Author's Note (Monster): Hi guys! Double update today because this one hadn't been updated in a year and a half! I'm gonna try to set up a plan for this story but the next update will take a long time because this story is not my main focus right now. Anyway, I made a hard decision to change this story from the First person POV to Third person POV and I did this for several reasons;
1. I don't like writing smut in first POV and I do want MML to have at least one smut scene, preferably multiple over the course of the story
2. I used to do first POV because I believed it made the experience more personal and more with an insight into the main character's head but lately I've been doing exactly that for the third POV in all of my stories so first POV has died down in my stories.
3. No shade to anyone who likes to write in first POV but I feel like it has a very... diary kind of feel. This was okay for Puzzle The Pieces because well (SPOILER) the whole story was Danny writing his story down. But I don't like it anymore.
That being said, here's my very late update. Reply to a review below. Enjoy!
Previously on Make Me Levitate;
Danny took over the Anthony's shift at the bar who seemed to be sick a lot lately. While he's at it, he finds Jorel at the bar, waiting to ask out Vanessa because George forced him to. In the end, Vanessa agrees and Charlie gives him her number.
George skimmed through cd's, eyebrows furrowed as he couldn't make up his mind. He held up one of the cd's and tried to look for a song but when it wasn't there, he put it down again. He was sitting on the floor of his apartment, trying to find that one thirties song to interest his students with. He really had to sort his cd's sometimes.
A knock on the front door brought him back to reality. He looked at the clock. He didn't have to give any class today and it was way after office hours, too, so he went home, thinking he still had a few hours before Jorel would show up. Turned out time passed a lot faster than he had expected it to.
George scurried upright, hid the cd's back in the closet and opened the door to find Jorel grinning at him. "Where were you all day yesterday?!"
Hiding in the embarrassment of having seen Danny in class for the first time? George thought but he kept the idea to himself.
"Hello to you too", he muttered as Jorel walked past him towards the kitchen right away. He opened a cupboard and hummed as his eyes skimmed over the contents. George rolled his eyes. Jorel was always looking for food at his place like it were his own. Jorel made an enthusiastic sound when he found a bag of chips, ripped it open and emptied it into a huge bowl before he walked up to the couch. "So tell me", he sat down, "Where were you all day?"
"Working on preparations for the next class and working on my proposal for the schoolboard. Have you seen mr. Stump yet?"
"No", Jorel sighed. "It's like we're playing hide and seek and I fucking suck at the seek part."
George chuckled. "It's alright. It'll be a while until the schoolboard holds a meeting like that again anyway so right now I'll just work on it as if I gotta present it next month."
"Good goal", Jorel said. "Oh yeah, I saw Danny and Vanessa last night."
George froze. "Oh yeah. I gotta tell you something about Danny…"
"And I gotta tell you something about Vanessa", Jorel said, wriggling his eyebrows. George raised an eyebrow. "Do tell."
"No, you go first."
"No. You", George urged him but Jorel stared at him blankly as he shoved a handful of chips in his mouth. He tried to speak but shrugged and made a gesture towards his mouth.
"I know you filled your mouth on purpose so I'd have to talk first, Jorel. I'm waiting until you're done chewing because you're telling me first. If I tell you first, you'll explode and forget to tell me about Vanessa."
"Really?" he asked after swallowing. "Alright then. I asked her out and she said yes!"
"She did?!" George asked and he nodded. "We're going out for dinner Friday at seven."
"Fuck, awesome!" George cheered for him and Jorel couldn't stop smiling. George was really fucking happy for him. Jorel deserved this. "Anyway, what's up with Danny? Wanna tell me how you fell in love with him too?"
"What? Fuck no. Danny's one of my students!" George called out but Jorel laughed. "We've been through this, George. He's the age of one of your students but he's legal."
"No, I'm serious", George said. "He's one of the new batch of students this week and he's in my Music History class!"
"Shut up", Jorel said. "He is?!"
"Yeah. Daniel Murillo, majoring in Vocal Performance", George said. Yes, he'd been reading into his documents a little more because he was dying to find out if Danny were an actual student of his or just there to mock him.
Jorel laughed. "Vocal Performance. He sure got an A for that every time you slept with him, didn't he?"
"Dude", George complained.
"I know! It's my best joke yet!"
"God, you're awful", George smirked.
"Wait, wait, I can come up with a better one, give me a minute!" Jorel called out, thinking hard but George held up a hand. "Just shut up, dude."
"Right, we should get going."
He finished the bowl of chips and George frowned as he put it on the coffee table. "Seriously? You're not even gonna put it in the dishwasher?"
"You got a dishwasher? Fucking lucky bitch", Jorel said. "Anyway, where do you wanna go tonight?"
"This again?" George asked. "I thought you knew where to go!"
Jorel got up, took the empty bowl and put it in the kitchen. George gave him a look, just a hard stare until Jorel rolled his eyes and picked up the bowl to put it into the dishwasher. "Happy?"
"It goes in the bottom part", George complained.
Jorel bit his tongue but it slipped out anyway; "Is that what you said to Danny when you fucked his young ass for the first time?"
"DUDE" George called out.
Jorel laughed at his own joke. "I told you I had a better one brewing."
"I hate you", George said. "But do put the bowl on the bottom part."
"Dress-up, kinky", Jorel grinned but he put the bowl where it was supposed to go before gesturing at it. "Nice, right?"
"After I told you about four times."
"Three", Jorel corrected. "I'm not a monster."
George rolled his eyes, feeling like his eyes would be stuck in the back of his skull one day with this man. Jorel shrugged. "Anyway, what are you gonna do about Danny?"
"I have no idea", George sighed. "I fucked one of my students."
"You fucked Danny and he became one of your students", Jorel corrected but George threw up his hands in frustration. "I know but that is not what this looks like, is it? If anyone finds out Danny and I have hooked up before, then I'll be known as the professor who fucked his student."
"For extra credit", Jorel grinned.
George glared at him and Jorel's grin melted. "Hey, come on. No one's gonna find out. It's not like professors enter the cafeteria like "What up, George, where has your dick been last night?" or anything."
"I know", George groaned. "But still. I probably shouldn't fuck him again. I think I'm quitting the Hit & Quit."
"What?" Jorel whined. "But you can just ask for another person?"
"Nah, man", George shrugged. "Wouldn't want to have fucked another student of mine."
Jorel made a face. "Those chances are tiny. But not wanting someone else, kinda makes it seem like you like Danny, dude."
"What? No", George huffed. "I'm not you, dude. I just had a preference but I'm gonna quit seeing him. Already cancelled last time after we had class together for the first time."
"You might even miss that ass", Jorel suggested.
George shook his head. "Don't be ridiculous. Plenty of ass in the sea."
Please review, they're my fuel!
Rottenmelon: The sharpening of that knife is a comment I read tons of times when checking for new reviews lmao. It's awesome. "Stay safe & take care" has never been more needed than in times like these. You too.
