You and Michael had been working together about a year and a half, and started dating September of this year. Because of the administration that you both had criticisms of, as well as not to distract your students, you decided not to make your relationship public at work. At least, not yet.

You were in the teachers lounge alone, grabbing some coffee when Michael entered silently. He spotted you, a smile crossing his face. He gave a cursory glance around to make sure no one else was around before he wrapped his arms around your waist, pressing a kiss to your cheek.

“Hi…” he greeted sweetly, grinning from ear to ear.
