TRUE STORY -
Another day of Sexual Psychology 367 was drawing to an end as professor Summers was finishing his lecture notes and assigning the reading for the weekend. I couldn't help watch the bends in his country club slacks and the way the suit coat hugged his tight buttocks as he swayed at the podium. Professor Summers was in his early 50's, but was still as vibrant and energetic as a 25yo with a real passion for sexual psychology. His was the only class I never skipped.
I usually sat in the back as not to be noticed, and I tended to slump down in my chair to lay low and observe and not get called on to talk in front of a 150 person lecture. I was almost out of the lecture hall and was already thinking about track practice when I heard my name called by a familiar voice.
"Mr. Williams," touted Professor Summers. "Can you hang back just a minute? I need to talk to you about the essay you turned in on sexual orientation last week."
"Sure," I said hesitantly. "I have to get to the track for practice but I have a few minutes."
I walked up to the podium where Prof. Summers was packing his laptop away and asked what the issue was.
"Well," he said, "It looks as if your essay isn't here. I thought I grabbed it before class but it must still be in my office. Do you have time this evening after track practice to run over to my office so we can talk about it?"
"Um..." I said as I tried to figure out what could possibly be wrong with my essay. "I guess so."
"Great, that'll save me running back to campus later on. How does 5:30 in my office sound? That work for you?"
I thought for a second, "Sure that should work, but I gotta run, I will see ya then."
I turned around to walk to the bus stop and lit a cigarette wondering what was going on. Was he on to me? ...
-----
Track practice ran late and I had to run all the way to the quad to Mr. Summers' office since the buses had stopped running through campus. I got to the Psych building at 5:25 and ran in and up with 1 minute to spare, though at this point I was a sweaty mess.
"Mr. Williams, you made it! Good, go ahead and take a sea-."
He stopped mid-sentence as he saw me dripping sweat from head to toe. My running shorts and t-shirt were soaked through and pasted to my body.
"Here let me get you a towel." He reached into a cabinet and grabbed a beach towel out for me to sit on.
"Thanks Prof. Summers."
