“Nah. Not really. I have to grade these exams and finalize the grades. I have some research to do for a book I am writing then I’ll probably just hang out around the beach with my buddies. What about you?”
“I have the rest of this week to hang with my family and friends, then I am gone for who knows how long. It’s kind of crazy. I’ve spent my whole life here. It’ll be strange to be in a whole new place with all new people.”
“You’ll be great,” I repeat. I hug her and inhale the citrusy scent of her shampoo as her hair brushes against my nose.
She pulls away and smiles.
“Thank you for everything you’ve taught me. Your class is one I’ll never forget.” She pulls her underwear out of her shorts and tosses them to me. “You know, on second thought, you keep these. I want you to have them. To remember me. To remember this.” She kisses me on the cheek and walks away.
I put them in the pocket with my tie and rub them between my fingers as I watch her walk. Elizabeth appears to grow smaller as she moves farther down the hallway, and then disappears completely as she descends the stairs.
Chapter Three
Fall Semester—Day One
The first day of a new semester generally excites me, as I scope out my new fantasy girls. This semester, though, is not quite the same. I mourn the loss of my experience with Elizabeth and know that I’ll never be so lucky again. However, I do have a lifetime worth of memories to revisit while I choke the chicken.
The fall semester begins while the heat of summer still remains, so I am able to appreciate the scantily clad bodies of the young women for a month or so, until the chill causes them to pull out designer jeans, Abercrombie hoodies and shoes and boots that cover their pretty little feet so they stay warm.
I walk around the room, looking down shirts of the ladies when I can as we go over the syllabus. I can’t help but steal glances at the seat that had been occupied by Elizabeth just a few short weeks ago. I wonder what she’s doing right now, and where her path will lead her.
The last class finishes and one student remains. Her long blonde hair is styled in a thick braid that reaches the middle of her back. Her skin is still sun-kissed, her dark bronzed skin contrasts the tight white t-shirt that clings to her rack. I can clearly make out the lace design of her bra.
She stands and walks up to me at the door. I force myself to keep my eyes affixed to her eyes and not her tits, but it proves nearly impossible.
“Hello. I’m Emily.” She reaches out and grabs my hand. Her grip is soft and gentle.
“Well, hi there, Emily. It’s nice to meet you. I hope you’ll enjoy this class.” I place both of my hands over hers.
She smiles at me. “Oh yes, Dr. Collins. I believe I will. I’ve heard I’ll learn a lot from you. In fact, I believe you taught quite a bit to my older sister, Elizabeth.” She winks and exits the room.
Well, well, well. Looks as if this semester has potential after all.
