Jareth got ready for his class. He packed his satchel with his assignments and papers he graded. He put on a pair of tight gray pants, an open flowy black shirt, his signet, and a pair of black leather biker boots. He decided to keep his hair long again, but more tame and tied up in a low messy bun. Jareth looked at Sarah through a crystal and saw she was safe and already on her way on campus. After putting the crystal away, he went outside to ride his motorcycle to the college. Sarah was on his mind the whole day. When she walked into class, she took his breath away. She was sporting a pair of blue jeans tight in the thighs with a belt cinching her waist, a tight light blue blouse that accentuated her chest, and her dark raven hair fell in waves down her back.
The bell rang and it was time for his lesson. He started lecturing and heard the girls in the back of the class ogle over how gorgeous how long his hair is now. He smirked when he heard Sarah snort after one girl whose name was Anastasia try to brag about how Professor Altesse has been watching her like a hawk and that "He wants me." Anastasia was a smart girl, but entirely dumb. She thought every man wanted her and she was beyond vain. Jareth caught her trying to make fun of Sarah for failing the class after Jareth asked her to stay behind. Little did Anastasia know that by no doing anything of his own, Sarah was top of the class and that he called her behind so he could kiss her senseless.
"Alright. Now, there's a test Friday and also I'm assigning a project. Write a poem in French. One about how you feel. Whether it be about someone you love or hate or it could be about yourself, even your cat. Whoever you want it to be, whatever you want. It just has to be about how YOU feel. It's due at the end of the semester in your last class with me . It will count towards 40% of your final grade.." Jareth spoke to the class and passed around papers on the guidelines about the project. When he reached Sarah's desk in the front, he gave her the paper face down so no one could see the note he left her about how he would ravage her tonight. "Class dismissed." He turned around to look at Sarah's flushed flame shooting daggers at him. He gave a 'come and get me grin' and went to pack up his belongings.
"Professor Altesse, could I talk to you more about the project?" Sarah went up to his desk and clutched her books to her chest.
"Of course Sarah. What is it?" Jareth asked, looking her up and down.
She waited for the students to leave before she kissed him. "Stop leaving notes on my papers. Someone could see and we'd both be in trouble."
"Fine. I'll just leave them on your door. And in your bag. And also in a crystal. I like leaving you notes. I like seeing your face when you read them." Jareth leaned against his desk and stared at her. He smiled when he saw her blush.
"Whatever. Just don't get us in trouble or I'll wish you to the bog." Sarah teased and stuck her tongue out.
"Oh before I forget, I have a gala I have to attend. It's for the school. Would you like to join me?" Jareth spole while he handed her an invitation.
"Uhmmmm Jare? Secret relationship? Illegal? Can't do it. People will know who I am. Nope no good. Can't do a thing." Sarah mocked the knockers from her run through the labyrinth trying to ease her stress about the situation.
"I could use my magic to hide you. So they don't realize it's you. But you'd have to wish it. I have no power over you. Please come? I don't want to listen to old boring men talk about their 'success.' I hated doing it back in Underground where I'm king and I hate doing it up here where I'm a professor." Jareth asked her and held her hand to his chest. "Please precious? I need you to keep me on my toes."
"Alright. When is it?" She gave in. His eyes were practically begging her. Those eyes made her melt like ice cream.
"It's in two months. Meet me in my apartment. I have just the dress for you." Jareth kissed her hand and practically beamed with joy. "Would you like a ride home Sarah? It's pointless for you to walk. We live in the same building."
"Sure. But let me walk off campus so no one sees. How about you meet me at the cafe by the water fountain?"
"As you wish. Be safe. Should you need me.."
"I'll call." Sarah smiled at him, this became their thing, he wanted her to know that he will be here to keep her safe and she wanted to let him know that she knew. It was like a secret 'I love you' without saying the words. Without her having to admit it.
