Chapter 9 - Perception is not always reality

As she walked into the lecture hall, Tiana tried by all means to not take a peek at Mike at the back seat where she knew he sat. After putting her laptop at the podium, she turned to face the class and as always, they had their attention on her.

"As I'd mentioned in the previous class, we'll be doing perception and intelligence today. If time permits, we'll get a little into attitude, steriotypes and prejudice and discrimination."

Her gaze landed on Mike for a second and she quickly looked away feeling her cheeks as well as her p*ssy heat up.

"I hope you all did your research. I don't think I have to tell y'all that it quickens our lessons in a productive manner. Can someone tell us what they know about perception."

Looking around the class, Tiana felt like screaming when no one raised their hand. She stood quiet for a few seconds and when she opened her mouth to speak, Mike slowly raised his.

She smiled lightly and gestured with her hand that he may speak.

"Hi, I'm Mike Jeovinski. Perception refers to the interpretation of information received through different types of senses which include touch, smell, hearing and taste." Replied Mike with a light but audible voice.

As he replied, he kept the eye contact between him and Tiana and she could almost feel the ground beneath her shake and from the fear of losing balance, she took support from the podium. Taking her eyes off his, she swept her gaze over the class again before moving to the blackboard with a marker in hand as she spoke.

"That's right.Thank you for your input Mr Jeovinski. Perception is all about how we understand the world around us and this can be influenced by a few things which offcourse include taste, smell, touch and past experiencs."

She continued her lecture and wrote a few key points on the board. Fifty minutes later, she glanced at her watch and said, "Alright guys our class will end here. You already know what we'll be doing in the next class so please come prepared. I hope you won't disappoint me like you did today."

With that, people started walking out of the class while Tiana collected her things and prepared to leave too. As she did, she tried to take one last look at Mike for the day but was surprised to see him walking towards her. The hall they were using has two doors, one at the front and one at the back and since he always sits at the back, Mike usually goes out through the backdoor.

Tiana quickly tore her gaze off of him and back to the laptop before he noticed and by the time he got to her, the surprised look had already been masked by a blank face.

"Miss Tiana?" He called.

Gosh that voice. Tiana internally marvelled at how sweet his voice was. Mike was almost the same age as her, maybe two years younger and she was just 26 this year. However, he was taller than her by more than 2 inches and a lot more musculine than people his age. Looking up at him, Tiana smiled lightly and replied,

"Mike. Can i help you with something?"

At this moment, it was just the two of them in class and Tiana used all her willpower to not throw herself at him and eat him up. To make matters worse, Mike smiled back at her and took a few steps closer to where she stood.

"Actually, you can. If you don't mind, would you send me the material of the things we did today and those we'll be doing in the next class? I think I got distracted today in class and missed a few things." He said.

As he spoke, Tiana could feel his hot breath on her face and her thighs clenched with need. After suppressing the need, She prayed her voice wouldn't betray her as she spoke; with the same smile still attached to her face.

"Ohhh? So you get distracted during my class? What coulld have been so intriguing to have taken your attention?" She asked, concealing the teasing tone.

"I'm afraid I might have to change classes if I tell you, Miss T." He didn't even try to hide the playfulness in his words as he even changed his posture and put both his hands in his pockets.

Tiana forced her eyes to remain on his face and said with a smirk, "Oh you have to tell me now."

Mike stood silent for a few seconds as though he was watching her. That made her a little nervous but the smile remained on her face and there was no trace of nervousness at all.

"That dress." Mike said as his eyes travelled across her body. Seeing the shock on her face and her cheeks changing color, he continued, "The way your lips move when you speak."

Tiana had expected him to tease her back, never that he'd outright flirt with her and seduce her. She moved back to stand behind the podium to hide her trembling legs. Knowing that she might expose herself if the conversation were to continue in that direction, she cleared her throat and changed her expression and asked in a serious tone,

"You said you wanted the notes?" She proceeded to take her phone out and handed it over to him. "Save your number in it. I'll send the notes as soon as I get home."

Seeing her change the subject, Mike was a little disappointed but he know when to stop. He took her phone and saved his number before he gave it back to her.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Miss T." He said.

All her students call her Miss T so Mike calling that didn't affect her much. It was the way he said it. It flowed so easily from his lips that she wanted to hear him call her that some more. However, soon after he returned her phone, Mike left the hall and went for his last class.
