A Valentine for my teacher - Jane Cane

15:10 Valentine’s Day. Ugh. Worst day of the year. I’ve been on my feet all day and, of course, right as it’s time for me to leave, another student walks into my office wanting something. I remind him that my office hours are over, but he says he just wants to give me my Valentine. He’s so cute standing there with the little white envelope in his hand. I smile and tell him to come on in. He asks what I’m up to tonight and I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I’m taking myself out on a date. I’ve been so busy with my career. This is my first year as a professor and now that I’m going for my doctorate, I don’t have time for traditional dating. As I open my card, I am shocked at what he’s written inside! It says he wants to FUCK ME. WTF! I want to be disgusted, but he’s so cute and shy!!! He can’t even look me in the eye! I can’t believe I’m about to do this. What am I thinking, I could lose my job. But, he’s so innocent. I can’t help it. I reach over and touch his leg.
