SARAH
As I've grown older, I've notice I've started to become a bit of a dirty old man. Actually, I'm not that old, early 40's. I've been married for 20 years, to the same woman, but our "romantic" lives together have pretty much ceased to exist. Actually it began the day we got married. Before we were married, the sex was great, sometimes 3-4 times a day. But that all seemed to change the day we said our I do's. I had pretty much made my peace with it though. I just figured I was destined to spend my days fantasizing about other women and masturbating to vivid images dancing in my head. That was until I met Sarah.
Sarah was a student in my Web Development class. The day I met her was before she started classes. I was called down to the admissions department to talk to a prospective student about our web program. When I walked into the room, my heart skipped a beat. There sat this stunning blonde haired beauty. I could barely speak in her presence. Several months later. I had pretty much forgotten about her until she walked into my class, late. Again, my heart went boom. This continued on for several quarters. She was the kind of girl, when she walked into the room, time would stop for every male in the room. Still, I could barely function around her. I made a conscious effort to spend as little time with her as possible so as not to appear like I favored one student over another. My dept. head had made his desires pretty obvious to the rest of the school. The young good looking girls always did well in his classes. It never did get him anywhere. They always kind of knew he was only paying attention to them for one reason and most of them took advantage of it by flirting just enough to get the good grades. On the other hand, I made sure Sarah didnβt do better than the other students. I had to be completely fair with her grading in order to stay above suspicion.
The time came however when Sarah was ready for an internship in web design. There werenβt very many opportunities available where we were so I had her intern with my company. The term started off quite difficult as I had experienced problems with members of her class arguing over control of a class project the term before. She didnβt seem real happy with the way her education was progressing so I tried to find projects for her to work on. It started with some in-class projects I was able to put her in charge of and that seemed to make a difference in her attitude. I started to notice a little more interest in her studies and decided to find another project for her to head up. It was the Student Council that came to my rescue.
