.
She raced home. Amazingly he lived in the next town over - only a ten minute drive if that. She showered and tried on everything she owned. What did he like in a woman? Smart? Slutty? A combination? In the end she decided comfort was the sexiest thing so she threw on her tight jeans (did she say comfort?) and her "Squeaky Springs" shirt.
She pulled up to his house and was surprised to see it looked like a roomy log cabin. It was set back from the road on a private lot with lots of trees. She walked up to the door and he opened it.
"Wow, this is your house?" She asked.
"Yeah. Come on in. I hope you brought your class notes."
She laughed. "Um no I not bring my notes. I'm not here to study."
He closed the door. "Very well. You can have tonight off. But next week we should review material. We have a test in two weeks."
"Ugh." She said. She looked around. It was lofty and spacious. "This is a really nice home."
He went to the kitchen and poured her a glass of wine. He knew from her file she was 22. It was a dark merlot that stung her taste buds but left a nice woody aftertaste. They went on the porch where he grilled up a nice steak. They sat outside and ate fresh steamed green beans, mashed potatoes and a rare ribeye.
Laney waited for a long pause in the conversation. "So, what did you want to talk about?"
