Mary sat on her bed staring at her laptop screen; her first year of university had come down to two numbers, 3.0. Happy to have passed, she had been hopeful of higher grades to prepare herself for future admission requirements when she figured out what she wanted to be. Closing the lid with a gentle hand she told herself she would do much better next year.
Only a couple days stood between her and summer break and she had still not decided whether she would be going home or staying in the city. Finding work in her small town would almost impossible and part-time minimum wage would not pad her bank account for next year. It was decided, she would let her parents know she intended to stay in the city and work for the summer.
Strolling around campus always helped Mary think clearer. This time she was focusing on money and making as much as she could over the summer. Every imaginable job popped into her mind from McDonalds to being a stripper. She had known of a few girls who took jobs a few hours away to strip for the summer, but that wasn't for her or maybe she just hadn't gotten desperate enough yet.
Whether it was instinctive or accidental, she found herself at the foot of the faculty administration building. Looking up she found Gilles office window and watched for any sign of his presence. It had been over a week since she had spent any time with him. Slow and methodical she made her way up the steps and pulled the heavy door open before stepping inside.
Tapping gently on Gilles door her heart began to race at the sound of life from inside the office.
"What a nice surprise!" Gilles smiled. "I wasn't sure if you had already went home for the summer or not."
"I wouldn't leave without saying good-bye to my favourite professor." Mary stared devilishly at him.
"I would hope not!"
Gilles waved Mary into the office and closed the door behind them and sat beside her on the couch, "So, is this good-bye until fall?"
"I hope not." Mary smiled, "If I can find work, I plan on staying."
"Hmm." Gilles rubbed his chin in thought, "Any type of work in particular or?"
"I don't really have anything specific in mind, I just need to make as much as possible."
Opening his wallet, Gilles feathered the empty bill fold open, "There goes that idea!"
Mary swatted him, "A real job!"
Laughing, he fumbled the wallet closed before returning it to his pocket, "Let me think on it and ask around campus to see if anyone needs an assistant okay?"
"Thank you so much!" leaning over she attempted to kiss him on the cheek. Gilles caught her face gently in both hands and put his lips to hers.
Their kiss was gentle and loving. Mary wrapped her tiny arms around his neck and lay back against the arm of the couch. After a slight readjustment of their bodies, Gilles was on top of her pressing himself against her as their tongues danced furiously. Mary wanted nothing more than to have him inside her, but her monthly visitor had come earlier in the day and she was not letting that happen.
