Cassandra Barton was pretty unremarkable at first glance. At least, that was her assumption. She was of average height - brown-skinned, long dreadlocks that she kept pulled back in a ponytail, and dressed fairly “under the radar.” Well, compared to the other students. Jeans, some nerdy t-shirt or the other; well worn purple converse, beat up leather messenger bag. Reading glasses when she spent too much time in front of the computer (all too often nowadays) - brown eyes, dark hair that the sun had bleached to a warm amber color, big gold hoop in her left nostril. Various sets of earrings.
Too arty for the more straight-laced academics, too much of an academic for the art kids, she was often a woman alone; working overtime in the library or helping her assigned professor grade papers. Not that she was complaining about that set up - actually being picked as a Teacher’s Assistant meant that a good chunk of her tuition went bye-bye. That meant that whatever money she made on the side -tutoring, slinging coffee, posing for the art classes once a week, whatever- could actually go to living expenses and paying off the loans for her undergrad degree. All in all, she couldn’t complain too much; she knew she had it a lot easier than most students.
Her problem, though, was her unrequited….thing (could it even be called that? More like a burning, “Please rip off my clothes and throw me against the stacks” unbridled lust) for her mentoring professor. Not that he’d notice her, being so unremarkable and all. And this was something that she occasionally lamented over her chai latte, with her one stripper roommate with the stage name of “Cristal” (like the champagne), and the innocuous real world name of Kate Morse, and the other roommate that was some sort of make up artist - all she really knew about him was that he kept odd hours and always had the most on point eyebrows she’d ever seen.
“Girl, you gotta tell him. This pining is killing you,” sniffed Kate, licking the whipped cream off of her -third- complimentary mocha. Kate was a slip of a girl - probably a brunette, originally. Once upon a time. Now, what remained of her hair was dyed bright pink, the sides of her head shaved. A myriad of piercings lined each ear, and she had mother of pearl earlobe plugs. Her eyebrows both sported studs, and a septum piercing rounded out her “face shrapnel”, as she affectionately called it. She wore a loose off the shoulder sweatshirt, the studs of her nipple piercings dotting the thin fabric, and the edge of an elegant chest piece. Ragged shorts and scuffed combat boots completed the look. On her right thin thigh was a Japanese style goldfish tattoo, and on the left thigh, a phoenix made of stylized Arabic rose out of an Persian-style set of flames.
Standing behind the counter, her chin in hand, Cassandra could only sigh. The coffee shop, “Reet Petite” (the owner had been a huge Jackie Wilson fan), was a popular hang out for the older crowd - grad students, business men and women. Everything that was unique to the place was named after an old song - for example, the “Mustang Sally” was the name of a particularly delicious panini topped with applewood bacon and smoky goat cheese. It was a cozy little hole in the wall, sitting snugly between a used book store on its left and a record store on the right. The interior was all old “upcycled” wood furnishings, found on dumpster dives, police auctions, shady friends. Potted plants hung from the ceilings, and in the back corner, a fish tank full of neon tetras and gold fish bubbled away.
“It’s not ‘pining.’ It’s…”
Kate raised a pierced eyebrow, took another long drag of her drink. “You want the d. in his Ph.d.s. Totally.”
“Didn’t say that I would turn it down if it were offered. Just that it will never ever be offered because look at me, for Christ’s sake. I'm an unmitigated walking disaster.” Cassandra gestured to her coffee-stained blue apron, her hair messily piled atop her head, held back with a red bandana. Her jeans were more on the worn side than she usually found comfortable - but at least she had on her favorite black Star Trek shirt. Under the blue of the apron, the gray writing on the shirt said, “Property of Star Fleet.”
“You’re at work. No one looks glamorous at work.”
“Says the stripper model.”
“Okay, so that’s part of my job. Selling the fantasy. But seriously. I mean, no one in a regular job. And also you downplay your massive rack. I see your bras hanging up in the shower.”
“My tits aren’t massive.”
“Uh, yeah, they are.” Kate leaned across the counter, and cupped Cassandra’s breasts in her hands. Jiggled them for good measure. “Even this bulky ass apron can’t hide these things. Fuckin’ just wear something cut low as fuck and just lean over real low the next time you give him a stack of papers. And if you spot me for utilities this month, I’ll teach you how to lap dance so good he’ll jizz without you touching him.”
“Half the utilities, and we'll settle on your cooking for a month,” grumbled Cassandra, leaning back to get her breasts out of reach of Kate’s hands, “Did you forget the last time you tried to teach me anything?”
“We totally made that paramedic’s night and you can’t tell me otherwise.”
Cassandra looked over at her, with an expression that bordered between disgust and embarrassment, and for not the first time since Kate had come in, she was glad it was slow. It was the late afternoon - past the lunch / brunch rush, and a few hours before the late night study session rush. Reet Petite was one of the few places that kept late hours and had free wi-fi.
“You whore. You said we weren’t ever going to talk about that.”
“Me? Fuckkkk no I didn’t promise that shit. That was the best Christmas ever.”
Cassandra just shook her head. “Weren’t you supposed to be talking to me about how to seduce my professor on this exotic trip abroad that he will be here any minute to discuss with me?”
“Yes. And I told you. Wear something tight, low cut, shove those magnificent tits into his hands and tell him, ‘Fuck me. Beat my pussy up. I mean fuck her shit UP beat it up.”
“I’m going to murder you.”
“You love my cooking too much.”
Before Cassandra could give her friend a sharp retort, the bells above the door rang, and she looked up. "Okay, so, like, you need to stop because he'll be here any minute," and Cassandra downed the last of her latte. One of the good things about working here? The owners let the employees basically eat and drink to their heart's content, and they got to comp friend's food within reason. Even though Kate was mockingly giving Cassandra a hard time, the bosses loved her and often treated her to free food themselves. And, well, once you fed a stray cat...But, to her credit, Kate baked something delicious, fat-laden, and chocolately for the store to sell at least once a week, so it evened out.
“More like, ‘My pubes are astro turf for you to play in my dug out” sniffed Katie softly, before picking up her drink and moving to a window table. Sitting and crossing her thin legs, she settled in to watch Cassandra. "Wait, did that even make sense? Okay, how about this one, 'There's grass on this field so lemme play with your balls!'"
Cassandra put her hands on her hips, and looked at Kate, "Okay, so why are you even using baseball metaphors?"
"It was the first thing that came to mind that had balls and grass."
