I was struck by his beauty

I got out of class early today.  I finished what I needed to, got my grade (an A, in case you're interested) and decided that rather than dawdle around in school, I'd catch an earlier train home.

As I was walking past the bookstore, I became aware of a man walking next to me.  His pace was slightly faster than mine, and as he walked past me I turned to look at him.

He literally took my breath away.  Tall, but not lanky, slim - toned, athleticically slim, not hipster herion-skinny - with dark curly hair and gorgeous blue/green eyes.  He was an adonis, and I after a few yards I found that I had stepped up my pace so that I could look at him some more.

He had a slight stubble on his face, which I adore.  For some reason, that stubble made me imagine waking up with him on a Sunday morning, our arms and legs tangled up in each other, his face pressed into the back of my neck.  I have to tell you that the thoughts that ran through my mind as I watched him walk were not befitting of a married woman....they weren't xxx rated; they were erotic.  Me, wearing his shirt - and only his shirt.... him taking my hand as we walk....my hands in that dark curly hair.  He was so fucking beautiful.

Beautiful.  And, a professor at the college, which means he's smart....and I adore smart.  Smart beats looks, period.   

He stopped at the door of his classroom, and I turned me head to stare as I walked by.  He was in the middle of a gaggle of students who were telling him why they didn't/couldn't do their homework, but he did look up and for a brief second our gaze met and my heart jumped.  Then he looked away, and my heart fell.  Who am I kidding, thinking that a man as beautiful as him would think that a stumpy little podge like me was worthy of his time and attention.  Besides, I'm married.  It's not as if I'd be able to do anything with his attention should I gain it; trying to get him to notice me would ultimately be an exercise in futility, but goddam, that man is beautiful.

I am incredibly tempted to make myself available at the same time, in the same place next Wednesday just so I can catch a glimpse of him again.  I swear, I have never seen such beauty in a man and I am so struck by it I can hardly find the words to express it. 

God, that man is beautiful, and I wish he were mine.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a crush even if you are married. Admiring someone from afar is safe and gives you a little boost so why not. You know where the line is. I'm trying to think of an excuse for you to take his picture so we can ALL admire him.

Man, if I had a photo of him......I'd carry it everywhere and spend all day gazing at it.

The crazy thing is that he's not my type.  Not at all.  If you asked me to describe my ideal man, he WOULDN'T look anything like my description.....which makes me wonder just what the hell he has that makes me find him so attractive.

Not unless you were the lanky, slim professor with the dark curly hair, green eyes and slight stubble that I passed in the hallway yesterday!

Find out what subject he teaches and sign up for it next semester, then you can gaze upon his magnificence to your heart's content, hehe.

I had thought about that, but I'm afraid that a) I wouldn't get any work done in the class because I'd be staring at him all the time, b) I'd make an idiot out of myself by flunking the class, and c) I'd find out things about him that would shatter my dreams - like him having a girlfriend (I didn't see a ring, so I'm assuming that he's not married) or worse still a boyfriend (nooo!  He can't be gay!!!!!) or some other nasty thing like terrible halitosis (I'm sure that copious amounts of mouthwash would make kissing him tolerable, at least.  I shouldn't be thinking about kissing him, really.  It does things to me...and it's wrong.  Very wrong.).

Having said that, I don't think that there's anything that could put me off him right now.

Congrats on the 'A' btw!

Fanks!  It's the second one; I got 98% on both of the tests thus far.
