My friend Travis has called last night after not seeing each other for almost a month and the first words I get: "I'm about to bang my English professor." With great haste I schedule a meet up so I can get the juicy details.
We catch up at our favorite diner spot since high school. I ordered blueberry pancakes with turkey bacon on the side, Travis got cinnamon pancakes with sausage and scrambled eggs. I told him about my new film that I’m writing about to explore my crippling anxieties of becoming an artist. Then he told me about how he is secretly flirting with his English professor to get him an A in class.
Her name is Linda Foster, a graduate from a New England Ivy League university who now teaches at NYU and Travis’ Writing and Research course. He first explained to me her slim figure and small stature. She comes into class with an informal yet sophisticated attire that draws Travis’ attention easily. Every time she starts class she bends over to pull down the projector screen, visibly displaying her rear to Travis that is in the front row. During the third week of class, he decided to make a move.
As I’m killin’ it with these blueberry pancakes, I look over to Travis and see has stopped his story. I ask him if he’s okay andthen he responds, “Bro she just texted me” while looking at his phone.
“Hold on, how does she have your number?” I ask him.
“Oh, yeah, so anyway. I go to her during her office hours. Mind you she’s an adjunct so her office is way down on the lower level so I was a little lost. I get to her office and she’s sitting there with her two buttons undone looking at her laptop. Say hi and tell her about the homework I have been missing. You know what this lady said? She said that it’s understandable since she was in my situation not too long ago. I’m guessing she’s like early 30s. God she’s so bad!”
He says that she assured him that as long as he gets his assignments in on time there would be nothing to worry about. Then she gave him her number and said, “If there’s anything you need just give me a call.” She gave a little wink when she did that and to him it could only mean one thing: she wants to talk to him about homework intensively.
