Talia's campus fun (closed)

[Homerun2611]

The light hearted excitement of the ride up was gone, but he would never not see her home, consequences be damned....he was raised better than that

Both of them were lost in thought on the drive back, unsure of what consequences all this would bring...perhaps they shouldn't care and just go for it...but he was so early in his career...and she was only a freshman

He pulled up to her apartment, it was dark and late, but there was no one around

Would you like me to walk you up, I will, but then I need to go?

Or at least can I steal one last kiss?

I doubt I see you outside of class for a while

 

[Asa]

She leaned over to kiss his cheek.

Goodbye for now

 

[Homerun2611]

He took her in his arms, and really kissed her

We aren't saying good bye like that...I am not sure when I can kiss you again

Don't worry about me...you just take care of yourself

 

[Asa]

Don't be upset if I date during all of this.

She whimpered into the kiss.

Have to put on a good show since I am sure my dance has the ice queen wanting her daddy to check into me for any rule breaking or professor breaking

 

[Homerun2611]

Date?

He didn’t answer. Of course he would be upset, it would damn near kill him

But what could he say, she didn’t belong to him, he had kidded himself int believing she did

Just take care of yourself

He drove away with a lump in his throat, how did such an amazing weekend possibly end like this?

 

[Asa]

She didn't want to date but she saw his fiancee reaction to her dance and knew all too well that with what's going on that has a bullseye on her back. And after all he had his fiancee and had to do things with her why shouldn't she have someone else as well if even for show right now to keep the heat off both of them.

 

[Homerun2611]

He didn't like it, but he sort of understood...but her comment had hit him hard...a harsh dose of reality

The second dose hit him as soon as he walked through his front door

There Samantha sat, legs crossed, and fire in her eyes....

"So....you obviously weren't with Brad...which I guess is good...or is it...where in the hell have you been Rick...I want answers now...and so does Daddy!"

 

[Asa]

She slept restlessly that night pondering all this out. All the while her dreams turning to him hoping he was alright. Mingled with other more intimate dreams

 

[Homerun2611]

He looked at this woman, she personified all the bad decisions he had made in his life

So he had sold or at least rented his soul to have a prestigious career

The funny thing was, he really was a good professor, he liked working with students and was passionate about helping them...of course he was particularly passionate about one student

"I'm not sure what to say....I needed some time away and I asked Brad to use his cabin...he was kind enough to give me the keys...whether that makes your father happy or not, I don't know and I am not sure I completely care"

It was a bold statement to make but he needed to create some type of separation and make sure she didn't completely run his life by constantly threatening Daddy's wrath

 

[Asa]

Waking from some wonderfully infuriating dreams of him and his fiancee and her. She grabbed a glass of wine and tried to read ahead in her Ancient studies books.

 

[Homerun2611]

Megan lost the confident, if the threat of Daddy didn’t work, she lost all leverage

Make no mistake, it was precisely Rick’s concerns regarding her father and what he could do that had him most worried, but he was a good poker player, and this was no time to admit you had an unmatched two and 7 in the hole, no way to make a winning hand, no he had to make her believe he had a pair of aces and was as good as good can be

He needed to shower, the smell of Talia was all over him, so he played cold, offended, and got his ass into the shower to rinse off the woman he truly did love

She finally woke up and got ready no dance class a text she got read so she opted for warm and comfy. Sitting in class she acted like she was far too busy studying when the class got underway. Part of her wanted to drop the class to be on the safe side or was there any way she could make it be "all about school" for her to spend time with him but couldn't think of anything.

 

[Homerun2611]

When he woke up, he knew that Meg was trying to make up, as he awoke with her hands rubbing all over him, encouraging him for some make up sex

He tried to be appreciative but held her off...he couldn't, he wasn't proud of what he was doing here with Megan while being in love with another, but he wasn't going to let her believe the passion he still carried from the interrupted weekend was for her

"I'm sorry darling, but you know I have an early class...."

He couldn't wait to see her, but he also dreaded it...a night that had started as white hot, ended ice cold...was that really it...it was at least for a little while...but as he walked into the classroom his eyes locked on her...couldn't let go...despite the fact she never looked at him

 

[Asa]

She felt him staring at her and fought hard not to look at him directly. She finally did for only a moment before class ended. Trying to get her things and run out before he could decide to call on her or say it was over.

 

[Homerun2611]

There eyes locked, but for only an instant, luckily he heard the door click and his peripheral vision told him that Megan had come in the back and was watching him like a hawk

He so wanted to signal Talia, let her know he was not giving up, just needed time, but he assumed she would review any texts or calls on his phone in the near term, whether he knew it or not

And the entire University appeared to be on a witch hunt against Brad

He wanted and needed to support his friend, but this would bring even more scrutiny on him...and therefore her

He hated how both Brad and the student were being drawn through the mud...and hoped he and Talia could avoid this...they needed to talk soon...but he looked right into Megan's eyes...and she was looking around the room...and he knew she was skeptical

Class ended and he knew Talia would see Megan as she walked out, and Megan came down to see him.

"I came to take you to a late breakfast", she said..."That's nice of you, but afterwards I am going to go see Brad. He is my friend and I am not the type to desert a friend in a time of need". He saw the frown on her face, he had expected exactly that reaction, but so be it...he understood Brad's decision better than anyone

 

[Asa]

She walked past his fiancee and over to some of her dance team talking to them as they walked to rehearsal. She hated the fact that this wilting violet ice queen could have any and all time with him. She saw the bitch glare at her and just simply and politely smiled at her. She knew her saving grace was her mother's family has always donated lots of money to the university and her dad would not be fool enough to let his daughter cause her any issues once he put two and two together about her family.

 

[Homerun2611]

He was able to watch Talia over Megan's shoulder, watched her with her friends and wondered what was going through her head.

Megan just kept talking...talking...talking

They went to the local diner and had bacon and eggs, "thank you, that did hit the spot"

Twenty minutes later, he knocked on Brad's apartment door...he could almost hear the camera's clicking as he knocked

His friend opened the door, and smiled a wry smile, "I'm surprised to see you, didn't you hear...they are acting like I have the plague"

Rick nodded, "I am sure it is hard...but I am here...tell me what happened?"

 

[Asa]

She sank herself into dance and ancient studies. The dance instructor started holding more open dress rehearsals allowing the school to watch.

The instructor had been going on and on about how she may have found the perfect mix for a couples team. She invited everyone in the faculty lunch to attend dress rehearsal that afternoon.

Now for our perfect couples dance pair

The instructor announced before the music started and Talia stood back to back with a male teammate.

An almost nightgown like soft short silk dress hugging her body as the slow song and movements began.

 

[Homerun2611]

He spent the rest of the morning, listening to his friend

A former jealous boyfriend had followed her for a few days, and found out she was lovers with the handsome young professor

He realized his career might be over...but he was young and smart...he was still in love with the girl...but wasn't sure if she would give up everything to go with him...his life was in shambles...he would sit in front of the academic counsel this afternoon...he intended to tell the truth...he asked Rick to speak as a character witness...a request he couldn't refuse...no matter the unintended spotlight

He got a text from Megan to meet him at some performance...as he walked in, he heard the announcement for Talia...he saw the partner...saw her...and it drove a dagger into him...he trusted her...but was there anything to trust....what could he offer in return...all he could do was hope she would hold on and not succumb to other temptations...but if this was any example the temptations would be many and compelling...

His fancee was suddenly on his arm...and smiling...he wondered if she suspected Talia...or knew anything at all..."My aren't they sexy together...I am surprised Daddy allows such performances here"

Rick was curt, "they are just dancing...not making love...they are performers"

God, he hoped he was right...and would stay that way

 

[Asa]

The dance ended with them back to back heads down hands held to the other tightly. A shift in music a toss of a slight wardrobe addition to Talia and into the next song with no real break. A stamina he would know well with her.

 

[Homerun2611]

He watched her, it was fucking torture.

She was his, should be his, but wasn't.

There eyes caught each other several times, but short quick and then she was into a different move

Rick turned to Megan, this is very good, both of them are excellent, but I have some thing I need to do before Brad's hearing

Their eyes caught each other's one more time, and she saw as he turned and left...wanting her more than ever...and never feeling farther away

 

[Asa]

Another team dance and one more solo and dress rehearsal was over for her but she sat backstage headphone plugged in eyes closed which told most to leave her alone. Her partner in the couple's dance sat beside her waiting till she would rejoin the rest of the world and be ready to deal with people again. Then he would ask her out.

 

[Homerun2611]

As he walked out, he thought of Talia, it was all he thought about

Smiled at her sexuality of the dance, her endurance...nobody knew those things better than him...and he unrealistically hoped no one ever would

He closed his eyes, and tried to telepathically will her a message, “I love you, please don’t ever doubt that, I am trying to think of a way”

He walked in to Brad’s hearing, and he sat in front of the academic committee, and they were being ruthless

Rick was the first speaker for Brad, and took a seat at the table, “Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the faculty...”

 

[Asa]

She agreed to go out with her dance partner but just for drinks and dinner. She had an early class the next day. Everything went smoothly and it was over and her back at her condo alone within a reasonable time.

 

[Homerun2611]

He was honest in front of the committee, Bradley was a fine man, a good friend and an excellent professor...

He was asked about the moral transgression...and he answered in a way trying to be honest, help his friend, but also realizing the microscope it put him under...

"Yes, she was a student, but he is young, and they were both adults...I would hope we would all try to understand that the heart wants what the heart wants, from the bottom of my heart, I don't think he ever did it to hurt anyone...I would hope we would have the compassion to forgive him a mistake...or forgive him for falling in love". He heard the rumors and the uneasiness in the room as he finished...and the look on his "future father in law's" face...but that was a problem for another day

He got out late and happened to drive by the restaurant just as Talia walked out with the handsome dancer...a huge part wanted to wait and follow them...see what happened, but he didn't. He was better than that, and so he went home, not knowing how to feel

As he walked in his apartment, Megan was there, "how could you have said that...guess what everyone thinks of you now?"

I really don't care, Brad was my friend, he fell in love...I would hate for that to ruin his career

She just sat there open mouthed, not sure whether to admire him or suspect him...she did a little of both
