This story is dedicated to my former Lady, whose friendship I still treasure. Special mention goes to the wonderful person who sent me feedback lamenting my recent lack of stories and whose effusive praise and support inspired me to start writing again after a lapse of more than a year. Thank you. See, if you send me feedback, I'll write more. Voting would be lovely too (5's a nice number, hint hint).

"So, let's recap. Second Normalised Form is when the database has a non-cardinal key that provides data..."
I stifle a yawn and glance disinterestedly around the lecture theatre. Friday afternoon lectures are the worst. The comfortable seats, the low whirring of the air-conditioning, the monotonous drone of Dr Horan's lecture. It takes a Herculean effort just to keep my eyes open.
"And of course, if R is part of Q, then Q is in DFN. Everybody following? Good. Now, Tertiary Normalised Form..."
Despite my best efforts, my eyelids begin to droop. I force them to stay open and try to concentrate on the slideshow. I've missed far too many classes this year and I can't afford to daydream through this one. My seat is annoyingly comfy and I keep finding myself lazing back to rest.
I open my eyes to see that Dr Hayes has moved onto a different topic. I didn't even realise that I'd shut them. Gotta concentrate on the slideshow. I can feel my eyelids weighing down again though, growing heavier and heavier.
A sudden girlish giggle to my right makes me start and I sit up abruptly in my seat, kicking the person sitting in front of me. He twists to glare at me and I try and look abashed. There's another giggle and I turn my head to see a pretty girl suppressing hysterics at the end of my row of seats. I could have sworn there was no-one there a second ago; she must've snuck in quietly while my eyes were closed.
I tilt my head quizzically and she slides two seats across to sit next to me. "Sorry, but you just looked so funny," she whispers, her voice carrying the trace of an Irish accent. "Your head kept nodding every time you woke up." She smiles, an exquisite curve of lips that seems to light up her entire face and for a second I lose control of my jaw muscles.
She seems really familiar; everything about her rings a faint bell, yet I can't seem to remember when I've met her. "I'm sorry, I'm sure I know you, but for the life of me I can't remember your name."
She laughs again and extends her hand with mock formality. "I'm Michelle."
"Chris." She is really something. Emerald eyes gaze out from underneath a mane of thick red hair and my gaze shifts momentarily downwards to admire the triangle of cleavage afforded by her blouse and the creamy white thighs displayed beautifully by her miniskirt. I regain control and shift my eyes back to her face. She is already giving me a barely concealed expression of amusement and I know that she saw me look.
I struggle for composure. "So, do you normally have this lecture?"
"I'm supposed to. Normally try and miss Dr Horan's ones though. I get enough sleep at home."
"How come you're here then?" Dr Horan pauses suddenly in the middle of her lecture to glare in our direction and I lower my voice before continuing. "Not that I'm not glad, you're here, but..."
She looks down and brushes an errant strand of hair from her eyes. When she lifts her head, a red blush has spread across her china white skin. "I came cause I like watching the cute blonde guy who falls asleep in these lectures." She smiles, hesitantly this time, watching my face for a reaction.
My jaw dangles loose for a second before I regain control of my facial muscles. Michelle's smile spreads as her confidence grows and she shuffles closer to me. Her body presses against my side and I suddenly become very aware of the exquisite view of her breasts that I now have, each one pushing deliciously against the cotton of her blouse. The top two buttons are undone and I cannot help but gaze at the creamy skin of her cleavage.
My mouth seems incredibly dry and I stumble over my words. "Really?"
She moves closer still and her lips caress my ear, murmuring to me. "Uh-huh. I spend every lecture just watching you, thinking about what it would be like to touch you, to kiss you. I've wanted to introduce myself so many times."
I turn my head to look at her and suddenly our lips are together. A fiery heat pressed to my mouth, burning up all conscious thought till all that is left is the sensation of her lips on mine. After an eternity, she pulls away.
I open my eyes to see her staring back at me, completely unconcerned for who might be watching. Her brilliant green eyes sparkle with unconcealed mirth at my confusion. "Have you woken up yet?"
I struggle for words, completely undone by the way the world has twisted upside down in just a few seconds. It seems incredible that just a minute ago I was nearly falling asleep to the sounds of Databases II.
