smiled.  “You have a sweet side Dave.” 
She unconsciously laced her fingers through his and he smiled at her.  “So,
have you declared a major yet?”
    “Don’t need to.  I actually go to school to
explore and learn about what truly interest me.”
    “Doesn’t earning a living one day interest
you?”
    “I already earn a living.  Dave grinned at
her as if she were a naïve child.  “If there’s one thing college does not teach
it’s how to make money.” 
    “You’re probably right about that.” Liv
laughed.
    “I am.  When you declare a major you learn
a profession and if you’re lucky that profession pays off for you.  However,
most college graduates don’t even end up working in their major.”
    “So what are you interested in?”
    “You.” Dave’s eyes lit up.
    “Obviously.  You know what I mean.”
    “Psychology.”  Liv gave him a punch in the
arm.  “How bout you Liv what interest you?”
    Hearing him say her name gave her tingles. 
She felt like she was twelve.  “Psychology, for real.” She stressed.  “You know
what else interest me, the concept of going through life not looking for
anything.  I'm really kinda likening that.”
    “Yea. I like that one myself.  A wise man
must have told you that one.”  He smiled and his blue eyes twinkled.
    “Yea a wise-ass man.”
    “No you mean a sexy wise ass man.”  They
both laughed.
    “Do you really believe that people can go
through life not looking for something?”
    “Maybe not everyone, but ya know you don’t
have to be looking for something to find something.  I wasn’t looking for you
but then there you were.”  I think life should be more about taking advantage
of the opportunities in front of you.  Recognizing them and then grabbing hold
of them.”
    Liv smiled.  “I can think of a couple
things I’d like to grab hold of right now.”  Dave nudged her with his
shoulder.  “Jeez give a guy a rest.” 
    The more they talked the more she liked
him.  It was surprising how humorous he was.  Unfortunately this humorous Dave
that she liked so much was sidetracking her from the real reason she had agreed
to have dinner with him.  This had to end and she knew it.  Although Dave was
obviously well beyond his years he was still maybe only five or so years older
than her daughter.  This was just wrong on so many levels.   Thank goodness
Dave was wise enough to the situation to realize that they needed to go over a
couple towns to eat.  A professor having dinner alone with a student of the
opposite sex would raise more than a few eyebrows.
    While Dave ordered dessert for them Liv
took a moment to look around.  Even though Dave had been holding her hand off
and on through the entire dinner, no one seemed to see them as anything
unusual.  It was obvious to anyone watching that they were lovers.  They sat
side by side and oddly enough it felt very natural. 
    “This doesn’t have to end Liv.  Let’s just
ride it out and see what happens.  No one has to know if you don’t want them
to.  I understand that you have a reputation to keep.”  Dave sat up a little
straighter.  “Actually, I do have one myself you know, a reputation that is. 
Dave revealed a huge smile.  I don’t normally date good looking well educated
women.  No!  Only ugly stupid girls for me!  I’ve made it my mission in life to
provide love for all those poor dumb homely fugly girls out there.  But now
you’ve gone and changed all of that Dr. Belmont.  If word gets out, all those
dumb homely fugly girls of the world that I’ve been servicing will morn and
then the real shit will hit the fan.  Yes, yes, yes there will be more crazy
ass whiny horny girls on the loose than the world can handle.  All because
everyone knows that I have now been smitten by a very intelligent and beautiful
woman.  Who just happens to also have a knock-out body.  Don’t think ya want
that kinda responsibility on your conscious do ya
