Professor Hiddleston

Coming Together

Its two days past vacation and theyre back to work. Its close to thanksgiving. Tom and Cassy are going over literature  by Indigenous people. Rather than celebrating the fascade celebrated by Americans. They decide to honor the Indigenous people.

"So today we are going to discuss famous works done by Indigenous people. They are many great works in literature written by them....some you may not even know are Indigenous." Cassy says standing in front of the class as Tom brings up works on ghe projector. Cassy notices some of the students staring at her. Particularly her hand. Her left one to be precise. Its well known now of their relationship. No one really talks about it because they keep their private life private.

"Can anyone here name an Indigenous literature author?" She asks. Cassy un buttons her suit jacket. Shes wearing a womens business suit because she has an interview today to become a second literature teacher to offer different class schedules for students. So shes dressed to impress.

"Miss H, i heard you may or may not be teaching with Mister Hiddleston anymore." Sarah says. The whole class gets kind of quiet. Lingering talking.

"Well....its a possibility....but...i may have a class of my own. Right across the hall. Its to provide more availability for other students who are say...doctors...mothers...people who cant particularly come during these hours that Mister Hiddleston has." She says.

"Is there going to be another assistant teacher?" She asks.

"As far as im aware they dont plan on putting another student teacher." Tom says to Sarah.

"Now...lets get back to the lesson..." Cassy says as she takes a step away from in front of the projector. Cassy continues on with the lesson. Tom sitting back. Watching her. He wont lie. If she gets this job he will miss her. Even with her across the hall. As Cassy talks she plays with the charm on her necklace. Today goes by fast. Before they know it the bell rings. Cassy looks up.

"Alright, well we will discuss more tomorrow." She says putting the papers down. Everyone gets up and begins leaving. Cassy walks to her laptop and checks her emails.

"Oh boy, looks like Chance has a earlier time to get me in....i guess i gotta go now..." she says nervously. Tom stands up and walks over. Seeing how nervous she is.

"Youve got this darling." He says as he kisses the top of her head.

"Im so nervous....its like in the pit of mt stomach." She says laying her head down.

"Does your stomach hurt?" He asks.

"A little." She says.

"Here, eat something." He says handing her some chex mix he has. Cassy eats some of it.

"Alright....ill be back." She says standing up. They kiss and she heads out. Tom sits in her chair and begins playing music on her laptop. When he does he sees she has the internet open. Wedding ideas and what not. Tom chuckles. He decides not to pry. She is probably going to show him later. Tom grabs a book and sits back. Listening to the music and reading. A few minutes later. More like 40 minutes later she comes back. Tom looks up. He sees her a little distraught.

"Whats wrong?" He asks. Sitting up quickly.

"Theyre firing me....saying our relationship is inappropriate." She says upset. Tom jumps up angrily.

"What?!" He says pissed.

"Im just kidding, they want me to start after this semester ends." She says laughing.

"Oh you brat!" He says sighing.

"Thought you liked that about me?" She says laughing.

"In certain situations." He says as he chuckles. Tom walks over and wraps his arms around her. Cassy laying her hands on his chest.
