her lips. Her pink tank top hugs her tight stomach and breasts as they bounce up and down from the stairs. He nearly salivates at the sight of her, ignoring the group of young women in front of him. “Excuse me,” he says to the group. “I need to talk with Miss Murray.”
The girls turn around sharply at Taylor and give her the nastiest look. They wrinkle their noses at her and turn back to Mr. Zakarak, brushing off Taylor and turning their demeanor back to the flirty, valley type. Taylor waits quietly for the girls to finish up with their attempted passes at the professor. He waves them off politely. “I’ll see you ladies on Friday. Good work on your papers.”
In unison, they say their goodbyes as well and head for the door. Taylor starts as far back from the desk as she can. She is nervous. Her attraction to Mr. Zakarak is growing and growing by the moment. He makes eye contact with her and smiles, which causes her to blush. “I just wanted to mention how proud I am of you and your work,” he says to her.
Taylor goes to speak but her words get caught in her throat. She clears it. “Thanks, I worked really hard on it.”
“It shows,” says Mr. Zakarak. “It’s always good to see a student with so much promise excel in her work. I knew that you had it in you. You are a bright, ambitious, dedicated and beautiful young woman. The world is at your fingertips and you just have to decide what to do with it.”
As the compliments fly out of his mouth, Taylor can feel her cheeks redden. “Thank you, Mr. Zakarak. That really means a lot to me.”
“Again, call me James,” he says to her. He pulls out a business card from his briefcase and hands it to Taylor. “My cell number is on there. If you ever want to talk or ever need any help in my class, especially in regards to the approaching exam, you know how to get a hold of me.”
Taylor takes the card and looks down at it. She looks back at Mr. Zakarak and wonders if he is flirting with her. Rather than saying something coy back, she smiles and hints at leaving. “Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind. I have to go study though, so I will see you on Friday.” Even though she wants to stay, she cannot handle this moment right now. It’s too much for her. He is too much for her.
“It’s a date,” he replies. “Take care.”
Taylor walks for the exit, flustered. She feels a sense of giddiness coming over her. He was flirting with her and it has made her feel something she has never felt before. How was such a perfect gentleman intrigued in her? All she is, is that of a flustered college student. He has masters in English. He was her superior, but was he falling for her? She wonders if he was thinking about her in the same way that she thought of him.
As Taylor walks back to her dorm room, all she can think about is James. She thinks back to how good he looked in class today. She thinks about how rugged and masculine he is. She thinks about how good his voice sounds when he says her name. When Taylor reaches her dorm room, she spots Nicole listening to some music and studying. Taylor wants to interrupt her and tell her about James. She wants to gossip and she wants to see her reaction. She taps her lightly on the shoulder.
Nicole spins around and greets her with a smile. She pulls the ear buds out of her ears. “Hey you, I wanted to talk! I have some news.”
Taylor wants to be the one to gossip first but she allows Nicole to talk. “What’s up?”
“Me and Tim are back together. We made up.”
Taylor shuffles through her memory. She doesn’t want to sound stupid and ask who Tim is. She quickly puts the pieces of the puzzle and realizes that Tim is the name of the random guy. “Oh good! That’s great news hun. No wonder you have such a big smile on your face.”
“And I should say the same for you. Why do you look so red and giddy?”
Taylor clears her throat and doesn’t want to talk about it after all. “It’s nothing.”
