Chapter 2
After a full day of moving in and unpacking Monica and Eric did not have a moment to rest. Once classes were in session professors went full throttle from day one and it was hard to keep up. Both Monica and Eric had a heavy workload with their classes. While many of their classmates were goofing off Monica and Eric had high hopes for the future. They knew that the key to a successful future started with working hard in college.
This did not mean, however, that they were all work and no play. They ended up registering for Human Sexuality 101 as a “fun” class they could take together. With Monica being a biology major and Eric being an engineering major they never had classes together. It was nice to finally take a class together and to help each other on assignments.
However, much to their disappointment Human Sexuality 101 although interesting was far from an easy A. It was now a month and a half into the semester. They had taken two exams and were on the brink of failing. Both Monica and Eric were regular dean list students and this sudden threat of failure horrified them. They knew they couldn’t fail. There was no way they would fail.
By Thanksgiving they knew something had to be done.

“Monica, I’m worried about Human Sexuality. I think we are legitimately at risk of failing. I can’t have that class blemishing my GPA. You know I have that big internship coming up…” Eric’s voice sounded panicked as he explained his situation to Monica who was in the same boat as her boyfriend.
“I know, I know. We practically have the same grade… Why is this class so hard anyway? It’s an introductory class to human sexuality it should be a piece of cake.” Monica sounded exasperated almost as if she were on the brink of tears. “What are we going to do?”
“We can try going to Professor Anderson’s office hours. I think if we talk to him and express our concerns he can help us. Going to office hours has helped me in the past.” Eric offered, looking at Monica. He wondered what she thought. Eric didn’t know why they had put off meeting with the professor until now. Maybe their pride had gotten in the way.
“I mean we can give it a shot… what other choice do we have?” Monica asked looking at Eric. He nodded, realizing their situation. Opening up his laptop he pulled up the class website, finding the professor’s information.
“It looks like he has office hours Fridays at 9 pm. That’s a weird time to have office hours. Most professors have it during the afternoons, right after classes. Why is he meeting with students that late at night?” Eric looked over at Monica who was laying down on the couch now.
She was absentmindedly twirling a piece of her long dark hair on her finger, looking at the ceiling. She should have been studying for her genetics exam, but she didn’t have any motivation to look at evolutionary genes on a Sunday night. The exam wasn’t until Wednesday anyway. She would procrastinate for now.
“Monica… any thoughts… babe?” Monica was a thousand miles away. She had a habit of heavy daydreaming. People literally had to snap her out of her trances. Eric sighed getting up. He suddenly pounced on her.
Monica instantly snapped out of her fantasy, grinning at her boyfriend. She instantly wrapped her arms and legs around him before kissing him. Eric smirked into the kiss as he pressed his body into hers. Monica moaned softly as she felt his crotch press against hers. He wasn’t hard, but she could feel his large member pressing against her thigh. Maybe they could have some fun before the weekend was over.
With that thought, Monica started to make out with Eric. Her tongue crept its way into his mouth, where it found his tongue and wrapped around it. She continued to make out with him hard and rough, trying to get him into the mood. Eric, however, wouldn’t bite. He pulled away.
“Babe. Human Sexuality. We might fail. I know I am smoking hot and you can’t resist my sexiness, but c’mon please try to focus. We need to figure out what to do.” Eric propped himself up so that his torso hovered above hers. He looked down at her, peering into her eyes.
“Weren’t you looking up his office hours?” Monica asked, frustrated. She just wanted to have some fun. She didn’t want to think about her grades. She just wanted Eric to pick her up and carry her to bed and have his way with her. Was that too much to ask?
“I did, but you were off in Neverland.” Eric tapped her nose gently. At the beginning of their relationship, Monica’s constant daydreaming had often gotten on his nerves but now he found them an endearing part of her personality. He never got mad at her for daydreaming. He had learned to deal with them and had learned to have patience with her.
“Oops sorry… I was just thinking about you… me… and the back of your car.” Monica smiled as she thought back to it, about to slip into another fantasy.
“Oh? That silly fantasy again?” Eric teased. Monica pouted.
“It’s not silly! You loved it the last time we did it!”
“I’m not denying that, but that’s not the issue at hand. Professor Anderson’s office hours are on Fridays at 9 pm.” Eric reiterated.
“Friday at 9? Are you kidding me?” Monica looked up at her boyfriend. What kind of professor had office hours that late on a Friday? No one went to office hours on Friday afternoons let alone Friday nights. Monica looked at Eric, waiting for clarification.
“That’s what it says on the course website.”
“That’s so weird.” Monica sighed. “Guess we’ll have to cancel our Friday plans for next Friday.” Monica pouted at the thought. Friday was half off drinks at her favorite club for anyone who arrived before ten. Homemade cosmos just weren’t as good.
“Guess so.” The couple sighed together. Hopefully, it would be a small sacrifice for a better grade. At this point, they would do anything to get a passing grade. Their careers depended on it.
