Penelope
“Knock, knock,
” I say as I rasp my knuckles on the white door
frame and poke my head into the classroom. It’s the Thursday
before students start back at the private school next week,
and after missing out on the first three days of prep—getting
our classrooms ready for the start of the year—due to a
vicious migraine, I’ve come to introduce myself to the new
male teacher everyone has been talking about. The hint of a
greenish-gray tattoo peeking above his collar at the nape of
his neck has put Mrs. Goldstein and Mrs. Martinez in quite the
tizzy.
I’m not popping in to get a look at the rumored giant
myself, of course, but to warn him about the few who treat
their marriage certificates as nothing more than a mere
suggestion of a commitment.
Ok, so maybe I want just a teensy, weensy little look. I’m
not married anymore, so what’s the harm?
My teensy, weensy little look turns into a head-to-toe
perusal of the confirmed giant leaning over his dark wooden
desk, sorting through a stack of papers with his impressively
broad back to the door. He whips his head up at the sound of
my voice. My eyes, immediately glued to the front of his tight
black trousers that hug thick thighs, skate up his wide waist
and barrel chest to his handsome face when he turns and
makes a choking sound. His knees almost buckle, and the
papers in his hands go flying in the air.
“Oh my god, are you ok?” I rush into the room as fast as I
can in the red fuck-me-heels I bought the day I signed my
divorce papers four years ago as a gift to myself. I’ll be back to
wearing my sensible sandals and sneakers when the school
year officially starts but for now…I’m letting my hair down,
so to speak, both physically and metaphorically.
The man wraps his hand around the front of his throat. I
must have startled him and made him choke on his gum or
something. He’s almost a head taller than my five-foot-sixinch stature plus three-inch heels. He’s also on the heavier
side, so I can’t quite get my arms all the way around him from
behind when I attempt to give him the Heimlich maneuver,
though I try my best after yelling for help. How no one hears
me and comes running is anyone’s guess.
If I were chewing gum, I’d choke too when he turns in my
hold, drops and wraps his huge arms around my waist, and
pulls me in for a hug like I’m his long-lost lover.
It’s weird, to say the least.
“Holy shit, it’s you,
” he says with disbelief after he drops
his face into my dark blonde hair and—did he just sniff me?
