Teacher's Pet

Paul and Julia have known each other for years, though never as lovers.  Julia had been Paul's baby-sitter years ago and as she was only two years his senior, the young man had quickly become infatuated with her.  The two have remained in touch over the years, attended the same university, and now they are teaching the same subject in the same small town high school.  Paul's fantasy has always been to be with his beloved baby-sitter turned teacher, but he realizes that Julia will always think of him as nothing more than a friend.  Julia's gentle teasing makes Paul feel as if he were still a young boy, and the woman's somewhat suggestive remarks cannot possibly be true come-ons, can they?

When Paul had first come to the school he could not believe how good his former baby-sitter and first crush still looked.  She had matured, but the years had been a friend to her.  She was beautiful, and now Paul watched as the high school boys took a second look at her when she walked through the halls.  She stayed in shape, too.  That was obvious.

The only time the two of them had made love was in his own fantasy and in his own indecent thoughts.  He never would have believed that after a few years had gone by they would meet again.  Paul had forgotten about Julia for the most part, or so he had thought.
