The Anxious Grad Student
A shyly handsome college grad student with a reluctant smile approaches the front desk of the Pennington-Shelburne research library at Northwestern State University. His shirt and slacks and deck shoes indicate that he is from a comfortable, well-to-do family. The tall librarian with striking Eurasian looks peers up at him over the rims of her half-glasses.
“May I help you?” she asks, her coffee colored eyes sparkle with flecks of cinnamon and wash up and down his lanky frame. An appreciative smile creases her face.
“Um, yes you may … well, at least I think you can … you should …” The grad student shuffles his feet uncomfortably, his deck shoes squeaking against the well-polished parquet flooring.
“Is there a particular title in which you are interested?” the librarian asks. There is an air of confidence in her voice, as if there isn’t any reasonable request that she cannot satisfy. Although she is obviously older than he is, he finds her very attractive, which only makes his request that much more difficult and spikes his nervousness.
“Um, yes. I’m one of Professor Fowler’s grad students and I need to check this book out.” The young man clutches a pink request slip in his hand. The paper is slightly crumpled and damp from his sweaty palms.
“And just what book would that be?” the librarian asks. When the young man hesitates, crumpling the request slip even more, she stands up and reaches toward him. She pauses, her large dark eyes raising to lock onto his.
“Um, this … is, um … the book … I’m … looking for,” he says, his voice a stilted jumble of nerves, his fingers fumbling with the request slip.
With an accommodating smile, the librarian reaches over and takes the slip from his relieved hand. She deliberately lays the slip out on the desk and flattens it with her hand. He notices that her ring finger is bare. His handwriting is strong and block lettered.
“I see that you must be working in Professor Fowler’s Psychology of Sexuality group,” the veteran librarian says with a light air of humor shading her voice.
“Um, yes … I am,” the student says shyly. “How did you know?”
“All of his students eventually get around to requesting this book. It’s very popular on campus for obvious reasons. Let me check and see if our copy is available.”
The librarian sits back down and turns to her computer. As she clicks her way through the virtual stacks he cannot avoid looking her over. The warm gaze of his liquid blue eyes washes down from her shoulder length auburn hair to her tailored blouse down to her snug black knit skirt and her bare tanned legs, even down to her sandaled feet. He grins appreciatively upon noting that with the recent spate of hot weather she must not have been wearing a bra as her nipples are sharpened into points and press against the soft fabric of her blouse. When she looks back up at him, she must have realized that he is checking her out. He blinks his eyes and looks down and away, feeling his cheeks blush. She smiles.
“Why, yes. You’re in luck. Our copy of this book is currently in. Would you like me to retrieve it for you?”
“Oh, yes, please. Thank you,” he answers, exactly the way his mother had taught him. Be polite. Always say, “Please,” and “Thank you.” The librarian seems to appreciate his courtesy and respect.
“I’ll be just a moment,” the librarian says. “Just wait here and I’ll be right back.”
He grins and nods appreciatively. He also watches as she turns her back to him and walks toward a cabinet on the wall behind the front desk. He finds the sway of her ass very alluring as she saunters across the domain of her work area. What is there about an attractive older woman to an early 20s college grad student with hormones raging? He can’t take his eyes off her. Her scent, the sound of her sandals striking the flooring, the wiggle of her body is almost mesmerizing. After retrieving a key from the cabinet, she turns back to him. There is a momentary pause as her eyes narrow and she looks him up and down. Then a wry smile curls up the corners of her mouth.
“Would you care to come with me?” she asks.
“Um, yeah … if it’s like … all right and all,” he stammers.
She waves him around the desk and waits as he hurries to catch up to her.
“It’s just a short walk down this hall and around the corner,” she says, noticing that his blush hasn’t faded. “The rare books room is normally off limits, but it’s kind of a slow day and you look like you might enjoy a little treat.”
“Excuse me,” he says, his voice nearly cracking with anticipation as they walk down the hallway side by side. “But have you ever read this book I’m looking for?”
“The Kama Sutra?” she says. “Oh, I have heard about it, but I’ve never had the opportunity to actually read it.”
“Oh,” he says, running his hand over the worn embossed leather binding. “Well, I would have thought you had already … I mean being a librarian and all.”
