nice guy and I’m going to prove it to you. We are also going to talk about why you’re so hostile toward me. You’re so beautiful. I will handle you like a delicate flower. I’ve seen a lot of women in and out my classroom, and none of them exemplify the character you have. I love your feistiness. You remind me of the women in my family. You’re determined and strong-willed.”
TC listened with her mouth hanging open. “Ok, what’s going on here? What are you trying to pull?”
Seth’s eyebrows rose. “It’s obvious you don’t trust anyone, especially men, because you would not be so defensive with me.”
She rolled her eyes at him and tried inching away to put space between them. “Don’t try to analyze me. Oh, don’t tell me, you have a background in psychology too, right? Yeah, yeah, whatever, man.”
He sighed with impatience and held up his hands as if in surrender. “Ok, ok, stop. Let’s both take a deep breath, and then you can ask me any questions you may have, and I will answer them honestly.”
“Ok, that sounds great to me because I have a handful of questions for you too,” TC exclaimed.
She heaved a sigh and started. “First, question. Why are you so persistent?”
“Well, when I see what I want, I pursue it at all costs. I’m just about done. That’s why I have your leg across mine in front of me. I also thought it would help calm you down, so you wouldn’t focus on the pain,” Seth replied.
TC responded under her breath. “Yeah, it’s doing more than calming me down. It’s making me feel aroused.”
“What did you mumble?” he asked.
“Oh nothing. Anyway where were we? Oh yes, so why do you feel you have to have me?”
“When our eyes met, I felt something, and I wanted to know what it was, and the more I ran into you, the more I wanted to know you. The small encounters we had didn’t help either. So from this point on you can call me Seth. No more Professor Howard while we’re here. Is it ok that I call you Casey?”
“Hold on, I’m asking the questions now. You will soon find out. And no, you cannot call me Casey. You can call me TC. No more Ms. Shaw. Who was the woman you were arguing with in the next building in my complex where I live?”
“The woman is my brother’s ex-girlfriend. She and my younger brother had a bad breakup. My brother and I own the complexes that are across from your condo. We rent them out to some of the students and faculty at the University. However, he’s a player, and apparently he got involved with this woman. The woman is a bit on the wild side if you ask me. She didn’t want the relationship to end.” Seth ended his sentence and got quiet.
“Ok, keep it coming. What else? Don’t stop there. Tell it all,” TC demanded.
“What-else-what? What else do you want to know?”
“You know—why were you there, and what was going on during both incidents!”
“Well, my brother asked me if I could try to talk to her. So I went there. When I got there I knocked on the door and rang the bell a couple of times. She took a long time coming to the door. I could hear her inside. When she opened the door I saw that she was half dressed. I said to myself this is not a good situation.
“I just said to her, look Cherie, Heath is no longer interested in you and you know this. You two have been apart for months now. Just let it go and move on. Stop harassing him. Let it go. Then she started coming on to me. She grabbed my arm, and my reflexes made me pull away as I was walking away from her. When I looked from my peripheral vision, I saw that she made herself fall to the ground.
“She was out there in a see through robe. People were looking from their balconies and windows. I heard a lady yell for me to get out of there and she saw the whole thing. I knew I did nothing wrong, and I left.”
“Well did you look?” TC asked.
“Look at what?”
“Don’t play with me, her ass, her body? You noticed the see through robe. What else
