When Boy Meets Girl

4. Read the Room

Tuesday Aug 30th, 6PM

Lisa's POV

After a moment Lisa stood up in disbelief that Professor Jackass was one her professors, the guy who took her coffee, had just outed her in front of her classmates. Hoping to keep her last name a secret for a while and maybe just spilling the beans to Janet, this fool just decides to take that away from her.

While twiddling her fingers and playing with her fathers thumb ring Lisa decided to finally speak. In a low, but shaking tone Lisa had breathed in and out and said "Hello um, my name is Lisa Marie Presley and I am the daughter of Elvis Presely." And right before she could sit down, Michael told her to keep standing and to explain who Elvis was, annoyed she unwillingly did what he asked so she can get it done and over with.

"Well my father is Elvis Presley and he was one of the Kings of Rock n Roll", Lisa tried saying confidently even though it was clear that she was annoyed and flustered.

Michael's POV

Not completely satisfied with his work, Michael decided to do one more thing and that was... "So Miss Presley, you say that your father was one of the Kings of Rock n Roll right? Well didn't he steal music from black people? I also learned that he didn't credit them either, is that true?" Knowing that he was completely bullshitting her and the class, he just had to see what his little special guest was gonna say and do.

While staring at her, he saw her eyes turn into the fiery blue color he liked so much from their little altercation earlier and let's just Michael was getting turned on by it; but also noticed her body language went from scared little girl to fearless princess, so he had assumed he struck a nerve with little Miss Presley.

With that being said he saw Lisa raise her left right eyebrow, cross her arms and smirked, then she responded the best way she knew how. "Well Professor Jackass, my father indeed is one of the Kings of Rock n Roll, but while he was alive he indeed credited other black artists when asked about his music, especially his early work. And no he didn't steal anything, yes he covered songs, but didn't steal them. All father did was sing the songs that he was given to him from the record label when he first started. Anything else, professor?"; Lisa asked.

Seeing he truly struck a nerve and surprised she actually answered his question, he decided to leave her alone for now and continue on with the lesson which had to deal with songwriting and shopping the record around.

"I think the class and I got the answer we needed Miss Presley, you can take your seat", he softly and confidently while smirking at her.

Lisa's POV

Lisa sat down and hid her face in her laptop, in complete disbelief in what just happened. After calming down she decided to focus on what he was saying, knowing that there wasn't any way she could get herself out of this class since it was a requirement. Unexpectedly she felt someone taking her hand and holding it, it was Janet trying to tell her that everything was gonna be okay; but also apologizing for her brother's actions. Feeling a little bit better with Janet's sweet gesture, Lisa had squeezed her hand back letting her know she was okay and it wasn't her fault.

Michael's POV

2 hours later ...

"Alright folks listen up, with us already wrapping up with chapters one and two we already have an assignment due next Tuesday. First, assignment one will be a song that you write best describing you and your life. Second, I want you to draw up a contract between you and the possible client you are going to hand it off to; and third everyone needs to email me one thing they want to learn and take away from this class this semester. With that being said you all are dismissed and good night." Michael said with his soft, but deep and confident voice.

With everyone leaving his class room he noticed that Lisa was sitting next to his baby sister Janet and thought to himself how he was going to dodge Janet's hand connecting with the back of his head; but until then Michael needed to handle something and needed his little sister out of the way.

Clearing his throat and scanning the room Michael calls over Lisa to his desk so he can talk to her and possibly apologize. "Excuse me, Miss Presley, do you have a moment?", he said while looking at his annoyed sister telling Lisa to ignore him; but she didn't. Instead she tells Janet she'll meet her outside after she is done talking with Michael and ushers her away. 

Once Janet leaves, it's just Michael and Lisa in the classroom. With Lisa being in front of Michael's desk while he is leaning against it with his arms crossed waiting for someone to say the first word. Lisa decided to go first, so she clears her throat and asks him why he wanted to see her.

"So you wanted to see me Professor?" Lisa asked quietly. "So now you wanna speak to me with some manners, but if I weren't mistaken didn't you just call me Professor Jackass a couple of hours ago"; Michael said while smirking at her. Lisa had bit her lip and decided not to say anything for once, but couldn't understand why especially since this man just disrespected her father earlier in front of 100 something students.

"Cat got your tongue, I see. Listen Lise, if I may call you that? I'm sorry about acting like an asshole today

and calling you out. I guess you can say I was still upset by our little altrcation earlier today at the cafe and you assuming I fuck my students.", Michael had said with a mixture of annoyance, but also sincerity because he truly didn't mean to call out her father.

Looking at him in disbelief while shaking her head, Lisa decided to let him have it, but this time decided to keep it classy, "So let me get this straight, you decided to basically out me and then embarrass me, and disrespect my fathers legacy because I hurt your little ego earlier? Please Jackson get a life and you can keep your sorry ass apology. And also how I am suppose to know you didn't fuck little miss barista earlier, I'm sorry I was the only one noticing the gummy smiling and google eyes that she was making at you!"

Cleary still upset with his little stunt, Michael made himself comfortable by still leaning on the side of desk with his hands in his pocket, listening to little Miss Memphis rant about how his female students that he was sexy and how they fuck him regardless if he passed them or not. And all Michael could do was laugh to himself because he never found any of these little girls attractive except this one...

"Are you done?", Michael asked Lisa with a straight face.

Still clearly irritated she told him yes then proceeded to walk out of his face, but Michael grabbed her wrist with the right amount of firmness and told her "We aren't done here, I listened to you. Now you're gonna listen to me." Michael said in a firm voice that all of sudden made Lisa feel kind of weak inside even though she didn't show it on the outside.

Michael saw that she had obeyed him, but took a defensive stance, snatched her hand away and crossed her arms above her chest and told him "I'll stand her and listen to you, but don't you ever touch me again. Understood?" Lisa said.

Michael giggled and shook his head and then raised both of his hands and said "my bad Lise, it won't happen again. Unless you want it too?"

"Huh", Lisa said while scrunching up her nose, pretending not to hear him. "Jackson, what are you talking about?"

"What am I talking about, well let's see. It seems like you have a lot to say about my sex life and who I sleep with. And if I'm not mistaken didn't we just meet? So let me just tell you this, I don't sleep with my students. And if I'm being honest here, they wouldn't be able to handle me or even simply keep a secret. But I do have a question for you Lise, can you keep a secret? Michael had asked in a low, raspy, and sexy tone of voice while lifting Lisa's chin; while looking into her curious blue eyes, searching for an answer.

Standing in complete stillness and not being able to say anything, all Lisa did was nod her head yes and Michael smiled at her then whispered "I knew you were a good girl".

With that being said, Michael backed away from Lisa leaving her speechless and confused then he told her "you are dismissed Miss Presley."

And with that she grabbed her book-bag and rushed away trying to make sense of what happened.
