Reid rolled over, his eyes opening to catch a glimpse at the clock on his bedside table and close again as he settled back down into the inviting warmth of the bed. Seconds later his eyes flew open and he threw the covers off. "Shit!" He exclaimed, rushing off to the bathroom and grabbing clothes as he went.
20 minutes later, Reid entered a vast classroom slamming the door closed behind him. His hair was still wet from his shower and his clothes clung to him like a second skin. He looked up to find at least 130 pairs of eyes staring at him, some in amusement, most in irritation.
The professor was the first to speak. "Ah, Mr. Garwin, so nice of you to finally grace us with your presence. It's only 45 minutes into the first lesson of the semester but may I say that you're off to an impeccable start." He said with a look of distain on his face.
Reid sighed and bit the inside of his cheek to prevent himself from saying anything to make the situation worse. "You're absolutely right, sir. I'm sorry Professor Andrews, it won't happen again."
"Find a seat." He ordered, turning back to his lecture notes and picking up where he left off before Reid barged in and interrupted him.
Reid scanned the room and spotted an open chair in the middle of the crowded classroom. He hastily made his way to the open seat, once he situated himself he took the rare opportunity to take in his surroundings and the people around him. Most of his classmates were fairly ordinary; books open, notes being written, plain clothes and hands shooting into the air when a question was asked.
To his left, was a stuffy looking student; the kind you found yourself wanting to cheat off of but also couldn't stand for their innate ability to be a devote ass kisser. He was dressed in a button down shirt, tie, black dress slacks all hand pressed no doubt and completed with a pair of shiny dress shoes.
To his right, sat what he could only describe as sex with legs. Black 4-inch pumps started the journey up a pair of tanned legs that seemed to go on forever. Stopping just above her knees was an equally black pencil skirt which hugged thighs Reid could only dream of reaching out to touch. Further up was a white sleeveless silk blouse. A smooth slender neck led up a round face with pink pouty lips, a button nose, and warm brown eyes with honey colors flecks and dark brown hair that if he was guessing correctly went well past her ass but was unfortunately pinned up in a messy up-do.
He smiled. "Hi, I'm Reid, Reid Garwin." He said, holding out his hand for her to take.
She didn't even look his way as she replied, "Not interested."
Reid frowned, lowering his hand but the smile was back in place within seconds as he settled into his desk and looked at her once more, "You will be." He promised.
This time she did look his way, only his attention was on his papers as he began taking notes and her window to retort had quickly closed. She returned to her own note-taking, however, Reid's words became cemented in her mind.
At the end of the lecture, a whole 3 hours later, Reid was hot on the heels of the infinite legs that had captured his attention and was almost to the door when suddenly, "Mr. Garwin! A word?"
A string of curses were muttered under his breath as he watched her curvy sashaying hips disappear within the masses. Turning to face his new professor, he didn't even bother trying to hide his irritation. "You bellowed, sir?"
Professor Andrews smiled. "Mr. Garwin, there's only so much money can buy. A passing grade in my class will not be one of those things. So I suggest you spend less time chasing tail and more time embracing your studies. On that note, my niece is off limits, Mr. Garwin. She's marked for greatness to which does not involve the likes of you. See to it you remember you place."
If Reid was shocked he his emotions with impeccable grace and practiced skill. He smirked, "How would you like that made, sir? Black? Cream? Couple cubes of kiss my ass?"
Professor Andrews sputtered, his face turning scarlet and then purple. "Now see here-!"
Reid smiled, already halfway through the door. "Have a great day, Professor! See you next week!" He called over his shoulder.
He took his time walking through the halls of several buildings. He asked anyone if they'd seen her. Most thought he was delusional. Others (mostly girls) thought it was cute and took pity on him.
One hour, 36 "Wrong room, sorry!" and two cups of blonde roast coffee later found him standing directly behind her. She was furiously scratching away at a large piece of paper about 24x36 with charcoal, trying to capture her subject before time ran out.
Her subject was… naked. There was a naked girl standing in the middle of the room on a platform!
How did he not know a class like this existed before now?
"You draw naked people?" He looked around for the voice who so completely spoke his very own thoughts only to find her, the naked girl, her classmates and professor all staring at him.
"Shit, I said that out loud?" He asked, grinning. She could only nod in shock, probably still reeling from the fact that he'd actually found her at all. Especially in such a short amount of time.
Seeming to snap out of her shock she suddenly glared at him, "What the hell are you doing here?"
He smiled, "I came to ask you out to dinner on Saturday."
She frowned, "I already told you, I'm not interested. Now please go away."
His smile only seemed to grow. It was his smile that made her suspicious. "Really? Well, I'm not leaving until I get a yes.." He paused, taking a moment to jump onto a table. "The longer you take to say yes, the more clothing I'll take off."
At this announcement the following 3 things happened:
Her 50 year old professor nearly fainted and had to be helped into a chair.Every female student in the class swiveled their easels to face him and began fighting over the best spot.The girl in question lunged forward, knocking two of her peers down just in time to grab the hem of his shirt before he could pull it up."Stop!" She pleaded.
"Say you'll go out with me and I will gladly leave."
"Promise?"
"Scouts Honor." He swore, placing his left hand over his heart and his right hand in a three finger salute.
They stared each other down for what seemed like forever before she finally cracked.
"Fine! Saturday, six 'o clock. Room 215. Do NOT be late." She warned.
Reid smiled, triumph at last. A chorus of disappointed onlookers filled the room as he hopped off the table, clothed as promised. As he strode towards the door, he stopped as he remembered something. "Wait, I never got your name."
"Sophie." She said, turning to face him once more.
"You have a very beautiful name, Sophie." He replied, it made her blush. He smiled, turned and finally left. She couldn't explain why but a part of her couldn't wait for Saturday while the other part, the rational part, was trying to convince her that this was a bad idea.
