My name is Kevin. My girlfriend's name is Tina. Both of us are Asian. Tina is a 5'5" dark-skinned, long-black-haired, soft-skin, brown eyes, and the most gorgeous lips that start brown but are tapered with the pink of her labias. She was one-of-a-kind. I was 18 and in a few months, she would be too; both still in high school, wondering what we were going to do for the rest of our lives. I always knew she liked other guys but we developed a bond and she settled for me during our time together. Come senior year, we had a AP Physics teacher, a Russian man named Mr. Yuno. He was 6'4" and very rugged, but handsome. Always wore a Hawaiian shirt but was somewhat muscular.
I noticed that as the days went by, she started staring at him more. She would mention things I never thought about, being a straight male. "Did you see his but?" she would randomly chime in. Once, she made that very comment when Mr. Yuno dropped a piece of paper in front of her desk.
She made that comment without thinking since she was so used to commenting about his body. Mr. Yuno heard her and turned to her. He caught her glimpse. But instead of ignoring her, there was a smile, a devious one. I don't think even HE knew the facial expression he made. It's not the expression you make towards students, of-age or not. It was an "If you want it, come and get it" face. It was as if he connected the dots.
Her heart skipped a beat. It was such an intense moment, these two gazing into each other's eyes. In that very moment, I didn't exist. I was a non-essential. She was caught in the open and I could feel the butterflies in her stomach. She put her face down and blushed. Mr. Yuno went back to his desk. She was speechless.
She was thoroughly embarrassed but at the exact same time, so turned on by the exchange. It was a mix of embarrassment but also something else. A door opened for her. Was it excitement? Pleasure? All I know is, if she had a chance to relive this moment, she would put it on repeat until the end of time.
The very next week, my girlfriend Tina told me she was meeting Mr. Yuno after school for some tutoring. I found that odd since she was the highest ranking student in the class. Even during class, she would walk up and ask him questions. I could hear her giggling as the two mingled and thought nothing of it. He tried to keep his composure, but she was always so excited to see him, whether other students were around or not. She became more bold. Over the course of the next couple of weeks, she spent more and more time after school in his class than with me. Two days turned to three, turned to four, and eventually five as well. I was wondering why she wasn't exactly spending time with me. And didn't Mr. Yuno have a wife and kids?

Then one day, my girlfriend told me Mr. Yuno invited her out to have some coffee. Coffee? For an 18-year-old? That's very oddly mature of him to put that on her. And just her, for that matter. She also told me that they were having a great time and that he was like a father figure to her, given her actual father died of cancer 7 years prior. I had always been there for her but was glad there was another father figure in her life. Or so I thought.
My girlfriend then dropped a huge bombshell on me. As the weeks went by, after school when no one was around, he started asking her to come to the front of the class and sit side-by-side with him. She would ask very obvious questions with obvious answers. She would read ahead in the textbook so these questions wouldn't be so obvious.
"What is torque?" she would start the discussion with.
"Oh wow! You're ahead of the course, TIna! I never thought you would find Physics so interesting" He would reply.
My girlfriend gave off a nervous laugh. "I love this class. And I love having you as a teacher."
"And I love having you as a student. Why don't you sit closer to me, since the computer is hard to see."
She almost had a heart attack when she heard that. This was everything she could ever want. To be closer to her crush. To be in his personal space. They were already sitting about one foot apart, but now she and him would occupy the same space. To anybody else, this would be just a convenience, but to a teen-adult in love, this was the world.
He put his hand on her shoulder and pointed to the Mac computer screen. "See, torque has a Calculus portion where you multiply Force with..." But her mind phased out. Not like it mattered. She already read the chapter. This was solely to be with him and glance at him talking. To take him in. His stature. His dorky but cute combover. His chiseled cheekbones and chin. His wide shoulders. The sexy, rough bristles on his arms. She wanted all of it. In that moment, without having realized it, she knew what she wanted. I was never even a choice for her at that moment.
"You really like Mr. Yuno, don't you?" I snapped her back into reality.
"Well yeah, you could say that" she quickly replied without thinking.
"Wait, what do you mean "'You could say that?'" Her blissful thoughts betrayed her words. She hadn't realized she was talking to her boyfriend, me, at that point.
"Babe, that's not what I meant. I mean -- like -- I still like you." She likes her boyfriend. What did she mean by that? As if the word "love" was meant for someone else.
I didn't pay any mind to the statement. I didn't want to blow her situation out of proportion. I mean, she was spending time after school with a responsible adult and they had a budding friendship. What could go wrong.
