I work professionally at a college as an administrator. This is my first year on the job, fresh out of graduate school. At the age of 25, it's been interesting supervising and getting to know college students just a few years younger than me. What is even more interesting is some of the unexpected things that have come up in that time.
The other day, one of the staff members I supervise β Emily β stopped by my office. Emily's cute; a petite Asian American girl. When she sat down in one of the chairs in my office, I couldn't help but steal a couple of glances at the smooth skin of her legs exposed below her skirt. Emily has a great sense of fashion. She always looks cute yet conservative. She was wearing a long black skirt, a white top that showed off her midriff and the small of her back, and some flip flops. As usual, she had her black hair in a pony tail, which bobbed side to side as she chatted with me about how things were going. We talked for a while, and finally Emily asked, "Will you be around your apartment tonight? I wanted to drop by." I told her that I'd be around and that she could stop by whenever. We chatted some more and then she left for a violin class she had that afternoon.
Later that night, as I was surfing through channels on digital cable, there was a knock at the door. I answered it, and it was Emily. She asked to come in. She came in and sat down on the couch, and I muted the TV as I sat down on the other end. She had changed clothes, and was now wearing a black spaghetti strap top, a patterned grey mini-skirt, and some knee-high black boots. Her hair was still in her signature ponytail. At first she was quiet, sitting on the couch, watching the TV with her soft, brown eyes. Finally she took a deep breath and started to talk.
"I just wanted to stop by and thank you for all the great things you've done for me this year. It's been great finally working with an administrator who treats me as a person and understands all the things I have to deal with. You've been amazing."
I smiled, humbled at her words. "I'm glad that I've been able to help. You're great to work with. I'll miss you after you graduate."
"I want you to have sex with me," she blurted out.
"What?" I coughed.
"I want you to have sex with me. I want to repay you for being so great to me, and this is how I want to do it."
"Emily, I can't do that. You're a student, and we work together."
