Weeks had passed and after a long interview with the boss staring me up and down, I was told I was hired on the spot. It wasn't the best way to make money but I needed to do something. I also needed to start working on my thesis so I made sure to email Professor Jaeger, my experiment idea so we could schedule a day to meet.
Later at night, I laid in bed going through my contacts looking for Levi's number.
"You don't mind if I FaceTime my boyfriend right?" I looked over at Annie who was in her own world listening to music and reading her book. Without paying any attention to me, I shrugged and clicked the number.
After a few rings, I smiled as his face popped up on the screen.
"Hey you." Levi said sweetly as he placed the phone down securely so I could get a full view of him.
"Hey, whatcha doing?" I asked as I looked at the screen seeing he was in his room.
"Just catching up on some work. Yknow I started that new job a couple of days ago and they've been making me code like crazy."
"I guess that makes both of us." I was a bit uneasy to tell Levi about the new job that I got because I knew what he would think.
"Shut up, you got a job?" He asked clearly excited as he stopped what he was doing to put his full attention on me.
"Yeah, but it's not exactly the best job." I laughed uneasily as I told him what I had to do for this certain job.
"I see... isn't that a bit degrading?" He asked which made me cover my face in embarrassment as I nodded my head.
"But yknow that I support you in anything that you do. Plus, I would love to see how you look in your work uniform." He said smirking. Looking over at Annie, I realized she was still in her own world.
"Stop, you know I'm here with my roommate." I giggled as he looked at me then down at his pants area.
"I'm trying to control myself, I just miss you so much." His raspy voice made me tingle as I tried to get the dirty thought out of my head.
"I think you need to go cool off, I have my first day of work tomorrow and need to get some sleep." I said laughing as he agreed and hung up after telling me he loved me. Smiling, that was just what I needed.
Before going to sleep I got a notification from my mail app.
New notification: Email from Professor Jaeger
Hello Ms. Harmon,
I hope all is well and would love to hear what you came up with for your thesis. I'm free to schedule an appointment for Tuesday after class. Let me know if that works for you.
Regards,
Professor Jaeger
After reading the email, I made sure to send him a follow-up letting him know that worked with me. Tomorrow was Saturday so that meant I would be meeting with him in a couple of days.
I don't know, but for some reason, my stomach started to turn in knots. Was it the email or the fact I started my new job tomorrow?

Okay now, this might sound bad, but working at this new job isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. Yes, working in a mini skirt and crop top isn't the most efficient uniform to work in, but I was making good money, and surprisingly everyone was respectful with the occasion of a few guys persisting for my number.
"Dude, I made $800 tonight." I said to Historia as I walked into the back room.
"I told you so, it's Saturday and football season so it gets super packed in here." She said as she started to refill drinks.
"Iyla! Christa is taking care of four tables right now so she can't take her usual. I know it's your first day but do you think you can take another table on top of your one?" One of the girls asked.
Nodding I grabbed my notepad and fluffed my hair up a bit. "Be back in a bit." I said as I made my way over to table 32.
"My name is Iyla and I'll be your server today, is there anything I could start you off with?" Giving a big smile, I looked up from my notepad only to freeze in spot and feel the blood in my veins then cold.
Unable to speak, my eyes were dead set on Professor Jaeger sitting at the table with three other guys and by the looks of his face, he was going through the same feeling that I was.
He was out of his typical professional wear and instead opted for a plain grey sweater and black ripped jeans. Who would've thought he even opened a pair of those?
"Professor Jaeger." I said softly as I couldn't think of anything to say.
"Wait, Eren this is one of your students? What luck you must have huh?" His friend across from him laughed and hit him on the shoulder.
"That's a bit inappropriate don't you think." Professor Jaeger responded. "I'm sorry, I didn't think any of my students worked here or else I definitely would have chosen somewhere else. Could you please start us off with a couple of beers?"
"Of course coming right up." Taking a deep breath, I immediately ran to the back room looking for Historia.
"Emergency!" I shouted to her as I grabbed her and took her to the opening where we could see all the tables. "Professor Jaeger is here!"
"You're joking." She said as she looked and spotted her eyes on him. "And you're serving him." Laughing she covered her mouth.
"It's not funny! What am I gonna do?" I said as I started to freak out.
"You're gonna do your job. You're a 20-year-old woman and what you do outside of school is your own business, not Professor Jaeger or anyone else." For a girl who is shy and bubbly all the time, she sure has a way with words.
"But I have to work with him for my thesis."
"So what? You're both adults, if he's not making it awkward then neither should you, plus he's cute." She laughed as she handed me beers for my table and pushed me back out into the bar.
Walking over to the table, I placed the opened beers on the table slightly bending over. Looking over at Professor Jaeger I could see his cheeks slightly turn read as he looked the other way. While he was suffering, his friends were loving every moment of it, me and his embarrassment.
"Is there anything else you need?" I politely asked as I took out my notepad.
"Nope, I think we're gonna be good for the night. Thank you Ms. H-, Iyla." He said as he looked at my name tag. Hearing him say my name for the first time made my heart stop for a second, nodding my head I made my way back to the kitchen.
After tending to a few other tables, for what seemed like hours, Professor Jaeger and his friends walked out. Going over to the table, I collected the empty bottles and the check on the table.
My eyes went wide as I looked at the tip. $150? For a $30 bill. Turning the paper around, I noticed a note on the back.
I can't imagine how uncomfortable this must have been for you so I made sure to leave a nice tip. $100 for your service and $50 for the comment left by my friend.
Holy shit. He's actually really nice.
Holy shit. I have to be with him after class on Tuesday and he saw me dressed like this.
