Scene Thirty-Two
Porno Flicks And Chill
°♡°
"Hey, Sid. How's it going?" I greet him as I sit down next to him.
"Oh hey, man. Nothing much," He greets back, briefly looking at me and turning back to the laptop before him. "just fixing Vinny's laptop. It caught a virus."
"Can't he just get a new laptop?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
"That's what I said but he refused to say he doesn't want to spend a couple hundred dollars buying a new laptop." Sid rolls his eyes. "Like I know I teach IT and Computer Science and I'm technically the tech guy who fixes the computers around here, but I'm not a god."
"Where is he now?"
"In the kitchen making some coffee—"
Sid's words trail off as our eyes grow wide with horror and our jaws drop with shock at what we are seeing. We didn't even notice Feenyx walk into the staffroom.
"Hey, y'all. Watchu do – OH MY GODS! WHAT IN GAIA'S NAME IS THAT?!" She screeches.
"Yo! What's the matter?" Vinny rushes out of the kitchen. "What's going on?"
"There's so much porn," Sid says, scrolling down the files displayed on the screen.
"What are you doing going through my private stuff? I asked you to fix my laptop?" He wails.
"What are you do mean by "private stuff", Vinny? There are literally thousands of files wide open!" I retort.
"Well, I was meaning to clear them out at one point."
"Jesus Christ! Look at the organisation here?" Sid says.
"365 days sex scenes? Lady Voyeur sex scenes?" Feenyx reads one of the titles.
"I like a variety." He answers defensively.
"You sick bastard," I remark.
"Look at this." Sid points at the screen.
"FIFTY SHADES OF GREY?!" I exclaim, staring at Vinny with wide eyes.
"I HAVEN'T HAD SEX FOR ALMOST A MONTH, OKAY? I WAS DESPERATE!" he cries.
"Out of all the porn you could have picked, you chose Fifty Shades Of Grey?!"
"I'd like to see you recommend better erotic movies and series, asshole!"
"Oh, I can recommend erotic movies and series that are waaaaaaaaaay better than a Twilight bondage fanfiction."
"I'm more confused at how you two are arguing over recommending porn movies," Feenyx arches an eyebrow.
"Well, that explains why and how your laptop has a virus," Sid says, closing the laptop.
"Can you fix it?" Vinny asks.
"Fix it? Nah, nah, nah. There ain't no fixing it." I tell him. "The only thing that's left is smashing the damn thing and burning it. Then buy a whole gallon of Clorox so we can bleach your soul. Then call a priest so you can repent for all your sins. Then I'll give you quality erotic films and series."
Sid and Feenyx both stare at me. "What? Erotic films with good plots exist, you know."
"Yeah, you do. Imma just head out and wait for y'all in the conference room." Feenyx narrows her eyes suspiciously as she leaves the staffroom, but not before saying something along the lines of "humans being fucking weird" on her way out.
"I might also need some Clorox so I can bleach my eyes and soul after this." Sid closes Vinny's laptop and follows Feenyx.

"Ugh! I hate these meetings," Vinny whispers under his breath in the middle of Simmons' brief. "It's always the same old admin stuff every week."
"Hey, these meetings are important. You don't want to miss anything like last time," I remind him.
"And that's another thing. Why is it that the interesting stuff happens when I so happen to be absent? Is this Karma's way of telling me that my life will forever be boring?"
I sigh. "No, Vinny. I can assure you that's not the case."
"You're right. I'm too fun to be boring," he sassily says while doing a hair flip. I rolled my eyes. "What's up with Feenyx? Is she okay?"
I turn to look at Feenyx, who's seated at my side dosing off during the meeting.
"Hey, Nyxxie," I shake her gently. "Try not to sleep, okay."
She responds with a whiney groan as she squirms in her seat but continues to dose off. I sigh before turning to Vinny. "She's fine. It's just that winter is her hibernation season."
Vinny furrows his eyebrows. "Why is she even here then?"
"Hell if I know. If that isn't weird enough, she's been sleeping with at least six blankets on her bed. It's not even that cold yet."
"Well sorry for being super sensitive to cold weather, asshole. If you have a problem with it, take it up to the person who spawned me to life." Feenyx snaps.
"Guys, can you keep your voices down? Simmons is about to make an important announcement," Toni reprimands us.
"And I should care because..." Vinny arches a disinterested eyebrow.
"Just listen," she says.
We all turn our attention to Simmons, who's at the front of the conference room.
"As per the request of Miss Lewis, we will be introducing Latin as an additional subject to the Languages department and the school's curriculum." He explains.
Toni smiles proudly. "Thank you, sir. I think it will be good not only for the students but for the school to encourage diversity."
"She seems proud of herself," Vinny comments. I nudge him in the ribs to prompt him to be quiet.
"Miss Lewis, I know that you offered to teach and facilitate the class, but I think Miss De Rossi is a better candidate for the job."
The smile Toni was wearing throughout the meeting slowly deflates into a confused frown and whatever drowsiness Feenyx was experiencing since the beginning of the meeting suddenly disappeared.
"Come again?" they both blurt out at the same time.
"Miss De Rossi will be our Latin teacher," he repeats.
"Mr Simmons, I'm confused," Toni speaks up calmly. "I brought forward this idea with hopes of taking up that role to facilitate the subject. Besides, I studied Latin for four years, so I'm more than qualified to facilitate it."
"And I commend you for that, Miss Lewis. But when per her resumé and the interview I had with her not too long ago, Miss De Rossi is a native speaker, so it makes sense for her to teach the subject over someone who only studied the language." Simmons reasons.
"Wait, so you weren't trying to flirt with me that one time?" Feenyx says.
I cast her a look that says, "Are you fucking serious?"
"What, Simmons is not that bad looking for a man in his late fifties." She retorts in a whisper. "And they weren't joking when they said, "black don't crack"."
"Okay, but he's a divorced man and has grandkids!"
"Well, let's hope those grandkids don't mind having a step-grandma. Besides, seeing that I'm many centuries old, I'm more than qualified to be a grandma."
"That would make you a – I don't know many greats – grandma."
"Hey! I know I'm old. Don't remind me."
"Just because she's a native speaker doesn't mean that she's an expert. I highly doubt if she even has teaching experience." Toni speaks up.
I frown at Toni's comment towards Feenyx.
"If I may, Miss Lewis. Feenyx may not have much teaching experience, but she has proven to hold her own as a teacher with the time I've spent working with her," I chime in. "My students have been more engaged and have been performing exceptionally well."
"It still doesn't mean that she's qualified," she argues.
"I am highly offended at how lowly you think of me," Feenyx bites at her with a scoff. "And FYI, I've studied Latin, Greek History and Mathematics since I was a kid. That's more experience than you've ever had, heifer."
"I'm just—"
"My, my! Is Miss Lewis mad that Simmons gave Miss De Rossi a position she wanted?" Vinny chimes in with a taunting smile. "That sounds very immature of you, don't you think?"
The staff member starts mumbling amongst themselves and passing looks of judgement towards Toni.
"I'm not being—"
"Enough!" Simmons says before he sighs. "Miss Lewis, I understand that you were looking forward to teaching the subject and you have your reasons to express your disappointment. I'll be happy to continue this discussion in my office, but my decision is final."
Toni slumps her defeated and leans back in her seat. It is clear that she's upset at her loss in the discussion but has decided to withdraw and drop it altogether. The distasteful look she gives Feenyx isn't hard to miss, but as always Feenyx doesn't care enough to notice.
Don't forget to vote and comment. And thank you for 2.37K reads. Y'all are amazing and I love y'all.
