During the time that I was an undergraduate engineering major I had a good friend, who I will name Stan, who like me was working to complete his senior project in order to graduate. He spent a lot of time in the library and along the way met a reference librarian named Silvia. The previous story of their encounters was told from Stan's perspective, but now it seems only appropriate that we hear Silvia's version. Note that no person in this story is under the age of 18.
Here's her side of the story:
It was the end of my first semester as the reference librarian on the science and engineering floor at the university library. Although originally from Wisconsin I had gotten a B.S. in Environmental Science form a major Midwestern college and then decided that getting a master's in library science sounded like a great idea. I never had had a very active social life but on occasion would date, but never anything steady. That is not to say that I was still a virgin because I'm not as a result of fooling around with a guy one summer after my junior year in high school and then once as a graduate student. In short, I thought I knew what sex felt like, but it left me feeling sort of empty and, as a consequence, I never had a real urge to want to engage in more such activities... at least until now.
As the holidays approached many of the engineering students started doing some of the initial research that would lead to their senior projects, a requirement for graduation. One particular student, Stan, stood out in my mind because while he still had that certain engineering nerdiness to him, he seemed to have a better physique and was sort of handsome albeit with more than just a touch of social naivetΓ©. When the spring semester started, Stan was in the library several times a week and always looking for some obscure reference sources that he could use for his project. He really challenged me on a frequent basis but was always very polite ant thankful that I could find him find what he wanted.
It's only fair for me to explain that fashionable clothing was never one of my interests and that many days I would wear a rather shapeless black wool skirt and an olive-green turtleneck sweater accompanied by a pair of black flat shoes that I had had since my early undergraduate days back in Wisconsin. I always wore a minimum of makeup, and my hair was usually worn up, primarily because that style required a minimum of maintenance. Added to the vision of perhaps my own nerdiness was my oversize round tortoise frame glasses. While none of this is hardly stylish, it all required very little thought each morning as I got ready for work. Overall, I had pretty much of an average physique being 5' 6" tall of average weight and size 34C boobs, a feature that I never attempted to emphasize although I guess I did know that I at least appeared to be a female.
During mid-January Stan began to spend a lot of time in the library and was always looking for various academic journal articles and was having a problem with a particular one from The Netherlands. After considerable digging I managed to find not the specific article but a companion one by the same author. As a result, he thanked me profusely and I responded with a smile saying, "That's OK, that's what I am here for. I'm only too glad to help."
Stan was very serious about his work to the extent that he even selected a study carrel in the far reaches of my floor that would assure that he could remain focused and that nobody would bother him. However, he did have a window where he could look out on campus, but to my knowledge he seldom availed himself of this.
One day I had to go back into the stacks and stopped by to see if he had located an item that he previously been looking for.
"Hi Stan, did you find that van Dorn article that I had showed you?"
"I did," he replied. "It had even more useful stuff than I ever imagined it would. I can't thank you enough."
"No, the pleasure was all mine," I replied, later thinking that it sounded a bit flirtatious. He was buried in his work, and I had my hands full with other engineering students looking for reference sources and as a consequence I had no other interactions with Stan until the following week.
On Tuesday morning I heard someone approach my desk and when I looked up, there stood Stan. "Did you have a chance to check on those other sources for me?" he asked in an all-too businesslike tone of voice.
Knowing that I had worked on it the previous day I got up and started thumbing through the huge stack of requests. That day I had worn my usual skirt but had washed out my favorite green sweater and was wearing a pink cowl neck one instead. As I thumbed my way through that stack of printouts, I was getting a bit flustered because I could not find Stan's. I looked up and that is when I caught a glimpse of him looking down the neck of my sweater getting an unobstructed view of my boobs.
I just smiled and gave him a look that said "Ah ha, caught you looking, didn't I? Hope you enjoyed the view." As for me I guess I sort of found it to be a bit flattering that I guy was sufficiently interested to want to check me out.
