Chapter 24- Revelation

Emily's POV

It's been an uncomfortably long time since i felt my girlfriend's embrace, although that term was fairly foreign now- saying it out loud was incredibly stupid based on the events that had been thrown towards my relationship.

I was fortunate enough to have a ridiculously huge work load to contribute to distracting myself from the pit that had taken residence in my stomach. Me and Danni were both constantly working, and that's how had been for a few weeks now because of graduation closing in on us.

It had been about two weeks since the note appeared on her desk, and they happened to be two of the most painful weeks of my life. The only thought that was dragging me through the days at this point was whenever the next 'strictly professional' study meeting would be with Danni. She said we should still have them because otherwise it would arouse too much suspicion- but only weekly, which just wasn't enough.

Last week's study session was our first one and the awkwardness of it was immeasurable. The conversations were rarely able to stray away from whatever work she had set; I was required to sit on the other side of her desk so as not to be tempted by each other's touch or the comfort of unprofessionalism; and they lasted no more than an hour- leaving the building with people still in it was super strange. Another slight minus of the situation was that i no longer had company on my journey home, and had to suffice with a long and lonesome walk.

I was constantly reminding myself that all of this would be more than worth it shortly after graduation, when we were able to be a bit more relaxed in the ways we dealt with our relationship.

Thankfully, today marks a week since our last session- meaning that I would have an hour I Danni's company after school.

The day flew by- possibly because i was so excitable to study with my English teacher, who was also my girlfriend. In no time, i was knocking on the door of her classroom and entering when she professionally waved me into the room.

I took my usual seat in front of her, rather than beside her, and took a whole moment to pause and take in her appearance.

She looked absolutely exhausted and i could hardy even fit my books on the desk due to the mass of coffee cups she had littered everywhere. She looked up and smiled at me, in the same way that stole my heart right from underneath me.

"Hiya, its been a short while. How's life?" She muttered, with a sense of dejection in her voice.

"I'm okay, I've been super stressed about my English- I dont think I've spent enough time on it. Ive missed it, actually." I said in the most cringe manner with a wink at the end.

I could see that she perfectly understood my awful attempt to flirt as a smirk instantly replaced any sense of sadness on her face.

"English is a great subject, so i completely understand." She paused and seemed as though she was reflecting on all things that had gone down recently. "I marked your paper for you, by the way." She finished scribbling over a random piece of paper and slid it across the table towards me.

I instantly realised that this was not a paper i had written at all, and it was in fact just a scrap piece of paper she'd written on, "You look overwhelmingly beautiful today, and i miss you insanely."

I fought against the smile that was forcing its way onto my face, and got easily defeated. "Okay, thanks for the feedback. It means a lot."

We got caught in each other's gaze for a few seconds, forgetting the world around us- of course until she paused to rise from her chair to grab whatever work we had to complete in order to maintain this facade.

I ensured that as i was working through her task, i made a show of struggling on certain questions which would of course have been no problem if Danni wasn't sat directly in front of me.

At hearing me ask for her assistance, she would rise from her desk and come and crouch down next to me, making it seem as through she was attempting to see the question more closely but was, in actuality, seeking contact in the most subtle of ways.

As she slowly read the extract out loud, like one of the patronising teachers who seemed to think that reading something for themselves will help you understand, i felt her hand gently creep onto my thigh. Her thumb moved back a fourth in the most comforting way, and i placed my hand over hers  after checking that her body guarded the show of affection from the sight of the door.

Me being me, i found lots of the questions tough and required Danni to read them to me to make them seem slightly easier. And she obliged willingly- knowing my game, I'm sure.

The hour was over as soon as it had begun, and amounting the courage to stand and leave until next week was the hardest thing I've ever done. But i did.

And as i bade her farewell, i felt that all familiar sadness sink in and take over every fibre of my being once more.

A/n- Hello! Please continue to comment on my chapters because i love reading the small amount that are there. Sorry for the shorter chapter, it was mainly just a filler and a perspective i felt was somewhat needed. The next few chapters will be a lot more eventful- promise.
I hope you're enjoying the story so far :))
