RING RING RING

Shit it’s 6 already? Sahara rolled out of bed and slowly walked to the bathroom. There wasn’t much in there except a hairbrush, a toothbrush, some toothpaste, and a towel. She did just move into this dorm room, and luckily she got an unoccupied one.

She throws her hair up in a ponytail and turns the water on, grabbing the toothbrush and putting a dallop of toothpaste onto the bristles before running it under the water. She finishes up brushing her teeth and takes her hair back down, brushing it.

RINGGGGG

Who is calling me this early? She grabs her phone, seeing the name “Mom” light up across the top of the screen. She answers.

“Hey Mom” she says as she puts the phone on speaker and puts it on the dresser, pulling her clothes on. “Goodmorning sweetie!!! Excited for your first day as a college student?” her mom says with her usual happy voice, and it made Sahara feel a little better about walking into a room full of strangers. “Ah- yeah a little nervous” she giggles. “No need! You’re so smart hun I know you’ll do great!” That made her smile, but she was quickly interrupted when she realized the time. “Thanks Mom, I gotta go, I love you” she hung up the phone and slipped on her shoes, grabbing her bag and walking out the door. Locking it behind her.

The walk to her first class was long, it was all the way across campus from her dorms. She pulled up her schedule on her phone one last time to make sure.

7am-10am classroom G-12

12pm-2pm classroom B-9

5pm-7pm classroom G-12

Only 3 classes today, that’s not bad. She thought as she stepped up to the building, pulling the door open. She walked down the hallway until she saw room G-12, the door agape. She took a seat in a desk, taking her laptop out and setting it infront of her.

RINGGGGGGG

The bell for the first class rang loudly, and the professor walked swiftly into the room. “Good morning class” he said in a smooth, deep voice. Sahara looked up, but found herself staring as soon as her eyes met his 6’4 lean frame, her lips slightly parted. “My names Professor Kane, todays just an introduction day, so you all can get your computers out and we’ll get started.” he said, walking slowly towards his desk.

Sahara finally dropped her eyes to her laptop, clicking in her password and logging in. “I’ll be redirecting your tabs to a page, read all of the rules of the classroom and let me know if you need help understanding anything.” Sahara watched as her screen flicked to the school website, and began reading.

Once she finished, she looked up to see Professor Kane looking around the class. Their eyes meet and she tried to look away, but his light green eyes seemed to captivate her. He smirked at her parted lips and wide eyes before breaking the eye contact, looking down at his computer. Saharas face grew hot as she realized what happened, and she looked back down at her screen as well. Her screen flicked onto the email tab, and there was one unread email. It was from Kane. She raised her head to look at him but he was busy smirking at his screen.

She clicked on the email.

Is there something interesting about me to you?

She hurried and clicked “reply” and typed back.

I’m sorry I didn’t mean to stare.

But the second you clicked “send”, the bell rang.

Still embarrassed, Sahara closes her laptop and stuffs it back in her bag. She closes the bag up and stands, tossing it over her shoulder. When she was out of the room, she pulled her phone out of her pocket to check the time. 10:08. She slipped her phone back in her pocket and headed down the hallway.

When she made it to her dorm, she quickly shut the door behind her, flopping on the bed. She couldn’t stop thinking about her professor, but she knew it was wrong. She was here to get her degree, not fall in love with her teachers. But she couldn’t help remembering how his shaggy light hair fell over his thick eyebrows. And his long dark eyelashes that framed his beautiful green eyes.

\-***4:45pm\-***

She was nervous to go back to professor Kanes class. But she couldn’t help but find herself putting on her favorite shorts and a low cut top, and fixing up her hair. She checked herself in the mirror one last time before stepping out of her dorm.

She walked across the campus, fixing her clothes before walking into his class. Trying to keep her eyes on her feet, she sat down at the same desk. She took out her computer and set it on the desk before looking up to see Kane already has his eyes fixed on her. Her face grew warm as she looked back down at her screen. Once all the other students were in the room, Kane stood up and walked to the front of the room.

“If you’re in this class you’re studying Psychology, so I would like everyone to hand write five reasons you chose this profession and set it on the corner of my desk when you’re finished” he grabbed a small stack of paper and began passing it out. “Sahara, could you help me pass these out?” Sahara looked up at him, her eyes wide. “Uh.. yeah of course” she stood up and walked to him, and he hands her half of the stack. “Thank you.” he says, his finger brushing hers as he hands her the papers. She tried to keep it unnoticed, but her legs squeezed together as he touched her.

“Everything alright?” he smirks at you as he starts passing the papers out. Sahara keeps her eyes on her feet as she walks around and begins passing them out too. “Yeah..” she said in a quiet voice. When she was finished she sat back down at her desk and picked up her pencil. Once she was finished writing, she looked around the room to see everyone still writing. She looks over at Kane and they make eye contact.

Sahara stood up and walked over to him, setting her paper on the corner of his desk, “Finished already?” Kane askes, looking her up and down, taking in her outfit. “Yeah.. quick writer I guess.” she giggles. “Oh? Well could you please stay a little after class so we can discuss the best next step for this class? I read some of your past papers and I think you’d have some good ideas.” he asked. “Uhm sure.. I’m not busy” Sahara replied quietly.

“Great! We can discuss further once class is over.” Kane said. She nodded her head at him and turned to walk back to her desk. Once everyone finished their papers the bell rung. Everyone but Sahara packed their things and walked out.

Once everyone else left the room, Kane stood and began walking towards Saharas desk. Once he gets there, he sits up on the corner of her desk. “So, what do you think we should begin with tomorrow? I was thinking of doing an easy create a résumé assignment.” he says, keeping eye contact as he spoke.

“Uh.. yeah that could work..” Sahara mumbled back, her eyes traveling down his arms, his hand only a mere inch away from hers. “Has everything been okay? I know it’s the first day but you’ve been seeming a little distracted.” Kane says with a slight smile on his face. “Is there something distracting you?”

“I’m just.. nervous about my first day.” she replied, her eyes stuck on his hand, which was slowly inching closer to hers. “You don’t have to be nervous Sahara, I’m here to help you.” his hand was now resting on top of hers. She looks up at him, her eyes wide as his hand squeezes hers.

What did he really keep me here for? Sahara thought to herself. Have I really been that easy to read? Or maybe he sees me the same way I see him… “Is that all professor?” she finally spoke, her eyes stuck to her feet. “I actually had one more question,” he replied, “what about me catches your eye?” he asked, lifting his hand from hers to softly lift her chin, “Hm?”

“Ah- I uh.. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to stare..” she muttered. She could feel her body grow warm with his touch on her chin. “That didn’t answer my question Sahara.” Kane said sternly, “You know it’s a little distracting when I can’t keep my eyes off of you.” he says quietly as he slowly inches his face towards hers. “Answer my question Sahara.”

Before she could get a word out, his lips met hers. His hand, still on her chin, slowly slid down to her body until his hand was resting on her bare thigh. She could feel her heart beating faster as his kisses became stronger, and more intimate. He pulls away for a second, his lips just an inch from hers. “This is okay, right?” he asks. “Mmhm..” Sahara mumbles, unable to speak.

Kane smirks at her weak answer before putting his other hand on the back of her head, roughly pulling her in. His hand carefully slides up her leg, until she could feel his body heat against her *****. She can feel him smiling against her lips as he realizes how wet she is already.

RIIIIIIINGGGGG

Kane pulls away, disappointed. “They have to close up the building,” he says sadly, “same time tomorrow?” he says, winking at her. “Y-yeah” Sahara stutters with a weak smile, “Great, I’ll see you first thing in the morning Sahara.” he says, walking to his desk and packing his things.

The walk back to her dorm felt unreal. She couldn’t wait to go back to class tomorrow. Shit, it’s gonna be so hard to focus.
