COLLEGE DAZE
Chapter 5
Sitting in the auditorium before class starts, I cannot get the scene that played out this morning out of my head. I held her for a long time, her cuddled up in a tiny ball. I could feel her need for human contact. So, I held her.
Finally, she straightened out and gave me a quick kiss. I unclenched the clothes pins that were still fastened to her nipples. She almost came as the pressure was removed from the dark purple crowns of her upturned breasts.
'Come see me off,' she stated before walking out. If I go see her and we end up in another session like the one we just had, it would affect her performance. No one can take a lashing like that and be at the top of their game, let alone sit for a long plane ride.
'Will you sign this?' The voice breaks my reverie.
'Huh?' I say.
'Will you sign this add slip?' He repeats.
'Sorry, I was thinking about something,' I say trying to cover my gaffe. 'I will sign add slips after class up in my office,' I explain. He walks off dejected.
I get up to write that note on the board, but the sight of Tiffany walking in draws my attention away from the task at hand. She smiles at me as I notice her tee shirt, tight enough to clearly show she isn't wearing a bra. Her heavy breasts jiggle in time with her step, pert nipples visible through the thin, white fabric.
I sigh heavily and turn to write on the board. I take my seat again in time to see Amber walk in with her two friends. They are having an animated conversation which includes the girl on her right pointing at the front of the class. I guess it is in reference to me because she blushes when our eyes meet as she skirts her way to a seat about half way back. I feel she is sitting that far back in a vain attempt to show she isn't a favorite of mine to her friends.
The class went good. The second year teaching a course is enough time to iron out the kinks that inevitably crop up, even in the best thought out plans. After, I lead a heard of students to my office. I record as each student has me sign the add card or even the change of class card required by the registrar's office. I do this in case I do not receive an updated roll for the lab classes. It is always better to be prepared and not need to be than caught waiting on something beyond my control.
The only student left after the add slips are handled is Karen, the grandma's girl whose boyfriend went to another college (per her questionnaire). I was hoping Amber would stop by to explain this morning and so I could ask her to be a lab assistant.
'Come in,' I say to Karen hoping she isn't going to tell me she is dropping the class. I had already decided she was the best choice for the lab right after lunch. If only I could do something about her mode of dress.
I close the door behind her and take a seat. She perched in the tall stool again, exactly the same way she had the day before.
'What can I do for you?' I ask.
'I was wondering if you have chosen the lab assistants yet,' she replies shyly. Her tone of voice matches her dress. Conservative, trying not to be noticed. But today, there is a hint of femininity in her outfit. The cardigan sweater she has on is cut so it emphasizes her form, a true hourglass figure. Her blouse, buttoned up all the way to her neck doesn't fit in with anyone else's choice of clothes. Same with the matching skirt. It brushes the tops of her shoes. Shoes, oh my, sensible shoes that look like loafers men wear, and a peek of argyle socks. She is dressed for somewhere that is already approaching freezing, not for sunny Southern California.
'Not yet,' I lie. 'I will announce my choices tomorrow.' That part isn't a lie.
'Oh,' she sounds discouraged. 'I really need a job to help out.'
'I will take that into consideration,' I respond. A trace of hope springs into her small smile. She starts to get up to leave. 'There is something else I want to talk to you about,' I say. She sits back down.
'Your clothes,' I continue.
'What about my clothes?' She asks.
'You need to do something about them,' I respond. She tries to object, but I cut her off. 'I have my reputation to think about,' I say with a chuckle.
Confused, she doesn't know what to say as she opens her mouth to speak and then closes it. She stares at me as I stand and take two steps towards her.
'Now, take this sweater,' I say.
'What about it?' She asks, quickly and defensively. 'It's a cute sweater.'
'I didn't say it wasn't cute,' I respond. 'It is. The thing I mean, isn't it a little warm to be wearing a sweater?'
'It feels nice in here with a sweater.'
'Point taken,' I say. 'It is a little much for anywhere else.' She smiles at thinking she won that round, but she didn't. 'Take it off,' I command.
Shocked, she slowly pulls it over her head.
'Hmm,' I say.
'What?'
'Not bad,' I say reassuringly. 'Not bad for a start.' I reach for the buttons on her blouse, staring at the neck. She tries to move back, but the desk blocks her retreat.
'Don't worry,' I say as I unfasten four buttons, enough to see a good deal of cleavage, but something is blocking it.
'Stop,' she pleads.
'You can leave any time you want,' I reply stepping back. She relaxes.
I wait for her to say something or leave, but she stands with a look of disbelief of the events happening. 'What do you have on under there?' I ask.
'A bra.'
'A bra,' I repeat. 'There's no way that is a bra,' I goat her on.
