House Of Dracula

He looked down at his watch.

“Now I have had a long night, as I’m sure all of you have, so I’m going to let you go early.  I do however expect you to read the first chapter of the text by the time we meet Wednesday.” Luke said.

All of the students still sat looking at him.

“Ladies and gentlemen I believe that I asked you to leave.” Luke said as he walked around his desk.

The students got up and began filing out of the class­room.  One of the young women motioned for her friends to go on.  She was a thin young woman with long curly brown hair and gentle blue eyes.  She walked to Luke’s desk as he looked down at some papers.  Her lips turned up in a warm kind smile as she leaned on the desk.

“You want something?” Luke asked.

“Yes, I’m Charlotte Watson, but my friends call me Charli.” she said.

“Is that all Charlotte?” he asked.

“Call me Charli.  No, that’s not all.  I was just wondering how I would go about getting a job here at the college.  This is my first day here and I really do need a job.” Charli said.

“There are times when a woman with your looks wouldn’t have to look for a job.” Luke said.

“You haven’t looked up at me since I came over here.” Charli said.

“I noticed you in class, it was a little hard not to.” Luke answered.

He opened the top drawer of his desk and pulled out a piece of paper.  He lay on the desk in front of her and looked up at her.  Charli gasped as the door closed by itself.

“What’s that?” Charli asked laying her hand on the paper.

“It’s an application for a work-study position.  Once it’s filled out it is up to the Administration to hire you.” Luke said.

Charli smiled as he walked around his desk.

“Why would an attractive young man like yourself waste his time teaching in an insignificant little place like this.” Charli asked as if she were almost in a daze.

Luke lay his right hand on her left cheek and moved close to her.  He jerked back and walked to the window.

“What just happened?” Charli asked.

“It doesn’t matter.” Luke said.

Charli lay her hand on his shoulder.

“It does matter.  Look, I know this has a hint of impropriety, but I don’t mind if you don’t.” Charli said.

“Are you awake yet?” Luke asked.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Charli asked.

“Aside from the fact that I am your teacher and it could get me fired, I am not someone you want to get involved with.  I’m not even someone you want to know.” Luke said.

“But I do, that’s the reason I wanted the job.  I’m here on a scholarship, I don’t really need the money.” Charli said.
