    "description": "<p>\"Oh my god. Who is that?\"<br /> I get asked this question a lot.<br /> \"Oh him?\" I reply. \"That's just Ian.\"<br /> <br /> Just Ian is the biggest understatement of the century.<br /> Just the Mona Lisa. Just the Taj Mahal. Just Ian, with his boring ol' washboard abs and dime-a-dozen dimpled smile.<br /> <br /> Just Ian is... just my best friend.<br /> <br /> We're extremely close, stuck so deep inside a Jim-and-Pam-style friendzone everyone at works assumes we're a couple - that is until one day, word spreads through the teacher's lounge that he's single. Fair game. Suddenly, it's open season on Ian.<br /> <br /> He should be reveling in all the newfound attention, but to our mutual surprise, the only attention he seems to want is mine.<br /> <br /> He's turning our formerly innocent nightly chats into x-rated phone calls. Our playful banter sports a new, dangerous edge.<br /> <br /> I want to assume he's playing a prank on me, just pushing my buttons like always - but when Ian lifts me onto the desk in my classroom and slides his hands up my skirt, he doesn't leave a lot of room for confusion.<br /> <br /> I'm a little scared of things going south, of losing my best friend because I can't keep my hands to myself. So, I'm just going to back away and not return this earth-shattering kiss - oh who am I kidding?!<br /> <br /> Goodbye Ian, ol' buddy, ol' pal!<br /> <br /> Helloooo mister not so nice guy.</p>",
