how do you forget these old friends?

So I am doing so things my boss ask me to do. On this list It says that I need to call my old school to get some information about aprentices. So I am thinking, this will be easy. I have a great relationship with the school even though I have been in contact with them for awhile. This was the school that offered me a job in Red Deer (the one that I regret not taking), but that is water under the bridge now. I make the call and ask for the information. The lady on the phone doesn't know but she gives me(let's call him Jake) Jake's cell number. This guy was a mentor of mine, with a simular background. We both grew up catholic, both went to catholic baording school, both have this crazy love of music and we both have this amazing passion for funeral care and the proffesion. So we talk and catch up a little. He answers my questions. Then there is this akward pause. He is passing through the Hat tonite on his way to another province. And I know we are both wondering in our minds if we should get together for a drink and a chat. I havn't felt akward like that in a long time. Not that I liked him that way, but sometimes those situations can be dangerous. I mean here is this guy who believes so much in what we do. And not only that, but in what I can do. His personal belief in my abilities and his respect for what I bring to the table leaves me dumbfounded sometimes. When I was a student I couldn't help but have one of those sort of crushes. Not like the bad kind, but one of those minor, it's so nice to be around you ones. Please don't get me wrong, I am a married woman and he was my teacher. It's just really nice to have people in your profession support you and your ideas whole heartedly. Anyways that was basically it. I recovered the silence by telling him I had plans tonight and that the next time he comes through we should get together. Most likely I will be busy those nights as well.
