I can barely keep my eyes open in class this morning.

When my train finally arrived last night, I had to wait around for a half an hour for Stephanie to come pick me up.

I then stayed up into the early morning finishing my assignments for today.

Sean let me be yesterday while I did some work, but I wasn’t expecting to be so ‘busy’ this weekend.

I texted him I made it in safely, and he responded immediately, meaning he was up waiting for me, so I feel kind of bad for that. He had work early this morning, so he must be as tired as I am.

The entire ride back to campus he was on my mind, especially him calling me his little princess all weekend.

I left some of my clothes at his apartment to show him I was interested in staying there temporarily.

I’m just not sure of what I want to do now that we’ve crossed a line we can’t come back from.

Would he want to go to the west coast with me?

It’s probably too soon to discuss those things anyway.

We could just fizzle out after a couple of months, and it wouldn’t even matter at that point.

But I need to figure out something quick since I have multiple job offers on the table for when I graduate.

Travis, a classmate of mine, leans over and checks out the work on my computer screen. “Damn, you’ve been busy! I’ve just barely gotten halfway done with my assignment and you’re already finished.”

“I’m quick with this stuff. It comes easy to me. I got lots of work done on the train ride back,” I laugh.

“Nice. Could you help me out sometime this week? I’m kinda stuck on a section and can’t move forward. I think if you look, you can quickly find where I screwed up.”

“Yeah, sure. Let me know when you’re free.” I whisper back.

Our professor is glaring at me, and I sit up straighter to look like I’m paying attention. This class is so boring and easy, but I need it for my degree. I always have classmates asking for help, which is fine.

It's not like I do much with my free time other than work at my part-time job. The only thing I regret about my time in college is not making many friends, but who wants to be friends with the nerdy girl that doesn’t talk much?

After class ends, Travis leans over again. “Hey, there’s a party at the football house this Friday. You should come by!”

“Oh! The house out by the woods?” I ask.

“Yeah! It’ll be a fun time! I’m sure your roommate will be there. She’s always fun.” He smirks.

Yeah, I know. Stephanie is definitely a party girl and usually has a little too much fun at these house parties. But whatever, I have very little going on anyway and could use a distraction. I miss Sean so much already, and I just want the rest of the semester to go by quickly.

“Sure, I’ll be there. Let me know when you want to meet this week to finish your assignment,” I say as I toss my backpack over my shoulder and walk out of the lecture hall.

“I’ll text you!” Travis calls out, and I wave back in response.

A yawn escapes my mouth, and it makes my eyes water. Fuck, I really need a nap, and I have a few hours between classes. Perfect. I shoot Sean a ‘Good Morning’ text and head back to my dorm room to knock out for a bit before my next class today.

SEAN

R eceiving her text this morning made my day instantly better.

I stayed up until she got back to make sure she was safe.

It was worth it to be tired today. As always, there is a parking lot full of cars that need to be estimated and worked on this week, but what I have planned for this weekend will make the week fly by.

I haven’t told Michelle that I plan on driving down on Friday; I want it to be a surprise.

We talked about a lot this past weekend, and one thing that excited me the most is that she has an extensive ‘sex bucket list.’ Apparently, her ex was too chickenshit to try anything fun with her, but I’m just glad I’ll be the one to fulfill everything she wants to try.

Even if it’s just once. A CNC role play scene was at the top of her list, and I intend to try it out this weekend. I just hope I can find a remote enough place to do it at.

“Hey Mike,” I call out to my boss who’s working in the bay next to mine.

“Yeah. What’s up, kid?” He’s always treated me like a son and has taught me a lot since being here. Hell, if it weren’t for him, I would be doing oil changes at a Jiffy Lube instead of rebuilding engines and doing more technical work.

“I-uh, wanna take a half day on Friday. Or at least leave a couple of hours early.” I shrug.

“Shouldn’t be an issue. Got special plans?” He looks over at me with his eyebrows raised, and I laugh. “You’ve been preoccupied these last few days,” he mentions as he wipes his hands clean.

“Uh, yeah. Sorry. Been seeing a new girl, and I want to go visit her this weekend,” I say.

“Fair enough. But it’s not the weekend yet and we’ve got loads to do, kid. Stay focused and you can take off early Friday.” He pops his head back under the hood of the Ram he is working on.

He’s right, I need to keep my focus on my work. I had been too busy daydreaming about my secret admirer lately that I’d been moving slower than usual at work. And now, after the weekend I just spent with Michelle, my mind is a damn mess.

During lunch, I log onto my page to check out any new comments. Ever since that one person left that negative comment, I’ve been diligently checking to make sure they don’t comment again. It could have just been a jealous follower, but then again, maybe someone knows something they shouldn’t?

Anna hasn’t texted me back since our last interaction, which I find strange, since she is manipulative and doesn’t know when to stop. When I first broke things off with her, she wouldn’t move out at first, and when I finally kicked her out, she wouldn’t stop trying to contact me.

The guy she cheated on me with let her stay with him, but apparently they’re broken up now, so I don’t know where she’s at. It makes me feel uneasy that she came over and got upset that I was with someone else.

What if she’s watching me so she can see who it is?

Maybe I’m just being paranoid. But with Michelle watching me and breaking into my place, now I’m nervous that Anna will do the same.

Which is why I’m going out to see Michelle and booking a motel room this weekend, instead of having her come out to see me.

No new negative comments, but tons of ones wanting more of me and Michelle, so I send her a quick text before getting back to work.

Sean: Have you checked out the comments on our debut video? If not, you should. The fans are loving you and want to see more… what do you think?

I only have four more days before I see her again, and my cock is throbbing with need. The time better fly by quickly or I’ll drive down sooner than planned. In the meantime, I’ll distract myself with learning a few more words of Spanish for her every day.
