"So you liked my parents okay?"

"Your parents are fantastic. And I appreciated that they tried to ignore the fact that we're, well...you know."

"Banging?"

"You're very eloquent with your words, Miss Taylor." He flashed me one of his smiles that made my knees weak.

"Are you going to get in trouble for canceling so many of your classes?"

"I haven't canceled that many classes."

"You cancel class all the time."

Professor Hunter laughed. "Well, no one has said anything to me yet. I doubt any students would complain about having more free time."

"True. But I really do feel better. Maybe we should both go to class tomorrow."

"The doctor specifically said to take tomorrow off."

"I know. But I've been skipping class a lot recently. And when I went I barely paid attention."

"I noticed."

I bit my lip and looked out the window. "I'm going to fail statistics. I've never failed a class in my life."

"Then why do you think you're going to fail?"

I looked back at him. "My Stat professor has a really thick accent and it's hard to understand him. I was teaching myself by reading the book but I was so unmotivated recently that I've fallen really far behind. And there's a test next week. And I don't even understand why I'm bad at it. I was great at math in high school. I took A.P. Calculus and I never had a problem."

"It's more business oriented than math oriented."

I laughed. "I guess I suck at business then. That's not great for the major I chose. Either way, I think I need to hire a tutor."

"I can tutor you."

"In Stat? You're a marketing professor."

Professor Hunter laughed. "So you really haven't read that much about me online then?"

"Not much, no. Are you secretly a statistics expert?"

He laughed again. "No, I wouldn't say that. But it is your lucky day, because you're dating a genius."

"I know that you're intelligent, but you took Stat ages ago. You're forgetting that you're an old man."

"Do you want my help or not?"

I laughed. "Yes."

"Good. You're definitely not going to fail Stat."

"That's very sweet of you to take such an interest in my education, professor."

"I have selfish motivations."

"And what are those?"

"I don't like to see you upset. And I'm pretty sure you'd be upset if you failed a class."
