I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Lila’s POV
Both Enzo and Connie dropped me off at the academy where I went straight to Cassidy-Ann’s new
office in the art section of the school. My entire heart was so heavy as I watched Enzo leave with Connie
trailing closely behind him.
I couldn’t believe they were actually leaving to go to the beach together.
Cassidy-Ann had my desk set up in the corner of her office and I set all my things up on the desk to
make it a little more unique.
I started the morning by working on Cassidy-Ann’s upcoming schedule for the weeks to come. Which
included, but was not limited to, important meetings and interviews, art signings, art shows, banquets,
important dinners, future assemblies, and local parties.
She was certainly going to be very busy during her time here.
I logged into her website and saw that she had some sales that I needed to invoice and process.
“Don’t forget we have class this afternoon. It’s the introduction course,” Cassidy-Ann reminded me.
“You’ll need to be there the entire time as my aid. It’s only about an hour long. I know we are supposed
to have dinner this evening, but I promised Leroy, I would take him out tonight, so you’ll be on your
own this evening.”
“That’s fine,” I said only half listening.
I couldn’t get Enzo out of my mind. It’s been about an hour since he left with Connie, and I couldn’t
help but wonder what they were doing.
I knew they were going to the beach, but there was this tight knot in my stomach. I didn’t like them
being left alone.
“Is everything okay?” Cassidy-Ann asked, peering over at me from her desk. “You aren’t distracted, are
you?”
“What? No, of course not,” I said, glancing at her briefly. “I was just finishing up these invoices. We have
class this afternoon and we aren’t having dinner tonight. I’m listening.”

She looked at me for a moment longer and I couldn’t tell if she believed me or not, but she said
nothing more.
I turned back to my computer and continued my work.
Soon, my work phone started ringing. It was a number I didn’t recognize but that wasn’t surprising.
“Cassidy-Ann’s office, how may I help you?” I said into the phone.
“Hello, my name is Monica. I’m looking for a painting to hang up at my penthouse. I’m willing to pay
whatever is necessary to get a Cassidy-Ann original.”
“Of course,” I said, going back to the website. “Are you looking for something in particular? Or would
you like a custom painting?”
“I would like a custom collage. I have a few pictures that I would like included in this collage, but I
would also like Cassidy-Ann to come up with her own style as well. I like bold and bright colors.”
“Sure,” I said, typing that into the order notes. “And what would you like for dimensions?”
“How about 18” x 24”?”
I typed that into the order notes as well.
“For a custom Cassidy-Ann portrait, payment starts off at $1500. We will need a down payment of at
least $500 before we get to work. Do you have an email I can send that bill to?”
Once she gave me her email address, I created the invoice with her custom details and sent it to her.
“Once you send that payment, I’ll send a link to your email, and you can send us the pictures you’d like
to use. I’ll send you a confirmation once it’s received. I’ll send another confirmation once she starts
working on it. Expect it to be finished in a week and you should have it the following week. Make sure
you send me your address along with that payment within the next 12 hours or your spot will be taken
by someone else.”
“Thank you so much. I’ll get that payment right away.”
“Once the painting is completed, before we send it to you, we’ll send another bill for the final payment.
Once that payment is received your order will be shipped.”
“I understand,” she said happily. “Thank you again.”
Once I hung up the phone I went to Cassidy-Ann’s schedule and penciled her in for studio time to work
on that painting. She already had some studio time scheduled for some other online orders, so I had to
rearrange some things to make sure she had the time.
“Another custom art piece is being requested,” I announced to her. “She’s going to send me the
pictures she wants to be used.”
“Okay, thank you, Lila,” she said to me, sounding pleased.
I was glad to be back on her good side. Not that I was ever on her bad side; but I knew she was losing
hope in my ability to stay focused these last couple of days, all because of Enzo. I couldn’t let him
distract me. This was my future and I needed to stay focused, even if Connie was here.
Later in the afternoon, I went with Cassidy-Ann to one of the art rooms to help her set up for the class.
The art room reminded me of the art room back at the school in Higala.
There was even a small desk near the main desk that I assumed was going to be my desk. I went toward
that desk and set up some stuff. I’m not entirely sure what my job here was going to consist of, but I
was excited to find out.
I never really thought of myself as a teacher, but I knew how good I was at art, and I wanted to
showcase my abilities to a bunch of new students.
I also wondered who was lucky enough to be in this class. I’m sure they had to pay an extra tuition fee
because this was a special summer course with Cassidy-Ann.
Not before long, excited students began to pile into the classroom and find their seats.
