School break was up and they had to wake up earlier than usual. Kate as usual had her grumpy fit when Thomas had tried to wake her up. Why was it so awfully hard to wake this little brat? he thought to himself, maybe that’s why she’s so peppy for the rest of the day he concluded.
“Five more minutes~” she pleaded with him.
“That’s what you said ten minutes ago.” He spanked her and she yelped “Eek!” and buried her head deeper in her pillow.
“Wake up before I deduct your marks when you eventually arrive late in class.” She was squirming even more before stopping to finally sit up and look at him.
“Fine~ Daddd~” she made a whiny sound and rubbed her eyes, he patted her hair and kissed her forehead
“Good girl. Now join me for a bath.” she smirked
“Okayy Daddy~~” she wiggled her eyebrows and got up before something strong pulled her back to bed with him
“Keep that up and we’ll both miss school.” he scolded her
“But you’d like that wouldn’t you.” She teased further and bit her lip provocatively
“That’s it, get in the shower now!” he growled and practically dragged a squealing but very wet Kate into the bathroom.

Addison, Kate and Ethan went to the café to get their usual coffee and breakfast.
“Oh my gosh, you will not believe what I saw the other day!” Addi started her morning rambles as we went in the café.
As soon as they stepped in, everyone was whispering under their breaths, “Oh-em-gee isn’t that Kate?” “I heard she’s dating Professor Hunt.” “Oh my god, did you know that she slept with the Professor to get privileges?” “Really??? wow what a slut.”
Blushing under everyone’s gaze and biting back tears, Kate hurried to the counter to make her order.
“Kate, are you okay?” Ethan looked concerned as everyone was still speaking in hushed whispers about her.
“I’m fine, this will go away soon enough.” Her voice cracked slightly, Ethan nodded and Addi smiled sadly at her.

Kate arrived late to Thomas’s class like he had predicted.
“Miss Anderson, so nice of you to finally join us.” he made a remark as she went to her seat.
But she didn’t talk back this time, nor did she even flash him her usual glare. She just nodded sullenly and sat down quietly.
He, of course immediately knew something was wrong, and he made a mental note to make sure she was okay after class.
After the class, Thomas had asked to see her.
“Won’t people get suspicious and stuff?” Kate stated worriedly, she wasn’t going to let herself be bothered with people’s gossip, but she didn’t want to give people a reason to have something to gossip about them anyways.
“They already know about our relationship and besides, I don’t care about what they say.” He lifted his hand to stroke her cheek. She bit her lip and nodded.
“But you look bothered, come to my office, let me help.” He offered as he put the last of his things into his briefcase.
“It’s fine, I don’t want to worry you or anything.” She tried to not make a big deal about it. Although, she found it really sweet that he cared.
“Nonsense. You are clearly on edge about something and I want to help.” he held her hand in his.
“Come.” they both walked to their office which was not that far from class.
-
“Have a seat.” He offered a chair for her and sat on his own large plush office chair.
“Thank you Thomas.”
“What wrong Kate? You’ve been distracted throughout my class and I want to help.” He asked, voice soft and with genuine concern.
“I just… worry about what other people keep saying you know, that I-“ she shuddered before continuing, “-slept with you to get my grades bumped.”
She was shocked as he suddenly slammed his fists on the table.
“Who said that.” His face was turning red, how fucking dare they he thought.
“I mean… kids on campus have been throwing it around an-and-.” Her voice suddenly cracking, lower and more timid than before.
“Kate, do not listen to them. We both know that it isn’t true and the people who spout this nonsense are ignorant fools that have nothing to do with their lives.”
She couldn’t control herself now, tears were spilling before she had a chance to wipe them away.
“No no no I’m sorry… don’t cry…” Thomas made his way over to her and pulled her into his embrace.
“No…*sniff* I’m sorry… I’m just so…insecure...” His heart broke as he held her in his arms and brought his hands up to cup her face.
“You shouldn’t be my dear.” He kissed her softly, good god, he would steal a million stars for her if it were to make her happy.
“But I am… I shouldn’t let these things get to me but they always do.” She was now crying louder and hugging him tightly as if her life had depended on it.
“It’s not your fault love.” He wiped a tear from her cheek and kissed her tenderly again.
“Tell me, what can I do to make you feel better?” His eyes were searching hers.
“Show me you love me Thomas.” Her eyes met his, his name falling out of her lips like a desperate plea and they both knew what was to come as their lips came crashing to each other.
