The Professor's Women
Chapter Five: She Becomes a Woman.
The happy couple walked across the sidewalk and under a canopy that had 'Jim's Steak House' printed in script on it. The doorman opened the massive bronze door and they walked into the lobby and across to the elevator.
Traci had a puzzled look on her face and when her daddy pressed the down button, he said "The restaurant is downstairs sweetheart". Just then the elevator doors opened and they stepped inside. The elevator doors closed and soon after that, opened and they walked into the most decadent scene she had ever seen in her life.
She looked at her father and said quietly "This looks like what I imagined Babylon must have looked like from all the books I've read."
"Honey, this place is much more decadent than Babylon, this is Peoria, the Las Vegas of Illinois. What happens here, stays here!" her father whispered into her ear. After hearing that, she broke out into a fit of uncontrollable giggles.
Just then the maรฎtre d walked up to them and the professor said "Reservation for two under Powel."
"Very good Professor Powel, follow me please" said the man in the white tie and tails.
"Daddy, how do they know who you are?" Traci whispered in her daddy's ear as they walked through the restaurant.
"Sweetheart, we have our department board meetings in the back room here. Don't worry, this is Peoria and nobody cares what happens here."
They were led to a secluded booth in the rear of the restaurant and were seated next to each other so that no one else could see them. Their waitress, a busty redhead whose name was Roxy filled their water glasses and gave them their menus and disappeared.
"Daddy, how did you know about this table?" Traci asked.
"Do you know Doctor Johnson in the Physical Chemistry department?" her daddy said.
"Do you mean the really tall black man with all those kids?" She asked.
"Yes that's the one," he said, "he has a girlfriend who lives here in Peoria and when he visits her about once a month they have dinner here. He told me about this table last year when we had our board meeting. I just never had a reason to use my knowledge of it until now."
Tracy looked at him with a worried look on her face and said "They must think that I am some kind of whore or something daddy, I'm so embarrassed."
"Oh my sweet little princess," he said, "these people do not judge or question anyone. There are no whores or prostitutes here. The professional women that are in this room tonight make more money than I do; hell, they probably make more than the president of the university does. That is why I chose this place, for the total anonymity that it provides."
'There he goes calling me princess again. Does he know what that word does to me?' she thought as she snapped out of her funk.
Just then Roxy, their waitress, showed up and asked if they were ready to order. The professor said "Princess would you like me to order for you."
"Yes darling, you know what I like" she said as sophisticatedly as she could muster.
The professor then said to Roxy "The young lady would like the house salad with your house dressing, a prime ribeye, medium, and a baked potato with butter and sour cream. I would like the same salad, a prime T-bone medium and baked potato, butter and sour cream also. We would also like a bottle of your house reserve red and two glasses."
Roxy answered "Very good sir", took their menus and left.
The rest of the evening went quietly as they leisurely ate and drank their fill for the next two hours. Traci completely relaxed and forgot all about her surroundings. She felt like the only people in the room were her and her daddy. When Roxy came to clear there dinner plates she asked them if they wanted to see the desert menu.
Traci whispered in her daddy's ear "Do they have any cheesecake? And could we take it to go back to the room?"
