#3

Brandi was surprised to see Rick in her classroom. Small Business Planning was a required part of his degree, so she knew he'd have to retake it, but she wasn't the only professor who offered it. She was pretty sure she'd assured that the little creep wouldn't darken her class list ever again after rejecting his creepy, mysogynistic project and failing him.

"Can I help you, Rick?" she asked in a tone that said 'You're clearly in the wrong place, move along.'.

"Actually, I came to apologize, Professor," he said.

Brandi raised an eyebrow. THAT was unexpected.

"For...." she prompted.

There were dozens of things he SHOULD apologize for, but Brandi knew these creepy freshmen well enough not to assume that HE knew what he should apologize for.

"I'm sorry I said you were being unreasonable last spring," he clarified. "You're obviously a very reasonable woman and if I'd only made more reasonable requests, you would have accommodated me. That was the real lesson you were trying to teach me right? Admit it."

Brandi smiled and nodded.

"Yes, that was the lesson!" she admitted. "Make reasonable requests and you'll get much further than with reasonable demands! You'll get much further in my class and in your career if you keep that attitude."

"Great," he said. "Then show me your ass."

"My ass?" she asked for clarification.

"Your ass," he confirmed.

That was a reasonable request. And Brandi was a reasonable woman. She pulled her skirt down and showed Rick her ass.

"I was right," he confirmed. "You're a reasonable woman who agrees to reasonable requests. We're going to get along just fine now, Sweet Cheeks."

Brandi scowled.

"You will NOT call me 'Sweet Cheeks!' young man!" she exclaimed. "I'm your professor! That's totally inappropriate!"

"Ah, but class doesn't even start for another week," he pointed out. "So let me call you by any nickname as long as class isn't in session and only insist that I call you Professor Love-Jugs when you're lecturing."

Brandi sighed. She had forgotten they weren't in class. She wasn't used to meeting with students in the lecture hall outside of class time. Of course it was reasonable for him to use nicknames outside of lecture time.

"Sorry," she said. "Just remember it's only Professor Love-Jugs during actual class time."

"That's a reasonable request," Rick conceded. "Oh, and speaking of which, I actually had another request for you."

"As long as it's reasonable," she reminded.
