Tarasia {OneShots}

18: Professor

Hey, my lovelies. I got another one for y'all. And it's NSFW! Enjoy! All mistakes are mine.

Taraji walked through the dark, empty corridor that led to Professor Barrino's office. Most people had retired for the evening—it was late—way too late for an official meeting. But given that recently they had been getting rather friendly, Taraji hoped that her professor would excuse the informality. She really needed her help. The deadline for her thesis was rapidly approaching, and she was still nowhere near done. Taraji had been procrastinating and had maybe been a little bit distracted.

Professor Barrino was truly a great mentor—always happy to meet with Taraji and answer any questions her gifted graduate student had. She and Taraji somehow always ended up spending a lot of time together, in deep and heated discussions about various subjects after they had finished discussing Taraji's thesis. They could talk for hours without getting tired or bored of one another.

Taraji stopped in her tracks when she heard talking. She peered through the crack in the door, seeing her favorite professor and the annoying TA who had been a thorn in her side. They seemed to be having a passionate discussion. Why is Kyla even here? She's always around. Taraji wanted her professor's undivided attention.

Jealousy. Anger. Sadness. Taraji was feeling it all. And over a woman who didn't belong to her and never would. The flirting between the two of them had been intense but harmless; at least it was from the professor's perspective. Taraji, on the other hand, was smitten. Intoxicated by every little aspect that made Fantasia who she was. She doesn't want me, but I'll do anything for just one night with her.

Taraji felt like her feet had been glued to the floor. As soon as she noticed that her professor wasn't alone, she should have walked away. But she hated to see someone who wasn't her all in Fantasia's personal space. She was also curious to see what the two women were up to. It seemed as though she had just caught them in a compromising position. Like they were about to kiss or had just finished kissing. There wasn't very much distance between them.

"We're not in a relationship. You don't get a say in who I spend my time with." Professor Barrino sounded frustrated. But that didn't stop the TA from moving even closer. So close that their noses almost touched. Taraji thought about pulling the fire alarm or barging in the office. She needed the TA to back the fuck up. "Fantasia, I've told you before that it's me or nobody else. If our relationship gets out, you'll be ruined." Was that a threat? Taraji wondered and she grew even angrier.

It broke Taraji's heart to now have confirmation that her professor and the TA had some kind of intimate relationship. She had sensed something between them but had hoped that it was all in her head. Why would Fantasia do this? She could have anyone. She could have me. I wouldn't tell a soul. Maybe Professor Barrino had just been lonely and needed someone to help scratch an itch. She had gone through a very public and stressful divorce last year. Kyla probably took advantage of her vulnerabilities. Taraji wanted to make any excuse as to why Fantasia had fallen into the arms of someone other than hers.

Taraji watched as her professor closed her eyes, trying to rein in anger. "Kyla, does it look like I give a fuck? You pursued me. We're the same age. You aren't a child, although you act like one." Fantasia took a deep breath. "I should have known you didn't have the mental capacity to handle a friends with benefits situation. But you brought the idea to me. You made the rules—the first one being to not catch feelings. And what the fuck did you do? You fucking caught feelings. So I'm done. The sex wasn't even worth this headache."
