Professor Romanoff

Chapter 58

As soon as we got back from the week of fun, it was straight into studying. I was literally encased in a mountain of books and papers.

I'm one of those people who waits till the last minute to do something and then everything piles up. I didn't even touch my books while with Nat and her family, so that's my fault but it would've been rude to do that.

This is why I'm currently engrossed in all this work. I haven't even left my spot from the desk yet and it's... 1pm. I'm a hot mess, minus the hot part because my hair is in a loose, knotted bun and as for my attire...it's well, boxers and a big T-shirt. Very comfy, but not attractive whatsoever.

I was currently hunched over, studying for math, ughh. It is my least favorite subject, but I figured it would be a good place to start.

As I was going through, memorizing formulas, the door creaked open, revealing my girlfriend. "Hey little monster, how's studying going?" She questioned. "Mm," is all I said, not looking up to acknowledge her. "Are you too engrossed in your studies to even glance towards your girlfriend?" She teased and I could almost see the smirk on her face. "Mhm," I answered again. It's not that I was trying to actively ignore her, we'll I guess I kind of am, but I can't focus if she's in the room talking to me.

"Wow you're so talkative today," she said sarcastically. "I guess I'll leave you alone then," she continued, coming over to me to place a kiss on my temple. "I love you," she said as she walked out the door. "Mhm love you too," I mumbled back.

I felt bad that I was cold towards her, but I need to do well on these exams.

I wasn't sure how many hours passed, but clearly a lot because Nat was coming in to hand me some food. "Come on give it a rest baby. You won't retain that knowledge if you don't have food in your system," she said, trying to reason with me. "I'm not hungry and I need to concentrate," I replied, finally saying more than a few words and mumbles here and there.

"Can you just leave it on the nightstand then," I sighed, peeling my eyes from my papers to look at her, only to see a frown form. "Bubs you've been at it since we woke up. You can take a 10 minute break to eat and talk to me a little," she huffed.

"I would love to, truly, but I just can't. Exams are starting in 2 days, so I need to have all this down by then." She groaned "Then at least let me help you study. One of them is my exam after all," she pushed. "Baby I'm sorry but no. I really need to focus and I can't do that if your in here."

"Fine. I'll be out in the living room if you need me," she sulked, slowly walking out of the room.

I exhaled a long breath, throwing my head back into the pillows. She was giving me the most adorable puppy dog eyes ever, but I had to focus right? I mean it would be nice to have her help, but I'm not even on her subject yet. Still, I feel like shit that I pushed her aside like that.

Nat POV

That hurt. I was trying to be a loving girlfriend and help my baby relive some of her stress, but she didn't want that. I suppose I can't be too mad at her, this is really important for her graduation.

I'm not asking for much, I would just like a little attention. I've had no kisses or cuddles since last night and I am really craving them right now. She's so good at making me feel warm and that's all I want. It's kind of dramatic I know, but she did this to me. She's made me so dependent on her touch, love, just everything about her. I crave her.

Knowing I wouldn't be receiving any affection anytime soon, I opted to watch some criminal minds.

Y/N POV

I ate Nat's heavenly BLT pretty quickly and went straight back to studying. After what I figured to be 2 more hours, I decided I had finally had enough. I am physically and mentally exhausted.

All I needed right now was cuddles and kisses. I haven't given Nat any attention today and I felt horrible. She was being all cute and lovey dovey bringing me food, but I ignored her. Dumb dumb dumb.

I got out of bed and stretched my achy muscles, releasing a slight groan. Then, I took my plate and quietly made my way to the kitchen.

Nat was watching criminal minds, but she turned my way when she heard light footsteps coming down the stairs. A look of hope glimmered in her eyes and I smiled at her. She returned the gesture but pouted when she saw me walk towards the kitchen, thinking I was just going to put my plate up and leave to go study again.

I smirked to myself, making sure to take extra long to walk over to her. When I was in front of her, I sunk into her lap, hugging myself into her body. She sighed contently against my neck, wrapping her arms around my waist. "God I missed you," she hummed, placing a kiss on my cheek. "I know, me too." I replied. "I'm sorry for brushing you off. Please. Forgive. Me." I said in between kisses, making her smile against my lips. "You are forgiven my love, but never do that again," she said sternly. "I promise," I said, locking our pinky's together.

"And I would really appreciate it if you helped me study for your class," I smiled. "I would love to help you baby and lucky for you, I know just the right technique." I quirked a brow, "hmm really? Care to share?" She smirked "Nope, but just know, you'll like." What on earth could this woman have planned I thought.
