Stop him before it goes too far

Alyssa brushed his hand away as she stood up suddenly, smoothing her skirt down over her thighs as she rushed out of the darkened theatre. Glancing back she saw the stranger look after her in puzzlement. She was still looking over her shoulder as she walked through the door, almost running down a man who was about to enter the theatre.

"Excuse me," Alyssa mumbled as she started to walk around the man, her face burning with embarassment at being caught coming out of the theatre.

"Are you all right, Mrs. Venetia?" the man asked politely, a look of concern on his face. Glancing up at him, Alyssa noticed that it was the man who had seemed so familiar to her earlier. How did he know her last name? Alyssa wondered to herself as she looked at him in puzzlement. He looked so damned familiar but she couldn't place his face.

"I'm fine," Alyssa mumbled as she tried to move around him to leave the shop only to find him blocking her path with his body.

"You don't remember me do you?" He asked with a faint smile as if he was enjoying her confusion. Alyssa looked at him closely trying to think back over the years but not being able to place him. He was tall and well built, standing a good foot taller then Alyssa's 5'3" and his chest and shoulders were broad and well muscled. His hair was short and dark, almost black in color, his eyes were bright blue which made his gaze seem amazingly penetrating.

"I'm sorry, but do I know you?" Alyssa asked, a look of complete confusion on her pretty face.

"I'm Seth Rogers," the stranger said. "I was in your algebra class back in high school." As she heard his name Alyssa suddenly recognized him.

"Wow, Seth, you've really changed," Alyssa said in astonishment. Seth had been in her class three years ago and had recieved endless torment from his classmates. He had been the embodiment of a nerd back in high school complete with pocket protector and horn rimmed glasses. She could hardly believe that such a dorky student could grow up into the attractive man standing in front of her. "What are you doing now?" She finally asked, her curiousity for her former student overriding her embarassment at being caught in such a lewd place.

"Oh, I'm in college here in town, finishing up my major," Seth said with a shrug of his shoulders. "You look as good as ever, Mrs. Venetia," He said with a smile as his eyes took in her slim body and attractive face.

"Thank you, Seth" Alyssa replied with a smile. "Well, I've got to get going," She said as she tried to move past him again. She had been glad to have spoken with a former student but the lecherous way he had just looked at her had reminded her of her surroundings and that she really should be leaving.

"Oh, okay," Seth said with a small frown of disappointment as he moved aside to let her past. Alyssa headed for the door quickly and was almost out the door when he spoke to her again, "Mrs. Venetia, I feel kind of awkward asking this but could I buy you a drink? Just to catch up and everything.."

Alyssa stopped in the door and looked back at him, thinking about his question. It had been good to see him again and she'd like to learn more about him but the way he looked at her made her feel slightly uncomfortable and excited a slight bit at the same time. She really should be headed back to her hotel room or home but somehow this former student intrigued her.
