"Only recently."
James tightened his grip on my arm.
Rob laughed again. "She's funny. And young. You look really young. How old are you?"
"20."
Rob stared at me for a second and then looked back up at James. "Oh shit! Don't even say it. She's your student, isn't she? Oh my God, this is golden. The perfect son is fucking one of his students? I love it. Do Mom and Dad know?"
"Okay, we need to talk for a second." James let go of my shoulder and walked toward the living room, grabbing Rob's arm on the way.
"Does he get mad at you a lot too?" Rob yelled over his shoulder. "I bet that makes things exciting in bed."
"Shut up," James said.
That was the last thing I heard. I knew that James was embarrassed. But I liked Rob. He seemed so carefree. I thought he'd be a good influence on James. And James described him really well. Fun was the perfect word.
I sat down at the counter and picked up a slice of pizza. It was well past lunchtime now and I was starving. I had finished my slice by the time they walked back into the kitchen.
"Ugh, I have to share my pizza with her too? This is the worst." Rob laughed and sat down next to me. "Just kidding. Have all the pizza that you want. James caught me up on the whole illicit student professor affair thing. So apparently now I won't say anything that will embarrass him. And I'm sorry that I thought you were a prostitute."
"It's fine," I laughed.
"Thanks for helping get the troll back under her bridge. I owe you one. I tried to get rid of her for years. But I just made fun of her all the time. She was so stuck up. She always had the craziest reactions to stuff. If I had mistaken her for a hooker, I'm pretty sure she would have had a heart attack. I always thought I'd be the one to make her run screaming. I'm sure sucking her husband's cock made it easier for you to be victorious, though."
"What did we just talk about?" James said.
"Dude, chill. I'm sure Penny and I are on the same page here."
I started laughing. James was right. Rob was like the exact opposite of him. I wasn't even sure how two people so different could be related. But they were cute together. They balanced each other out somehow. I liked seeing James out of his element. If he couldn't control me, he definitely couldn't control Rob.
"See, she thinks I'm funny." He grabbed another slice of pizza. "So what do you two usually do on a Friday night?"
“Last Friday night we went to a Halloween party. And James ended up punching one of my friends in the face." I decided to leave off the fact that I had wound up in the hospital. It was a better story without it.
James pressed his lips together.
Rob laughed. "Sounds fun. I bet we could find a good Halloween party to go to tonight."
"Or we can stay in. Penny and I have been practicing what it would be like if we were under house arrest."
"That sounds awful. Did you say you were only 20, Penny?"
"Yeah."
"So a bar is out. Crashing a college party it is." He rubbed his hands together.
"I think it's probably best if I stay away from college parties for a while," James said.
"Oh, because of the whole rapey thing?"
James made a face. "I need to go shower. Maybe you can give him a tour, Penny?"
"Sure."
"And stop saying inappropriate stuff to my girlfriend, Rob."
Rob shrugged. "I don't think I've even said anything that inappropriate."
