Chapter 1

Sexual Interaction. She looked at the title over and over again. Sexual Fucking Interaction. How was she supposed to do this project? What kind of project was this anyway?

When her Psychology Professor mentioned there was gonna be a special project that could help her get a scholarship, Nicki was beyond happy. Of course, the project had to be the best. There were at least four students in the university that were going to compete for that scholarship. She had been paying for her own studies with the money she made doing projects and assignments for her classmates. Them being lazy and busy partying was an advantage for her. They usually would come to her when they where already failing a class and she would help them pass it, for the right amount of cash. However, after two years of doing this, she was already tired. She needed that scholarship.

Sexual Interaction. Yes. She knew what it meant, prettier words but same meaning. Sex and all that actions leading to sex. The topic of the project was definitely not what she was expecting. It was out of her comfort zone and she was starting to regret agreeing to do this project. ‘The student must be objective, precise and clear’. How was she supposed to be objective, precise and clear if she wasn’t the one actually having the sex? ‘Due May 17, 2013’ She looked at the date on her phone. February 4. She had 3 months to do this.

And she had no idea how to start.

“What if you watch porn?”

“Lauren I am not going to sit in front of my laptop and watch porn all day to do this project”

“Why not Nic? I mean, its about sex right?”

“It’s disgusting Lauren! And it’s probably what everyone else is going to do. Plus, most of those movies are scripted, the project is supposed to be a real look at sexual interactions”

“Then hire someone to be your ‘assistant’ and have sex with you” Lauren joked.

Nicki had thought of that idea quite a lot. It was crazy, but it was the only way she felt she was going to be able to do this project and do a good job at it.

“Help me find someone” her voice remained calm even though she felt nervous just thinking what she was about to do.

“Excuse me? Nicki I was JOKING. You can’t possibly be considering having sex with a complete stranger just for this project” the shock and disapproval was evident in Lauren’s voice. “Plus, you said you weren’t going to have sex with another man after your ex-boyfriend”

“You are right Lauren…. I can’t have sex with a complete stranger. I mean what was I thinking? He was my first…” Nicki was lost in her thoughts, her mind running a thousand miles per hour.. “I won’t have sex with another man for this project”

Lauren looked relieved for a second, until Nicki spoke again.

“I’ll ask him to do it. I’ll ask Aubrey to have sex with me.”
