"Uh, no, not yet," Zippy responded, trying to figure everything out. If he was just some regular guy she had brought home from the bars, it wouldn't be this complicatated. She turned to Mikey. "My friends call me Zippy, and your daddy teaches the math class I am in! He is very smart."
and he is a fabulous lay...

((Haha!))
"Oooooh!" Mikey responded eagerly, he sat down on the chair beside her. "Sometimes he's not all that smart."
"Thank you Michael," Tristan said shaking his head.
"Well its true! You had to call Aunt Annie that time when I kept throwing up." Tristan sighed heavily and looked at Zippy.
"Uh...yea well he was like 3 and I kind of panicked." He shrugged.
"I could have died!" Mikey announced proudly.
((lol I love Mikey))

Zippy laughed. "Well THANK GOD you are better now!" So his mom really wasn't in the picture...
"You are awesome," she said to Mikey, and turned to Tristan. "If you ever need someone to look after him, I'll be happy to."

"Can she!? Right now!?" Mikey screamed and bounced in his chair.
"Right now, no...but maybe one night this week." He said to Mikey.
"Yes! Score!" Mikey said, immediately beginning a fist pump.
"You have no idea what you just got yourself into. A full night of dino chicken nuggets and transformers that will end with begging for chocolate and an extra half hour awake." Tristan said with a smirk.
"Nuh uh," Mikey said with a pout. "Mac & Cheese now." He crossed his arms.
"Oh escuse me," Tristan said with a laugh. "Now he's on a Mac & Cheese kick."

"I think I can handle it," Zippy assured, smiling at Mikey. "Anyway I gotta get to class, I'll, uh...see you this afternoon." In class.

"Yep...hopefully one of the student workers will watch or we'll be having a guest." Tristan said with a laugh.
That was interesting, having Mikey in his math class. Most of the girls fawned over him and obviously not very much learning happened. Mostly everyone was shocked that he had a child to take care of especially because he was so young.
At the end of the class, Tristan took Mikey's hand. Mikey yawned.
"Dad? Are you done now?" He asked and rubbed his eye with one hand.
"Yea, it's me and you for the rest of the night." Tristan mussed his son's hair and smiled.
"Can Zippy come?" Mikey asked with a smile. "She was nice, she didn't treat me funny like some of your friends do." Tristan knew what Mikey meant. He meant other girls that he'd met. Tristan sighed.
"I can ask her okay?" Tristan waited for Zippy to gather her stuff and walk down to the front of the classroom. Him and Mikey walked over to her together.
"Uh hey...listen Mikey wants to know if you want to join us tonight." Mikey smiled up at her and nodded.

Zippy smiled and pretended ot think about it. This could be dangerous emotional territory for her, but she loved kids.
"All right, but ONLY if we can play a game of Candyland," Zippy looked at Mikey.

"Seriously! That's my favorite game!" Mikey hurried over to her and grabbed her hand as they walked out. "Dad always looses. He sucks at Candyland."
Oh boy. Tristan knew he was entering dangerous territory here. He could already tell that Mikey really liked Zippy, maybe a little too much. Shit. Not that he didn't like her, but she was young, graduating, she still had her whole life ahead of her and he was basically done. He hated that he'd just thrust all this pressure onto her.
"I don't suck at Candyland and don't use that word." Tristan took Zippy's stuff from her so she could walk and hold Mikey's hand.
Tristan lived in a small two bedroom apartment, the whole place was four rooms, an eat in kitchen, tiny living room, bathroom and bedrooms and it was old. It looked like it hadn't been revamped since 1933. The carpets were stained and it was obvious that his furniture had been passed down from his sister, but it was clean and orderly.
"Uh...okay so this is it." Tristan scratched the back of his neck and tossed his keys on the kitchen counter. "Mikey go get Candyland and start setting it up."
Mikey immediately ran off to his room.
"You want anything? A drink, popcorn, pizza?" Tristan opened the fridge and grabbed two beers. He offered one to her.

Zippy shook her head. "I'm still hung over from the other night," she glanced around the apartment then back at him. She wasn't expecting this. She wanted to just fuck him and then get an A, and move on her with her life.
Because seriously, how many times can someone say that they actually got it on with their TA?
But now...she watched Mikey setting up Candyland and reached for her waterbottle from her purse. "Where's his mom?" She asked Tristan under her breath.

Tristan took a gulp from the beer and leaned against the kitchen counter, he peered into the living room and then looked back at her.
"She's in a halfway house in Brooklyn." He said with a nod. Tristan took another sip of his beer. He didn't know if he should elaborate on the story...it was sort of a time in his life which he hated talking about it.

Zippy took that as she wasn't really in the picture. "Well it looks like you did a great job on your own," she observed, checking her phone and turning it on silent.
"How many more years are you going to be in school?"

"Forever," He said with a laugh. "This is my last year and then I'm completely done. Then I'm gonna teach high school. I didn't go to school till late...I was a really bad kid." He said with a nod.
"Hey! Whatcha doin in there?" Mikey yelled from the living room.
"Gimme a minute!" Tristan yelled back.

Zippy laughed. "I could see that. Look at you, you're probably breaking the rules again by having me over."

"Oh yeah." He said with a smirk. "Come on, we better start playing before he gives himself an aneurism." Tristan took her hand and led her into the living room.

"I call the red one!" Zippy announced, taking a seat on the ground next to Mikey.
