John and Olivia really enjoyed their talks as they got to know one another.
***
Mr. Blackburn asked Olivia to meet him in private right after class.
John was coincidentally walking by the room, and walked in due to the excessive noise.
He then knew something was really wrong through the way things looked. Then he looked in Olivia’s direction and said, “I couldn’t help but come in and was wondering what was going on. Is there anything I can do to help?”
Mr Blackburn then said, “No John there’s nothing wrong,” but the expression on Olivia’s face said something different.
John then thought to himself, should I call the President of the University and/or the police?
John then took control of the situation and said, “Mr. Blackburn, I’d like for you to wait for me outside the door. I need to speak to Olivia in private, and then I’ll call you in.”
John then looked Mr. Blackburn in the eye and said, “I don’t want to have to go searching for you. Do you understand me?”
Mr. Blackburn then meekly shook his head up and down and left the room.
Olivia then ran over to John and hugged him and he could tell that she was scared.
John went ahead into the room and went to Olivia. He saw that she had just wiped away her tears, and he quietly spoke to her for a couple of minutes and she let him know what happened and her wishes in this matter. All of a sudden, Olivia gave John a big hug around the neck and he said, “Olivia, he will not bother you again.”
Walking with Olivia to the door, John said, “I’m now going to walk out of the room ahead of you and I’ll be facing Mr. Blackburn, and then you’ll walk in the opposite direction of where I’m facing. I want you to directly go to the cafeteria, and I’ll meet you immediately afterward.
Olivia then said, “Are you sure you know what you are doing?”
John simply smiled and said, “Olivia, I know how to deal with bullies.”
John then immediately walked out of the door, faced Mr. Blackburn and then Olivia left in the opposite direction of Mr. Blackburn to the cafeteria.
Olivia knew her gentle warrior was going to war for her.
After making sure that Olivia was safely gone, he asked Mr. Blackburn back into the classroom so they could talk about this matter.
Mr Blackburn then meekly walked into the classroom and said, “John, I can stay a minute but I have to back to my office to mark lab assignments.”
John then closed the door behind him and locked it.
John then simply said, “Don’t worry Mr. Blackburn, this will only take a minute.”
“Olivia just explained what had just happened. Lucky for her that I was going by the classroom and heard what was going on.”
“Listen-up Blackburn: When it comes to Miss Turlo, you had might as well think of me as the right hand of God.”
With wide eyes and looking down, his nostrils flared open. “If you ever speak to Miss Turlo outside a full-classroom setting, or bother her again then I’ll come after you.”
Mr. Blackburn knew that John was about to explode. He was very afraid, but tried to justify his actions, “Now John, I am a single man and she’s a single woman. She was flirting with me after class saying that she needed private…”
It was simply too much for John and he went over and punched Mr. Blackburn full-out below the belt. Mr. Blackburn hunched over groaning in pain, and grasping for breath.
“Mr. Blackburn, I don’t think that you are listening to me but I believe that I’ve just got your attention.”
“Olivia is at the beginning of her life, she’s pure, innocent and is following her passion. I may even be in love…” but he stopped himself. “If you ever look at her cross-ways, or follow her, or talk to her outside of a full classroom setting, or fail that great achiever, I’ll make you very sorry…..”
John continued, “If you threaten her, I’ll put you in the hospital. If you hurt her then you’ll be going to the morgue. I might not look like a toughened street kid from Chicago, but I know how to make people sorry they ever lived. Do you understand what I’m saying to you?” Mr. Blackburn was too scared to look John in the eye and simply whispered “Yes.” John pushed Mr Blackburn away, leaving him cowering and hurt.
Mr Blackburn was only left hurt, humiliated but very clearly warned. He never knew how close he was to serious bodily harm or death.
Immediately, John went to Olivia’s dorm and politely knocked on her door. Olivia had just arrived back from class and opened the door. “Olivia, may I please come in?”
Olivia replied, “Yes, of course John.”
John then asked, “How are you feeling today?”
Olivia then said, “I’m still a little shaken but otherwise I’ll be fine.”
John then smiled and said, “I’ve just had a discussion with Mr. Blackburn and he won’t ever bother with you again.”
Olivia was immediately overcome with relief and emotion for the man that protected her, she immediately ran over and passionately kissed him on the lips. She said, “Thank you for protecting me from that…man. I can’t hold back the way that I feel about you and want to say that I love you and I want you to be beside me forever.”
John was speechless and with a red flushed face he smiled and said, “I love you too.”
They passionately kissed and embraced each other for a long-time, never wanting the moment to go away. After a long-time, John finally spoke-up and said, “We must be very careful as to how we present ourselves at this point. You are a new student in university, 20 years old, and must complete all your courses to become a doctor. I’m your professor that is 10 years your senior.
As we both know, professors are made to sign a code of conduct upon employment, strictly forbidding them from dating students that are currently in one of their courses. If I’m found in breach of my contract, my job would be immediately terminated.
Not only do you need to complete your studies, but I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I’m in the process of creating a advanced Human Physiology book that is a culmination of all that I’ve integrated over the years. It’s my life’s work to date.”
“We must be patient.” Then John gracefully took Olivia’s hand and pulled her to him where there passionately kissed once again.
John slowly walked towards the door and then he finally said, “You are in my thoughts and in my heart.” Then John was gone. Olivia looked out her dorm window and saw John walking down the walkway. About a hundred feet away, he turned around, smiled and waving he took a very long look at her.
Olivia’s heart was intoxicated with this new emotion called Love. She immediately fell in love with this man that followed his inward passion and calling.
All of a sudden, those muscle bound jocks that had all those good looks suddenly seemed so small and insignificant. All they wanted that do was party and date. Sadly, she even pitied them.
