Bartender, Please!
Jennie, a dark-haired student who seemed friendly with the other females in the class, came in 15 minutes after Dr. Charles Burton's Friday lecture began. She had missed 7 classes out of the last 12, so at least this time she was somewhat present. He felt that the students had paid their university tuition, so if they were late, it was on them. Even though it was a cold February day, when Jennie took off her coat, and hung it over the chair back, she had only a spaghetti-strapped shirt with black leggings that accentuated her hips and long legs.
Dr. Burton kept going with his lecture as if nothing had happened. It was his way of keeping the pace as he strode back and forth excitedly instructing the rest of the students as Jennie slunk to the back of the room to take an unoccupied seat. She took out her phone and took a photo of the notes on the white-board and then her notebook and began writing down what Dr. Burton was saying.
At the end of the lecture, Dr. Burton said,
"Jennie, can you hang back for a bit, I need to talk with you."
"Sure, Dr. Burton," she answered.
The rest of the students grabbed the homework sheet left on the table just inside the classroom door and left. Jennie took up a position 3 feet away from Charlie's chair behind the desk. He wheeled it around to address his student face-to-face.
"When you' re here, you do really good work," hel told her, "so I know it's not that you don't have the academic skills, so tell me, what's going on?" He looked her in the face, but peripherally could tell that Jennie wasn't wearing a bra beneath her shirt, as her nipples were playing peek-a-boo under the fabric.
"I'm sorry professor," Jennie began, "but I've been working long hours and I've barely got any sleep the last month or so."
"Oh, really," Charlie said, "where do you work?"
"I'm a bartender, and I've had to cover several people's shifts due to this cold season," she explained, "I have had to close the bar more often than I want, starting at around 2:00 in the morning, so I don't get back to the dorm until 4:00 or so. Then I have to get up for my 8:30 class, what WAS I thinking there, and then come right here."
"Oh I didn't realise, obviously, which bar is it?" he asked the co-ed.
"It's the Avenue Bar & Grille, not far from here," she told him, "but at 2:00 in the morning, it's pretty scary to walk to my car by myself."
"I've never been there," Dr. Burton said, "is it nice? I'm always looking for a nice bar to have a pint in."
"Yeah it's nice," she said, "it's an Irish bar that they re-did a couple of years ago. They expanded it and put in new furniture, lights, and a band-stand. It's nice. But as I said, I've had to cover late nights lately as well as my own shifts and I haven't slept a lot."
"I can help catch you up with your assignments," he said, "but you HAVE to get here, because the lectures explain the homework, and the homework explains the examinations. So, if you don't make the lectures, you can't do the homework and CAN'T pass the exams. But if you need help, send me an e-mail and we can meet for my office hours."
"That would be great!" Jennie said excitedly and her breasts and nipples jiggled happily under her shirt.
"By the way, what days do you work at the bar," he asked her, "maybe I'll stop in for a pint one of these days."
"Well, the other bartenders are getting back into work-mode," she said, "so hopefully I won't have to work all these double-shifts. So far next wee-ee-eek." she said, checking her phone.
"I'll be there Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoon and Wednesday after 6:00."
"Do you know the address, so I can put it in my Sat-nav," Charlie told her.
"Hang on," she said, again checking her phone, "it's 110 Serf Avenue, here in town."
"Terrific," he said, "maybe I'll drop by for one before I head home."
"That would be great," she said, "looking forward to serving you for a change." and she laughed girlishly. He laughed as well, handed her a homework sheet and she put on her coat and left the room, but not before looking over shoulder at Dr. Burton as she did so.
The week-end passed uneventfully for Charlie, he went out on Saturday night with friends and saw a local band playing at his favourite pub, marked papers per usual, and organised his briefcase in preparation for the coming week. He also put the address that Jennie gave him into the Sat-nav in his car.
Jennie missed class on Monday morning, which was surprising, given their conversation prior to the week-end, but not completely unexpected. So, after getting some work done in his office that overlooked the campus lake, he left campus at around 4:30.
"Surely, she'll be working by this time," he thought to himself. He got into his car and set the address as his destination on his Sat-nav.
It was a short 15 minute drive from campus to the Avenue Bar and Grille. The outside looked like a thousand other bars: shamrocks on the windows, Irish and American flags fluttering from tilted poles out front and a sign on the front door, saying, "Use the rear door"!
Charlie went around the back and opened the door to the "Avenue". There were only a few people at the u-shaped bar: an older couple that clearly been there for a while and there, serving the only other patron at the far end of the bar, was Jennie. She was wearing a green, tight tank top, black leggings again, and open-toed shoes that he could see because she was on tip-toes as she was chatting the customer up, hoping for a good tip. It was unclear as her back was to him, whether she was wearing anything under the visible garments.
Once she had gotten the patron's order, Jennie turned around to get him his drink and saw Charlie.
"Professor!" she squealed and ran over to him, throwing her arms around his neck, her legs around his waist, and giving him a big cuddle. "I never thought I'd see you here!" He was right, she wasn't wearing a bra again and he could feel her erect nipples through her shirt against his shirt. It wasn't apparent whether there were panties or not... hard to tell with thongs.
"Well, you gave me the address and I was thirsty," he said, hugging her back. Finally, she released her grip on him.
"Let me get this guy his drink then we can talk," she explained, "have a seat over here and I'll be right back." And she pointed to the corner booth next to where he was standing.
Charlie slid into the booth while Jennie mixed the cocktail, gave it to the customer, talked to him cordially and then walked quickly to where Charlie's booth.
"So, what do you feel like," she asked, "a beer, or something stronger?"
"No, a Guinness would be fine, Jennie, thanks," he answered.
"Coming right up," Jennie said. And poured his glass of the black liquid expertly with just a 1/2 inch of head as required.
"Here you go," she said, "so this is such a surprise. I know I told you to come any time, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. How was your week-end... and today's class?" she asked sheepishly.
"It was a good week-end for me and a good lecture today, which you missed again," he commented.
"I know, I'm a bad girl," she said with a pouty mouth but a twinkle in her eye.
"Good-bye, Jennie," said the couple who were now leaving past where they were talking and through the door.
"Bye you guys," she said, "see you soon. Now where were we, oh, yes, the fact that I'm a bad girl for missing your lectures. I guess I'll need some good tutoring."
"I think you do," Charlie said, "let me know when and where you want this tutoring to take place."
