Later that evening, when I was doing homework with Gemma in the dining room, I received a text message from an unknown number. It read:
‘Hey, it's Marquise.’
I grinned and nibbled on my bottom lip. It was Professor Moore! Marquise was his first name.
"Who's got you smiling like that?" Gemma asked me. I blushed. What I wanted to say was the love of my life.
What I said instead was "oh just this guy."
"Ok? Who?" Gemma demanded impatiently. I frowned. I wasn't sure that I wanted to tell Gemma about Professor Moore..or should I say, Marquise. I liked that it was a secret.
"It's still very new, I'll tell you when it gets more serious," I told her. Gemma nodded understandingly and then returned her attention to her book. I texted back:
‘Marquise who?’
Just to be sure. He replied:
‘Marquise Moore’
So I wrote back:
‘???’
Inside I was laughing. He sent back:
‘From Figure Drawing 101’
And I said:
‘…’
So he said:
‘The man who you’ve been gifting panties to!’
So I wrote back:
‘Oh him! Hello Marquise :)’
I couldn’t help but laugh. He replied:
I want to see you.
I grinned and texted back
Want..or need?
He texted back:
Want..
I raised an eyebrow and typed back:
Then you'll see me in class tomorrow Professor Moore.
After that I turned off my phone and returned my attention to my homework. I noticed Gemma watching me out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't say anything.
The next day, I decided to wear something sexy to class. The temperature had dropped and I decided to wear something autumn inspired. I wore a short burgundy plaid skirt with a black sweater, black thigh highs and black booties. The sliver of thigh that showed between the top of the thigh highs and the bottom hem of the skirt was super sexy yet subtle. The sweater had a deep V-neck and showed off my perky cleavage. I decided to put my hair up in two messy pigtail buns. Around my neck, I wore a burgundy choker and I put on matching burgundy lip gloss. Before leaving for class, I gave myself a once-over in the mirror. Pleased with my reflection, I met Gemma in the living room so that we could walk to class together.
