Benjamin

You (a female) Its been a year since your divorce and you finally feel strong enough to focus on your interests and explore new relationships. the local college offers the option to audit classes. Its been many years since you were in college, but you are looking forward to taking a literature class. on the first day, before class, you stop at the coffee shop to get a coffee. Ahead of you in line is an attractive man with beautiful, kind eyes. He jokes saying, "You know its the first day, everyone is getting their caffeine." I laugh, enjoying his humor. He asks. "I haven't see you before, are you new here?" he quickly looks you over. I reply, "yes I am new here and its my first day." He leans in close, "Dont let the students get to you, focus on the ones eager to learn. and if you need any help, i am in the literature department. My name is Ben." he turns and picks up his coffee order. i am a little tacken aback, realizing that he thinks that I am teaching. I pick up my coffee and finally make it to the classroom. i feel out of place with all the students talking and many know each other. i about choke on my coffee when the attractive Professor enters and greets the class.
