Where We Met

I was asked to be an adjunct professor for one semester while they find a permanent replacement in the International Business program.Being the one who never wants to disappoint or say no, I accepted.I'm excited to give some of my time to others.My business, that I own with my siblings, has taken off and given me more than I ever could have dreamed of.Then the first day of class comes, and she walks in the room.I notice her green eyes first and have to try my hardest not to stare during the entire lecture.Despite how beautiful she is, and how drawn I feel to her, I know I can't cross that line. I'm the rule follower of the family.But a couple of chance encounters lead to me getting to know her a bit more.Now I feel my heart getting involved, and the strength I once thought I had, is fading.With every touch, every look, every text, my control continues to slip.
