Guess who

The curtain was pulled open so abruptly I actually came inside of Bridget in surprise. Thank God she has been on the pill since we started dating. Once my dick began to soften I was able to pull out of Bridget and turn to face the person who had caught us. I couldn't believe my eyes. "Scarlet!?"

It was that wily redhead who always kept me on my toes. She was wearing a turquoise bathrobe with her hair all wet and her signature impish grin plastered all over her face as she looked at me. "What are you doing here?"

"You do realize this the girls' locker room, yes? I should be asking you that question." I saw Scarlet's eyes fall down to my penis so I blushed as I covered it with my hands. Scarlet pulled a towel off a hook next to the shower stall. At first, I thought she was handing it to me so I reached out. Instead she gave it to Bridget who hiding right behind me.

"Thank you Scarlet." Bridget wrapped the towel around her body.

"Don't mention it, sorry to interrupt your fun time." Scarlet winked at both of us.

"Like you didn't know it was me." I stepped out of the shower stall still holding my junk.

"I always hear the rumors Teach, but you know me, I always have to peek to make sure." Wrapped fully in a towel, Bridget followed me out of the shower and leaned into my arm as we faced her friend. "But maybe you would like to clear things up for me. Give me the details as to how my friend and my favorite teacher ended up showering together in the lady's room?"

There was no point keeping anything from her. Scarlet would just find out later, so to avoid complications, Bridget and I told her about my arrangement to make this space my temporary changing room for art class and about my deal with the dean. In a way, I was actually relieved it was Scarlet who caught us in the shower together. Things would have been much worse if someone else found a male teacher having sex with a student in the women's locker room. At least Scarlet was supportive of mine and Bridget's relationship in her underhanded blackmailing kind of way.

Once we finished explaining Scarlet clapped her hands, "Well alright then, good for you Prof. I guess I will be seeing more of you in here then right?" Scarlet giggled and I rolled my eyes looking around for another towel. I spotted one hanging by a stall at the very end of the shower area. I walked towards it allowing Bridget and Scarlet a view of my wet naked ass. As they both smiled in my direction Bridget turned to her friend, "So now you know why we are here. How about you? You are not part of any athletic club so why grab a shower here?"

"Oh yeah, let's just say you two aren't the only lovebirds who flew down her for some naughty fun time. Come on out babe!" Scarlet called out. Just like that, a muscular arm reached out of the stall I was approaching and swiped the one and only towel that was left in the shower room. There was a fourth person in here, and that arm looked very familiar. The curtain parted and I was now face to face with a dear friend.

"Santiago!?"

"Avery!?"

This was certainly a very odd reunion. Santiago was dripping wet standing in a shower stall of the girl's locker room with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist while I stood there before him just as wet and totally naked. Needless to say, we were both quite stunned to see each other like this. We stood their looking at one another for a few awkward moments until Scarlet broke the silence, "You see, Santy just finished swim practice with his team so I roped him into taking his shower here. We thought it would be empty at this time so I told him I would join him if he was willing to sneak in here with me to take his shower. And I was very happy he agreed. We heard you guys in the shower when we came in but we figured you'd be gone once we finished. When I realized you were still here, I told Santiago to stay in there while I took a look around so he wouldn't get caught and that's how I found you guys."

"You started your shower after we did and still finished before us?" I asked.

Scarlet laughed, "Dude, do you have any idea how long you two were in there?"

Both Santiago and I blushed and looked away from each other scratching the backs of our heads in embarrassment. This was the kind of situation only we would end up in. Santiago's gaze fell on Scarlet then turned towards Bridget with her hair still wet and wrapped in a towel. He then looked to me, "So...just to get things straight? You and Bridget are a thing now?"

Crap. I have not told Santiago about me and Bridget yet. Out of all my friends he was the one I was most **** to tell if Scarlet haven't already told him. When I was Santiago's swim coach back in high school, he received a scholarship to Intectus Deprehendi University around the same time I was offered a position as a professor here. He was actually very happy about this news for both of us since he wanted to establish a friendship with me ever since we both shared a rather embarrassing experience together along with Rorke and Jack. Back then, I was still very black and white about my beliefs in keeping my career and personal life separate. I couldn't take up Santiago's proposal for friendship because I didn't want to show favoritism for any of my students so we compromised. We would remain friends so long as he didn't take any of my classes and we would socialize off campus only. Now he just discovered that I am dating a girl in my class. I must seem like quite the hypocrite to him. "In my defense, I was kind of blackmailed into it."

"How...?" Already knowing the answer, Santiago quickly turned to Scarlet looking appalled. At the mention of the word '****' he instinctively knew it had something to do with her. He knew her all to well.

Scarlet raised her hands, "Hey, I never would have done anything if I didn't know for certain that these two had feelings for each other. You know how Avery is Santiago. He would have continued to do absolutely nothing about it; being such a stickler for the rules. And I had no intention to use it so long as he didn't hurt Bridget. All I did was just give him a little push." She looked at me "But, if you genuinely feel this was all about ****, just tell me here and now that you don't like Bridget and I will delete all the footage I have on you and you both can go about your separate ways."

At first glance, this wasn't a bad opportunity. I had a chance to get that incriminating footage out of my life so it would no longer hang over. However...I shook my head, "No, no, no, she's right. I do have sincere feelings for Bridget. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this sooner Santiago." I sat down on one of those benches in front of the lockers. Bridget strode up to me and sat in my lap granting me some cover. Though I wasn't concerned about being naked in front of her or Santiago, I still appreciated even a minor attempt at modesty in front of Scarlet.

I wrapped my arms around Bridget's waist and she leaned back rubbing her face against mine. I gave her a short peck on the cheek before I looked up at Santiago and explained everything to him. This wasn't how I pictured revealing my secret to him. I was going to tell him eventually but not when I was naked in a girl's locker room with my girlfriend wrapped in a towel sitting in my lap.

Once we were finished explaining how Bridget and I got together Santiago nodded appreciatively, "Wow, out of all people, I never would have guessed you would have hooked up with Scarlet's BFF. But the heart wants what the heart wants I suppose. So...I guess...congratulations you two. And thanks for bringing me in on this."

I had to admit, I was a little surprised, "You're not mad? Considering I insisted you never take any of my classes?"

Santiago snorted, "Well, if I'm being totally honest, as your friend I am a little bit jealous that I wasn't the first exception to your whole 'no personal life at work' rule. But I find myself more happy that you have actually loosened up a bit and took a risk at love. I have noticed you have been a lot happier recently. I guess now I know why."

I smiled relieved, "Thank you Santiago."

"And just throwing that out there, it's not like I was ever going to take one of your classes anyway. Advanced Mathematics? No thank you. If it weren't for Scarlet tutoring me every week I would have lost my scholarship already. I'm not gonna take a course I have no hope in passing." That's true, Santiago may be at IDU on a swim scholarship but he still has to maintain a certain grade point average in order to keep it.

I laughed, "Yes, I probably would have failed you or kicked you out in the first week. You know I would too."

"Hold your horses there Avery. I'm still miffed that you didn't tell me that you had a girlfriend. My girlfriend's bestie at that."

"I'm sorry. Is there anyway I can make this up to you?"

"How about this, since you have already bent your rules already how about we bend ours a little? Let's start hanging out together more often even when we are at school. I'm supposed to be enjoying college life to it's fullest and I can't even hang out with my buddy even when he's teaching in the classroom next door. We both have hot girlfriends now and we are all friends, we should be double-dating and chatting about stupid stuff when we're not learning. If you can do that for me than I will totally forgive you."

"Deal." I nodded. I already made so many exceptions for Bridget the least I can do is make one for my friend. It couldn't hurt to open up more to the people closest to me. Though I do hope he wont be around for some of my more embarrassing moments on campus. However unlikely that may seem.

Santiago leaned down giving both me and Bridget a hug, "I will be sure to root for you guys as you have always rooted for me and Scarlet." Despite the circumstances (like me being naked and Bridget and Santiago were only wearing towels) we found this to be a rather tender moment so we both hugged him back appreciatively. "If anybody gives you two crap, call on me and I will swoop in and save you guys." As he pulled away, Scarlet came up to her boyfriend and took his hand.

"So I guess we all have you to thank for this huh?" Santiago locked his fingers with Scarlet's.

"Of course. I really am the best thing that has ever happened you aren't I?"

"Yes, you really are." Santiago said this so nonchalantly Scarlet actually blushed and then smiled as she twirled her hair. This was certainly a rare sight for me. Most of the time Scarlet seemed so intimidating but sometimes, Santiago had a way of making her appear cute and girly. I often worried that she only dated Santiago because she can easily get the better of him but it would seem she loved him as much as he loved her. I only just found out that she was helping Santiago keep his grades up just so he could keep his scholarship. So I suppose I would have to reevaluate my opinion of her. Though I doubt I could convince her to drop all her humiliating schemes, I too will always be grateful to her for bringing me and Bridget together. Though I had no plans to tell her that. "Ah, yes. One more thing Avery. Does Rorke and Jack know?"

"Rorke...kind of figured it out on his own. I still haven't told Jack yet. I suppose I should make some plans to let him know."

Santiago nodded. Then we heard some loud noises coming from outside the locker room...
