A week went by. You were thoroughly enjoying your new history class, professor Barnes brought a different quality to teaching than Steve did, you couldn’t quite put your finger on it but you liked it. He made things simpler to understand and involved everyone in the class, students left with a smile on their faces.

Nat was keeping you updated on Steve, you didn’t ask her to, she came home last Tuesday and told you Steve couldn’t stop staring at your empty seat most of the lesson.

“He’s absolutely miserable, I don’t even think he wants to be with Miss Carter, I think he’s with her because he’s not with you.. like she’s some kind of seat filler at an awards show” Nat said as you both sat on your sofa, watching Greys Anatomy “like he’s waiting for you to come back or something”

“Well, I’m not coming back” you say, your mouth full of pizza.

“Yeah.. He has no idea what he’s missing” Nat says laughing.

After you had finished watching your shows, you went upstairs to finish your homework. You quickly check your emails and surprisingly you have one from professor Barnes.

Y/N.

Can you please meet me in my office before school, I have something important to discuss with you.

Thank you.
Professor Barnes.

This isn’t the first time Professor Barnes has asked you to meet him before school, the last time was about your paper and you’d be lying if you said you didn’t flirt with him.

He was one of Steve’s closest friends besides Mr Wilson, the wrestling coach, at school and you thought if you made it a little obvious than usual that you were flirting with him, professor Barnes might bring it up in conversation whilst talking to Steve. Yes, you were being that girl but you didn’t care, he hurt you and you wanted him to feel the heart wrenching feeling that you did when you saw him kissing Miss Carter.

The next day you arrive at school earlier than usual and make your way too professor Barnes’ office, you had your head in your phone texting Nat as you turned the corner. You met a big broad chest and you fall flat on your ass, dropping your phone on the process.

“Geez, watch it will ya” you say getting to your feet.

You turn to see Steve, holding your phone and reading the text you had just sent Nat about professor Barnes in a not so innocent way.

“Can I have that back please?”

“Sorry” Steve clears his throat, handing you your phone, looking slightly hurt at them contents he saw.

“Excuse me” you begin to walk past Steve.

“So are you making a habit out of sleeping with all your professors or just me and James?”

You stop in your tracks and turn to look at Steve, what he said hurt you and you were going to make sure he felt bad about it.

“Wow” you whisper with tears brimming your eyes “nice, way to be a jerk, Steve” you turn and continue walking towards professor Barnes’ office

“Y/N, wait!” you hear Steve behind you but you ignore him.

You reach professor Barnes’ office and knock a few times before you hear him telling you to come in.
As you open the door you see professor Barnes behind his desk and upon opening the door further you see dean Stark.

“Miss Y/L/N, come in, take a seat” professor Barnes says.
You walk in with a confused look on your face and take a seat next to dean Stark.

“Um, what’s going on? Am I in trouble?”

“No, no” professor Barnes laughs “dean Stark is here to help me tell you some good news actually”

“Oh”

“Your paper on the American Civil War, it’s going to be published in the local newspaper”

“What? You cannot be serious?”

“Only if you’re okay with it” dean Stark says.

“Yes! Oh my god, yes!”

“Great!” Dean Stark says getting up and walking towards the door and opening it “I’ll call the paper and let them know” he says before he exits.

Professor Barnes stands up and walks around his desk “I’m very happy that this is happening for you, Y/N”

“This is so exciting” you say before hugging professor Barnes

You hear a cough and you pull away from professor Barnes to see Steve at the door.

“Uh, Y/N here has just found out her paper on the American Civil War is going to be published in the local paper”

“Oh, wow, that’s great” he looks at you.

“Anyway, I better go” you walk out of professor Barnes’ office stopping at the doorway “thank you, professor” you say without looking up or acknowledging who you’re referring to.

The rest of your day flew by. Professor Barnes told the rest of your class about your news and they all congratulated you.

On your way out of the school you receive a text message, you look at your phone to see its from Steve.

S: Can we please talk?
Y: About what?
S: About us, about everything.
Y: There is no more ‘us’, Steve.
S: Can there ever be an ‘us’ again?
Y: I don’t know, maybe.. I gotta go.
S: That’s all I needed to know :)

You begin to walk home when it starts to rain ’oh come on! It’s summer’ you say to yourself  rushing home a little faster.
When you get home you begin to take all your wet clothes off as soon as you close the door, soon you’re only standing in your underwear.

There’s suddenly a knock on your door and without thinking you open it.

“Professor Barnes”

“Miss Y/L/N” he says eyes widened looking at your body.

“Oh shit” you quickly cover yourself with the throw rug over your sofa “uh, what, what can I help you with?” You ask sheepishly holding the blanket tightly around your body.

“I, uh” he clears his throat “I brought you this” he hands you a small cake “to congratulate you on the newspaper thing”

“Oh, thank you” you try to take the cake but can’t otherwise the blanket covering your body would fall “could you bring it in and sit it in the kitchen?”

“Oh, sure”

He walks in, closing the door and follows you to your kitchen, sitting the cake on the bench.

“Thank you, professor Barnes. Would you like a slice?”

“Call me James, and maybe a small slice” he smiles.

After about an hour James was about to leave, you were still only in your underwear, covering yourself with a blanket.

“Thanks again for the cake, my roommate will enjoy it too” you smile.

“Not a problem”

You and James stand in silence by your front door for a moment and before you know it, his lips are on yours and his arms are wrapped around your waist, you lean into the kiss slightly but pull away quickly.

“I’m, I’m sorry, I can’t” you step back.

“No, don’t apologise, I was in the wrong, I’m your teacher and I shouldn’t of kissed you”

After James leaves you go upstairs to take a shower and change into some warm clothes.

You knew why you couldn’t kiss him or go any further, you just didn’t want to admit that you still had feelings for Steve, especially after what he did to you.

Once out of the shower, you check your phone and you have a missed call from Nat and a text message that follows telling you she’s staying at Clint’s tonight and she’ll see you tomorrow at school, things between them are getting really serious and you know Clint’s going to ask Nat to move in with him soon.

You went downstairs to pour yourself a glass of wine or 2.
You don’t know if it was the liquid courage or the fact that you have been thinking about him but you sent Steve a text.

Y: Are you busy?
S: No, just at home watching the game.
Y: Is she with you?
S: Yes.
Y: Do you love her?
S: No.
Y: Steve..
S: I’m on my way.

You pour yourself another glass of wine and by the time you finish it, Steve is knocking on front your door.
Your lips collide as soon as you open the door.
Steve picks you up and you wrap your legs around his waist, he carries you upstairs to your bedroom, kicking his shoes off before placing you on your bed and hovering over you, his lips never leaving yours.

You moan into his mouth as he bucks his hips into yours, feeling his arousal for you.

“Fuck, Steve. I need you, please” you beg.

Steve wastes no time removing his navy blue jacket, plain white tee, jeans and briefs as you take your singlet and shorts off, leaving you completely naked.

He aligns himself up at your entrance and slowly sinks into you.

“Fuck! You’re so tight”

Steve’s thrusts start off slow, he soon picks up pace and he wraps your legs around him to get a better angle, going deeper, making you scream his name.

“I’m so close, Steve” you moan scratching your nails down his back.

Steve thrusts are hard and fast as he pants that he’s close too, you feel your walls begin to tighten and you arch your back as your climax hits you harder than it has before.
Steve comes seconds after you, spilling himself inside you.

“What did you tell her?” You asked Steve, who laid next to you, both of you still naked and your fingers intertwined with each other.

“What do you mean?”

“When you left to come here, what did you tell her?”

“That a friend needed me” he answered truthfully.

“Did you just leave her at your house or something?” You chuckle softly

“No” he laughed “she went home” he rolled to his side to face you “let’s not talk about her, okay?”

You nod before Steve’s lips connect with yours, his hand roams your naked body, it finally lands on your pussy and Steve’s begins rubbing your clit hard and fast, you moan loudly at his touch.

His gaze never leaving yours, watching you as you come undone in front of him just from his fingers.
You breathe heavily, coming down from your orgasm as Steve kisses and sucks on your neck, not caring about leaving any marks.

The next day you woke up to a note from Steve.

Y/N.

I had to leave early to shower and get ready for work, I made you chocolate chip pancakes, they’re in the microwave.

I’ll see you later and we’ll talk properly.

- SR

You smile at his note before getting up. You put some clothes on and make your way downstairs.
You open the microwave and as promised, there’s chocolate chip pancakes.

After you finish eating you decide to have a quick shower to wash the smell of sex away and quickly get dressed before heading to school.

Walking through the facility parking lot like you do everyday you hear a car and quickly jump out of the way as the driver almost hit you.

You’re not surprised when Miss Carter steps out of the car, ’great’ you think to yourself as you wait for her to apologise for almost hitting you but she doesn’t. You roll your eyes and begin to walk off ’of course that bitch wouldn’t apologise’ you think as you make your way to class.

A hand grabs your elbow and you turn to see her, smiling and acting all sweet.

“Sorry about that, not having a great morning”

“That’s okay, I’ve been there” you smile and begin to walk off to your first class.

“Have you?” she asked walking up beside you “see, last night I was at my boyfriends, Professor Rogers, you know him, right?”

“Uh, yeah” you nod.

“Anyway, he tells me that he needs to go help a friend but he was acting really weird so, I decided to follow him”

You stop still and swallow the lump forming in your throat, Miss Carter stops with you and looks you directly in the eyes.

“I followed him to his ‘friends’ house and to my surprise it’s a former student of his that answers the door, you.. and before it closes I see you two kissing, now I waited but he didn’t come back out and that plus the obvious hickey’s on your neck, only means one thing, he stayed the night and you’re a dirty little tramp”

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me, now you either tell me the truth as to what’s going on between you and Steve by the end of the day or I’m going to Dean Stark tomorrow morning and telling him everything, your choice” she says walking away.

You stand there in shock, not sure what to do, while you walk to your first class you text Steve and tell him exactly what just happened between you and Miss Carter.

Just before you enter the classroom you receive a text message back from Steve.

“Don’t worry, I’ll fix this”
