Enticing

Chapter 2

Naomi
I was just leaving the diner after a long night in my feet, waiting tables, cleaning spills, running back and forth to make sure the customer were satisfied & I was exhausted. I just wanted to go home & sleep into a coma. As I was walking to my car I heard my name being called. I looked around but seen nobody so I shrugged it off and kept walking until I heard my it again. This time louder & closer, the voice sounded kind of familiar but I was starting to get creeped out.

"Who's there?" I yelled. I waited for a response and was about to turn around and take off sprinting when I seen Prof. Banks walking towards me with a smile on her face.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you, I was just stopping by the diner for some coffee before I headed to campus and I saw you leaving so I decided to speak," she told me shifting her weight from her left foot to her right. I found it odd how we bumped into each other the day after I told her I worked here but I didn't question it.

"You almost gave me a heart attack, I just about jumped out my skin," I told her slightly laughing at myself for getting so shaken up. She laughed and looked at me before laughing again.

"What?" I asked puzzled. "You have pancake mix in your hair," she giggled. Now I wasn't a lesbian & I'd never been with a woman, but if I didn't know any better I'd say she was kind of flirty outside the work area.. I ran my finger through my hair and sighed, looking at the time on my phone I saw that I had enough time to get home & take a nice shower before getting ready for class.

I guess Prof. Banks must have noticed because she gave me a small smile & told me she'd see me on campus before disappearing into the diner. I walked over to my red 2017 Honda Civic & unlocked the doors with my keyless entry before sliding into my seat. I started the car & backed out of the parking space, pulling off towards home.

Kendra

Im Kendra La'mone Banks, otherwise known as Prof. Banks around campus. I walked into the diner and sat down looking over the menu deciding on a small coffee with the biscuits & gravy breakfast platter. After about 5 minutes my food was being placed in front of me. I quickly said grace & dug in, wow this taste amazing...I wonder if Naomi taste even better.

Okay, so I may have a crush on one of my college students. Although we're only a few years apart I don't want to come off as a creep or pedophile..even though we're both adults here. Besides that I don't even think she's interested in women, but then again I don't really know. Friday was inching closer and closer and I still had no text or email from Naomi.

I was hoping she'd reach out to me sooner than later but I guess patience is a virtue. Honestly I didn't give her my number to go over lessons, I wanted to talk to her but I didn't want to lose my job either so I had to make it seem as professional as possible, I hope it worked. After finishing breakfast I left a tip and walked out the diner.

I unlocked my black Escalade before sliding into the seat and closing the door. I sat there for a few minutes daydreaming about Naomi & how beautiful she was. I was going to do everything in my power to make her mines, no matter how long I had to wait, even if I had to turn her out myself. I started the car and peeled out of the parking lot heading towards the small campus I taught at.

As I was walking to my lecture room, I greeted different colleagues of mine with a simple "good morning" & small smile. I unlocked the door to my room & turned on the lights before walking over to my desk to turn in my laptop. I heard a knock on the door and noticed Prof. Johnston standing in the doorway.

"Good morning Prof. Johnston, is there something I can help you with?" I asked as I furrowed my eyebrows unsure of why he was in my room instead of down the hall in his since his class started before mines. He closed the door and walked further into the room making me look at him suspiciously.

"Prof. Banks or Kendra if you don't mind me calling you by your first name, I didn't want to talk to you out in the hallway because I feel this is a personal matter..per say," he started. "Personal how? We're coworkers, I don't believe there's anything personal about that," I chuckled looking at him crazy.

"Yes well the thing is...I was hoping I could take you out to dinner Friday night around 8. I hope I'm not being too forward, I just can't help seeing you around campus and I don't see a ring on your finger so I thought maybe I should try to go for it," he gave me a soft smile but I almost threw up in my mouth. I had no desire in being with a man but he didn't know that so I just told him the first thing that came to my head.

"There may not be a ring on my finger but someone definitely does have my heart," I thought of Naomi as I was talking. Technically it wasn't a lie someone did have my heart, & that someone is Naomi Morris. She just didn't know it yet. His face fell a little bit he quickly picked it up once he noticed me looking.

"Well I apologize if I overstepped, I had no idea but I should've known a beauty like yourself would already be taken," he spoke as he got up to leave the room. "But if you and this special someone don't work out, I'm down the hall," he told me with a wink as he walked out of my room. I sat there with a slight mug on my face. Why couldn't he just take 'No' for an answer, I'm clearly not interested.

I checked the time and saw that my students would be arriving soon so I got out some notes and began to write them down on the board as students began to file in the door. I turned around and looked over the class, seeing Naomi was about to be late. I smirked to myself, knowing that if she came late I could keep her after class & most importantly to myself. Just as the bell was about to ring she came rushing into class, almost knocking me down in the process but I didn't mind.

"I'm so sorry Prof. Banks, I was in a hurry I got here as quick as I could," she started blubbering but I just shook my head and dismissed her to her seat so that I could begin. I watched my class intently as they worked. I loved my job, knowing that I'm the reason that someone else succeeds in life is a real confidence booster & touches my heart. I looked around & saw Naomi trying her hardest to stay awake. She must have felt me looking because we made brief eye contact before she sat up & began to refocus.

"Atta girl", I thought to myself as I went to my desk to sit down. I began grading papers as the bell rang & my students started to leave.

"Prof. Banks," I heard Naomi's soft sweet voice & looked up to see her standing in front of me. Her hair was in a messy bun, she had on a pink midriff shirt with high waist shorts & bright pink sandals to match. Although she looked good in clothes I wanted to see her in her birthday suit. I shook the thought from my mind before answering her.

"Yes Ms. Morris what can I do for you?" I was hoping she'd mention something about seeing me Friday. "I just wanted to ask what time you're available next Tuesday so that we could go over some things I missed," she spoke softly. She looked so tired, poor baby.

"I'm available whenever you call," I said even though my words had double meaning I'm sure she didn't catch on. "Just call me and we'll set up a destination to meet," I said again.

"Okay thank you so much, I'll let you know before Sunday, I would have tried to get together Friday but I have to work a double at the diner & Saturday is my off day so I just want to sleep in," she sighed before running her hands down her beautiful face.

"It's fine I understand, get some rest Ms. Morris you need it I can tell your exhausted," I stated, giving her a look of sympathy. I knew how it was to be young working a full time job just to pay for rent & tuition & I really felt for her. She nodded before leaving, I sat back in my chair replaying our conversation before I started to grade papers again. I couldn't wait to see her Tuesday, hopefully I can get to knew her a bit better..on more of a friendship level until I can start to ease my affection on her.
