• All his prep work was done - he had gotten there far too early, but had woken up hours before his alarm, as had become habit of late, and therefore had headed to work hours early - and so, he was bored, and thus wasting time.... -- Aiden, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 9:22pm PDT
  • She cocked a brow at his tone and sighed softly, seemed like this was going to be a long semester. "I was told to be here early." She stated, taking a few long legged steps towards him after reaching into her bag and pulling out a box of fresh markers. She stood behind him, still not able to see his face but she did extend the box of markers out, offering them as sort of a peace treaty. (NT) -- Keilana, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 9:26pm PDT

  ---

• "Ah, you come bearing gifts..." He commented as he shifted slowly off the stool and turned to stand - about to take the box and say something more, but for whatever reason, his words stuck in his mouth and his tongue felt like jelly as he took in the woman before him. Exhaling a low breath, he cleared his throat, brows raising - this was all to surreal. "Am I dreaming? Halluncinating maybe - I am pretty short on sleep.." (NT) -- Aiden, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 9:31pm PDT

  ---

• She took a step back, letting out a soft breath as her brow furrowed, confused. "Aiden...McKay?" She questioned, her voice incredably disbelieving. "Wow, well, this is awkward." She let out a soft breath, her brow furrowed as she shook her head. "I am the TA this semester...." Her voice was soft and lightly confused before she cleared her throat, offering a slight shrug. "Your boss is very excited to have me here." Her voice was softly sarcastic, knowing he probably wasn't overly thrilled with this. (NT) -- Keilana, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 9:35pm PDT

  ---

• He shifted back the slight step to sit on the edge of the stool again, unable to surpress the disbelieving laugh that escaped. Tipping his head back, his eyes turned skywards and he ran his hands slowly down his face. It wasn't even that he disliked the girl - that was hardly the case - but she was right, this really was awkward. "Yeah, that's me... Professor Aiden McKay." (NT) -- Aiden, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 9:38pm PDT

  ---

• "Gre.....at." The word was drug out and flat when she spoke it before she just rolled her eyes and turned. She may as well make the most of this before she went back and grabbed her messenger bag, bringing it to the table in front of him. Way to ruin the element of professionalism - sleep with the man your assisting without even know his last name. "Well, since I am sure you have a total lack of respect for me on a professional level, let me show you my resume and reccomendation letters." She handed him the portfolio before she went back to the messenger bag to pull out the binder she had with his course list in it. "This is the information I was given about your course and the way you taught, these are just some of the ideas I had to go along with them but of course they are just suggestions." She was the picture of professionalism. (NT) -- Keilana, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 9:47pm PDT

  ---

• He was silent throughout her entire chatter, just glancing quickly at the file before handing it back to her - he really didn't doubt she was qualified, especially given how much administration had been ranting about this Ms. Conners. And he even didn't doubt her professionalism - he had taken part in the exact same thing she had, and if anything he was pretty sure he should have been the one proving his worthiness. "Alright.." (NT) -- Aiden, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 9:54pm PDT

  ---

• "So, you just tell me what you want." She stated before she flushed at the way that sounded, in fact, she thought she had said that same phrase to him in bed the past week. "...me to do...with the class...and I will get to it." She stated, letting out a low breath. This was an absolute disaster and right now she would like nothing better then to crawl in a hole and die. She didn't really think anything less of him because , as said, they had both taken part in the same activity but perhaps some part of her had hoped he would at least stick around the night and was a little put off by that.... (NT) -- Keilana, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 9:57pm PDT

  ---

• Crossing his arms over his chest, he nodded slowly, doing what he could to smother his smirk at the beginning of her statement. He exhaled a low sigh and shifted from the stool to move over to his chair behind his desk, taking the binder from her and casually flipping through the pages. "Sounds good..." (NT) -- Aiden, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 10:02pm PDT

  ---

• "Right." He was just doing a great job at giving her something to do to keep her mind and hands busy. She let out a soft breath, running a hand through her long blonde curls that not to long ago he'd had fisted in his hands. "What would you like me to do now?" She questioned, her arms crossing over her chest. It was no doubt, while the girls had come here for him, the guys in his class would now be scurrying to get a front seat in Lit. (NT) -- Keilana, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 10:06pm PDT

  ---

• "Uh, there's a box of markers over there - the dead ones can make their way into the garbage." He was just teasing though - he honestly didn't know what to do or say for himself either and just wanted things not to be so uncomfortable. "You can look these over if you want..." He shrugged a touch and handed her over his own binder - personal notes and brief outlines sketched neatly. "Pretty much the same as everything that you have though..." (NT) -- Aiden, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 10:09pm PDT

  ---

• She made a face at him before she picked his binder. "The first time you tell me to go get you coffee, I am dumping it on you." She stated ever so seriously before she let out a soft breath and sank down into her chair, gazing over the papers before she looked up. "So honestly, what do you want me to do here? Like, am I going to be one of those TA's that just grades papers and stuff like that?" She ran her hand over her hair once more before she leaned forward, elbows on the desk. "I really am more then capable." She reassured him, her hand shifting to close the binder. (NT) -- Keilana, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 10:15pm PDT

  ---

• "So you teach - and I'll go for coffee." He cocked a brow at her and leaned back in his chair, arms crossing slowly over his chest - he appreciated her enthusiasm, but the truth was, he was the professor and she was the TA. He had done his time and it was her turn. "We'll see what comes up. You'll grade some papers, yes. I won't lie about that." (NT) -- Aiden, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 10:19pm PDT

  ---

• She sighed softly but nodded like a good little girl. Though she was anything but a girl, at times those big brown eyes could give off the impression that she was definately a child at heart. "Right. I get it." She bit her lip before she leaned back, turning her gaze away from him to scan the lecture hall with a soft breath, gnawing at the corner of her lip in a familiar manner. It seemed so strange to be in this part of the audiatoriam instead of up there where the students would be. Now, especially with him as the proff, She was feeling suddenly to young, childish and underqualified for this. Not to mention he had seen her naked and that was just a little bit unsettling. (NT) -- Keilana, Wed, Sep 22 2004, 10:33pm PDT

  ---

• "Figures, doesn't it?" He commented after a long moment of silence - leaning back in his chair and slowly stretching his arms above his head with a quiet sigh. This really was unbelievable - she had been his one-night-stand, hell, he had been hers, and now here they were again. He truly had been counting on the fact he would never see her again - that really made things so much simpler. (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 1:34pm PDT

  ---

• "Yeah, sorry to complicate things for you." She stated, her eyes down on the lesson plan for the day though she was getting the feeling she would just be sitting back and watching - just there to look pretty. She was quiet for a long moment before she looked up, her jaw set. "Look, I think we should just pretend that that night never happened." It was hard though, because it hadn't been a bad experience. He'd been a considerate, incredable lover, and even when they were just talking they got along fabulously. (NT) -- Keilana, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 1:39pm PDT

  ---

• "Hey - not your fault..." He assured her quietly, brow gently furrowed for a moment before he just shrugged a touch and nodded slowly. "Sure, if that's what you want... Think'll make things easier.." That idea really hadn't even occured to him, but he had no more ideas about how to act than she did and so figured if that would help her out at least - he was game. (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 2:02pm PDT

  ---

• She nodded a bit, running her hand lightly down her face before she let out a soft breath. This sucked on so many different levels, she had actually met someone she liked and he ended up just being on a one night stand, not only had she been kinda dissed in a way, she now had to face that rejection every day. Not only that, but he probably figured her for some trashy little hooch instead of the capable professional she could be. This was great. (NT) -- Keilana, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 2:06pm PDT

  ---

• That was hardly the case - he had been impressed by her personality the moment they had met, and now he was impressed by her preparedness and professionalism. He was pretty sure her liked her as a person, and he had to admit that one night had been unbelievable, but the very idea of anything more had him wanting to run for the hills - he'd been burned one time too many and couldn't go through that again. Relationships led to heartbreak - that was the extent of his knowledge. (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 2:10pm PDT

  ---

• She sighed softly, brushing her hair back from her face as the first students started trickling in through the door. As expected, most of the guys stopped to look twice at the pretty Keilana. She didn't even really pay attention to that at all though, barely even noticed as she just waited to see what he would want her to do - though she expected it to be just what she was doing now - sitting still and keeping quiet. (NT) -- Keilana, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 2:14pm PDT

  ---

• His gaze lingered on her for a moment before he stood slowly - murmuring quietly to her as he passed, unable to help the reassuring tone to his voice. "Relax." It wasn't so long ago that he was facing his first day infront of an auditorium, he knew, everything else forgotten, there was no way she wasn't atleast a little nervous. Cocking a brow at her, he headed over to chat with a couple of the students about the reading and how their other classes were going - he had a reputation for being amicable, always interacting with the 'kids', who sometimes weren't much or at all younger than him. (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 2:18pm PDT

  ---

• She sighed softly, tilting her head to the side for a brief moment before she watched him go over to the students. She had to stop herself from biting her lip out of nervousness, but soon enough curious students were coming over to see who she was so she just smiled and chatted about who she was and where she came from. The hottest topic was that she was from Hawaii and a 'surf chick'. (NT) -- Keilana, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 2:24pm PDT

  ---

• He socialized for a few more moments until the scheduled start time, and then sent anyone standing to find seats as he stepped back down to the front, gaze lingering on her briefly and then sweeping over the group. Flipping on his mic - he didn't really need it, but they recorded all the classes these days for student future reference - he winked over his shoulder at her before getting the class going. He spent the first while going over reading and hosting a discussion - getting all the 'business' taken care of - and then gave a brief introduction of her before stepping back and gesturing her to the front to tell everyone a bit about herself and answer any questions.. (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 2:32pm PDT

  ---

• She stepped up to the microphone - she needed it more then he did - and smiled a little nervously, not even noticing how most of the male students were suddenly paying very close attention. "Well, some of you I met before class but just to recap my name is Keilana Conners and I recently relocated back here from Hawaii and yes, before anyone asks, I do know how to surf and hula and no I will not teach you." She paused at a few laughs and smiles before she brushed her hair over her shoulder. "I am in my junior year of grad school and I am an English major with a journalism minor so someday I may be famous and you can all say you knew me when." She pursed her lips, shrugging a bit. "Any questions?" Of course, the first one was how old she was and she just laughed, shaking her head at the boy. "Didn't your mama teach you its not polite to ask a girl her age?" (NT) -- Keilana, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 7:23pm PDT

  ---

• He had retreated to sit on the edge of his desk as she chatted away at the kids - there were only a few minutes left anyway and he figured they could afford to waste the time giving her a chance to get comfortable. Arms crossed over his chest, a small smirk played over his lips, chin tipped up ever-so-slightly - the guys responded to her much like the girls responded to him, and though it was frustrating at times to have so much attention because of something so material, he was just thankful at times that he had their attention. (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 9:54pm PDT

  ---

• Soon enough the class was dismissed and she was heading over to her desk to put her things away into the bag, her brow slightly furrowed as she thought things over. There was a lot going on here that was more then just being a TA and she wasn't quite sure how to handle it. Her lips pursed gently as she slid her binder her bag, then turned to grab her lesson plans. (NT) -- Keilana, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 9:58pm PDT

  ---

• A couple of the kids had hung around with some questions, so he was sitting on his desk still - chatting away at them and willingly going about helping. Once everything was cleared up, he said his goodbyes and then shifted off to stand again - going around to the other side to pack up his stuff as well, gaze shifting to her every few moments. (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 10:14pm PDT

  ---

• She didn't know if he had other classes after this one or what so she just shifted her bag over her shoulder, turning to him after all was settled. "Well, have a good day." She stated with a smile before she turned, heading towards the door. (NT) -- Keilana, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 10:16pm PDT

  ---

• He cocked a brow but nodded a touch, shifting his bag over his shoulder as well - he supposed it was easier for him to let things go than it was for her, but he didn't hadn't really expected her to be so cold. "Alright..." If things were like this all time, it was going to be a really long semester. (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 10:22pm PDT

  ---

• She nodded a bit with a smile before paused. "Oh, here." She paused a moment before she pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled down her name and cell phone number on it. "In case you ever need to get ahold of me concerning the class." She stated, handing it to him before she smiled lightly again. She planned on heading to the cafe to get some food after this and then to check out some of the other departments here. (NT) -- Keilana, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 10:24pm PDT

  ---

• "And your name so I can keep all the girl's numbers straight." He teased halfheartedly, glancing at the paper before tucking it into his pocket, and then slowly crossing his arms over his chest, leading the way out quietly. "So what's next on your agenda for the day?" (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 10:34pm PDT

  ---

• She smirked but avoided the playful banter instead just stepping out of the classroom and pausing once they were in the hall. "Well, I heard the pasta in the cafe is amazing, so I thought I would go test that theory and then check out some of the other departments and see if I can meet some of the other professors or TA's around here. My social life is severely lacking." (NT) -- Keilana, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 10:37pm PDT

  ---

• "Stay away from the BLT. Had me laid up in bed for a week last year... I lost like ten pounds, and I really don't have ten to lose." He winked, but exhaled softly a moment later, lingering just outside the door - he wasn't going to invited himself along. Things were awkward anyway, he couldn't justify them spending any more time together than they had to. "Alright... Guess I'll see you Tuesday then.." (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 10:44pm PDT

  ---

• She nodded at that, smiling a bit again. "Yeah, definately." She nodded at that before she turned, heading down the hallway to wander around until she found the cafe.... (NT) -- Keilana, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 10:46pm PDT

  ---

• "See ya.." He watched her go before heading off in the opposite direction, slowly wandering down the path until he spotted an older colleague up ahead, then jogged a couple steps to catch up with the man - making idle conversation as they strolled towards the parking lot, thankful for the distraction to keep his mind away from the weird day.. (NT) -- Aiden, Thu, Sep 23 2004, 10:59pm PDT
