The school year had ended. Lacy did not want to move back home. She wanted to stay. Tom came up to visit once during the first week of the summer.
"It's been so long Lacy I've really missed you. Your mother however-"
-"Don't tell me anything my mother says. I'm done hearing from that woman. She didn't call me once, or wish me luck. As far as I'm concerned, fuck her."
"Wow, that is one hell of a mouth they put on you dear. Whats the problem? Come here and tell dad."
Lacy went over to Tom and sat on his lap and layed on his chest and stressed that she did not want to go home, but she did not know what she was going to do all summer. As she lay there Tom slightly brushed her hair with his hand and rested his chin upon her head. She wanted to get a job but she really didn't really need any extra money. Anything Lacy wanted she would get. Tom had her taken care of.
"Listen Lacy, I'm sorry your mother and I have not called you during your first year. There is a lot going on. Your mother wants no responsibilities and I'm stuck doing everthing. I was just about ready to call it quits when she finally started acting."
-"Oh."
"Anyway, how was your first year huh? Did you find anyone?"
-"Dad! No, I have a few guy friends, but thats about it. Uhm... I like my professor-My first class professor. Professor Mike."
"Woah, how much do you like this professor guy?" Tom smiled
-"Way too much."
"Just don't cost him his job and you'll be fine. He is an old friend of mine. A very old friend."
-"Well he is deffinately something else."
Lacy smiled and spent some more time with Tom before he left. When he left Lacy again felt a sorrow emptiness but soon got over it when she heard a knock on the door. Lacy opens the door.
-" Professor Mike?! What are you doing here?!" Lacy was both excited and shocked that the professor was at her door she quickly moved to invite him in.
"Hello Lacy, I'm sorry to show up unexpected. I didn't really want to call you see, I wanted to see you."
"Did you need something professor?"
"Yes Lacy, You."
Lacy looks at him with uncertainty and curiousity.
-"Uhm Professor Mike I-"
"I know I'm not saposed to reach out to students for anything other than their studies, but Lacy you're different, and I need you."
-"So what do you want me to do?"
"Come with me."
Lacy went with the professor and only brought a few things. She had no idea how long she was going to be gone. Lacy arrived at the professors mansion. She wasn't surprised he had one. When they got inside Lacy knew she would get lost if she had not followed the professor. She stayed close to the professor. The professor showed Lacy around a bit. Everything was huge to Lacy. After an hour of that, she had his whole house maped out in her head.
"Well, what do you think love?"
-"Wha- love?"
"Well you did say yes to comming here did you not?"
-"Well yes but-"
"So I will call you love unless... You are uncomfortable?"
-"No, its fine. Anyway, Your house is lovely. A lot bigger than mine."
