There she was again in my office, sitting in my chair, her long sexy legs up on my desk. She smiled at me so innocently and asked me if I had time to talk, knowing that I always made time to talk with my students.
I work as the chef at a private school neatly tucked away in the middle of the vineyards of Napa Valley. The students come from various backgrounds and when they graduate everyone of them have gone on to be successful in the career they have chosen. A few like Kaycee had parents who insisted on them working to earn their spending money. So she found herself working in my kitchen. She was a quick learner and did her job well.
Kaycee was an amazing young lady. Bright, intelligent, an infectious smile and without a doubt one hot young body to go with her incredible personality. Sadly she also had had her fair share of problems. Her parents had divorced several years ago and she had learned the game of playing one off the other to get her way. But now at 18 years of age and graduation just around the corner, she was just oozing with enthusiasm and confidence.
So why was she again sitting in my chair with those damn gorgeous legs up on my desk. I sat down in another chair and asked her what's up, trying hard not to get caught staring. She talked about how she hated her geometry class, how frustrated she was with her dad and how much she disliked her mother. As I listened I let my mind wander. I wondered if she was flirting with me. She seemed to love spending much of her spare time talking with me. No that couldn't possibly be the case. I am 27 years her senior, gray, balding and several pounds heavier than I like. All of a sudden I realized she was quiet. As I looked at her I noticed she was staring at me. Seeing the recognition in my face she asked if I had even been listening. Of course I had and told her so. But we both knew that my thoughts were elsewhere. She got up from the chair and started to leave my office. Then she stopped and asked me if I thought she was pretty as she twirled around. I told her some day she was going to make some man very happy. Kaycee smiled. She walked over to me bent over and whispered in my ear - thank you giving me a great big hug. Knowingly she smiled and said I had better get home as she walked out the door.
