He pulled his hand away quickly with a mean look on his face. "Well, excuse me." He said starting to laugh. He made a serious face again. "Excuse me for not being a good looking succesful college professor in my thirties who goes after his students." He said. He looked like he was trying hard not to laugh. I poked him in the stomach and he started laughing.
"I swear you are the biggest dork ever." I said.
"And proud of it." He said.
"Are we watching this or what?" I asked pointing at the TV.
"Maybe I could buy a nice suit and pretend I am a collge professor from another school. . ." He said pretending to think.
"Yeah, that'll work." I said sarcastically.
"Uh, last time I checked, you were my friend and you were suppose to be supportive of my hopes and dreams." He said.
"Oh, shut up!" I said laughing.
"Hey, at least I have asperations!" He said.
"Pretending to be a college professor to get laid is not an asperation." I said.
"It is for me."
"Well, you are crazy."
"Am not."
"Are too! Stop! Now you have me acting like a kid!" I said, giggling.
"Feels good, doesn't it?" He asked.
"What?"
"Having sex with me." He said.
"Oh shut up!! I swear!"
"Swear what?"
"Just watch the damn TV!" I shouted, throwing another chip at him.
He laughed and leaned back up against the bed. "It's going to work. You'll see." He said.
"No, I won't see." I said laughing.
"Yes you will." He said, "And I will videotape it for evidence."
"You're gross!" I said laughing. I grabbed the pillow off my bed and hid him in the head with it.
"Oh and you know what?" He said with a smile on his face as he set the pillow down next to him. "I could totally sell the tapes to like Girls Gone Wild or something."
"Grooooooooooss!" I shouted laughing.
"And then I'll be rich." He said smiling.
"Honey?" My Mom said knocking on the door.
"Yeah?" I asked.
She opened the door and peaked in. "Could you keep it down? You're Father is ready to throw you out." She laughed.
"Oh. Yeah sorry." I said.
"Goodnight." She said and closed the door.
"So, is it more fun to hang out with people your own age like me? Or old men like your college Professor?" He asked.
"He isn't old." I said.
"He's older."
"So? Stop it."
"Stop what?"
"I'm not sleeping with you, okay!" I said.
"Geeze, just kidding around." He said.
"Yeah, I don't believe that!" I told him.
"Well you should." He said.
"Well, I don't. I told him. He reached over and started tickling me.
"STOP IT!" I said, trying really hard not to laugh loud or scream.
I pushed him away and stood up laughing.
"If I wanted you bad enough, I would have said something to you." He said being serious. I sat down on the bed. I felt kind of bad that he said that.
"I didn't mean it to hurt your feelings." He said.
"Did you ever have a crush on me or anything?" I asked.
"I did at first, but then all of a sudden you were kind of stand-offish." He said.
"I'm sorry." I said.
He laughed, "It's not a big deal."
I layed back on the bed and sighed.
"Do you guys have fun together?" He asked.
"What's with all the questions about Alex?" I asked.
"Just curious." He said.
"Yes, we have fun." I told him.
"A lot of fun?"
"TODD!"
"Sorrrrrry!" He said. I just shook my head, and he got up and sat down next to me on the bed.
"Just don't get hurt." He said, getting serious all of a sudden.
"I'll try." I said.
"Good. You're a cool kid." He said.
"Kid?" I asked.
"Yes. A COOL kid." He said, giving me a thumbs up.
"You don't think I should be with Alex." I said.
"Well, I didn't say that." He said.
"But, you do think that." I said.
He shrugged his shoulders.
"It's okay if you think that." I said.
"I just think it's a little crazy." He said, "Especially for him. You were a student in his class. It's just weird. How did this even start?"
"He had me stay after class one day, so he could explain to me what was wrong with one of my essays." I explained, "So we were sitting there and he was explaining it to me and pointing out what I could do to make it better. At one point I was standing up leaning over his shoulder and he looked up at me while he was talking and we ended up kissing."
"Did you kiss him?" He asked.
"Well, he looked up and I was right there. We were staring into eachother eyes and he shifted his chair a little and we started kissing." I said.
"Okay, I don't need any more details." He said.
"Todd, I didn't sleep with him that day." I said.
"I still think it's weird." He said.
"It seemed all great untill we started seeing each other outside of school. Now it feels a little strange." I confessed.
"Does he feel the same way?" Todd asked.
"Yeah, I guess. I don't know. I just don't want it to end. I thought it was more then a fling. It lasted the whole time I was in his class." I said.
"Wait, how long?" He asked.
"Since the begining of the semester."
"Wow!" Todd said.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing. It just seems like a long time."
"I guess it is. I don't know. We really like each other, but I don't want him to get fired. For the first time we both seem to be having slight age issues." I confessed. Todd layed down next to me, and his head up on his hand so he was looking down at me.
"What are you going to do?" He asked.
I sighed, "I don't know."
"Does he make you happy?" He asked.
"I keep thinking about it and the more I think about it, the more I realize that before it was all about sex." I said.
"And now you're trying to make a relationship out of it?" He asked.
"Yeah, I guess." I said.
"Do you think he just wants it to be non exlusive or whatever?" He asked.
"I don't know." I said.
"Hmm." He said.
I sat up. "He makes me feel special though. When I am with him, I feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world." I smiled.
"He's not the only guy who can make you feel that way you know?" He said.
"Yeah right. Every other guy I've ever been with has been a total jerk." I said.
"That doesn't make us all jerks." He said.
"Oh, your different are you?" I asked.
"Yes, and I'm hurt you would think otherwise!" He said, playfully.
"Sorry. It's just hard. Sometimes it's easier to sell yourslef short and prepare to be hurt so you don't fall for someone and get hurt not expecting it." I said.
"Stop. That is not the way to live life." Todd said.
"Is isn't Mr. Persuasive Slacker?" I asked.
"I think you are just with him, because you are comfortable with him and you fear being alone or something." He said.
"That's not it." I said.
"Then maybe the sex is amazing or something." He said, "I don't know. I just don't think you are staying with him for the right reasons."
I giggled, "The sex is good, but it's far from amazing."
"So Professor Learman's sex is just good. . ." He said.
I laughed and hit him in the shoulder playfully. "Shut up."
"Was Andy better than the Professor?" He asked.
"Todd, stop!" I said laughing.
"Well, you've only been with Andy and the Professor." He said.
"I also slept with Goose at your birthday party. Remember?" I said.
He started laughing really hard. "I was so proud of Goose. How could I forget?" He said.
"You are such a dork." I said, "What the hell was his real name anyway?" I asked.
"Sigmand." He said laughing even harder.
"Sigmand?" I asked, "That's awful."
He nodded, still laughing.
"Oh geeze. I was so drunk, or that never would have happened!" I said.
"Well, I think you should let me show you what amazing sex is like."
"That so?" I asked.
"Yes. I'm working on my persuasion skills." He said. "How am I doing?" He asked, sliding his hand up my leg. I started laughing.
"What?" He asked.
"Goose, what a retarded name!" I said.
"Hey, I'm pulling my best moves here!" He said.
"Goose! Ha!" I said laughing really hard.
He put his arm around me. "Enough about Sigmand Goose." He said.
I started laughing even harder. I layed back on the bed again. "So, do you have any Italian in you?" He asked.
"No. Retard. You know I am German and Irish." I said.
"Oh, well would you like some Italian in you?" He asked.
