"OK class, that's it for today. See you all next week." The students of the upper level psychology class began simultaneously collecting their papers and belongings as the professor dismissed them from what had been another utterly boring lecture.
Mike gathered his notes and was looking down into his bag when he felt someone brush against his right arm. He looked up into the face of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. "Um, hi there," Traci said with a wide, sexy smile.
He first had met Traci during his freshman year at college when they had been randomly assigned to the same floor of the dorm. They met only a few days into the school year when the dorm held a social event for the incoming freshmen.
From the moment he saw her Mike had been infatuated with Traci. Her brown hair flowed beautifully off her head in gentle waves and stopped a few inches below her shoulders. Her captivating eyes were a light brown and her face had the most perfectly flawless skin he had ever seen.
Her beauty was almost intimidating and although she was always pleasant to him Mike could never gather the courage to ask her out. He spent much of his freshman year trying to convince himself he could do it only to lose his nerve at the last moment. Still, he enjoyed becoming, if not a close friend, at least a frequent acquaintance of hers.
Traci rushed a sorority at the start of her sophomore year and moved out of the dorm, so Mike didn't see her as often as before. Happily, Mike and Traci had the same major so they still shared at least one class together each semester. During the more boring parts of these classes Mike often would seek her out in the room and daydream about her.
By coincidence they had both ended up in the same elective psychology class in the first semester of their junior year. "Hi Traci," Mike replied trying not to get lost in her perfect face or glance at her ample tits.
Traci smiled a funny sort of smile and pushed her hands coyly into the pockets of her tight jeans. She began swaying from side to side in a cute, nervous little girl way that Mike found wildly arousing. "So, um, I hear that your birthday is coming up," she said as she continued swaying hypnotically.
It was true that Mike's birthday was about three weeks away, and he wondered how she knew that. "Um, yeah," Mike answered.
"I was thinking it might be fun if we got together and celebrated," she said.
"Great," Mike replied trying to conceal his excitement.
Traci remained next to him and Mike became very aware that her thigh had started brushing back and forth rhythmically against his shoulder. "So have you seen the pairings for the group projects?" she asked.
Mike knew the professor had posted the pairings for the group project before today's class, but he had been running late and hadn't looked at the list before class. This was the second time so far the professor had done this sort of assignment. He randomly paired the students together, posted the list on Thursday, and then made the assignment due the following Tuesday. This virtually guaranteed that the students had to spend their weekend working together on the project.
The last time Mike had been paired with a guy who clearly couldn't have cared less about the class or the project. In the end Mike had done all the work himself and had wasted much of his weekend hanging out with someone he really didn't like. Undoubtedly he would again be paired with some loser and would end up doing all the work himself after being forced to waste his weekend with them.
"No," Mike answered, "how about you? Who did you get stuck with?"
Traci's smile got a little wider before she said, "Looks like we're a team."
"Really?" Mike asked trying to hide his excitement.
"Yep," she said before poking him playfully on his arm. She then added in a teasing tone, "Now you're not going to make me do all the work are you?"
"Never," Mike answered still not believing how well this had turned out.
He and Traci talked and quickly made plans to get together and work on the project. She had other commitments that night so they decided to get together and work on the assignment Friday night. Normally, Mike hated doing homework on Friday nights but this didn't seem like homework since he would be hanging out with Traci.
They said goodbye and Mike watched her ass as she walked out of the room. On his way out he stopped and picked up the video they were supposed to watch for the project. Their assignment was to watch a taped interview and then analyze it in light of what they had been discussing in class the past few days.
All day Friday Mike couldn't believe his luck at being paired with Traci. His class load was light on Fridays so he spent most of the day looking forward to that night.
The second huge stroke of luck was that Mike's roommate had already planned a trip home for the weekend, so Mike had the apartment to himself. Knowing this he had eagerly suggested that they get together and work at his place. Of course didn't tell Traci that he did it because he knew they'd be alone. He reasoned it would be more comfortable than the small video booths they had at the library for projects like this and she said it would certainly be better than trying to work at the sorority house on a weekend. With that they decided to meet at Mike's place.
