If You Want the A: The Professors, #1

By Kimber Haig

Sophia is a college freshman, an Hispanic girl struggling in her Composition 1 class despite working very hard. When she can't get her grade above a C, her roommate tells her that her sister had the same professor and his policy was, "If you want the A, you have to take the D. His D."

Professor Stanley Wakefield is an attractive older man, but Sophia doesn't want to sleep with him for her grade. She doesn't want to ... but soon enough she finds herself alone with him in his vacation cabin during Thanksgiving break.

Once alone and away from the university, Sophia finds out that Professor Wakefield isn't the monster she expected him to be. She might even enjoy earning her grade.

Kimber Haig always wanted to travel the world, but a lack of finances has kept her living within a 200 mile radius of where she was born. Fortunately, there were always books to take her to faraway and exotic locales. As a single mother, her favorite time of the day is late at night when the kids are finally sleeping and she can slide into a hot bubble bath with a glass of wine, a steamy story, and perhaps a toy that isn’t a rubber ducky.

Chapter 1

Sophia looked at the computer screen, its rectangle of light the only bright thing in the room. She could feel that she was chewing at her lip again as she balanced the laptop’s edge against her flat belly, it’s bottom against her raised thighs. She had an A in every class except one. English Composition 1113 was still showing a C. No matter how hard she worked on her essays, how many times she went to the Communications Lab for help and proofreading, she couldn’t get above a C on anything she turned in to the professor.

Is it still a C? Daniela’s voice came from the darkness on the other side of the room.

Yes. Sophia looked toward her roommate’s bed, but her eyes were adjusted to the glare of the computer screen and she couldn’t see anything. She’d been lucky to get Dani Martinez as a roommate. There weren’t that many other Hispanic freshmen girls on the campus of this regional university in eastern Oklahoma, and if Sophia needed anything, it was a friend. I just don’t know what I have to do, she complained.

Suddenly Dani’s form materialized from the darkness beside Sophia’s bed. Scoot over, she said as she raised the covers. Sophia wriggled away to make room for her friend. Both girls wore T-shirts and panties. A wave of cold air washed under the covers when Dani raised them. When the other girl got into the bed their legs pressed together.

You’re cold, Sophia said. She didn’t move away.

I was waiting for my toenail polish to dry, Dani said. You’re nice and warm. Give me the laptop.

Sophia gave her average grade one final look, then handed the machine over. Dani closed the screen and put the computer on the table beside the bed, then turned her body to face Sophia. She shivered once, then pulled Sophia toward her so they lay face to face, Dani’s cold legs pressed against Sophia’s warm ones.

What would Kevin say about this? Sophia teased. She was still a little surprised by her roommate’s tendency to be very familiar with her. She’d slept in the same bed with other girls many times in high school and before during slumber parties, but never in a twin bed and she’d never cuddled the way Dani liked to do. She didn’t really mind it so much. Dani had never tried to make it sexual, and Sophia knew she had Kevin, a guy she’d been dating for almost a year.

He wouldn’t say anything, Dani answered. His mouth would just be hanging open. Besides, he knows I like girls sometimes.

You do? Sophia asked, suddenly feeling a little more awkward.

Who doesn’t? Don’t you?

I’ve never ... Sophia began. She wondered suddenly if her friend was going to lean in and kiss her,
