"I don't know for certain. I know she has class this morning with Dr. West, so she might come here after." A look crossed Jackson’s face, but he quickly masked his expression before Destiny had a chance to question him on it.

Today was Friday and Destiny knew that it was her sister's favorite day of the week. Jessa was often talking about her teacher and had admitted that she too had a crush on someone who was more than ten years older than her.

What a pair they made, but both knew that they wouldn't act upon any of it. Even if it wasn't the fact that they were older than the girls, but they worked at the college and that would have been frowned upon.

"Well, I'll be over there if you need anything. I'll come check on you soon.”

Destiny nodded at Jackson’s words before watching him turn and walk off. Pulling out her Kindle, she pulled up the latest book she was reading.

She loved finding new books to read, but right now she was obsessed with age play books. Reading about other Littles who were actually in the lifestyle made her feel a little less like an outsider.

Right now she was reading a new release by one of her favorite authors and hadn’t gotten very far into it before she had to go to bed last night. Tuning out the world around her, Destiny zoned into the book, putting all thoughts out of her mind.

The chairbeside her pulled out as Jackson sat down beside her, pulling her away from the story that was unfolding on her Kindle. She glanced over and grinned at him as he slid a bottle of water and a peanut butter cup in front of her before opening his own.

“Hi Little girl, I figured I would take a few minutes to come and chat with you. You’ve been pretty engrossed in the book you are reading.”

Biting into the candy, she nodded her head at his statement. The story that she was reading was just starting to get really good. The Little in the story was planning a prank on her soon-to-be Daddy and Destiny couldn’t wait to see it unfold.

“Care to share what book you’re reading today?”

Destiny’s heart began to race as she tried to come up with any answer besides the truth. No way was she fixing to admit to this man that she was reading an age play book.

“I think I’ll keep the title a secret a little bit longer. I wouldn’t want to recommend something that isn’t good to you. So I’ll just wait till I’m done with it.”

She held her breath waiting for his reaction. Her heart calmed when a small smirk formed across his face.

“Okay Little one, I’ll let you keep your secret. For now that is. I want to know the name though when you finish it and deem it good enough for me to read.”

“Sure, I can do that Jackson.”

They fell into comfortable silence eating the rest of their chocolate.

“So, what brings you to this college, Des? Why did you pick IMU?”

“I actually didn’t. Jessa applied to this college for me. I didn’t know anything about it until we got the acceptance letters in the mail.”

“She did what?”

Destiny’s eyes widened. Maybe she shouldn’t admit that her sister committed a crime by applying to IMU for her.

“Uh, let’s just forget that I said that. I totally wanted to come to IMU, it was my top choice.”

“Don’t you lie to me, Little girl. We both know that wasn’t what you said.”

Her face warmed at being called out by Jackson. She doesn’t know what came over her to try and lie to him about the situation. Destiny had never been good and lying, so it made sense that right now wouldn’t have been any different.

“Ugh, fine. Yes, Jessa sent in the application for me without me knowing, but she had a good reason.”

“It better be a really good one. It’s naughty to lie and commit fraud. Y'all could have gotten into huge trouble if you had been found out about.”

Destiny noticed that he said ‘if they had been found out about’. That meant he wasn’t going to report them, right?

“See, we have an older sister that lives in this town. Our parents kicked her out when she was almost done with high school because of some, uh, differences between them.”

Hoping that he didn’t pick up on her stumbling over her words, she quickly continued.

“Apparently, she lives here now with her husband and Jessa thought that this would be the perfect way to get here and reconnect with our sister. It also gave us a reason to get away from our parents for, uh, the same differences.”
