It could have been just another year but this was like no other, I started law school that year, many years ago now. It was where I met an old flame Julie. I can recall those first days of lectures where most of us were newbies. It was both an exciting and anxious time. Yeah I checked out the chicks like way the gals look you up and down like you're on sale. I was and still am cocky. The unknown, would be a new beginning for some and ending for others. My name is Jason and I like to recall a story of my relationship with a beautiful young Vietnamese lady named Julie. I have seen her at the lectures. She was with another student. I assume it was her boyfriend due to their close interactions with other. I think they have decided to do law together, fron high school. There were plenty of attractive female students but for some reason I found this lady attractive. It was a combination of physical and perhaps personality, although I have yet to speak to her, but I can judge that from a distance.
This story has been revisited and is graphic in nature and based upon actual events from my early varsity days. There are some things like events, relationships in life that tend to remain in your head forever, this was one.
Julie was stunning. She was petite, maybe less than 5 feet 5 inches in height. She had long wavy black hair and a beautiful complexion. I felt an immediate attraction to this lady despite her being in a current relationship. Every man knows that this wouldn't bother him just to be able to flirt a little with another man's lady.
Then one day, I just happened to come across her in a corridor. She was lost and needed to get to a meeting. By chance I had attended the same meeting earlier, so was able to direct her. It was opportunity to speak to her.
"Yep, you need to head that way but take the lift to next level down and its on the right..er, I think it was meeting room 1.....yeah." I explained.
But I stared just that fraction too long. I sensed she knows I like her, even this briefly. Its weird that us humans can pick up small things like that, but it sort of "broke the ice" meaning it may be a conversation for next time.
"Thanks." She replied and walked off. Not even a smile and no "what's your name. I've seen you around etc."
Admittedly, I felt nervous but had this sense of "warm fuzzies" like a tiny bit of excitement upon the encounter. But like a typical male, I expected everything to work in my favor. And I did notice the sexy smell of her perfume as she walked pass. I was already mesmerised.
So apart from that moment, there was little interaction or opportunities come up, which was probably a good thing as I remember getting a lot of study done. That "chance" appeared to come about when I noticed Julie sitting apart from her boyfriend in a few lectures. It was noticeable that something wasn't right. That's when my mind started its wild imaginations. Maybe it was deliberate or perhaps it was for real. I didn't hear any rumours but then I wasn't part of their group. It was then I thought about approaching her, just small talk you know...yep I was the guy who gave you directions a few weeks ago...how about coffee? I imagined...yep, I wished. I just wanted to "test the waters."
So you know I followed her as she walked out of one lecture with her female friends, hoping to get an opportunity to say something to her after she finishes talking to them. But she left with a friend in her car. So my curiosity continued in the next few days until once again, she was in lectures with her boyfriend, sitting together. Rather then listen to the lecture, I ended up watching them. Yeah somethings not right. I think they are just trying to make up. And sure enough the rumours started. My heart pound loudly in my chest, as I nervously thought about an opportunity. Should I or should I not, she's just breaking up, she will be emotional. I will just be an ear for her but then I am a stranger, she has plenty of mates to talk to. She maybe not happy with someone like me hanging around. Her friends may not like that either. But knowing myself, I wanted to pursue her. The thought of other suitors concerned me, so I needed to do this.
Again, at the end of a lecture, she became accessible and I passed her by and had to say something.
"Did you find that meeting room OK?" I asked.
She looked at me, slightly confused.
"You're Jason right?" She stared at me.
"Yes, yes, its Julie right?" I replied quickly.
""Oh yeah, I did thank you." She replied with a slight smile.
"Hey, I just wondering.....if you like some coffee with me sometime?" I asked confidently.
"Oh, I have to go." She stares at the ground with a slight smile. "Bye."
Pheeew... that was close, I thought. But its a start.
Since that occasion, I have noticed her looking my way the odd time in lectures. Maybe its my imagination but its just possible....
As the weeks pass, her boyfriend is either sitting with her or sitting away. Clearly we were witnessing their breakup. Again I approached her after a lecture.
"Hi, what did you think of the class? Have you completed assignment 3?" I casually asked.
"No, its complicated at the moment." She responded.
"Hey, do you want to study with me?" I suggested.
"Its Jason isn't it? Look I have a boyfriend....it's complicated at moment. Thanks anyway." She bites her lower lip as she stared away. A tiny bead of tear appears from her right eye. She looked absolutely stunning.
Despite this, I felt rather aroused by her emotional fragility right now. The thought of having her right now was causing me to get excited. I was fantasing. The idea taking another man's girl was very arousing.
"I hope things work out for the better." I tried to empathize.
