My Professor {18+}

28

2 months later....

Carter just finished his lecture and I was glad because I was exhausted , I slowly packed up giving everyone a chance to leave before I walked over to him and sat down. He closed his class door  "What's wrong?" He asked and I groaned "I'm hungry and tired" he chuckled "Once I'm done I'll feed you" he sat down and started grading papers, I observed his outfit and noticed his Rolex "Can I ask you a question?" He nodded still looking down "Besides working here and having your own private clinic...what else do you do?"
"I have another business" I rolled my eyes "What kind?"
"It's nothing important"
I stared at him until he looked up and sighed "I own one of the largest psychology companies in the world" I furrowed my eyebrows confused and thinking "but the largest psychology company in the world is APA"
"American psychological Association that I took over when I was 25" I looked at him shocked "Why didn't you tell me?! That's a pretty big deal"
"I came out here to get away from all of that, it's hard but I'm able to work from here" I nodded as he continued to grade papers "So this is a vacation to you?"
"Your asking me if I'm going back?" I nodded "I do eventually have to go back but you don't need to worry about that right now" he handed me a paper and I realized it was mine, it read C+ "Damn it"
"Ayana your better than that"
"I know, I didn't really understand your lecture last week" he looked at my annoyed "Why didn't you tell me? We live together and I'm not just your man, I'm still your professor and I need to make sure your understand this or I'm not doing my job" I sighed nodding "We'll go over it again when we get home" suddenly the door opened and my heart dropped.

The dean walked in but the scene in front of her looked legit, I was holding my graded paper and Carter had his pile of papers in front of him "My apologizes Mr. Moore, I didn't realize you had a student in here"
"Not a problem Dean Abigail, she was just leaving" I got up to grab my stuff but was stopped "Actually I'm glad your both are here" I probably looked like a deer in headlights but I tried to compose myself "Your Ayana Rose correct?" I nodded "I've seen your grades the last few moments, they have been rocky...is everything okay at home?"
"Uhhh I work extra shifts and it's a little hard but im working through it" she smiled at me then nodded "Well I have a proposition for you if Mr. Moore agrees" i waited for her to continue "I see that you only have 2 years left in the program, I would like to move you to the final year of the program to see if your are capable of keeping up...if not you will return to your current class but if you succeed then you will graduate early" I shocked by what I was hearing.

"I'm sorry Dean but can I ask, why me?" She smiled "Although your grades have been rocky, Your the only one in this class that has maintained a 4.2gpa since your freshman year and I believe you can do better" I'm under enough pressure with work and school, this couldn't work "Well actually—"
before I could decline, Carter cut me off "Actually a great idea, I believe Ms Rose is capable of more" The dean smiled but I couldn't help but to look at Carter so he knew exactly how I felt about it "Great, well I'll have a test for you by the end of the weak just to see how qualified you are but I think you'll do great..." and with that she walked out with a smile on her face.

Carter's shoulders relaxed as the door closed but mine were still tensed at the news I just received "Carter I can't—-" 
"We'll talk later, I don't want to spend anymore time here then necessary" I grabbed my stuff and began to walk out the school, Carter told me I should have bought the other car and I knew it was a bad decision on my part. When I got to my regular bus stop, Carter pulled up shortly after and I got in "That was too close, we could have been doing anything" he sighed and I nodded "Agreed. But Carter you know I can't take that test"
"Why?"
"I don't have time to stress over trying to catch up with that class and I still have to work" He didn't respond, he just kept driving "Say something " he cleared his throat "I would just sound like a broken record at this point" I knew what he was talking about "You would rather work when you don't even have to then skip a year and graduate early, if you don't see what's wrong with that than there's nothing I can do or say otherwise" Damn it

We made it home finally and before he could get upstairs I said "Okay Carter" he stopped and turned to look at me "Okay what?"
"I'll quit my job and let you take care of me" he looked at me suspiciously "I'm serious, you're right about what you said and I would be an idiot to pass up this opportunity" I guess it took him a minute to process what I said but when he did, he smiled with those white teeth I liked so much "Why are you smiling so hard?"
" You finally decided to listen to me after all this time" he came to grab me but I moved back "and another thing" he looked at me squinting his eyebrows "Why didn't you tell me you were gonna have to leave?" The look on his face let me know he knew this was coming "I forgot. It hasn't been something I thought about"
"I guess I'm just suppose to wave you off and wish you luck when you do? Sometimes I don't think you realize how deep this has become" I said gesturing between us "Now I need to go study for my test, excuse me"
