Page 39 of Pleasuring Professor Pisces
A young couple who lived across the hall from her got out of their car with takeout in their hands.
“Hey.” The guy greeted me as the girl nodded.
“Hey.”
“Are you looking for the professor?” the girl asked just as they were passing me by.
“Yeah. You’ve seen her?”
“About an hour and a half ago. She was heading to her car,” the girl shared.
“Did she look to be okay?” I asked.
The guy shook his head. “Her eyes were red, and she had a carry-on bag. I figured she was going on a trip somewhere.”
“Thanks, G.”
“No problem,” he stated, and they walked off.
I spun around in circles, trying to figure out my next move. I was stumped.
“Fuck!” I yelled and punched the air.
“In some ways,that was the best thing that you could ever have done,” Mama stated as she set a bowl of chili and crackers down in front of me.
I was sitting with my legs crossed and folded on the couch in the family room in my pajamas.
“You put up with that foolishness for far too long,” my sister, Primrose, chimed in.
“I was just trying to do my job. I didn’t feel like I should be pushed out of there and have my reputation ruined over a lie. I did nothing wrong.”
“You didn’t, Koi, but you should have sued them and still left. Kalvin told you that you had a case,” Primrose stated, referencing her husband.
“It would have been messy, and you know I don’t like confrontation and confusion.”
“Baby, sometimes you have to draw the line in the sand and fight your fight. To hell with all the rest of that stuff,” Mama advised.
When I was called into the dean’s office right after my second class, I knew there was an issue. It was only a matter of time. I also knew they had probably been watching the cameras in my class and saw how Salem interacted with me.
The minute Dean Prather mentioned that there were some concerns about me being involved with another student, I grew angry. He stated that he believed that I was innocent before, but he had to go through the motions. He told me that with a second allegation arising, he wasn’t so certain.
I told him that I refused to go through this again, and I would be handing in my resignation. I went home, packed, and called Chelsea. When we finished talking and she had calmed me down from my crying session, my next call was to my mama while I was already on the road.
I couldn’t call my mama while I was crying. She would have pulled my daddy and big brother, Mason, from whatever they were doing and had them ready to come and get me.
“I know, Mama. But I had a point to prove. This time, I feel like I have nothing to prove. In some ways, it was a relief walking off that campus on my terms.”
“What about this boy?” Mama asked.
“He’s not a boy. He’s a man.”
“Mmph. He’s a man,” Primrose teased and chuckled.
“Shut up,” I stated, shoving her. “He’s five years younger than me, but still.”
“Girl, he’s a baby,” Primrose countered. She is twelve years older than I am and seventeen years older than Salem, so I could see how she might think that.
“Do you love him?”
