"I just hope we don't have to do another group project. The last one was a disaster.
"Ugh, don't remind me. You know, I still think Sarah was lying. There was g on her Facebook or Twitter, and she didn't seem all that sad."
"Well, I wasn't going to call her out on a dead grandma."
Connor walked along with Kayla and Stacy, idly listening to their conversation. The trio had just finished lunch, and now the two girls were heading to class.
For me, it'll be the usual Tuesday afternoon routine of nap and then gym.
"Want to come with me to the library after class?" Stacy asked Kayla. "I need to look up some stuff for my thesis, and I'd like some company to keep from burning the place down."
"Sure. I should probably start doing that too. Looking up stuff, not burning the library down."
"Eh, you'd be doing everyone a favor. Then they could build something that doesn't look like a prison."
"True. I'd be a hero."
"You're done with class for the day, right?" Stacy asked Connor then.
Kayla answered before him.
"He'll probably take a nap and then go to the gym. That's his usual Tuesday afternoon schedule." He grinned at her, and then glanced over to Stacy.
"What she said."
The academic building the girls' class was in waited further down the path.
Kayla stopped just before the front door to give him a kiss.
"See you two at dinner?" he asked the duo.
"You got it," Kayla said.
"Enjoy your nap," Stacy added.
"You two enjoy your class."
They grimaced, and then turned to enter the building.
It took some restraint for Connor to keep his eyes from focusing on Kayla's ass, round and shapely as it was, especially in the leggings she was wearing.
Once she was out of sight, he continued to his dorm, the combination of lack of sleep and a hearty lunch making his eyelids feel heavy.
Sleep arrived almost as soon as he laid down.
The nap was restful, and he was tempted to forgo the gym today in exchange for a few more hours.
But his responsible side won out, so he heaved himself from his bed, and changed into an old t-shirt and gym shorts. The day had been chilly, but the fitness center was a short walk away.
I should check my email before I go. Just in case Professor Cabrera got back to me.
There was nothing from his academic advisor, but at the top of his inbox was an email from Isaiah.
The subject title was [Is this your girl?]. In the body was a link: [click here -- not a joke].
Raising an eyebrow, he typed a quick reply.
[Is this spam or something?]
After a few minutes, which he spent checking Twitter, he returned to his email, to find Isaiah's reply.
[Not a joke, dude. Click the link, watch the video, and tell me what you think.]
He frowned.
Isaiah had been his friend since grade school, and although he had strayed from religion at college, he was still loyal and dependable.
Connor clicked the link.
A new tab opened, so he clicked on it.
The name of the website was unfamiliar.
But a video began to load. Its title was 'Daddy Makes His Bitch Feel Better'.
What the fuck?
He immediately closed the tab and picked up his phone.
His anger got the better of him when Isaiah answered.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"Did you watch it?"
"No! Why would I watch it?! And what the fuck does 'is this my girl' mean? What are you trying to say, asshole?"
"Dude, just watch it."
"No! I can tell you right now that's not my girl. Seriously, not funny."
"Just watch the video. Please. Trust me, man."
Connor hesitated.
It struck him then that his usually irreverent friend had not sounded so serious in a long time.
Not since his grandma's funeral.
"Dude. Trust me on this. I'm not joking, I wouldn't do that to you. I want to know if I'm wrong. I hope I am. Watch the video and call me back."
With that, Isaiah hung up.
Connor thought for a little while.
If he is joking, he is very committed.
The link stared back at him.
This isn't her. It's some girl who looks like her.
He clicked on the link.
Again, a new tab opened, so he clicked on it.
'Daddy Makes His Bitch Feel Better' started to load, and then began to play.
His heart dropped.
A girl who looked exactly like Kayla was sitting on a nondescript bed, wearing a pink and white striped t-shirt, and black jean shorts.
Kayla has a pink and white striped t-shirt. And black jean shorts.
The camera was focused on Not-Kayla. A slight pout gave her a forlorn expression.
"What's wrong?" a deep voice asked from behind the camera.
She sighed dramatically.
When she spoke, Connor felt his heart drop lower.
"I've had a long day," she complained, her voice a perfect match for his girlfriend's.
"Do you want Daddy to make you feel better?" the deep voice asked.
Her eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly.
"Please, Daddy. No one can make me feel good like you can."
What the fuck?
"Alright, then. Take off your clothes."
Not-Kayla crossed her arms, a blush coloring her cheeks now.
"I'm shy," she whined.
