Chapter 12: Professor Morris's Tutoring Session
Since I was so weak from the intense movie session that happened. Quinn picked me up and carried me back to my room on my bed. I would have been blown away at his action but I was too drunk tired to even notice it.
After we finished the movie I got my first sample of Vodka. Quinn made me drink it, even though I didn't want it and I wasn't surprise at how bad it tasted, knowing from my friends habits back in high school. I also tried weed for the first time, Keon had provided. To my surprise I actually liked it. What really topped the night for me was Quinn letting me lay on him while we smoked and drank together and watched TV. It felt so right being between him like that with his arm around me. It was almost like we were a newfound couple. The whole night was definitely full of firsts that I will never forget.
I woke up the next morning feeling the worst I had ever felt in a long time. My ass was sore, my legs were cramped from all the positions I was in, and my throat was sore. I had slept in a really bad position causing my arms to feel out of place. I really didn’t feel like going to class at all, but I had to make up for the last two classes I had missed. This was definitely not a good start for me.
I took my time doing my normal morning duties not really caring if I was late. I decided to peak in Quinn's room before I left and to my surprise he wasn't there. I figured maybe he had gone to class early, but it was strange that he wasn't as hung over as I was.
When I arrived at my math class, Professor Morris had just begun to teach about the subject. I looked around for Jamal but I didn't see him. That's when I felt bad. I totally forgot about that argument we had. I hope that he doesn't skip class because of me.
I sat near the front and noticed Professor Morris's eyes on me the whole time. He looked like he was trying to figure out what was wrong with me but he still kept on teaching. Class of course drug on and I started getting sleepy, as soon as I was about to go into a deep sleep I heard all the chairs moving around startling me. Everyone is leaving.
I went to get up but Professor Morris stopped me, "Tyler can I talk to you for a second?" "Yeah sure sir." I say. We walk over to his desk and waited for everyone to leave the class. "Tyler, are you feeling okay? You don't look so well." Professor Morris asked once everyone left. "I'm just a little tired that’s all, you know from all the studying from classes." I say covering up the real truth.
"I see... You know if your struggling with anything, Darius can help out?" he asked.
"Don't worry he's already done that... I mean..." Opps did I just say that out loud???
"Oh, okay. Well I don't want to see you missing anymore of my classes, so if you really need help don't be afraid to stop by my office." He said. He took out a pen and wrote on a piece of paper and gave it to me. "This is the number to my office, I'm usually available everyday until 9. Just let me know ahead of time." he said. "Thanks Professor Morris... but... I have to wonder... Why are you trying to help me so much?" I ask in curiosity.
"Well I kinda feel for you, I know what its like to be the only minority in school. I didn't get help when I was growing up in an all white school back in the 60's, but I feel like now things have changed and its time to give back." he said.
"Gotcha. Well thanks professor." I say walking away.
"Get some rest too!" He shouted.
When I got back to my room I decided to start on my homework immediately. I really needed to show the Professor that I do care, and all this fuckin' around I was doing was not going to help.
I was about two hours into my assignment when I heard a knock on my door. I go to the door and see Darius standing there with a huge a grin on his face.
"Hi Darius... wassup dude?" I ask happy to see him.
"Hey my dad told me all about you needing some help with math, he wanted me to stop by and check up on you." He said.
"Oh... I'm okay... No problems." I say. "Did you want to come in?" I ask.
"Actually I'm heading over to my dad's office now, were going to the gym." he said. Then I realized he had his gym clothes on.
"You know what, I do have a few questions on a few problems... do you mind if I walk with you?" I say.
"No problem man." he said happily. I went and grabbed my books really quick and we walked out together.
On our way to Mr. Morris's office, I asked him how he knew how I knew about Mr. Morris being his father. "He told me that he saw you on your way out of my room." He responded. "Oh I guess that makes since." I say feeling a little embarrassed about the obvious question.
"Anyway about the last time we met up." Darius started. "I don't think I told you, but that was the best sex I ever had in my life." I smiled from his comment. "I've been with only two other guys before and a female, but
you
?... You topped everything on my freak wish list." he said with a laugh. "Where did you learn to do all that?" he asked.
"Thanks, but I can't talk about that." I say.
"I see. Well If you ever wanna do that again, my door is always opened for you." he said.
"Cool man, I'll let you know." I say with a friendly smile.
We arrived at Mr. Morris's office. It was a pretty big office, definitely not what I was expecting furnishing wise but it still looked nice.
"Hey Darius... Oh, Tyler! I wasn't expecting you." Mr. Morris said noticing me. He stood up from his seat, giving me a view of his half exposed body. My mouth dropped from looking at all the muscle packed on him covered by arm cut T-shirt and gym shorts. He was just as built as Tayshawn but Tayshawn was taller. He looked damn sexy for a man in his late forties! "I'm sorry Professor." I say. "I just had a few questions, but I see since your about to go and work out it can wait." I say.
"Oh, no don't worry about it. I don't have another class to go to, just the gym and the gym can wait." He said. "You don't mind do you Darius?" I ask.
