I all but skipped to chem. Twice now Charles had made it clear he found me attractive. I wasn't going to pretend it didn't put a skip in my step. I walked into class and sidled down beside Joey, not so patiently waiting for class to start. Little by little my classmates began to arrive looking bleary eyed and bored. I suppose I'd look the same if not for my excitement over Charles.
Class passed by rather uneventfully. I decided to lay low today, just taking notes and gossiping with Joey. I didn't want to come off like I was throwing myself at him, even if that was exactly what I was doing. The class let out a communal groan at the announcement that we would start reviewing for the midterm tomorrow. On the bright side I knew that meant about half the class just wouldn't show up. Maybe I could get some more one on one time with Charles. I smiled at the thought.
"Now before you go class, I have an announcement," Professor Xavier said as I paused packing up my bag. "I could use an assistant to help me out during my office hours as I'm swamped with work and there simply are not enough hours in the day for it. If any of you are free and would consider taking on the job, please come see me today during said office hours."
"Would we get paid for it?" asked a stoner from the back.
"I'm afraid not," Charles answered reluctantly. There went half of the candidates. Charles' office hours were fairly late. Most of the students would rather spend their time going out then than helping the school's headmaster accomplish mundane tasks. That said, I figured it was worth my social life for a chance to spend evenings alone with Charles.
Surprisingly, Logan's class went by well. I didn't have to do any extraordinarily exhausting exercises and he kept his yelling to a minimum. I couldn't help but wonder what made him so cheerful. Okay, so cheerful was the wrong word for it but for Logan this was cheerful! I shrugged it off willing to accept whatever sort of stroke of luck I was having on this wonderful day. I made my way quickly to Professor Lehnsherr's class bursting at the seams to tell Annie what happened between me and Charles and to speculate what might happen if I became his new assistant. Unfortunately, my plans were to be changed.
Not only was Annie not in class but it seemed as though Erik had deemed to take the day off as well. "What a coincidence," I thought knowing full well this meant Annie was off having hot sex with one of the school's most wanted professors. I suppressed a pang of jealousy at her good fortune. If I got my way soon I too would be bedding a hot professor. Begrudgingly, I sat down as the substitute had already layed eyes on me. Well this would be fun. Did this lady even know any German? She looked ancient!
"Annie couldn't have warned me Erik wasn't coming in," I thought slightly annoyed as the tottering old woman went over introductory German that I already knew backwards and forwards. This would be a long class.
After what felt like an eternity, class let out. I killed a few hours doing small tasks like homework and straightening up the room. Around 4:30 I called Annie. After two rings, she picked up.
"Hello?"
"Oh, look who picked up the phone!" I said in mock surprise. "I thought you didn't want to know me anymore," I laughed.
"I've been busy," she chided.
"I'm sure. With Erik's cock!" I teased. "Anyway, I have news. Please tell me you can meet me for dinner. I haven't seen you in a kagillion years!"
"Meg, you saw me less than a week ago."
"I know and that's long for us," I whined.
"I'll be down in 15 minutes," she laughed. Smiling, I hung up the phone and headed down to the dining hall. I greeted Annie with a colossal hug.
"I missed you lady!"
"I missed you too, you turd! Now tell me this news," she said excitedly sitting across from me. I relayed her the story about what took place after chem and after my shower.
"See! I told you he'd fuck you!" she shouted.
"Shh!" I hissed, looking over at the teacher's area to assure he wasn't there. "One, no one is supposed to know that happened and two, he hasn't fucked me …. yet."
"Oh but he will. You gave him a boner, Meg. He wants your coslapus! You just need him to act on it!"
"That's the hard part," I sighed. "But he needs an assistant for his office hours so maybe there's hope. I figure no one's going to want to volunteer for someone that late."
"He's going to bend you over a barrel and show you all 50 states," she joked. The rest of dinner went by with more laughing and catching up and before long we bid each other goodbye before I headed up to Professor Xavier's office.
I knocked gently, hoping no one had already taken him up on his offer already. The door creaked open and Charles raised an eyebrow amused.
"How did I know you would be the first one to sign up?" he chuckled.
"Over achiever," I joked knowing he and I both knew the reason I was there.
"I'm not entirely too sure this would be the best idea Ms. Black."
"Why not? I'd get the work done. You see me in chem. You can't say I'm a bad student," I fired back. He looked torn. He couldn't exactly turn me away but his better judgment was probably right to be a bit wary of my intentions.
"As much as I'd love to jump your bones professor, I'm here for the job," I said bluntly to get a rise out of him. It seemed to do the job as he choked a bit before regaining his composure.
"Let's just see if anyone else shows up first," he said avoiding looking at me.
"Fair enough," I said making myself comfortable in one of the chairs across from his desk. After a moment or two he looked up.
"Surely you're not going to sit here for the whole two hours."
"Would you rather I go?" I said placing my hand on my bag. "Besides, I thought the job description would require me to stay the full two hours in the future."
"Fair enough," he countered. He worked in silence for a good hour before glancing up again. I paused in playing angry birds and looked up.
"It would appear as if no one is coming Ms. Black," he said glancing at the clock which read 9 PM. "I supposed the job is yours."
I beamed. "Thank you Professor. Would you like me to assist you in any way?" I said putting my phone back in my pocket and really hoping he would assume I meant in any way.
"It's quite alright Megan. You can start tomorrow," he said chuckling at my excitement.
"Okay, thank you again," I said gathering up my things and walking to the door. "And I don't know if you caught it but you called me Megan," I said smiling. "Now was that so hard Professor?" I said before walking out the door, secretly hoping that something was hard for him.
