Gaining Control

Chapter Two

One Week later (Monday Morning)

I awake to the sound of music and someone rushing around in the kitchen. The smell of coffee helps me to open your eyes. I start to get out of bed, lucky my eyes looked down at my naked body before I walked out of my room. I quickly throw on some shorts and a t-shirt before going down the corridor, leaning on the wall by the kitchen. I watch Natasha in full panic mode. Since meeting last week, we have been together all week, reading, talking, drinking and having the most amazing sex ever. I still feel a little sore from last night.

"Hey babe, calm down. What's wrong?" I slowly slide your hands around her waist, my head resting on her shoulder. She was pouring two cups of coffee while trying to eat a bowl of cereal at the same time.

"Hey sweetheart, I'm late, I need to run home to change and then get to work, honestly the first day and I'm a mess. I need to get going, I text you later, maybe we can meet for coffee and work out how this is gonna work now since we both must work and can't just relax all day" she quickly turns around and kisses me.

"Yeah babe, don't worry we can sort it out later, have a good day" I kiss her back as she runs out of my apartment. I pick up one of the cups of coffee trying to wake myself up more before facing the day. I head back into your room and jump into the shower, I need to be ready for my first day. Once out and dried, I straighten my hair, so it doesn't look like you just rolled out of bed. I decided to keep it basic clothing wise, black skinny jeans, t-shirt, hoodie and my air force ones.

I finally manage to find my bag with everything I need, just need to find my phone. Thank god I remembered to put it on charge last night, as I picked it up I saw the time, 8:45am. SHIT! My class started 15 minutes ago; I thought it was earlier.

I race out of your apartment, jump into my car, and start to make my way to college. It's only a 10-minute drive, I was planning on walking, but I have already missed 15 minutes of my first class so didn't want to miss anymore. As I finally pull into the student car park and straight into a space, I make your way quickly out of the car while pulling up my schedule on my phone. The first class is Russian in B5 with Professor Romanoff. I ran through the empty halls, everyone was already in class, I managed to stop outside of the door, quickly caught my breath, so I didn't go in fully out of breath and looking like a mess. I opened the door and slowly walked in, very quietly and there was an empty seat just inside and right at the back, so I quickly took that before anyone could say anything.

"Thank you for joining us Miss Davis, care to explain why you're late?" A harsh but similar voice came from the front of the room, I guess it was from the professor, but her back is facing me.

"I'm sorry Professor Romanoff, I got lost" thinking that was the best reason instead of sleeping and losing track of time with an incredibly sexy woman. She snaps her neck around and her body follows, her eyes find mine and widen, her month goes to drop but she holds it back so no one else in the class can see her reaction. I don't have the same control; my eyes bulge out of my head and my jaw is basically on the floor at this rate.

"Stay after class Miss Davis" her eyes didn't leave mine; her reply was cold and without emotion, I simply just nodded my head, not trusting myself to speak at this time, it was like all the air had disappeared from my lungs, I think the room might have been spinning too. She turned back around to the board, and carried on with the lesson, lucky with it being the first lesson I haven't missed much but still I was unable to focus or take anything in, my mind just racing, for the last week I have been sleeping with my professor.

My whole mind just zoned out, and stared into space, finally the bell rang and it pulled me back into the room. Everyone was packing up and leaving the room. I picked up my bag and slowly walked to the front of the room near her desk. I took a seat at the desk right in front of hers, not trusting my legs to hold me up during this. She was standing right in front of me with her arms crossed, if looks could kill I would be dead right now. I could hear the last few students leaving the room and with a soft thud the door closed behind the last student, leaving it just me and Natasha. God help me!

"You really have some explaining to do. Why didn't you tell me you were still in college? Like what the fuck are you playing at, we have been with each other hours on end for most of the last week and you never once thought to tell me the truth" the anger in her voice was present, I haven't heard her like this all week.

"I'm sorry, I was going to tell you but once you said you were 29, I didn't want you to feel like I was a child, everything else was true. I really like you and just wanted to impress you, I really wanted to make a good impression. But you didn't tell me that you're a college professor either, every time I asked about your job you danced around the subject like you didn't want to talk about it so this isn't fully on me either" my voice was cracking, I'm so scared, she looked like she could kill me right now. I tried to remember to breathe but even that was becoming harder.

She was about to open her mouth to probably yell at me some more, but she stopped as the door to her room was thrown wide open as someone else came into the room.

"I hate the new school year, you should see the first class. Most of them didn't even bring a pen, who doesn't bring a pen to college, they're supposed to be adults...Nat, are you ok? You look like you're about to kill someone" she starts moaning but as she moved down the stairs to the front of the room, she became concerned for Natasha. I finally turned your head around to see Wanda, her mouth drops open as she sees me.

"Natasha what the fuck? You've been sleeping with a student?" she walks closer to you both to hopefully protect you from when Natasha snaps.

"I didn't know, she never told me she was a college student, she said that she just moved here for work, and I didn't really tell her that I'm a college professor, I didn't want to seem too stuck up" Natasha calmly replies, I'm shocked at how calm she suddenly is. Wanda looks from her back to me and slowly exhales.

"Right so you're both as bad as each other, this isn't the time or place to have this conversation. Neither of you have realised that anyone can walk in and hear this and you both have other classes soon, so here's what we are going to do. Lucy, you go to your next class, you don't tell anyone about this and carry on your day as normal. Natasha, pull your shit together, your next class will be here in 5 minutes. Both of you will come to Page's at around 5pm, me and Maria will be there to keep the peace, will be talk like adults about this and work this shit out between all of us, if you bump into each other during the rest of the day just behave" Wanda is now standing in the middle of both me and Natasha, her voice was loud but she wasn't yelling, I could feel the power coming from her. Mentally reminding myself to never cross her either.

I stood up from my chair that I've been glued to since this start and picked up my bag, breathing deeply before I forget too.

"Ok I can agree to that, I'll see you both later" I start making your way back up the stairs and out of the room without a look back, wanting to be anywhere but in there anymore. I need to calm down, I need fresh air, I can't let my emotions get too much, I need to keep everything in control.

I quickly make my way down the corridor, it's busier than earlier but still most people are already in their second class now. I see a toilet to my right and dart in praying that no one else is in there. Lucky for me it's empty and the door is lockable, after securing the door, my bag drops to the ground, my fists hold onto the sink while I really try to count my breaths. My eyes slowly look up at my reflection in the mirror right in front of me. I can see the hint of green in my eyes. I quickly start to empty my bag on the ground looking for something. Getting worried I punch the ground while looking, finally I see the bracelet, it's a quite thick gold bangle, slipping it onto my right wrist, I'm finally able to take in some deep breaths, getting up off the floor and looking back into the mirror the green is gone, replaced by all brown. Spending the next 10 minutes just calming down still, splashing some cold water on my face and repacking everything back into my bag. I moved one of the cones in the corner of the bathroom to cover the hole in the floor, whatever, no one will know it was me. Right now, just get out of here and go home. Unlocking the bathroom and making my way back down the corridor to the student car park. Quickly pulling out and back onto the road home. I just really need my bed right now.
