- All you have to do is answer the questions, all the answers are in this paragraph, do you understand...? - a sigh escapes your lips as you glance over your shoulder at Ellie, who was looking anywhere but at the book in front of you.
- Shit, Ellie! Are you listening to me or what? - You frowned your eyebrows and tugged her lightly on her shirt sleeve.
- Or what? - She smirked teasingly, stroking the back of your palm with her other hand.
- You have exams in two months, what are you thinking about?
- About you - the smirk on her face was getting a lot bigger from all your attempts to talk some sense into her and make her act serious, but this time you yourself couldn't hold back a shy smile and a slight blush in response to all her playful comments.
- I've been at practice all day, and all I want now is to rest and cuddle with my dear girlfriend..." Ellie's nimble hands pulled you closer to her by the cords of your hoodie and you rested your hands on her knees for support.
You felt her breath on your face and the warmth of her forehead leaning gently against yours.
Ellie smiled, sincerely this time, you could smell her peppermint gum and you could count all her freckles scattered across her nose and cheeks in that position. Her eyes gazed then into your own, then fell smoothly on your lips, the light from the table lamp reflected beautifully in them with a light gleam and made them look like bright emeralds.
You got a little dizzy from watching her facial features and pulled away a little, trying to bring yourself to your senses. The blush still pleasantly burned your face, Ellie looked up questioningly at the sudden loss of warmth nearby, but you didn't waste a second and stood up and pulled her by the arm into the bedroom.
Ellie smoothed her hair with her free hand and smiled wearily in your wake. After all, learning can wait - you thought to yourself, and you certainly can't let a moment like this pass you by.
