Robin's POV

When will the torture end? Seriously, I am so bored during exam periods, like you have idea. I have always been cool about school and grades, I always got good marks, but I never wanted to be the best, like Sophie. I know I have studied, so I am confident I will do good, and even if I don't, there's always next time, it's not the end of the world.

I check my phone again and look at the time. It's getting late, but Sophie is due to be here in 10 minutes for our studying session/make out session. Kidding, Sophie is all work and no play, so it's just studying session. But that's ok.

She still hasn't talked to her mom, and if I am being honest, I am starting to get pissed. Sophie doesn't need that kind of treatment. If Rebecca doesn't wanna call her, a text would be damn fine. It's unacceptable.

If Sophie and I, ever have our own family, I don't think I could ever be so indifferent as to what my kid feels. I would probably be the overprotected mom, and smother them with kisses and stuff them with food and presents all the time. I would never not answer their phone calls or be cold to them when they need me, and I am sure neither would Sophie.

I have been thinking a lot about it. A joined future, I mean. A big house and a shiny car, I would be working on a youth center, and Soph would be a famous lawyer that would win court case after court case, and maybe when we are ready, we would have mini Sophies running around the house. Can you imagine that? A green-eyed little devil, with brown curls, and curious eyes... and then maybe a blonde little monster, with Sophie's eyes and my attitude. Boy, she would be a tough cookie. I could dress her up with leather jackets while my other little angel would be dressed like Sophie, and maybe Alex and Kira finally will have a kid of their own, and our kids can grow up together. And then with Sam and Nicky's kids, and Joss' kids, Vanessa's kids, Alice's kids... boy, we would have a playground! That would be fucking awesome. I can't wait for this future!

I know it's very early for me to make this kind of plans, but I can't help it, you know... it's easy with her. She lies next to me, holding my hand, and all I daydream about is her in a white lace dress and flowers in her head, wearing my mother's ring.

I never thought of this kind of future with Natalie. She never made me look forward to having a family with her, but Sophie does.

Sophie is my future. I can't wait to go through college, law school, and postgraduate with her. I would follow her everywhere, and I only hope she would too.

The doorbell rings and smiling I run to the front door, ready to greet my beautiful girlfriend. And there she is, wearing her glasses, books in hand, denim shorts and a black loose t-shirt that looks familiarly mine. Ha! I was wondering where it was!

"Principessa, do come in!" I bow to her and chuckling she enters my house.

"Dork. Come here." She stretches for a kiss and then she walks towards my room, with me trailing behind her. She enters my room, drops her books on my desk and jumps in my bed, and after a come hither motion I jump on my bed, next to her at first, but she grabs my waist and pulls me on top of her. I guess there's gonna be a make out session, after all!

She doesn't say anything to me, she just cups both my cheeks and brings my face to hers. She licks my bottom lips, which she knows that drives me crazy and then, as I feel her hands sneak on my ass, she stuffs her tongue in my mouth, taking me by surprise, so I can't really fight the moan that escaped my mouth.

"Someone's eager, huh?" She whispers and bites my lip, drawing blood.

"I can't help it, baby, I've missed you." We haven't had sex in a few days, due to studying you see, but have no worries. Thank god for little Robin time, or else I would have burst. It amuses me how Sophie can deal with the separation... like seriously, if I had years of celibacy and then had sex 4 times a week for 4 months, I wouldn't be able to last a week without it.

"I have missed you too." Oh really? Hmmm. No study session, then. Perfect! "But we need to study." I spoke too soon. I puff and of course she giggles, so I get off her grumpily and sit on the edge of the bed pouting. I feel her moving behind me till her head nuzzles on my neck and her hands grab mine. "I promise later, ok? We just need to focus right now, but once we are done, I am all yours. How does that sound?"

I giggle and nod my head. "Sounds perfect, baby. I might even let you be on top first." I joke and she bites my earlobe playfully.

"Ok, now grab these books and come back to me. Chop chop!" she smacks my ass and jolts of pleasure reach my core. Da fuck! I drag myself to the desk and after taking everything we need, I join her again on the bed. She takes her book, which weighs a ton, kisses me and then opens it and starts reading, so I start reading too.

Only that, my eyes start stinging again, and water. I rub them a few times and try to focus again, but to no avail.

"Hey, babe, can I use your glasses again?" I turn to her having my puppy eyes on.

She narrows her eyes for seconds and then takes off the glasses and hands them over. "This is the millionth time I'll tell you to go see a doctor!" she crosses her arms on her chest.

"My eyes are fine!" I put them on and kiss her. "Thanks baby, love you." And with that, I return to my book.

"This is the last time." She states seriously. "Just because I love you doesn't mean I will have to give you my stuff all the time. I expect payback." She sticks her tongue out.

"You are wearing my t-shirt!" I point at her.

"I found it in my bag, so finders keepers." She jokes.

"Whatever, thief. Go back to your book." I turn the page and reassume reading, till I get bored again, 30 minutes in. Then I let my mind daydream again. I raise my head and steal glances of Sophie, being concentrated on her book, biting her lips as she reads it.

This time my mind doesn't go very far away into the future. Only 7 years ahead. We are in England, because Sophie is having her postgraduate in Oxford, so we have rented a small apartment near her school. We are in our bed, with her lying with her back against my front, so that we are warm enough due to the chilly weather, and we are reading a book together. The view from the window is impeccable but the raindrops that are scattered across the window glass are blurring it. We sit in silence as she turns page after page, but I only watch her and her calm features, and of course her ring on her finger and then the ring on my finger too. We are not married yet, but we will be soon.

"You have been on the same page for minutes." Her voice brings me back from my daydream.

"Hmm?" I look at her adoringly and she chuckles.

"You are clearly not studying. What's on your mind?" she takes my hand in hers.

"You." She lowers her head shyly. "Always you. Us." I can tell her waiting for me to tell her more but I shouldn't scare her with all the future talk, so a white lie won't hurt. "I was thinking about our summer. Have you talked to your dad about it?" There's no point asking about her mom.

"Yes, I did last night. We texted and I told him about our plans. He says we should definitely go. He also said hi." She smiles brightly. Nicolas being supportive is what keeps her going. Thank god. I don't want to think of what ifs. "We talked about you for a while last night. I hope you don't mind." She asks afterwards.

"What? No, of course I don't! What did you say?" I ask intrigued.

"I told him how we met and how we got together." She replies. "He also scolded me for not telling him earlier and the fact that I brought you home while you were my secret girlfriend came up too. I reassured him you slept on the guest room." She says and her ears redden.

"Oh god. That must have been awkward. Poor babe." I laugh and she groans.

"You have no idea. He thinks you are great, you know." she leans her head on my shoulder. "You got him and Ben of course under you spell." She commands, but then her face saddens. "Mom found you great too when she met you the first time." She gets quiet and caresses my palm. "It's gonna work out, right?" she asks, unconfident all of the sudden.

"I am sure of it, baby. Think of the awful things that could have happened but didn't. This is a good case. Trust me, I heard a lot of terrible things. Things will be more than ok, you just need to be patient." I hope this is reassuring.

"You are right. Things will be ok." She nuzzles closer to me and after a 10 minute break, she goes back to her book and I go back to daydreaming.

******************************************************

"Hey, can you give me the yellow marker?" I stretch my hand and wait for Sophie to give my yellow marker back. We have been studying since 5 and we still haven't had a break. I am reading my book on my bed while Soph is sitting on my desk, looking regal, and hot as fuck.

"Yeah, just a second." She underlines something on her book, a huge one, and then she hands the marker over.

"How is it going, babe?" I ask since she hasn't complained about it yet. Apparently it's an easy exam.

"I am acing this thing for sure." She says and winks at me. I smile feeling proud of her as well, since she is not so anxious about exams this semester. Seeing her fret last semester broke my heart.

I expected her to be overstressed with the family thing on top of everything, but no, she is less of a mess lately, and I couldn't be happier. Thank god, she is calm.

"What about you?" she asks a few seconds later, after she has stopped reading her book, and pays attention to me.

"I am acing this too. I am cool, you know I don't get anxious over this." I say and she chuckles.

"If only I shared your indifference." She jokes and I throw the marker at her.

"Hey, I am not indifferent, thank you very much. I care, but not to the point I go crazy over it." she eye rolls and closes her book. She gets off the chair and approaches the bed. I move aside and pat the empty spot next to me, for her to sit on, but she giggles and straddles me instead. That's interesting.

"Let me rephrase that. I wish I was as cool as you are with everything academic. I wish I wouldn't freak out and lose it when exams start. That good enough for you?" She raises her eyebrow and sneaks her hands under my t-shirt. The goosebumps come next as it was predicted.

"Hmmm, that's pretty decent. Although I feel a bit offended." I place my hand my above my heart, feigning hurt.

"Well, I am sorry. Forgive my wording." She leans in for a kiss that takes my breath away as usual. She keeps kissing me sweetly and dragging her nails on my stomach, while I massage her thighs, sneaking my hands higher from time to time.

She doesn't let the make out session get out of hand, as she stops and cups my cheeks. "How come you are always cool about the future?" She asks frowning. "It terrifies me. I can't think about it as calmly as you do." She leans forward again but this time she nuzzles her head on my neck and I hug her tight.

Now that I think about it, this is the first time we talk about the future. I mean I know she wants to do her masters in England, she told me the first time we went out for coffee, but apart from that, future talks are limited. We do talk about the past, mostly, so now I don't know how to answer. I cannot tell her about her being in my distant future yet. I would scare her off for sure, and I would sound like a clingy girlfriend, that's ready to call U-haul. Hmmm....

"Well, I have a plan in my head, and if everything goes well, I will end up a very happy person. If not, well, there are always alternatives, other things I could do. Nothing is written in stone. You never know." I explain as I caress her back.

"What plan?" She asks innocently, her voice almost a whisper.

"Well, I want to work at the youth center, I wanna help kids in need, maybe rehabilitation counseling, I am not sure yet about that, I just know I want to help my community." She kisses my neck.

"And... what about other stuff?" I can tell she wants to ask about a certain thing, but doesn't know how.

"I see myself, here, at my parents' house. Alex would be with Kira, married with kids, I see myself surrounded with people that I love and love me back." I say diplomatically. "Do you wanna be one of these people?" The reason I ask is because I don't want to freak her out by making a statement, so instead I make it a question. It sounds better than 'I see myself married to you and with 2 kids running around my parents' house'.

She takes a minute to answer, while my heart is about to break from the anticipation. If she says yes, then it stops being silly future talk in my head and becomes a future plan. It gets serious. We mutually agree to build a future together.

"I... I do, if you want me to." She mumbles and nuzzles closer to me, shy as heck. My heart is about to burst out of joy! This is serious; this is serious talk right now, not vague things on air. She wants to be in my future.

"More than anything. I really want you in my future." I stare at the ceiling, shy as well. "I know we can't know what the future holds for everyone, and a million things can go different ways, but right now, I am telling you, that I want you in my life for what comes next. I don't want to scare you off and pressure you, though." I say next and I hear her sigh.

"I know... When we were looking after Ben, I thought about the future for a while, you me and my brother in a kitchen making food... or I do plan on spending my summer with you... but I can't really think years ahead...I am sorry" she apologizes, and her body stiffens.

"Don't be, that's ok. It's just how my mind works." I try to make her feel better. I don't feel disappointed nor turned down by her words.

"I know... it's just... like you said... we can't know what will happen. I just don't want to let myself dream and then not have it that way." 'What if we break up' she means and I understand what she feels completely, I would be reluctant too but I dream with Sophie... it's like she started this and I can't stop thinking of a future with her, she loves me and I love her and I want to love her forever.

I don't want to think about breaking up with her or her not being mine. I understand why she is reluctant about the future, our future, and I would be too, but I am a dreamer by nature, even if everything burns. I planned ahead with Nat too, but not that far with her. Only holidays and birthdays, small things, like 'this summer I wanna take you hiking' or 'let's go to NY for Christmas'. She was the one to make big plans for us, not me. I was like Sophie at that time, hesitant about the future with her, but that never stopped Nat from planning her version of a future without asking me.

So, I won't do the same with Soph. I can't tell her the future in my head without her being ready to be a part of it. I won't be Natalie.

"I understand, baby, there's no pressure. It's not like I think about it often myself. Just moments like this, when we sit in silence, so don't worry. My future planning goes like a few months ahead like yours, like next spring break and stuff, or come September." I lie bluntly. You can't tell her that you already imagine how your wedding day and your two kids look like.

"Thank you." She kisses my jaw and rests her head on my shoulder.

"Wanna dance?" I ask her out of nowhere and she looks at me.

"What?" she chortles.

"Yeah, let's dance. Get off me, your highness." She eye rolls, but gets up nonetheless. I get up as well, and reach for my PC.

"I hope you put something not so lame. I warn you." She raises her finger at me.

"Relax, I got this." I find the song she will surely like and press play. The melody fills the room and I see her eyes sparkle when she hears the song.

"Sinatra, huh?" I approach her, and bring my hands around her waist, as she brings hers around my neck.

"I knew you would like it." I bring our foreheads together and start slow dancing to 'Somethin' stupid'.

Sophie's head rests on my shoulder and I breathe her in, feeling the luckiest person on earth.

"I love this song." She murmurs.

"I know. I love it too. I love dancing with you too." I whisper back closing my eyes. The song ends quickly, but we don't part, as 'Dance me to the end of love' by The Civil War comes next. It's a song we both love, so it went on the list.

Another song that we both love is 'Carousels' by Beirut. We dance to it, joking around as I spin her around multiple times and she does too. This made us giggle like 5 year olds. The song lightened the mood from the previous two ones so now the atmosphere went back to normal and less lovey dovey.

But, then 'Crazy in Love' by Kadebostany follows up. It's a slow song, provocative and sexy, so I spin Sophie around and I bring her back against my front. Our hips move to the rhythm in sync as I have my head rested on her shoulder and my hands start to wander on her stomach, scratching her skin lightly. She sings along and I am mesmerized by her. She is so sexy right now, and I bet she doesn't even know. I get flustered by our movements and I close my eyes as my mind goes places. Soon this song ends too and knowing what song comes next and I prepare myself for it.

'Desire' by Meg Myers. You can't get a more straightforward song than that. Seriously.

I feel Sophie gulp as I trail my fingers on her stomach and circle her belly button. I kiss her neck hungrily, while my hands grab her hips and pull her closer to my front, as the song progresses.

"Baby, I wanna fuck you." I whisper to her, along with the singer and to make her even more worked up, I lick around her pulse point. She instantly grabs my hands on her hips and her head falls back, giving me the space I need to work on my magic.

The chorus comes and goes by, as we both move to the beat but not in sync anymore. Neither of us cares about it. I am so hot right now and I can tell Sophie is too, so I get ready for the last act. I sneak my hand on the waistband of her trousers, and then quickly my hand moves under her pants and underwear.

She moans at the contact, making me moan too. I start lightly to grid on her ass as I dip my hand lower. My thump grazes her clit and my index parts her soft lips, getting coated in seconds.

"Boy, I wanna taste you; I wanna skin you with my tongue." I sing next as I retrieve my hand from her center and bring it to my mouth.

I don't get to do anything as Sophie spins around and clashes our mouths together and tangles her hand on my hair, pulling me closer to her. My hands are not gentle either, as they grab her ass with force.

It doesn't take long for us to fall in my bed with Sophie on top of me, hungry and desperate.

"I don't like that song" Sophie comments. She is resting her head on my stomach, tired from our activities. Sophie 4- Robin 3, and it's only 21:00. I play with her hair as we listen to my list on Spotify.

"What's wrong with Placebo?" I mock her, knowing well she hates these songs.

"I would prefer something else." She plants a kiss above my belly button.

"Fine, ok, get up and turn it off, and then bring me our phones, please." I nag her off me and she gets up, groaning. I on the other hand gulp, as her magnificent naked form walks to my desk and leans on it, turning my pc off. She grabs my phone and hers next and walks to me again, lying between my legs, resting her head on my stomach again.

"Now what?" she asks as I take both of the devices in my hands. I put her password (9876) and go to her music file. I unlock my phone as well and go to my music too, but I create a new file, naming it OURS.

"Now I go through your songs and mine and we will create a file in both our phones with songs we both love." I explain and she looks up at me, smiling.

"Ok, let's see." I begin with my list, putting song after song so that she can choose which ones she likes. Out of the 678 songs I have, she only chose 156. I am lucky like that.

Then I go through her list of songs. Surprisingly the songs I liked were more than 50... 89 to be exact, so I transfer them to my phone and put them in the OURS file, which I send it to her too.

"I am done! Check it out, babe." I give her her phone to look at the list smiling wildly at how cute she is. She is already sleepy, I can tell by the way she rubs her eyes.

"Ours, huh?" she comments on the name.

"Well, it is!" I exclaim, eye rolling. She checks at the songs as I go through my Spotify account. After a while she crawls up to me and kisses me sweetly.

"I like our list." She kisses me again and I lace my legs around her waist, trapping her closer to me.

"Good." I peck her nose. "Oh, now that I remembered, I found a new composer that you will love." I tell her and unlock my phone again. I spent last night trying to find a sleep list for her and I came across an artist that was really amazing. He is known, but I had never heard of him, giving I don't listen to that kind of music.

"Oh yeah, who?" she asks intrigued.

"Max Richter. Here, listen to this." I chose one of the melodies I liked as well, 'Departure(home)' I close my eyes as the piano starts playing and I feel Sophie resting her head on my chest. A few more songs of his, later, I open my eyes, calm and sleepy as hell, noticing that it's already 22:24.

"Did you like it, babe?" I ask Sophie, but I get no reply. She is sleeping safe and sound in my arms, occasionally drooling on my left boob, and I chuckle at the image. I stop the music, lock my phone and after I cover both our bodies with my sheet, I turn off the lamp on my night stand, and close my eyes as well.

It goes without saying that Sophie added Max Richter on her sleep list, and secretly I did too.

A/N: Long time no see! We apologize for the late update! We hope you enjoy this! Thank you for sticking with us and our story for this long! xx
