Emma cringed at herself when she heard the water squelch in her boots as she quickly padded down the hallways of college. The rain had done the blonde no favors with time, let alone her attire. She pushed through the double doors to the lecture hall that was English lit 101 with Ms Mills. All eyes landed on the blonde as she forced her way up the small steps and to her desired seat next her Ruby, a brunette who gave her a half hearted smile. Green eyes met brown and she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in when Ms Mills didn't look too mad that one of her students was ten minutes late to their first lecture back after summer. The blonde shoved her damp backpack under her seat after pulling out her pad and pen, looking back up Ms Mills decided to speak.

'Miss Swan, Is there a reason you're..' She trailed off as she glanced down at the small golden watch hugging her tanned wrist. 'Ten minutes late to my class?' Her rich voice filled the room and bounced off the walls until hitting the blonde's ears.

'I..Uh..' Emma stuttered, suddenly feeling vulnerable to all the eyes of her peers that were on her. She felt as though her cheeks where rising with a pinkish color and her palms becoming sweaty.

'I suggest you see me in my office once class had been dismissed' Ms Mills instructed to the blond who gave a tight nod before watching as the her professor begun to carry on with her lecture.

Ruby, Emma's best friend smirked at the blonde beside her knowing all to well why she was late to class. Emma never usually let her 'Personal affairs' affect her college life but she had begun slacking lately. She knew this wasn't the first time she showed up late to a lecture due to late night activities with one of many women she had picked up somewhere. Emma looked across to her friend when she felt an elbow nudge her arm softly. She caught her friends smirk and rolled her eyes.

'So, who was it this time?' Ruby kept her voice low, now wanting to distract the professor who was in the middle of a speech about something to do with William Shakespeare; Or so Ruby thought as her mind was too focused on the blonde.

'What? No one' Emma replied focusing her green eyes back to where Ms Mills was standing.

'Come on Em! You didn't come home last night you dirty sl-'

'Alright alright! Keep your voice down' Emma snapped quietly looking to her friend. 'Im in enough trouble as it is without you shouting out the real reason i was late to her class!'

'Like shes going to have a go, you're her favorite student' Ruby scoffed looking down to the brunette. 'You know, sometimes i wonder if she wants to fuck you'

'Jesus Ruby' Emma laughed quietly nodding her head at her friends open thoughts. 'I doubt it' Emma whispered back after a few seconds of pondering the thought her friend have her, both women's eyes on the brunette.

An hour passed quicker than Emma had thought it would as her peers where throwing their bags over their shoulders and heading out of the hall quicker than they entered. Emma sighed, pulling her bag over her shoulder and dragging herself down to the front of the room where Ms Mills sat at her desk looking as though she was reading over a paper one of the students left for her. Ruby walked by her friend giving her a small pat on the shoulder before giving a smirk to the blonde. Emma nodded her head and looked back to the woman who still hadn't acknowledged the blonde's presence. Shoving her hands into her pockets,Emma decided to make herself know gently giving a fake cough.

'Miss Swan, i said my office' Ms Mills said softly, before looking up to meet Emma's gaze.

'But you're not in your office are you' Emma said bluntly, pulling her shoulders in tighter.

Ms Mills raised and perfectly plucked eyebrow at the blonde before pushing back into her chair and pulling off the glasses that sat across the bridge of her nose. She glanced across the hall to the double doors to see who was still lurking before focusing her brown eye back to green.

'You have some explaining to do. This isn't the first time you've been late to a lecture Miss Swan'

Emma unconsciously slid her tongue out and over her bottom lip as she watched the woman speak to her, She shrugged.

'I know, I haven't been good with my time keeping' lately' Emma said. Really? Dude get your shit together.

'Yes I've noticed; And the reason for that?' Ms Mills asked crossing her leg over the over causing her dress to ride a little and show the blonde some skin. Ms Mills noticed the blonde's eyes snap down to her leg before quickly back to brown eyes.

Emma shrugged in response causing the woman to tense her jaw slightly and laugh.

'Miss Swan-'

'Emma'

'Miss Swan. We both know you have a reputation around here with the young female students; If sex is keeping you from arrive on time, i think you need to rearrange your schedule.' Ms Mills said leaning forward and leaning her elbows on the desk that was keeping the two women from each other.

Emma's cheeks burned red and her eye brows shot up to her hair line. 'What?!'

Ms Mills laughed a rich, sultry laugh before standing from her chair and walking around the desk, Emma stepping backwards slightly when the woman got closer.

'We all enjoy sex dear, But you're an adult now. Learn to keep it in your pants when you have a lecture early the next morning' Ms Mills said, her eyes burning into Emma's face. 'Be here on time. Are we clear?'

'Yes' Emma breathed, too shocked at the woman being so open about sex to give any other answer.

'Good. Ill see you tomorrow Miss Swan' Ms Mills smiled before turning and heading back to her chair, watching Emma spin on her heels and leave the room.

'You're fucking kidding me?!' Ruby practically screamed, jumping from the sofa in the apartment she shared with Emma.

'I kid you not. Like, she knew! How the fuck?' Emma asked grabbing a left over beer from the fridge and dropping down on the sofa.

'She wants to fuck you!' Ruby exclaimed pulling her legs under her.

'No she doesn't Ruby , i'd have sensed it by now' Emma scoffed pulling the cap from her beer and taking a sip.

'Em! She practically spoke to you about sex! You've got to flirt! Oh my god this is going to be so fun!' Ruby cheered, bounding on the sofa like a child at Christmas.

Emma laughed at how ridiculous her friend was being. She had never flirted with the brunette before in all the years she had been taking English lit and she never planned to. Not because she didn't find the woman attractive, but just because Emma knew the woman was in her thirties and way out of the blonde's league so she stuck with the girls her own age and the odd older at the bar she worked in. Emma always knew she fancied Ms Mills but she never thought she'd think of her in the light she did now.

'What are you thinking about? You gonna try fuck the Evil Queen? I know that look Em!' Ruby smirked.

'Oh piss off. I dont think anything like that' Emma laughed looking away from her friend. 'And dont call her the Evil Queen, shes really sweet'

'You only think that because she has a soft spot for you' Ruby moaned. 'I'd think the same if she wanted to fuck me'

'She doesn't want to sleep with me Rubes Jesus!' Emma moaned closing her eyes and biting her lips in frustration.

'Okay, lets at least think of a way to find out! You never know!' Ruby said seriously, her eyes brows raised.

Emma rolled her eyes saying the only thing she knew would shut her friend up.

'Fine. Now lets order dinner'
