Robert is in the business school and takes that very seriously. In fact we met in a business course my first semester in school. Robert was the teaching assistant in my subgroup. My mind goes back to that day just 3 months ago. Me, kind of prissy and conceited, dressed like I thought a college girl should dress with a cute swirly skirt and nice sweater. Not like the other sluts in my dorm who affected the dressed down, slightly trampy, above it all style. I wanted to be different, to have my own style I guess. I've never been conceited about my looks which are just ok I guess. People say I have a nice butt and Robert told me after the first time that I had great lips for giving head. But I'm kind of a plain Jane I think, with however a body that boys like since I'm slender (fucking Robert and those 10 pounds!), feminine and soft, and have a nice ass according to my closest girlfriends who always say how much they envy it. Anyhow I was a little conceited because of my grades and my brain and the fact that the professor had let me – a baby faced freshman – take a class usually reserved for juniors and seniors.
I got to the first day of class 15 minutes early. Despite that every seat in a hall with about 100 students seemed to be filled and I was feeling lost and stupid till I saw this big black guy waving at me from the front of the classroom. I must have panicked because for a second I thought he was waving me away – like throwing me out on my first day. But then I saw he had a big smile on his face and was calling me down front. When I got there I immediately saw the really cute blonde girl sitting beside him starting to pout.
Robert: "Are you lost?"
Me: "No I just can't find a spot. I think the seats are full."
Master of the obvious right there. I glanced at the blonde who was for some reason shooting me daggers. God she was pretty. But what had I done? Robert turned to her casually and said "Carolyn why don't you be a peach and give... what was your name?"
Me: "Kayla."
Him: "Yeah Carolyn could you give your seat to Kayla – I don't think you'll be needing it today."
I started to object on her behalf but Robert put his hand on my arm to stop me and Carolyn stood and huffed out with a "Whatever Robert" and was gone. So I sat. I mumbled out a thanks.
I realized immediately that my arm was tingling from his touch and I started to blush a little at the thought that a man's touch – especially a black man's touch – could have such an effect on me. Robert: "I find we need to take good care of the younger students in this class – the seniors will eat you alive without some adult supervision around here."
He laughed. I grinned at this and took a good look. How did he know I was younger? He was one of those handsome but kind of rugged and not too handsome guys. Very masculine. Very composed. Very well dressed. Very black – like coal-black as my grandma used to say about some of the men in our little town. It suddenly came to me that he might be the professor in the class. I was afraid to ask. His attention had wandered to the front of the room and soon the real professor came bounding on stage and started talking a mile a minute. My arm still tingled and I had to remind myself to get a notebook out and start writing.
Early on the professor said that there were 5 teaching assistants assigned to the course and that each student would meet with a TA once per week. He then went on to introduce the TAs – one of whom of course was Robert. Robert stood at his introduction along with the other TAs and as he rose above me and I got a much better view of just how tall and hard he looked under the Ivy League type jacket and the expensive looking trousers. Whew! Slow down girl or the tingling in your arm is going to spread. I started day dreaming about him and wondered if I'd be in his section.
When class ended Robert said a quick 'Bye' and disappeared towards the professor. I joined the mob to see the section assignments. My luck I found myself listed under the name of a dikey looking woman introduced to us earlier as Ramona. I turned right into Robert as I started to leave and again his hand came out on my forearm to steady me. It seemed even then as though he was assuming all navigation of my body.
"So who'd you get?"
"Looks like I'm in Ramona's section."
He laughed and said "Good for you! Ramona loves the girls!" I knew he was joking but it made me nervous anyway. With that he was off again and I went back to the dorm.
