Chapter One Savior's Bible College
Pam carefully applied her pink lipstick and checked her outfit. She had on her modest pink sweater set, a long sleeved sweater with a matching long skirt. Her only jewelry was the gold crucifix and chain she always wore. She was going to see "Thomas" that is Mr. Thompson her biblical archeology teacher at his office. He was a few years older than her but not by much. He had just finished his BS degree in education last year at State and she was a freshman starting her first semester.
Pam had a crush on Mr. Thompson. She listened in church to sermons warning of adultery and lust but she was attracted to him so she made up a reason to schedule a conference with him in his office. She hoped that he liked her, she silently prayed as knocked on his office door.
That night she put on her long white cotton nightgown and knelt by the bed holding her crucifix in her fingertips and prayed. She wanted a husband, a man like Thomas and asked God for him. The Bible said to ask and ye shall receive. Saying amen she sat on her bed and read in her Bible the story of Esther, a Jewish virgin, that was picked to go into the king then became a queen and saved her people. Not being able to keep her eyes open, she nodded off and the Bible slipped down between her legs, resting on her womanhood.
Pam was having a dream. Thomas was her husband and he was fondling her breast. His other hand was on her womanhood she could feel his firm touch. Startled she woke to find it was her own hand touching her breast. Between her legs clenched together tightly, the spine of her Bible was pushed against her clitoris. Startled and embarrassed at her sinful nature she cried herself to sleep. It was hard sitting in his class watching him speak so she sat in the back behind a football player. Mr. Thompson really knew the material and answered the tough questions that they threw him in class. She prayed and asked the lord to help her forget her school girl crush.
The fall semester was over; the finals were given, and the college was shutting down for the winter holiday. Soon he to would be driving to Tampa to visit family and friends. Thomas was the newest faculty member in the biblical studies department at Saviors Bible College. He liked the job but it really was hard because he was tempted by the young women in his classes; in particular a pretty girl named Pam. He was trying to be true to his girlfriend from church back home. They were talking about marriage and he was planning on asking her during Christmas and had already purchased an engagement ring. His passions and lust would be saved for his wife when they were married then he would not be so tormented.
Then he thought again about Pam, he could not get her out of his mind. Pam was a freshman majoring in Christian music at Saviors. Pam was a petite and perky girl with a love of the Lord that showed in her demeanor and the conservative clothing that she wore in the classroom. She had a nice figure, long blonde hair and would make someone a very happy man. Pam wore modest makeup and was always wearing necklaces with a cross or crucifix to show her love for Jesus. In his heart he desired her and coveted her beauty.
Ellen his girl friend was his same age, sort of over weight and to be honest not very sexy. After a few chaste kisses she would push him away. He hoped that would change after marriage but he was not sure.
Thomas remembered the time late in the semester when Pam came to his office for a conference. She was doing great in his course, a weak "A" average but she wanted to know more about her major. He gave her some general information and referred her to a professor on his selection committee who was easy to talk with about academic stuff. She asked him about the picture he had on his desk of Ellen wondering if it was his sister. She seemed disappointed when he told her Ellen is his girlfriend. That day she had been wearing a pink sweater set and looked so fresh and wholesome that he questioned his plans with Ellen in his heart.
Christmas was a busy time with family, friends and most of all with Ellen. His parent's house was overcrowded so he had rented a room for the week at a tourist court and slept there. It was an efficiency room with a kitchen, a bathroom, a couch and a double bed. It had not been renovated in a million years and was cheap. Thomas was getting ready for the big night, they were going to a holiday ball and he wanted to look his best. He was going to pop the question tonight to his beloved.
Ellen seemed oddly distant through out the evening; almost like she was not really happy to be with him. The dance was great with all the couples dressed up to the hilt; the men in tuxes and the ladies in formal gowns. Ellen was wearing a navy blue satin dress which looked great on her especially with the black stockings and heels. After dessert he told her how much he missed her while away at his new job and how he loved her. He started to propose and was about to pull out the ring box when she shook her head saying "no" and told him that she, "did not love him and marriage with him was not God's plan for her life." She jerked the rug out from under him hard.
The rest of the evening was like a funeral. He took her home and they said goodbye. When he said goodbye he knew it was for the last time. It was really over. Ellen had told him about Wally, a guy from her new church and she wanted to be free to follow her heart. She asked if "we could still be friends?"
He spent the next day with his folks and when they asked about Ellen he had to explain that they had broken up the night before. He did not mention his crash and burn proposal wanting to hold on to some of his dignity. His dad suggested that he needed to get out of the house and stop moping about it and go meet some girls. It was a real guy solution to the problems of courtship. Another one would come along in awhile like a city bus.
