"Okay, next one."
Rose rubs Trevor's shoulder, leaning close to him. Her big tits press against him.
She looks down at the book. They're at her kitchen island on a Wednesday night. Gina is at Rose's ex.
Trevor frowns. "It's aβwhat's the word they use?βan approximation which helps us model and predict the behavior of real gasses."
Rose nods. "And now the tough part."
"Uh-oh," Trevor says.
"The Ideal Gas Law."
"I know this one," he says. "There are two parts. The first is that ideal gas particles don't attract or repel each other. The second is how ideal gas molecules take up no volume."
"Correct," Rose says.
"You see, that's what I don't get. How can it have no volume? The molecules are matter, aren't they?"
Rose explains it to him again, choosing different words to get the concept across. He's starting to understand. Rose wants to be sure, though, and makes him work out formulas and problems for the next twenty minutes.
"I can't study anymore," Trevor says, holding his temples in his hands.
Rose massages his shoulders. "You're doing great, babe. You're going to destroy this exam."
"Does this mean we're done?" He looks up, hope in his dark eyes.
The poor boy's worn out. He's had a full day of classes, a half shift at Occhiobello, now Rose tutoring him in Chemistry.
"It means we can take a break," Rose says. "I'm going to have a glass of wine. Would you like a beer?"
"Yes, please." He closes his notebook. "This is the hardest course I've ever taken. I thought Bio was rough."
"You'll get through it." Rose pours herself wine and retrieves a beer out of the fridge. "There's only two ways to
genuinely
pass a hard course. Be a genius at it or work your ass off. Cheating isn't an option for you. If you're going to earn the privilege of being a nurse, people's lives are in your hands."
"So I need to work my ass off." Trevor sits up. He's wearing his black Occhiobello's t-shirt along with jeans. Looking cute as hell to Rose.
"You're plenty smart." Rose puts her hand on his shoulder again and hands him his beer. She kisses his cheek. "Chemistry doesn't come easy to most people."
"I wish I'd tried harder in high school. I should've studied, should've paid attention." He shakes his head. "Fifteen year old me wouldn't believe I just said that."
"We all eventually say things our fifteen year old selves wouldn't believe."
"I bet you were an excellent student." He looks at her and smiles.
Valedictorian
. "I did okay. But enough about me. How's your life going, besides working your butt off?"
"Things are good." He pauses. "There's something else. It's weird telling you."
"Sweetie, I'd say we're past formalities." She takes a sip of wine. "You've had your dick inside me. We can talk frankly."
"I went out Saturday night with a girl from one of my classes," he says.
Rose's face breaks out in a huge grin. "Tell me everything!"
"You don't think it's strange?" Trevor says. "You want to hear about this other girl?"
"Sweetie," she says. "What've I told you? What we have is all about fun. Friendship and fun. And tutoring you in science. I don't expect you to give up all romantic pursuits because we fucked."
Trevor gives her a boyish smile. "I wish every guy my age had a lady like you in his life."
"So do I, sweetie. Now tell me about her."
"Her name is Susanne," he says. "I had a class with her last semester. I saw her in the student center eating lunch last week and went up and asked if I could join her."
Rose nods. "Good move. Casual, low-stakes."
"We got to talking and she's really cool," he says.
"Go on," Rose says. "Every detail, please."
"I don't know where to begin," he says. "Let's see. She's my type. I think you know what I mean. A BBW."
"Excellent," Rose says.
"She's got it all. Pretty face. Plenty of curves everywhere."
"I like what I'm hearing."
"It's too strange talking to you like this," Trevor says.
"Don't you worry," Rose says. "Go on."
"She's got pink hair and a nose ring."
"I like her already," Rose says.
"She's got a Harley Quinn tattoo on one calf," he says. "I don't know if she has any others."
"I like her even more. And I bet you'd like to find out if there's other tattoos."
Trevor laughs. "Yeah. She's so cool, too. She's smart, she's funny."
"The date went well, I take it?"
"I took her to dinner. Luigi's."
"Good choice," Rose says.
He takes another sip of beer. "We had a great time. We have a lot in common."
"How far did you get?"
Trevor smiles, looking down. "We made out in my car when I dropped her off."
"When are you seeing her again?"
"Friday. After the exam."
"I'm so happy for you," Rose puts her hand on his forearm. "Now that you've met Susanne, does it mean you're not interested in fooling around tonight?"
"No, I'm up for that," Trevor says.
Rose can't suppress a smirk.
Big shock.
"It's only been one date," he says. "I didn't ask her to be my girlfriend or anything. But if we do start dating I don't think she'll want our thing to continue."
"And that'll be fine," Rose says. "In the meantime, you're unattached and mine for the evening."
Rose slides closer to him. She runs her hands up his shoulder. He turns towards her and she peers into his deep brown eyes.
They kiss, softly at first. Trevor's mouth opens and Rose's tongue pushes forward into it. Tongues twirl, bodies pressing against one another.
Trevor withdraws.
"What's wrong?" Rose asks.
"I've been on my feet all day. School, work. I haven't showered since last night. I feel gross."
"We can fix that." Rose gives him another kiss. "Why don't you take a shower? This way you'll feel comfortable."
"That'd be perfect," he says.
Rose takes him by the hand. "I hope you don't mind lavender-scented soap."
